As Cloud and Lightning walked into a fancy resturant they look around and see the waiter come to them with a note pad and pencile in hand with a smile on his face
"welcome to seedy's and sons resturant how may I help you?"
"table for two please" Cloud says holding Light in his arms
"we're terribly sorry but but im afraid I have no tables avalible" says the waiter
"there has GOT to be another table!" Cloud protests
"whats going on out here?" says a man bout in his fifty's wearing a chef hat
"the two wanted a table for two but i have none avalible" the waiter explains
the chef looks at the two but stops when he see's Lightning
"WELL BLESS MY BUTCHERS KNIFE YOUR LIGHTNING how have you been my dear?" he says shaking her hand

"yes it was a LONG time ago and I just helped him out was all" Lightning says
"HELPED?! no my dear you SAVED my reasturant" the chef says "and well my dear I owe you one" the chef takes Lights hand
"sounds like your famouse" Cloud teases a little smiling
"we do have a table now availible for one tho sir" the waiter informs the chef"
"well why dont you take the table for one I'll see you at home honey" Cloud kisses Lightning's forehead and turns around to leave but Lightning grabs his hand
"Cloud please stay" Lightning pleaded looking a little sadden
"WAIT...Cloud?...as in THE CLOUD STRIFE that saved the world?" the chef asked amazed
"am I really that famouse?" Cloud asks Lightning
"MY BOY YOU ARE FAMOUSE so visiting Grandpulse for a while and sweet Lightning is showing you around eh?" the chef says
"Actually...Cloud is my fiance Mr Seedy...he left Midgar to stay and live with me and not only that he has became a C.G.C soldier but 1st CLASS SOLDIER" Lightning explains
"well then let me treat you both on all you both have achived" seedy says
"but sir all our tables are full but one at the moment and its for one person" the waiter says
"the'll have a SPECIAL treat on me wait here please and waiter come with me" Seedy grabs him and leave to the back room
"um that was a little wierd huh?" Lightning says
"yeah..." Cloud says looking down
as Lightning talks to Cloud for a second she see's he is in his own little world wondering whats on his mind she gave Cloud a small peck on the lips quickly snapping him out of his thoughts
"uh s-sorry I zoned out... where the old man at?" Cloud asks
"he setting up a suprise for us but didnt say what" Light explains
"oh I see..." Cloud says looking at Light
"ok the preperations are set please this way" Seedy says as Cloud and Lightning follows Seedy to a room upstairs and Speedy turns around
"ok both of you close your eyes and NO looking promise?" Seedy says
"we promise" Lightning says and Cloud just nodds his head
as Seedy takes and guieds them ahead of them he tells the waiter to open the door as a breeze came and hit Lightning and Clouds face then they heard a click that sounded like a lock or a lighter or something and all of a sudden they heard the door closed behind them and music
"ok you may open your eyes you to" Seedy says
as they open thier eyes they was amazed at what they saw
CLOUDS POV
I look at the sight infront of us we stood on a balcony with a table and chairs for two wit ha set of candles and lights streamed around the balcony as I see the lights from the candle light on the table shine on Lightning's face made her look more beautiful than normal
"table for two?" the waiter sat us at the table and gave us a menu to order from but all I can think bout was how I wanted to get back at Hope but seeing Lightning right now took my mind off it
LIGHTNING'S POV
I was so amazed at the sight as Cloud and I took our seats I seen Cloud staring at me
"are you ok Cloud?" I asked hoping he was ok
"y-yeah..im ok" Cloud responds with a faint blush
"whats on your mind?" I asked still curious
"I wanted to figure out why Hope did what he did...then after seeing this sight and the lights shinning of you made me happier knowing im with the most beautiful girl in the world" Cloud smiles making me blush extreamly much with his comploments
"I-I'm no that beautiful like Tifa or Serah" I said
"but you are beautiful Light to me" Cloud smiles
I look at Cloud blushing hard "th-thank you Cloud" as I see the waiter come in
"are you ready to order?" the waiter said as looking at us. "and your meals are free considerations from Mr Seedy and he said no acceptions to consider it a thank you"
"I'll take the alfredo and some tea" I say setting down the menu and crossing my legs and looking at Cloud
CLOUDS POV
as the waiter asked for our orders I was to lost in thought I look to see Lightnings eyes staring at me
"what?" I asked looking at her as I then see the waiter
"ready to order sir?" the waiter asks
"...i'm uh not hungry.." I say tho my stomach argued I see Lightning rolled her eyes picking up the menu again
"he'll take the lassangna with mazerella cheese and the french breadstick and with it his drink can be water" Light says as the waiter went to get our meal
"sorry Light im not hungry but my stomach says otherwise huh?" I tried joking
after a while we had our meals as Lightning is enjoying her meal i just twirl my fork in mine
"Cloud you need to eat something" Lightning sat her fork down "whats wrong? is it bout Hope again?" she asked I can tell she knew the answer its one reason I love her no matter how I try to keep my emotions to me she knows me
"yes...did I over exaderate?...he seemed so confident to ask you to try the training room but when I asked he got all pushy mostly after you said we was engagged" I say simply not meeting her gaze
"I think we'll figure it out ok?" she looked away I felt something was off
"whats wrong Light?" I asked as I felt she was not wanting to tell me something
"Cloud...can I tell you something?" she seemed nervouse
"anything" I said with a slight smile but she got me curiouse as to whats going on
"without you flipping out" she says firm
"yes I promise" I said knowing wasnt easy whatever was upsetting her
"before you found me at C.G.C...Hope found me...and asked me out...saying he loved me" she says looking down I felt like was she protecting Hope because she loves him? I had to ask
"Light...do you love Hope?" I ask
NORMAL POV
as Cloud asked Lightning if she still loved Hope..Lightning looked at Cloud seeing he wasnt joking on the question
"NO I dont he's smart but he was acting childish all the time" Light states
"so do you love him?" Cloud asks again
"no Cloud I only love you forever...do you doubt me?" she asks
"no I dont doubt you" Cloud smiles taking a bite of his meal
after their meal they thanked Seedy and left the resturant heading back to Clouds bike
"You wanna drive Light?" Cloud asked
"no I dont know how" Light says looking at it
"Its ok" Cloud and Lightning got on and drove home to Lighting's house as Lightning unlocked the door Cloud was locking down his bike before entering Lights house
"I'll sleep in the guest room ok?" Cloud stated
"ok...i'll be here...if you need something.." Light said feeling dissapointed going to her room
