OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is just perfect, in every way. Your characterizations of Cloud and Rufus are spot on, and the heat you build between them in such a short piece is really intense. I adore your Cloud's inner dialogue and simply adore your Cloud. He'd often written so badly in fandom, but you wrote him perfectly in my humble opinion. The same goes for Rufus. Thank you so much for the fill!!
