Some small drabbles spurred on by playing Dissidia of all things, and the sudden urge to complete an archaic 100-word challenge I set for myself.
Feeling
There was this pretty girl that lived next door to him. Whenever he saw her he always got a crazy feeling of butterflies in his stomach and felt a knot in his throat the small amount of time they had shared glances. He wanted to talk to her but at the same time she was always surrounded by idiots and he’d never gather enough courage to do so anyway. When she decided to go near the mountains after her mother’s death, that’s when his emotions and good judgment seemed to clash. He wanted to look after her from now on.
Gorgeous
Her delicious shoulders could not be denied. Neither could the defined collarbone that always insisted on sticking out above her white tank top. Cloud was a thinker, of course he would never voice it, but out of all the women he’s seen, Tifa made him stop and really examine. In his many daydreams, he wondered what it would be like to stroke her thick brown hair.. and other things if his self esteem wasn’t low. He couldn’t help it, he was still a man, and she was gorgeous. That never changed; it just became increasingly more obvious throughout the years.
Happy
Feelings of security were not something familiar to her in a long while. From facing death by Sephiroth to SHINRA’s evil deeds, content had been a transient feeling at best due to the tragedies of battle. As she realized this really was the end of their long and tearful journey, she felt an incredible sense of uneasiness and guilt over the many lives lost. But as he stood there reassuring her that he would be all right this time because she was beside him, she began to know what true happiness was. Even so, she wondered if she deserved it.
Intimate
Even as they rushed inside the chocobo stable and almost haphazardly tumbled in the hay, there was still an awkward sense of self-consciousness that never got the chance to be released in their teens due to the both of them wanting to be each other’s first. They were fully clothed and Kuraudo felt like his stomach and ‘little Cloud’ were about to explode. He had never been intimate with a person before and he wondered if it was the same for Tifa but he dared not question. Before the end of the world he would enjoy what he’d been missing.
Joking
When he confessed that he was not familiar with the names of many vegetables, she hadn’t believed it, but it did make sense given the type of life he had lived, so she was more than happy to assist him in that regard. Coming in the kitchen that moment was none other than her koibito. She held out a fruit to him and said, “Here’s a new vegetable for you: The cucumber.” Suddenly feeling awkward, he then scratched his head. “Cucumber huh? I’ll introduce you to mine.” She blushed, playing along with the innuendo and retorted, “I’m well-acquainted enough already.”

here 'Intimate' is based on the deleted Highwind scene talked about in the Ultimania Omega I think it was, where they wanted to have a scene with Tifa walking out of the Highwind's chocobo stable before Cloud but they deleted it. lolz.
As the saying goes, comments are lovely and really nice. I am such a slow writer, 100 impactful words take me forever.
