Do you know how novel and exciting having cover fire is? That part truly tipped me over into love for Biggs, and Cloud would be grateful too. And then there's always the possibility of SOLDIER hearing and Cloud hearing Biggs say, "That one's a keeper."
After getting down from the plate, Cloud walks Wedge home and then meets Jessie as she insisted. But when he checks on Biggs he finds the man anxious and fretful, and Cloud himself is still wide-awake after jumping off the plate... driving stressful thoughts out of Biggs mind is the perfect opportunity to try making a move.
++Biggs has a mission tomorrow that Cloud (as far as he knows rn) isn't going on, and he surprises Biggs with the considerate assumption that he'll be bottoming, given Biggs can't afford a limp and Cloud has mako healing. (tho whether he's "bottoming" or riding Biggs, idc.)
+++Tenderness. It just really struck me how kind Biggs seems.
++++Biggs lives. Cloud dumps potions and healing spells on him, maybe even a hyper to get his adrenaline going. Anything to get him on his feet and heading back down the tower.
