True, it was her first time, but Tifa fought not to laugh at how carefully Cloud was treating her.

It was sweet really. He didn’t hesitate when she went with him to take on Sephiroth, but now he wanted to make sure she was comfortable, wasn’t nervous, and so on.

And he wasn’t just worried about her.

She pushed another giggle down. She knew how easily hurt Cloud would be if she laughed at how he handled his equipment.

“You sure you’re okay? I mean--“

“I'm fine, Cloud. Really. You can start the bike any time.”

Hello, Publication Services!

...Yes.

Oh, I’m sorry about that, sir, you need to speak to--

...I know your promotion was on the news...

...I understand, sir, but--

...You need to talk to the SOLDIER department head--

...We print the Shinra Personnel Directory, but only department heads can update--

I understand, and I’m sorry your entry is wrong, but---

...yes.

...We can’t reprint all 10,000 directories, sir!

...yes, sir, I overrode the system to fix your entry, and I’ll print you a corrected copy, but next time, General Sephiroth, please speak with your department--

...I’m very sorry, sir.

...Goodbye, sir.

Cloud felt heavy and drowsy, but something about Tifa's warm skin against him made it impossible to sleep. Or move. Partly because he wanted to hold on to this almost unbelievable moment, and partly because he'd never shared a bed with anyone, and didn't actually know how to hold her.

Tifa shifted, and Cloud's hand slipped, fingertips brushing her bottom.

"Sorry," he murmured, jerking his hand back.

Tifa started to shake with silent laughter. "Whose bed is this, Cloud?"

"Uh...yours."

"And where are your clothes?"

"On the...uh, floor."

She kissed him tenderly, still giggling. "You don't have to apologize."

During his long road trips, Cloud often marveled at his family. It was an irregular little family, but he and Tifa weren't regular people. The children had complicated pasts as well.

But still. Cloud, looked forward to their smiling faces when he returned home.

This time, however, when he opened the door, Tifa looked exasperated, Marlene looked stubborn, and Denzel looked like he wished he were somewhere else.

"But it's true!" insisted Marlene, turning to him. "Right, Cloud?"

Before he could ask, before Tifa could object,

"I can say I have two mommies and three daddies if it's true, right?"
