Always by your side (Cloud Strife x reader) Final Fantasy 7 remake Book 1

Chapter 13

Cloud's POV

Breathing, all I heard was someone breathing with a relax breathing.  I felt some water drops hit my face before I started to get up real slowly before I looked down to see (Y/n) was the one that was breathing slowly and relax.  I made sure that I get up slowly to make sure that I don't hurt her, I was looking up a bit before looking straight ahead to see both Tifa and Aerith on the floor unconscious.  I was fully standing up before I heard a noise from the distance, I reached my hand to grabbed the handle of my sword to check my surroundings.

I noticed a big square hallway was pitch black besides the little lights that are on the ceiling, "Where in the...?" I whisper to myself.  I put my arm down away from my sword before I started looking around my surroundings again to see that we were in the sewers before I smell the sewers smell, I put my hand close to my face a bit before putting my hand down again, "Damn, it reeks." I said to myself.  I turned around to see (Y/n)'s body was still unmoving, so I started to reached down to her level before I started shake her a bit before calling her name out, "(Y/n), can you hear me?" I asked (Y/n).

I decided to lean my head on her chest to hear any heartbeats.  (Y/n) only had a good heartbeat, but I decided to pump her chest a bit to help her get her up, so I started to pump her chest a bit before I see her (e/c) eyes were looking at me before I see her hand was reaching towards my face, I lean in her hand before I started talking to her, "You okay?" I asked (Y/n).  (Y/n) looks at me before telling me, "Yeah, just a little dizzy from that fall, by the way Cloud, thanks for helping me out, you know when we all fell from Corneo trap." (Y/n) said to me.

I just looked at her before telling her, "You're welcome, I just knew that I have to help you because you are special to me, oh and don't tell the others, I said that to you." I said to (Y/n) with a little smile on my face before I dropped it back to a little serious face.  (Y/n) just smiles at me before I grabbed her arm and help her up from the floor before I noticed (Y/n) was looking around the sewer before she started to smell the area, "Of course it has to smell like the sewers." (Y/n) said to herself.  (Y/n) just looks at me before looks at both Tifa and Aerith before she starts walking to Tifa.

I followed behind her before me and (Y/n) got down on one knee before me and (Y/n) started to call Tifa's name out, "Tifa?" We called out Tifa's name out.  We heard Tifa was starting to wake up because we heard her groan and she started to move her body up before she moves her head to look at me and (Y/n), "Cloud... (Y/n)..." Tifa called our names out in a unsure tone.  Tifa was still looking at us before she started to raise her voice a little loud, "We have to get back to the slums—right now!" Tifa said to us with a panic in her voice.  Me and (Y/n) just nod our heads before telling Tifa, "Yeah." We said to Tifa.  Tifa looks to her left and we turned our heads to our left to see Aerith still unconscious, "I didn't wanna drag Aerith into all this..." Tifa said to us.

I was still looking at Aerith before I started talking to Tifa, "She'll understand." I said to Tifa.  (Y/n) started to get in this conversation as well, "Cloud's right, Tifa.  Aerith would understand of what is going on or what's happening." (Y/n) said to Tifa.  Tifa looks at us before she started asking us something, "How do you three know each other?" Tifa asked us.  Me and (Y/n) looked at Tifa before telling her, "Me and (Y/n) saved her, she saved us... Round and round it goes." I said to Tifa.  I started to stand up, so did (Y/n) and Tifa before Tifa kept asking us about Aerith, "And...that's all there is to it? Sure there isn't something else going on?" Tifa asked us.

Me and (Y/n) were unsure about Tifa's question but before we could say anything to Tifa, we heard a groan noise from our left before we looked to our left to see Aerith getting up, "Dammit." Aerith said to herself.  I noticed (Y/n) was looking around the area before I could asked her what was wrong, we all heard a loud growling noise before we heard Aerith made a gasp noise.  All of us were looking in all directions to see where the noise was coming from before (Y/n) was looking at the big square hallway before I noticed she grabbed her guns out and started pointing at it.  Something was coming and of course we noticed a big monster was coming out from the big square hallway.
