Summary: (Yuffie x Squall) (Squffie) Check on me, by the time you get here I'll already be gone… One-shot
My Sweet Ninja
----
Leon knelt down by Yuffie's bed, small crystal tears lightly falling down his cheeks. This was the first time he cried for anyone. And it was most likely his last time.
"Squall…I'm sorry," Yuffie spoke slowly to him. He wrapped his fingers around hers and closed them together.
"It's Leon." Was all that came out of his mouth. He sat next to Yuffie on her bed, lying his head down on her shoulder, their fingers still entwined. "Why did you overdose on anti-depressants?" He gripped her hand even tighter, not wanting to let go.
He felt her shift uncomfortably. "Because…what's it matter? I am going to die from cancer anyway…at least this way I'll go without much pain…" Her soft voice trailed off.
"I'll miss you."
Yuffie rested her head on his. "I'll miss you too. But…promise me this one thing."
He removed his head and looked at her in her chocolate brown eyes. "Yeah?"
"You'll move on when I'm gone." He moved to make a comment back, but she put her two fingers on his lips. "Promise?"
"…I promise." Yuffie's body started to violently shake, tears falling down her cheeks. She was scared. Scared for what was going to happen, her death was inevitable.
"Yuffie?" Leon asked, worry etched into his words. He leaned over and hugged her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her cold and fragile body.
"Leon…don't leave…" He faked a quick smile, trying to reassure her that everything would be alright. That was the first time she called him that.
The last…
"Me to…my sweet ninja." He held her closer. She wasn't crying anymore. All the pain was gone.
"Thank you…for…everything…" She was just happy to have her last moments in his arms, with his touch.

We give and we take,
But something is always lost.
And just maybe…this time life went a little bit to far.
