Characters: Tifa, Rufus, Reno, President Shinra, Rude, Barret and Marlene. Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII or any of the characters but unofficially Cloud and Rufus are MINE!!!
The sun rose and made it's way through the window over to Tifa's bed. Tifa slowly woke up and wanted to go back to sleep. That's when she realized that someone was laying beside her. She was leaning up against his chest and was locked in his arms. She felt a hand stroking her hair. Tifa smiled to herself.
"Morning Rufus" She said and rolled over to look at him. He was propped up on his elbow and smirking down at her.
"Morning Tiff, did you sleep well?" Rufus said playfully.
"What do you think" Tifa challenge and slowly her hand made it's way down to try and tickle him again. Rufus grabbed her wrist.
"Nice try" He chuckled and kiss her nose, he rolled out of bed and stood up. Tifa flopped down and closed her eyes. "Don't tell me your going back to sleep"
"Masdunbeksfubf" Tifa mumbled into her pillow, Rufus raised an eye brow, not being fluent in pillow langue he decided that that was a no. Rufus rolled his eyes and walked over to her. He lifted her up into his arms and carried her down stairs. Tifa soon realize what was happening her eyes shot open as Rufus took her outside into the cold.
"Rufus! take me back inside!" Tifa warned and shivered, Rufus pretended to drop her and she screamed. Rufus just laughed at her and brought her back inside. He set her down and Tifa whacked him in the arm.
"Don't think I wont get you back for that" Tifa grinned at him and he smirked evilly at her. Tifa stuck out her tongue and started making breakfast for them both. Rufus watched her and smiled, she was always so cheerful, it made him happy. Rufus sat down at the counter and Tifa sat on the other side. She slide him a plate before taking her own and looked over at him.
"Not first class food, I hope that's ok" Tifa said, she sounded serious.
"Of course it is, this taste great" Rufus chuckled, he was a little taken back that the comment still hurt her. He could understand why though. "Are you still upset about what I said?"
"No I was just kidding" Tifa laughed, and smiled at him. Rufus and Tifa continued to enjoy their meal. Tifa would sometimes look over at him and study his face. When he looked up at her she would shoot her eyes away and pretend that she wasn't looking. Rufus would always smirk at her kid like behavior but he found it cute. Their meal was soon interrupted when Reno same running through the door.
"R... Rufus, I.. I.. I found you!" Reno said, out of breath "I've been running all over sector 7 searching for you. I figure you'd be here but this place isn't easy to find."
"And why were you looking for me?" Rufus asked, "You know I can take care of myself"
"I know but your father doesn't and when you don't come home the whole night and not call he's bound to freak out......... and he did" Reno informed him. Rufus sighed.
"I guess I better head back," Rufus said, he sounded said to leave, which made Tifa blush.
"Ok lets go" Reno said and Rufus put his hand up, he waved at Reno to tell him to go outside.
"I'll be there in one second" Rufus said.
"But..." Reno started.
"Go!" Rufus said but not in a mean way. Reno nodded and head out the door. Tifa was kind puzzled why Rufus wanted him to leave but she let it go. Tifa put away the plates and walked over to him.
"See you later I guess" Tifa said, she was kind of unsure if he would ask her out again.
"Hey come over tonight" Rufus said.
"What?" Tifa was surprised, she had expected him to ask her to dinner but this was even better.
"Ya just come over and wear something nice." He smirked at her and she blushed.
"Fine, but can I ask why you asked Reno to leave?" Tifa questioned and Rufus chuckled.
"People don't respect their leaders if they know their 'soft' I didn't want Reno to see me say good bye to you" Rufus said and blushed a little.
"Why? what would he have seen that would've been so bad" Tifa said in a hinting voice and stepped towards him. Rufus smirked and wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh just this" Rufus chuckled and leaned down to kiss her. Tifa deepened the kiss and smiled against his lips. They broke apart and smiled at each other.
"Ok see you tonight at...." Tifa said.
"Seven ok?" Rufus smirked and Tifa hugged him, she kissed him on the cheek and he walked out with a quick good bye. Tifa sighed to herself and want to float away on a cloud. She shook her head, 'snap out of it girl, no day dreaming!' Tifa sighed again and continued cleaning and getting really for another day at her bar.
"You guys are so cute together" Reno said in a girly voice trying to make fun of Rufus.
"What ever" Rufus said in a flat voice, and hit Reno in the stomach.
"No I'm serious, I think you 2 should get married!" Reno said, he sounded serious and it made Rufus choke.
