walking out into the daylight was even enough for cloud. costa del sol was just so— lively. he sighed as he watched you, aerith, and tifa skip along to the dressing rooms, the two girls dragging you along by your wrists while you all giggled. he should’ve just insisted that they moved along like barret had said, he thought.

he kept his head down as waited for you near a corner, keeping his head hung low as he detested his swim trunks, cursing the sun for such a hot day.

it felt like forever before a faint, “cloud!” hit his ears. hearing your smile even evident in your voice, he turned his head to the shore as he spotted you under an umbrella, sat comfortably on a striped towel.

his eyes roamed your figure, unable to to give even a small wave back once he gawked at your bathing suit. your waist exposed with the top you wore, only the tied back visible to him while the coverup hugging against your hips, the sheer material revealing your bottoms underneath.

unsure of what to do, cloud looked around before he turned around and faced the other way, not wanting anybody to see his tinted ears. he closed his eyes, taking shade behind a small palm tree as he pretended he didn’t hear the soft footsteps against the sand approaching him.

“i know you hear me calling for you, y’know.” cloud heard you giggle behind him. as he turned around slowly, he finally got a good look at you. just the exposure of skin made his cheeks flush with an even brighter red, his ears an even deeper color.

making a sound of surprise at your advances, he awkwardly leaned back while you yourself leaned in and tilted your head. “well?”

“‘well’.. what?”

“are you gonna stop ignoring me?”

“i’m not—just..” his body tensed as his eyes kept managing to flicker over your body in their own, his eyes alternating between your face and your hips where he could see the skimpy bottoms you wore snug against you under the thin coverup.

you leaned in closer, hands behind you back as you flashed cloud a toothy grin. you watched as his wide eyes flickered down to your lips. he felt a small wave wash over him, his bare chest tensing at the gentle hand you put on it. crap, was he sweating?

your sweet smile didn’t help. his eyebrows furrowed, he knew what you were doing. you knew what you were doing. but he didn’t pay much mind to that when your honeyed voice chimed, “i’ll wait for you under the umbrella, okay?”

“okay.” he gulped, watching your hips sway as you made your way back to your original spot, meeting up with aerith as she gawked over your outfit. mako tinted eyes followed you until you were a distant figure, watching as you twirled and giggled with aerith.

cloud’s breathing became shallow as he sighed— unsure if it was a breath of relief or frustration. his eyes trailed downwards when he noticed his trunks got tighter, letting out an exasperated groan as he rushed to the nearest bathroom, eager to rush back to you after he’s done.

only then did he turn around and become face to face with tifa, red eyes crinkled in a teasing manner while she looked at him. “cloud—!” she sang— and if cloud could die right now, he would. “where you headed off to?”

“just the restroom.”

“didn’t i see you go a few minutes ago?”

he internally facepalmed, eyes drifting off to the side with uncertainty. what could he say to that? besides the next words that embarrassingly tumbled out of his mouth, “just a—small bladder, i guess.”

as if the quizzical look on tifa’s face wasn’t enough proof that she didn’t believe him, dragging him by the wrist certainly was. cloud stifled a sigh as the polyester of his trunks rubbed against him a little too much with an extra far step over a sand hole. he averted his gaze as he saw you and aerith chatting it up under the umbrella, bare legs splayed out before you as you listened to the calls of the sea.

“wow, cloud! nice outfit!” aerith cheers, turning towards cloud with an extended finger as she giggled. he watched as you turned around, lowering your sunglasses a bit as you gave him a smug half-grin. gulping, he opened his mouth again hesitantly to try his best to excuse himself once more, his problem growing more and more obvious with how long he stared at your exposed skin.

but before he could get a word out, he heard a cheery, “hey, tifa! i heard marlene saying something about wanting us to bring her back some seashells—! wanna go look for some?” and before cloud knew it, tifa and aerith ran along to the shore, eyes immediately keen on any glimmering seashells that stood out against the sun— leaving cloud with you.

poor boy didn’t get a chance to even get a word in before you flashed him a small smile and held up a white and blue bottle. he couldn’t even focus on a word you said when your gloss was shining so well with the fluidity of your lips, their languid movements dragging his attention away from the sound of your voice before he felt another wave wash over him. whether that was the suns fault or yours wasn’t specified in his mind before he noticed you had stopped talking.

