cloud strife x ftm reader [he / him]
sypnosis: above.
the lowercase is intentional !
cloud and [name] were friend ever since they were little.
sure, the two boys weren't that close with eachother, but they were still friends. even if cloud talked to tifa most of the time and went off to join the soldier program, the two of them were still friends. no matter what.
[name] had always liked cloud. the young boy liked how strong willed cloud was and how determined the blonde was to be the number one solider. it really inspired [name], and made him fawn over cloud.
but he'd never say anything, of course. he was too scared and he never knew if cloud reciprocated. [name] was a trans boy after all, so what if cloud didn't even like him as a guy? it would break the boy into little pieces. he wouldn't be able to take it.
what [name] didn't know was that cloud felt the same. cloud always liked [name], not tifa, not zack or anyone else. just [name]. he always wanted to get closer to [name] and confess, but he couldn't. he was scared of rejection, the same way that [name] was. but that didn't stop either from liking one another.
it had been a few years since the two past met, cloud had left nibelheim to join the soldier program and [name] left to explore midgar. they hadn't caught up or seen eachother ever since then.
[name] was walking around wall market, taking in the vibrant lights outside the various buildings and the bustling nightlife. he had been there multiple times before, but each time it felt like the first.
there were so many things to explore at wall market, so many things to try. that's why [name] kept coming back. it was a fun experience, not just for the honey bee in or the various attractions in honour of don corneo. the buildings themselves and the people are what attracted [name].
[name] was minding his business, doing his usual as he went around the area. he looked at a few shops, inspected some materia and weapons on display and he got some food.
the young man decided to walk around with his food, which ended up being a bad idea. there were huge crowds everywhere on this particular day, and he just happened to bump into someone.
all of [name]'s food went flying, straight onto the floor. it was all ruined. people were stepping on it as it dropped to the floor, so [name] definitely wouldn't be able to eat it anymore.
[name] groaned and he looked down at the floor in annoyance before speaking, because the person he had bumped into for some reason hadn't left yet.
"you should watch where you're going next time." [name] grumbled to himself, unsure if the other person actually heard him or not. to his surprise, they did.
"you should also watch where you're going, some people are in a hurry." the person scoffed, and their voice sounded oddly familiar.
[name] raised his eyebrow and he looked up, still annoyed at the fact that this stranger made him drop his food. "well that's not my problem, is it? my problem is the fact that you made me drop my food. i spent a lot of gil on that-"
then, that's when [name] saw who it was that bumped into him.
it was cloud.
his old friend and crush was standing right there infront of him as multiple people barged past the two of them. [name] couldn't believe his eyes.
"holy shit." [name]'s mouth dropped as he stared infront at cloud. he did not think he was going to run into cloud at wall market of all places. shouldn't he be doing some soldier training right now anyway?
[name] wasn't mistaken. he thought he was seeing things but it truly was cloud infront of him.
the striking blonde hair, but with the ponytail now gone. the blue eyes that had a hint of green in them due to the mako. the pale skin that was reflecting all of the neon signs.
it truly was cloud. [name] wasn't seeing things.
"cloud? what are you doing here?" [name] asked, scanning cloud's figure once more to triple check he wasn't hallucinating.
cloud was a little confused at first. he didn't 100% recognise who was infront of him. [name] had grown up and transitioned into being who he truly meant to be.
"[name]?" cloud responded, taking a good look at the man infront of him. it was [name], cloud wasn't hallucinating either.
[name] nodded and he immediately hugged cloud, not believing the fact that his friend was there infront of him still. he didn't know how to grasp the situation. it had been years since they last met and there were no goodbyes shared or anything.
cloud was a little startled by the sudden hug, but he decided to embrace it anyway. it wasn't going to hurt. he was just hugging his old friend.. his old crush.
cloud felt like he was a kid again.
the poor guy was blushing again and he felt his stomach churn. he couldn't believe this was happening.
why now of all times? why were the memories flooding back to him? all the times that [name] and cloud would stay up late to talk or play games.. it all came rushing back.
"i didn't think i was going to ever see you again.." [name] confessed, whispering into cloud's ear softly. he was so happy to see cloud after all these years, cloud had to know.
"neither did i." cloud responded, chuckling lightly to himself as he ended up reciprocating the hug.
he wished he could stay in [name]'s arms forever - but he couldn't. he had a mission to do for avalanche, he had to save tifa. he couldn't stay in [name]'s arms for too long. he had things to do.
"[name] i'm sorry.. i have to go." cloud sighed, stepping back from the hug and looking at [name] with a frown. he didn't want this to end so soon.
