Title: Can't stop loving you.
Author: Alexandria Eisengaurd
Chapter Number: 2
Chapter Title: A greeting much too short.
Author's Note: I changed the stories title obviously. Do you like it
better? I hope so. I know I said that you should expect chapter 2 soon, and
you're just getting it now. The reason you're getting it after like a month is
because I just wanted to make it longer, and also I took a small break. Been
busy with my site, you know? Anyway, enough of my useless babbling. On to
chapter 2? Sure. Enjoy!

Vincent
grasped a hold of his mate's hand as they walked down the hall, and out of the
dorms. For the first few moments, no one had spoken a word. The only action
that was made besides walking to their destination was Tifa resting her head on
the side on Vincent's shoulder. When they were half way to the café, words had
flown out from Vincent's mouth.
"So,
your roommate arrived, right?" Vincent asked.
"Yeah.
His name's –"Tifa began to reply, but was cut short by Vincent.
"Wait...his?
I thought that these dorms weren't co-ed," Vincent said sounding slightly
confused.
"Well...now
you know they're not. As I was saying, His name's Sephiroth Highwind. He went
to high school with me. What a coincidence," She replied.
"Coincidence
my ass, maybe this guy's stalking you?" Vincent said.
"Stalking?
If he was stalking me, wouldn't he have stayed low? Besides, I don't think he's
the type to do that kind of thing Vincent," Tifa said, trying to reassure her
boyfriend about Sephiroth.
"Yeah,
okay," Vincent responded. His tone showed he didn't believe a thing she was
saying about this man being the non-stalker type.
"Oh
shush Vincey!" At that, Tifa had shoved Vincent away playfully.
"Hey!
You little –"He stopped in between his sentence though, Tifa had began to run
ahead of him. He had followed her, and it didn't take too long before he had
her pinned down on the rich green grass that surrounded the concrete path.
"No
fair!" She pouted.
"Oh
and pushing me away to get a head start is?" He questioned, raising his left
brow.
"Damn
right," She replied.
He
laid there on top of her for a few moments, but then he noticed people that
were passing by were watching them oddly. He got off of her, and put his hand
out to hers to help her up. She took it, and was pulled up to her feet by him.
Vincent brushed himself off, and began to walk towards their destination with
Tifa along side him. Vincent's mysterious and silent posture had returned to
him.
The
two entered the café, and customers gazed up at the man and the beautiful
goddess. They approached the counter, and Vincent placed their order for two
medium French vanilla iced coffees.
"That'll
be 8.79 sir," said the female clerk that stood on the opposite side of the
counter. Vincent handed her the money, and she returned his change. Within a
few minutes, their drinks were placed on the counter top.
"Here
you go," she said.
Vincent picked up his coffee, and Tifa did the same with hers. They went over to a table in the corner to the left. There, they sat down, and talked over their cups of coffee.
"So, are you happy to have Sephiroth as your new roommate?" Vincent asked.
"It's good to see a familiar face, but I'd much rather prefer you to be my roommate Vincey," she replied.
"Stop with the pet names, you know how I feel about using them," he said.
"Awww, all right then. So, where are we going after this?" Tifa questioned him.
"I'm going to work on some assignments," Vincent responded.
"But you said tonight was our night!" Tifa shouted at his answer.
"I'm sorry. Professor Theorem assigned tons of work, maybe tomorrow. How does that sound?" Vincent asked.
"I guess," she answered with a depressed voice before taking her final sip.
"Ready to get going? I'll walk you home," Vince said as he stood up.
"Yeah," she copied his action, and they both departed the café.
The whole walk towards Tifa's dorm was a silent one. The sun was still up, which showed they didn't really spend much time together that day. In fact, they barely spent time together any day. It wasn't long until the two of them arrived in front of the dorm.
"Night Tifa," he said softly just before he moved his face to hers to steal a goodnight kiss from his goddess.
"Night…Vincey," she released a small giggle, and abandoned Vincent, going into her now shared dorm.
In the dorm it seemed like Sephiroth had already made himself at home. Tifa's crimson eyes her glanced around noticing posters hung up all over his side of the room. They were mostly rock bands. It hadn't taken her very long to discover a shirtless Sephiroth laying on top of black blankets. He was engaged in reading a book.
"Heya," Tifa said, causing the oblivious man to close the book, and glance up at her, "What book is that?"
"Interview with a vampire by Anne Rice," he replied.
"Oh, good book," Tifa continued the conversation nervously, as she brought her body to sit on her own bed that was beside his.
"Yeah," he said. He sat up facing her, placing his book on the night stand beside his bed.
"So, that guy, was he your boyfriend?" Sephiroth asked.
"Mmhmm, why?" she threw back a question to him.
"Just curious. What happened to your little high school blonde puppet?" he questioned.
"We broke up a while back, he became an ass," she said before releasing a soft sigh.
"Ah, so who broke the news about him cheating on you?" he asked.
"You just did, maybe we should change the subject. What brings you here?" she questioned.
"Same thing as you, education," he said, "but if you'd excuse me, I think I'm going to go take a shower," and with that, he stood up and entered the bathroom to go bathe.
"Whatever," she muttered under her breath.
She laid back on her bed, placing her hands behind her head. For a few moments she just laid there watching the ceiling, but soon she drifted off into a peaceful slumber. The nap wasn't very long, soon a body had been placed amongst her own. Her crimson eyes opened to gaze back into the same colored eyes. These eyes belonged to Vincent's.
"Have a nice nap?" Vincent asked.
"Yeah, why are you here? I thought you had tons of assignments?" Tifa responded.
"Well, I finished all of those assignments. I wanted to see this roommate of yours, it seems he's in the shower though," he said.
"Mmhmm, when I got here he was reading Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. Mind getting off of me?" Sephiroth might be getting out of the shower any minute now," she said.
He got off of her and sat on the end of her bed. She repeated his actions and sat beside him. The sound of running water in the bathroom was brought to a halt just as she had done this. Walking could be heard within the room. The doorknob turned, and out came Sephiroth in a black robe.
"Sephiroth, I'd presume?" Vincent asked as he got up and extended his hand towards Sephiroth for a friendly handshake. Sephiroth had shook his hand as he nodded in response to Vincent's question.
"And you might be?" Sephiroth questioned.
"Vincent Valentine," he responded.
"Ah, nice to meet you," Sephiroth said as he placed his hands within the two pockets of his robe.
"Same to you, I must get going though, big test tomorrow," Vincent said. He wanted to give Tifa a kiss goodbye, but he swore to never kiss where someone else besides his angel was present, "Night Tifa. See you Sephiroth."
"Bye," She responded as he left.
"Even though I just talked to him for a brief second, seems like you got yourself a nice man." Sephiroth said.
"Yeah, he is. Isn't he?" she said.

Author's Note: Did you like the chapter? This is seriously my favorite story that I've written. I have no idea yet where I'm going with this. I'd like to mention something though, in chapter 1, as you know Tifa uses the showers that are for anyone, and in this one, Sephiroth uses the one for just their dorm. The reason she used the public one is because she felt safer. She wasn't all too sure about Sephiroth, you know? Review please!
