Durnit! I'm not in the mood to tell everyone I do not own FF7!
Drabble Sixty-three: In which Cloud leaves.

Mature

Cloud stood at the door, watching his mother's eyes as they tried to desperately escape the words he was beginning to say.

"Mom...I'm going to go train under ShinRa." Lily shook her head quickly.

"Cloud, what are you talking about? You're only fifteen!"

"Mom, everyone else is doing the same thing."

"Cloud, you're not everyone else."

"That's the age they'd like to start training us mom!"

"Cloud...but you're so young." Lily tried to offer as the excuse once again and Cloud shook his head, giving his mother a frown.

"Mom...I want to do this. Not just because everyone else is doing it, but because...it's what I want to do..."

"Oh but why Cloud? I don't understand!"

"I...I can't..." Lily found herself crying and Cloud looked away, uncomfortable with the fact that he had made his own mother cry.

So he started to walk out.

"CLOUD! PLEASE DON'T! PLEASE!" His mother cried after him, and he found himself running to his planned meeting place, not walking in a casual cool like way.

He continued to run, even when Lily's piercing cries hit the winds.
