Cloud Strife x Reader - You're Wonderful

Chapter 8

(A/N- This picture is legit one of my most favourite drawings of all time like damn)

"Why is it so hot? It's the end of January. It's not meant to be this hot yet!" Not really talking to anyone in particular, you voiced your thoughts as your trudged along the dry desert landscape.

Oh did I say trudged, I'd better explain that. Fenrir had decided it was in fact too hot and died on you and Cloud. The last noise you heard from the large bike was a loud sizzling noise and some spluttering until it came to a rather un smooth and jagged halt, which forced you and your boyfriend to walk. Fun.

"Clouuuuud" you whined at the taller man who was currently pushing the bike along.

"What?" He turned his head to you slightly and answered with a bored tone.

"How long until we get to the next work shop?" You sounded like a tired toddler who hadn't had enough early nights.

"About a day maybe two."

You sighed deeply at his reply and carried on walking. You were a little bit in front of Cloud as, to be fair, he was pushing a giant lump of metal and it didn't exactly look light. No matter how many times you asked to push it for him he would out right reject your offer.

You stopped when you got to a cross roads and waited for Cloud to catch up with you. You knew that you were a fast walker but damn he walked slowly.

As the blonde approached you, you heard the sound of an engine coming closer from the right. Both you and Cloud turned your heads to see what was fast approaching the crossroads. It was in fact a truck and it looked to be going at quite some speed.

You squinted your eyes at the dark vehicle to see that there were people on the back of it. A bunch of guys to be exact, they didn't look too friendly either, like those type of guys you find on the streets trying to act tough and they're all full of themselves.

You crossed your fingers and chanted, "Don't slow down, don't slow down, don't slow down..."

It slowed down. "Oh God save me now" you groaned as it neared where you were standing. You backed up from the roadside slightly and got closer to Cloud for the feeling of protection.

The truck stopped dead in front of you and some of the men wolf whistled. "What've we got here then boys?" One of them shouted. "What's a pretty little girl like you doing all the way out here by yourself?" You felt Cloud shift positions and you could tell he was trying not to loose his temper.

Could they not see the 5'11" man standing directly next to you, who you were currently gripping the sleeve of. Not to mention the oversized bike next to him.

"Its dangerous out here you know, you should come with us for some protection". You cringed at the guy's sentence. You heard the bike stand get kicked out and you knew that the mako eyed man was going to snap soon.

He stepped slightly in front of you and folded his arms. "You have ten seconds to drive away safely before I kick all of your arses". You couldn't believe that they were going to mess with a dangerous looking man with the second biggest sword you'd ever seen, that was currently in pieces in fenrir apart from the main part which was In his belt strap holder thing, but still. That was intimidating enough. Not to mention you were packed out as well.

One of the men jumped off of the back of the truck and revealed a gun in his pocket. "Great here we go, this is why I don't go outside much". You mumbled to Cloud and he smirked slightly.

"I'm guessing you're not going to take that nice option of driving away then?" Your boyfriend said cheekily. This appeared to agitate the guy and he waved a hand signalling for his buddies to follow him towards you.

"Look here friend. Just hand the girl over and we'll be off". Cloud laughed at the mans statement and like a flash of lightning unsheathed his sword and held it to the mans neck.

"Tough luck. She's mine". His voice deepened as he said that last part.

"What the? Did Cloud just verbally claim me...? So, he has a possessive side too huh." You thought as you looked at him wide eyed but, boy did it feel good to here that come from his lips.

The gangster man now looked terrified and rightly so. He probably forgot about the fact that he had a gun in his pants, hell he probably didn't even know how to use it. He turned with a growl and fled back to the truck and drove off.

~~~Time-skip~~~

"Well these past few weeks have been eventful". You broke the silence as you and cloud walked along the roadside.

"Certainly have". He agreed.

You kept walking keeping the same pace as the pointy haired man and remembered what he said back at the cross roads some hours back.

"She's mine". The words rang through your ears like a chime. You smiled at his words and then looked over at him.

His magnificent blue eyes shined in the bright sunlight as you walked along. Those eyes soon came into contact with yours and he asked, "what is it?"

"Nothing~" you sang to him and giggled as you walked alongside him. He looked a little suspicious but brushed it off.

You both walked together, side by side, along the road and simply took joy in being with each other at that moment.