"what?" [name] also took a step back, feeling all upset now. the smile he had on his face was wiped away in instant.
the man shook his head and he grabbed cloud's arm, keeping him in place. he wasn't letting him go this time. he was going to tell him everything. he didn't care if cloud was going to be late to whatever he's doing. he was selfish, but for good reasons.
"cloud, you can't just leave me after we've not seen eachother for years!" [name] started, still keeping a firm grip on cloud's arm. he sure as hell wasn't letting the blonde go yet.
"i haven't stopped thinking of you all this time.. and now you're back but you want to leave me again." [name] sighed, letting go of cloud's arm. it seems as if he has given up so quickly.
[name] looked away, crossing his arms over his chest. there was still a frown on his face and it was clear to cloud that he was hurting.
cloud wished he could comfort [name], hug him, kiss him or something else but he couldn't. time was running out, but it felt so slow when he was around [name].
"i should've told you then that i liked you. maybe if i wasn't a coward, you wouldn't of left and we would've been able to be something then.. but it's too late." [name] sighed again. he didn't even know if cloud was listening. "something else is clearly more important, so you should probably just go and do that thing then."
cloud couldn't believe what he had just heard. [name] liked him too? well, that changes everything. maybe cloud can spare a few minutes..
"seriously?" cloud spoke up, walking closer to [name] and holding one of his hands. he couldn't believe that [name] felt the same way he did.
"that.. feeling is mutual. i liked you back then too, but i was also too scared to say anything." cloud frowned slightly and it seemed that he had forgotten about everything else going on in his life.
[name] looked back at cloud, his frown slowly fading away. he was glad that cloud shared the sentiment, even if his confession was more of a 'heat of the moment' thing.
the man took in a deep breath before he spoke again, looking at his love with a smile on his face now.
"i'm glad to know that, cloud. i really am.." [name] says as he brushes a few strands of hair out of cloud's face. "i seriously didn't think you were interested in me at all. i thought you would've fallen in love with someone at the soldier program or something." [name] laughed.
cloud smiled in return. it was a small smile, but it still managed to melt [name]'s heart after years of not seeing it.
"i'd really like to catch up someday." [name] hummed and cloud let go of him, nodding at the other's words.
"of course." cloud responded, definitely wanting to catch up with [name]. they had a lot to catch up on. dates, kisses, hugs.. and even more.
[name] cleared his throat and he looked away, remembering that cloud had something important to do.
"you should.. go now. don't you have something important to do?" [name] mumbled, a heat rising to his face as he felt suddenly embarrassed for no reason.
cloud nodded and he gave [name] a quick kiss on the cheek, letting the other know that the feelings are still there. he then walked away from [name], going to do what he had to do.
"i'm glad our feelings are mutual!" [name] called out as cloud walked away.
cloud had a huge blush on his face as he walked, feeling flustered that a bunch of people now knew about his situation with [name].
at least the feeling was mutual...

cloud strife x male reader [he / him]
sypnosis: [name] ends up bandaging cloud up after one of cloud's comissions. cloud finds himself opening up to [name] and confessing. (meant to be viewed as romantic.)
the lowercase is intentional !
- warning: cuts, bruises and blood mentioned.
"you've got to stop doing this to yourself, cloud." [name] sighed, shaking his head as he continued to wrap bandages around cloud's arm. "like, seriously. remind me how many times i've patched you up this month?"
cloud looked away, frowning a little. he didn't want to admit the amount, it was definitely too much to count. it was definitely way too much for a normal person to be bandaged up. but, of course, cloud wasn't a normal person. he was a merc, an ex-soldier carrying a bunch of burdens on his shoulders.
"..too many times." cloud mumbled, finally accepting defeat after being called out. "i'm sorry." well, that was a first. [name] had never heard cloud apologise before, so this was definitely a first for him. "i know i should take it easy, but i can't. i have a duty to fulfill, even if that means i injure myself badly because people don't know how to fight properly.."
[name] just hummed, tying up the bandage that he finished wrapping on cloud's arm. "i get it. you're strong and you want to flaunt it around by having scars." [name] teased, chuckling a little. this made cloud huff, he didn't appreciate this 'joke' [name] made.
"you have any more cuts or bruises i should check out?" [name] asks, removing his hand from cloud's arm and looking at him with a face of concern. cloud nods in response. "yeah, my chest has a few i think." he says. [name] smirked back. "pull your top off then. i can't help you if your shirt is still on." he chuckled. cloud then pulled off his top, revealing an array of scars, bruises and freshly formed wounds on his skin.
