My One And Only

Chapter 10

Making It Official

"Mmm….ugh…ah…AHH!"

Aerith shoot up in the bed with a fright. Her body was sweaty, her face pale and her heart was racing so fast it sounded like a humming bird inside her chest.

"It…it was that dream again…The one I can't remember." She whisper to herself.

Though she couldn't remember the hole dream she did remember a few things about it, very little things though…mostly shadow things.

It was always dark in her dream the only light there was the one above her, always above her like a stage light only this one was a lot warmer almost like giving her reprieve of the darkness around her. She didn't like the dark. She was never scare of it before but the one in her dream was cold and menacing almost like it wanted to suck her in and devour her in its cold depths. Then someone voice was heard from the darkness she wasn't shore who that voice belong to but she knew she heard it before and wanted to go toward it, she wanted to go toward the person that voice belong to. She didn't remember what happen after that only a sharp feeling of pain and the sound of somebody screaming her name, then…nothing she would wake up.

"How strange…" She said a little more loudly then before, knowing nobody would hear her mostly because her mother slept like a log ones she hit the pillow but it was also early so she should go back to sleep though a little reluctant because she didn't want to have that same dream again.

She lay back her head on the pillow and thought about the couple of weeks that had pass by. She and Cloud were still secretly dating, well secretly dating from the school. Though she did promise Cloud that they would make it official around the school that they were boyfriend and girlfriend soon mostly because Tifa had been right and she was getting more popular each day-though she didn't how-which cause boys to try an ask her out more making a very jealous but very cute Cloud. Though he did look cute when he was jealous she didn't like to ties him to much like that especially when she knew how it felt after Cissnei had practically sat on his lap yesterday when she had decide she wanted to sit in the AVALANCHE table and star flirting with her boyfriend. Grr.

Cloud had really enjoyed seeing her jealous for a change.

~Flashback~

"You see, is not so fun when you're the one getting jealous now is it?" Cloud had said with a smirk.

"I am not jealous! I-I just didn't like the way she was practically sitting on your lap that's all." Aerith had said back, facing away from him to hide her red cheeks though he could still see it as he glance at her side ways.

He grin wider and walk toward her placing his arms around her slim waist he pull her back against his hard chest.

"That's being jealous Aerith and if it bother you that much why didn't you say anything?" Cloud ask sounding curios and a little disappointed.

Aerith stiffen for a moment then sighed and relax a little. She turn in his arm to face him and as she look up she notice that Cloud look a little sad, maybe because she didn't say anything when Cissnei had try to flirt with him like a good girlfriend should do. Aerith look down mad at how cowardly she had acted and how she had hurt Cloud's feelings. She then nodded to herself and look up back at Cloud resolve in her eyes. She knew what she had to do.

"Cloud lets tell the hole school that we're dating." She said fiercely. "Let show them that you are mine and I am yours."

Cloud had stare at her wide eye, his mouth slightly open. Then he snap out of it and look at her strait in the eye.

"Do you mean it Aerith…? Are you shore this is what you want?" He ask her.

She knew he would never push her to do something she didn't want to do and she was grateful to him because of that but she knew what she wanted to do and that was this. She place her hands on his face and pull him down for a kiss that he return instantly like he always did when she kiss him. He could never resist her kisses and she enjoy making him lose control like that when they were together. She broke the kiss and stare up at him smiling sweetly at his daze expression while giggling slightly.

"Yes, I'm shore I want this, more then anything." Where her last words before she kiss him again.

~End Of Flashback~

She sighed contently. They were going to show the hole school they were together today and she couldn't be happier, at first she though she would be nervous and scare telling the hole school they were dating especially the way Tifa and Yuffie had planed it to be, but she felt exited and some how relived at finally getting all this out. She could be with Cloud now with out having to worry about somebody seeing them together, she could actually kiss and hug him hopping instead that they will be seen together so every one could see that they belong to each other and most importantly that all the girls see them together including Cissnei so they would stop flirting with her boyfriend.

Aerith smile as she imagine the look on Cissnei face today when they tell the hole school they are together.

She giggle and said to herself, "I think Yuffie is robbing of on me. Who knew I could be so possessive."

