20 drabbles and I still have to say I do not own FF7!
Drabble twenty: In which Cloud finds a picture of his father.
Mature
Cloud was really young when he found the picture.
It was just one picture though, and it was only one frame and it held only his mother and father.
Cloud couldn't exactly remember why, but his mother hated having pictures taken. Proof of that was there were no pictures around the household.
Cloud would stare at the frame with a little sadness, but he would never show it.
The picture had his mother grinning foolishly and it was such a large smile, and his father...his father wasn't smiling.
Cloud had always wondered when the picture was taken, was it before his father joined the Wutai war, or was it after he received the news that he would have to go to the war?
Probably a little bit of both.
Cloud kept the picture beneath his bed because he didn't want his mother to find out he found the picture.
Cloud would often refer back to the photo, and sometimes he would even talk to it, slightly hoping his father would reply back, just to hear the man's voice once.
Really, it was all he had of the older man, Cloud hoped that he would at least meet him once.
Even if it might be just a grave to talk to.

Drabble 20, end! Whoo, serious drabble that is based off my silly stupid Wutai theory. Yay for that! Ahem, anyway, much thanks to macalaniaprincess (Hey! Good ideas! I shall use them!), Kajou Akimoto (Nope, that's the wonderful thing about drabbles, they don't have to be in an specific order!), KDA (Lucky, I would get sick from that), and Tolea (I never have soup either, even though it's been scientifically proven that soup makes you feel LOADS better).
