    Summary

    “Morning,” Cloud finally croaked.

    “There you are,” Barret said. Cloud turned to see a big grin on his face, unguarded—it was strange to think, that loud, earnest Barret held anything back. But there was a difference between how he acted in their bedroom and outside of it, and Cloud managed to lift a corner of his lips at the sight of him. “I was wondering when you’d wake up. I’d’ve shaken you, but you know how you get in the mornings.”

    Cloud nodded. He was known to be a little more stabby than usual before he remembered he wasn’t actively on the run anymore.

    “Gonna shower,” he announced.

    “Okay.” Tifa sat up, hair spilling over her shoulders and pooling around her thighs. She took a second too long when she blinked, wavering a little. “I can cook breakfast if—”

    “It’s my turn,” Cloud grumbled. He trudged to the closet, grabbed a t-shirt, a random pair of pants, and underwear. “Stop taking my jobs.”

    “Or cough up two thousand gil about it,” Barret joked, getting a grin from Cloud and Tifa both.

    Summary

    The creature still bothered her. “What about his name?”

    “His name?” Cloud blurted in confusion. “What about his name?”

    “Its- I-“ Nanaki’s tongue lapped around his jawline and his tail swished. The legs of his chair rested on the packed dirt of the ground. Pale stones glinted in the pseudo-fire in an ocean of dark soil. “It’s his name. I can’t imagine him with another.”


    Yuffie, Cloud and Nanaki spot a familiar sight.

    Summary

    “Yeah, but…” Cloud trails off, clearly seeing through her feigned cheer, but doesn’t finish his sentence. Doesn’t push her, doesn’t poke or prod like she might, and she feels the gentle kindness of his restraint. And also a tiny bit chastened by it. She should probably pull back from teasing him too much. “…maybe you’ll feel better if you talk to the flowers.”

    Oh.

    The Flowers from the Hill sidequest reimagined.

    Summary

    Cloud squirmed, but not to get away. Instead it was to get a better purchase on Barret’s body, leveraging himself against the slick surface of the sleeping bag across Barret’s thighs. He got his elbows under him. The scratchy wool of Cloud’s top rubbed against Barret’s chest, he felt the hard muscles of his arms against him, but mostly he felt Cloud’s mouth on his; desperate, merciless, all teeth—until suddenly he broke away.

    “I—” Barret started.

    “Shut up.” Cloud huffed a breath, hot against Barret’s face. “Don’t talk.”

    Barret and Cloud share a tent on the long journey from Midgar to Nibelheim.
