Ever since the Meteor fell and Geostigma was wished upon others. Cloud was still in his mercenary boots despite having Geostigma. Even if he doesn't have the time, he always remembers to call you, even if he's busy. He never spoke about having Geostigma to anyone, not even Tifa. But he trusts you enough to keep that secret.

It was another gloomy day in the ruins of Midgar. A rare smile that only ever appears when you're involved. His thumb pressed the button to call you, always patient that you'll pick up. He knows how busy you can be helping with the orphans. When you pick up, "Hey," he tones, his voice still neutral, but warmth seeping through it.
