No, I agree with you there, I don't think Cloud would be interested in any sort of romance during the game. I mean, I think he could consider a romantic relationship in a "could it happen?"-sort of a way, but never too deeply nor too often, if at all. Maybe it would be better to say that his platonic feelings for either Aeris and Tifa have the possibility to become something more, even if it's not likely?
You're totally right about the usual nature of Cloti-fic. Back when I first got into FFVII most Cloti-fics I came across were some sort of variation of a "Tifa pines after unfeeling Cloud and eventually kills herself"-theme which frankly disgusted me. I understand that Tifa can appear somewhat shy and withdrawn in the game, but shy and withdrawn doesn't mean weak and spineless. And don't even get me started with emo-Cloud. Ugh!
No offense taken. On the contrary, I enjoy sharing opinions with others, and yours are very interesting. I like it when somebody makes me think.
