Abnormal A/N.: I was laid off from my job two days before Christmas. Yesterday I was laid off. Pennies laid me off because I was the youngest in the department. I have tons of bills to pay off. I just made my first car payment and I have no money for books next semester! Plus on top of it all, my parents' jobs were transfered to Melbourne, Australia. This means I can't ask for money from my parents anymore. However my tuition is paid for through 2010, but I can't take anymore bills. So hopefully in 2009 I will get a new job and be able to put another down payment on my truck and put money away for college.

Chapter 11: Sleeping Arrangements
The problem, he thought, was that Reeve was staying here. In addition, Reeve had minor back issues because of metal that fell on him in the DeepGround war.
He could not stay on the couch.
He would not let Yuffie sleep on the couch.
Shelke was not allowed by him to sleep on the couch.
The crisis became this.
And every time he thought about it, one idea came to his mind.
Yuffie would stay with him.
He pushed the idea from his brain.
They had only been together for three months!
He pushed the idea from his mind until Yuffie walked in with a pillow in her hands, dressed in short shorts, and a cami. "I'm staying with you," she said putting her pillow next to him and sitting down next to him. He returned to his book.
"Vincent?"
"Yes Yuffie." He said to the woman sitting next to him.
She bit her lip. "I've been thinking about writing my dad."
He looked over at her, "That might be smart."
"He'll want us to get married."
"In-" He stopped. He was about to say in time. However, he stopped, "What Yuffie?"
"He knows who you are. Who your family is." She paused and looked at his blank white walls. "He'll want us to take the throne."
It was true. His mother was from Wutai. She had come from a line of samurai.
His father, who was Kalmese, had married the woman.
However the marriage was not frowned upon because she had married a powerful man.
Godo would want the same. He would want them to marry to power, not for love.
"You'll take the throne when you're ready Yuffie. Not before." He said removing his glasses and placing them on the nightstand.
She looked over at him and hugged him. "Thank you. You make me feel so special."
He hugged her back, "But you are special, princess." He placed a kiss on the top of her head. He released her and then got off the bed to shut the door and turn off the lights. "Sleep, Yuffie."
"Vincent can we talk first?" He walked back over blindly to the bed and sat down before pulling the covers over his body.
"About?"
"Midgar. Three years ago I saved your ass."
He turned towards her, "In cruder terms yes you saved my ass."
She laughed, "Wanna know why?"
He smirked, "Why?"
"Because I had a crush on you!"
"And I thought that crush died with Midgar."
He smirked as she spoke, "No…but it killed me for a while. Because I knew I loved you and you still loved Lucrecia."
He pulled her towards him and she buried her head in his chest, "I was…infatuated with her. I loved her yes. However, the extent of my love ended with her with the abnormalities that I deal with, with you, like finding a teacup in the dryer. No. I would not be able to stand her if she was like you." He sighed and wrapped both arms around her, "You are so much different than her."
"Is that a good thing?"
He looked down and lifted her head. "Yes…because, you are all I needed. The light to this dark man." She wrapped her arms around him and settled her head into the crook of his neck.
"Vincent?"
"Hmmm?"
"I love you."
He blinked and pulled her tighter to him, he paused on what to say, not wanting to utter the words that she had just.
He mocked her words in a different fashion "And I to you my princess, And I to you. So dearly."
Vincent drifted to sleep not dreading the wedding rehearsal that was to come.
