14 for your wolship!

14) Anything they both dread?

What Cid and Fortuna both dread is mainly Fortuna dying. She's the one going out and saving the world and from time to time Cid helps - and they do PDA even when it's Saving The World stuff and are very cute and sometimes it's so cute it's sick but what can you do - but when he isn't he's just waiting for any kind of word that she's okay. When she goes off to the First he is raising their daughter mostly alone - he'll go to the Rising Stones and hang out with literally anyone he can find so he doesn't go mad with worry also he's new to the whole dad thing and he needs all the help he can get, also Tataru makes the baby clothes it's VERY cute - and she's back fairly soon. It feels like that to them anyway, but it's a lot longer on the First since time passes differently and all that.

In "Endwalker" he's VERY aware of the stakes, and that while going to a completely different world entirely is one thing, going to the far edges of the universe is completely different and absolutely terrifying to him. That's mainly because he's helping build the ship that's going to get all of them there so he's doing tons of hard work making sure everything is perfect and the trip goes smoothly, but the worst part is the waiting. Cid knows Fortuna will succeed, she always does, it's just feeling the minutes and the hours pass by so slowly it's agonizing. He's pacing around all nervous, trying to find something to build or fix, finding something to work on, overthinking, and then snapping a wrench in half because he cannot bear thinking about living in a world without Fortuna. Nero's just off to the side seeing Cid accidentally break tools like 👁️👁️ okay I hope Jessie doesn't charge us for that because he cannot read the room.

And sure, Cid can get into some factory accident and there's a horrible explosion that mortally wounds or maims him, even though he is incredibly careful. Most of the time, anyway, because when Fortuna is off on an adventure he comes up with increasingly wild inventions to take up time. And then she'll come home and be like "Why'd you make the grill freeze things instead of cook things" and he just says it was because he got bored and missed her so much. Cid is very much a malewife and he won't shut up about being married to the Warrior of Light it's very cute.

But at the core of it they dread losing each other, or being separated, or having to live without the other. That's what keeps them up and what they have nightmares about and dread more than anything.

Thank you !! :]
