My Cloud

Chapter 3:Well…Well…Well

Moon was starting to show brightly and more and more stars were starting to appear in the dark ebon night. Cloud was lying on his bed thinking of his childhood friend

I just met her to today again and I can't stop thinking of her. Talk about obsessed…wait I'm not obsessed, it's just that I missed her Cloud mentally scolded himself...Aah.Her smiles, heer beautiful eyes,I can't get it out of my head .

The feeling I felt a while ago when she was on my back,when she was near me, was like paradise, she was so …fragrant, she smelled so fresh. Every time she giggles I feel a strange tingly sensation running down my spine. Her skin, God how could I explain the feeling when I touch her. Her raven hair,everytime the wind blew it brush through my face. Everything, everything about her was so ideal, perfect.

Time flew away as Cloud was lying on his bed thinking of Tifa. Why don't I pay a visit…or maybe not, I was just with her 2hours ago…2 HOURS! I've been thinking of Tifa for 2 hours?. Not that I'm complaining but this has got to stop…well they did say that you stop yearning for something once you get it, so what they hey…

Cloud quickly got up and put on his shoes and proceeded down stairs

"Cloud where are you going?" his mother,who was sitting at their red velvet couch, asked (his mother's Lucrecia by the way) as he was going down the stairs

"Nowhere" Cloud said quickly pulling the door, making his way out

"Kids these days" Lucrecia said to herself while continuing to sew embroideries to something which looked like a mat

"I won't be too late, don't worry mom!" Lucrecia heard his son's voice from the outside

He strode in the lighted streets of Nibelheim, his eyes occasionally glanced at the stars as the shining balls of light reminded him of the spark on Tifa's eyes, actually every single thing reminded him of Tifa. It was a feeling beyond explanation, Cloud knew how it was wrong to be thinking of her like this, since they've just met again about 10 hours ago,but he couldn't help it. Who may possibly help it, Tifa Lockheart was by far the most beautiful girl in Nibelheim (at least to Cloud's eyes).

Not before long he was in front of the Lockheart residence. It was not a big house, only slightly bigger than his. There was a fence. On the left side there was a swing and a beautiful garden on the other side. I front of him was a stoned path which lead to a small porch, which was illuminated by two light bulbs. He made his way in and rang the doorbell

"SORA COULD YOU GET THAT" That's definitely Mr. Lockheart Cloud thought to himself after hearing a familiar voice. He heard stomps before the door was opened

"Yes?" a boy about the age of twelve said to him with a huge yawn. He recognized him, he was Tifa's sibling, he had spiky hair and blue eyes, kind of like his

"Sora?"

"Yea, hey how'd you know me" he blinked

"Uhh…well I just do. So is Tifa home?"

"Not another one" Sora rolled his eyes

"Huh?"

"Dude, we just moved in, give my sister a break"

"What do you mean?"

"Your here to court her right?" the boy said, crossing his arms

"No, no nothing like that" Cloud said while waving his hands in front and then scratching the back of his head

"Cool, I guess you're not like the other 37 guys"

"So where is she?"

"Umm she left a few minutes ago" Sora informed pointing at the direction where his sister has gone

"Okay.." Cloud turned back and started walking, he new exactly where Tifa was headed. Then suddenly he turned back to Sora, with a quizzical look. The 12 year was still standing in the front porch. Leaning at the side of the door with his lips pursed "thir-ty-se-ven!" he said, twitching his eyes while walking back to his friend's sibling

"Aha, she never really "entertained" any of them and don't worry you're the best looking on yet… and she keeps mentioning this guy in here diary"

"What about him?" Sora raised his hand out sort of signaling for pay "You want money?" Cloud said raising his eyebrows

"Dude, it's not easy spying on her like that"

"Okay" Cloud, reached down to his pocket and handed a dollar "so…"

"Okay, something about this guy…she mentioned he was her bestfriend or something and the kid said he'll marry her someday...anyway that was when they were children I bet she didn't take it seriously…and besides she wrote that ages ago,you still have a chance" Cloud couldn't help but smile he knew that that guy was him Hell yea! I have a chance that kid was me!

"Thanks man'" Cloud said patting Sora's head. Sora was obviously annoyed and started fixing his "spike" "And kid, if you want to put your hair up like that, don't apply the gel when your hair is still drenched, wait until it dries, see look at mine, it doesn't look all glued up into one big chunk" Cloud informed pointing at his "spikes", Sora just gave out a 'tse'. The teenager started walking in the same direction where his childhood friend had gone, obviously his mood changed from happy to very happy

Cloud's POV (and flashback):

I remember when we were little we used to play princess and knights, down the hill, near the old well. We would use the cardboards to make castles and then I would pretend to be her savior, we'd spend sunny day. Then one day, while I was fixing the cart we used as a carousel, she, out of nowhere she started crying and shouting at me like a crazy mad man on crack

"I don't like you anymore, you're never going to marry me anyway" she shouted, with tears falling from her eyes

haha ridiculous Tifa

"Yea, you're darn right! You're going grow old and ugly and no one not even I will marry you!" I said back,sticking my tongue. I was about to speak again but then she ran away.At that time I decided not to follow her, who was she anyway to holler at me lik that!