[name] whistled as he saw cloud's bare chest. it was toned and glistening in the light, a truly pretty sight to see. [name] couldn't believe he was so lucky to see this sight. he didn't think cloud was going to take his top off so quickly without a rebuttal.
"damn, you probably pick up a lot of ladies with a body like that." [name] joked. in all honestly he loved to tease cloud, it was so easy to get a reaction from the blonde. this time was no different, of course.
cloud's cheeks turned a light shade of pink and he looked away from [name]'s gaze. he couldn't stand the jokes [name] made. he didn't appreciate them one bit.
"i'm not even going to answer that." cloud muttered, his face still turned away from [name]. "just hurry up and clean my cuts. i'm getting cold." cloud sighed. it was true, he was getting cold. there were goosebumps forming on his arms and his hairs started to stand on end.
"okay, okay." [name] smiled, getting some alcohol wipes and grazing them over cloud's skin. luckily, the cuts cloud had on his chest weren't deep or that painful, so the cleaning process was quick and left cloud unharmed.
[name] continues cleaning up cloud's few cuts with some wipes before speaking up again. "i must say, you're complaining about being cold but your shirt has no sleeves anyway. how are you not cold all the time?" he asks, genuinely curious about how cloud was not cold in that tank top. if it was [name] wearing it during the winter, he'd definitely freeze to death. maybe it was because cloud was an 'ex-SOLDIER' or because of the whole mako thing. either way, [name] didn't get it.
"..what? not appreciative of my jokes today?" [name] cocked his head to the side, smirking slightly at cloud to get a rise out of him. "i mean, yeah, the ladies probably love the tank top and your bod and all, but i don't understand how you don't get cold wearing that." [name] simply stated, shrugging before continuing to clean cloud's wounds.
"i bet tifa loves all of it." [name] mumbled to himself with a smirk still playing on his face.
that's when cloud had enough of [name]'s games. he was fed up by all of this talk about ladies.. and his body.. and now tifa.
"i don't want tifa to love my body, or whatever you're implying." cloud replied, sighing. he was growing more and more frustrated by [name]'s comments, but he couldn't grow too angry. [name] was patching him up and the one most dearest to cloud. "i want you to.." it slips out in a whisper, completely by accident.
[name] stops for a second. he didn't know if he heard correctly, so he just threw away the dirtied wipe into the nearby bin and he laughed.
"oh." [name] laughs, thinking it was cloud's turn in telling jokes. however, by the look on cloud's face (his blush, and eyes darting everywhere to not look at [name]) it was obvious the blonde was not joking.
"shit. you're being for real?" [name] asks, tilting his head and raising a brow at his friend. "i always assumed you were into tifa- i mean, you guys were always close back then and now you are.. i guess?" [name] sighed before speaking up again. "men are confusing." he says, as if he is not a man himself.
"i'm serious." cloud speaks up, a little flustered and embarrassed by this whole ordeal. he never expected that he'd fumble this bad and confess in the most stupid and unromantic way ever. "i want you to love my body.. not just my body though, that sounds weird." cloud's voice is quiet, and seemingly nervous. definitely a different and more vulnerable cloud than the one [name] was used to.
[name] hummed in response and he finally finished wiping down cloud's chest, putting a few plasters on the really bad areas. he then handed the blonde his tank top, watching him put it back on. [name] smiled a little at cloud before he spoke up.
"i do love your body.." [name] joked again, staring at cloud with a sickeningly sweet smile. "but i love all of you too." he admitted, taking one of cloud's gloved hands into his own. "i just thought you were into tifa." [name] repeats, shaking his head. "so i didn't say anything, just incase you did actually like her."
cloud was now totally flustered. even though [name] was holding his hand through a glove, cloud could feel everything about [name]'s hand. it was driving him crazy. in a good way, of course.
"i should probably stop mention tifa now.. you literally just said something and i just confessed so, this is not the right moment.." [name] muttered, laughing nervously as he met cloud's eyes. "but, i mean it. you know, the whole 'i love all of you' thing. seriously." [name] continued.
cloud nodded and he smiled back at [name], taking in a deep breath before he spoke himself. "thank you.." he says, feeling the need to say it. nobody had ever confessed to him before, so he didn't know what to say. sure, people flirted with him on the streets calling him a 'hot merc', but this was different. this was an actual confession. "i love all of you too.. i mean it." cloud whispers.
[name] grins even wider, if that was even possible. he then leans over and places a small kiss on cloud's forehead.
