Cloud didn’t know why he agreed to do this, he should be heading back to see how the others not tagging along with this energetic woman.
“Why am I following you again?”
“Because Y/n makes the best sweets! and she’s my best friend too! I really can’t wait for you to meet her!.” Laughing she rocked on her heels, it didn’t take long to get to the little bakery.
“Yippy.”
Aerith rolled her eyes as she opened a door stepping in, immediately hit with the scent of chocolate. “Try to give her a smile.”
Cloud sighed then frowned as he adverted his eyes though seeing a small figure step out holding a try the man was taken back by how pretty they were. Digging his nails into his palm he assumed that you were the one Aerith was talking about.
Placing down they tray of freshly baked cookies you caught a flash of pink, nearly squealing you wrapped your arms around the taller’s woman’s neck tugging her in for a hug. “Aerith!”
“haha! how have you’ve been y/n!.”
“I’m good…I’m happy you’re okay and oh…hello.” Letting out a nervous laugh you didn’t even see the tall blonde with a frown marrying his face. “I’m-” Holding your hand out, he glanced at it then turned his head away.
“Y/n…I know….I’m Cloud.”
Biting your lip you then dropped your hand, your fingers clutching the edge of your apron. “Oh well it’s nice to meet you Cloud.”
But once you were actually able to get a better glance at the man your eyes went wide for a fraction of second. Those were the eyes from your dreams, feeling a light pinch of pain in the back of your mind it didn’t take long for everything to go black.
Cloud felt rather uneasy, with you staring at him with wide eyes and a smile on your face. He didn’t know how to feel, nor did understand the strange pull he felt just being near you. But seeing your form suddenly go limp he knew that he had to catch you. You were surprisingly light in his arms though he did his best to try and calm Aerith’s nerves.
“Which way to her room.”
“I/..this way.” Biting her lip the young woman quickly rushed of to lock the door of your bakery before she made her way to your room. “H-Hurry up!”
Staying at Aerith’s heels, Cloud just wanted to know why he felt like he had to protect you…or why you even fainted at all. Placing you down on the bed he then tugged at chair over.
“I’ll watch over her for now.”
About to protest Aerith opened her mouth then nodded. “Im…I”ll be right back! make sure she stay’s safe.” Rushing out. Cloud just let out a snort then shook his head.
“Not like I have a choice.”
