Curate, connect, and discover
I’ve been thinking about that since the game came out, got a theory about it
I think Zack’s Cloud overwrote that worlds Cloud, kinda like saving 2 files with the same name in the same place.
Zack would be fine since that worlds him already died, so there's nothing to overwrite there. Cloud on the other hand was still alive and spent about a week running around in Midgar.
Maybe only 1 of each person can exist at the same time, so Cloud just vanished? He wasn't with the rest of Avalanche (+ Local Florist & Lab Rat Dog) at the start of Rebirth, but his actions & people's memory of him weren't erased.
TL:DR: I think Zack's Cloud / Cloud #2 overwrote that universe's Cloud File Explorer style
Actually, where is Cloud Strife #1? Who we’re following in Rebirth is (I’m guessing) Cloud Strife #2 (#3 or #4, etc. depending on your perspective, who keeps count anymore?). Cloud Strife #1 is currently missing. And we know they’re not talking about Zack in this scenario.
Some people say that he’s with Sephiroth at “The Edge” or wherever they were fighting at the end of Remake. Some say that missing!Cloud is the one we’re following in Rebirth. Some say he was displaced in another “timeline” (again there are other theories that say that there are no timelines or time travel involved, instead these “timelines” are “manifestations of dreams and thoughts from the Lifestream,” which I would love to get into but I don’t want this post to be that long).
But again, where did Cloud go???
Final Fantasy VII has completely taken over my brain for the last month pls send help /j
Omg that was something
summary: cloud can't sleep with you on his mind, unable to accept his feelings. until eventually you both get caught unable to sleep. confessions occur, seggs happens perchance.
tw: seggs, quite rough seggs
He finally gave up. After hours of writhing in his hotel room, trying to convince himself over and over again, he knew he wasn’t winning. You had been circulating his mind, doing laps, your face crossing his vision every second. Continuously recalling your cut-up face today, panting, exhausted, the way his heart failed at the sight of you. You had no hesitation when it came to saving anyone, even at the expense of yourself.
He groaned, dragging himself out of bed to get fresh air on the balcony. He dragged his hands down his face as he leaned against the railings, looking over Junon. He was being such a fucking girl about this, really. Just a simple crush and it was like he was 14 years old again, getting sweaty hands at the mere thought of you, and yet he still didn't want to accept it, what was right in front of him.
Cloud sighed deeply, resting his elbows against the railings and clasping his hands together. He couldn’t do this anymore. He couldn't be away from you. Even if you didn’t return his feelings, it wasn't going to stop him, no way in hell, he just needed you by his side, sitting in that bed he was already thinking about knocking on your door just to talk to you and see if you were still okay from that fight that happened hours ago.
"I don't like her. I'm just not used to having new friends," he told himself, the wind ruffling his hair and his heart pounding at the thought of you, eventually shaking his head, that didn't feel right. He couldn't even deny it anymore. "...It's just a crush, I'll get over it."
The lie tasted bitter on his tongue.
Cloud was already heading to your room, his hand raised to knock on the door before he realised what he was doing. He cursed himself, dropping his arm back down to his side. This was fucking ridiculous, what was he doing? Cloud didn't even realise the way he was acting, but this was unlike him. Normally, he was cool and collected, always had been, but you, you turned his world upside down and he had no idea how to handle it.
"Why am I doing this?" He thinks, softly leaning his head against the door. "She's probably sleeping, why are you disturbing her for this stupid shit?" He asked himself, turning around and walking down the hall towards the elevator. He pressed the button, waiting as he looked back at your door. And you stepped out, half asleep and still in your pajamas, it was so dark you didn't even see Cloud at the end of the hallway.
You shuffled down the hallway. Your head was killing you, all those thoughts that had been swarming you for the past few hours, and now you had a headache. It was a horrible, horrible, night. You needed to go see Aerith to see if she had any healing spells, or Tifa to see if she had any medication, maybe you could go out and clear your head.
You bumped straight into Cloud's chest while you were rubbing your eyes.
"Y/n?"
"Cloud?"
"What are you doing up? Are you okay?"
"I could ask you the same thing. Not trying to sneak out on us are you?" You say, looking up at him, squinting. The hallway lights were bright and you couldn't see his expression properly.
"Just taking a walk."
"Oh my god, that's great. Can I join you?"
"Sure. Everything okay?"
"Yeah," you sigh, "I just couldn't sleep, I've got a lot of things on my mind."
