I'm fairly certain people noticed the little corner in Advent Children where Denzel and Marlene’s drawings of Tifa and Cloud were placed—had to sneak that into this illustration, LOL.

pairing: cloud strife x barret wallace x tifa lockhart x jessie rasberry x wedge x biggs x gn!reader

tags: member of avalanche!reader, friendly romantic rivalry, wholesome fluff, the trio falls for you first (barret & tifa later)

you're the newest member of avalanche and you've quickly got everyone's eyes on you. even from the people who really weren't looking for love–

biggs, wedge and even jessie are the first to take a liking to you. that trio is quick to point out how attractive you are. and while they joke around about eventually falling for you, it happens quicker than they were expecting–

wedge falls in love with your kindness. you always tend to his cats with him and those quiet moments really mean a lot to him

biggs and jessie fall for your looks first, but that kind heart of yours and that cute laugh eventually solidify their crushes on you!

barret always notices them whispering to themselves about you, even overheard their jokes and remarks about liking you. but he's really not looking for love, nor does he think that they should focus on love of all things right now

well, barret ends up falling for you just as bad as the other three, if not worse! seeing how much marlene likes you and how gently you treat her just makes his heart yours in an instance!

and then there's tifa. she's one to always give the others advice about you, but she tries to not get involved in all of that too much. she has no intentions of falling for you as well

but eventually, even tifa's heart is yours. once you've become a good friend to her, she slowly opens up more to the idea of loving you, as she ponders what the others are seeing in you

and then, there's that ex-soldier turned mercenary that comes around to aid avalanche: cloud! and once avalanche sees him flirting with you, they grow quite jealous…

And in a thousand voices, only a few remotely humanoid, the being screams, says, whispers, sings: Luke!!! Cute-small-baby :) you forgot your lunch.

It's up to us to find our own purpose.

I mean, who says it's gotta be one way?

Everyone's sitting back, acting like the world's doomed, but the future's not set in stone.
