Cutest Confession

When the bell rang, students didn't went home, they were buzzing around as Cloud carried Tifa bridal style and led her to the infirmary, covering her with the curtains of the laboratory. They also took Reno with them, well; they just can't leave him like that.

Everyone kept a huge crowd in front of the infirmary. No one can enter nor get out. Everyone was buzzing around and glancing at Cloud.

"His hot..."

"His Tifa's boyfriend?"

"He was carrying her like they were newlyweds!"

"Why was Reno in the picture?"

The mumbles and chattering was going wild, Cloud got irritated and closed the curtains of the bed where Tifa was supposed to lay down. She was in the changing room. After a couple of minutes, she was in a jacket with jeans.

"Thank you doc" Tifa smiled at the doctor.

"Just return the clothes next time" the doctor smiled back and turned to Cloud "is he your infamous boyfriend?" Cloud was wide eye while Tifa blushed. Cloud glanced at him once then smirks.

"Yep. That's me. Cloud strife ma'am" he kissed the doctors hand, the doctor blushed.

"My Tifa, you have such a gentleman here, not like when you were with Reno" the name made Cloud irritated and boils on the inside, his still mad from what he saw.

When they got out of the infirmary, the students gave them way, yet they still mobbed both of them with questions.

"Hey, are you really Tifa's boyfriend?"

"What's your name, hottie?"

"Since when have you been going out?"

"What school do you attend to?"

Cloud smiled at them but didn't answer any of them, he was holding Tifa's wrist tight. Tifa knew something was wrong; Cloud wasn't in the happy mood he was showing now. When they got to Tifa's place, it was a good thing, Yuffie wasn't home, well it was expected, and she's probably off to her job. Cloud leads the way to Tifa's bedroom. She just followed him along, still nervous. When they got in, Cloud shut the door and locked it, Tifa gulped.

"What did I saw" He began in a more annoyed tone, now he was showing what his really feeling.

"I was-" Tifa was about to explain, but Cloud kept cutting her off.

"What were you two doing?"

"It was-"

"I thought you two were already over, what happened?"

"We-"

"Were you-?"

"Cloud!" now it was Tifa's turn to cut him off. He went silent and stared at her intently "Cloud, we won't resolve anything like this…"

"Then let's take it one by one" he suggested.

"How?"

"I ask first, answer it honestly. Then you get to ask next, answer all questions, no skipping"

"Deal" Tifa nodded.

"Let's begin?"

"Go"

"Ok" Cloud started "are you still with a relationship with Reno?"

"No, why did your wings disappear?"

"I drank some new potion in Hojo's lab, it turned me human. Why did I saw you almost naked while Reno was above you?"

"He was going to do something bad to me. Are you and Elena still…" Tifa could continue, but Cloud knew what she was going to say.

"Were long over. What was the school buzzing about me your boyfriend?"

"…" Tifa couldn't answer quickly, she was silent but answered when Cloud began counting "they saw me drawing your face then thought you were my boyfriend!" she was blushing scarlet. Cloud smirked then Tifa asked.

"Have you been good up there?" she couldn't think of any more questions, but she knew he has a zillion.

"I've been, so I can make a special someone smiles" he smiled and touched her cheeks. he went silent, they had an awkward moment, then he spoke as she touch his hand from her cheeks and rub it against her skin, showing she missed him so much "my turn to ask… Do you love me?"

Tifa stopped and stared at him, eye to eye. She didn't know what to say, did she love him? She felt her heart beating rapidly, was that a sign? She never felt this adrenaline with Reno before. What was this about? She can feel her cheeks turn crimson. Cloud waited sincerely for her answer. She took his hand away from her face, holds it with both hands and gave it a soothing grip. The tension going on between they seem to cool down. Then Tifa placed his hand against her chest, making him feel her heartbeat thumping really fast, he blushed at the feeling.

"I…" she began. Cloud's face seems to get nearer to hers "I…"

"Tell me… what you honestly feel" Cloud whispered, their foreheads and noses were connected to each other.

"I…I love you!" she screamed out while blushing scarlet "how about you…" she looked him in the eye "do you love me too?" her eyes were glittering in his shinning blue eyes. He smiled.

"I thought you'll never ask…" he gave her a peck on the lips then looked at her again; she was already wide eye with the quick kiss "I loved you, ever since I laid my eyes on you"

They kissed again, but this time, it wasn't haste, it was long and passionate, pouring all their feeling out to each other, when Cloud tried to go further, Tifa stopped him.

