[:: Radiant Garden ::] A brown haired girl wondered the gardens, passing through the flowers and running her fingers over statues and objects. She really wasn't one for peace, but this place hand a calming aura that even calmed, Miss Tifa LockHeart. Tifa had been wondering the gardens hoping Cloud would appear and she would finally be able to tell him how she really felt. She didn't want Aerith to take him away from her. She may be best of friends with her but she as always jealous on how she would flirt with Cloud. Hopfully he would show up so she wouldn't have to wait here forever. She would always wait here but, it would be a waste of life. It was love she felt for him but she was a free spirit never wanting to be caged by love itself which was such an emotional word it could never be contained. She wandered around until she came to the center fountain on the gardens. She sighed than sat on the cool marble. " Where is he?" She said with a slight groan. Tifa was never a patient one, no matter how calming her atmosphere she had always wanted action and never wanted to stop moving. She rested her head on her fisted hand and waitied.

Tifa had just received a text that Cloud was here and decided this time it was time to meet her again, it was quite along time since they last met. The wing on Cloud's back painfully swung back and forth sending heavy wind waves to wards Tifa before landing on one knee before Tifa, he then slowly stood up standing before Tifa. His face was emotionless and then he groaned with pain as the rather large wing disappeared in a scatter of wings as they drifted to the ground. Cloud then tensed and clenched his fists looking to one side before his head drew back to Tifa's face.
He was standing before the girl and mainly the only thing that kept him alive, even though he didn't treat her the best he could, that was Cloud's way. A glow inside came as he stared into her beautiful eyes almost making him smile but he twitched not daring to show any emotional upon his hard shell.
Before he landed he heard the few impassioned words from Tifa and decided to give Tifa a apology, "I am... Sorry." He nodded his withdrawing his eyes from his love before he was forced to show any emotion in the slightest, even his voice was dull and deep. Cloud's hair blew up with the wind and then fell back in to its perfect shape, as his cape did the same.
He had missed Tifa, never knew what to say. He never wanted Tifa to get involved or hurt but that wasn't his choice to make, he had never been able to tell Tifa what to do even though everything he does is to protect her and his friends, she was still a wild spirit.

"Its Alright. I may not be the most patient of people but I know that others have there reasons for taking long." She smiled slyly as usual and stood up to match her eyes to Clouds. "So.. What have you been up to?" She said shrugging not really knowing what else to say. She wanted to tell him. She wanted to just blurt out and say ' I Love You' but she just couldn't do it. His emotionless face was enough to let anyone give up but she knew somewhere inside him he cared for her. Other wise he wouldn't work so hard to protect her.
Her hands rested at her side, gripped onto the cape that hung off the back of her skirt to keep her from shaking or being nervous. He never really showed any kind of emotion to her. She felt like he was never truely open with her. She than let go with one hand and placed her cellphone back into her pocket.

Cloud's expression simply stayed the same when she forgive Cloud. He neither didn't know what to say, the air almost felt awkward too before Tifa asked Cloud a question, Cloud's mind began to run through all the memories he had met since he last met Tifa and realised that it would take too much effort and still feeling almost shy he simply said, "Nothing." He wasn't that interested in what Tifa had been doing recently.
As Tifa's eyes were forced in front of Cloud's view, he stretched his palm wanting to touch her but he stopped clenching it into a fist before letting it go. He wanted to touch her deep inside but the complecations of Cloud's personality, his history the way he feels he had treated her. He felt he didn't really deserve her attention and moved his view to behind Tifa at the flowers that blew in the calm wind and glew brightly in the golden sun.
He then began to think about the recent information he had bin informed and decided to share it, "They are back... Sephiroth, Jenova and the others." He wanted to make sure was protected and she wasn't getting into any danger before he began another legendary battle.