"I know what that's like."
"You couldn't sleep either, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Wanna talk about it?" You ask, walking next to him as you both go downstairs.
"Not really." You smiled.
"You're never going to open up to me, are you? It's nice to get things off your chest, you know. I'm a great listener."
"You're also so nosy."
"Only for hot, mysterious guys." You giggle, poking him in the chest. He rolls his eyes, shaking his head and trying not to smile, but you notice his mouth twitching and the tips of his ears going red. "Where are we going, by the way?"
"Down on the beach, unless you want to go somewhere else?"
"No, it's fine. I love the beach."
"You'll freeze."
"I won't."
"You're still wearing your PJs."
"I don't need a lecture, Cloud."
"Well it's my problem if you get sick, isn't it?"
"That's cute. Assuming the responsibility of taking care of me."
"Isn't that what I'm doing right now?"
"Touche."
You both walked in silence to the beach, the breeze was warm and the stars were shining bright in the sky. The waves were crashing on the shore, the smell of the ocean was filling the air, and Cloud was beside you.
"What's on your mind?" He asked.
"Hit my head when we were fighting earlier, had a headache. And just thinking about some stupid shit that happened years ago, it's so annoying when you can't get things out of your head and you get a headache."
"I get it. I feel the same way. Sometimes it feels like a million things are happening and all at once."
"Exactly."
You were quiet for a moment, listening to the ocean and feeling the soft sand beneath your feet. He turned to face you while you were looking over the water, moonlight softly reflecting in your eyes, lighting up your face. Breathtaking. Although brutally reminded of earlier as his eyes dropped down to the cut on your cheek, the gash on your arm.
"I’m sorry that I couldn't get to you quick enough earlier."
"It's fine, you don’t have to protect me. Just ended up with a concussion."
"Why do you always get yourself hurt for other people?" You laughed.
"I couldn't let Tifa get hurt, could I? She deserves princess treatment. You would know, you have a crush on her, don't you?"
"What?" Cloud choked.
"Knowing a girl that pretty since you were kids? Sounds like a great love story." You were genuinely curious, not wanting to be a homewrecker or get the wrong idea from him at any point. You could get the vibe that she liked him too, that they were flirting sometimes.
"Tifa is my best friend, I've known her for years."
"You guys were arguing like a couple in Nice. Or is it a relationship?"
"We're childhood friends."
"That's not what I asked, Cloud."
"No, it’s not.”
"What about Aerith?"
"Aerith is like my sister."
"Do you have a crush on her then? Is that why you always get flustered around her?"
"Why does it matter? You've got a thing for Reno, don't you?" You burst out laughing, he couldn't help but smile watching you die for a minute straight, until you could feel abs coming through. But he genuinely wanted a straight answer. "Don't you?"
"No?" You snorted.
"Leslie or Tseng?"
"Oh my God, Cloud. You're going to kill me." You laughed. "What makes you think that?"
"You kept calling them hot. The way you look at both of them too. "
"The way I look at him? Are you jealous?" You tease.
"Of course not." He said sternly.
"Why are you getting so defensive, Strife?" You smirk.
"I'm not."
"Sounds like jealousy to me."
"Why would I get jealous?"
"Are you sure you're not jealous, Cloudy? You're getting a bit worked up."
"Y/n..." He mutterest annoyedly.
"You're not denying it."
"What's there to deny? ...Oh, come on. I saw the way you looked at Reno."
"Reno's a pain in the ass. An attractive pain in the ass. But I don't like him." Thank God, he thinks. "What about you then? Aerith or Tifa?"
"No."
"No to both of them?"
"Why are you surprised?"
"Because they're gorgeous! Are you gay?!"
"No. I'm just... not attracted to them. That's all."
"Ok so... not gay, not attracted to Tifa or Aerith." You list. "You have to like someone."
"Who do you like thetn?" I’m not ready for an unrequited confession, you think.
"I asked first."
"Are you 5?"
"We're literally sitting here talking about crushes and you're dodging the question. You’re the five-year-old."
"This is ridiculous."
"Who is it?"
"Are we really going to do this here?"
"Please."
"I like you." Cloud says, finally looking at you. You freeze, blinking a couple of times. His heart sinks to his stomach, knowing he should’ve expected rejection and feeling like a fucking idiot.
"What?"
"You heard me."
"Say it again."
