Sweet dreams
"What are you thinking about?" a voice from behind asked
The blond haired man quickly jumped out of the chair and faced towards Tifa. He glanced down, trying to avoid her eyes. She slowly walked towards him and lifted his chin with her finger. A look of concern was in her eyes as she tried to see what was wrong.
"What's wrong? Cloud is there something bothering you?" Tifa said worriedly as she placed both of her hands on his shoulders
There was dead silence until the disturbed man finally lied with a "no". A look of disappointment replaced her expression on her face as she diverted her eyes to the side of the bar.
"I see…" Tifa said quietly as she made her way to one of the seats beside where Cloud had recently sat
She looked at her hands as she started to whirl her thumbs around in a circular motion as she held her hand when she sat down. Cloud looked at the silent woman as he tried to think of another topic for them to discuss, but later found out that he did not know any topic that was interesting. A few moments after seeing Tifa sitting down, he sat down next to her and placed his hand on top of hers. The Brunette looked up with a frown on her face and asked why he was not telling her what was bothering him. He reassured her that it was nothing worth mentioning about and said that he had no troubles that he needed to talk about.
"Are you sure? You seemed to be worried about something so I thought it was something important that you needed to talk about. But Cloud, even though it's not worth mentioning, do you think you could tell me what was bothering you earlier anyways?" Tifa questioned warmly
Cloud sighed and looked directly into her eyes and wondered whether he should actually tell her, but he knew that she could detect a lie a mile away.
"I just had a nightmare that was all. In it…. you were in pain and I am just shook up by it…. Tifa, could you promise me one thing?" Cloud said firmly
She nodded and asked what that was. Cloud then became serious and asked her if she would forgive him if he was to do something bad, something bad to her.
"Why are you asking me this Cloud? Did you do something?" Tifa questioned him suspiciously as if he already went to her drawers and did a panty raid on them.
Cloud stuttered before he let out a sigh, he knew that she wasn't taking this question seriously and answered with a "no". Tifa smiled and laid her head on Cloud's shoulder and told him that he was stupid. He looked down at her with a surprised look on his face.
"Cloud, I will always be there for you even though you may have done something that was bad. It does not matter to me, as long as I'm with you I do not care. It because I care for you..." Tifa answered as she looked up at Cloud
Before he could smile, he felt the warmth of Tifa's breath as it touched his face soothingly. His heart started to race as she slowly began to raise her face towards him. Tifa smiled and rested her forehead on his. Cloud smiled and looked onto her ruby eyes as they sparkled under the moonlight.
"We should head up, it's late." He said gently as he rose from his chair
Tifa looked up and nodded her head, hiding her face for a moment when he rose up. As they both went up the cold wooden floor, Tifa leaned her head on his shoulder until they were at her room.
"Well I guess this is my stop then. Try to have nice dreams this time Cloud. Ok? Or would you rather sleep with me for today?" she said teasingly as she opened her door
Both of them smiled and said their "goodnights" before she left Cloud standing in front of her door alone
"Sweet dreams Tifa."