“huh?” he asked.

your eyebrows furrowed as your smile grew wider. “i asked if you could spot me with some sunscreen.”

once again, another mortifying moment for cloud and his trunks. his mouth gaped open and closed a small bit before he finally sighed and mumbled, “i really better go and s—“

“c’mon, you want your girlfriend to burn to death out here?”

your insistent words didn’t help his problem, your voice teasing as he focused on the way the word ‘girlfriend’ rolled off your tongue. he had no choice—except he actually did despite saying that he didn’t—but to take small steps towards the towel, ducking under the small umbrella and taking a seat behind you.

he was so aware of everything now with the hard-on in his trunks more embarrassing than ever. the sand beneath his feet and on the back of his thighs, the way your back glistened with the unwavering heat of the island shining down on you, the way he hesitantly grabbed the sunblock bottle from your soft hands.

he squirted some into his palm, the foreign feeling of a bare hand made his eyebrows furrow as he was so used to his own gloved ones. you hummed a small tune— one cloud had recalled was playing in the jukebox outside a drink stand nearby, while he rubbed his hands to get the lotion spread. if his face wasn’t red then, it definitely was when you let out a small sigh at the feeling of the cold sensation on your back.

despite being as awkward as he was, cloud’s deft hands massaged the sunscreen into your skin surprisingly comfortably. he let out a small curse under his breath as he grimaced when you slightly turned your head and questioned his whispers, “what was that?”

“nothin’.”

he was pretty sure you could see somewhat of his face right now, eyes scrunching as he felt himself twitch in his trunks while the tips of his ears grew red. if he was lucky enough— and coherent enough— he’d blame it on the sun. and it definitely didn’t help that you kept trying to make conversation with him.

“don’t you think it’s so beautiful out today, cloud?” you smiled. the breath of fresh air was unlike anything the two of you had experienced— you could inhale freely without choking on ash or dirt or debris from the recklessness of shinra. and he had to admit, it was a nicer change of pace stopping by costa del sol.

“everything’s just so gorgeous out here—“

“can you please stop talking?”

you turned your head once more, and cloud sighed in embarrassment. he didn’t mean for it to come out that way, honest. but he can’t focus on your words when you’re in front of him with that stupid swimsuit, distracting him as he tries not to shift his lower body to much. and of course, it took a beat of silence before your voice came out low, “have i offended you?”

“are you serious right now? you’re having me pour sunblock on you while you’re pressed up against me.”

it was only then when you let out a small laugh that he realized what you were doing. you did all of this on purpose— you sat here with aerith for a solid five minutes while he bumped into tifa, you could’ve had her spot you. but no, cloud just had to be the one to do it. he had noticed that you shifted back a little bit, which he thought was just so he didn’t have to reach so far but now that your lower back was pressed against him, he realized that you understood his problem a long time ago.

“oh well, sorry about that.” you teased, reaching behind you to remove cloud’s hands while you turned around to face him. you took off your sunglasses and grinned at him, taking in his flustered appearance. the bulge in his trunks failed to go unnoticed as your eyes flickered down once or twice.

“hey, cloud?” he looked back up at you, tearing his eyes away from the very interesting flecks of gold in the sand.

your smile never left your face. a deep contrast to your sweet demeanor was the innuendo that left your lips afterwards, “didn’t you have to go to bathroom earlier?”

Fluffcember #4 Cloud x Reader

Chocobo farm

"Cloud, can I open my eyes now?"

"Not yet."

"Please?"

"I said, not yet."

