Tifa was up early as always at the time. She had to finish all her chores before it was time to open the bar. She was exhausted but even so Tifa knew she couldn't take the day off, not unless she had a good reason to and being tired wasn't one of them. The thought caused her to sight but a smile soon spread across her lips when Cloud came to her mind.
He was there living with her in the bar again. She had to argue and lecture him a few time, but in the end she managed to convince him to stay. For a while it felt like they were a family, her Cloud and the kids. She even forgot that he was a l'Cie till Cloud brought the subject up.
Tifa didn't really care if he was one or not even if some called him an enemy to the world, Cloud to her would always be Cloud the one she fell in love with and nothing would ever change that. "We can beat this....." she muttered softly under her breath. Tifa believed that there was a way to overcome Cloud's focus she believed they would figure a way around or a way to complete it without ending her life, and then maybe they could be together.

Tifa was unaware of anyone it the bar since it was early she assumed everyone were still asleep. She was too focused on her chores to hear Cloud enter the room. She wasn't aware that he was awake not until she felt his hands slowly wrap around her waist slowly. Tifa froze as she tried to suppress a blush from forming.
"Cloud...." She uttered his name slowly before smiling subconsciously. "What are you doing up so early.....? I thought you were still asleep" she said turning to gaze into his mako blue eyes. Slowly she lowered the dishes from her hands placing them on the counter behind her. "Are you hungry.... I can make you your favorite....?" Tifa asked knowing she had enough time to make breakfast before opening the bar.

Tifa smiled brightly as she gazed into Clouds eyes into the blue mako she loved so much. A moment passed in silence and all she could do was gaze at the man she loved till an answer finally came. "Coffee again?"
Tifa asked with a chuckle. Whenever Cloud had his breakfast it always started with coffee. "You never change." She commented with a smile taking a step back before turning to prepare the coffee.
The smile remained on her lips the entire time just knowing he was there was enough to make Tifa happy. That's what she always needed having Cloud around. "Huh Cloud....?" Tifa turned in confusion when he turned on the heater it was a nice weather so why? "Are you okay.....?" she asked in concern as she handed him his coffee.

Hearing him open up to her that easily broadened the smile on Tifa's lips finally, he was no longer keeping anything from her, but seeing him shiver even slightly caused her to worry. "Cloud...." she called his name in a soft whisper as she reached one hand to brush it down his arm. "Are you sure your alright....?" she asked eyes filled with concern. Tifa loved him deeply, the last thing she wanted was to lose him.
Tifa turned walking back into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After ten minutes she came back carrying his plate and a glass of water for her. "Here is your order" she said with a smile placing it on the counter before she sat next to him and took a sip from her glass.

Cloud Strife   
Nightmares become real...
Love remains the same....
But soon everything will disappear....
All because of me....
"Cloud...." "Are you sure your alright....?" He wasn't planning on telling her any thing...But when she said this, "Here is your order" He smiled when she sat right next to him. He sighed. As he placed his hand over hers....and tried to make her see that he was alright. "Tifa....You don't have to worry about me. I'm just not adjusting to this damned L'Cie thing. It's no big deal..." He tried to tell her that and make her believe him. But he knew she would not believe him one bit. This brand was literally eating him alive and she knew it....During your first year as a L'Cie is the worst part of your life...And the most dangerous from what Cloud read about them...He did know that Tifa knew about this too...And he hated to see her worried to death about him.

"Its always the same with you isn't it.....?" Tifa asked sighing at the fact. Cloud would always be Cloud, those were her worlds in the past. She should have known that he would still try to keep things from her. "Your my childhood friend Cloud.... I have known you my entire life which means I could easily tell when your hiding something....."
Reaching forward she slowly took his hands in hers. "Cloud you know you can tell me anything right? We came this far and still..... still your afraid to open up to me completely......" Another sigh escaped her lips but she forced a smile to form as her eyes continued to gaze deep into Clouds mako blue.

