Lying back on the bed in the 'Green Room' of the Traverse Town hotel, Yuffie had nothing to do but listen to the monotonous ticking of the clock and the scraping of Squall/Leon sharpening his gunblade. The boredom was becoming quite intolerable. The ninja lazily rotated her head and peered at that annoying timepiece which didn't function as well as it used to.
"Hey Leon?"
"Hmm."
"Remember when Sora beat the living crap out of that clock?"
Leon gave an affirming nod.
"Just what the actual frick was he thinking?"
The man creased his eyebrows, transforming his face into a visage that was only slightly different from his neutral expression.
"What do you mean? He got something out of it didn't he?"
"Well yeah, but he couldn't have known that would happen." the ninja explained. "It was as if he just got to his feet, wandered around for a bit, spotted the clock and thought to himself- Say, I'll bet something groovy will happen if I repeatedly jump up and strike this hotel property with my spiffy new keyblade.- And then the universe decided to validate his behavior by making a chest appear out of literally nowhere with a mythril inside."
"Now that I think about it, that was pretty weird." Leon conceded.
"I've been noticing a lot of things are pretty weird lately." Yuffie sighed.
"Yuffie. You always get this way when you're bored."
Yuffie frowned.
"Do not! Get what way?"
"You always start thinking too much and noticing things... and asking me lots of questions whenever you're restless and have nothing better to do." He explained as he finished sharpening the blade and began disassembling the gun to clean it. "You should get outside for awhile and... I don't know. Do something."
The young woman stared up at the ceiling and considered the prospect.
"But then I'd have to get up."
Leon groaned.
"Anyway, I was gonna ask you about you'r gunblade next."
"Here we go."
"How is it a gunblade if it doesn't actually shoot anything?"
"It's just called that because it resembles a gun."
"Then why do you have to load it? And what's the trigger for?"
"It vibrates the blade to maximize cutting potential."
"...And that works?"
"Yes."
"How?"
"How' bout you take a nap."
"you take a nap."
Leon stopped fiddling with the weapon and let out a deep sigh. "Fine."
He rose from the table and approached the bed. "Scoot."
Yuffie smiled and rolled back to her side to give him space. Leon grunted as he laid back beside her and shut his eyes.
"Y'know." She said softly into his ear. "You're right. I am kinda restless."
"That's nice. I'm going to ignore you now."
Yuffie giggled and pecked his cheek.
"Love you." She said matter of factly.
"I'm resigned to that..." He responded, turning to look at her. "And I love you too."
They moved closer, ready to join lips-
the clock made a loud winding sound, followed by a cheery jingle and a chest appeared across the room.
"Okay, how does that even-!?"
"I don't know!"
My first one-shot about a couple that I've shipped since I was twelve. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading ;)
