Clouded Hearts


In Midgar, you found yourself entangled in a silent dance of unspoken emotions with none other than the enigmatic Cloud Strife. You were drawn to him like a moth to a flame, yet your heart quivered at the mere thought of revealing your feelings. Cloud, with his brooding demeanor and mysterious past, seemed equally hesitant to open up.

One day, as you struggled with your inner turmoil, you finally had enough of keeping your love for cloud in your heart, you had gone to Aerith and Tifa, you two closest  friends who you knew you could trust. As you revealed your feelings for Cloud to them. "Don't worry, Y/N," Tifa reassured you, her voice soft yet resolute. "Confessing your feelings can be daunting, but it's worth it in the end."

Aerith nodded in agreement, her emerald eyes twinkling with empathy. "You just need to find the right moment and the right words. We'll help you every step of the way."

With renewed determination, you, Aerith, and Tifa devised a plan to help you confess to Cloud. It involved subtle hints, casual encounters, and a touch of orchestrated serendipity. Each interaction with Cloud became a delicate dance, every word exchanged pregnant with unspoken longing.

As the weeks went by, you found yourself growing closer to Cloud, your bond deepening with every shared moment. Yet, the fear of rejection still loomed like a shadow over your heart, holding you back from baring your soul.

Finally, on a evening beneath the glow of the city lights, you found yourself alone with Cloud, the air thick with anticipation you could almost cut it with a knife. Your heart pounded in your chest as you summoned the courage to speak, the words falling in a rush of emotion.

"Cloud," you began, your voice barely above a whisper, "there's something I need to tell you."

Cloud turned to you, his blue eyes searching yours with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. "What is it, Y/N?"

Taking a deep breath, you let your heart guide your words. "I...I care about you, Cloud. More than just a friend. I've been too afraid to say it, but...I love you."

A moment of silence stretched between you, the world seemingly holding its breath. Then, to your utter relief and joy, Cloud's stoic facade melted away, replaced by a softness you had never seen before.

"Y/N," he murmured, his voice tinged with vulnerability, "I've been feeling the same way. I love you too."

In that moment, the weight that had burdened your hearts for so long lifted, replaced by a profound sense of peace and belonging. With tears of happiness glistening in your eyes, you and Cloud stepped towards each other, finally allowing your souls to intertwine in a tender embrace.

As you held each other close, the city around you faded into the background, leaving only the two of you, bound together by a love that had weathered the storm of doubt and fear. And as the stars above twinkled in silent approval, you knew that your journey together had only just begun.

After the confession, Tifa and Aerith beamed at each other, exchanging knowing glances that spoke volumes. It was clear they weren't done playing matchmakers just yet.

Aerith clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, now that the hard part is over, it's time to plan the perfect first date!"

Tifa nodded enthusiastically, her mind already racing with ideas. "How about a romantic dinner at Seventh Heaven? We could decorate the place with flowers and candles..."

Cloud hesitated for a moment, his cheeks tinged with a faint blush. "That sounds...nice."

Aerith giggled at his bashfulness, her smile infectious. "Don't worry, Cloud. We'll make sure everything goes smoothly."

With Tifa and Aerith taking charge, the preparations for the first date were set into motion. Seventh Heaven was transformed into a haven of romance, with soft lighting and delicate flower arrangements adorning every corner. Cloud found himself surprisingly eager, his heart fluttering with anticipation at the thought of spending time alone with you.

As the evening approached, Tifa and Aerith ushered Cloud into the bar, where you awaited him, a nervous yet excited smile gracing your lips. The sight of you took Cloud's breath away, and for a moment, he forgot how to speak.

"Wow, Y/N," he managed to say, his voice barely above a whisper. "You look...amazing."

You blushed at his compliment, feeling a warmth spreading through your chest. "Thank you, Cloud. You look pretty amazing yourself."

Tifa and Aerith exchanged satisfied smiles, their plan unfolding perfectly before their eyes. With a gentle nudge, they left you and Cloud alone, giving you the space to enjoy your first date.

Seated across from each other at a candlelit table, you and Cloud shared a meal filled with laughter, stolen glances, and the promise of a future brimming with possibilities. With Tifa and Aerith's guidance, the evening flowed effortlessly, each moment etching itself into your memories like a cherished melody.

As the night drew to a close, Cloud took your hand in his, his touch sending a shiver down your spine. "Y/N," he said softly, his eyes locking with yours, "thank you for tonight. I...I've never felt this way before."

You squeezed his hand gently, a tender smile playing on your lips. "Me neither, Cloud. And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here, with you."

With that, you and Cloud shared a moment of quiet understanding, the weight of unspoken words hanging in the air like a promise. And as you walked home together, hand in hand, the stars above seemed to shine just a little bit brighter, illuminating the path towards a future filled with love and endless possibilities.
