The Past and Present Collide || @ mako-infused
It had been a couple days since Cloud arrived at Seventh Heaven. Tifa had spent most of her free time while he rested up trying to figure out what to do about his arrival. The Cloud of this time hadn't returned her calls -- how typical -- and she was worried about this future Cloud and what would happen with him here, in this time.
Knowing his story and how alone he must feel, the barmaid had remind herself that he knew a different Tifa. His life with her had been different. Could she picture herself with the Cloud of this time? As much as she wished it, she worried that it was too late.
But Cloud is still Cloud, right? He may be older, but..
She lightly smacked her cheeks, trying to get herself out of that train of thought. This was just her heart's confusion trying to override her mind, that's all. Even if this Cloud wanted to stay...why would he even think of being with her? She reminded him of what he lost, didn't she?
Doing her best to ignore what she was feeling, Tifa carried the tray of food she prepared for him, arriving outside of the room. Gently knocking against the door, she chewed on the inside of her cheek. "Cloud..? Are you awake? I brought you some breakfast..."