"I like you, Y/n. What? Have I ruined everything?" One more butterfly and you would've flown away.
"You don't." You say, trying to confirm it.
"Why is that so hard to believe?"
"If you're being serious I'm going to do something really stupid."
"Wha-" You grabbed the collar of his vest, pushing his face toward you, lips connecting. His hands find your waist quickly, pulling you closer and deepening the kiss. Your hands snake around his neck, running through his hair, his hand cupping your cheek, thumb stroking it. He pulls away, biting your bottom lip, picking your hips to wrap your legs around his waist, panting heavily and taken shocked.
"You have no idea how long it took for me to come to terms with the fact I like you."
“I can’t believe it either.” You smile, kissing him again. “I bagged Cloud Strife.”
“And I bagged you.”
"Let’s get back to the hotel. It’s cold.”
“Almost like I said. And who’s going to be the one taking care of you?”
“It’s almost like I wanted you to warm me up.” You smiled.
…
He quickly had you against the door the second you got in, kissing down your neck feverishly. It was the only thing he could do after you had been relentlessly going through his mind all week. He wanted nothing more than to feel every inch of you.
"Cloud," you moan, pulling at his vest and throwing it off of him.
"What?" He breathes, his hand reaching the back of your neck to pull you into another kiss.
"Do you know how hot you are?"
"Do you know how hot you are? Why the hell are you not naked yet?" He mumbles into your mouth, ripping your shirt off.
"Fuck." You gasp, as his lips travel down your chest, unclipping your bra. "Couldn't even wait to get onto the bed? Ah-!" His nimble fingers came to your breast, rolling the bud, his mouth sucking in your other nipple, tongue swirling around it. You grip onto his hair, your body burning, twitching. He lifts his head, his lips capturing yours again.
"You're beautiful."
"You're making me blush." You breathe, as his finger catches in your waistband, moving slowly.
“It looks good on you."
"Hurry up, please,"
"Begging already?"
"You've had me waiting long enough, I swear-" He presses his lips against yours again, silencing you.
"Patience."
"I can’t." You mutter as he pulls off your shorts and undergarments, bringing his face down, arms wrapped around your thighs to prop you up against the wall.
"Please, Cloud."
"God, I love it when you beg. You have no idea what it does to me." He groans, taking in what is in front of him.
"Fucking do something about it." You say frustratedly, bucking your hips forward to prompt any kind of contact.
"Didn't expect you to be such a brat." He nudges his nose against your clit, making your thighs squeeze, although forced back open by his arms.
"Cloud!"
He licks a long stripe down your pussy, his tongue slipping in. His tongue flicks, making you arch as you whisper his name over and over.
"Cloud, fuck, Cloud,"
"So pretty," he says, muffled.
"More, please."
He takes your clit into his mouth, his tongue swirling around it, his arms holding you up as you start to shake. His tongue works its way down, sliding in and out, nose pressed deeply into your sensitive bud. It didn't take you long to feel yourself build up to your finish.
"I'm close." You whimper, he feels your thighs tighten, letting your thighs squeeze his head and hang your legs over your shoulder.
"Come on, baby."
You moan as your climax reaches, eyes rolling back, gripping his hair tightly. Your legs begin to twitch, his head lifting up.
"So perfect for me." He hums, standing up, held up by your ass as he brings your face up for a kiss. He brings you over to lie on his bed. He kisses down your body, making you whine.
"What about you?" You ask.
"What about me?"
"Don't you want to finish?"
"You want me to fuck you?"
"God, yes."
"Are you sure you can handle it, princess?" He asks, undoing his trousers and removing the rest of his clothes. “How do you want it?”
"However you want."
"I asked how you wanted it, Y/n.”
"I'm indecisive, I just need you. Do whatever you want, please."
"You sure you're not going to regret that? I won't hold back." He says, kicking off his trousers. You can see the bulge through his boxers, making your heart stop for a minute. "Having second thoughts?"
"That's a lot for my first time."
"You're a virgin?"
"I don't exactly have time for boyfriends when I move all over the place."
"I'll be gentle then."
"I thought you said you weren't holding back." You sit up, watching him as he pulls it out, and kicks away his boxers too. Speechless.
"Only if you had a deathwish." He teases.
"Can I suck it?"
"Only if you promise not to bite."
"No promises."
He smiles, stroking his cock a couple of times, standing over you. He lets your hand wrap around it, guiding you to his tip. You take him in your mouth, his hand tangling itself in your hair, gently guiding himself down your throat.
