Loving Eyes

It had been two months since meteor almost completely destroyed the earth,
things had returned to normal for the most part and everyone was doing well.
Barret moved to Cosmo Canyon with Red XIII to give Marlene the best education
he could as Red was studying the planet and was traveling all over the world.
Yuffie went to Wutai and opened a materia shop and a fighting school to train
all the people in Wutai. Cid returned to Rocket Town to fix the Tiny Bronco
and had already gone back into space where he proposed to Shera. Vincent
moved to Junon Harbor and was Reeve's bodyguard, Reeve was the building
commissioner and was gonna try to rebuild Midgar, without mako reactors of
course.
It seems like everyone had found something to do except Cloud and Tifa who
moved in to Cloud villa in Costa del Sol. Tifa worked at the beach owning a
small shop, and Cloud really didn't have any one job, but always kept himself
busy with something.
Tifa had asked Cloud to go to the Gold Saucer with her once and he had
declined saying the mayor had asked him to go help the local patrol with a
monster they had all had a problem with, but Tifa wouldn't give up and
decided to give it another shot.
"Cloud, ummm.... do you wanna maybe do something tonight" Tifa asked shyly,
almost turning red from just asking. Cloud, who didn't really seem to notice
said, "Sure Tif, you name it."
Cloud, who was wondering why she was so red, asked, "Hey Tif have you been in
the sun to long, you're all red. "Tifa who put her hands on her cheeks to
hide the redness, just bowed her head and kinda gave a nod. "Well, anyway,"
Cloud continued, "Why don't we just rent a movie and hang out at my place."
"Well, I thought maybe we could go out, maybe to the Gold Saucer and see a
new movie, I heard they opened a new 24 screen theater, and added tons of new
rides, come on Cloud, it will be fun," she said, as she gave him a quick
smile before she gave him a kind of sad look.
"Well, why not" he answered, "I haven't been out in awhile." Tifa
instantly
gave a squeal of delight and gave him a quick hug before she ran towards the
villa and disappeared inside.
At about Eight O' clock Cloud and Tifa were driving their car towards the
Gold Saucer. Arriving soon after, Cloud insisted on paying the lady at the
ticket booth and they were soon inside.
"So whattya wanna do first?" Cloud asked, "How about the Wonder Square?"
Tifa said, "Sure, betcha 10 gil I beat you in the snowboard game." "You're
on!" Tifa said as they hurried to the tunnel, "Last one there is a rotten
egg!" Tifa said as she pulled ahead and jumped into the tunnel. "Hey, no
fair!" Cloud said as he hurried after.
"Well I'm ten gil richer," Tifa said triumphantly as they walked down the
tunnel to the new theater, "Beginner's luck," Cloud mumbled, but before Tifa
could say anything Cloud grabbed her hand, "Hey Tif, uh, how about a ride on
the new Gondola?" "Umm, sure Cloud" Tifa said mildly confused, but excited
at the time.
They walked hand and hand to the Gondola. As Cloud released her hand to buy
tickets, Tifa brought her hand up to her chest and put it on her heart, maybe
I should tell him she thought.
Tell him what.. that I love him, but what if he wants to be with Aeris or any
of the millions of other woman that he had gotten as fans for leading the
team that saved the world? Cloud interrupted her thoughts by taking her hand
and leading her into the gondola.
As the ride started Tifa wondered why they were the only one's on the ride,
there was usually 10 people per ride, "Hey whatcha thinking?" about Cloud
asked. "Huh? Oh nothing really," she said; she was actually happy to have a
chance to be alone with Cloud. It didn't seem to happen very often.
"Tifa," Cloud said "umm, I really need to talk to you about something."
"Hmm, what is it Cloud?" He started to say something, but his mouth closed,
and he looked up into her eyes, wow he thought to himself, she has the most
beautiful eye's I've ever seen.
Actually, she looked absolutely breathtaking tonight in a soft blue dress and
shoes that matched. Cloud noticed Tifa was staring back, as he wondered what
she was thinking about.
God, I could stare into his eyes all day, Tifa thought. They were light blue
like the summer sky, but more beautiful than anything in the world. She
noticed he had also dressed nicely for the occasion as one of his trademark
spikes fell across his face making him look even more handsome by the moment.
They sat looking for a second, but before she could ask what he was gonna say
he came forward and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her till she
was only centimeters from their lips touching. "I love Tifa," he whispered
as tears ran down his cheeks, he didn't really even know why he was crying,
but all the year's of loving her finally surfaced as he held her close
wondering what she would say in return.
"Cloud.. I .. I've always loved you," she said, wrapping her slender arms
around his neck, not wanting the moment to ever end. She rested her head on
his chest as she spoke, "Cloud I've wanted to tell you ever since I saw you
again at the train station in Midgar. I thought I lost you forever and I .. I
couldn't bear to live without you, I love you Cloud Strife."
And as their lip's met fireworks started going off outside as if the heavens
were rejoicing and they parted Cloud said, "Hey Tif look out the window."
Tifa curiously peeked her head around to the window and looked out, and she
soon fell back, wrapping her arm's around Cloud's neck and started crying
tears of joy and bliss as she said,
"Yes"
"Cloud, I will marry you," and as Cloud got on a knee and slipped a
beautiful gold ring set in diamond's and a burgundy ruby in center, he said,
"As soon as I saw it, I saw your beautiful eyes and decided I couldn't live
without you," she hugged him tight and said, "Cloud, I love you so much."
He put a finger to her lips and whispered, "I know, you don't have to say a thing," as he brought his head towards hers
and pressed their lips together. And the fireworks exploded and outside
written in the fireworks and easy to see were the words:
"Tifa will you marry me." As they started to slowly fade away, Cloud was
hugging Tifa as close as he possibly could and they watched the fireworks in
each other's arms, and both just stared at each other with:
