-Vincent's P.O.V.--
The door bell rang.
"Shoot. Already?" Stopping her placing of mulitple candles on all the tables she had lined up in the living room, Yuffie looked at the clock on the wall.
"Vincent, can you get the door please?" I heard her call. Not bothering to reply, I unlocked and turned the door handle, opening the door.
"Hey Vinny." A group of people said at once, perfectly all together. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Yuna and Reno stood outside. I turned and walked back into my house, the door open for them.
"Hello everyone!" Yuffie's face appeared from around the corner. "Its all set up, in the living room, so follow me!"
Following her statement, the taking off of shoes happened. Next, after everyone had fought over a chair, Yuffie asked what everyone wanted to 'sniff' first. I grinned. No-body said stuff like Yuffie did.
"Here," she made her way over to Aerith, "this one is called 'Strawberry Delight'. You might like this." Nodding, Aerith took it and proceeded to 'sniff' the candle.
"Its good, a bit too strong though." Cloud grabbed the candle, in-haling the scent like it was the last thing he would smell ever again. "Ahh.." I personally though Cloud had looked like a druggy, Reno must have thought the same. He actually fell off of his chair, laughing.
"Cloud-" Tifa warned, dragging him back to his chair by the collar of his coat, "Behave." The blond nodded.
"Hey, Vincent, isnt' there a game on?"
I thought, going through the possible days it was.
It wasn't Wednesday, I ended up eating take-out that night, Not
Thursday either...
"Its Friday." I was about to look at the clock when I got Reno's reply of "Its six." Damn, could he read minds? "Yes." I looked over towards him, shocked, but still keeping my face calm. "I believe theres a tennis game on right now, as we speak." He muttered, lost in visions of tennis.
"Tennis is on right now? I wanna watch it."
"I'll come with you Cloud, you know how your not allowed to touch Vinny's remote." Reno laughed, "I still can't believe what you did to the last remote."
Shaking his head he followed Cloud into the next room. Walking over to the doorway of the room Cloud and Reno disappeared inside, I glanced behind my shoulder. The girls were all giggly and discussing the certain candles they liked the best and why. Laughing in my mind, I entered the TV room. We ended up watching the rest of tennis match, Reno commenting on how the player wearing red sucked and how he wasn't 'worthy' of wearing red or having red hair, and chose to leave the TV room to go back to the living room. Since the girls were still talking about these candles, Cloud, Reno and I took our seats again. Only this time I took the window seat, with Cloud to my left.
"I think its going to storm." I said, glancing out of the window.
"It got very dark, very fast." Cloud whispered, flinching when lighting struck in the far east, where black clouds were slowing making their way towards the town.
"Huh?" Reno got up from the chair to look out the window too. Leaning over Cloud, (who was un-aware of this) he waited. The girls didn't make any motion as to if they had heard so Reno continued what he was going to do. Which was to scare Cloud, I'm sure of it. The red-head nodded to me before bringing his hands up to hover above Clouds shoulders, waiting for the right moment. Hearing thunder, Reno slammed his hands down just as lighting came down from the skies.
"AHHHH! TIFA!!" Cloud ran for his girl-friend as Reno laughed hard before saying "Yah, it does look horrific."
"RENO!" Yuffie yelled, "THATS NOT NICE!"
"His FACE isn't nice!"
"RENO!" A candle was thrown in his general direction. After a few more minutes of yelling mean things, throwing of candles and other items found around the living room, I turned around and said in my darkest voice impression, "I believe those of you who wish to be home in bed tonight leave right now, before the storm comes and tears you all to shreads." Hmm, new personal record. I've never gotten that many 'what-the-hell' looks before.
"He's right." Yuna said, returning a packet of candles to the main table, "We'd all better start going."
I grinned smugly in my head, this had turned out better than I thought it would have. Grabbing her things, she talked about how wonderful the candles were and how she would order some before she departed. Aerith followed Yuna out the door, saying her thanks too. Tifa took a while longer, but seeing as she had to calm down Cloud first, she did it in record time. Reno took off last, saying he would call me the next day as to make plans for next week-end, when the basketball game was on.
"Okay Reno, you call." I told him, almost pushing the talkative red out the front door. Upon turning around, I saw Yuffie had started to put candles back where they belonged.
"Hey, Vincent-" she began, before I swiftly cut her off with a "I'm going to bed see ya tomorrow Yuffie." I dashed around the corner, and into my room. There wasn't any way I was going to be picking up candles tonight. After putting on my pyjamas, I went under the covers, resting my head on the pillow, I began to wonder at exactly what time Reno was going to call the next day. He would say noon but call at eight in the morning, he was unpredictable that way. Sighing I let my consciousness slip away from me, sleep washing over me.
