Summary
Cloud Strife never expected to receive personal training from ShinRa’s legendary hero, Sephiroth. As a new SOLDIER recruit, Cloud struggles to find his place among the ranks, but Sephiroth’s guidance pushes him to grow stronger—both in combat and confidence.
However, what starts as admiration for his instructor soon deepens into something more. From the intensity of their training sessions to the surprising warmth of their late-night text exchanges, Cloud finds himself falling for the enigmatic General.
But Sephiroth is a man of discipline, power, and mystery. Does he even notice the subtle hints of Cloud’s feelings? Or is he simply playing along, unaware of the storm brewing in his young trainee’s heart?
As Cloud improves in his training, their bond grows stronger—but so does the tension. Can Cloud resist the pull of his growing infatuation, or will he risk it all to discover if there’s more to Sephiroth’s demeanor than meets the eye?
