And what would you be basing any of this off of? In fact, start from square one- show support for the idea that Cloud had romantic intentions about the flower girl.

But to soundly kibosh notions of Flower girl pining: Reunion Files, the latest source on all things FF7:AC, has quotes from Nomura and Nojima, stating that from the very beginning, one of the things concrete in their conception of the movie was that Tifa was a Koibito, a lover, and that she and Cloud were together.

Now, no more of this silly Clerith nonsense, ya hear?

Given maiden's revelation that the image of cloud she thought so fondly off was basically a carbon copy of zack, yeah, most likely.