You blew out a long, pouty exhale as Cloud led you down what you thought was a path. He'd told you to cover your eyes so you didn't spoil the surprise, but you were SO curious, it was everything you could do to keep from opening your eyes then and there. "Watch your step," He warned, guiding you by the shoulders as you almost tripped over a particularly large rock. It was then when you realized that he was leading you somewhere into the countryside--Midgar streets were paved and clean, none had stray rocks just lying around. "Where are we going?" You asked again, impatiently. You heard Cloud sigh. "I can't tell you, remember? It's a surprise." He continued leading you down the road for a few moments, the only sounds either of you heard were your own footsteps. After a while, Cloud stopped walking. He grabbed your arms to signal you to stop as well. "Can I open my eyes NOW?" Cloud exhaled softly beside you. "Not yet. Wait here." Judging by the sounds of metal clinking and leather scraping along the ground, Cloud was walking away. You huffed, your eyes still closed, and wrapped your arms around yourself. Several minutes passed with you just standing out on the road, alone. You began to wonder if this was a joke. Several more minutes passed before Cloud returned, his arrival announced by the sound of metal jingling as he walked. "This way." He said, taking your arm and leading you down another path. After a few more minutes of walking, you reached your destination. A series of loud chirps filled your ears, as did the sounds of many pairs of feet stomping around. Cloud took your hand and guided it to something in front of you; you soon felt the soft touch of fluffy feathers under your fingers. "Surprise." Cloud said, a hint of quiet laughter in his voice. You opened your eyes in amazement, only to find the cutest, fluffiest, fattest chocobo you'd ever seen standing before you, chirping happily as you petted it's head. "What do ya think?" Cloud asked, arms akimbo. You turned to him and flung your arms around his shoulders. "Ahhhh, they're so cuuuuuteeee!" You squealed, strangling him with a hug. "Thank you so much!" Cloud nodded, then reached out to give the fat chocobo a few headpats. "They are cute, aren't they?" You nodded excitedly, watching as the chocobo shook it's head happily, similar to the way a dog wagged its tail. "They're adorable!" You peered past the fat chocobo to see several baby chococbos running around, chirping at each other. "Aww, look at the babies!" You cooed, grabbing Cloud by the hand and dragging him along the fence to see the little balls of fluff run around each other. A few minutes later, the mother chocobo came out, fluffy golden feathers shining in the sunlight. She turned to peck lovingly at her babies, then herded them back inside their pen. As she turned around, you pointed at the animal's posterior. "Look, it's just like your hair!" You joked. Cloud scoffed, shook his head, but said nothing. The two of you admired the chocobos for a while, soon losing track of time because of their cuteness. Eventually, the sun began to set, something Cloud noticed. "It's getting late." He remarked, nodding. "We should head back." "Yeah," You agreed, ruffling the feathers on the fat chocobo's head one last time. "Thank you for bringing me here. I had so much fun!" Cloud nodded, "You're welcome. I'll...uhh...bring you again sometime." You grinned, then reached up and ruffled his hair the way you did with the chocobo. "I'd like that, Chocobo-head." With a scoff and a deep (poorly hidden) blush, Cloud took your hand in his and walked you down the path.

Happy Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch month(-ish)!

…wait hold on that’s not Cloud-

Going absolutely feral. This game is going to kill me.

No! I'm not ok! Stop asking!

Uuugh🥵

So here's the original mixi-max I was talking about, it's Arion mixi-max Cloud from FF7, you should know that the original FF7 (on the PS1 yes yes) is one of my great childhood games with IE, Zelda and Pokemon so I wanted to pay homage to this game by merging my two favorite protagonists.

Context: Raimon while traveling with the temporal transporter suffers a sudden anomaly and finds himself in a parallel world beyond which has nothing to do with the others they have traveled before, in fact this world is on the verge of crisis ecological and football doesn't really have a place there. Our friends are being chased by Shinra soldiers and when they are caught in wait, a blond soldier with a big sword saves them and directs them towards his lair. The group learns that the soldier's name is Cloud and that his goal is to save the planet with his group Avalance. Our friends will help Avalanche thanks to the power of football and introduce it to Cloud, who is rather perplexed by Raimon's sport. Arion will learn about Cloud and his past and talk about the pressure of having the fate of the world in their hands. The event is available via the passwords menu with the code F4N1L7. ;)

#CloudWeek2022 - Day 1: Favorite Cloud scene(s)

Recollection of my favorite Cloud Strife moments, basically: REAL Cloud is the BEST Cloud.

He firstly keeps apologizing after he’s back, accepting and admiting his flaws and vulnerabilities from the past, but also the resolve to make things right.

“I’m sorry everyone, I don’t know what to say“ “That’s the Cloud you all knew...The Master of my own illusionary world. (...) It’s time to stop living a lie, and to start being myself ”

The way he supports all the party members, as a group, or individually. For example, comforting Tifa for feeling lonely after everyone else left to go back home

“Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. I’ll make a big enough noise/ruckus for everyone!”