Aerith let out a tired yawn and close her now heavy eyelids as she fell into a peaceful sleep this time.

It was morning now as the sun shone trough the open window of the room, the cur tents fluttering slightly by the soft breeze making a still sleeping Aerith stir.

Aerith felt very comfy today in her warm, soft bed. At the soft cool breeze Aerith snuggle more into her warm chits before noticing a slight weight over her left arm and a warm 'something' behind her. She turn to the warm 'something' and curl against it her mind to muddle by sleep notice or wonder what it was until it chuckle slightly and pull her closer to it.

Aerith gasp and sat up immediately only to find her boyfriend on the bed with her. Though he was over the covers it didn't stop her from blushing at finding herself in bed with a boy and not just any boy but her boyfriend which was not a good idea the way she always felt around him.

"C-Cloud w-what are you doing here?" She stutter and blush even more.

Cloud grin and sat up with her. He drew her into his arms kissing her forehead.

"I came to pick you up, but your mother said you hadn't woken up yet so I came to wake you up instead." He said as his fingers com her loose locks.

He like her hair loose like this but just when he could see it loose. If the other guys in school saw Aerith with her hair like this…

"I over slept?" Aeirth ask alarm snapping Cloud out of his murderous thoughts.

He smile down at her and said, "Only a little its still early, plus I'm glad you did. If you didn't I wouldn't have been able to catch you a sleep like this. You look so sweet when your asleep Aerith."

Aerith blush intensely and look away. Cloud cup her cheek with his hand turning her face toward him. He then kiss her cheek, her forehead, her other cheek, the tip of her nose and finally her lips slow and sensually. She melted instantly at his kiss, because just like him she could not resist his kisses. Cloud place Aerith on his lap wrapping his arms around her possessively as she wrapped her arms around his neck pressing her body more closely to his, but as the kiss grew more heated Aerith mother call them from downstairs telling them that if they kept dilly dallying they were going to be late for school. They broke the kiss both of them blushing deeply knowing that some how Elmyra knew they were kissing so as Cloud place Aerith on the bed deciding to wait downstairs while she change, Aerith went and pick her clothe for school. Dressing fast she brush and braided her hair and went downstairs quickly.

Her mother was chatting with Cloud happily when she came in. As they both notice her come in they smile at her. Elmyra place a warm batch of pancakes in front of her.

"Eat up fast dear or you and Cloud will be late for school." Elmyra told her.

She did what she was told and started to eat.

Cloud had park at the usual spot when they arrived at school. He pick Aerith from Fenrir and place her down gently but he still held her as he look at her deep in the eyes and ask,

"Do you really want to do this…like this?"

She smile and nodded, "Yes of course, after all it took Tifa and Yuffie a lot of time to compose this little stun of theirs." She said cheeky grin.

"What about us!" Said a loud voice from behind them. "We help too!"

Both Reno and Zack were carrying wires around there shoulders while behind them was Vincent with Squall each with two big speakers in there arms.

"Quit winning Reno we need to get this stuff to the cafeteria pronto so move it!" Said an annoyed Yuffie as she appear form behind the two way bigger then her males and push them away toward the school.

Tifa was behind them and gave tired sigh. She stop in front of Cloud and Aerith who were looking a little bewilder to say the least at the scene in front of them.

"Sorry about that. Yuffie has been in a rampage with those two for a while so please don't worry about it, is natural." Tifa assure them and smile.

They just nodded as they follow their friends toward the cafeteria both had been a sine to carry some boxes with plugs and stuff for the speakers they were going to use for their little show since Yuffie told them they had to help too.

"Reno that dose not go there! And Zack if you keep mangling the wires like that your going to bust them!" Yuffie yell at the two boys.

"Get off my case woman!" Reno snap.

"Then do your job right and I may get off you case you dolt!" She snap back.

"Maybe telling your friends about the plan wasn't such a good idea." Aerith said to Cloud stun and tad bit embarrass at the scene in front of them.

Cloud just nodded equally stun and embarrass. When Yuffie and Tifa had explain the plan to them Cloud knew they couldn't pull it alone so he decided to ask his friends for help. They had agree of course, Reno and Zack had plan to make a party before the day of the show to celebrate Cloud finally getting himself a girlfriend but of course Cloud had explicitly refuse the offer.