"Cloud, not yet…" she said with a pant. Cloud shook his head and smiled, he wasn't going to rush her, but he wanted to get it over with since he doesn't know if the potions effect will last longer. Then, the romantic moment ended, when an impatient tummy grumbled.

"Oohhh, looks like someone's hungry…" Cloud was in the edge to burst out laughing, Tifa pouted and drag Cloud down to the kitchen. The kitchen was ordinary, brown and cream tiles, with the basic cooking materials and stuff; it had an out of town feeling.

"Even if you're an angel, you eat right?" Tifa asked.

"Of course!"

"You have animals up there?"

"Nope, the cooks just magically appear food on the table, why?"

"Hmm, I thought you eat stars for dinner and drink rain" she joked. Cloud smirked and went to search in the fridge. Tifa stopped him.

"Hey! My kitchen! Don't just roam around the contents of my fridge!"

"But I'm hungry too" he pouted. Tifa gave in and allowed him to prepare two sandwiches for them.

"You know… I can make a better looking sandwich than just peanut butter and jam" Tifa looked at Cloud who looked like a child, having a lot of peanut butter on his face.

"But I love peanut butter… it holds a special memory" he smiled.

Flashback…

"Hey" a little girl with dark brown hair and red glittering eyes called out. She was wearing an angel costume while holding a plate of peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Uhh" a boy with spike haired was dumbfounded. He wore a white suit and he had wings that seemed to be attached to his back, they looked realistic.

"You don't look like an invited guest here in my costume party, who are you?" she smiled. He stared at her.

"I'm… uhm…" he thought he was in trouble. He was told not to go out, but since he got curious of the noises next door, he went out and checked it out.

"Don't be scared… I won't hurt you" she went near him and touches his hands. She was warm, which made him smile.

"You have beautiful eyes… they're like the sky" she had an eye contact with him. He felt nervous "what's your name?"

"I'm… Cl-Cloud" he was stuttering.

"Cl-Cloud?" she repeated.

"Cloud… just Cloud..." he tried to give a smile. She looked beautiful in his eyes, though they were still young, she seemed someone special.

"Well I'm-" the little girl was just about to introduce her when her mother called.

"Sweetie! Time to blow the candles!" a young lady who seemed to be her mother, holding another baby called out.

"I got to go! Come on! Let's blow the candles together!" the girl pulled him but he stop. He knew if he was out too long, his parents would notice.

"Sorry, but I have to go"

"Can't you stay?"

"No…"

"Ohh..." her smile faded and she bowed her head and look at the plate with the peanut butter and jam sandwich "oh!" she thought of an idea.

"Here!" she handed him the plate "let's pretend this is a big cake with candles!" her smile appeared again, she was so cheerful, while he was so emotionless… they sang happy birthday and pretended to blow candles. She gave him the whole plate as her treat.

"This can be your goodie bag! Since you can't stay long!" she smiled then was about to run off when he pulled her.

"Uhmm… here... happy birthday..." he gave her a wolf ring. She looked at it, amazed.

"For real?" she asked.

"Yeah" he gave her his most genuine smile. She took his gift and hugged him tight "this is the most important present I ever had! Thanks you!" she kissed his cheeks. He turned crimson as a reaction.

"Honey! The cake can't wait! Hurry up!" her mother became impatient. She really has to go.

"I really have to go" she lets him go "can I see you again?"

"Yeah… just always wear that... we'll… see each other… someday" his words gave her hope.

"Bye Cloud!" She waved good bye but stop.

"Oh yeah, Remember me, ok? Tifa!" she shouted her name and went off. He too, went back home, where an unexpected news came to him.

End of flashback…

"Oh really? What's that?" she asked quite curious.

"A friend gave it to me, she had the same name as you" he smiled. He didn't get curious if she was that little girl and never dared ask, though she did seem to have a nostalgic feeling on him, he didn't care, past is past, their present and future were what matters now, especially the future.

"I see…" she didn't say anything else and began to finish her sandwich; suddenly someone entered the door to the kitchen.

"Sis! Are you okay they said something-" a panicking Yuffie halts when she saw a blue eyed a spiky haired boy sitting across her sister. Vincent came from behind and also was surprise to see him there.

