AN: Hmm... I just found this on my computer from January, 2006. I think I must have wrote it for a LiveJournal community as it had the LJ tags. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Speechless
"You are such a big baby," Yuffie muttered with a roll of her eyes.
Squall snorted indelicately, then winced as the ninja sprayed the wound on his bicep with an anti-septic. "I'm not a big baby. You're just messy with your throws."
As she put the bandage on, Yuffie took a deep breath and counted to ten before she chose to answer that. "Honestly, Leon. I've seen you take a hit from a Defender and not even blink."
"That's different," he argued, inspecting the miniscule band-aid. He had to admit (to himself that is-he would never let Yuffie know she was right), it was just a tiny wound.
Yuffie sat back on her haunches and sadly shook her head at him. "Again, you're a big baby."
"I'm not being a baby! It really hurts!" Leon insisted, realizing somewhere in his mind that arguing with Yuffie was futile.
"Look, do you want me to kiss it and make it all better?" she finally asked in a voice one would normally use when talking to either small children or the mentally challenged, of which he was neither-though, it was at times like these she wondered if he was mentally challenged.
At that, Leon starting sputtering. "Why- I - You- Huh?"
Laughing at the priceless moment-how often did the "Great Squall" actually become tongue-tied?-Yuffie leaned forward and lightly kissed the band-aid. "Don't expect me to do that every time you get hurt, now."
With that, Yuffie sauntered out of the room and left a speechless Squall behind her.
