"I hope to see more of you." Rufus gave a polite chuckle and a chaste kiss on her hand, attempting to drawl a blush, to which he graciously received. Tifa was bubbling with nervousness as she stared the devil in the eyes. It was amazing that eyes so emotionless could exist. Tifa bowed her head and Rufus nodded and walked on, biting her check to keep from blurting anything out.
Rufus stepped in front of Cloud. They shook hands roughly never once taking their ice blue eyes off each other. Rufus then turned to leave. Without turning around he motioned for Cloud to follow. Cloud looked as if he was deep in thought, a conflict raging within his cerulean eyes. And began to walk.
~*~
Tifa was escorted into Cloud's tent by one of Rufus's guards. It had long begun to rain outside, and she was getting hesitant whether or not Cloud would return. Naomi was staying in Rufus's tent, and Tifa was left in the dark and realization finally began to sink in again. She was here alone as punishment for her dad's crimes. Not to, to.She curled into a ball and hugged a pillow close to her chest. She inhaled deeply thoroughly enjoying how it smelt of Cloud's masculine but gentle smell. She trailed a finger down the side of the pillow. She closed her eyes and relished in the thought of how his hot skin would feel against hers. Her hand trailing down his muscles as they contracted with each feathery touch. A flash of lightning allotted the sky and like a rush of cold water she snapped back to reality. She lazily opened her hazy eyes not wanting the images of Cloud to go away. But there stood Cloud.
His hair was matted with the rain, and his clothes stuck dangerously close to his body. His eyes held dangerous lust but with a tinge of sadness showing shamefully through. She felt her heart skip a beat and for a second panicked a little. She let out a painful smile.
'How many times have you smiled for the sake of others not yourself.' Cloud used his inhuman speed and pinned Tifa to the ground.
'The crater, Sephiroth, Aeris. Tifa.'
He remembered. Except his time he wouldn't let her get away. He finally gained some guts to do things that went unsaid and undone tonight. He knew Tifa had the answers.
"I spent three days having their fantasies." He hissed in her ears. She stared at him with wide frightened eyes. "But I've been informed you've been having them all you life." She could almost see his eyes change from lustful cerulean to dangerous sharp green eyes. She made a move to sit back up. Cloud pinned down Tifa's wrist harder, and held her down with his body weight.
'He doesn't know!' Tifa bit back tears.
"You're hurting me!" She yelled angrily. What right did he have to prance into her life? She spent 10 years getting over him; she didn't need him to stir up feelings from the past. A past she didn't even want to be apart of. Cloud loosened his grip but still held her firm so she couldn't move.
"Who are you to me." Tifa froze. His icy words bit through her hearts. She tried to hide any emotions her eyes might give off.
'You should know you ass.'
"Let go of me." Cloud looked taken aback for a second when he noticed the change in her usual spunky mask.
"Hey Cloud?" Naomi's honey voice drifted in the room, and eyed them in their current awkward situation. Leave it to Rufus to come in and break the tension.
"You know, it usually works better with the clothes off." Rufus smirked. Tifa felt her cheeks go hot. Cloud rolled over off Tifa and stood up and brushed himself off.
"Whatever." He waved it off. Naomi glared at Tifa.
"Anyway, Aeris decided to give her tent up to me and will be staying with a SOLDIER she knew for awhile so she'll be alright. Naomi and me have some catching up to do so that leaves you to sharing Cloud's tent. That alright?" Tifa was staring off to a corner her expression blank. Cloud shrugged.
"G'night." Rufus winked at Tifa and left the tent with a weary eyed Naomi. There was only one bed since Cloud and Naomi slept together. Cloud walked over to the bed and took a pillow and a spare blanket from the bed and laid them one the floor. He went to a chest in front of the bed and took out fresh pillows and blankets. Without making eye contact he said. "You can sleep on the bed."
"Are you sure you don't mind?" Tifa felt slightly guilty at the fact that she was the one being a nuisance in his life
"Do u wanna sleep with me?" Cloud asked with a smirk.
'What did you expect him to say?'
Looking at the fuming Tifa, he grinned.
