Summary
Cloud Strife.
To the world, he was an athlete who’d accomplished so much so early into his career, breaking records and defying odds—but to Tifa, he’d always be the boy next door.
-
Cloud sat back, letting head fall against his locker, and let out a slow exhale as Tifa’s lyrics floated through him.
Tifa.
Her first album had always been his favorite. Maybe because the country lilt in her voice made it easier to remember how she looked at fifteen, her red eyes sparkling as she declared that she wanted to share her music with the world.
-
(Or: the Popstar Tifa and Football Star Cloud AU no one asked for.)

Summary
Last night, even if he hadn’t said the words out loud, there was no doubting his suspicion of her. He didn’t even really look at her, but she didn’t need to see the wariness on his face. She didn’t want to.
She thought she’d given him the space to trust her when she stopped pressing him on his life after leaving Nibelheim, but he hadn’t given her the same grace.

Summary
He knew he wasn’t in any real pain, but everything hurt because all he could see was her falling.
Off the ledge, into the depths of the mako below. Off of Sephiroth’s blade, tumbling down the stairs, blood seeping from her chest. Off the cliffside of Mt. Nibel.
She was always falling, and he was never there to save her. Not when it mattered most.

Summary
She knows her father hadn’t been lying when he said that Uncle Howard wanted her to keep an eye on Steve, but if this was simply about protection, he wouldn’t have put her on the line at all. Especially not with all of the heat Steve Rogers is getting from the other Families, which means that her uncle has another reason for Natasha to be involved.
He just won’t tell her what it is.

Summary
“You know, there’ve been a few times these last few months where I thought you wanted to chuck something at me,” he says, voice light, and despite herself, she cracks a smile and manages a little bit of a laugh, too. “But I figured it was because I was arguing with you. Now I’m thinking you just don’t like my face.”

Summary
“Really?” Finn laughs, grinning wide, way too wide, and Poe would like to say he’d prefer Finn amused rather than annoyed, but he doesn’t really appreciate how much his best friend seems to revel in how much he wants to know. “We’re still on that?”
“Yes, we’re still on that.”

Summary
“I wasn’t sure if I should’ve woken you.”
“I’m glad you did,” she whispers against his neck. “I felt—” Trapped. She felt completely trapped in her nightmare, unable to move, to breathe. She can’t bring herself to say the word, but she knows Steve understands her, anyway.
He always does.

Summary
“Later.” She strokes her finger over the stubble along his jaw. “Later, we’ll have all the time in the world.”
His smile is slow, almost reluctant, and she knows it’s because he likes to hear those words—likes to remember that it’s true—even though she’s using it as excuse to say no.

Summary
“It can’t be that important to save if we haven’t needed it yet,” she points out.
He tilts his head. “There’s nothing wrong with being a little sentimental. I know the only thing you used to collect in your old apartment was dust, but—”
“Alright, you ass,” she cuts him off, unable to keep from grinning as she shoves his shoulder, and he laughs as he heads back inside the house.

Summary
“I figured the more I got the hang of this ruling thing, the more time I’d be able to squeeze in to see you,” he admits with a chuckle and a shrug of his shoulders. It seems as if he’s embarrassed by his confession, but she knows better. She knows him. He doesn’t see any point in shying away from the truth.
She reaches over to slide her palm against his, threading their fingers together, and he lifts the back of her hand to brush her lips to her skin in a kiss. “It’s hard to balance,” she agrees, voice soft. “But it’s also worth it.”

Summary
His smile softens, concern touching the edges once more as he lifts a hand to cup her cheek. “Still feeling nauseous?”
“No. I’m alright now.” She leans into his touch, turning to brush a kiss to his palm and murmur against his skin, “But a bath sounds perfect.”
