Cloud was usually a stoic person, and he hated showing emotion for the most part. He had a few friends, usually spending his time studying or sleeping. He wasn't keen on making friends either, he had higher priorities, such as studying. He was fairly popular, well known but not well known enough for people to care. He was just sort of there. He was an introvert, for the most part.

That's why he was so confused why he liked you so much. You, a dazzling extrovert, were the complete opposite of him, yet the same person in your own way. You two had surprisingly similar personalities, you were just more in touch with your social side. He liked that about you, a lot. He found it cute, and he hated it. He hated how weak he was for you, how he'd be there for you no matter what.

He wasn't use to such a feeling, and it excited him and scared at the same time. More so the latter. Who cares, though? He liked you, and that's what he cared about. He found himself wanting to be around you more often, even making an effort to walk you home when he could. Just so you wouldn't get 'kidnapped or murdered', as he put it ever so bluntly.

Thursday afternoon, it was sunny and bright outside, and he was waiting outside your class after the bell rang. When he saw you step out of your class, a smile subconsciously spread onto his face as he approached you with a firm nod.

"Hey. You ready to go home? Do you need help with your bag?", he asked, trying to maintain a neutral expression. Oh but it was hard, you were much too distracting.
