Disclaimer- I own nothing from FFVII. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(A/N) Sorry, the chapter title kinda gives away the theme. I had a hard time coming up with oddities about Yuffie other than the already existing ones so forgive me if they're not that entertaining. POV switch again.
Enjoy!
Week 1 Day 5
Reno had learned many things about his girlfriend over the past few months she'd been living with him. He'd even learned to become accustomed to her… more unique oddities. This did not include commonly known quirks such as her obsession for materia or her motion sickness. He lived with things such as her constant need to be barefoot and strangely paralyzing fear of ducks that unfortunately made sporadic appearances in her nightmares. That in turn made Reno a bit of an insomniac. But in all of the time he had known her, through all of the frightening surprises she called 'harmless fun' (like the time she had painted his walls green for the hell of it), he never recalled being woken up like this.
"OHMYGOD BOOOOOOBSS!" Reno was violently forced from his slumber as the screech pierced his ears, his eyes snapping open. He struggled to adjust to the morning light as he fumbled around for his EMR, panicking. His hands, still weak from sleep, were directed away from the nightstand as they flailed in the air, seeing as the bed was being rocked from some unknown force. He squinted, focusing on the form in front of him. It was Yuffie jumping on top of the bed, hovering over the Turk. Her face was scrunched up in excitement and she held her PHS to her ear.
Suddenly she became still and sat on top of him, her expression holding more anticipation now.
"Definitely!" she beamed. Reno took the moment of peace to learn how to breathe again, clutching at his chest and laying his head back. He never thought he would be so relieved to feel the steady rhythm of his torso rising and falling.
"Kay! We'll be there in two shakes alright?" he looked back up to the girl and suddenly knew the meaning of 'ohmygod boobs' concluding that it could only be Tifa on the phone.
"Alright bye," she flipped the PHS closed and smiled at Reno as she lay down on top of him, resting her chin on her hands which were folded over his chest.
"Morning," she cooed.
"Holy shit, Yuffs…" he breathed, raising his hand to his forehead.
She giggled and began mindlessly tracing patterns against his bare skin.
"Where are we going in two shakes?" he asked.
"7th Heaven."
"Why?"
"Tifa's back," she answered, pushing herself off the bed and getting dressed.
"Well, yeah. I got that part," he rolled his eyes and pushed himself up as well, "but what's the big deal?"
"I'm not gonna tell her you said that," she laughed as she began lacing up her extensive, white boots, "but only because I don't want you to die yet."
Reno slipped his arm into the familiar navy blue sleeve and tied his hair back as he listened to the ninja go on.
"She has big news," she smiled.
"What?"
"You'll see when we get there."
"No!" Reno declared, "You are not doing that!"
"Doing what?" she asked innocently, spinning around to him.
"You're already keeping one secret from me. You can't hide two! One isn't even yours!"
"Oh alright," she sucked her teeth and stuck by his side as they shut the apartment door behind them and began walking down the hall, Reno's listless drift in stark contrast to Yuffie's lively pace.
"So tell me."
She impatiently pressed the elevator button and groaned as it had to travel several floors to reach them.
"Well," she started seemingly bubbly, "Chocobo-Head finally did it!"
"Did what?" he crossed his arms.
"Proposed!" she bounced, overjoyed to an extent that might have been so genuine that you would think she was the engaged one.
"Oh that…" Reno trailed off.
"What do you mean 'oh that'?" the ninja's temper flared, "You knew?"
Reno gestured to the open doors and they stepped inside as he habitually pushed '1'.
"How?" she asked.
"Cloud told me he was going to ask her months ago," he shrugged.
"Months ago?" Damn, Cloud must have had some seriously cold feet.
"Mhm," Reno nodded and stepped from the elevator as it chimed, Yuffie trailing close behind.
"He sure takes his sweet time doesn't he?" the girl smiled at the Turk. He looked back at her and smirked as he pushed the door to the lobby open.
"Teef!" Yuffie yelped as the ecstatic barmaid met her at the door to the bar.
"Yuffie!" she threw her arms around her and they shared what looked like a bone crushing hug before they pulled away from each other with grins bigger than Reno had seen on any human being before.
"Let me see!" Yuffie squealed, outstretching her palms.
Relaxing into a more natural bliss, Tifa lay her dainty hand in the ninjas'. Her ring finger was now encircled by an elaborate silver band, decorated in intricate designs of what seemed to be vines from which magnolias bloomed. The diamond was a simple circle; cleanly cut and sparkling.
Yuffie stood, mouth agape before returning to her giddy nature.
"It's so beautiful!" she gasped again marveling at the sight, "Wow!"
Reno inched his way past the elated women toward a Cloud who, despite his never-faltering refusal to smile, looked content. Even somewhat happy if he dare say so.
"So," the Turk slipped his hands into his pockets, "You finally asked her to marry you…"
"Yeah."
"Hmph," he smiled, "I was beginning to wonder if you were ever gonna get to it."
"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?" Cloud looked over and almost smirked at Reno, clearly unable to find words. The Turk became straight-faced and mulled the statement over and over in his head. When it became apparent that he would say nothing more, the blonde walked over to his fiancée, grabbing her by the waist. Yuffie caught on to his subtle hint, developing a sort of sixth sense from years of piecing together hidden meanings in Clouds seemingly miniscule actions.
"Well, we should really get going," she chirped, a little uneasy. She shuffled toward Reno and gave him a small jab in the side pulling him out of his daze.
"We'll see you soon?" Tifa asked, blushing under Cloud's impatient grip.
"Of course," she nervously laughed. The ninja waved and pushed the door open rather hastily, Reno following close behind. As the door shut behind them, Yuffie exhaled as if she had been holding her breath the entire time.
"Whew, talk about uncomf-"
She was cut off mid-sentence as Reno pulled her into a deep kiss, completely ignoring his surroundings. For those few moments, it was only him and her encased in their own little world. When they separated, Yuffie stared into his glowing aquamarine eyes and felt as she did the first time he had kissed her.
"Reno…" she was taken aback but he simply smiled at her and she cocked her head in confusion.
"Let's go home."
The ninja wasn't exactly sure of why or exactly what just happened but ultimately decided not to debate it as she walked hand in hand with him back home.
My inspiration kind of flickered out and died at the end :(
Yes, I threw in the implication but there will be no Reffie marraige in this fic. I apologize to the hardcore fluff fans but I really don't see them in that situation and if I can't see it, I can't write it well.
Suggestive, aren't you Cloud? ;P
Reviews? Pretty please?
