Summary
When they cross paths, Cloud avoids him, making up excuses about courseloads and upcoming midterms. Sometimes, Zack simply wishes him well; other times, Zack’s eyes fall, just barely, and Cloud feels what he thinks could be heartbreak.
After the first week, he accepts that he’s gay. He had a crush on Kaison, that’s it. He starts to hang out with Zack again. His heart grows when Zack makes them breakfast, it stutters when Zack puts coffee in a tumbler for Cloud to take with him to his morning classes, mentioning Cloud’s stress over midterms last week.
A month after Cloud accepts he’s gay, he’s forced to admit he has a crush on Zack.
A week after that, he realizes he’s in love with him, and everything seems to fall apart.

Summary
Prince Cloud of Nibelheim has always been alone. His father died when he was young, and his mother cares for the kingdom more than anything else, leaving him by himself.
Ever since Cloud came of age, his mother has been trying to set him up with ladies from other kingdoms, wanting to find a future queen for Nibelheim. Cloud finds that he doesn’t want to find a queen, and so the prince makes a game of rejecting suitors, being harsh and bratty to every woman who approaches him. Though, Cloud knows one day he will have to quit his game and find a lady to rule at his side.
What's best for the kingdom that will one day be his own may not be what's best for him, and the handsome Prince of Gongaga forces Cloud to reconcile with that fact much sooner than he had intended to, but love and duty hardly ever agree, and Cloud must make a difficult decision between what his heart and his kingdom want. -

Summary
On Cloud Strife’s fifth birthday, he got his soul-mark. A scar across his skin to match one other person’s. No two people have the same soul-mark, to find your soulmate you have to find the person whose mark completes yours. Each person gets a smattering of stars across their skin, half a constellation, that would be completed by another person’s.

Summary
It was raining in Midgar, again. Another drab, gray day in this godforsaken city
As Cloud's walking to work, some asshole on a motorcycle zips past, full speed, right through a puddle. This, of course, splashes disgusting polluted rainwater all over Cloud. Cloud barely catches sight of the guy, just sees his purple and black helmet.
Later, after the morning rush, Cloud looks up to see who just walked in and-
Fuck, he’s hot.
And holding a purple and black motorcycle helmet.