Tifa sighed an glanced to her side at the flower. Her heart began to burn with desire to tell him the truth and wrap her arms around him. "I know... Vincent called and told me.." She stated simply.
For a few moments it was quite. She gripped her hands into fists for a moment than release them. She took a quick deep breath than turned to face Cloud. "Cloud... I have something... To tell you..." She said softly as her hands started haking lightly. She didn't know if she could do it. After all her practicing with Rinoa, she was still scared to tell him the truth. But she had already started. What ever she blurted out next would be the truth. She couldn't stop it and once it was said she couldn't take back what he would say in reply. It would lift a great load off her back if she could tell him the truth.

Cloud nodded breifly and watched her as she turned to the garden of flowers as he also looked over her shoulder at the flowers, growing closer to wards Tifa and Silence fell upon them apart from the beating for eachothers heart. He quickly stepped backwards abit as she turn around.
Cloud looked at Tifa with a curious expression, getting a idea of what Tifa had to say but wanted her to continue, "Something?" Cloud hadn't felt this for a while but his body began to sweat and he became nerves, reminding him on his first day of Shinra but he didn't show this and glanced to one side and posing. He had never thought what he would say to Tifa when he see's her again. He knew he would've had to stop ignoring her calls and avoiding her or he would lose her for sure and that was something Cloud didn't want to happen.
Cloud's whole body was tense and another time of silence fell upon them again and then Cloud grew close to Tifa, his chest touching hers. This was quite unusual for Cloud but he couldn't help himself. Had Cloud grew out of showing his emotion through anger and realised he could love Tifa now?

Tifa's face was now blushing. She had to tell him. By how he had gotten so close had made her ten times more nervous. She had to say it. She had to let it out. But she couldn't speak. All she could do was act. The only way she knew how was to...
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She than looked up at Cloud's blue eyes and burst forward, her eyes shut, her breath was still. Her lips were pressed against his as her cheeks flamed with the blush that covered her face. After a moment that seemed forever she pulled away slowly and waited for his reaction. She bit her inner lip and looked to the side. Hoping it wouldn't be a bad reaction to her sudden act.

Cloud's eyes burst open in shock as she kissed him but he didn't turn away and began to return the kiss. It felt like time had froze and everything had frozen still apart for them two at that moment, his heart felt like it was going to pounce out of his heart. Cloud's cheeked turned red for a brief moment before turning normal.
Once the moment was over and Tifa stepped back, time seemed to have to shift for ward to catch up and sent a shock through Cloud's body, sending the hairs on his back up. He didn't want the moment to end and before he could think he stepped for ward close to Tifa, sliding his arms around Tifa's body and held tight, enjoying the moment. Even though Cloud's face expression remained still and dull.
A wave of a energy just suddenly burst out of Cloud, sending through Tifa like the wind and blowing the flowers black before they fell back into there position as Cloud's hair did. His head tilted down upon Tifa's shoulder as they hugged. The energy released was his Jenova cells reacting in a unusual way, they usually reacted upon anger but this was stronger than anger. A warm glow came from within Cloud and the Jenova cells was sharing it.
"I... Do too" He didn't say the word love but he meant it.

Tifa gripped onto the back of his shirt and smiled, rested her head against his shoulder. He finally knew, and now se knew he felt the same. She smiled happily and held close to him. And after everything, he kissed her back which was the high light of her happiness.
She never wanted to let go of him. After everything she didn't want to give up this. Not after all they had been through. Not even sephiroth could break them up during this moment. Neither would allow it. They both seemed to have wanted this very badly. Tifa's arm slid over Cloud's shoulders and locked behind his head. She than moved her head to press against his forhead to look hm in the eyes. "I'm really happy you do.." She smiled. Cloud didn't need to smile. Him being there was enugh for her.

