Chapter One: Party Invitations

The snow was still falling, the sky a deep grey.

Vincent sighed softly into the coller of his blood red jacket as he looked around, then noticed something by his feet. He looked at it for a solid minute, his mind seeing things other than what was there before he leant forward and plucked the bright blue flower from the earth. He watched it as carefully as before, as if waiting for it to burst into flames or crumble into dust.

With his free, mechanical hand he shifted his crimson headband a little to watch the flower.

"Vincent?" A voice called from somewhere behind him. Recognising it,Vincent crumbled the flower and dropped it back onto the pure white snow.

Yuffie bounded into his line of sight, her fur lined trenchcoats coller bounced against the part of her nech her short brown hair didnt cover. "Hey! Its so good to see you!" She hugged him tightly. "Its been so long."

Vincent nodded, hands at his sides but still letting the girl hug him, a far cry better than she used to be able to do without the red eyed man flinching back. "Why are you here?" He asked, his voice husky as always.

Reluctantly Yuffie moved back. "I was looking for you! Nanaki said that you would be here." She searched through her pockets quickly before pulling out a sheet of paper dramatically. "This is for you."

Confused he took the paper slowly and read.

Party at 10pm, Clouds house.

"You couldnt have just said this?" Vincent asked.

Yuffie looked thoughtful. "Maybe. But Cloud said: 'Go find Vincent and drag him here if you have to!'." She repeated. She smiled. "So, you have to come!"

Crimson eyes moved from the writing to the brown eyes scanning his face for signs of life. "Me?"

The girl rolled her eyes. "Of course you! We havent seen you in so long." She looked thoughtful. "Cloud seems really strange recently...everyones changed. Grown up or something." She shrugged. "But we havent got to see how much youve changed." She poked him in the ribs playfully.

"I dont think-" He began.

"I will drag you Vinnie, dont think I wont." Yuffie warned cheerfully.

Vincent sighed into his coat again. "There's no getting out of it is there?"

"Nope! None at all. I'll meet you here later. 9.30, ok?" She asked, then hurried off as quickly as she'd come, taking the paper with her.

He watched her go, then glanced back down at the flower he'd crushed, suddenly realising why he'd had the urge to pick it up in the first place and picked it up again. It was the exact blue of Clouds eyes. Silently, though with an inward groan Vincent sent some materia to it, reviving its crumpled form.

He placed it into his pocket and paused, watching the sky for a moment before turning to look for Nanaki.

Cloud was mentally cursing Tifa with as many names as he could think of.

He didnt want to play host for some stupid party. How the hell had she talked him into this? Grr, she always managed to talk him into anything...

He sighed and looked around the lounge room Marlene and Shera were putting up decorations in. At least it gave them all something to do. His life had been so boring since Sephiroth's defeat.

He returned to the kitchen with an inward curse at himself for a change. He should be happy that he 'saved the world' and all, he should be happy he couldnt go out in public without being jumped by women. Should be, but wasnt. He began stirring a pot on the stove.

Suddenly the front door burst open. "There all coming!" Yuffie and Tifa shouted in unison.

Cloud nearly leapt out of his skin at the sudden sound, splashing boiling water all over himself and yelping in shock more than pain. He swore loudly, the words just leaping from his mouth.

Tifa hurried in, then realised what happened. "Oops, sorry Cloud." She murmered sheepishly.

Cloud shook his head, running a hand through his spikey hair. "Sure you are."

Tifa giggled. "Ok, so sue me if I like dramatic entrances." She shrugged. Then she switched into conspirator mode. "Guess who Yuffie managed to track down?"

Growing worried the blonde asked. "Who?"

Another giggle sounded from the raven haired girl. "Vincent!" She informed him with a wide grin.

Clouds heart clenched rather painfully at the name, but he managed to swallow his gasp, just. "Where's he been?" He asked conversationally.

Tifa shrugged. "Yuffie talked to him and Nanaki." She guestured back to where Yuffie was talking vibrantly to Malene, making the girl giggle uncontrollably.

"So he'll be here tonight?" The blonde pushed.

Tifa beamed. "Of course! How could he refuse?"

Cloud returned to his cooking. "Well, I suppose Yuffie deserves a congradulations for tracking down the untrackable man."

Giggling the girl leant towards him. "Nanaki told her where he was." She whispered. "Not all that much tracking involved I suppose."

Cloud chuckled, a deep rumbling that sounded beautiful on him and Tifa nearly fainted with love for the sound. But she restrained. The man had made it perfectly clear he didnt see her like that, all she had to do was accept it. SHe moved to the food he was cooking instead and sniffed delecatly. "Beautiful." She smirked. Then skipped out.

Cloud groaned softly. Vincent...there was something about the man that made Cloud nervous and safe all at once and it unnerved him to no end.

And now Vincent was coming here? To mix up all his carefully alotted feelings and routines. Then, remembering that a few seconds ago he was bored, decided he didnt care. That it didnt matter if he was attracted to the demonic angel beyond what he deemed completely natural for friends, Vincent defenintly did not feel anything other than comradity for him. Now if only his heat would resume its normal function and beat he could continue to cook.
