GOODBYE // Cloud Strife x Reader
Y/n sat in her room in 7th Heaven, watching for Cloud to come back to her. It's been days since he been home and it worries her. As she coughs, the black substance comes out. She frowns, she wanted to tell the others that she has the Geostigma but doesn't want them to worry about her. She knew Denzel has it and everyone is scared for him but is having false hope because Cloud is the one looking for the cure for him.
Someone knocks on her door, y/n quickly washes off the black substance off her hand and mouth before opening the door to see Marlene. Giving her a fake smile, she asks the young girl, "Wassup Marlene?"
The little girl giggles, "I'm wondering if you want to go see the flowers at the church with Tifa and I." I smile sweetly at her before nodding. Marlene takes my hand and brings me to where Tifa is. "I got her!" Tifa laughs at how determined the girl is for y/n to go with them.
When the three arrive to the church, Y/n noticed some of Clouds things. "Has Cloud been staying here?" Marlene questions Tifa and y/n. This causes the c/h girl to frown. The younger girl grabs a cloth. Y/n peaks over to see the same color substance she cough out before they got here. "It's just like Denzel's ." And mine. Y/n thought.
She started to cough again, and the black substance appears on her hands once again. "Y/n are you okay?" Tifa asks her friend. Y/n quickly rubs away the color and fake smiles at her and nodded.
The next today, the three of them go back to the church hoping they see Cloud. On the way there, Y/n started to cough more than the day before. This worried Tifa and Marlene, but they didn't ask any questions. "Guys, I think I'm catching a cold." She lies so they don't worry as much. Marlene believes her but not Tifa.
As they all walk around the church once again hoping to see any signs that he's been here was interrupted by a squeal. Tifa and Y/n both turn to see Marlene in some guys arms.
"Let her go!" Tifa shouts at the guy.
"Where's mother." The guy asks them.
"Who? Sorry bud but we don't What mother you're talking about." Y/n sassily snaps back, glaring at the guy.
The guy tilts his head to her, "You should know, you are my sister." Y/n's face held confused at his statement.
"Sister? I don't have a brother. I think you are just crazy." Before anyone can say anything, Tifa attacks the guy along with Y/n. Marlene runs and hides away from this.
During the fight, when the guy was down, Tifa checks on Marlene as Y/n feels light headed and starts to cough once again. She couldn't hide the Geostigma anymore. Tifa saw this and frowns, why didn't she tell us this. First it's cloud and now it's y/n. No wonder why they are perfect for each other. Tifa thinks. A phone rings, "I'll bring the girl...and our sister." The guy hangs up. Before Y/n can react, he knocks her out cold.
Tifa wakes up to see Cloud sitting on a bed and Reno and Rude behind him. "Are you leaving?" She asks Cloud when he stood up and about to leave. "I know you are having a fight and you're doing it yourself but think about everyone else." She continues. "Denzel needs you. Marlene needs you. I need you. Y/n needs you, Cloud."
He slowly turns to her, "she's better off without me. Everyone else is."
Tifa stands up from the bed, "no that's where you're wrong Cloud." Reno tries to leave but Rude stops him and turns him around. "Y/n has Geostigma." Cloud's face drops along with his heart. The person he wanted to protect has the disease, has it. "She hid it from everyone just like you did. I only found before that guy knocked me out."
"Where are they at?" Cloud asks Reno and Rude. As soon as they told him, he's on his way to get Marlene, Denzel and Y/n back.
Y/n opens her eyes to see that she's getting held up. Her head turns to Marlene to see her scared face and all the kids with cat like eyes. Including Denzel. As a groan escapes from her lips, one of the guys that was talking turn to her with a smirk.
"Sadly one of our sisters is fallen." He walks to her, held her by her chin. "Let's say goodbye." As y/n continue to cough and have the black substance come out her mouth, showing how worse it gotten for her.
The three brothers walk out to see Cloud driving, the Kadaj calls for the kids and causes him to fall off his bike. "Did you come to save our sister." He asks Cloud as he Y/n by the hair.
Cloud saw the black fall from her mouth as she coughs. A pain in his chest, regretting not being there for her. "Let her go." Loz and Yazoo attack Cloud. As he blocks the attacks, he tries to save her.
Kadaj lips lower themselves to her ears, "If you want to get better, drink from the water." Her eyes glance to the water near her. She saw how it effected the kids, she rather die.
"Go to hell." She whispers before kicking her foot to his leg, making him loose his grip on her. She summon her sword and started to fight Kadaj. She knew it was no use but she wanted to help Cloud.
As Cloud is fighting Loz and Yazoo, he saw her fighting Kadaj. As she kicked him in the chest she ran to Cloud and started to fight Loz. Y/n started to cough even more, loosing her guard, Loz punches her knocking her on her hand and knees. Before he can kill her, she kicks his legs making him on the ground and spat the Geostigma in his face.
Y/n started to feel even more lightheaded, as she tries to continue to fight, she fell to her knees and passed out. Cloud noticed this, he went to help but Kadaj appears in front of him.
After the fight, Cloud ran to Y/n. He puts her head in his lap. Vincent walks over to see this. Y/n and him are friends, really good friends. He frowns a bit at the sight of this. "Y-y/n?!" She stutters out. "We need to get her back to seventh heaven."
Cloud looks up to Vincent, "Can you take them? I need to finish something."
"No!" Marlene shouts, glaring at him. "You weren't here when we needed you and you leave!" She ran to Vincent. Cloud gently sets Y/n head on the ground be standing up. Not even seconds later, she wakes up. "Y/n!" Marlene shouts before running to her and hugging her.
"Hey Mar, are you okay?" Y/n asks making sure she's okay. She giggles at her concern.
"I should be asking you this." The little girl states. The e/c meets clouds but he avoids this and is causes y/n frown.
"Are you leaving?" She ask him sadly. She saw her friend behind him. "Hey vinny."
"I don't like that." Vincent states.
"I know." She let out a pity giggle.
Cloud turns to Vincent, Y/n couldn't hear because she started to cough once more. "I'm not going anywhere." Cloud states when he walks over to the two girls he cares about. Marlene sat in front of Cloud as Y/n sat behind him. She leans her head against his back.
"I'm glad you're back." She mumbles as she wraps her arms around his waist. A smile appears on his lips. "Better late than never."
The ride back was fast, the three are outside 7th Heaven. "Marlene, go inside with y/n and hide." Cloud states. The ride there y/n started to cough more and more.
"Marlene you go in, I need to talk to Cloud." y/n tells the little girl. She gave a nod before running inside. She turns her head to the man she fell for. "Are you ready for your fight?" She asks him. He doesn't answer in words only nods. "It's going to be a long fig-" Before she can continue, she starts to cough.
"You should go inside and lay down." Cloud spork in concern.
She only shook her head, "I want to finish. It's going to be a long fight Cloud." She says with a frown. "By the end of it, I might not make it. Even being inside here." She points at 7th Heaven. She places her left hand on his cheek, stroking it softly. "Be careful Cloud. I love you." With that she turns around and walks inside.
"You'll make it. I know you will." He spoke, with you not hearing his voice. "I love you too Y/n." He gets on his bike to go and find Denzel and Tifa.
After the long fight, Cloud rushes inside 7th Heaven with the others following him. He finds Marlene and Denzel crying. His heart breaks in millions. The two look up and ran to him and hug him.