"Its always the same with you isn't it.....?" "Your my childhood friend Cloud.... I have known you my entire life which means I could easily tell when your hiding something....." He sighed as he looked down..."Cloud you know you can tell me anything right? We came this far and still..... still your afraid to open up to me completely......" "I just don't want you to worry about me. I love you to much to hurt you..." He said as he looked into her brown eyes then. And he leaned in to give her a passionate kiss. As he kissed her this was it...This was the moment to ask her hand in marriage...He started to pull out the ring box but then customers started piling in....As Cloud pulled away and finished his food only taking his coffee cup with him... "Customers need you more any way..." He walked away from her before she could stop him.... As he walked upstairs to his bed room he sat at his desk. Damn it...He was never giving a moment alone with just her was he? He wanted to be with her and no one else butting in. It seemed every time he tried to ask her hand in marriage they were interrupted by some thing...He was just not picking the right time to ask. He'd pick a better time next time. Maybe tonight after the bar closes? He hoped he could ask her soon though. He remembered what he and Repa talked about once....and he could not put this off any more....

"Cloud...." Hearing his words caused her cheeks to heat up as a blush formed. She turned instantly trying to hide this from Cloud. "I know..... and its because I love you too I can't help but worry." Tifa replied finally finding the words as she slowly turned to gaze into his eyes and a smile touched her lips.
She was caught in surprise when Cloud leaned closer to kiss her passionately. "Cloud......" she whispered his name closing her eyes to return the kiss. "What?" Tifa was surprised when it ended quickly, opening her eyes she looked around the bar to notice the ones going in. "Welcome to Seventh Haven" she greeted them and saw Cloud return to his room. She sighed feeling as if he was about to tell her something important but what?

He was gone before she could stop him. As he was now up in his bed room and sighed as he was waiting for the bar to close again. He looked down at his brand after he took off his glove and sighed. Why did he have to constantly be reminded of his focus? He slipped his glove back on and walked over to his drawer and pulled out some black tape as he then removed his glove yet again and wrapped his wrist up with the black tape...Until the brand was no longer visible to be seen....And he slipped his glove back on just then and hours past...And past...And when the last customer was leaving for the day, Cloud walked back down stairs and then saw that Tifa was back to cleaning....As he sighed. She never got a break... He walked back into the now empty bar and made her notice he was there as he sat there across from her at the bar.... "Tifa..." He said to her. He kept his hands in his pockets then as he was hoping that she would take a minute and just stop cleaning and when her hand reached across to grab dirty dishes he grabbed her hand with his then.... "Tifa...Stop..."

Once the bar was open Tifa couldn't get any rest. More customers kept coming and she was busy with taking orders preparing the meals and drinks. soon the place was packed as usual, and Tifa couldn't find the time to sneak away to see Cloud. Frankly she was worried about him. The way he acted earlier was as if there was something important he wanted to tell her but what?
Her mind was racing with thoughts trying to find the answer but all she came up with only worried her more. Hours passed and Tifa never stopped working. Customers kept coming one after another, it was very hectic, but even when she was exhausted Tifa knew she had to give her best. She loved her job after all.
"Thank you for coming to Seventh Haven" She said smiling as the last customer left. Finally the day was over, all she had left was cleaning the bar. She decided to finish that quickly before checking on Cloud. "I just have to finish a few things" she encouraged herself before starting with cleaning the dishes.
A moment later she heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Tifa turned to see Cloud. Instantly her lips curved into a smile as her eyes met his. "Hey Cloud...... feeling better? I was about to check up on you as soon as I am done with........ Cloud.......?"
Seeing how his features changed worried her even his tone seemed serious all of the sudden. "whats wrong is it your brand again?" she asked with concern once he reached to grab her hand.

He smiled as she got so worried about him again and he released her hand from his then as he looked up at her and smiled.... "No..It's not my brand...I'm fine....I..I need to ask you some thing. Some thing important...Some thing that will change our lives forever....Just let me..." He got up and walked over to her and stood beside her then as he turned her to face him....He gave her a look of love like he has never ever given her before. He then pulled out his ring box. And placed it in her hands and closed her other hand on top if it.... "Just let me have this moment before you do any thing else...Before you wash another plate...Let me get this off my chest....If I don't ask this sooner or later things will get so hectic and I'll never be able to ask you. These past few years living with you here at the bar and such has only made my love for you grow stronger. And you know I'm not one to be called a hero. Unless it is by you....But, I am trying to be strong for you even now. This is going to be difficult for me to ask you...I love you...I love you so much it hurts. I would feel like a hero....If..." He then got on one knee then and looked up at her as he removed her hand from the box so he could open it up for her and she would now see the ring..... "If..Tifa Lockhart....Will you marry me?" He asked her as he never left eye contact...He was waiting in anticipation that she would say yes....He was hoping in his heart that would...As he looked up her he now, remained in silence....
