Aerith & Tifa | Final Fantasy (Patreon)

The sun hung low in the sky, painting the horizon in hues of orange and pink as Tifa and Aerith arrived at the secluded beach. It had been Aerith’s idea—a day away from the chaos, where the two of them could breathe and simply exist. Tifa wasn’t one to take breaks often, but Aerith had a way of persuading her with that warm, teasing smile.

As they spread out their blanket on the soft sand, Tifa couldn’t help but admire Aerith’s carefree nature. She had traded her usual pink dress for a flowing sundress, the fabric fluttering in the salty breeze. Tifa felt slightly awkward in her swimsuit, self-conscious despite Aerith’s reassuring words earlier. But when Aerith turned to her, those kind, emerald eyes full of encouragement, Tifa felt a little braver.

They spent the day laughing, splashing in the waves, and collecting shells along the shore. Aerith’s laughter was infectious, and Tifa found herself letting go of her usual guarded demeanor, her smile softening into something genuine and unrestrained. At one point, Aerith took her hand, guiding her into the water where the waves lapped around their knees.

“See? It’s not so bad,” Aerith said, squeezing Tifa’s hand gently.

Tifa looked down at their intertwined fingers, her heart skipping a beat. “Not when you’re here,” she admitted softly.

Aerith’s eyes sparkled, her expression shifting from playful to tender. She tugged Tifa closer, their faces inches apart. “Then I guess I’ll have to stick around, won’t I?”

As the sun dipped below the horizon, they returned to their little beachside cabin. The night air was cool, and Aerith lit a few candles, their flickering light casting a golden glow over the room. Tifa sat on the edge of the bed, watching as Aerith moved about with her usual grace.

When Aerith finally sat beside her, Tifa felt a wave of nervousness but also anticipation. “Aerith…” she began, her voice barely above a whisper.

Aerith placed a hand on Tifa’s cheek, her touch soft and reassuring. “Tifa, you don’t have to say anything,” she murmured, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her forehead.

But Tifa did have something to say. “I think I’ve been falling for you,” she confessed, her voice trembling but her resolve firm.

Aerith’s smile was radiant, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Good,” she replied, cupping Tifa’s face with both hands. “Because I’ve been waiting for you to realize that I’ve been falling for you too.”

Their lips met in a kiss that was soft, slow, and filled with all the emotions they hadn’t been able to put into words until now. That night, they held each other close, sharing whispered confessions and quiet laughter, the sound of the waves outside echoing the rhythm of their hearts.

It was a love they hadn’t expected but one they knew would anchor them in the storms ahead. Together, they found something they hadn’t even realized they’d been searching for: a safe harbor in each other.
