Repentant ;

The party was coming to an end. With the kids already asleep (that included not only Marlene and Denzel but Yuffie, too), and most of the men hopelessly drunk, it left Tifa to chat with Reeve through Cait Sith and Vincent to brood away from the group.It was a miracle he hadn’t gone while nobody was looking.Cloud thought he would have to go and thank him before the inevitable would happen. He had been a great help at the Forgotten City and during their fight against Bahamut SIN.

Honestly, they all had been.

Cloud was nursing his own drink when Nanaki slowly walked up to his side and sat close enough for the blond to put a hand on his head. The kind creature was a bit too prideful to accept being petted by anyone, but Cloud was one of the lucky ones who could run his hand through the bright red fur.

Nanaki hadn’t spoken much since he arrived with Cait - then again, Cloud understood what it was to be of few words. They stayed like this, watching Barret and Cid making fools of themselves, Tifa and the small robotic cat laughing, Vincent not really glaring at them all -

“There is peace in being away from it all.”

Cloud let the words sink in. He could guess they weren’t about tonight’s party, that it was, maybe, Nanaki’s way of telling him he… understood.

“Yeah.”

I miss drawing those two <3

‘  life— the thing that happens to us.  ’

‘  you owe no one your forgiveness.  ’

‘  how’s that for a happily ever after?  ’

‘  silence has always been my loudest scream.  ’

‘  when I die, do not waste a minute mouring me.  ’

‘  “no” is short for “fuck off.”  ’

‘  you shine brighter than all the starlight there has ever been or ever will be.  ’

‘  i bet you regret making an enemy out of me.  ’

‘  we cannot control what we remember  ’

‘  i don’t even believe in people.  ’

‘  it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are  ’

‘  i am a world of uncertainties disguised as a girl.  ’

‘  whatever it is that stirs your soul, listen to that. everything else is just noise.  ’

‘  i like the disaster of the night sky, stars spilling this way and that as if  they were upturned from a glass.  ’

‘  resist much, obey little.  ’

‘  be patient and tough; one day this pain will be useful to you.  ’

‘  i am a dreamer with empty hands and I like the chill.  ’

‘  i deserved someone who was willing to stay  ’

‘  you’re everywhere except right here and it hurts  ’

‘  time doesn’t obey our commands  ’

‘  girls like her were born in a storm.  ’

‘  only the brave and the broken are kind in this world.  ’

‘  people aren’t born sad; we make them that way.  ’

‘  some people are born with tornados in their lives  ’

‘  there is nothing scarier in their minds than a girl who knows the power of her flames.  ’

‘  tell them to be proud of every bit of themselves—  ’

‘  some are made of witchcraft and wolf and a little bit of vice.  ’

‘  these scars have never diminished your worth, they are the stories that make you whole.  ’

‘  and you say you are broken, but broken mirrors like you create the most beautiful patterns of light.  ’

‘  but what could you possibly see in her?  ’

‘  everything, I see everything in her, because the stardust that makes her is the same stardust that makes me.  ’

‘  did you really think she was a tender flower you could trample upon, and damage her very soul?  ’

‘  you clutter my mind  ’

‘  i close my eyes and see infinite galaxies  ’

‘  i long for a life i have control of  ’

‘  and all i have now are memories that feel like dreams  ’

‘  don’t be afraid of getting hurt  ’

who the fuck dressed him in this shit
