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.
