"Did that lecture that night mean nothing to you?" "Dilly dally shilly shally. Cloud I know why you ran away before you neede to find your light so that he can't control you like before, but when will you stop running and face your problems. Yes you might have darkness inside of you but that doesn't mean that you belong on that side and it certainly doesn't mean I will give you up without a fight." Cloud looked up at her as she repeated that.... "Cloud its not our abilities that make us who we are but our choices. You chose to fight with this side against Sephiroth you have friends here and me...... isn't that enough?"
"Absurd. Defeating me is meaningless. You know that more than anyone, Cloud. No matter how many times I fall, Your darkness keeps calling me back!" That escaped from Cloud's mouth! Tifa would remember it too.....Cloud gasped as his regular voice came back now....."Tifa....It's gonna happen.....Weather you like it or not....The Light...Won't help me.... He loved her. But this....Was some thing he could never defeat.....His own inner demon....The darkness.....

"Your wrong Cloud it is enough but you just don't want to accept that, and thats not Sephiroth talking but your own fear." Tifa sighed turning to look away as her doubts came back. Did he really love her? Did he even care if something was to happen to her? Why was he saying all this now when afew minutes ago he sounded so sure of what he wanted?"I guess all that talk about me being your light and that I was enough was a lie then…" She couldn't stop those words from coming out. Tifa didn't even realize what she said as she was lost in her own thoughts.

"Don't....That was not me and you know it....And no...It was not a lie....None of it was a lie you hear me? Tifa....Everyone thing we talked about tonight was true. All of it was true....I love you...It's just I might leave you. I never wanted you to know me as a bad guy. I thought I could hide this from you....But...I couldn't. I told you because I love you....And I want to fight this....I'm sorry Tifa....But he some times can take control of what I say.....It's that bad....Please....Please believe me...."

"I don't know what to believe anymore....." Holding her fear back Tifa turned to look at Cloud and into his mako blue eyes. "Could what about what you told me back at Destiny Island? Remember if we wanted to make this work you have to stop running away and you promised me that you will, to leave the past behind or what about the other promise we just made?" She sighed gathering her courage to face him again and waited to hear his answer.

I won't leave you....No matter how bad things may get. You're right. You're right about everything....I want to look forward to our future....I want to live with you when you are 80....Tifa I want this....It's hurting me so bad right now....But...You have to have to be careful around for right now okay....I might snap at any moment....But I promise....I will be right beside your side....I don't care what the others think....Hell, we deserve this....More than any one....You were there right beside me every time I fought Sephiroth.....Don't you realize by now....That you are the Light in my heart?" He hoped that she would not love him any less. That she would remain by his side as she has always been....If she left that would break his soul....And he would most likely turn his life over to the Darkness....

"Cloud..." Tifa paused for a moment thinking about everything that has been said. She looked at him as though she was trying to read between his words. She was still confused and lost between what to believe. "Did you mean what you just said? Please no more lies I shared all my secrets with you so you should do the same. Do you really want this to work and be with me..... you know I won't push you away no matter what happens how can I? I want to be by your side to help but do you want that?" Another pause as she tried to remain calm all this time. "You have to chose. What is it going to be me....... or a memory?"

Cloud sighed. He thought she would never have to ask that to him again. But she did....
"You Tifa." What else was there to be said....? He grabbed her cheek with his hand...And looked into her eyes again with a smile....He was so close that she could touch him just about any where.....Even his eyes glowed with that Mako Energy. To pour out his love to her....They were no longer black....At least not right now...
"So you're saying even with this monster inside me.....You still want to be with me....Man you are brave....Just let me kiss you.....Tifa, I will always love you. No matter what happens....."

Tifa couldn't help but smile as she heard his answer. Even after asking him again he still chose her. "Cloud" He leaned closer and a blush appeared on her cheeks as she looked up at him nervously. "Yes I do love you and I will if you let me....... kiss me" She reached her hand up to his cheek and glanced deep into his eyes "I love you" Now that her feelings were out in the open Tifa knew she couldn't go back they both couldn't after that confession. Now the only thing was to try and move forward now and just leave the past behind.

"Cloud" "Yes I do love you and I will if you let me....... kiss me" "I love you" He said nothing as he just looked at her. And then kissed her....His had slipped around to the back of her head and rubbed his fingers through her hair.....As he kissed her....His eyes closed....He let go as soon as his other hand rested on her waist line.....
"Okay...I'm not ready for that yet...." He admitted....It had to come natural....Romantic....And for Cloud this was not it.....

Tifa closed her eyes as she kissed him and only let her hands fall down to her side, but that kiss only lasted for a few minutes before letting go. "I am not either......" She admitted. She didn't want to ruin what they had by going too fast. This was a big step for both of them to admit their feeling and be together as something more than friends.
" I don't want to go so fast to ruin what we have now..... Can we wait a little longer for that?" She asked nervously pushing her hair to tuck it behind her ear. "I am just happy with were we are being this close is enough for now."

"I am not either......" " I don't want to go so fast to ruin what we have now..... Can we wait a little longer for that?" "I am just happy with were we are being this close is enough for now." Cloud smiled bigger as he was this close. They might not got a lot of sleep....But they sure have opened up to a lot more things tonight.
"Yeah. We can wait. I'm just happy you're not giving up on me yet...What Hojo did to me was bad....Anyone would see that. But, he lost his creation when Zack and I busted out years ago. He lost that fight Tifa....And Sephiroth, can remain dead.....I'm not going to let him run my life....."

"Thats the Cloud I know" Tifa said with a wide smile. He wasn't giving up like before he got the strength and confidence back to face Sephiroth again probably. "Hojo got what he deserved and he is dead now so their is no need to worry about him. And don't worry I won't give up on you... We still have a long way ahead of us, but I think this is a good start." Tifa sat up straight to rest her back but she never diverted her eyes away from him. "So do you feel lighter now with all that dilly dally shilly shally?" She asked with a teas in her tone.

He leaned in and kissed her cheek. As he moved his head away from her....She was right...She was always right...He smiled as she rested her back then....And he too joined her....By placing his head on her stomach to where he could feel her strong heart beating...."Just you and me forever right?" He knew the answer to that question but he wanted to hear her say it...

Tifa smiled at the thought. "Yeah..... together forever that sounds nice" She beamed looking down as he rested his head. If only she had the courage to admit her feeling this before then maybe they could have been together sooner but late is better then never.
Tifa let her hand down and let her fingers slip between his spiky hair and played with it knowing now that he wouldn't mind. Her mind wandered to the past and to the night they spend under the stars. "You know..... if my father could see you now I am sure he would change his mind about you.... you have achieved your dream and became a hero just like you wanted."

"Yeah..... together forever that sounds nice" Cloud smiled as he took one of her hands in his and held it...."You know..... if my father could see you now I am sure he would change his mind about you.... you have achieved your dream and became a hero just like you wanted."
"Well, in that case...I can retire huh?" He teased again...And sighed sweetly as she played with his hair.....He closed his eyes but opened them back up.....His love for her expanded right then. He doubted that her father would see him as a hero ever....But he nodded not looking at her...."I hope your father does....." He too was thinking of what they had to do to see each other.....He remembered the last time he saw her on that cliff.....Was when he told her he was leaving....
