A/N: This takes place after Cloud's fight with Sephiroth (I'll just assume that he beat him). This is the first Cloud/Tifa one-shot I've ever written, so please be gentle.

Thanks: UltraWonderBoy, caitlinkeitorin and Shattered Glass Memories, who requested a CloudxTifa one-shot. Here you are! ;)


5. Pure

Cloud could feel it in the Light she had given him. Her light...it was now his as well. It was warm and pure. Aerith's Light was nothing compared to what Tifa had given him; Hope.

"Tifa?"

The raven-haired woman turned her head to look at the ex-SOLDIER. She could see that Cloud had been brooding again. He took her hands in his, looking up at her. His overly blue eyes seemed to pierce through her soul.

"Thanks."

Tifa smiled. She could feel the deep meaning behind this one word. It was simple, but pure, and she liked it that way.


A/N: I couldn't come up with anything. *Sigh.* Next chapter is a Roxas/Xion one-shot. Review please?
