Vignettes I
Tifa watched from behind the bar as Cloud and Yuffie carried the last of the boxes downstairs. For the better part of the last hour, she had done her utmost to avoid that topic, something for which her two friends were quietly grateful.
"So... you're all, er, boxed up?" she asked.
"More or less," Cloud replied.
They had already filled up a delivery van and sent it on ahead with the majority of Yuffie's things, so all that was left was to carry the last remaining ones over to her apartment by hand. As Cloud came down the stairs, however, the box he was carrying obscured his view, causing him to knock another, smaller box off a table, spilling its contents all over the floor. Said contents included a pair of extremely frilly, pink briefs. Tifa's eyes bulged. She turned her attention to Yuffie and Cloud, giving them a funny look. Especially Cloud.
"Hey, watch it!" Yuffie called, rushing over to snatch the briefs up from the ground. "Those are really expensive!"
She froze, noting the suspicious look she was getting from Tifa.
"...looking," she quickly added. "Expensive-looking. I mean, wow, these must've cost you a fortune, huh, Spikes?" she continued, elbowing Cloud and winking at him. "What with all the embroidery and soft fabric and... stuff.."
She lingered for a moment, running the fabric between her thumb and forefinger, entranced, then suddenly remembered that she was still being watched.
"Um, NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT! BYYEEE!" she added, tossing the briefs back in the box before shoving Cloud out the door ahead of her.
"Smooth," Cloud said as they walked down the steps of the 7th Heaven.
"I thought so," Yuffie replied, feeling pleased with herself.
