Just a short chapter for you all, will upload some more soon, my internet's been off so I haven't been able to post it sorry.
It took around three hours for Vincent to finally settle down to sleep, his thoughts keeping his chest tight and heart beat unsteady.
Failing to get comfortable or find a reason to settle down to sleep, he decided it simply was not an acceptable state of mind to sleep with. However, he also knew regardless of how far he walked, whether it be going back to his mansion or to the hospital – nothing would change the matter of hours he had to wait to see Yuffie again.
Tick, tick, tick. The clock ticked loudly in his ears like a metronome. After ten minutes of the same paced ticking, he pulled the sheets back from his bed and got up and walked over to the light switch, flicking it on with his clawed hand.
Looking across the room, he saw himself stood there – staring back with an agonising look on his face. He watched mindlessly, his eyes following up and down his tall built body. He stood in a grey baggy t-shirt and black pajama trousers – one's he had never been fond of wearing but began to due to the reoccurrence of the autumn season.
His skin was pale and what looked as perfect. Eyes a deep crimson red, long raven coloured hair and a near perfect body structure, something many wish for and admire. Despite himself being near perfection, he hated his looks and always had.
Letting out a subtle scoff of disgust, he walked away from his reflection and to the window nearby his bed.
Someone's having trouble sleeping tonight… Could it be, you have finally given in on loving that ninja?
Of course not… What gave you that idea?
Well, the second I mentioned her death you rushed over. When you found out she had the flu you
went out to Wutai to help look after her.
She asked me to be there that day.
Oh really? And did she ask you to help her when she developed the Geostigma too?
…
I didn't think so. And don't attempt lying; I have a better memory than you think.
I wasn't going to deny it nor was I going to try and cover it up. It worried me.
Ha. You're too much of an old man anyway; you wouldn't last three minutes being in a relationship
with the brat.
As much as Vincent wanted to prove Chaos and himself wrong, he knew it was absolutely true. He wouldn't last in a relationship with her. However, he thought that of any relationship he was asked into – after Lucrecia of course. 'The second I mentioned her death you rushed over', those words lingered in his mind, was he honestly considering the fact that Yuffie could be deceased?
He sighed quietly and moved from the window, edging toward his bed. Once the quilt was pulled over his body with his human hand, he closed his eyes to fall asleep, not at all looking forward to the next day.