"i'm glad you feel the same way, then." [name] replied, stroking cloud's gloved hand. "we should probably go out some time, don't you think? we'd make an awesome couple." [name] smirked.
cloud laughed this time, looking at [name] with a slight tint of pink dusting his cheeks. "of course, i'd love to go out with you some time." cloud said, feeling the happiest he had ever felt in ages.
"next time i have to patch you up, i'm giving you lots of kisses. just a heads up." [name] hummed, kissing cloud's forehead yet again. "every cut or bruise you get is one kiss from me." [name] said before leaning down and kissing one of the cuts on cloud's arm.
"i guess i'll get some more bruises on my next comission then." cloud joked, loving the way [name] was making him feel right now. he felt so loved and happy in that moment, he never wanted it to end.
cloud was sure looking forward to the next time he'd get tended to by [name]. instead of them being friends, it'd now be a boyfriend treating his boyfriend with lots of kisses. cloud absolutely loved the idea of that.

While everyone's crafting their own theories about FF7R, it's comforting to know Zacks probably about as confused as we are
How Cloud views Zack - 💙💐☀️😊
How Cloud views Sephiroth - 🔥🔪☄️💀

Where's he taking him? 🤔
This is a thank you piece for @ cloudmateria on twitter!!
Birthday present for my boyfie, he wanted a lineup of his favorite PlayStation titles
After many years, Cloud' s physical functions began to decline, and he needed longer periods of sleep.
(I tried my best with the translation😭)
having a flare up = forcing it on my blorbos of the month
zack revival after meteorfall au where he has chronic pain and cloud takes care of him on his hard days which is hard for zack because he's always been the one taking care of everyone around him. he was helping aerith with her flower wagons, he was trying to help angeal and sephiroth and genesis stay sane, hell he was trying to help cloud with his motion sickness!! and now his body revolts and makes him sore and exhausted for days on end.
cloud tries to convince him he really doesn't mind takin' care of him, that he loves him, but it's hard for him to take, y'know? it's hard to accept help when it feels like accepting defeat, and it's even harder to accept help when you don't exactly know what's goin' on.
ugh i'm so tired of this you guys
you guys i love billy. you will be hard pressed to find an npc i didn't fall in love with though. broden and regina and roche and leslie and johnny and jules and chadley and oates and marlene and biggs and wedge and jessie and zhijie and urgh i just find the npcs all so lovable!!!
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | ▶ dev. Square Enix
zack comes back to life after meteorfall au where zack and cloud are spending time together and cloud says something about how he feels like a monster sometimes and zack freaks tf out bc thats how angeal and genesis and sephiroth all felt before they tried to kill him.
started the original final fantasy seven. everyone is SO MISOGYNISTIC??? i said i was scared when i was going to fall off of a FREAKING MAKO REACTOR (#5, if it wasn't obvious) and barret told me to "stop crying like a girl" OH MY GOD?? YOU DO IT??!!! YOU HANG OFF THE EDGE AND DON'T BE SCARED??!!! WHAT.
also i HATE this weird tifa-aerith beef. i DEFINITELY prefer whatever they have going on in the remake continuity. please stop bullying each other. please stop asking if i'm dating one or the other. i don't even. care.
also cait sith in the honeybee inn?? was so funny. why was he there??
but also i LOVE all the details that are like, wow, this was a piece of the background. you made this a two hour gimmick. (this is about those fucking robot hands in sector six.)
HELP THEY'RE SO CUTE.
This joke could be told 500 times and it would never be enough for me
thinking about final fantasy vii dads today...
cloud and tifa have a weird thing going with their parents, where cloud lost his dad very young/didn't grow up with his dad, only living with claudia, and tifa has the exact opposite, where her mom died when she was young (leading to the og nibelheim incident /hj) and she grew up mostly with brian, until both claudia and brian died in the (second) nibelheim incident.
brian lockhart was obviously very protective of tifa, not wanting her to go up mount nibel in the first place with sephiroth, zack, and cloud to check on the reactor. then he died in front of her up in the reactor a week later...
while barret doesn't talk about his parents, he is a dad, and he sure has complicated feelings about that!! what with dyne being his best friend, and myrna not being able to be there with him, caring for marlene through all that loss must be crazy.
aerith's dad literally helped create sephiroth. professor gast was a craaazy dude lowkey. and he's so irrelevant in her life it kills me a little. i hope we see gast in pt. 3. and tell him his daughter is fuckin' dead.
nanaki has a weird thing with seto, too, where he believed him to be a coward, just to learn that in all actuallity, seto sacrificed the life he could have had with his wife and nanaki to protect cosmo canyon, so nanaki wouldn't feel the need to make a similiar, self-sacrificing choice.
