Breaking His Shell

It had been a week since I've last seen Cloud Strife, a new Smasher here who likes to keep himself shut in his room, but today, that was all going to change. I was walking down the hallway towards his room before I heard someone call my name from behind me. I turned, my (h/l) (h/c) hair gently swaying behind me, to see the once exiled prince. "Hey Marth."

"Hello (f/n). Where are you headed?"

"I'm going to visit Cloud Strife."

"Cloud?"

"You know...the new Smasher who came a while back."

"...I think I remember. I think it's sweet of you to visit him."

"You think? Most of the Smashers think it's weird that I hang out with him." I fidgeted uncomfortably as I tried not to think about the promise we made, and I couldn't help but blush.

"Why's that?"

"I don't know. But I heard snickers while I was walking down the hallway."

"Well I don't think that matters. You're doing a very nice thing. Now go on. He must be waiting."

"You're right. Thanks Marth! And don't worry...you'll meet him later!" And after that conversation, I ran down the hallway to the SOLIDER's room.

I knocked on the door, not expecting a response, but was surprised to be greeted by the SOLIDER on my first set of knocks. "Hello (f/n)."

"Hey Cloud. Are you ready?" I asked, tucking a piece of (h/c) hair behing my ear.

"For what?" He asked, clearly forgetting what he had promised me earlier this week.

"You promised that you would meet my friends."

"...I did?"

"Yes. Don't you remember?"

"...Right. If I must, let's go."

"Yeah!" I cheered as I subconsciously grabbrd his hand and dragged him out the door. His face was flushed in a wave of light pink as we walked down the hallway, finally starting a casual conversation.

"So who are we meeting?" he asked, still avoiding looking at our interlocked hands.

"My friends Marth, Ike, Link, Pit, and Roy. Even though I have to warn you, Pit and Roy can get a little excited about meeting people." I laughed as we finally let go of each other's hands.

"If it's anything like you then I'm sure I'll live."

"Hey!" I cried in protest as I playfully shoved him, but he lost his footing anyway. He pretends to glare at me before he shoved me back, and this continued until we got outside.

Once outside, I looked around the vast field in hopes that the guys had actuslly decided to meet. I sighed in relief when I saw Marth turn towards me and smile from across the field. I grabbed his hand again before running down the field, eager to see the others.

"Hi guys!" I smiled, though Marth was the first to acknowledge me.

"Hello again." He looked up and nodded. "You must be Cloud. I'm Prince Marth," he said, introducing himself before introducing the other guys. "That guy is Ike. The one in green is Link. The angel is Pit. And the redhead is Roy."

"It's a pleasure. But do I have to say Prince-"

"That's not necessary," Marth and Roy replied simultaneously.

"We're all the same here." Roy finished before he both took a sest in the grass. I followed and plsced my (w/o/c) next to me, as did Cloud. Ike remained silent, but his eyes mirrored interest. I chuckled, causing Cloud to glance my direction.

"What?"

"I think someone wants an explanation on the huge hunk of metal you carry on your back," I laughed as Ike blushed and nudged me in my rib.

"I'm just interested (f/n)...not in love." We all laughed, including Cloud which made my hesrt flutter for some odd reason. He picked up his sword and placed it on his lap, careful to make sure that the edge didn't poke my thigh.

"This is the Buster Sword. It used to be my friend's and then he...gave it to me." He ran his hand over the smooth metal before he glanced up at me but then looked away.

"So what's your world like, Cloud?" Marth asked, noticing the awkward silence before mentalky face palming.

"...I guess you could say war. I used to be a solider. We fought angels, evil ones, and...I guess that's it."

"So not much different than ours..." Marth finished. I sighed aloud.

"Okay! Lighter topic! What's your favorite animal, Cloud?" He stared at me in disbelief before laughing at my underhanded tactic.

"Chocabos."

We continued our conversation and laughed until the sun went down. It was evening when we were done, and we had all decided to go inside. We all stood up, but I felt someome grab my wrist. I turned and saw that it was Cloud. "Um...do you have a minute?"

"Yeah. I'm sure the others won't mind."

"...I just wanted to thank you for today (f/n). You definitely broke me of my shell." His mako blue eyes locked with my (e/c) ones and I looked away and blushed. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing...you just have really pretty eyes." He blushed as well.

"Thanks...but I think you're even prettier."

"What-" Before I hsd a chance to say anything else, his lips smashed against mine, but it wasn't forceful. It was soft and nice. I closed my eyes and fell into the kiss as Cloud wrapped his arms around my waist.

He finally broke off and placed his thumb under my chin. "I love you (f/n)...More than anything in the world."

"And I love you too Cloud Strife."
