A/N: Another one of my prompts for the community 20heartbeats over at LiveJournal. Theme #12; Morning.

It was a bright, beautiful Sunday morning. The morning sun bathed everyone in nice, warm rays of sunshine. Cafes were open and the residents of Radiant Garden were happily and peacefully eating their breakfast. While some were eating, some were doing grocery shopping in the marketplace.

Yuffie, however, was browsing through the weapons store. She was so busy bending and admiring the various shuriken that she almost didn't noticed when she accidentally bumped into someone. The person whom she bumped into let out a low growl and she had no problem identifying the person whom growled.

"Morning, Leon," she chirped happily, standing up straight so that she can do her weekly routine of making fun of Leon.

It was the same every Sunday morning. Yuffie would say things to make Leon irritated, annoyed, angry and embarrassed. Leon then would chase Yuffie around Radiant Garden while shouting "YUFFIE!" and knocking (and in some cases, trampling) anyone who so foolishly stood in their way. Most of the shopkeepers were used to their routine and had already prepared to ask their customers to stand aside.

However, when she turned to look at him to hurl insults at him, what she saw made her jaw drop to the ground. Standing next to Leon was Aerith; both had their fingers laced through each other's.

"Aerith! What are you doing with Leon?"

Aerith let out an amused giggle. "Didn't Leon tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Go on, Leonie," said Aerith, tugging on his jacket sleeve. "Tell Yuffie the good news."

"Leonie?!" exclaimed Yuffie. She could almost feel the pancakes she had for breakfast threatening to make a very disgusting and embarrassing appearance.

The last time someone called Leon "Leonie" was Jane, a waitress at one of the cafes who had a massive crush on him. Leon shot her a look which could really bring to life the phrase "looks can kill". Poor Jane quit her job on the spot; every single piece of her pride and dignity shattered and her heart ripped into a million tiny pieces.

Leon hesitated and - was that a blush? Was the Squall Leonhart, master of the Gunblade, actually blushing? Yuffie suddenly wished that she had brought her camera along. She could make hundreds, maybe even thousands, by selling pictures of a blushing Leon to all the young and single women in Radiant Garden. She could probably even blackmail him if she wanted to.

"WHAT?! Tell me what?"

Leon cleared his throat. "Aerith... and I… we're…" he hesitated.

Aerith must have noticed that Leon was having trouble so she offered to help him out.

"Leon and I… we're together," she told Yuffie calmly.

"Wait. Together as in… together-together?" Yuffie said.

"Yes."

"Together as in… boyfriend-girlfriend together?"

Aerith nodded again.

Yuffie had a blank look on her face. She felt happy yet strange. Happy because it was about time Leon hooked up with a woman; Yuffie was starting to think that Leon was actually allergic to the species. Strange because… since when did Leon and Aerith actually shared the same feelings and liked each other? How could she have not noticed? If she did, she would have exploited and blackmailed him (and Aerith too, but Aerith was much too nice) a long time ago!

Then, all of a sudden, she fainted.

"Do you think we dropped the bomb on her a little too early?" Aerith asked worriedly.

END.
