Disclaimer : Just so you know, -none- of the characters mentioned in this
fanfic belong to me. (Not that I wouldn't mind having Vincent ^.~. Hehehe.)
Anyway, please enjoy the story.
Fore ground : this story doesn't really have an exact period of time where it fits in, and takes place. So, I suppose you'll just have to imagine that much =).
'Tifa! You're gonna bake yourself out there. Come in; you've had enough sun." Yuffie Kisaragi, the slim, youthful ninja girl called out from the open door of Costa Del Sol's most luxurious hotel. A small smile crossed the basking beauty on the beach's face, as she gave a slight roll of her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I'm coming." She replied, sitting up in her beach chair. It's true that she had spent most of her day in the sun. Had she been given fairer skin, she'd be burnt to a crisp right about then.
Upon entering the hotel's spacious lobby, Tifa glanced at the faces of each one of her friends and comrades. Although they were indeed very close to one another, they rarely spent their time during the day together. The only two that actually paired up and 'hung out' were Aeris and Cloud. Tifa rarely saw then during the day, but often pondered what they did together. A ping of jealously crossed Tifa's mind whenever she saw Aeris with Cloud. It was true that Tifa always had a certain 'thing' for him, and really didn't like to see him so close to any other women.
A slinking figure stepped out of the shadows, and into the dimly lit lobby. Tifa finally realized that she hadn't seen Vincent at first, and really didn't take notice. Another ping of guilt threatened to take over her mind. "..I can't believe you can stay out in the light for so long, Tifa. A few moments away from my shadows would cause me to go into rage.." The pale, gorgeous man drawled.
"Ohhh, Vinnie, don't be WEIRD!" Yuffie shouted, throwing her arms into the air. Vincent gave an incredibly small smile, and Tifa had the feeling that she's the only one who noticed it. Oddly enough, it seemed as though Vincent and Yuffie had really taken to each other in the past few weeks, often times Tifa had seen them together on the beach late at night, walking along it's shores.
"Gawd, would someone PLEASE talk already?!" Yuffie exclaimed, kicking at some invisible object, "ya'll are being SO boring!" Barret looked up from his newspaper. "What, Yuffie? I'm sorry, I'm a trifle deaf in one ear." The whole group cracked up laughing, including Yuffie herself.
"Settle down, kids!" a man from a room upstairs who was obviously into his late-sixties called down at them, "You're gonna wake the dead!" This caused everyone to laugh even more loudly, and Yuffie to fall to the ground, clutching her side. "It is getting rather late, perhaps we should all get into bed now? You never know what surprises may wait for us tomorrow." Finally, Tifa's attention was shifted away from Yuffie, and back to Aeris and Cloud.
Cloud was slumped down into a lobby chair, looking nearly exhausted. Having his legs slumped down on the floor and his eyes nearly closed, it looked like he'd been through some real action that day. Tifa really didn't care to wonder what sort of 'action' him and Aeris could have engaged in. Aeris stood next to Cloud, resting one hand on his shoulder, while peacefully watching the rest of the group. They looked so very charming together.
"Rest is an essential part of life." Nanaki commented out of the blue, walking into the center of the room, and settling himself down. Yuffie made an over-dramatic roll of her eyes, stomping her foot down. "If you all want to be boring, that's quite fine with me! I'm going outside to watch the stars. It's really quite dark out there.." Yuffie sent a sidelong glance at Vincent, which he returned.
Vincent stood against the wall, obviously waiting for the rest of the group to clear out before following Yuffie outside for their midnight stroll. Getting this hint, Tifa merrily clapped her hands. "Well, I'm out for tonight. See you all later." Tifa climbed up the banister and into the room that she shared with Nanaki. Lying down on her bed, Tifa became lost in thought about Cloud and Aeris, Vincent and Yuffie, and who she could ever find to love her..