"You're so pretty." He groans. You swirl your tongue, making him buck his hips slightly, a moan escaping his lips. You hum, sending vibrations down his dick, his grip tightening in your hair.
"Faster," he pleads, thrusting into your mouth, your eyes watering as he goes deeper. "Fuck,"
He pulls out, you lick a long strip down the underside, sucking the tip. You can taste the precum as you go back to deepthroating him as far as you can manage until you feel his balls tighten.
"God, I could cum in your mouth right now."
You can feel him getting close, his grip starts to tighten. He pulls you away by your hair.
"I was going to let you finish me, but I want to hear you scream." He pushes you back down onto the bed, spreading your legs wide open. You can feel the heat radiating off of his dick, as it rests on your pelvis. "You still want this?"
"Yes, Cloud. Please, please."
"Needy thing." He says, leaning down to peck your lips. He swirls a finger around your clit, before pushing the tip against it, slowly running it up and down. He watches the way your face contorts in pleasure, as you grab the pillow underneath your head. He lines himself up, changing his mind at the last second with a grin, rubbing it up between your lips again.
"Stop teasing me,"
"It's so fun to watch your squirm,"
"I'll finish myself off."
"Oh yeah? How are you going to do that if I'm holding you down?" He grabs your wrists, pinning them above your head.
"I can't wait any longer, please."
"Since you're begging so nicely."
"God, finally." He leans over again, kissing you one more time before lining himself up. Slowly, pushing the tip in, and letting you adjust to the stretch as he stayed there for a minute. He groaned, it was already so tight, hot, wet.
"Fuck... So tight." He mutters, thrusting the tip in. "You okay?"
"Yeah." You twitch around him, and he feels it. He pushes in slowly, inch by inch. His cock filling you, the stretch getting wider, as he slides in completely, the inside of you full.
"Ah- Fuck."
"Want me to stop?" You shake your head. He bites down on his bottom lip. "God you feel so good." Slowly, he pulls out, the head catching on the edge, and pushes in again. The pace stays slow for a while, his hand holding your wrists above your head.
"Taking me so good." He moans, kissing your neck again. You whimper, any discomfort starting to melt away, pleasure taking over.
"Harder, Cloud."
He complies, snapping his hips into you, the pace slowly picking up. You cry out and his hand comes off your wrists to clamp around your mouth before you woke up everyone else, his thrusts turning into a fast and rough pace, the sound of skin slapping on skin echoing through the room. His breath was hot on your neck, panting.
"You want it rough?"
"God, please, yes." He pulls out suddenly, flipping you over onto your chest, your ass hanging in the air.
His hand came to your hip, slamming back into you, grabbing a handful of hair and yanking it back, forcing your back to arch. His pace was brutal, his hand leaving your hip, coming to the small of your back, holding you in that position. The room filled with nothing but the sound of his balls hitting your clit, the obscene wet noise of his cock slipping in and out. You bury your face into the pillow, muffling the noises spilling out of your mouth.
"God, you take my cock so well. Such a good girl." He groans. His pace begins to stagger, his dick twitching inside you. "Can't believe I had to wait this long for you."
He pulls your head back, pressing his chest against your back. He kisses and sucks at the skin of your neck, his hips snapping against your ass, the sound of the headboard knocking against the wall. His hand comes back down to your clit, rubbing harsh circles, and it was overwhelming. You felt tears form in the corner of your eyes.
"I'm so close."
"Me too."
"Come on, y/n, cum on my cock." His hips snapped again, and you couldn't hold back anymore. The knot in your stomach released, your legs shaking.
"Fuck." He groans, his hips stuttering and his hand coming down to grip your ass, feeling the convulsions of your body around his dick. "I'm going to cum inside."
"Please."
"You want it?"
"Uh-huh."
He buries himself inside, a guttural groan escaping his throat, the heat of his cum filling you up, twitching, his thrusts slowing, riding out his orgasm. His arms wrapped around your body, keeping you pressed against his chest, as you both lay there, panting, trying to catch your breath.
"Fuck." He chuckles. "That was..."
"Wow."
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"I'm seeing stars, I think. Or maybe I'm in love."
"You're definitely in love." He smiles, kissing your cheek. He thrusts deep into you one more time, his cock sensitive, the both of you moaning. "Round two?" He suggests.
