Cloud Strife x Reader - You're Wonderful

Chapter 9

(A/N- I'm legit both Cloud and Zack combined in this picture  Zack's smile is gonna haunt me in my sleep though T^T)

"Cloud!"

"...what?"

"Look!"

He stared blankly at you and then followed down along your arm to where your finger was pointing. "Is that a-"

"Yes!! It's a mechanic shop!! Finally!! Thank the Gods!!"

You had been walking for about one and a half days since your last encounter at the crossroads. You were hot, tired, thirsty, hungry and extremely glad to find this place.

You grabbed Cloud and picked up the pace slightly hoping to get a cold drink of water. The fact that your clothes were mostly dark/back didn't help too much either.

You looked over to Cloud as you were walking. "How is he still alive?" You thought taking in his attire. Fully black clothing and he still had his gloves on! What the hell Cloud?!

You approached the mechanic shop and Cloud parked the bike and you both walked inside. Cloud went over to the owner and told him about the bike and the owner agreed to lend him some tools to use to try and repair fenrir.

He was very kind to you both and allowed you to have some glasses of water and food. God you loved food. Best thing ever invented - apart from Cloud of course (wink wink).

~~~~Time-skip~~~~

You went over to Cloud as he 'messed around' with fenrir while trying to fix it. You didn't have a clue about anything to do with mechanics and fixing things. It was alien to you.

You crouched down next to him and wrapped your arms round your knees. "How's it going?" You asked him.

"Good", he didn't look up from what he was doing instead he leaned past you to pick up a spanner. You caught a sniff of his scent.

"God he smells nice" you thought, "and after walking for all that time too".

"I'm sorry?"

You looked up at Cloud and he was looking at you with a confused expression. "Huh?" Was the only thing you could respond with.

"You said something" he spoke, "I didn't catch what you said".

"Oh... I didn't realise I started speaking hahah I was thinking".

He went back to what he was doing. "What about?"

"Woah Cloud, careful, slow down. You might strain yourself if you actually try to make conversation for once". You chuckled at your thoughts and told him what you were thinking about.

"I was just thinking about how you still sme-". You stopped and remembered what you were about to say.

"How I still what?" He continued to fix fenrir but when you didn't reply he stopped and looked at you. You were blushing.

"How you still smrph g*cough*ood" you make sure to mumble and muffle the last bit hoping he'd stop prying but no. Cloud just had to be in a mood to find out what you were saying.

"You're mumbling so I'm guessing it's embarrassing for you" he stopped and placed the tools to the side and turned to face you. "That just makes me want to find out what you're saying even more". He smirked at you and got closer.

You blushed and gulped but got he courage to continue again. "I was thinking about how you still smell great after all that walking". You boldly spoke.

He looked taken back for a second then flicked you lightly on the nose and stood up helping you up afterwards. "Well that's good to hear. Thank you".

"You're very welcome dear boyfriend of mine". You were more comfortable now that you'd gotten that out of the way and he seemed to take it well.

You stood back from fenrir a little and Cloud started it up. He sighed happily in relief and you clapped your hands together. "Yes you did it Cloudy!!"  You exclaimed "you're so fabulous~"

He smiled at you and turned the engine off. He walked over to you and gave you a quick kiss on the forehead and walked into the shop to return the tools and thank the man for letting him use the equipment. Then you were off again, but this time you were in a bike and not practically dying.

-----Time-Skip-----

You'd stopped on the edge of a cliff because Cloud needed to go through his voice mails as, you know, he never picks up the phone.

You, meanwhile, were stretching your legs and thought you'd get some target training in. You pulled out a knife and held the blade, pulling your arm back so that it was aligned with the right/left side of your face. You stretched your other arm out to pinpoint the target.

Just as you were about to throw the knife Cloud called you and threw off your concentration so your throw looked like amateur work and the knife landed hilt first on the ground. You spun your head round and glared at him.

"Thanks for that Cloud" you dead panned across at him and walked over to the spot were your fail of a throw landed and picked the knife up.

"Sorry" he mumbled so you could just about hear him. You strolled over and ruffled his hair and sat on the bike behind him. "Silly boy" you chuckled, "what did you want anyways?"

He got back on topic and replied, "I got a voicemail from Tifa saying Reno called and wanted to talk to me about something. So, we're gonna have to make a slight detour from home."

Your lips formed an 'oh' shape as you rested your head on his shoulder pad (thing idk). "Okay~", you said in a sing song voice.

"I'm just gonna say one thing though before we get there."

He turned his head slightly as he seemed to have a spark of interest in what you were about to tell him.

"Whenever I see Reno he literally never fails to flirt with me. Juuuust thought I'd tell you that before we got there and you ahaha yeah y'know..."

You trailed off toward the ending as you didn't want to say anything that might 'offend' the blonde man. He chuckled at your words and revved the engine up.

"Yeahhh, I know. I won't do anything overly protective of you."

"Hahah thank you Cloudy~"

You sat up slightly and pecked his cheek and wrapped your arms around his middle. You then drove away to go and see what Reno wanted.
