Vincent's darkened frame stood befhis his new group of friends, if you would call them this. Two years after they defeated Sephiroth, and Aeris had died. They mostly all looked the same, and decided to stay together. We helped Tifa rebuild her bar, which she called 7th Heaven yet again, I don't understand why, since the other was destroyed. Cloud was his regular self, he lives in his Villa, you can tell you really does love it.. Barret married Aeris's mother, and they kept Marlene as their daughter. Red went back to Cosmo Canyon to take over the place, and Cid married Shera, and they lived in Rocket Town. Reeve, or Cait Sith, put the stuffed mog away, and met up with us. Yuffie, didn't go back to her hometown, I think she just stays around us for the materia. As for me, I've been a wreck, but I'll be fine.

"Cloud!" Tifa's voice rang through the air, causing my head to spin. I truly feel sorry for the male, having the girl all over him, but he seems to like it. Although I seem to despise it.

"What Tifa?" Cloud's voice responded, as he went over to her. The female was cooking for us, we were of course in Cloud's villa.

"Where do you keep the pans? "She asked, as I shook my head, even I knew that question. Maybe she just wanted his attention?

"Here.." He said, opening the cabinet for the other, smiling lightly as she threw her arms around him, "Oh! Thanks Cloud!" She cried out, smiling.

I shivered, grumbling, was I jealous? Of course not! The two were certainly in love, and I couldn't do anything about it, I should be happy. I frowned, yet I'm not, "I think I'm going to go.." I said, turning away.

Cloud managed to walk over to me, shaking his head, "We didn't even have dinner yet, Vincent."

"I'm not hungry." I said, glancing to the male in slight annoyance.

"Oh come on Vincent." Tifa pouted, causing me to sneer, why couldn't they tell I didn't wish to stay?
Cloud then nodded, "Yeah Vincent, you said you wanted to eat over."

I then lost it, turning to the male I shoved him, "Can't you tell I'm not hungry? Now leave me be!" I mumbled. Then I turned, and left the two there.

Walking across the fields I sighed, watching out for any monsters. Sadly, they didn't leave, and lurked around some places. My mind screamed at me for shoving the male, but I shook it away. After defeating Sephiroth, I started to care for the blonde male. But of course, I know he couldn't care for me, I'm a.. I stopped my train of thoughts, what shall I call myself? I growled in annoyance shaking my head angrily.

After awhile I made it home, opening the door I stalked in. Like always it was quiet, glancing around I went to sit down, until a few knocks came at the door. I sighed, running my fingers over the handle of my gun, then opened the door.

"Yes?" I asked, not really paying attention.

"Why did you leave, you scared Tifa you know.. How you acted." A familiar voice said.

I glanced to the person, Cloud. Sighing lightly, "I don't feel good." I lied, but he believes it before eyeing me. The male then pushed past me and walked in.

"Well, I'll make you something to eat." He said, walking to the kitchen.

Shaking my head, I grabbed his arm, holding him back, "No. I'm not hungry. "I said, eyeing the male before me. He glanced to his arm, then my hand then shrugged, "Ah.." I then let go, nodding. "Sorry.." I mumbled.

The male shook his head; throwing me a smile, "Don't worry about it! Maybe you can eat over another day. "I nodded at this, smiling lightly.

Cloud blinked, "So why don't you feel well? "Don't this guy ever give up? My brain screamed at me, and I shrugged softly. "I don't know." I lied again, tugging at my shield in front of my face I sighed. "Just tired."

The male cocked an eyebrow, then prodded at me lightly, "You're lying aren't you.." My body flinched at the touch, and I chuckled, "Ah.. Yeah.." The male laughed, shaking his head, "I can tell."

Glancing down, then slightly at Cloud, "What should I do..? I love someone, but I don't think h-she loves me." I whispered, what was I doing?

Cloud blinked, at the sudden change," Well.. Tell her how you feel!" He nodded, and then I winced.

Placing my hands on Cloud's shoulder, we both smiled slightly, "Thanks.. Cloud, lets hope, h-I mean, she doesn't reject me.." I caught myself, very lucky.

He nodded, slightly confused at the stutter but nevertheless agreed. I felt my body tense lightly, and I sighed. My eyes drifted shut lightly, and Cloud shifted, watching me slightly, I could feel this. I was mumbling, too low for other to hear, I didn't even notice. Then with a quick movement, I leaned over, brushing my lips softly over his. Cloud's eyes widened, as he tensed, started to step away, but I couldn't let him. Pulling him closer, I kissed the male as softly as I could, but it was broken when he shoved me, and I fell to the ground. Damn it, now the male I care for is scared of me! I glared at Cloud for rejecting me, and got up, stalking off to the kitchen.

"Vincent..? How could you..? You know I love Tifa!" He yelled at me, and my body tensed again.

"Get the hell out of my house, Cloud." I growled, he stuttered then stepped away, as I turned to him, my limit was coming on. He shook his head, and hurried out of the house, and I stalked to the kitchen. Why did he have to shove me? My limit died down, as I took the knife from the holder, and sat down idly, leaning against the cabinets twirling it in my fingers. He could of just said stop, and I would of… Not thro me down like trash! I growled, and a swift movement the blade ripped through my arm. Why.. Was I doing this? Abusing myself.. It isn't right, but my body seems to want it.. I then continued the torture knew I most likely wasn't going to see the male again..

After awhile I was sitting in my own blood, and my body was covered in deep cuts. I chuckled softly, as I closed my eyes, leaning my head back softly. Was I going to die now? I suppose.. It wouldn't be so bad.

The door then creaked open, and the blonde had returned, looking around, he headed were Vincent had went, although I was out, I could hear his gasp and hurried footsteps over to me, was he going to help me?

I heard the clang of metal, then I was off the ground, my eyes slightly fluttered open, as I glanced at him, and smiled slightly.
"Come on Cloud.. Leave me here, to die..!" I whispered, and he glanced to me, I noted we were heading for the bathroom.

"I can't.. do that Vincent, you're a friend of mine.." His voice was soft, or maybe it was because of the blood loss.

"But.. I.." I tried to finish but I was cut off, "No! Just.. Forget about it for now.." He said, and I blinked, forget about it..? It's harder than you can guess Cloud.

I was then placed on the floor, and I shivered, watching the male look around for anything. My body shivered, and then the blackness covered my sight, and I was out.
