Prompt: Home. Written for Past Prompts week.
Cloud doesn't remember when 'home' stopped being Nibelheim. It might have been when Zack first called him 'friend'. Maybe it was when he finally impressed his sergeant with his marksmanship and the other regulars respected him just a bit. Perhaps it was the first time he thought 'I could never get this back at Nibelheim' rather than 'this is different from home.'
Or maybe it was when ShinRa rebuilt the town and pretended everything he had gone through never existed.
All he knows is that his childhood home is gone; he's not sure who destroyed it: Sephiroth, ShinRa – or himself.
