It's so funny cuz when Cloud isn't interested in a girl he'll straight back her off. He could easily do this same with Aerith but nooo he hugs her back, takes the initiative to interlace fingers with her, etc..
@ohdangshereal
He… does. He tells her to stop calling it a date etc. acts annoyed etc. You know who he doesn’t do any of that with…? Tifa. Who is endgame and always has been.
