{Hold my hand}

Midgar
The spikey blonde scratched up was walking out at night only to find a yelling Yuffie scolding at Vincent outside of the Orphanage.
Y: "Quiet you! Give me my materia!", she yells as she keeps reaching from the tall mysterious man in red while he wore the plainest face then looks over at Cloud.
V: "Cloud your back"
Yuffie glimpses over in shock to look over at the spikey blonde.
Y: "Cloud! Your back"
They look at the blonde giving a cold expression as Yuffie was stunned looking at his dirty clothes and scratches on his arm, she lifts a finger.
Y: "Oh! Barret is inside with Marlene and Cid is in his airship again", she says half smirking lifting an eyebrow as a drop of sweat rolls down her head knowing that the blonde was ignoring her as he opens the doors to go inside. As he walks in he sees Tifa leaning on the wall with folded arms thinking to herself as if she was waiting for him, the blonde looked over to see her glare at him from the side of her face.
C: "Uh! Tifa-", he says as he sees her walking over to him
SMACK
Tifa was not happy at all, she had slapped him so hard that his face was looking down to his side with his hair covering his eyes. Behind them lurked a shocked Yuffie where Vincent gazed seriously at the two and grabbed Yuffies shoulder knowing that she would interfere tugging at her as they walk away. The door closes behind the blonde, as he lifted his head with his hair covering his eyes he looked at Tifa who was looking at their shoes. There was a moment of silence between the two until the blonde walks past her heading for the stairs as Tifa stood there facing the door now instead of him. She clutched her hands into a fist as she follows him from behind she tugs at his shirt as he stopped walking up the stairs, she rests her forehead on his back.
C: "...Im tired..", he says to her then continues to walk up the stairs with the redness on his left cheek leaving her behind on the stairs. She hears the door close as she kept looking down at her feet, after a while she walks up the stairs to his room to see him laying on his bed with his arm covering his eyes. She leans back on the door then looks up at him tired staring up at the ceiling.
T: "...You went without telling me"
C: "...I had to go.."
T: "yea? What was your reason this time?"
The blonde didn't say anything it wasn't that he didn't want to he was just too tired to say anything at all. The brunette walks over to his bed kneeling on the floor then says, "Ill help".
The blonde sat down on his bed with his feet on the floor as Tifa who was kneeling down was taking off his shoes then went straight to his collar as their face were pretty close he couldn't help but notice her lips. She unzips his shirt and he grabs her wrist as soon as she reaches for the sides of his collar, her eyes look up at him waiting for him to say something but he didn't instead he took his right hand touching her hair gently from her neck.
C: "...You should cut it..it's long again", he suggested as his eyes weren't looking at her but directly at her lips.
T: "...your right, its long again"
The sound of her voice and watching her lips move made him smile gently then he caresses her cheek letting go of her hair as it falls into place.
C: "...Your mine..", he whispers
Tifa widens her eyes at him
T: "huh?"
C: "..thats why..I left", he continued to gaze at her lips smiling as she continued to look up at him then she gives a warm smile. The blonde lifts her chin as he slowly kisses her, then the brunette slowly gets up sitting on his lap as they continue to kiss. The blonde grabs her waist as Tifa strongly kisses him, suddenly a drop of water fell on his cheek causing him to open his eyes as he let go seeing her crying.
C: "Whats wrong?", he asks as he wipes the tear off her face with his thumb.
T: "...I..", she continues to kiss him passionately making him fall on the bed to his back as Tifa continued to kiss him but the blonde sat up with his elbows pulling away again.
C: "Tifa", he sees her figure on top of him arching over him like a cat then she sat down on his lap as he sat down properly. The brunette looks down with her hair covering her eyes as tears fell down on his pants, he brushes her hair behind her ear and lifts her chin.
C: "Tell me"
T: "...I..I just want you thats all", she throws herself on him as she begins to undress herself causing him to widen his eyes knowing that she is not okay. She continues to kiss him passionately moving their lips together as if she was in a rush, she begins to open his shirt revealing his abs and bruises.
C: "Tifa what are you-", he looks up at her worried then she continues to kiss him again keeping him from saying anything more before he knew it she was on top of him naked looking at her feminine figure and breasts. He narrowed his eyebrows and knew that she wouldn't want to stop so he gave her what she wanted. The brunette was kissing his neck after a while of the bed creaking and the moanings taking place, all the sweat and the kissing it was already midnight. The blonde was laying down looking up at the ceiling as he was before but Tifa was laying on his chest.
C: "...We haven't done this in a while"
T: "...Yea"
They both cuddled together under the blankets as Tifa got up to look at him closely, she touched his left cheek gently as they both looked into each others eyes.