yuffie and godo... her anger at him in the remake trilogy has me hooked. sonon seemed to think he was a great guy, and yuffie adamantly argued the opposite. i cannot WAIT to see him in pt. 3. i cannot wait to find out what is going on. she hates him so much right now, for the sake of her country.
does cid have a dad thing? ...i don't think so. neither does reeve/cait sith... well. i didn't forget them. they're mentioned.
vincent and grimoire... another thing i hope they explore in pt. 3... or in a DoC remake (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMAKE IT.) the literal 4 minutes of grimoire screentime that explains absolutely nothing about their relationship, or grimoire's research, or... ANYTHING. i'm so. curious. he came in, flirted with lucrecia, and died. ARGH TELL ME MORE!!!
also, not a party member, but the whole "president shinra having multiple illegitimate sons" thing always makes me hate that guy a little more. lazard and evan i love you guys. rufus i love you too but your daddy issues are a different flavor.
are other people making "hopes and dreams in part 3" bingo boards?? i was thinking about it and made a list of like 30+ things to put on the board (a LOT of them are definitely only dreams and won't happen but i thought of them and want them to happen so...)
if other people are, or have ideas, pleeease let me know i'm so curious what other people expect or hope for from part 3
gay people so dramatic
Eeeeeee!! Oh my god. This amazing piece of art by @domolord492 has me absolutely floored. It's incredible, look at those details, it's so beautiful! Ahhhhh! I'm just flailing around, incoherently with joy, oh my god. It's from chapter 26 of End as You Mean to Begin, the kimono Cloud wears to dinner after embracing the gender confusion he's inadvertently caused. I have a thing for describing what Cloud is wearing (especially when I get to put him into something pretty!) so it's especially amazing getting to see what I imagined! It's so beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️
(Posted with permission, thank you!❤️)
They are so adorable!! Love the lighting.
Just a found family on their way to a gentler life (hopefully)
So there's this really good fanfic by @eaymtb of Cloud being sent back in time together with child remnants that's got me SO hooked, I've been wanting to draw something for it for ages so here's some art of the boys on their way to Wutai
I dunno if I wanna finish them...
But I am happy I am getting better at coloring
Its gonna be multiple chapters i swear
I’m still figuring posting on AO3 out lol
Sketch idea: chocobo Cloud! Aka Cloud in his natural, chocobo form. The world needs more Chococloud.
Or, since you seem to draw more Sephiroth, Sephikitty!
Or, since we're on the theme, Puppy Zack, Bear Angeal, or Phoenix Genesis.
Or any of them in a onesie or hanging out with their animal.
Pictures from the group chat of the boys with their animals :D
Sephiroth: “asshole woke me up”
Zack (Aerith hyjacked his PHS): “He stole a dog off the street and now says it’s ours.”
Cloud: “help.”
LUCY, Lucyris Asare. - Info, WIP.
^Insp'LUCY by Anna Tsuchiya.
Death crowds me in the garden of life. Am I not but a mere body? Soon to decay?
Lucy is someone who's been dragged all her life.
Her partner (D), is someone who is a sadist. As an effect, that changed her.
Once a person filled with bliss and life, was now drowning in death and nihilism. Life is outgrowing her, yet she clings to it.
D is running a company, one that thrives on death and nihilism. His ex-girlfriend still recovering from the wounds of, well, him - is soon to leave a mark on Lucy.
5 reasons of living and she departs herself. It's not worth it to hang around him, he is making her, a living woman, into a corpse.
---------------------------------------------------------
Old.
That's how she feels. Though she lives in her 20-something year old body, the world keeps outgrowing her. The break she's taken for the past to years, has only brought her to greet D's ex-girlfriend.
Living with her for the past 6 months hasn't changed her life completely, but it's changed her life nevertheless.
Equipt with a bow and arrow she never uses. Her time flow is unchained, as soon as their house is in flames.
Do you fight corruption with redemption?
---------------------------------------------------------
Her personality:
Someone who's playful and genuine. She's focused, and someone who doesn't anger easily. She likes to think she's 'level-headed' but in reality, she hasn't felt her adrenaline rush since 16. She loves to show she loves others in different ways - e.g, letting them use her home name/Ghanaian name when she's really close to them, buying double of the foods they love, and burning memories into objects.
She's also similar to the wax door. She's soft, but the doors she's put through hardens and shapes her.
Her board;
If you have questions about her, I'd love to answer! (◍•ᴗ•◍)
