A Xmas gift for everyone’s fav red haired Turk <3

this is my secret santa for Leader Reno!

Aerith was in the church decorating the church with Christmas decorations, she got Cloud to in with helping her with bringing in the tree , Then Aerith and Tifa started decorating, putting ornaments and lights around the tree and one to be mthey decorated it together, putting a star on top, Cloud was close by in case they needed him, they even invited little Marlene who was excitedly helping with putting garland around the benches with flowers.

Aerith smiled seeing their work finishing up “there I think that should do it!, looks just like how Mom would do it at home, thanks Marlene, Tifa, and Cloud!” She said with smile to them and did a high five with Tifa, Tifa high-fived back “of course, Iv always wanted to do something festive like this around the holidays, and who better then our flower girl!” Marlene giggled and nodded looking up to them “it looks so pretty!” Cloud wasn’t to into the spirit of course but he tried for Tifa and Aerith “it looks alright… good work.” Just then Cloud looked serious as he was reaching for his buster sword looking to the entrance, Marlene looked a little scared as she went by Tifa.

Tifa wasn’t sure what was coming though she heard footsteps, she looked as well ready for a fight, Aerith sighed then shook her head “it’s ok don’t worry!… i actually invited them this time.” Cloud looked puzzled “you.. what?” Aerith chuckled. “They promise to hold off fighting and come purely because of Christmas, they aren’t bad people… and Iv known them for a long time.” She said looking to Cloud.

Cloud looked serious and wasn’t gonna let any harm come to the 3 girls, but, he trusted Aerith’s word, sighing “if you say so, but I have my eye on then.” Soon a red haired Turk came in holding is electro rod for a moment in response “oh is that so?… Mr bodyguard.., you heard the lady I’m not here to fight your group, Aerith invited us.” He then looked to the flower girl “Tseng sends his regards and apologizes for not being able to make it.., he has work to attend to.”

Aerith let out a soft pout “aww… iv known him since I was a child, it would have been nice… oh well I guess, least you showed up!” She then saw Tifa and cloud, and especially Marlene who was scared, patting her head “all is ok I promise, he’s a friend kind of.” while they talked Tifa sighed and put down her fists “I guess if she says it’s ok…” Cloud continued glaring to Reno “whatever.” He said as he went to Tifa.

Tifa smiled down to little Marlene as she pat the girls head comforting her.

Reno noticed the little girl was terrified of him, sighing, looking to her he tried smiling “I’m not that bad of a guy.” He tried saying as he went to calmly pat her head hoping to calm her a little, it seemed to work, or at least a little, maybe, as the girl looked up to him “daddy said all shines are bad, but you seem..nice?”

Aerith giggled seeing this while they talked close to the Christmas tree “he and their leader are.. special to me, they even once helped me keep in with someone close to me..” she then brushed off the feelings before they brought her sadness “it’s Christmas! And probably little Marlene’s first! So let’s have fun! I even got everyone some gifts.” She chuckled.

Aerith handed out presents to everyone, Tifa opened hers finding a photograph with her and Aerith together, titled best friends, Clouds was , a flower, it was very similar to the one she had given to him before when they first met, and Reno’s was a art piece she drew of him with the other Turks she knew of “it’s not the greatest but I been trying” Tifa smiled and hugged Aerith “thank you! I love it!” Aerith chuckling “I would have done anything to have a friend like you Tifa, and cloud.” Reno couldn’t help but smile “oh it’s good, thank you , I’ll have to hang it up in the office.”

The flower girl smiled handing the last one to Marlene, it was a cute doll meant for a young girl “Thank you Aerith!” She said hugging her, she pat the little girl’s head “I’m glad you like, I asked around at the orphanage about what the girls liked who were around your age.” She said looking to her.