"Besides, I saw the way you were drooling all over my pillow." Getting the point and feeling embarrassed mid you, she climbed into bed, making sure that she didn't look like she was enjoying the safety she felt whenever she was around her Cloud. I mean Cloud.
Cloud feeling something sticky all over his body, remembered the fact that he was soaking wet. He went to the chest and took out a boxer. Then he gently shrugged off his Shinra uniform so that only his boxers clung onto his well-toned body was left. Tifa heard some rustling and opened her eyes.
'Wait, he's not seriously gonna! Yep, he would.'
Cloud looked over his shoulder and noticed a slightly dazed Tifa staring at him. "What? Do you want me to do a little dance while I take off my clothes?"
Tifa rubbed her eyes dramatically then yawned and fell back into the pillows. He loved getting her into these awkward situations. When she saw the lights blow out, she dug herself out from under the covers and resurfaced. She stared at the ceiling for a while. She listened to Cloud's steady breathing. Maybe he fell asleep already. But then she remembered something didn't make sense.
"Why would he let his fiancé stay in his brothers room?" she contemplated, unacknowledged that she whispered it aloud. She mentally slapped herself, rolled over and with one last sigh closed her eyes.
Cloud lifted one eye open. Then he looked through the thin walls of the tent and he saw shadows of leaves blow across the silhouette of the tent.
'Why don't I really not care anymore?' He turned to look up onto the bed, only to be greeted with Tifa's back.
'Does she really have no feelings for me? I love Naomi. She was all I had, and she stuck by me. At least Tifa's not in Rufus's tent.' Cloud added gingerly.
'WHT! Why do I care if Tifa and Rufus hooked up. Naomi is perfect for me. She's beautiful and stuck by me through thick and thin and nothings going to change that.' Cloud closed his eyes in frustration and let sleep overcome him. He knew no matter how much he tried to convince himself; the more he wanted to break the wedding off. ~*~ Fourteen-year-old Cloud turned his back to all the snickering. He didn't need this right now. Even thought the Midgar city streets were below freezing, he couldn't help but feel his checks grow red with remembrance at what the other SOLDIERS commented on earlier. "Ya, Cynthia's great." Kevin finished. He looked at Cloud. "Hey Cloud! What do you think?" All the boys turned to look at Cloud. They looked at one another and laughed beneath their breaths, only to encourage Kevin more. "What? You don't wanna answer me, or are you hiding something?" Reno started to join in on this. "Cut it out Kevin. You know Cloud's not like that. I think men are more his style." Cloud looked up from the stale bread he was eating that the SOLDIERS would get every morning for breakfast. "Like his old man would waste time getting him a hoe. I mean, why do you think he gave Rufus the high life and left Cloud out in the slums?" Cloud got up and was about to start something when he looked at Aerith. She just entered the room and apparently heard what was going on because she had a scowl on her face. She turned and put on a smile for Cloud. Cloud looked away feeling ashamed that she had heard that he was 14 and still hadn't gotten laid. 'She must rather have an older guy with more expierence.' Cloud sourly thought as he got up to go outside. As he was about to leave he felt a delicate but comforting hand on his shoulder. He turned around and looked at a smiling Aerith. "Don't forget your coat!" she said to him grinning. He coughed to cover up his blush and quickly grabbed the coat and slammed the door, later chasting himself that she must think that he now holds a grudge against her or something.
He closed his eyes and began walking a little faster. He suddenly ran into something soft. "Sorry." He said out under his breath. He bent down to help the thing he'd bumped into. "It's alright!" His eyes widened as he saw her. She was one of the most astonishing girl/women he's ever seen. He quickly let that pass." You know, it's pretty dangerous for a girl to be out on the streets alone. She looked around pretending to be confused. "Who me? I can take care of myself." She smiled. But it is cold. You mind if I follow you?" Cloud's heart began to thump in his chest. 'Does she mean follow me home?' She waved a hand in front of his face. Cloud smiled. Little did he know that tonight would be the turning point that he became one of the world's most renowned playboy. ~*~ Cloud awoke with something blinding in his eyes. Cloud tried to shake off the feeling of disorientation. He looked up and saw Rufus grabbing a struggling Tifa. His eyes burned green.
