“I came here by my own free will. Or so I thought. However. To tell the truth, I'm afraid of myself. There is a part of me that I don't understand. That part that made me give the Black Materia to Sephiroth. If you hadn't stopped me, Aerith might have...

【 ✗ 】 There was always a curiosity surrounding the fact that Sephiroth could materialize such an incredibly long sword out of seemingly nowhere, there was a part of Cloud that wondered if he could ever do the same thing someday considering his First Class Soldier conditioning. Even if he was marked off as a failed experiment due to the Mako poison he endured for so long after being saved by Zack Fair, regardless of this fact all of that was in the past and Cloud was tired of fighting an endless battle that was going nowhere fast. 

So, rather than picking fights with the one winged angel upon sight Cloud only grew curious for questions he thought about that he could ask, even if he would only ask one at a time due to the fact he rather not press to much the air between them was still slightly stale. Almost like there was a tolerance that could be broken at any moment, so with his guard up Cloud merely gazed upon the old general with that same curious expression. 

❛Sephiroth, how can you summon and unsummon your sword Masamune?❜

【 ✗ 】 Being a mercenary had its ups and downs when it came to who hired you and the type of pay they were willing to offer, some of the jobs were more tiring than the other's some he would rather forget due to how terrible they were. At least it came with extra money considering the hazard bonus it came with, some of the monsters were not that big of a deal as people made them out to bed easily felled by his Buster Sword. Then again the blade itself was so heavy if Cloud so much as dropped it on somethings back it would be defeated, regardless of that while working he did not expect to come across a band of men taking the odd job of killing off monsters here and there. 

While it was rather curious where they came from Cloud had intentionally decided not to interfere with their work, but that flew out the window when the group came across a rather tough enemy that had obvious put them all in a bind. So, even if it was aginst Cloud's thoughts he had assisted in helping them in their endeavor, inevitably downing the rather large creature led to him following them back to their camp as a sort of thanks. 

Arms softly crossed over his chest as a crystalline gaze remained firm on the man he had been left with, what was his name again? Ignis if he recalled correctly a man who used daggers from what he saw in that fight, but that was the only thing Cloud knew of this stranger as his hues shifted off to the side out of possible embarrassment he was even being thanked.

【 ✗ 】 The Hollow Baston Restoration Community, that was the name of the group Cloud became a member of in order to help this word out with his friends. While Cloud never spoke to many people here he still watched in case someone was in need of assistance, mainly spending his time within the market unmoving from the lower area while leaning aginst a slate of wood. The sound of footsteps and chatter always reached the blonde's ears to the point he could almost perfect pick out who made what sound, even with crystalline blue hues closed it almost seemed unnecessary to pick out something like that. 

Yet, upon hearing a certain set of footsteps that did not match any of the current residents Cloud allowed one eye to open in order to gaze upon the owner, it was someone who appeared to be in a long trench coat through it was hard to see their face from how they were turned. Now, who wouldn't be curious about this kind of sight when not only the person looked to be out of place but the clothing as well, considering the people Cloud has seen in the past at least the being in question did not appear as outlandishly dressed it was just a long black coat. By the looks of the stranger they might very well need assistance even if they gave off a rather strange vibe to the Ex-Soldier, no matter he would not turn a blind eye as Cloud took a slow but careful stride over to the other. 

❛Excuse me, are you looking for something or someone?❜

This time it’s a headcanon about Cloud’s father, it was brought up in a conversation and I thought I’d post it up since it explains some things. After this I’ll work on a more detailed HC post for both the mother (Claudia) and his father (Aaron is my hc name) Under a read more because it has a few trigger warnings mainly death and blood, I’m also too lazy to retype so ripping this from a skype convo.

Aaron’s fc:

OKAY SO WHEN HE WAS LIKE THREE YEARS OLD I HC IT THAT: His father was still around during this time and brought little Cloud on a trip with him, it was somewhere outside of their hometown and they were traveling via a car. But they got caught up in the middle of the Watui war in a cross fire, being military Cloud's father was instantly drafted to fight upon sight. But Cloud was there and the father couldn't leave, so he literally brought Cloud through a bloody battlefield with him.

Just as the battle was coming to a close Cloud had wandered off from his father, who started frantically searching for Cloud. Upon finding him the boy had wandered off into the enemies lines and Solider's mistook Cloud as an adult and shot at him, but the father got in the way and took every bullet running off with Cloud into the nearby forest fending off a few monsters while running.

Reaching a safe area the father (I named him Aaron I should say) Put Cloud down and said everything will be alright. Just as Aaron died from bleeding out right then and there when Cloud was pressing his hands to his father's chest to slow the bleeding, he got covered in the blood and watched his dad slowly die that's why he's okay with blood and battle. He literally lived through a war zone. The only way Cloud got back home was because a Watui soldier recognized Aaron and brought Cloud home, but never once showed themselves after returning Cloud to the front doorstep.

Hello everyone, this blog isn’t new at all but I revamped it for a brand new restart McCoy here with my Cloud Strife many of you might know me as an old name. But I’m looking forward to being back and interacting with all you lovely people, so could you like/reblog this for me if you’re interested in interacting with Cloud?
