You're still you

You're still you
Chapter 1: Dreams
Yuffie peered out the window, from 7th heaven. She had placed herself on a table closest to the window. Tifa glanced curious at her friend, as she dried the dishes she had washed.

"You sure seem to be far away today" Tifa murmured, but didn't catch Yuffie's fully attention. The youngest girl sat silent for herself and watched the raindrops fall down the window. "Yuffie?" she repeated and Yuffie turned around.

"what do you think about Age gaps Teef?" the ninja wondered and looked at the other woman with huge, brown eyes. Tifa thought about the question for awhile, before she could come up with a answer.

"Age gaps?" Tifa muttered soft while she dried one of the beer glasses. Yuffie nodded and closed her eyes for awhile.

"Yeah, age gaps" the ninja continued on, and Tifa wasn't really sure what she should answer her.

"well, if someone really loves each other and it's legal, then they should go for it. Then again age is just numbers right?" she mumbled slowly, and looked at her friend again.
"Hey, Yuffie… why are you asking?" the older one asked and stared at the youngest one with curious eyes.

"it's just… do you think Vincent is too old for me?" Tifa's mouth fell open; she had always thought there was just friendship between Vincent and Yuffie. She was too young to be together with him yet, Yuffie wasn't legal, and that would make Vincent face the consequences. Yuffie was 16, while Vincent was a good years old older than her.

"not really, he's not that old!" Tifa knew she lied, she hated to lie, but that miserable look on Yuffie's face made it hard not to do it.
"What? You worried?"

"No… or yes… " Yuffie sank deeper down in the chair she was sitting in, and stared miserable out the shiny window. "have you ever thought that… age gaps can be too big?"

"it also depends on the person, Yuff. If he treats you all right, and is mature, then I guess the problem is solved" she regretted her answer. Yuffie wasn't mature at all, she was the most childish 16 year old kid she had met her whole life, even Marlene was more mature than Yuffie, and Marlene was much younger than Yuffie.

"he does treat me nice… and I like him… he's my emo king!" Yuffie mumbled, and her older friend rolled her eyes. 'Emo king?' since when did she start calling Vincent emo king? Yeah, he did use a lot of red cloths; he had dark hair, was tall, had pale skin, and had that gold claw on his hand and those golden shoes. And he was a mysterious type, for sure, a little bit quiet maybe. But still it didn't bother Yuffie; she liked him as he was, even though he looked at her as a little bit too annoying sometimes. But emo king, did that really suit him?