Comforting Yuffie as they share the airsickness (that he didn’t feel during his fake persona), offering options to deal with it, what not to do, and bonding that it was still very hard to deal with.

“Moving around is a good idea. It might help to do some exercises *squats* “

“There’s something you absolutely must not do, and that is ... READ !!“

“Anyway, once you’re sick, there’s nothing you can really do about it. I know it’s tough“

My other favorite Cloud Speech, the one he gives before going to confront Sephiroth understanding that, even if fighting to save the planet is nice, they all have that something or someone irreplacable for them who they are fighting for, and that they should go back to them before, and be sure that they want to come back or stay with their loved ones; either decision will be fine, because it’s a personal choice. 

“Everyone, leave this ship and find your reason for fighting (...) It’s fine if you don’t come back”

“What about you? I want you all to find that special something within yourself.“

And he is just an emotional support for the crew, establising himself as the true leader of the party for things like this, not just because cool fighting abilities.

“Leave all your worries here. Let’s go home proud.”

*screams* REAL Cloud deserves to be talked about way more!!

i imagine this is how remake part 3 is going to start.

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where galaxies collided and stars burned with the fury of a thousand suns, there existed a man named Cloud Strife. Once hailed as a hero, a savior of worlds, Cloud now found himself adrift in a universe devoid of hope. The burden of knowledge weighed heavy upon his shoulders, dragging him down into the depths of despair. Gone was the youthful vigor and…

Posting babygirl Cloud to cleanse my soul

ghost

could I request cloud reacting to a reader who has never seen snow before? also, in a romantic setting if it isn't much trouble 😭? feel free to ignore if you don't want to do it :3

“you okay?” cloud asked, tilting his head as he watched you peek out the curtains, sat on the couch with wide eyes. you turned to him with a grin, almost childlike as you laughed a little bit.

“it’s snowing outside, cloud!” you flashed a sleepy smile, turning back to the barely lit window. it was pretty early, the sun hadnt completely risen yet as the sky was still a dark blue and purple— meaning you must’ve woken up early just to see the snowfall.

he walked over to the couch, gently sitting upon the worn cushions as his eyes flickered between you and the window. the glass reflected your serene grin while you held your head in your hands, nothing could tear you away from the sight of the snow outside. odd, cloud thought. “yeah, what about it?”

you shrugged, “it’s pretty.”

“never seen snow before?” he quirked a brow. you seemed very focused on the white crystalline frost on the window, small flecks of it falling from the sky and onto the ground in piles as it covered the dirt. it wasn’t a common occurrence for snow to fall but cloud has seen his fair share of different environments with his job.

“nope.” you mumbled, still in awe at the sight before you. he made a small hum of acknowledgment as he looked back at you. he eyed the jacket on the chair near the door, an idea flickering inside his head.

“how about you get the real deal, then?”

“huh?”

“grab your jacket, let’s go outside.” he got up and made his way over to his leather jacket. it wasn’t much but cloud could withstand the cold. he watched with a soft chuckle as you squared and skipped along to find your jacket.

cloud waited by the door as he watched you emerge from the room with a comically layered outfit, almost expecting it to be freezing even thought it was just a tiny bit of snow. he scoffed with a small half smile before opening the door and letting you go first, your grin never faltering.

“woah—! wait!” he said, extending a hand as he watched your dive into the thin layer of snow that littered the grounds of your complex. he darted towards you, kneeling as he made sure you were okay. you rolled over, lazily grinning at him as you laughed, making snow angels and revealing the dirt that had been under the ground’s cold, white coat. “c’mon, cloud!”

“no, thanks.”

“pleasee—?” you drew out the ‘e’, pouting as he sighed. he brushed some of the snow away, making sure there were no bugs under the ground’s disguised layer of snow— before unceremoniously flopping over next to you.

he couldn’t help but crack a soft smile at your giggles when he saw you leaning on your elbow as you sat up and hovered over him. you two simply sat there for a moment, letting the silence overtake you. you could hear the faintness of cars and the chatters of people, but you two didn’t say anything until a few words finally left your lips. “can i kiss you, cloud?”

he huffed, an amused smile resting on his face. “sure.”

you leaned in, and he could feel you grin against his lips— icy and cold. lips that didn’t move very often only from the lack of things to say, but with you— cloud felt like he didn’t have to say anything. you two were just comfortable, and he liked that.
