Against Zack, at that. Because Cloud doesn't do things by half measures. They'd be all "Dude, money's totally on Zack, he's totally gonna wipe the floor with the girly boy." And Cloud would hear it, which would piss him off to the point where he'd totally go full out on Zack and while he STILL wouldn't win he'd impress the fuck out of everyone.
Well of course! It's no fun to start rumors, that's just too easy! It's far harder to STOP rumors!
And meanwhile, someone starts a rumor that SephTifa can't POSSIBLY be true because omg Sephiroth's gay! Totally gay with this little blonde-haired trooper! And then that'd get the CloudTifa shippers all up in arms because OMG that's Tifa's man! Meanwhile, there's this small little OT3 slice of fandom sitting in the corner wailing "Why can't we all just get along?!? They're all so pretty together!"
So true. Someone puts a foot on that stage without her permission she'd kick their ass. *nods wisely*
Hah, are you sure about that? I mean, I've got icedark, knowing shadows, tir synni, hades pheonix, chofi.. and prolly many others cursing my name because I breed bunnies for them faster than they can handle. =D I'm perfectly willing, yes, but think upon what you do. *waggles eyebrows*
