Reno was a pain in the butt last night.

And now he's an ache in my head.

I glare at him, but he doesn't realize it.

Maybe his ego is to inflated for even my super ninja glare to get through.

"Ok. Ok. Reno, shut it."

My voice is cracking, and I look like I've been hit by a train.

So naturally, he doesn't listen.

"Reno. Shut. The. Hell. Up."

"Make me, baby."

Normally, I would have just kicked his ass.

But today im too tired to even lift a finger.

"Reno, im begging you. I have a head ache. In fact, my whole body aches."

"What, did Valentine miss?"

"RENO!"

"Just answer the question dahl."

" NO! Reno, we both know that Vinnie is in love with his dead chick. I will never be his dead chick. He's probably more in love with god damn SHELKE than with me. Im never going to be more than a friend to him, okay? Happy? FUCKING HAPPY?"

By the end, im almost in tears.

I really don't want what I said to be true.

But I know it is.

I let myself fall to the floor behind the counter, a messy heap of Yuffie limbs.

Snot is running down my face, mixing with the salty tears now streaming from my blood shot eyes.

And for some reason, Reno seems to actually give a damn.

He cradles me as I rock back and forth, pushing my hair from my eyes.

This whole situation was a mess.

Why had I suddenly decided that there could never be anything between Vince and I?

And why was Reno, of all people, the one that had made me realize this?

Tifa had been trying to make me see that I needed to stop loving him, but I had always blocked out her rants.

Hell, even Cloud had told me that Vince was never going to see me as anything more than a friend.

A shiver rippled down my spine as I inhaled a huge gulp of air, looking up at Reno.

I must look like some mutated kitty.

Pitiful mutated kitty.

"Reno, you tell anyone that I had a break down, I swear I will kick your ass."

He smiles, a true genuine smile and brushes another lock of hair out of my eye.

"Wouldn't dream of it darling."
