Summary
CW: cursing and drinking
Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Aerith share some downtime in Kalm’s bar. Tifa challenges Cloud to a drinking contest in which Cloud gets fairly drunk and surprisingly giggly. He says some revealing things until Tifa suggests they call it a night. Back at the inn, Cloud confesses to feelings and insecurities Tifa never would have guessed. They talk it out the following morning.

Cloud looks up at the window. The moon hangs like a jewel among the stars, a centerpiece pinned to a glittering veil. Aerith says she misses the steel sky, but he never could. In Midgar, the stars were just another thing Shinra took away.
He should close the blinds. He’ll regret it when the blaring sun wakes him at dawn. But he can’t close out the sky, not when he’s just gotten it back.
How could Tifa stand to lose it, living in Midgar for so many years?
She’s good at making friends, always has been. Maybe that was the draw. So many people, so many in need of help. She’s always liked helping people. Not like him, who’s always needed a paycheck. She’s tried so hard to help him, he can’t help but wonder if it’s wasted on him.
