A/N: Last chapter! It's true what they say: time flies when you're having fun. This was for me the hardest to write, because I had no idea what to do. Enjoy! :)
10. Succeeding
She only had to wait until he came home. Merlin was out for some research, and Aerith had dragged Cid along to go shopping with her (poor guy, but it was better this way). This was the perfect moment for Yuffie to tell Leon how she feeled about him. She didn't go through all that shit in her life to let this moment just pass.
As if on cue, the front door opened. At once, her heartbeat and bloodpressure increased.
"…Yuffie, where is everyone?" Leon asked when he spotted her.
Yuffie opened her mouth to reply, but she seemed to have lost the ability to talk.
"I uh… I…"
Whoa, did he always have such an amazing voice?
Why yes, he did…now focus, Yuffie!
Meanwhile, Leon started approaching her.
"Yuffie? Are you alri-"
Without knowing what she was doing, Yuffie dashed forward, stood on her tiptoes and gave Leon a quick kiss on his lips.
"Yuff…wha-?"
Almost at once, she yelped, running outside and almost bumping into the coffee table.
Okay…that did not go as planned!
…But it was a start, a first step. She would succeed.
What she didn't see was that Leon was smiling, while watching her go.
A/N: Hope you liked it, 'cause I did, as far as it went. Maybe sometime, I'll have time to write longer one-shots of each of them. I promise to make more Squiffies in the future. Reviews are still appreciated (it's your last chance, people). :)