"I'll die." He laughs and pulls out of you, you whimpering at the loss. He rolls onto his back, pulling you with him.
"I'll get you a pill tomorrow morning, okay?"
"I have an important question."
He wraps his arms around your waist, his forehead pressed against yours. "Go on."
"How did you learn how to fuck so good?"
"I had a lot of pent-up energy."
"So I was just an easy outlet?"
"Maybe."
"I don't want to hear another word."
"I'm joking. It was pent up feelings, you idiot."
"Or maybe you're just a man whore?"
"No, definitely not. Just pent up feelings, like I said."
"For how long?"
"Like a year."
"That's a long time."
"I know."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I thought you didn't like me."
"Cloud."
“Mm.”
“You’re stupid.”
“I know. We could’ve fucked sooner.”
"Is that what you're really thinking about?"
"Not really. I'm thinking about how good your pussy feels around my cock."
"You're gross."
"You're gross, you made me cum inside you. They're going to give us an earful tomorrow, they definitely heard us." He mumbles, littering kisses up and down your neck again, wrapping his arms around you tighter.
"Guess we better get some sleep then?"
“Anything you say, princess.”

My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end

ffvii time travel au where cloud and tifa got married and the dynamic is this:
cloud, sighing: I miss my wife, zack. I miss her a lot. I gotta go, I’ll be back soon.
Character: Cloud Strife, Final Fantasy series
Warnings: smut, make-out sessions, handjob, blowjob, pegging, fingering
Summary: Cloud was always the one to make you feel good, but now it was your turn.
Words: 1358
You sighed in annoyance, standing in front of Cloud, who was obviously tired and aching all over. But, he didn’t want to admit it. Just like any other time you asked him how he was doing, he’d always respond with, ’fine’ and shrugged it off. You weren’t that naïve, though. You noticed right off the bat that he needed some relaxation, just some time to recover from the constant fighting.
‘’Let me help you, okay?’’ You said, looking up at him with puppy eyes, begging for him to let you help him relax. ‘’I have something in mind, which I think could help you relax your muscles a bit.’’ A tiny smirk formed on your lips, causing Cloud to raise an eyebrow and shake his head in confusion. ‘’Well, what did you have in mind?’’ He asked, crossing his arms as he impatiently waited for you to answer. ‘’Promise me you’ll listen to me?’’
He nodded his head slowly, only getting more confused at your vague questions. ‘’So, you know how you’re always the one that makes me feel good, right? How about we reverse the roles and l’ll do the same to you…’’ The blonde’s eyes widened at your ridiculous offer, his cheeks burning up as he cleared his throat. ‘’You know I’d never do that.’’ He replied, rubbing his temples in frustration. It was clear that Cloud was completely overthrown by this question.
‘’Fine, I guess.’’
Your eyes sparkled, grabbing Cloud’s hand as you pulled him towards the bed. You pushed him down onto the hard mattress, sitting on top of his lap with the biggest smile on your face. Without another word, you pushed your lips against his, both of you letting out soft moans into each other’s mouth. You gave the boy one last kiss, before lifting your head up. You were out of breath, Cloud was heavily panting, just like you were. The two of you have had heavy make-out sessions before, but this one felt like it had been building up for a long time.
You pulled up your top, lifting it over your head and throwing it to the side. You did exactly the same with the skirt and your undergarments, leaving you in just your bra. Cloud got the hint and pulled off his shirt and pants, revealing a well-built body underneath all the fabric. Your eyes trailed from his pretty face, down to his chest and the bulge that was forming under the last piece of fabric. Your hand moved down to his erect dick, your slim fingers moving to the rim of his underwear, pulling it down to his legs with a bit of his help.
When your eyes met his, he avoided your gaze, his cheeks glowing a bright red hue. ‘’May I?’’ You chuckled, wrapping your lips around the tip, swirling your tongue around his as you looked up at him. ‘’Yes…’’ Cloud’s breathing sped up, twitching at the touch of your lips on his cock.
After taking it easy on the blonde, you sped up your movements, going down on his cock at a quick pace. Some soft whimpers started leaving Cloud’s mouth, his hand holding a gentle grip on the silky strands of your hair, tightening every time you swirled your tongue around him. ‘’S-Stop-’’ He muttered under his breath, making you stop what you were doing. You looked into his eyes as you spoke up, ‘’Hm, what is it? You need to speak up.’’ You said sternly, wiping off the saliva from your mouth. ‘’Stop what?’’
