Final Fantasy & Kingdom Hearts

It was in the middle of the night when Cloud suddenly showed up at her doorstep. And he looked extremely drunk. And as if he’s about to throw up any second. He was slurring out words and even though she understood the words, she had absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. “What? No, Cloud I don’t hate you…” It looked like he was too deep in his apology to pay her any mind, though. “What are you talking about?” She asked again, just when he suddenly fell unconscious. “Cloud?!” Aerith tried to wake him up again, but he kept sleeping. At least he wasn’t throwing up…Despite how heavy he was, she wrapped his arm around her shoulder and dragged him all the way up to her room to put him into her bed.

       Cloud opened his eyes. His head was still swimming but he was warm. It smelled nice here. Floral. Natural. Midgar never smelled like this. Neither had Nibelheim most of the time. Where was he? 

        He remembered one thing, the rest was scattered. “Aerith?”

        He though he remembered seeing her. Those big green eyes looking back at him. Had he dreamed that? No… that’s what this smell was. It smelled like Aerith here. She had to be near by. 

          He blinked a few times and his vision cleared a little. The room was sort of familiar… Aerith’s house? Wait… wasn’t Aerith mad at him? She was mad… he thought he remembered that. That Aerith was supposed to be mad.

          He groaned and tried to sit up but it didn’t feel good. He thought if he kept moving like that then he was going to be sick, so he laid back down. He didn’t want to make more trouble for Aerith…

          He closed his eyes again. “What happened?” He was asking himself but it came out spoken. He didn’t remember much. Which was… normal unfortunately. But the nausea was different. Usually his head just hurt really bad, and he got dizzy. Sometimes the sharp taste of Mako would rise up in his mouth and that would make him feel sick, but not like this. He didn’t taste Mako. He tasted… something stale and bitter. Had he been drinking? That was weird… he didn’t do that much.  Was that why Aerith was mad? No… that didn’t seem right. What was it? His memories squirmed like trying to grab a live fish out of the water. 

          He’d done something… he just had to remember. Maybe Aerith would tell him but… man he wasn’t looking forward to that. Where was she anyway?

Aerith took care of Cloud ever since he passed out on her. When she helped him undress his armor and shoes he was only half conscious, surely he won’t remember anything what happened that night. And surely he will have a hangover once he’ll wake up, so even if it was late at night she started cooking for him.

Pretty sure Cloud will be hungry when he woke up. Sadly she didn’t have much left right now, having planned to go grocery shopping later that day, but she had enough to make a simple soup for him. Will soup help with hangovers?

All the time she wondered what Cloud kept rambling. She could barely hear him as he slurred the words, only that he was sorry. It was early in the morning when she heard Cloud calling for her. Smiling that he woke up, she grabbed the glass of water and the pain killers she prepared and ran up the stairs to her room.

Cloud hummed and nodded at her question, even if she already filled up his glass again. “When do you wann go? I’ll be ready in a bit.” Actually, he was all ready to go right now, but thought maybe Aerith needed a little break from all the walking around.

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “Let’s see…” own glass held between her hands, two steps bring her to the window. “We still have a little time!” judging from the light out, there should be plenty of time before the solar lamps switch to night mode. No need to rush just yet. “So let’s finish our drinks first. Wouldn’t want you to get tired, after all.”

         ˙ Nevermind how, if picking flowers was enough to tire him out, he wouldn’t be cut for daily life - let alone the ex-SOLDIER status that he keeps boasting about. 

Cloud huffed amused, but pretended to be not amused. “I was a SOLDIER, I have tons of stamina, you know. I just want YOU to have a little breather.” All he’s done for her was in her favor, to make sure she was okay. And even IF something like this would tire him out, he’d rather die than show it.

“I didn’t.” He said, maybe a little too fast. Then he slowly turned back to her. “Just wanted to have a look at this place.” This one was the truth. Cloud couldn’t help but step back a little, when the girl came too close to him. It’s not because of her specifically, he just…preferred his space. 

Her question made him frown. He didn’t know Zack knew people from Sector 5. Or…any people from the slums. “Uh, yeah. How do you know him?”

She looks up, pointing at the hole in the roof. “He fell from somewhere and through the roof one day. Then he started coming here to see me whenever he could. “ She  pauses looking back at him. 

Cloud only knew his best friend as a ladies man and not someone who’d settle down with a girl anytime soon. Although with her...it may not be that impossible. She really seemed like a nice girl.

Cloud, ex-SOLDIER now mercenary, went out for the day. It’s very difficult earning enough money in the slums, especially if you care for a friend who’s in a coma, but he’s still doing his best everyday. And today he’s gonna try out his luck in Sector 5.

“Hm hm hm~” Aerith hums away a song as she  carefully gathers some of the flowers she’s growing inside the church,  potting some of them and putting them into the flower cart Zack had made her before he disappeared  and ended up going into a coma. It’s purely thanks to Tseng that she even knows this, the perks of the man thinking her and Zack were dating. 

The rest she  has in  her flower basket.

When Cloud approached the open doors of the church, he heard someone humming inside. He was actually surprised that someone’s there, since there were quite a lot of monsters around this area.

“ ! ” she looked over at the person who had made the noise. “ Oh. You know it’s rude to sneak up on people and peep on them like that.” she stand up  and brushes herself off picking up her basket and walking over to him.   There was something about him that was drawing her to him. And he kind of reminded her of Zack in a way. He had the same  mako infused eyes and- is that Zack’s buster sword?

Her question made him frown. He didn’t know Zack knew people from Sector 5. Or...any people from the slums. “Uh, yeah. How do you know him?”

“So I AM right…” It made him wonder what tasks she had for him now. As long as it’s not walking around the Sectors with flowers it was probably manageable. He did like to help Aerith after all. Cloud put the basket down next to hers and followed her inside. He did as he’s told and sat down, waiting for Aerith to come back with their drinks. “Wanna tell me what it is now, or do you wanna surprise me like you always do?” Did he really have to ask that, though? Of course she’ll surprise him. Cloud was quite sure she enjoyed his reactions when she told him what embarrassing things he should do.

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “Fufu~ What do YOU think~?” she tosses back in response, combined with a sweet little smile thrown over her shoulder - though that smile has led Cloud into troublesome scenarios more than once.

“I think you love pushing me into cold water.” It wasn’t even a surprise anymore. And with the smile she gave him…who knew what’s gonna happen…

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “You’re exaggerating~” No he’s not.

❝Put. those. cookies. down.❞ (from Cloud)

–

Whoops, busted.

And here she thought she’d be able to get away with it scott free. Doesn’t Cloud have anything better to do than skulk in the shadows waiting for her to make her move. She’s been so careful in checking to make sure there was no one about. Defenseless, freshly baked cookies  that just came hot out of the oven left to cool out on the counter? Fu fu fu–how could anyone NOT resist?

They been out for awhile, so they shouldn’t have been good to go right?

WRONG.

So, very wrong. Not even having the time to blow on them, she had quickly devoured the evidence and even though it’s chocolate it’s chocolate that burns your taste buds so you can’t even tell! It’s so hot going down her throat she’s struggling to swallow it, but anything is better than being caught red handed. Even as she held back the tears in her eyes as she turned around with a woeful smile on her face with hands up in the air.

“H…hey…C-cloud. Ha~ What cookies?

Ha….ha….I don’t have any cookies in my hands…”

Internal suffering.
