Summary
Cloud is the new bassist of Vortex, an up-coming band in the myriad that are competing in the Battle of the Bands. He is blunt & cold to everyone, even his bandmates. In fact, he doesn’t speak much and barely gives anybody attention. But when Full Bloom needs a guitarist real bad ‘cuz one of the members can’t perform, he gets all awkward and clumsy around a certain singer named Aerith.
Yeah, that totally breaks his aloof persona and that’s just what the singer wanted all along.
At times, he’s like a daffodil — sweet, fragile yet resilient at the same time. Ready to embark into something new, clumsily flourishing in her hands as he laughs highly like nobody else ever sees him. In those moments, she wonders why her? What was it about her attitude that made him open up like leaves of yellow daffodils?
Slowly plucking the loose strands of her hair behind her ears and leaning closer with the prudence necessary (if not more than). He expected nothing from her at all and if she had to guess, he would’ve never been disappointed if she rejected him.
But she could never oppose him.

Summary
Cloud strife had always been an outsider to his hometown. All he wanted in those days was to show everyone he wasn’t what they thought: a trouble maker.
But when he leaves — first in Nibelheim and then away from Midgar’s Sector 7 — he does so never to be seen again but can nobody really penetrate inside the cold, aloof exterior that Cloud has always put on for appearances? Or will he learn that there’s more to himself than just being weak?
What will he do when his past approaches, starts to haunt him again? And what does that mean for the florist, who he has slowly loosened his guard around? Will she stand still and wait his return in frustration as Shinra corners her everywhere she goes?
