@BugDevil: Only if you willfully ignore the rather obvious subtext of the "words aren't the only way to convey your feelings" scene between Cloud and Tifa close to the end of FF7, which after the fade-out-to-black is immediately followed by a scene on the Highwind where it's quickly revealed that the rest of the crew saw what happened between the two during that fade-out skip... and Tifa's response to that is utter mortification.