T: "Im sorry.."
The blonde touched her hand on his face and smiles
C: "I deserved it.."
T: "No you don't"
C: "I didn't tell you..and your mine. I should have told you where I was going but..you were hurt I couldn't-"
T: "I know..your good to me", she kisses him slowly once more and tells him, "What you didn't tell me..was that there was another me"
The blonde widened his eyes
C: "uh!...you found out?", he says looking away
T: "Of course silly, Are you going to tell me whats that about?"
The blonde moves his head facing the ceiling again as he sighs
C: "Im not sure exactly...All I know is that shes a clone and she wasn't you, so I set out to look for you"
T: "How did you know?", she looks at him wondering
C: "She didn't have the scar on her chest..", he looks away from her feeling guilty as she widens her eyes.
T: "Wait...did you sleep with her?!", she sits up in a panic covering herself with the blanket as the blonde was stunned.
C: "What?! What if I did?? It would make sense that I thought it was you-"
Tifas face blushed up as her hair stood up, she starts to get out of bed making an angry face as Cloud made an awkward face reaching out to her.
C: "Wait wait wait! Thats not what I meant! I didn't sleep with her!?!", he grabs her shoulder as she continues to cover her body with the blanket making a face looking the other way.
T: "Hmph!", she says as she was sitting down on the other-side of the bed
C: "It wasn't like that?!"
T: "Then how did you find out about the scar?!", she says folding her arms as the blondes eyebrow twitches.
C: "Well.. uh.."
Tifa gets up causing him to panic
C: "Okay! okay okay!! I-uh I took off her shirt!"
Tifa looks back at him making a face again
T: "Oh really??!"
The blonde smiles nervously as a drop of sweat rolls down his head again
C: "uh well I took off her shirt in hopes that it was you", he says continuing smile in hopes that she wouldn't be pissed at him to start swinging.
T: "Mmm except it wasn't!", she punches him down on his head, "BAKA!"
The blonde gives silent tears as he smiles watching her take his blanket then he jumps out of bed as she was walled up against her back to see the blonde hovering her with his arm over her head.
C: "Thats my blanket you know"
T: "hmph!"
The blonde was starting to get annoyed
C: "Why are you hiding your body from me?"
T: "You slept with another girl", she says looking away cheeky. She widens her eyes as he takes the blanket off her body throwing it away revealing her naked feminine figure in front of him as she looks straight at him blushing and he was gazing at her.
T: "MMMM!", she says angry at him
C: "Its my blanket anyways, and so are you", he comments leaning in about to kiss her when he hits his nose against the wall he grabs his nose irritated then looks to his left to find her laughing.
T: "hahahhaha!!", she covers her mouth realizing how annoyed he was then he smiles wide looking at her figure which she realized as she covers her nipples with her arm and her bottom with her other hand.
T: "Hmph! Your not allowed to look anymore you cheater!", she says lookin away as he pulls her arm towards him picking her up by her thighs then she almost fell backwards which caused her to wrap her arms around his neck.
T: "MM! Your teasing me", she says with one eyebrow lifted
C: "Is that bad?", he smiles as their faces are inches away, she looks away as her face was burning red trying to keep from blushing.
C: "Give me a kiss", he tells her only to have her reject him.
T: "No", she pouts
C: "Fine", he says annoyed
T: "Wo-Aw!", she widens her eyes as he picks her up differently throwing her on his bed causing her to bounce a little on her back.
C: "I guess I'll have to make you mine again", he says smirking getting on top of her as she stops him by pushing his shoulder back from getting any closer.
T: "..don't", she said seriously
The blonde backed off as he wanted her to tell him about before, he sits down on the bed facing her.
C: "Are you gonna tell me whats wrong?", he asks as he started to be serious about the situation, the brunette sits up and starts to confess.
T: "...I remember a few things"
C: "oh, Like what?"
T: "Well..things I wanted to forget", her eyelids lower as looking at the comfy bed in front of her.
C: "..Why did you want to forget?"
T: "...They..It was just unpleasant..about us"
C: "...I see", he looks away rubbing the back of his neck then looks at her sad face, he takes her hand aligning their hands so that their palms touch each other.
C: "You see this?"
She looks at their hands
C: "This is how you know you are mine"
T: "Huh?"
C: "That warm feeling you get in your chest when we touch, thats how you know Im yours"
T: "How do you know?"
C: "because mine feels the same way", he smiles at her. The brunette looks up at him as his fingers intertwine with hers.
C: "and this..is how you know I love you", he smiles as she looks at him continuously then she did the same as they intertwine fingers he says, "See? Now I know you love me too".Tifa smiles at this as their hands intertwine together.
