Happy reading!
It was a quiet sunday, the young bartender were cleaning the marble counter. She much rather clean the bar the day it was closed so she didn't have to stress the next day to get everything ready. Denzel and Marlene were out playing with some other kids. Tifa could see them on the street outside the bar and she smiled gently. The black haired woman had always whised for a family and now she had one. It may not be perfect and she may get comments about being a very young mother and foul glances but she was happy with the little patched up family she had.
Tifa were brought out of here mind when she heard shuffling upstairs. A eyebrow quirked upwards, the blonde warrior was usually very balanced and it wasn't often she cought him in his ungraceful moments.
" Cloud?" she raised her voice and looked towards the stairs.
" I'm fine, just stumbled over a toy" came his calm voice.
Tifa stifled a laugh and went back to cleaning. She would have to tell the kids to clean upstairs later since she didn't want any big accidents. As she placed the glasses in their place she felt two strong arms around her waist. In the beginning when he did this she would jerk at th close and sudden contact but she quickly got used to it. Tifa stopped her motions and leaned against his chest.
" Teef" he mumbled
" Hmm" she replied with closed eyes.
Cloud burried his head in her shoulder, something he always did to find strenght. She stroke his arms, playing gently with his fingers.
" You're wearing my shirt" he mumbled against her soft skin
Tifa opened her eyes do look down at the shirt she was wearing and a smile crossed her lips. She was indeed clad in one of Cloud's shirts, a grey think knitted long sleeved shirt. The black haired woman hadn't even thought of it when she got dressed.
" Seems like I am, have a problem with it?" she asked and turned in his arms.
She cought a glance a Cloud's face and a small tint of pink dusted his cheeks. He hid in her shoulder again. A single shook of his head made her smile and wrap her arms around his neck. That, for her, made it more clear that he would stay with her and the kids.
" You can keep it" he said slowly and lifted his head from her shoulder, his blush now in check.
Tifa shook her head and Cloud raised a eyebrow at her, she had taken the shirt in the first place why didn't she want it?
" It won't smell like you if it's mine" she confessed and it was now her turn to blush.
Cloud let his eyes look at her body, studying every part. She was beautiful, long legs, soft pale skin. Beautiful eyes and hair and still he knew what she could do, she was strong. Stronger then many and he admierd that in her. He stroke her cheek. The blond man was the only one that got to see her like this, hair tousled in a bun with his big shirt on and bare feet. Blushing, she was blushing and Cloud couldn't stop himself as he leaned in and kissed her gently. Tifa were fast to kiss him back. His kisses made her knees go weak, she gripped his shirt to keep standing.
" Cloud!" Denzel shouted from the door.
The older male turned to his adopted son and quirked a eyebrow at him.
" Join us" he said with a big smile being oblivious to what he just interrupted.
" In a minute Denzel" Cloud said.
Denzel smiled widely and ran out to share the news. Cloud was very popular with the kids on the street. Tifa smiled softly, still gripping onto his shirt as he turned towards her again, mako fueled eyes meeting dark brown. She could melt on the spot, there was no denying it she loved his eyes.
" We never get much time alone" Cloud stated, wait was that a small pout.
Tifa stroke his cheek and bit her lip not to giggle, Cloud Strife pouting was something very rare.
" No we don't" she agreed
Cloud breathed out and kissed her quickly.
" Tonight" he said it like a promise and Tifa looked at him with confusion written all over her face.
" Just you and I" was the explination she got before the ex solider joined the kids on the street.
Tifa watched them, still confused but happy.
Night came and when Marlene and Denzel had put the toys back in their place Tifa and Cloud were tucking them in. They were fast asleep after a long day of playing. The two adults left the room, leaving the door open slightly so the light from the hallway mad it's way into the room. Tifa looked up at Cloud, he had grabbed her hand and lead her up to the attic and helped her up on the roof. Was this their alone time? She crept close to him, Cloud being warmer then normal people because of the mako flowing inside of him. He had no problem sharing the warmth with her as the night air were quite chilly. The couple looked at the stars and talked about their friends.
" Reno said he would stop by soon" Tifa said
Cloud grunted at the mention of the red head.
" Oh come on Cloud you like him"
Cloud looked at her.
" A little" he admitted " But don't tell him that for the love of Gaia"
Tifa giggled and leaned her head on his shoulder. They turned quiet for awhile, just enjoying having eachother close.
" Do you think they are proud?" Cloud suddenly asked, his eyes looing in the direction of the church.
Tifa smiled sadly and hugged his waist, nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck.
" More then proud Cloud" she whispered.
Cloud nodded and a smile ghosted over his lips. Tifa pecked his cheek.
" Teef" he whispered.
Tifa waited for some kind of question or statement but nothing came, just a sweet kiss. She pulled him closer as she feel him nibble on her bottomlip. Cloud lay her down on the roof and hover over her as she grants him permission to let his tounge explore her mouth. Her hands run down his back, feeling the muscles flex and relax as he moves. Tifa could live the fould glances and mean comments. She could stand anything if it meant she got this reward. Cloud pulled away, breathless and with a small smile tugging at his lips. Tifa stroke his cheeks.
" I love you" he mumble
It's like there isn't enough air for Tifa to breath. She look at him with wide eyes. She knew he did love her but to hear the words out loud. She couldn't help the big smile on her lips. She, Tifa Lockhart would definitely stand everything to be able to look into his eyes and see the honest feelings floating around.
" I love you too" she whisper
This turned out nothing like I thought it would but I'm still very pleased with it :)
I mean, who wouldn't wanna see Tifa in one of Cloud's shirts ;)
Review my dear darlings! I'm open for anything, if you have your own idea of something send it my way, I would love to hear about it :3
