Late Night Dance - Cloud Strife x Reader

Notice: The song that is linked on here, you can listen to it only if you want to. It wouldn't really make sense in the first part of the story, but as you read further on. It will make much more sense.

"Hey (Name)." You turned around and saw the blonde spiky haired swordsman walk up to you. It was rare to see him greet someone like this since he like being independent. "...Are you doing anything this evening?"

"Hello Cloud." You greeted him back in your usual matter. "I'm not doing anything these days really. What do you want?"

He looked away for a few seconds, seemingly trying to avoid direct eye-contact with you. You noticed his lips move and you heard him say a word or two, but he stopped himself in mid-sentence and shook his head. "Ah... It's nothing."

"Oh come on Cloud!" You walked up to him and placed your arm around his shoulder, trying to comfort him. "Are you wanting to do something?... Come on, spit it out."

Still avoiding your confused gaze, he blushed lightly and sighed. "I was just wondering if you wanted to... you know... watch a movie with me at the theaters." Hearing no response from you, he added more details to his offer. "I know we don't really know each other much. But I was thinking that we should know each other more... I want to know something about you, and I'll do the same if you accept my offer."

You nodded your head in approval and you held his hand promptly and firmly. "Well, let's go then!"

"Wait..." Cloud looked at you directly in the eye. "Y-You're coming with me?"

You nodded your head again and held his hand tighter. "Of course I am! I wouldn't want to miss out on an offer! Especially from you! So come on, let's go. We're wasting precious time standing here!"

For once in his life, he smiled. "...Alright then. Let's make it last."

<><><><><> 1 year later... <><><><><>

You and Cloud have been best friends ever since he joined Smash one year ago. Before you two became great friends, you noticed that he liked being by himself. He was the quiet type that always kept things to himself, but after knowing him for awhile. You knew that Cloud was a friendly guy, he might be stubborn at first, but once you know him, he'll open up and show his true self.

"Hey (Name)." Cloud walked up to you like usual after practices. "I heard that there was special offers going on in the bar tonight. And I was wondering if you wanted to come with me."

You put away your weapon and looked into his electric blue eyes. You couldn't help but blush madly and immediately look away from him. "O-Oh yeah. I definitely can. I don't have any plans this evening anyway."

He smiled at you fondly and locked eye-contact with you, which made you a little bit uncomfortable. But you eased it off and glanced at the clock, which read 4:29P.M. You scanned around and noticed that nobody else was in the practice room. You were looking away from Cloud because number one, he was making you become more vexatious by each passing minute, and two, let's just face it, he's really hot and it's very hard to maintain eye-contact with him. Especially when he smiles.

"Soooo..." You broke the silence and he was still staring at you. "I-I need to do some stuff before we go out and... go to the bar together." You covered your mouth with your hand and blushed at what you just said. He snapped out of what he was thinking of and agreed with you. "O-Ok then. Well, just meet me at the entrance of the mansion and we'll go on from there."

You nodded your head and walked pasted him, you removed your hand from your mouth and started blushing like no tomorrow. You were thinking that this would have been a relevant time to admit your feelings for him, but for some random reason, it felt awkward with him staring at you. He was such a popular guy, you just didn't know if he had feelings for you.
