Yuffie quickly took out a simple bag of hers, each male in the group putting in a secret item of theirs before she walked to the center of the room, standing on the coffee table. "Alright… You first!" He giggled, her finger pointing straight to you as she hopped down, shoving the bag in your face, but high enough to where you couldn't see inside.
You reached your hand in, giving a nervous smile as you dug around, soon feeling something simple, thin, and soft. Pulling out the item, you soon realized it was the ribbon Cloud had worn while he had Geostigma.
"So… I guess I got you." He mumbled in his normal expressionless voice, standing up and walking you to the closet door. "Only seven minutes, so act fast!" Yuffie snickered, giving a cheeky grin as she closed and locked the door, only to leave the two of you alone in the closet.
"S-So, Cloud…" You mumbled, internally cursing yourself for stuttering. "Hm? What is it _...?" He answered rather quickly, giving an unusual and small smile. "What do you want to do while we're stuck in here?" You asked, being sure he wouldn't want to play some silly game that had been used as an attempt to get friends to hook up with each other.
"Well… If you don't mind, um…" He paused, seeming a bit hesitant. "Would you let me try something…?" He asked, a little blush crossing your cheeks in which you couldn't notice from how dark it was. "Sure." You answered, not really wanting to deny him.
You had to admit, even if it wasn't immediately, you had started to develop a strong crush on the blonde, in which Tifa had always teased you about since she noticed when you would visit the bar and see him.
Lost in your thoughts, your eyes widened upon feeling a soft pair of lips come in contact with your own, making your eyes widen a bit before shutting tightly as you raised your hands, soon coming to your senses only to realize from your shock that Cloud was the one kissing you. He seemed rather gentle and shy, having a fear that he would break you into little pieces if he wasn't careful enough.
After pulling back for air, the two of you sat silently in the dark closet, Cloud seeming to break the silence as he pulled you close into his lap, nuzzling his nose into your neck. "_?" He asked, seeming a bit shyer than before.
"Hm?" You answered, still blushing heavily from the kiss. "W-Will you... Be-" Before he could finish, Yuffie had burst open the door, only to reveal Cloud's red face and yours, having been much more red than yourself. "Time's up, you two!" She giggled, knowing she had interrupted him, despite being on time anyways. Cloud slowly helped you out of his lap before pulling the two of you up, walking out before sitting on the couch beside you just like before.
He seemed to stay silent the rest of the time, seeing as he had to muster up some bit of courage just to kiss you. After everybody had their turn, he walked up to you as you walked near the door to the guest room, grabbing your wrist softly.
"_-_... Um… W-Will you… Be my girlfriend…?" He asked, looking into your eyes with his own, seeming to have an expression of a kitten who begged for attention. Heat rose to both of your cheeks as the two of you stood in silence for a while, quickly wrapping your arms around him as you smiled.
"I love you, _."
"I love you too, Cloud."
