Chapter 2
Tifa was sitting on a bed and was talking to Vincent. She told him about her conversation with Cloud earlier.
"He loves you, he really does…" he said in his usual cold voice.
"How do you know?" she asked quietly.
"He's always telling me that for ages."
"You know that I love him… Did you tell him?"
"No." He replied shortly.
"Arigato…" she said sadly.
"Why don't you tell him?" he asked looking directly at her eyes.
She promptly looked away from him but he saw sorrow in her eyes. She again looked at him but this time she was smiling, though the sorrow was still in her eyes.
"I told you I'm happy being his friend, I can show my love for him much better."
"Tomodachi…" he repeated quietly and there was something different in the way he said it.
"Tomodachi… I—"
"—are you sure you want to be his friend, just his friend?" he said emphasizing his last words.
Tifa again remained silent. She did not know what to say, she was looking for words but could not find one to answer the question. Vincent on the other hand looked at her; he is the cold type person, mysterious but is always concerned especially when it's about Tifa Lockheart.
