Cloud: Want to play the kissing booth game?
Tifa: That’s not how kissing booths work.
Cloud: It is if we’re the only ones in line.
Tifa: …You’re gonna make me fall in love with you again.
#cloti

Cloud: I won you this giant chocobo.
Tifa: You spent 800 gil on rigged ring toss.
Cloud: You smiled when you hugged it. Worth it. Would do again.
#cloti

Tifa: You said you’d help me clean.
Cloud: I was helping.
Tifa: You passed out on the hammock and trapped me under your arm.
Cloud: Teamwork.
#cloti

Tifa: Why are you staring at me?
Cloud: The popsicle’s melting.
Tifa: It’s literally in my mouth.
Cloud: Yeah. That’s why I’m staring.
#cloti

Tifa: I didn’t even do anything today.
Cloud: You existed. That’s enough.
Tifa: That’s not how this works.
Cloud: [kissing her temple] It is in my heart.
#cloti

Tifa: Why are you looking at me like that?
Cloud: You fit so perfectly here. In my arms.
Tifa: You’re gonna make me cry.
Cloud: Good. Then I get to hold you closer.
#cloti

Tifa: Cloud, why are you laying on top of me like a weighted blanket?
Cloud: You looked emotionally unstable and I panicked.
Tifa: You’re not light, you know.
Cloud: [already nuzzling in] I’m emotionally grounding.
#cloti

Cloud: I cleaned the whole house.
Tifa: You didn’t have to!
Cloud: You smiled at me this morning and I blacked out and now the floors are sparkling.
Tifa: You love me that much?
Cloud: …I mopped the ceiling.
#cloti

Tifa: Why are you smiling like that?
Cloud: You walked into the room.
Tifa: Cloud.
Cloud: That’s the whole reason.
#cloti

Tifa: Cloud… are you asleep?
Cloud: [absolutely not asleep, holding her tighter] …mm.
Tifa: You just squeezed my waist.
Cloud: [fake-sleep voice] Muscle reflex. You're comforting. Don’t move.
#cloti

Tifa: Morning.
Cloud: [already awake, staring at her like she's a sunrise]
Tifa: …Are you okay?
Cloud: I’ve been trying not to cry for twenty minutes. You’re so pretty when you sleep.
#cloti

Cloud: You drooled on my arm.
Tifa: That’s fair. You talked in your sleep.
Cloud: I did?
Tifa: You said, “Don’t touch her, she’s mine.”
Cloud: [goes completely still] That… tracks.
#cloti

Tifa: You don’t have to be jealous.
Cloud: I’m not jealous.
Tifa: You just pulled me into your lap in front of an entire market.
Cloud: [muttering] Territorial instincts activated. Sorry.
#cloti

Tifa: Did you just growl?
Cloud: He touched your elbow.
Tifa: He was handing me a napkin.
Cloud: I don’t care. Your elbows are sacred.
#cloti

Cloud: You snore a little.
Tifa: So do you!
Cloud: [grinning sleepily] We’re sonically compatible.
Tifa: …I’m gonna marry you.
#cloti

Tifa: You’re staring again.
Cloud: [quiet] I’m trying to figure out how I got this lucky.
Tifa: I’m literally wearing mismatched socks.
Cloud: Yeah. And I’ve never seen anything more perfect.
#cloti

Tifa: Goodnight, Cloud.
Cloud: [softly] Wait, one more thing.
Tifa: Yes, Cloud?
Cloud: Just needed to hear you say my name one more time.
#cloti

Tifa: You brought me tea, turned down the bed, fluffed the pillows...
Cloud: [serious] Your peace is my mission.
Tifa: You’re ridiculous.
Cloud: [whispers] Ridiculously in love with you.
#cloti

Tifa: You okay? You’re kinda fidgety.
Cloud: I’m trying to fall asleep but you keep breathing all soft and beautiful.
Tifa: …Cloud.
Cloud: It’s distracting. Stop being gorgeous in my bed challenge.
#cloti

Tifa: You can sleep on your side, you know.
Cloud: [wrapped around her like a blanket] I am on my side. Your side.
Tifa: Cloud…
Cloud: Shhh. I’m being cozy and emotionally available.
#cloti

Tifa: You’re pouting.
Cloud: I am resting my face.
Tifa: You’re pouting because I stopped stroking your hair.
Cloud: [pointedly silent]
Tifa: [already petting him again] You big baby.
#cloti

Tifa: Why are you staring at me like that?
Cloud: [very serious] I’m just overwhelmed by how you're real.
Tifa: …Cloud.
Cloud: Like you exist. In my actual life. On my actual couch.
Tifa: I’ve literally lived here for three years.
#cloti

Cloud: [carrying groceries] I got you that chocolate you like.
Tifa: You remembered?
Cloud: [avoiding eye contact] I remember everything about you.
Tifa: [blushing] …Even the embarrassing stuff?
Cloud: Especially that.
#cloti

Tifa: You don’t have to impress me.
Cloud: I know. [long pause] I’m doing it for me. I want to be the kind of man you deserve.
Tifa: [melts into the floor]
#cloti

Cloud: You’re cold.
Tifa: How do you know?
Cloud: You do this little… scrunchy face when you’re cold.
Tifa: [blinking, smiling] You really pay attention, huh?
Cloud: [quietly] Only to you.
#cloti

Tifa: Did you fix the loose strap on my backpack?
Cloud: It was squeaky.
Tifa: You also refilled my water bottle and put a granola bar in the front pocket.
Cloud: You skipped breakfast.
Tifa: Cloud, you’re the sweetest secret boyfriend ever.
Cloud: I’m not-
Tifa: Not yet.
#cloti

Cloud: So. I had a thing I wanted to tell you.
Tifa: Okay.
Cloud: …I think you’re… really…
Tifa: Yes?
Cloud: …really good at math.
Tifa: …Thank you?
Cloud: [mutters under his breath] Also I love you.
#cloti

Cloud: Is that my jacket?
Tifa: [innocent look] I don’t know, is it?
Cloud: …You’re never giving it back, are you?
Tifa: [pulls it tighter and grins] Nope.
#cloti

Mr. B: Cloud, Tifa, care to explain why you’re smiling like fools at each other instead of taking notes?
Tifa: We’re just… really enjoying this lesson.
Cloud: [blushing furiously, tries to cover his face with his textbook]
#cloti

Tifa: You didn’t have to wait for me, you know.
Cloud: [shrugging] Didn’t want you to walk alone.
Tifa: [smiling shyly] …You're kind of my favorite person.
Cloud: [blushing furiously] Oh. Uh. Cool. Coolcoolcool.
