Chapter 4

The heck was that just now? The general kept on staring at me like I'm a piece of meat ready to be eaten. I had to excuse my self to get out from that situation. Never again am I going to get near the silver haired general. But his eyes are beautiful thou… the heck am I thinking!

Cloud was walking in the corridor, heading towards his barrack. The situation that happened earlier had been set in the furthest end of his brain to just simply forget, yeah if it was ever easy.

Arriving into the 4th barrack, he went straight to his bed and take a long nap. His dreams filled with silver and green.

[CLOUD SLEEPING, AFTER A FEW HOURS, THE SUN HAD FINALLY SET]

Cloud sat up on his bed, wide awake, sweating with fear flashing in his eyes, then his face settled back to its stoic mask. Standing up, looking at the door, and glancing above it at the clock above the door, it was 10.06pm. Hmmm… seems like curfew had pass two hours ago. Guess it won't hurt to have a walk around the area, besides the moon is full tonight and it's a clear sky. Owh well won't know if you won't try.

Walking out of the room, Cloud made it to the door that led to the outside world, taking a deep breath he opened the door and walked out.

[SEPHIROTH'S POV]

*SIGH* Finally I was able to finish up all the paperwork I received for the next two weeks, seems like I have more free time then I used to have now all my work was finish, unless the president decides to give me a shit load of more paperwork. Looking at my wrist watch, it was 10.17pm. There won't be anyone awake right now. Looking out from my window, the area where ShinRa left untouched and where flowers and trees can grow, hmmm… I saw a figure standing on the hill where the moon shines brightly on. The figure seems to be looking at the area, a Soldier? No it can't be, that blonde hair… it's the boy, a cadet, Cloud Strife. What is he doing, it's late, and why is he outside. I saw the boy turned slightly and at that position I can see his face. I gasped as I saw what looks like a portrait for art. The moonlight shone on the boy's body and faces, making his blue eyes look stunning, his blond hair flowing to the slight breeze, and his hair seems to glow. I realized that my leather pants were starting to get uncomfortable as I kept my eyes on the blonde. Maybe a walk around the academy seems to be an interesting idea. Standing up, I strode to the door, heading to where the blonde cadet is.

[CLOUD'S POV]

It's a clear night, the moon was full as I walked around the area, I saw a hill where the moonlight seems to shine over it. I went to the said hill, and I had to hold my breath to see a beautiful night scenery, the area was filled with flowers, seems like ShinRa let this place to be natural as ever, to let all these flowers to grow. then I felt like someone was coming near me, as I turned around, I was face to face with silver, I looked up to see who it was. I inwardly groaned as I saw it was the general, how annoying he has been keeping an eye on me for some reason or is it just my imagination. I solute the general

Cloud: "Sir!"

Sephiroth: "At ease cadet, and let me remind you that I told you to call me Sephiroth when there are no audience around us, unless if the audience were Angeal, Genesis or Zack. "

Cloud: Right Si…Sephiroth

Sephiroth:*smiles* *He called me by my name*

" May I ask on why are you out and about Cloud?"

Cloud:*the hell is he calling me with my first name*

"Um… I'm just having a walk, getting fresh air."

Sephiroth: "I see, seems like you're a little nervous to be around a lot of people in a day. You seemed to be the silent and solitude type."

Cloud: *nervous? psh… yeah riiiight. I am the solitude type I love to be alone, but shy and nervousness is so not me. Is he trying to make me feel better if I was the nervous type, psssh…*

"Yeah, I don't really like to be around many people, I rather be in my own solitude. Well, I should be heading back to my barrack.

Goodnight Si…Sephiroth"

Sephiroth: What's the rush? *blocks Cloud's path*

Cloud:*noticed the reaction, fidgets, steps back* "um… Sir, it's passed curfew. And I'm a cadet, so I'm actually not allowed to be out from my barrack at this time."

Sephiroth: *noticed Cloud stepped back, felt a nervous for direct shown emotion*

"I see, so you went out of your barrack, knowing about the rules of curfew in the academy. My, my, breaking the rules on your first day." *giggles*

Cloud:*annoyed with the long boring and useless conversation with the general, decides to end the conversation and head back to the barrack*

"Sir, if I may be excused now, Goodnight"

This time Cloud managed to walk around the general, before the general can block his was, and rushed towards his barrack.

[SEPHIROTH'S POV]

I saw the boy at the same place when I last saw him, even thou it took 30 minutes to go down all the floors, but took me 5 minutes for rushing. And it was worth it, I had to hold my breath when is aw him up close. I made my way behind him. As I saw how his hair glow, I realized that I was close enough to touch him I just stretch my arm. Then he turned around an my breath was knocked out of my lungs as I saw how his eyes looked at me, like he was looking straight in to my soul. I didn't realize he was saluting me till my brain starts to take in all the surroundings.

Cloud: "Sir!"

Sephiroth: "At ease cadet, and let me remind you that I told you to call me Sephiroth when there are no audience around us, unless if the audience were Angeal, Genesis or Zack."

Cloud: "Right Si…Sephiroth"

Sephiroth:*smiles* *He called me by my name*

"May I ask on why are you out and about Cloud?

Cloud: "Um… I'm just having a walk, getting fresh air."

Sephiroth: "I see, seems like you're a little nervous to be around a lot of people in a day. You seemed to be the silent and solitude type."

*why am I so drawn to this boy?*

Cloud: "Yeah, I don't really like to be around many people, I rather be in my own solitude. Well, I should be heading back to my barrack.

Goodnight Si…Sephiroth"

Sephiroth: "What's the rush?" *blocks Cloud's path*

Cloud:*noticed the reaction, fidgets, steps back* "um… Sir, it's passed curfew. And I'm a cadet, so I'm actually not allowed to be out from my barrack at this time."

Sephiroth: *noticed Cloud stepped back, felt a nervous for direct shown emotion, why did I just did that? Why do I want the boy to stay a little longer with me?*

"I see, so you went out of your barrack, knowing about the rules of curfew in the academy. My, my, breaking the rules on your first day." *giggles**what the hell? Why did I just giggle like a girl who met her crush? *

Cloud: "Sir, if I may be excused now, Goodnight"

Sigh, looking at Cloud walking away, I realized I need to think about what is wrong with me. Wait… this feeling; I feel warm inside and happy when I'm with him. Could this be what love is? *Looks up to see the full moon shining on him* hmmm… so it seems I had fallen to a chocobo, Cloud…
