[Cloud looks up at Sephiroth when he moves with slightly widened eyes. So what he suspected is true - Zack really is from the future. And Sephiroth is right; whenever Cloud's tried to bring it up with Zack, he finds ways to avoid talking about it in any detail.
His jaw drops a little when Sephiroth talks about his dreams. How does the general know that? Why would he bring it up now unless...? Unless that is his future. But why would Zack hide that from him?
A quiet gasp escapes him as Zack grabs Sephiroth and his protective instincts kick in - he takes a few hurried steps toward them, hand half-outstretched, and he's not sure which of them he'd even be trying to protect if they did fight. But it doesn't quite come to that, and Cloud's brow furrows as Zack shouts at Sephiroth. What is he talking about? Why would Sephiroth have an issue with either of them?
And then Zack tells him straight up that he doesn't make SOLDIER, and Cloud barely hears the rest. He knew it. He knew he'd never have what it took. He almost let Zack convince him he had a chance, but he should have known better.
But even though his heart feels like it's in the gutter, there's more going on here, and he frowns.]
...Zack, none of that explains why you're so pissed off at Sephiroth. What's going on?
