He loved her. Every inch of her. From her head to her toes, inside out as well as her soul. He couldn't describe it in words; he could only feel it and understand it and cherish every inch of it. Was love meant to be an emotion that left you clueless and happily dazed? Was it when your heart skipped a few beatsyou're your face flushed each time you caught a glimpse of your lover? Did love make you smile at moments where you usually wouldn't be smiling?

He felt all of that. He was in a drunken state, a state where he was drunk from the overdose of love. He simply had too much of it, but it didn't matter. He would overdose on love for the feeling of it was simply explicit. It wasn't just beautiful, nor was it perfect. Love was simply right there in each individuals heart waiting for the right moment to unlock itself and show it to the world. Love was the innocence and the evil in ones heart.

And in all of that dwelling of the meaning of love, somewhere in the upper room to the right of the house were two adults happily laughing together.

"You know they are going to wonder what took us so long," Tifa grumbled as she sat down on the bed.

He nodded, and wore on his shirt before laying a hand before her. "Shall we," he smiled.

"Yes we shall, there's probably no breakfast left," she muttered as she was pulled up by her lover.

He pulled her close, "Oh I'm sure we can whip something up in a dash," he smiled.

She smiled warmly and stared at him for a moment. In this few weeks Cloud had changed. His new found personality was beginning to make her love him even more.

"Everything okay?" he asked, his blue eyes searching through hers for an answer.

She blinked a few times and nodded, "You know," she paused, "You've changed."

"Changed.. as in a good change or.."

"A good change," she smiled. "You're not that quiet and formal anymore, I like the new you," she laid a hand on his firm chest.

He smiled seductively, "Formal huh.."

"Well formal wasn't the correct word, I meant more of shy or neat and orderly kind of thing," she explained.

He nodded and listened as she continued explaining.

"You've changed in many ways Cloud, I mean, you weren't exactly like.." she stopped and looked away, "Nah.. It's okay, nevermind.." she turned to the door.

He caught her arm and pulled her back to his chest, "Tell me.."

She looked away from his eyes and down to his chest, "A few weeks ago I wondered if you would ever be more than just the quiet Cloud, I never thought that you could be like this.." she punctuated with her hand, "I love it Cloud, I love to see you laugh and smile," she looked up into his blue eyes.

He nodded, "Uh huh.." he pulled her closer. "I think.." he looked down at her hands on his chest, "I think that if I changed in this past few weeks, I have changed because of you," he glanced at her eyes a few times as he explained. "I love you Tifa, and I know I've changed, I can feel it. For one, I have never felt this comfortable around anyone in my entire life, not even Aeris.. But you.." he looked at her.

"You make me want to be me," he continued. "I feel that I could trust you with my entire life and I want nothing more than to be with you until it's time for me to go.."

"You're not going anywhere mister," she tapped his chest. "You make sure you ask Aeris for another chance, cause no way are you leaving me down here alone.."

He laughed, "You know that I'll be watching you from above," he said.

She rolled her eyes and looked to him, "I'll be with you Cloud, wherever you go, I will always be here," she touched his chest where his heart lay.

He encircled her hands in his and brought it to his lips. "The shower was amazing, and last night was amazing too.." he smiled.

"I know," she nodded, "I love it too.."

"And I love you."

Was it possible to say three words and to mean every single word? How was it that the word I, Love and You could tell a person just everything they needed to know?

Meanwhile downstairs

"Marlene, I think it's time daddy better head off," Barret stood up from the lounge and gathered together his stuff.

"Aww but daddy, Cloud and Tifa haven't come down yet.." the girl whined.

Yuffie nodded, "If I were you I wouldn't trust them with the world right this moment," she replied quietly.

Barret spun around, "What?" he choked.

She grinned, "I heard from my sources that the two were seen heading into the bathroom earlier."

His eyes widen, "Really?"

She nodded, "Yup.." she smirked, "Together."

"Together what?" Tifa entered the living room, her eyes interchanging between Barret and Yuffie. The expressions they held were priceless. She knew very well what they were talking about but decided to play dumb.

"Uh.. nothing," Yuffie smiled.

Cloud came up behind her and touched her shoulder, "Morning."

"Cloud!" Marlene exclaimed happily and ran to him.

Barret smiled, "Well, I guess since I've seen you two, I should make me move. We got to have this reunion again, maybe down the track when.." cough "you have some kids" cough..

"Excuse me?" Tifa blushed.

Cloud choked several times.

Cid came waltzing into the room in his normal drunken state. "I thinks its 'bout time me lefts too guys," he smiled.

"Yeah," Yuffie stood up, "I think, some family time is needed in this house now…"
