Happy Strifehart Sunday <3

[strayheartless]

Do you think Squall’s ever used makeup to hide his scar and it tripped Cloud tf out? Like ‘Who are you and what have you done with my husband?’

I think squall forgets the scar is there most of the time honestly. That’s not to say I think he’s not a little vain (no one who wears three belts and a fur lined leather jacket “doesn’t care” about his looks, let’s be real.) but I think his scar doesn’t really bother him much these days.

HOWEVER, Yuna, Paine and Rikku attacking him with make up for his date with Cloud, would be so real. They cover the scar without even telling him they’ve done it, and he’s not particularly fussed about looking in the mirror to see what they’ve done (he put a ban on over the top make up).

So he rocks up to the date, looking drop dead gorgeous, and he thinks cloud is staring at him because he’s wearing makeup. He kind of worries for a second that they’ve gone over the top, but a quick glance in one of the restaurants mirrors says they haven’t.

He doesn’t notice the scar is gone at all, because obviously Squall had 17 years of see g his face without it.

But Cloud is quiet all night, he keeps stabbing grumpily at his food, and then makes a face like he’s internally fighting with himself and puts way too much effort into acting “normal”.

Eventually Squall has had enough. He asks Cloud what is going on; if he’s done something, and Cloud just mutters “why would you do that to yourself?”

At first Squall is confused, and then he remembers the makeup.

“It’s not a big deal, it’s just make up. You wear it. Why is it different for me?”

Cloud visibly gets frustrated and tries again.

“I don’t care about the make up, you look good… but why’d you cover your scar?”

Squalls brain takes a second to process that, then glances back in the mirror and sees that, yep, the scar is covered completely.

“Does it bother you?”

“No! It’s your face I just… I’ve never really known you with out it, and it- I don’t- it’s your face, if it makes you uncomfortable then it’s your choice to cover it I just- I-“

Squall eventually takes pity on cloud and takes his hand to help him feel more comfortable saying why he’s thinking.

“I just- you’re beautiful with the scar too,”

It actually looks like it pained Cloud to be that sentimental in public, and Squall can’t help smirking at him when he says.

“Would it interest you to know that I didn’t do my make up? Or maybe that I didn’t even realise the girls had covered it?”

Cloud scowls at him and throws a napkin at his face.

Squall catches it easily and makes Cloud look at him.

“I don’t care about my scar. I never really have. I mean I picked at it while it was healing but that’s because I hate itching. Does it freak you out that much?”

“It doesn’t look like you…”

“This is what I used to look like, I didn’t always have it.”

“Yeah well you also didn’t always love me, but you do now and some things are just worth keeping around,”

Squall will never admit that he melts a little.

“Yeah okay, you got me there.”

Dark Waters

Cloud dreamt of the sea. He dreamt of rolling waves and swelling sounds, the crash of storms and deadly claws caressing his flesh, slicing muscle and drawing blood. It didn’t hurt. He dreamt of a body intertwined with his own.

He dreamed of gold, shimmering gold coins, necklaces, the rings on his fingers, silver eyes, silver on the waves as the waves drove them down, down into the dark of the bay.

"What have you done to me?"

It's that time of the year <3

Strifehart week / Month begins in a week! This year, because of the short notice I thought the prompts would best to be held throughout the month, giving creators more time to work on their art/fics.

If you still wanna post the prompts throughout the week of 8/7 feel free to do so!

(i added strifelumhart the ship between leon / cloud / noctis because thats my personal agenda, some of my work this month will be featuring all 3 of them) Have fun!!

Strifehart Family Headcanon:

Cloud has impromptu dance parties with Sora.

Leon thinks it's cute (and dancing with his husband is 😍).

Roxas is beyond embarrassed that his dad is actually better at dancing than his twin.

Strifehart Day 6! Scifi! It got a lot darker then planed honestly. This is if Cloud was an android, like in Detroit being human and deviated.

Squall is obviously a human and not taking it well.

How did you get the twins and denzel did you adopt them

Leon: Maybe our sons fell out of a boat one day and into our laps. Or fell out of a seashell, or were made from mystical sea-foam. Are they any better?

Cloud: No. Just stop.

(Mr Ray is like Mr Stork just so you’re aware.)