‘’I can’t go much longer like this.’’ Cloud covered his face, it was an even brighter red than before. ‘’How about I start prepping you then, sounds good?’’ He quickly nodded without saying another word, he looked embarrassed, but deep down you knew how much he loved it when you took the lead and called shots.
You grabbed the lube from a small night stand next to the bed, as you opened the cap, the liquid came flowing out. You applied a generous amount on your fingers and some on his aching hole. Cloud shivered at the cold substance hitting his skin, turning his head away from you, which only made you even more excited. You rubbed two of your fingers on his hole covered in lube. Before pushing your fingers inside, you made quick eye contact with Cloud, making sure he was ready. In one swift motion, your fingers slipped inside, moving around easily with the lube. He groaned at the feeling, you could tell he wasn’t completely relaxed. ‘’Hey, relax a bit. Let me take the lead.’’ Your other hand cupped his cheek reassuringly as you whispered those words into his ear.
It didn’t take much longer for him to fully relax and lean into your touch. You thrusted your fingers gently into him, curling them from time to time, which made Cloud whimper even more than before. He pushed his hips into you, creating friction between the two of you. His whimpers only grew louder as you sped up, hitting his sweet spot every time you curled your fingers.
He was already a mess, and the worst was yet to come.
After some time, you decided it was time for a bigger treat. You got up and grabbed the silicone strap-on from one of the drawers of the night stand. Cloud’s heart was racing as he looked at it, you had never done this before, but you wanted to give him the exact same pleasure he always gave you.
With a bit of struggle, you managed to put it on. You tightened the straps as you then lubed the entire thing up. The lube was spread nicely as you stroked it gently. ‘’On your knees~’’ You mused, watching Cloud do as he was told.
As soon as he was on his knees, face down into the pillow, you pushed the silicone dick inside him. His back arched, earning you a loud moan mixed with heavy breathing and whimpering.
You slowly fucked him, the lube creating a squelching sound every time you pushed it further inside. It wasn’t halfway in yet, but he already looked ravished. He moaned loudly, whining when you pushed it in further and further. All you could do was watch his pretty face as you fucked him into the mattress. Even you were moaning, panting with every thrust you made.
You wrapped one of your arms around his chest, using the other to stroke his dick roughly. Your skin smacked against his plump ass, it was turning red from how you were pounding into him. Cloud stopped you for a moment, turning himself around as he then quickly signed you to continue. The smirk on your face was so obvious to the boy, it made him even more aroused than before.
Cloud wrapped both his legs around you, pushing you down into his needy ass even more. ‘’Look who’s being a good boy for me, hm?’’ You said, kissing down his neck and chest, pampering him all over. His nails dug into your skin, leaving red trails down your back.
It wasn’t much longer until you noticed he was reaching his orgasm. Your hand wrapped around his cock once more, your thumb moving over his tip. You knew how sensitive he was there. Cloud moaned, throwing his head back into the pillow as he came all over you. Your chest was covered in cum, dripping down to your stomach and pussy.
‘’Look at you. You really needed that.’’ You chuckled, scooping some liquid on your finger and licking it off. ‘’No I didn’t.’’ He replied, getting up from the bed, but sitting back down right away. ‘’You really went at it, huh.’’ He sighed, rubbing his back as he looked over at you. You crawled over to him, sitting down next to the blonde.
‘’Next time, I’ll go easy on you.’’
Character: Cloud Strife, Final Fantasy series
Warnings: angst, Hanahaki disease, mentions of blood/death
Summary: Your unrequited feelings for Cloud were weighing heavily on you. You were suffering not only emotionally, but also physically, to the point of death.
WC: 976 words
You've been extremely frustrated during the last few days. Your hands were entangled in the silky strands of your hair, to the point you were tearing hairs from your scalp.
For years, you've had feelings for Cloud, but you knew without asking him, that those feelings weren't mutual.
Every single person you told about your troubles, all advised you to confront Cloud about it. But, you weren't going to do that. What point was there in doing so? He had made it very clear to everyone around him, that he wasn't interested in relationships and all that.
You tried to push yourself past these feelings with every last ounce of energy you had, but it was harder than you had expected. Every time you tried to look the boy in the eyes, you felt like throwing up. And because of that, you had decided to try to avoid him at all costs.
And just like any other day, you found yourself sitting at the bar of Seventh Heaven with tears pooled at the brim of your eyes. Just the thought of Cloud made your heart break into a million pieces, but luckily, Tifa was there for you to take your mind off of things.
