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.
