“Hey, Light?”
Lightning paused, looking up from polishing her weapon and glancing over at Tifa.
“Yeah, what is it?”
Tifa walked over to her and quickly took a seat on the grass next to the strawberry blonde, leaning back on her hands, letting the breeze whisk through her hair.
“What is it?” Lightning repeated, turning back to her handiwork.
“I was just curious,” Tifa began wistfully, “If you had someone back home. A special guy, that is,” she clarified.
Not looking back up, Lightning let out the smallest of chuckles. “That was what you wanted to ask?” She exhaled softly, allowing herself to be slightly amused that Tifa had that on her mind now of all times. “We could be attacked at any minute, you know.”
“I know,” Tifa nodded. Of course, they hadn’t been in a fight for a while, and it had given Tifa time to think. Time to wonder at her life here. A strange, unnatural world. Endless battles. New friends and new foes from all different worlds and dimensions, yet not so different from her own world’s co-inhabitants. Speaking of whom, she wasn’t looking forward to fighting Sephiroth again (although Lightning would have no objection, she figured). As for Cloud… well, she thought she just might prefer to be back to a time with that confusing love triangle with Aerith, with all its tangled and hectic emotions.
That way, at least, he’d know who I was…
She sighed. Lightning cleared her throat, bringing her back to the present.
“Tifa, we don’t really have time for-
“You remind me of him, you know?”
Lightning blinked and turned back to her fellow warrior, who had her eyes fixed curiously on the l’Cie’s face.
“Huh?”
Tifa tilted her head. With Cloud on her mind like that, it had been strangely easy to see the similarities between him and Lightning once she had snapped out of her reverie.
“Cloud. You remind me of him a little.”
“That warrior of Chaos? I fought him. He’s nothing special,” Lightning said.
“It’s interesting though, you must admit. You both have that outwardly cool, indifferent appearance, and try to shoulder the world’s burdens on your own.”
Lightning wasn’t thrilled at being analyzed this way, even by the woman she had come to value professionally and even personally over the course of this conflict.
“But it’s…kind of just an act,” Tifa continued, hesitantly. “Deep down, you both do care. You both have things you’re fighting to protect with your lives… Well, at least Cloud does,” she said, remembering his promise to her.
Lightning cringed inside. Images of Serah flashed through her mind. Visions of Hope. Even-though she would rather sniff a foul odor than admit it-Snow. Everyone’s face swam through her mind in an instant.
Tifa had noticed, her gaze still fixed on her friend. “Guess I was right.”
Lightning remained silent.
“So…how about my question then?” Tifa asked softly. “Is there someone like that among those you want to protect?”
“…No, not really,” Lightning admitted stoically. “But, it’s not really a big deal.” She looked back at Tifa and suddenly felt uncharacteristically nervous at the intense look her friend was still giving her. “Um, Tifa?”
“I’m sorry you haven’t met that special someone yet,” Tifa said, her voice low, almost like she was in a daze. “It’s amazing though… You really do remind me…”
Lightning grew red as Tifa slowly moved closer to her, their faces nearing each other’s.
“W-why are you looking at me like that?”
“I really miss him…” Tifa confessed, her face now close enough for Lightning to feel the girl’s warm breath on her lips. “And seeing you, Light, it’s just bringing all these feelings out… He’s amazing, and you are too, in such similar ways.” She inched closer, the passion evident in her eyes.
“T-Tifa?” Lightning found herself unable to back away.
