What is going on here? I don't understand this. Why am I here? Right now.
Tifa? I don't understand.
Cloud moves his head back. "I don't understand." Why? "Why are you kissing me?"
Tifa's eyes express the emotions that must be going through her entire soul. "I just wanted to." I love you. "Its something I think that was just supposed to happen.
Cloud nervously falls on his back. Lifting himself with his arms, he looks at Tifa. Why is she looking at me like that? What does this all mean? "Tifa, I don't understand this. I mean I used to."
Tifa puts a finger on his mouth. She is now sitting down next to him. "Don't ruin it for me." Her heart is about to blow up. Her blood is flowing all over her body, warmth emanates from inside out. "Cloud, I had a crush on you when we were kids. I never admitted it to you because of my friends. No one liked you. I didn't understand why, but I didn't help to change that."
"Tifa I used to have a crush on you too, but what does that have to do with anything?"
I know you liked me Cloud. I remember. We were in the lifestream. I couldn't tell you what happened when you were in mako shock. You would've have distanced yourself. I couldn't lose you. I stood by you because I loved you, I love you more than you'll ever believe. Even more than I thought, I didn't know how much I was into you. "Everything Cloud, its just one of those things. Don't question it. Would you rather live your life not ever kissing your old crush?" I wouldn't.
"I don't know. I guess not, but your Tifa, my best friend. I just kissed my best friend."
"I kissed first Cloud." She thought and then added. "Twice!" Smiling, she runs her hand through her beautiful hair.
But I kissed back, I did. I did kiss her back. "I kissed you back."
"Yea, you did." Rather well too. "Cloud, does it bother you that we kissed?"
"Yea, no wait, it doesn't, but it just bothers me, but not in that way. I'll just shut up." He smiles to her. He is finally showing some kind of emotion besides confusion. "So what does this mean?"
She pondered what she might answer. Finally she thought of the perfect answer. She still hasn't told him she is in love with him. "Nothing at all. Two friends that have known each other all their lives, end up living together, and well they kissed. Now they know how it feels to kiss the other." It feels great!
"Don't forget to add saving the world." Cloud replies. "Well I just have one more question." Tifa jumped on top of him giving him the warmest hug he has ever felt in his entire life. Cloud didn't even bother asking the question. She already knew.
Tifa and Cloud start kissing in each others embrace.
Cloud and Tifa, stayed awake the whole night. They are about everything. Whether it was about old memories, or even cheese, they spoke to each other. Both of them didn't know what to do, so they stayed awake talking.
"Cloud? Who did you play with, or what did you play with. I mean nobody wanted to be friends with you."
"I never did do anything to receive that treatment you know." Cloud replied defensively
"I know Cloud, it was my fault. To my friends you weren't good enough. I'm sorry Cloud. I should have said something to them."
"Whatever, I guess that's over with already."
"Lets just drop that." Tifa regrets asking the question. A question begins nagging at her mind. Should I ask?
"What's wrong?" Cloud asks Tifa.
"Nothing, Cloud do you like me?"
"Huh!?" The question caught him off guard. Worst of all he doesn't know how to answer it.
"You don't have to answer if you don't want to Cloud." She looks at him with her eyes.
They remained quiet for a while.
"I guess. I'm not sure." Cloud speaks up
"You guess? So that means?"
"I don't know, it means I guess." He gazes his blue eyes on her. "The kiss really hit something."
"Well three kisses, and a long kiss." Her cheeks start to turn red.
"Yea, well they hit something, I don't know. Why do you always put me in the spot?" He decides not to let her answer, before she does it again. "I guess I really liked the kissing."
"So did I" She smiles to him. "Lets go to bed. We have only a few hours till we leave Junon."
"Yea."
They go to the bedroom, and Cloud lies down under his covers. Tifa remained standing for a second. A little unsure she walks to his bed. She looks at Cloud facing the other way. Her right hand nervously grabs the covers, and picks them up. Slowly she slides into bed next to him.
"Huh?" Cloud turns around in his bed only to see Tifa's red eyes one inch away from his.
She smiles and lays her head on the pillow. He does the same. They continued looking into each others eyes.
I still can't believe I kissed Tifa, or she kissed me. Either way I kissed back. What do I say from now on? Wait! She's lying down next to me. She's so pretty. Her eyes are closed and she just looks so peaceful. Cloud do you believe this. You and your best friend kissed. I've known her since I can remember, and here she is. Tifa is lying down next to me, on the same bed. So what does this mean? What do I do? Why is she lying down next me. Are we closer friends now? I don't know. I like this.
He laughs to himself very quietly. His arm somehow made its way around Tifa. Cloud is holding on to Tifa.
The world can end and it wouldn't matter to me. I'm happy here. Right here, right now. I don't want to be nowhere else. Cloud thank you for holding me. It's not like the world hasn't almost ended, but at least if it would, I'm right were I want to be. I love you Cloud
Cloud moves his head back. "I don't understand." Why? "Why are you kissing me?"
