7. Time Is Running Out ~ Muse
"You will be the death of me.
Yeah, you will be the death of me."
She scared him to death sometimes.
It wasn't entirely her fault; she was just hyper, high on.... Life.
Ironic, that.
She'd always told him to fight dark with light, death with life. There's no one without the other, after all. Surely that wasn't a metaphor relating to them, was it?
Yuffie stood there, on the edge of the two-story building, causing a right commotion inside his chest. Not that he'd ever let her know it.
Not yet, at least, he mused in his mind.
He cared for her, deep down under his seemingly icy exterior, and right now, he was alert and ready to jump after the ninja should she fall from her precarious perch on the corner of the roof. He knew he was being a little too overprotective, but her current stance and the fact that she was almost shouting "My Spidey-Senses are tingling!" was also rather ridiculous.
But just so typically Yuffie.
She was right - this was why they balanced each other out so perfectly. Her antics breathed a new breath of life into him that he desperately needed to keep himself going. As she turned her head and threw a grin so cheerful and innocent over her shoulder at him, he wondered (all too eagerly by his standards) how long it would be before he surrendered his heart to her completely.
Skittles are wonderful. So are reviews. :D