"Who are you?" Yuffie whistled "you look decent… and hot" Yuffie was bolder than Tifa and would always say what's inside her thoughts. Vincent shook his head. He felt embarrass at how his girlfriend reacted, especially when he knew, his big brother was that 'hot' guy she was referring to.

"Cloud Strife, Tifa's official boyfriend" he proudly stated. Tifa blushed crimson red. Yuffie grew a smile up to her ears. Vincent, on the other hand, had his eyes wore widen.

"T-I-F-A!" Yuffie pulled her sisters clothes like a little girl asking to buy her a toy "why didn't you tell me you REALLY had a boyfriend! I thought all of the rumors were fake! And his name is Cloud! His for real! I'm so happy for you! Even at your condition, there was still someone-" Yuffie covered her mouth. Tifa sighed and gave her a smile.

"I'm sorry" she became calm and bowed her head. She didn't mean to offend her sister, it was just, her wishes for her came true and she was happy.

"Cheer up Yuffie, come on, help me get new bandages for the stigma" Yuffie lifted her head and hugged her sister tightly then they headed to the stairs, as they went up, Tifa gave cloud a message through her mind.

'You two have your sibling talk' her voice echoed in his mind. He knew she was smiling when she sent it.

'I will' he replied. He looked at Vincent. He was still silent but, seemed to have moved on from his shock.

"How did this happen?" Vincent asks.

"Potion that transforms angels to humans. I tell you, never under estimate an angels mind" Cloud was proud.

"Nah, I can see clearly you're not one of THOSE geniuses you're proudly saying" Vincent sat down. Cloud was shock and annoyed.

"How can you say that to your big brother?" Cloud pouted like a child. Vincent laughed.

"When it comes to being mature… your more immature than any teenager could be" now Cloud felt insulted.

"I can be serious enough to face danger without feeling fear"

"I know that… but" Vincent took a glass and poured water in it from the tap "she's like this water, every second, she goes nearer to being dust and farther from you" he drank slowly. Cloud gaze slowly at the water as it entered Vincent's mouth.

"I'll find a way. I won't lose her. Never"

"Why didn't you say that when mama and papa had it?"

"I don't care, they abandon me, they choose to be here, and they choose to cast me away, forget me and when they had you… I was a nobody" Cloud clenched his fist.

"You still think that? I remember when I first saw you; you said that you were supposed to be Cloud Valentine. That I… shouldn't have existed"

"Like I said, I don't care anymore, past is past, yet I won't forget my wrath towards their betrayal, what matters most now is Tifa…"

Silent and a tense atmosphere enveloped the whole kitchen, after a couple of minutes, Tifa and Yuffie went down, Tifa had a new bandage strap around her tummy. Yuffie glanced at the two boys who seem to ignore each other as if the other wasn't there.

"Hey, you two ok?" Yuffie asked. Both boys glance her way and shook their heads at the same time "hmm… you two are acting like siblings who got in a fight" the word sibling hit them hard, they turn to Yuffie and told her that they weren't related and never will, they said the words at the same time with exact tone, Yuffie became silent.

'You two talked?' Tifa didn't want to talk with Yuffie and Vincent around, so she used her mind to talk to Cloud. He glances at her then turn away.

'Yeah...' he replied.

'Did something bad happen?'

'Nothing…'

'Don't lie to me Cloud Strife'

'Why do you have to know?'

'Because I'm your girlfriend' he smirked at her reply.

'I knew you'd say that… can you say something I want to hear?'

'What?'

'Someday… you'll be Tifa Strife'

'…' Tifa was blushing; Yuffie noticed but didn't ask, they were still silent, though Cloud and Tifa seemed to show smiles or other emotions without any reason that Yuffie can think of.

'We just started this relationship a while ago, now you want marriage?' Tifa finally answered back.

'I'm a bit hasty'

'You should slow down a bit, I'm a slowpoke'

'Then I'll carry you so we can go on faster'

Now Cloud and Tifa glanced at each other and started giggling. Vincent knew they were talking and just sighed in his sit, shaking his head. Yuffie, on the other hand was feeling that everyone in this house was going nuts! Maybe she just needs more rest; she has been going to school, dates with Vincent and work without rest. Maybe a good long comfy sleep would do.


Alright! How many days have I done this? Was I early? Did I keep my promise? I'm not sure if this is a good one, i hope I kept my promise, not much inspired since exams are up. My head hurts from studying… well, hope you like it!
