Disclaimer:I don't own Final Fantasy VII or any of its characters. This is only a fan story written by an adoring fan of the Vincent & Yuffie paring!

Story inspired by the song "Shut Up and Dance" by WALK THE MOON. This song is anything but Vincent Valentine. Therefore, I HAD to take the challenge. But then again, I could see Yuffie having fun with this song. Ha ha! Let's see where this goes!

And Go to Sleep

Yuffie looked at the many pairs of eyes staring at her. Some were filled with too much sadness and some were obviously bouncing around with many opinions threatening to come out. She was amazed how well she could read her friends. It was too bad they were having trouble reading her.

"Guys, I'm fine with this," she said smiling. "Let's be honest; the simple idea of leading Wutai would make anyone quiver in their boots. My only goal was to make my dear dad happy and it seems I've failed. I plan to just hang around Edge until I can get a better plan figured out. Heck if Cloud can straighten his head then I can make up a plan."

"Low blow," Cloud said with a friendly glare on his face.

Yuffie held her fingers up like a fake gun and motioned to shoot him. "Pew, pew."

"Fine, fine." Tifa stood with her arms raised in defense as if the fake gun were pointed towards her instead of her kind of boyfriend. "How sold are you on staying in this area?"

Yuffie shrugged and gave a wink to Vincent. "Vinnie seems pretty happy here, and that's saying something. I may find it to be a fun place to hang out. I'm sure there are some cheap apartments around the city."

"! #$ it," Cid scratched his chin and got out of his seat. "I have an airship to catch. I'll let you guys sort out the rest of this damn mess. Good luck, Yuffie."

"Thanks you worthless clod," Yuffie said and stuck out her tongue. "Speaking of old men, Vinnie, where are you staying these days?"

"I bought a small home a couple streets away from this bar. I don't know much about the place I was at, but they were always looking for people to fill up the empty apartments," Vincent said and then finished off his glass of wine. "But you should look into a job first and find a home nearby there."

"Good thinkin'!" Yuffie skipped over to Tifa and gave her a look of innocence. "How hurting are you for work here?"

"You're too young to work behind the bar, but I could always use some help cleaning up after the customers." She smiled to Cloud and he bobbed his head. Yuffie punched the air. "So look for a place nearby here. I would offer my place, but we don't have a spare room anymore."

"That's okay," Yuffie said and shrugged. "I'll let you by with giving me a job. Now, Vinnie on the other hand."

"Who saw this coming?" Barret asked with a gruff laugh.

"Yes, Yuffie?" Vincent asked with false puzzlement. He knew what she wanted but he was going to make her say it.

"Can I please, please, please stay at your place until I find my own home? I swear I won't be super annoying and I'll do whatever you need me to do! Please, please, please!" Yuffie jumped a few times as she begged with her hands clasped together. She fell in front of him on her knees and looked up to his visible smiling face. It was odd to always see his expressions these days, but she could grow to get used to it. Vincent held an oddly attractive side to him. She never noticed it with his bulky guns, dark clothes and red cloak. Okay, he still wore the dark clothes. Baby steps were better than no steps! "Please, please, please!"

Vincent shook his head and Yuffie's heart began to sink in her stomach. "You don't need to beg me. I had a feeling this was coming after you told your story."

"How so?!" Yuffie jumped to her feet and gave him a childish glare. "I never planned to stay at your place!"

"Well, I knew Tifa would hate for you to stay at a motel and I knew no one but I had a spare bedroom to offer," Vincent said and smiled. "Luckily, the bedroom is only a waste of space for me at the moment. Nothing is there so I can allow a friend stay there when needed."

"Really, Vinnie?" Yuffie gave a frustrated face. "Vincent…I need to grow up if I want to live with Mr. Vincent Valentine!"

Vincent stood and shook his head as he walked away. His leaving words were barely caught by Yuffie and the others. "You don't need to change if you want to stay with me."

Everyone was left in shock as Yuffie yelled in joy. She chased after him and they watched her leave the bar with Vincent.

"It's getting late. Did you eat enough?" Vincent asked. "I have a little bit at home, but most of the time I go out to eat."

"Mr. Fancy," Yuffie teased. "No, I ate enough thanks to Tifa. I think she was trying to stuff me into a whole new size! I don't know what's wrong with her lately!"

Vincent continued to lead the way as Yuffie talked on and on about her journey from Wutai to Edge. He knew when she grew tired or weak she used talking as her defense. Any time Yuffie was uncomfortable she also spoke a lot. It was rare to see her in that state so he knew he sleep would come as soon as they got home. His new home with Yuffie Kisaragi.

"Vinnie, is this really your home," she asked with shock on her face.

"Yes it is," he answered. He stepped around her and unlocked the front door. "Your bedroom is this way."

Yuffie took in every corner, every shelf, every piece of furniture, everything. Vincent was no longer the same man she once knew. How long had he been changing?

"Tomorrow we'll get your sheets washed, but I think they should be fine for one night," Vincent said. He walked over the far window and made sure it was closed tightly as Yuffie sat down on the bed. She bounced a little before crawling under the blanket.

"Vinnie, I am glad we found you in that coffin so many years ago," she said. Vincent continued to look out the window as he felt her run beginning. He wouldn't comment and just let her run out. "You've always been so quiet, but very interesting. I can't believe you aren't a vampire. I mean, how long did you stay in there? Much too long in my opinion. I think you should get out more and get more sun. You are freakishly pale and still look like a vampire. You need to get out in the sun more so you can get a girlfriend…actually, scratch that. You would look really creepy with tan skin. Vinnie is a pale kind of guy. Now me on the other hand. I look damn fine with a touch of sun! I can't believe I'm not going to get the beautiful rays from Wutai any more. There were some really great spots to catch the warmth of the sun. I spent a lot of my free time there when I first ended my materia run. My dad knew nothing about that spot! Ah, I loved hiding from him."

"Yuffie," Vincent called her name as he approached her. "Shut up and go to sleep."

Yuffie snickered and covered her head with the large comforter. "Vinnie said shut up."

Vincent smiled as he walked out of her room. He flipped off the light switch and pulled her door closed. It wasn't going to be bad with Yuffie staying at his home. But it was going to be different. There was no way to tell how long she would be there. It was bound to be interesting for everyone.

Please, R&R! I hope this seems like it could happen. Maybe just some parts, but it's not too out there, right? Well, thanks for reading! Their story isn't done yet! Follow for updates on more chapters soon!