Cloud's eyes peered open as she wrapped her arms around his neck, even though his expression still remained still, he looked calm. His arms tensed tightening his hug, bringing the two together closer. It seemed almost too good to be true most of there life they had never had a chance like this, usually something would interrupt, this forced Cloud to show his feelings.
He placed his lips on her beautiful smile and kissing the one he loved. His heart began to drum harder, his heart felt like it was doing back flips. He couldn't believe he was avoiding this moment but Cloud needed to recover, he had gone through allot. He pulled back from the kiss, resting his head on her lock. Cloud's lips began to curve into a smile but they stopped, it looked like a tilted smile but the rest of his face didn't move, then quickly changing... Only smiling for a few seconds.
The slow currents of warm wind blew among the both. The sun began to set and casted a range of colors across the sky, orange, purple. There wasn't many clouds in the sky and it seemed almost too perfect as a white bird flew past them, painting a beautiful image, Cloud watched as it reflected through Tifa's brown eyes.

Tifa's eyes lite up when she saw his smile. SShe blushed only slightly than stared up at Cloud's crystal blue eyes. After all that time and everything they had been though, of all the point she had been jealous that Cloud was going to run off with Aeirith she finally knew Cloud loved her as much as she loved him.
It was silent among the two. Tifa glanced around at the flowers amd all the colors before looking back to Cloud around them was a romantic scene. She never wanted this moment to end, that when her cell phone went off. She sighed and staed in Clouds arms as one of her hands went own to grab her phone. She looks to see it was Rinoa. She rolled her eyes and glanced over at Cloud, trying to decided if she should answer or just let it ring and let her call back.

Everything seem perfect. Had Cloud's mind won the battle? Had the scars of his passed bin cured? He began to think about everything they have bin through and then remembered Aeris but she was never his just another one of Zack's memories and he was glad and hoped they would also get together. Tifa was one if this real memories, his love for her wasn't just a fake memory or a jenova cell... It was his.
All of a sudden the phone began to vibrate against his leg through Tifa's pocket as they stood so close. He then quickly stepped back, giving space for Tifa to anwser the call after hearing the ring tone. He nodded once she glanced over to Cloud, he didn't mind her answering her the phone but the fantasy had almost gone, Cloud had snapped out of it and he turned a way from Tifa to observe his surroundings.
He then began to wonder who the caller was and why they were calling her now. It never accrued to him that this friend of Tifa just wanted to talk as Cloud never really just wanted to talk.

"Hello?" "Tifa its Rinoa. Have you met up with Cloud yet?" "Yeah I met up with him. Why?" "Alright be very careful... The heartless are attrcted in massive forms when lovers meet. Please be careful" "Really? Alright Rinoa. I'll let Cloud know. Thanks." She than hung up and put the phone away. Tifa than turned to Cloud
"Rinoa just called. Appearently when she met up with Squall hordes of heartless were attracted. She said be on the look out." She blushed softly hopign he would understand what she meant when Squall and Rinoa met.

Cloud tilted his head to the side and sighed, waiting for the conversation to end. He noticed as Tifa didn't say by it had to be something Cloud may find interesting. He watched Tifa place her phone in the pocket and then turned back to her eyes, listening to what Tifa said about the two people, the names were unknown... Cloud had never met either of them.
"Rinoa and Squall?" He was interested if she was comparing them two strangers to them. If he had understood what Tifa had said the Heartless would turn up soon and it would be a big heartless. This didn't really bother Cloud but what did bother him that he may of put Tifa in danger by meeting like this. He didn't withdraw his blade but he was ready if anything happened quickly.
But all of a sudden a rather large dark pool of darkness appeared beneath them Cloud quickly, grabbed a hold of Tifa's hand and pulled her away from the pool of darkness. Slowly a rather large Heartless began to come up from the ground revealing its black head with soul searching eyes, Cloud glared at the beast before glancing back at Tifa making sure she was ok and then withdrawing his blade.

"You knoe Leon? You dont remember him and Rinoa?" She said before she was thrown out od the was of a massive pool of darkness. The heartless was massive. er eyes widened for a moment as her fists tightened.
"Crap..." She looked infront of her at Cloud who aloready ha his weapon drawn and was ready to fight this thing. She took a deep breath as her fist clenched letting sparks of lightning shoot off her hands as she got ready to assit Cloud in anyway she could