Later that evening I couldn't stop thinking of what I did to her,a pang of guilt was running through my mind. So I went to their house, she wouldn't open the door so I had to climb up the window, it was really hard though, but I'd do anything in those moments just to make sure she was alright

"Hey Tifa"I yelled as I jumped in her window. I saw her there she was lying on her bed, crying in her pink pillow. Her ponytail was now messed up, she was still crying, here eyes were very sore. I went near her "Hey Teef don't cry, was kidding, I'll marry you someday" I wasn't really serious about that, even she wasn't…I think…WE WERE TEN…we didn't even understand what marriage was yet

Coud finally reached his destination, the well, he knew Tifa would be there, he walked to the center of the hill and saw a figure sitting in the wall of the well (A/N: I don't know what it's called)Tifa Lockheart was there, sitting looking up at the stars, those wine colored orbs were full of amusement as she watched the beautiful shining figures. Cloud couldn't help but melt

"Hey" Tifa said, still looking up at the stars. She sensed Cloud's presence, eversince they were little she always new if her childhood friend was there. Tifa ad Cloud always had this "bond"

"Mind if I sit down" Cloud took his sit beside her

"What can I do, you're already sitting?" Tifa said with a laugh "how'd you know I was here"

"Lucky guess..haha…you always come here, we always come here. Tifa just turned to Cloud and gave a sweet smile

"So I went to your house and got to speak to Sora, he's grown up know huh?"

"Yea, he was just 6 the last time you saw him"

"He told me some stuff too" Cloud said scratching his nose

"WHAT!WHAT DID HE SAY!" the young lady said suddenly alarmed

"37 guys!" Cloud exclaimed with a chuckle

"Well yea…I guess you were incorrect about what you said before, and for your information I turned them all down" she said, she looked proud to say that she didn't give in to any one of them

"Because of me?"

"Yea right" she said sarcastically "What gave you that idea?"

"You do know that he reads your diary?" he informed as his eyebrow curved

"NO! IN FACT I DON'T KNOW THAT HE READ MY DIARY" she alleged, visibly she was surprised

"Whatever, ha-ha, you took that 'I'll-marry-you-someday- thing seriously?"

"I was 10,I wasn't serious! And I did not bring them down because of you! It was because those guys were jerks!" Tifa announced, here cheeks were flushed

"Okay calm down" he said holding on Tifa's shoulders, jokingly trying to calm her down

"And you were also wrong, I didn't grow ugly!" she said cupping her face with her hands and putting on her sweetest smile

"Yea, I was wrong about a lot of things" Cloud seriously said looking at the scar of Tifa's arm, and then tracing it with his fingers

"Hey, are you still troubled by that?" she looked at Cloud with concern running through her eyes

"That was the reason why you went away, right?" Cloud said noticeably feeling guilty

"Cloud, nobody wanted that bridge to break"

Flashback:

"I'm gonna cross that bridge okay? And if I fall you're going to catch me right?" a young girl said

"Yea" said the spiky haired boy

"Okay" Tifa walked cautiously and steadily then suddenly the bridge snapped

"AAAAAAAAH!"

End of flashback

"But I promised you, I told you I would be you're hero" Cloud said looking down on his feet. The wind blew, silence filled the place

Tifa stood up, Cloud just looked at her , she put on a optimistic tone "Hey, doesn't mean you didn't come go and rescue me doesn't mean you weren't brave, Cloud, sometimes the bravest people aren't those who come save the day. And I also believe that it's wrong that people say fearless guys are those who are courageous, I mean what's so brave about facing things your not scared of? And I appreciate how you called for help, eventhough you were afraid of getting scolded or eventhough you were afraid of what would happen next" Cloud didn't answer, Tifa turned to him and bent down, now they were face to face, she curved her lips and pointed her finger so that it was between his eyes "And besides I've decided that I don't like heroes anymore" Cloud just gave an empty stare, he felt paralyzed from hearing such words from Tifa Lockheart "You know why?" she went closer ,there was short silence, you could here the leaves rustle "…Because heroes always have their own princesses and I'm certainly not a princess" she grinned

Wow, still like before, always trying to cheer everyone up, her wise words and her advice

"You without a doubt look like one" Cloud "subconsciously" said

"What?" Tifa said standing back up

"Uh nothing" he said shaking his head to conceal his red cheeks

So the two teenagers spent hours "catching up" on themselves, under the stars where they in the well, the same place where their first promise was made. They talked about everything. The hours of darkness felt so perfect, nothing can be heard but their voices, her giggles.

Lockheart016:Sorry if it sucks..too fast again?. ..Was I over using the flashbacks? Was it too fluffy? Was it stupid to make Cloud think of her so much!