''Hey, cheer up! Don't stress it too much, okay?'' You heard Tifa's voice yell from the other side of the room. Tifa's ability to sense how you were feeling from such a distance shocked you. You nodded, biting on your bottom lip as you muttered out a soft 'yeah'.
Tifa walked up to you, lifting your head up a bit as she wiped the tears from your cheeks. ''You know, maybe Cloud does share your feelings. He'd prefer it if you told him instead of keeping it to yourself.'' She remarked as she softly patted your back.
''I don't know, you know how he is. He probably doesn't want to hear me whining to him about my feelings.'' You replied, heaving heavily as you picked up the glass of whiskey in front of you. You gulped the final bit in one go, coughing as a result of the scorching sensation in your throat.
''Well, I need to go out for a bit. Don't do anything stupid, okay?'' Tifa chuckled, waving you goodbye as she hurried slowly towards the door.
As soon as you heard the door fall shut behind you, you ran to the toilets. Your head was dangling over the toilet, spewing blood-tinged petals out of your mouth. You felt sick to your stomach. Not just when you saw him, but even if you thought about him for just a second.
The petals covered in blood were floating in the toilet, the sight making you throw up even more. This feeling was crushing you on the in- and outside. Just a few weeks ago, you started throwing up the petals out of the blue. When you searched up what this meant, you found yourself reading all about the 'Hanahaki disease'.
Unrequited love.
Once you read this, you knew for sure, that Cloud didn't feel the same. Everyone tried to reassure you that it was just all in your head, but it didn't change the way you felt.
Your train of thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door.
''It's me. You okay in there?''
You could recognize this voice anywhere. It was Cloud. Of course it had to be him.
''I'm okay, just feeling a little sick today.''
Lies.
''Can I come in?'' He asked, his voice genuinely sounding worried this time. You heard him turning the knob to open the door that you had locked, your eyes widened as tears started streaming down your face. What were you going to say now? Just ask him to go away?
You stayed quiet, not knowing how to reply.
''Are you sure you're okay?''
Again, you stayed quiet.
You quickly wiped the blood and tears away from your face, rubbing your eyes profusely, before unlocking the door for Cloud. His eyes pierced right through you, even though you weren't looking him in the eyes. You held your breath, trying not to throw up again. It was a nightmare, thinking about Cloud seeing you throw up those petals and having to explain what's going on.
''Have you... been crying?'' He furrowed his brows, stepping closer to you, pushing some strands out of your face as you looked down at the floor. ''And what's that in the toilet? Flower petals?''
Your eyes shot up at him, your heart skipping a beat when you realized you had forgotten to hide the evidence.
''It's nothing, don't worry about it.'' You mumbled, slapping his hand away as you quickly flushed down the blood with petals. You didn't turn around as you wanted to avoid any eye contact.
''Hanahaki disease, right?''
Your chest started to hurt even more, making you pant heavily as you thought about all the possible outcomes of this.
Before you could even think of another reply, you felt his warm hands grab you and turn you around. You felt like dying.
You squeezed your eyes shut, holding tightly onto the fabric of your shirt. And to your surprise, you felt his soft and gentle lips against your own. You opened your eyes slightly to look at Cloud with his eyes shut, kissing you passionately. You were frozen in your place.
He pulled his lips away, cupping your cheeks with both of his hands as she sighed. ''I've seen you throw up those petals before.''
''How?''
That was all you could get out right now.
''Were you that sure that my feelings weren't mutual?''
''Yes, you said last time that you weren't interested in any kind of relationship.''
He placed another kiss on your forehead, his face stoic as ever. You chuckled at the sight, Cloud hadn't changed one bit.
''Maybe.. I changed my mind.''

I cannot draw to save my life, so instead of fanart, I've made a meme for @nautilusopus fic The Number I on AO3. You should read it, it's very fluffy and nice and nothing bad happens

an imaginary soundtrack for the excellent piece of fanfiction: @thenumberi by @nautilusopus. currently unfinished (read up to ch 50 at the time of posting) and in need of resequencing, i wanted to share it anyway. mainly a bunch of haunting distortions and psychedelic electronics with an occasional song here and there.
everyone should read the number i by @nautilusopus it's a very good fic where nothing bad happens ever, i promise
just a regular cloud moodboard, nothing to see here
