You should bother your mun everyday until they do it!

If it was-- that easy...

[She hums.]

Then what do you think would help?

I don't know.

It's not like I can... I can really do anything.

Hey hey hey. Don't get glum on me, mister. [She puts her hands on her hips and leans in. Hello there, Cloud]

I can kick your mun's ass into gear for you!

[ Tifa nooo osohgkjs

He's leaning away. This is awkward enough, already!! ]

I-I don't think that's such a good idea.

Sure it is! [She winks]

Hey Cloud-mun! It's not good to break promises! [Pout!!] I know you might just be really busy and don't have time! But please try to make good on your promise? I'd really appreciate it!

H-hey--! Don't do that!

[ WHAT HORRIBLE TERRORS HAVE YOU WROUGHT, TIFA

...Okay. Sooo it's not as bad as he thinks it's going to be. But still. ]

What if you get in trouble? For saying stuff like that?

[WHOA. She tilts her head, confused.]

Get in trouble, how?

I, um. I mean -- i-it's not really a good idea to mess with them, right?

Even if you try to put it nicely...

Why not? I bug my mun all the time! Eventually she listens...kinda. [She's just a big pushover.]

But I guess you're mun could be different and I don't want to...get you in trouble or anything...

Really...? ...Maybe, um. It's not a big deal, then. So, sorry I said--

[ Shouted, Cloud. You shouted. Because you're super weird and awkward around girls named Tifa. ]

It's just that -- a lot of people around here talk about bad things happening if you step out of line, though. I just didn't want... [ mumble mumble trail off oh look something over there is so interesting. ]

[O: She hums and then smiles.]

It's ok! I get it. [She clasps her hands behind her back and rocks onto the balls of her feet.]

You're sweet.

[ Oh wow so there goes all of his badass street cred. ]

I'm-- what?

[Only to enhance his adorable woobieness.]

Sweet! [Grin!]

[ On the one hand: Tifa is paying attention to him and maybe kind of complimenting him and that's great.

On the other: what if it's totally not a compliment and she really just thinks he's weird and funny in a bad way for freaking out like that? Because that's the opposite of great, and putting a serious damper on his good feeling.

In the interest of preserving what stubborn pride he has left, he opts to display as little response as possible. And continues to try and hide under his hair and behind his scarf. ]

...Oh.

[Hey, no hiding! :( She just going to lean in again.]

Did I say something wrong?

[ It's too late, his awkward turtle skill is maxed out. ]

No.

[Peeeeeeek]

Why are you hiding from me?

I'm not.

[ A little defensive. He's right out here in the open! That's totally not hiding. Not even a little. Even without eye contact. ]

[She hesitates for a moment before frowning and pretending she's not totally blushing right now. Then she goes in for a hug. Wow, when did he get taller than her? She's missed you, boyo]

I'm sorry.

[ OH NO WHAT'S HAPPENING IT'S ...wait, it's... kind of nice maybe. Yeah, okay. This is definitely all right.

Now if he could just get that message to his extremely red face and apparent paralysis. ]

Um-- F-For what?

[Oh gosh, she's hugging him. But if she lets go she'll have to acknowledge that she's blushing pretty hardcore right now.]

For...for whatever I said that made you look like you wanted to hide from me.

[ Well, at least they can be mutually masking their intense embarrassment this way. ]

It-- wasn't like that.

[Two awkward teenagers hugging. What could possibly go wrong!]

Then... [She confused and might squeeze just a bit.] why..?

[ Yes of course nothing at all. Everyone else in the multiverse should look away, now, there is nothing to see here.

Just setting the Guinness world record for longest awkward hug nbd. ]

That was kind of embarrassing.

[Okay, that gets her to let go because WOW HI CLOUD, HOW'S IT GOING. And she may or may really be a bright red. She'll just go ahead and cover her face.]

S-sorry I just...well..you...and.. you were really cute and...

[ WHOOPS gonna just cross his arms really quickly now that he is mobile again and turn the other way a little. That wasn't super weird was it

because it felt like it was a little weird ]

I'd rather-- not be cute... [ He was going for incredibly manly tyvm. ]

[She's gonna giggle a bit at that. Even though she's still really embarrassed and still has her hands covering her face.]

You were very heroic, then. Trying to protect me like that...

[ Okay that's it then, game over DREAM ACHIEVED everyone go home ]

...Thanks.

[You forgot your medal.]

[Finally she puts her hands down and smiles up at the blonde.]

Thank you, my hero!

[ They don't hand out medals big or shiny enough for this.

Unfortunately there are also no words, so she'll just have to accept this sighting of the extremely rare and endangered species that is Cloud kind of smiling a little (and looking redder than the surface of a Summon materia), instead. ]
