Our Unexpected Life 3

Chapter II

After dinner, we clean up and decide to relax. We turn off the lights and go to the bedroom then I decide to have a shower.

“I’m just going to hop in the shower. Okay?” I ask.

“Yeah. Just don’t hurt yourself.” Cloud says, joking.

“I’ll try not to.” I say back rolling my eyes and smiling.

After 20 minutes of a nice, hot shower. I get out and dry myself off. I remember that I totally forgot my cloths, but it doesn’t matter really, its only Cloud and I but he still hasn’t seen me completely naked yet either. I wrap the towel around me then walk out of the bathroom. I see Cloud by his dresser, taking off his shirt, pauldron and weapon holder then he sits down on the end of the bed.

I go to my dresser and pull out a dark purple pair of panties and a dark gray bra. I realize I have no more pajama shirts and only a pair of pajama shorts. Someone bought me them, but I’ll never wear them because they are really ugly and not my taste, so I’m going to give them to Yuffie. I haven’t done laundry in a while cause I got lazy, so I decide to steal one of Cloud’s dark blue zip up sweaters. They have no sleeves and they are baggie, but I’m glad I’m wearing a bra.

“Cloud. I need to borrow one of your shirts. Is that alright?” I say, walking over to his dresser.

“Yeah.” Cloud says, quietly. 

I look over and I see him with his elbows on his knees, slouched over and head down, and now he is starting to worry me. I grab one of his shirts and zip it up, he has like three other shirts, and then I walk over to him and stand in front of him.

“You sure you’re ok? You’re starting to worry me babe.” I say in a concerned voice. 

Cloud sits up and looks at me, noticing what I’m wearing then he looks up at me in the eyes.

“Yeah, yeah. I’m alright. I’m just thinking.” Cloud finally says.

I decide to sit on him. I put my right leg on his left side and my left leg on his right side, straddling his lap. He puts his hands on my lower back, holding me up and I put my arms around his neck.

“You sure?” I say, concerned.

“Yeah. I’m sure.” He says.

He kisses me. After a minute though, I feel a sharp pain in my chest right where the stab mark is.

“Ugh” I say pulling away.

I put my right hand over the cut, putting my head down and closing my eyes. I feel Cloud put his lips to my forehead gently kissing it.

“You ok? Hon?” Cloud asks.

I don’t respond and I feel his right hand leave my back then feel it under my chin and tilts my head up.

“Destiny?” Cloud asks.

I open my eyes and look up at him. He notices that I’m in pain.

“Are you alright?” He asks again.

“Ugh… I don’t know. The stab mark is hurting. A lot.” I say, uncomfortably. 

“How much?” Cloud asks.

“Like a thousand stabbing knives.” I say.

Cloud is silent for a second, taking his hand down. I look him in the eyes and they look like their back to being close to royal blue.

“Let’s see.” He says.

I sit up and lean a bit back. Cloud brushes my hair out of the way, putting it behind me then grabs the zipper and slowly pulls it down. He zips it down till the zipper is just above my belly button and one of his fingers brush my abdomen which makes my stomach flinch because his fingers were cold. He smiles then looks at the stab mark.

“That’s odd.” Cloud says. I notice his smile disappeared instantly and I swallow hard.

“What?” I ask.

“Get up and lay down.” Cloud orders.

I stand up and the pain comes again making me almost fall, but Cloud catches me by my waist and left arm. He helps me to the bed and lays me down then opens the shirt back up and looks at it for a second.

“It’s… bleeding a bit.” Cloud says, confused.

“What? How is that possible?” I ask.

I look down slightly. I see the mark, its still healing but its just skin. Around the whole cut, it is kind of bleeding in some places.

“I’ll be right back.” Cloud says, getting up.

“Okay.” I say, closing my eyes.

After a few minutes, I hear a door open then close.

“You ok?” Cloud asks, softly.

I hear him come beside me, kneeling on the floor and he gently touches me cheek and I open my eyes. 

“Huh hu.” I say, slightly nodding.

Cloud looks at me softly for a second then leans over and gently kisses me. After he looks at the cut and grabs the cloth then I close my eyes again.

“This may sting a little.” Cloud says, then I feel the cloth on top of the cut. 

It feels very warm. Cloud gently cleans the cut, and then puts a bandage on it. I feel the sides of the shirt tug then I hear the zipper zip up.
