Characters: Cloud and Tifa.
Progess: Ongoing.
Summary: Cloud takes Tifa on a date.
Location: Luca.

Warnings: Wibbles, overload of romance, possible angst.
Note: Sorry it's late, Pied. I got sick. :(


It was their first date since Tifa had come back from the Lifestream... and their first date for quite some time. With children, pets, jobs, battles and everything else in between, Cloud and Tifa rarely got time alone together. They had a few minutes before they both passed out for the night and perhaps a little while in the morning, but they needed this. It was a chance to be together and not worry about anything or anyone but each other. A chance to just be happy together. They deserved it.

Cloud had booked a table at a fancy restaurant in Luca's bustling city, he'd dressed up nicely for his fiancee and he planned to make the night something she'd be thinking about for weeks. Checking on each of the children before leaving, Cloud leaned against Fenrir as he waited on Tifa to be ready. The restaurant was across the other side of Luca, it was better they drove. Besides, it was always funny watching the city dwellers freak out at his bike.

"Yeah... that's true." Tifa nodded thoughtfully. She paused to smile and thank the waiter, suddenly realising that she was hungry. "I think... yeah, why not? We've put it off for so long. When do you think we should get married, Cloud?"

She started her meal, smiling at Cloud as she waited for his answer. It felt good to be able to ask that question. Good to move forward.

Cloud shrugged lightly. Wasn't wedding stuff more the girl's thing? But he didn't want everything to be planned around him without his input. "Hmm... December? Or is that too early?"

He didn't know how long it took to plan a wedding. Probably a couple of weeks, right? "Where will we even get married?" He didn't know if the church was still in the ruins of Midgar, but that was where he'd hoped to be married if he ever got there.

"December..." Tifa nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, we can do that. It'll be a rush to book a venue, but - yeah, let's do it! I know there's a church in Lindblum. It's not too far, it'd be convenient for everyone to get to..."

She trailed off, looking at Cloud for his opinion.

Cloud nodded at her suggestion, a small smile on his face. He was axcited. This was something they could do and prove to everyone that their bond was that strong, even through the hell they'd faced both alone and together.

"The church in Lindblum sounds perfect. Especially now the Rooks have been removed." It would be a relief for him to get married and not feel like he was going to throw up.

She nodded again. "Yeah, I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise. I'll find out when they're free. You just leave it all to me, Cloud. I can arrange this."

Bless him, she loved Cloud, but she didn't think he'd be much good at organising a wedding. He'd probably be better off just doing as he was told.
