Leon got down on his knees with a tool kit in his right hand. He placed it down and looked at the dilemma before him. He had to fix the side of one the shops in the marketplace. As it turns out the more he looked at it the more he realized he didn't have too much to do. Why this was described as "urgent" to him was nauseating. He picked up the hammer and put some nails in his mouth as he re positioned the board that was out of place to be on top of another. Taking one of the nails out and lining it up on the board he then hammered it in. He then took another out of his mouth and repeated the process. Then just for the sake that he took three nails out he decided to hammer in the third and final nail. Lining it up, he then hammered it effortlessly into the plank. After he was done he let out a sigh and he brought the hammer up to view his work which he would say was good enough. Preoccupied with judging his own work he did not bother to listen to the sound of approaching footsteps. It wasn't until the last moment that he realized someone else was there, and when he did realize it, he felt it in the form of two soft mounds that pressed against the side of his head, with him in-between whatever it was. But these soft mounds appeared so suddenly that his head as also knocked forward.. right into the hammer.

"Wow you did a pretty good job" Tifa congratulated from above him "But you were a little loud, that's why I came over to look. To make sure you were okay." she heard nothing from Leon so she stood up instead of over him.

He turned to her with a deeply aggregated and annoyed look on his face accompanied by a cut above his left eye where blood was trickling out of.

"Oh you're bleeding" she pointed out with concern in her voice.

"Probably when I hit the hammer and wh-"he paused as he looked her over "What the hell are you wearing?"

Tifa looked down at herself in a miniskirt and small sleeveless white t-shirt which exposed her midriff and chest "Clothes?" she responded confused. Leon let out a guttural inaudible response as he got up "here!" Tifa said grabbing his arm "Let me help you"

"I'm fine I'll take care of it" he said dully as he pulled away from her grip but she grabbed a hold of him again, pulled harder and dragged him down the street.

"Come on follow me" she said as she tugged him along and he was forced to follow. She dragged him out of the marketplace, through the streets and to the Committee's Headquarters.

"Here? I could've walked here myself" he stated annoyingly but she tugged him again through the door.

As they came through the door they gained the attention of all who was in there, Cid, Yuffie, Aerith and Eddie Valiant who had stopped going through one of his cases to look at the people who just walked in the room.

"Hi!" Yuffie said cheerfully as everyone else starred on in silence.

"Hi" Tifa said quickly as she scanned the room. Then looking at the empty couch she tugged Leon over as everyone watched them walk across the room "Sit here" she suggested in an order as she plunged him onto the couch. She then continued to look around the room as everyone else looked at them, most with raised eyebrows. "Hey" she called out "Could you pass me the peroxide and band aids?" she asked pointing in-between Eddie and Cid who with raised eyebrows and puzzled looks looked from her finger, to each other and back to the medicine cabinet. Holding onto his folder Eddie casually opened the cabinet and Cid took the peroxide and chucked it to her followed by Eddie who tossed her the band aids. "Thanks" she smiled. Then she took a tissue and dabbed it in peroxide and bent before Leon and applied it on his forehead. "Sorry if it stings" she said reassuringly as she started to apply it.

Eddie's jaw dropped as he looked to Cid whose face cringed for a moment and then went back to normal. Everyone else in the room continued to look on in confusion while Tifa continued to apply peroxide to Leon's forehead.

The whole time Leon begrudgingly sat on the couch as she tended to his petty wound. His face twitched with a silent rage. However due to the way he sat and the way she stood over him her chest was directly in front of his face and due to what she was wearing gave him a perfect angle to look down her shirt although he again begrudgingly had no choice to do so.

He had a full view of everything.

Yuffie who realized this chuckled at the sight.

"Uh-huh" Tifa muttered as she put the peroxide down and reached for a band aid and then put it on the now clean wound "There we go, all better" she said as Leon sat there silently with a scowl and everyone was silently puzzled.

Tifa then plopped herself down on the couch next to Leon who once she sat down next to him sprang up and over the couch and walked away. Tifa watched him go over and then put her arms up over the back of the couch and turned her head straight.

Leon walked in-between Cid and Eddie who made way and watched him walk by only to look back at Tifa with still puzzled looks.

Tifa continued to look straight but then called out "Hey Leon" he cringed once he heard his name and all eyes were on him again. "Since I just fixed you up could you give me a massage?" she rolled her shoulders as she sat on the couch

"No" he flat out refused

"Why not?" she pouted

"You caused me to get hurt, I didn't hurt your shoulders" he said as he looked at the door on the side of the room.

"I think I might've strained it when I fixed you up. Come on" she giggled. Leon then grabbed onto Eddie and dragged his across the room towards the couch. Dropping his folder in the process they struggled against each other, letting out grunts as they did. Eddie started hitting him with his elbows as he was pushed forward. Then Leon planted him directly behind the couch as he let go and made his way for the side exit.

"Come on" she said again as Eddie now stood behind her. Looking angrily from Leon who was walking away and back to her he let out a defeated sigh. He rubbed his hands together and placed them on her shoulders and started rubbing them. "Ow. You got rough hands you know that" Tifa said.

"Uh huh" he groaned sarcastically as he continued to rub her shoulders. But after not softening his strokes she spoke up again.

"Hey, not so hard, be gentle" she insisted. He let out another sarcastic groan. "Leon!" she said as he continued to roughly stroke her shoulders and she turned to face him but saw Eddie instead.

"Hi" he said gruffly.

She looked at him curiously "Where's-"Everyone pointed to the side door which had just closed.

Tifa scoffed "How could he?! After I- went through all the trouble of-"she huffed. Tifa then let out a sigh and threw her arms up in the air. Then after sitting down for a few more movements she got up and walked out of the house through the front door without saying a word.

Everyone looked from her to the other door and then back to where she left.

"What the hell was that?" Eddie asked turning back to them.
