[he looked down to Nike with widened eyes as he could see the flickering expression on Nike's face. crap...he said something he shouldn't have, didn't he? there was only a six year gap between them, and yet Cloud felt like he was no older than she was. at least, when it came to anything remotely linked to romance. but it seemed as though he'd made the right decision to be brave for both their sakes.
