Fics like Tread Softly

“You’re a SOLDIER, aren’t you?” Rufus made the question seem more like a statement, like he did not need confirmation from someone he considered lesser. Given the attitude of his father, before his untimely skewering, the condescension wasn’t too much of a surprise and Cloud wondered if Rufus would care for the passing of his only remaining relative. Doubtful, given the rumours that circulated about the intense dislike between the now-dead President and his Heir Apparent. There was no love lost there. “Which, of course,” Those cold blue eyes narrowed as Rufus continued, the corner of his lips curling up in something that could have been a smile in any other circumstance, but was more a clever concealment of sharp teeth ready to bite, “Would mean that I own you.” Cloud scoffed loudly to hide how much he wanted to bristle in disgust, the sudden repulsion as he tossed his head enough to throw blonde hair across his face, but by the way Rufus’ smile blossomed into something truly carnivorous, it seemed he wasn’t chagrined in the least at the disrespectful response. That was Shinra’s way. It was all about ownership. All about staking a claim. “Ex-SOLDIER.” Cloud bit out, shortly, “I quit.”
