Affection…

"… One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU..."

Tifa liked this day. It was a Monday and a lot of customers were always getting her busier than she had too, but what this day made it special, it was her and Cloud's anniversary. Cloud stayed home and kept an eye on Tifa. Tifa didn't mind getting her customers minimized; actually, she wanted to close early so she can have her little time with the special person in her life.

Morning…

"Teef" Cloud stared at Tifa with glowing shimmering eyes.

"Yes, Cloud?"

"I'm really lucky"

"Of what?"

"Of having you" he gave her a smile. The smile that was only for her.

Mid of day…

"Tifa" he just finished his meal.

"Yes?" she took his plate to wash it, but having difficulty with the stampeding orders of customers.

"I'll handle them" Cloud took his plate and washed it with the other dirty dishes. Tifa smiled at him, and then he turned his head.

"It's to show you how I care of you" He made her blush and more hyper in getting everything done so she can already close.

Night…

"Tifa" Cloud just got out the shower. Dressed already.

"Wait Cloud" she had already closed. An hour or two early than she usually do. She was preparing the change for the next day and other things.

"I'll help you" Cloud did his best to help, but he wasn't good with money matters that much, but they managed to finish quicker.

"Thank you" Tifa smiled at him, then began to wonder.

"Uhm... Cloud?" she was hesitating.

"What is it?"

"Throughout the day… you keep telling me things…"

"What things?" he was acting dense; he knew what she was talking about.

"Uhm... you know?"

"Tell me straight, Teef" he was pushing her.

"That... you like me... lucky to have me… you care for me… things like that"

"…" he was silent for a moment with a smile but eventually spoke "It's my way"

"What way?"

"To show how I really care for you and how lucky I am to have you..." a long explanation with one word meaning.

"So... you're showing…"

"Affection" he smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips. She pulled him from the neck to deepen the kiss. They remained this way till they became breathless.

*Click* a silent sound that the couples didn't seem to notice from the window sill was being made by Yuffie.

"I can't wait to show this to everyone" Yuffie gave an evil smile. She doesn't really much care of privacy, except hers of course. She was someone Cloud and Tifa can never hide from. A True thief turned to a True stalker.
