Epilogue

That morning, Tifa woke up very early to start the day. She went downstairs and approached the front door to turn the "Closed" sign to open the bar. It was almost 8:00 am in the morning and the first customers began to arrive.

There was always little activity during the mornings, since most of the customers were workers of Edge, and that is the reason why Seventh Heaven was open at that time, so she could offer them some breakfast and coffee.

After a few minutes, a dark-haired young man comes to the counter and greets her while she was tending the bar.

"Good morning, Tifa." He said warmly.

"Oh, hello Noctis." She smiled at him. "Do you want the usual?"

"Yes, please." He nods and sits on one of the barstools.

"Here you go." She places the meal on the counter.

"Thanks Teef."

"So, did you solve the problem you had last night?" she asked him as she wiped some vessels from the counter.

"Not quite," he looks at her. "But we'll see soon." and then smiled.

"Good." She also smiles.

"What about you?" he cleans some food from his mouth with a napkin. "Did you have any problems last night?" he looked at her with curiosity.

"Not at all." She shook her head smiling. "In fact," she bit her lower lip. "It was the opposite..." she blushed.

Noctis stopped eating his food for a moment just to look at her. She was glowing. There was something different about her that morning. It was like her smile was brighter than usual. Noctis realized this and before he could say something, Cloud came downstairs to say goodbye to her before leaving to make deliveries.

Cloud noticed his presence and immediately put himself on alert. Noctis did the same but he simply avoids eye contact with him. He didn't want to embarrass Tifa so he tried to act normal.

"Tifa, I'm leaving now." Cloud said while he took some boxes. Tifa skipped a bit after hearing his husky voice and her eyes lit up when she saw Cloud.

"Yipe!" she said cheerful. "Excuse me, I'll be right back." And then she went to where Cloud was, leaving Noctis with a puzzled look on his face. Cloud was about to exit the bar when Tifa stopped his tracks.

"Cloud, wait!" she called.

He stooped and turned around to meet her.

"You're not going to leave without saying goodbye, don't you?" she teased him.

Cloud chuckled a bit and then narrowed his eyes tenderly at her.

"Of course not." He smirked.

Tifa leaned forward to press a soft kiss on his cheek and then wrapped her arms around his waist. Cloud does the same over her shoulders and he pulls her close to him. Tifa releases him from the embrace and searched for his lips, which she took them hard and deep. While he was kissing her, Cloud opened his eyes to focus on Noctis. Noctis on the other hand, was watching them from the corner of his eye and went back to his meal when he felt Cloud's gaze on him. Cloud narrowed his eyes at him fiercely and Tifa felt some tension between them and immediately pulled away from his lips to look at him in the eye.

"Is something wrong?" she asked confused.

Cloud turned his attention back to her and simply smiled. "No, my love. Everything is just fine." He placed a hand on her face and cupped her cheek. She smiled tenderly and once again, they join their lips in a sweet kiss.

"Don't be late." She whispered in his ear.

"I won't." he replied softly before pressing a brief kiss on her forehead. And with that, he went outside.

Tifa returned to tend the bar and she was smiling like a dork. Noctis saw her smiling face and simply chuckled.

"So now Spiky and you are a couple?" he teased her.

Tifa blushed madly at his comment and simply nodded in response. Noctis chuckled even more when he saw her reaction. She was smiling all the time and he was really enjoying this as well. He haven't seen her so happy and her happiness was filling his heart with joy. Although he felt something for her, he was relieved that her feelings were reciprocated by Cloud.

After having finished his meal, he stood from the barstool and prepared to leave.

"Thanks for the meal, Teef. It was delicious." He paid her.

"You're leaving so soon?" she asked puzzled.

"Yeah, I need to take care of some family business;" he sighed. "And I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until it's done." He affirmed.

"So, you're going back to your country?" she asked sadly.

"That's right." He nodded.

"I see..." She lowered her gaze. "The bar nights are not going to be the same without you..." she tried to smile.

"Well, one thing is for sure now... At least you're not going to be alone anymore." He winked at her. Tifa smiled warmly at his words and then nodded.

"Hmph!" she replied.

"Well, I better get going then. Take care, Tifa. It's been a pleasure." He bowed and Tifa did the same. Noctis turned around and headed for the exit when suddenly Tifa called out to him.

"Noctis?" she shouted.

He immediately turned around to face her one last time.

"Thank you." She said with a smile on her face. Noctis narrowed his eyes and also smiled at her. And then, he went outside.

When Noctis exited the front door, he noticed that Cloud was still there on the bar's entrance. He was leaning on his motorcycle with his arms crossed and with his eyes shut. Noctis stood there for a moment and then he let out a small chuckle. He continued his way and just when he went near him, he stopped

"Take care of her." He said without turning his gaze.

Cloud opened his eyes without looking at him. "I will." He replied simply.

Noctis smirked at this and continued his way. Cloud followed him with his gaze as he disappears into the crowd, until there was no sign of him. After making sure he wasn't at sight, he put on his goggles and took off on his Fenrir with a smile on his face.

End.

A/N: So there you have it! ^w^ a much better ending for this fic tee hee! XD

Cloud's jealousy is always been so hilarious! XDD and it kinda suits him well :3 makes him look more hotter! *O*

As for Noctis... I've tried to keep his personality and his seeming shy but cool guy facade, but for some reason, I like him better with a much more confident personality.

Tifa was the naive in this one o.o I think in the end she wanted to keep both u.u and I don't blame her... who wouldn't want to keep those babies as their own? XDD

Anyway, I really had fun doing this fic :3 and thanks again for the reviews :3 hope I get more with this one lol XD

See ya soon! ;)
