Wearing a dress plus riding on Fenrir was not an ideal combination. Wearing a dress plus killer heels plus riding on Fenrir was an even worse combination. It hadn't stopped Tifa from doing both though and she gave Cloud a grin as she stepped out of the house. Despite all the family drama, she was feeling really upbeat tonight. They hadn't been on a date in so long.

"Try not to drive too fast," she said. "I don't want anyone to get an eyeful."

She climbed on the bike behind him and spent several minutes adjusting her skirt until she was sure it wouldn't flap too wildly.

"Okay," she said, sliding her arms around his waist. "Let's go."

Cloud settled on the bike, starting the engine while he waited for her to adjust everything and get comfortable. Her comment made him smile a little and as soon as her arms were around him he squeezed her hand lightly. It was nice to even just have this closeness, knowing she was safely behind him and nothing would happen to her.

"I'm glad we're doing this." Sliding his riding glasses on, he lurched the bike forward, heading off through the streets to get to the restaurant.

Cloud smirked at the reactions people had, a lot of people just staring after them as they rode by. It was nice to not be stared at for who they were for a change.

Skidding to a halt outside the restaurant, Cloud removed the goggles, looking back at her. "Did anyone see your underwear?" His smirk was almost juvenile.

"Cloud!" She smacked him on the arm before climbing off - carefully, of course. Failing at the last hurdle would be embarrassing for sure. Smoothing down her dress, Tifa smiled at him. "There we go."

She waited for Cloud, being the gentleman that he was, to escort her into the restaurant.

He laughed faintly, glad they were both in such high spirits. It was rare for them and it felt good. Cloud was sure he had that light feeling he had once he was sure he'd forgiven himself for the things that happened. It was a releasing feeling.

Holding out his arm, once she'd taken it he led her inside, quiet as they were seated and being the perfect gentleman as he pulled Tifa's chair out for her, seating himself afterwards.
