Innuendo, Serendipity's Glib Companion
Title: Innuendo, Serendipity's Glib Companion
Pairing/Characters: Cloud/Tifa
Team: SOLDIER
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100
Author's Note: Inspired by a single sentence ficlet by freakyhobbins. Remember, she's the clever one.

Sitting at the bar, Cloud internally rehearsed what he planned to say to Tifa. The subject of their relationship was likely to be a touchy one, thanks to what Yuffie succinctly termed his ‘Geostigma Stupidity’. Finesse was required. Unfortunately, he’d never been a smooth-talker, not even when he’d thought he was Zack.

He was going to be sleeping alone for months.

Or so he thought, until closing time revealed that Tifa had plans of her own.

“Give me something hard,” she breathed in his ear, and he all but choked on a combination of eagerness, surprise, and whiskey.

	Okay, I am sitting in the university library trying now to laugh my ass off. Not to mention, you and your cohort are very much responsible for the spittake I almost performed. ^_^ In other words, I enjoyed this. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Woo-hoo! =) She is very very clever indeed -- I was stumped trying to come up with something until I reread her 50 1-sentence ficlets and it jumped out at me. I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^__^ (Reply to this) (Parent)