"I just met the girl, I'm not going to marry her" Rufus said and rolled his eyes, "I want to marry for love and I don't know if I'm in love with her"
"What ever boss, judging by the way you to are together I'd say you were in love" Reno teased.
"Am not" Rufus lamely fought back.
"Who are you trying to convince me or yourself" Reno said, he was serious when he was talking about the love thing. They looked so happy and he had never in his life seen Rufus smile. Reno had seen it just recently and was happy for that.
"I'm not trying to convince anyone, I don't and that's that" Rufus said and stuck his nose in the air.
"Liar" Reno muttered quietly and Rufus didn't hear him. They walked silently the rest of the way to ShinRa. Rufus was still thinking about what Reno had said. Was he in love? Reno was making wedding plans and started to hum 'Here comes the bride'. Rufus hit him and he stopped but still chuckled to himself.
"Where have you been all night!" The president yelled, he was angry and worried at the same time.
"I was at Tifa's house" Rufus replied ignoring his father tone.
"You can't go to that girl's house! What if someone we know sees you" The president snapped.
"Then I'll say Hi" Rufus smirked and stepped into the elevator and press the button. He waited until it stopped and stepped out. He went into his room and started to think, he had invited Tifa over at 7. What was he going to do with her..... hmmmm... got it! He had an idea. He picked up the phone and order and dinner table to be set up and food to be made for 7 o'clock. He smirked, he hoped she would like it. Tifa hummed her songs and she cleaned up the bar and locked it up.
Tifa twirled around and got ready for her date. She slipped into a pair of jeans and a nice looking shirt. She was kinda upset that she didn't have a beautiful dress but it didn't bother her to much. She never liked wearing dresses anyways. Tifa brushed out her hair and smiled and her reflection. She made sure everything was turned off and locked the door. Tifa walked quickly to the ShinRa house... well if you could call it a house. The air was cold and she wanted to get inside quickly. Tifa opened the door and was greeted by the president.
"So this is the girl that my son is in love with" He said plainly and she froze.
"L.. Lo.. Love?" Tifa stuttered, "I don't think he's in love with me" She smiled politely.
"He's my son, you forget, I know what he looks like when he's in love" The President smiled warmly at her. Tifa returned his smile and was about to head up to Rufus's room but The President stopped her.
"Don't break his heart alright" The President said, "Rufus loves you, and even though I may not agree with that" Tifa frowned "There's nothing I can do about it."
"I wont" Tifa smiled weakly.
"You should marry him" The President said, before Tifa could say anything a very angry Rufus stepped out of the elevator. He had over heard the whole thing.
"I think I'll decide that" Rufus said and grabbed Tifa's wrist, he glared at his father and he lead her into the elevator. When the doors closed his look softened.
"I'm sorry," He said "My dad can be.... annoying" He said lacking a better word.
"That's ok" Tifa smiled at him, Rufus walked closer to her and kissed her lightly.
"You look pretty" He said softly and Tifa blushed.
"Thank you" Tifa smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The elevator stopped and Rufus took her hand again.
"Come on I have something I think you'll like" He said leading her out onto the roof. Tifa gasped, In the middle of the roof was a candle lit table for 2 and a beautiful city surrounding it. Tifa couldn't move.
"You don't like it?" Rufus asked sadly.
"Are you kidding, it's amazing" Tifa said and Rufus smiled. He lead her to the table and pulled out her chair. Tifa sat down and smiled. He sat down on the other side and looked over at her. He could tell she was still trying to take in everything. "It's not everyday I get to have dinner on the roof but the hugest building in town with the guy I love" Tifa said but her eyes widened as soon as she realized what she had said and she put her hands over her mouth. Rufus raised and eye brow and chuckled.
"I love you too" He smiled at her. Tifa lowered her hands and turn 300 shades of red. Tifa couldn't believe she had said that and he had said it back it made her.... happy! Dinner continued on and they ended up talking about a lot. Tifa was really enjoying herself. They shared desert and soon the dinner was over. Rufus looked over at her.... should he? He wasn't sure. Aw to hell with it he'd do it.
"Come here" Rufus said and stood up, he walked over to her chair and pulled her up. Tifa wasn't sure what he was doing. Tifa walked with him to the edge of the roof. There was a gold light, it was thin and shinning towards them. Rufus took her hand and moved it to the light that shinning on her wedding finger. Tifa looked down, she gasped, is that... it couldn't be. Rufus leaned over and whispered into her ear.
"Will you marry me Miss Lockhart"