Finally after bickering and a few bruise joints every thing was set, all they needed to do now was wait till lunch time to get this show done.

"Hey you kids! What is all this?" And annoyed lunch lady had ask them.

"I-it's a show for the lunch hour Mrs. Shera. W-we even have a permission slip from the principle, see." Yuffie said handing her a paper with the signature of the principle on it.

"Hmp, very well. Just be shore to clean this mess when your done." She order and walk away from them. They all sighed with relief.

"Good thing you made that fake permission slip Yuffie or we would be in big trouble." Tifa said.

"How did you learn to that anyway?" Reno ask her.

"Well after being in the principle's office as much as I been you learn to copy his signature after having see him sine so many detention slips." She answer nonchalance.

"No, that's not what I meant, I meant how did you learn to acts so innocent when your obviously the devil incarnat-Ouch!" Reno was cut of by a punch in the ribs by little Yuffie who was getting piste off at his words.

Okay back to plan it was finally time and the cafeteria was pack with all the students.

'Looks like nobody miss school today.' Aerith thought getting a little nervous.

"Its going to be okay Aerith is just a little declaration its not like they are going to jump on you or something." Tifa tried to reassure her and miss by a mile at the last part.

Aerith gulp but knew she was doing this for Cloud, for her, for them.

She took a deep breath as it was finally time. Tifa and Aerith saw Zack approach the microphone in the middle of the cafeteria they had set up and he grin at them as some of the student in the cafeteria started to stare at him with curiosity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls today our AVALANCHE leader and my best friend has a declaration to make to a very special girl." He a nouns over doing it a little but it got their attention.

All students started to murmured wondering who the girl might be and if Cloud was going to ask her to be his girl or something. All the girls started to squeal and giggle at the site of Cloud as he headed to microphone to make his declaration.

Aerith stare at him her breath was caught in her throat. He look so handsome, like he always did in her eyes. His spiky blond hair sway slightly as he move, his body lean and muscular move so swiftly and gracefully like a wolf set on the prowl and of course his glowing sapphire eyes the same ones that had capture her from the first day she came here. They glowed even brighter today and she wonder if he was as exited an nervous as she was.

Zack pass Cloud the mike grinning at him and slapping him on the back for encouragement. Cloud tumble slightly forward at the overdose in force his friend gave in the slap but her recover and stood strait. He search the crowd of students in front of him for a pear of sparkling green eyes and smile when he found those eyes staring strait back at him.

"Ladies and gentleman today I would like to a nouns that I'm in love," He was cut of by all the girls in the cafeteria squeals and giggles again. He sighed but continued. "She is the most wonderful and most beautiful girl I ever met…" He took a deep breath and look strait at Aerith. "Aerith, would you be my girl?" He finally ask as he extended his hand in her direction.

They all turn to Aerith who was waiting in the crowed for the declaration just like Tifa and Yuffie had plan. Aerith took a deep breath and walk toward Cloud trying to ignore all the attention thrown toward her. She took Cloud extended hand and look up at him. His sapphire eyes glow and a spark was seen in their depths hypnotizing her making her forget that they were in a cafeteria surrounded by people. She got lost in his eyes for a moment before Zack clear his throat snapping her out of her daze. Blushing furiously she look up at Cloud one more time and nodded.

"Y-yes, I would like to be your girlfriend." She finally said out loud.

Cloud smile and pull her into his arms and kiss her on the lips passionately making her forget again that they we're not alone but oh well. Every body in the lunch room cheer but they were a few groans of disappointment in the room both male and female.

Yuffie, Tifa and the AVALACHE group watch the new and official couple embrace.

"You think we should separate them now?" Yuffie ask.

"Nah, give them a moment." Zack told her.

"Okay but if it turns into a R rated show is not my fault. Ow!"

Tifa was really getting a habit on hitting some sense into Yuffie. Mean while behind the cheering crowed a not so cheering person stood glaring daggers at girl in Cloud's arms.

"Your not getting him you street rat, his mine." The person hiss and walk away.

Yikes scary, now who could that be? You better guess for the next chapter…though maybe the chapter after that one because next chapter is going to be a very steamy Cleris so you been warn see ya in the next chapter.
