Tifa's Seventh Heaven
"Marlene! How many times do I have to tell you to watch the cookies?! I can smell they're burning!" As Tifa turned around, she bumped against their bed. She froze. Cloud was still snoring softly, laying sprawled on their bed in his flannel bottoms.
She had forgotten he was sleeping. She was about to tip-toe out of their room when she accidentally stepped in Cloud's pants. Her shoes got stuck and she had to shuffle rather quickly for a few steps until she could stop herself without tripping.
Cursing Cloud's habit to leave his clothes wherever he took them off, she freed herself from his pants and picked up his clothes. As she was about to go to dump the clothes in the laundry room, she felt something in his pocket. A piece of paper?
She reached into his pocket and grabbed the piece of paper. She swung his clothes over her arm and curiously looked at the paper. Her smile faded. Then it returned with tears. She looked at Cloud, still sleeping sweetly, then back at the paper.
It was the picture she had been looking for what seemed so long ago. Denzel and Marlene were standing in front of them, grinning from ear to ear and sneaking a look at Cloud and Tifa. Tifa was happily kissing Cloud on the cheek. Cloud looked a bit strange, between happy and embarrassed.
Cloud had carried it with him all this time.
