No ownage of FF7.
Drabble five: In which Cloud beats the crap out of kids who mock his mom (serious drabble).
Mature
Cloud stood as tall as he could, and yet he was still so short compared to the three boys he was determined to continue beat up.
Bruises surrounded the boy, breathing hurt him so badly, but he gave no whine and he did not move an inch.
"So, what did you call my mom?" Cloud demanded, his blonde hair very limp from the battle of hair pulling.
The three boys were on the ground, crying and covering their noses.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL MY MOM?" Cloud yelled at them again, raising his little fists at them again, yet getting them to start fearing those little fists caked in blood.
"We didn't call her anything!" One of them yelled, though it was hard to distinguish how he said it with a busted nose, tears still pouring from his eyes.
"That's right you didn't! Now scram!" Cloud growled and the boys yelled and crawled out of his sight.
It had started to rain.
Cloud took deep breaths, even as it hurt and exhausted him and he sat on the ground, taking slow deep breaths as his sides begged him not to.
"Cloud?" Cloud looked up to see his mother, a hard paper umbrella in her hand.
"Mom." Cloud stood up, it even hurt to move, and the bruises hurt so much. Yet he walked to his mother, the rain stopped covering him as soon as he reached his mother's side.
"Cloud, did you get in another fight?" Lily started, as though she was going to scorn the boy but that was when Cloud burst slowly in tears.
There would only be one time he would ever cry, and that was in front of his mother, no one else. Only his mother could understand why he cried, so he would not give anyone else the pleasure of seeing him this weak...
This helpless.
"I-I couldn't help it, t-they called you something...I-I didn't understand what it meant, but...I knew it was bad." Cloud clutched his mothers dress, blood smeared over the purple color.
Lily stared at her son and bent down, combing back part of Cloud's soaked hair with her hand, seeing the boy's misty blue tears made her forgive him quickly enough.
The umbrella was dropped.
"There, there Cloud, there, there. It's okay. Mommy's happy you defended her." Lily hugged her son and Cloud hugged her back, his tears stilling as he was in his mother's comfortable arms.
No one would evercall his mother a whore and get away with it.
Drabble 5, end! Yeah I know, why in the world did I make a serious one? I was in the mood for a little drama, so I had too...that and I wanted Cloud to beat the crap out of someone soon, so therefore, stupid boys. Anyway this time I like to thank KDA (sorry for the fluff, hehehe) and Cloudsound (Are they all really? I never knew).
