Chapter 5
It was late when Lighting and Cloud made it to her house. Lighting as kept an eye on Cloud all the way back mumbling to herself that she'll find a way to lecture her commander tho both was like family. but Lightning couldnt help but think to herself..' I wonder why he hasn't tried flirting with me like all guys do hell he hasnt said a word on the way here something's different bout this one' Lighting droped her keys and went to pick them us as Lighting grabed them so did Cloud at the same time as their hands touched they quickly pulled their hands away with a faint blush on thier faces. Lighting took her keys and unlocked the door and both entering the house.
"here we are Cloud" Lightning says turning on the lamp in her living room
Cloud takes and looks around but tries to avoid eye contact "I'm sorry that im stuck having to stay at your home...I mean its nice and all but I dont wanna be a problem" Cloud stated akwardly.
"its no problem at all Cloud tho its not like I had a choise now did I? The commander did order you to stay at my house" Lighting stated with a slight smirk
"well uh..thanks Lightning" Cloud smiles a lil as Lighting took a step twords the closet in the living room so she could help get Cloud blankets for the night but she tripped and landed in Clouds arms.
"are you ok Light?" Cloud says with eyes full of concern
"y-yes th-thank you Cloud" Lighting says staring at Cloud eyes both of them slightly blushing
"LIGHTNING YOUR HOME" a girl with rose pink hair just like lighting's come around the corners with a white shirt and a pink skirt she was almost a close look alike to lighting
"SERAH!" Lighting jumps out of Clouds arms with a flushed face
"uh...who's this guy Light?" the girl known as serah asked looking from Cloud to Lighting back and forth lost on the situation
"uh who are you?" Cloud asked a little lost himself
"C-Cloud this is Serah my sister and Serah this is.." Lighting tries to explain but Cloud cut her off seeing as embarased as she was tho back at the N.O.R.A house she wasnt the type to be embarassed or shy even for a top SOLDIER of C.G.C
"Cloud..Cloud Strife im your sisters.." Cloud gets cut off as Snow came out of Serahs room
"Whoa Lighting got herself a boyfriend" Snow started chuckling as he gets a glare from his fiance' Serah
"SNOW show Lighting some support i'm glad she met someone" Serah says with a bright smile
"W-we're not t-together Serah" Lighting looks away at the thought of her sister thinking she was dating "he's my partner in my next mission he came from Midgar to stop the Threat that is on my next mission"
"Whoa thats a hell of a trip so light said you can stay here with her damn dude you musta touched her heart" Snow chuckles as Lighting came and punched Snow to the ground as she shocked both Serah and Cloud standing awstruct on what just happened
"is he going to be alright?" Cloud asks looking at Lighting and Snow arguing while Snow is holding his jaw
"yes he will be he's had worse hits from Lighting its nice to meet you Cloud" Serah shakes Clouds hand
"its a pleasure to meet you as well Serah" Cloud shook her hand "so I was wondering who the guy is that Lighting is punching over and over right now?" looking at the man on the ground
"Thats my fiance Snow Villiers...Lighting see's he really loves me but she still so motherly at times" Serah giggles and looks at the two and then looks at Cloud..."Cloud? can I ask you something?" she looks at Clouds emotionless face
"hmm?" Cloud stares at the scene but remembers that this was Lightings sister he should at least try to talk to her "sure go ahead" Cloud says looking at her
"Would you come to my wedding tommarow..Lighting isnt a fan of parties but I asked her to be my maid of honor but would mean alot to me if I knew she had a date to go with ...she isnt one to ask ANY guy out and the ones who DO ask her out gets punched in the gut and she walks away...would you PLEASE except?" Serah asks with pleading eyes and a bright smile
"uh are you sure thats even a good idea? I mean she turned All guys down from what you said and she isnt one for a date even if its for your big day...and if she does that to Snow think what she'll do to me" looking back at Snow and Lighting arguing again staring at them emotionless.
"She wont hurt you when she was in your arms she was ok till I came in ...trust me ok Cloud?" Serah says with a smile
Cloud couldnt help but smile just a little bit and thinking to himself...'this girl Serah reminds me so much of Marleen with her exited energy' "If thats what you want ...ok ...But you tell your sister this little set up you just did and tell her all this ...deal?" Cloud says looking at Serah's eyes
"DEAL!" Serah squeals quietly "and dont worry ok"
