Chapter 15

'You don't feel the same way!' I blurted out, when his arms came out towards me, 'You dont! I heard them, Vinnie, and it is okay! You're my best friend' I ended lamely, blowing that annoying strand of hair out of my face.

My eyes had glistened over slightly, and he just stood there. Confused, and unsure of what to say.

Please tell me I'm wrong...Please...

The silence seemed to go on for what felt like a decade. He just shrugged, slightly, and looked away.

'I apologise Yuffie.. this has all been very strange, for me. I thought of it as a favour. I did not think that you felt for me so strongly.'

'oh... OHHHHH! I GET IT! ITS MY FAULT! MY FEELINGS!'

Vincent cringed slightly, 'must you be so loud...?'

'YES! THIS IS FEELINGS VINCENT...FEELINGS!'

Vincent backed away slightly, 'I apologise. I wanted to make things right, perhaps I should go'

He turned away- his cloak billowing out behind him.

WAIT DONT GO...drats! HOW ON EARTH IS THIS NOT WORKING...okay I should not be mentally shouting at myself.. and hes going! oh god...oh god.. I want to latch onto that leg, but why am I always begging!

'Thats fine...Vinnie! I expected this! I really did! Thank you. Thank you so so so much! SO SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH! You have been fantastic! Great! SUPER AWESOME!' I was shouting at his back now, as he started to disappear.

I clasped my head, and it was hurting more than ever, and soon the tears were falling again.

Why is this so hard?!

'VINCENT WAITTTTT' I yelled, jumping out of the window, chasing after his shadow.

He did not seem to notice, as he continued on, with his long strides. Damn him..and his long legs. Why do I always seem to be running after him?

'Vincent STOP' I yelled, and when did it start raining?!

He turned to face me, and I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I couldn't stop the tears this time.

'Yuffie...' He murmured, looking at me. I must have looked awful, let's face it. I was in the same clothes, and I felt broken, 'Yuffie... Why are you so upset? Everyone has been worried about you for the past fortnight.'

I was silent...worried? About me? I didn't even realise. I just looked at him, with no words in me. Lets be honest, I was dreaming about chocolate too, it was his eyes! Why does he have to give me that look?!

Before I knew how to stop myself, as I was in his arms. I just rushed into him, and wrapped my arms around his waist, and rested my forehead on his chest. I felt his breath hitch slightly too, but I ignored it, and sank deeper into his arms.

His arms wrapped around me, before I could even comprehend what was happening, and I felt his head ontop of mine.

Yup! Vincent was hugging me back! What in the world was going on... let's just pretend for a while. I heard him sigh, deeply.

'You do realise, Yuffie, you will get ill out here in the rain.'

Still no words. I mean.. do you blame me!? I had the love of my life, giving me a hug, when did the world ever reward me for my troubles? I'll answer that one...never! So I was not going to ruin it by opening my mouth again.

'Yuffie? We can not stay out here... you do realise that?'

Still nothing. Nope.. I was dot dot dotting this.

'Alright... you have left me with no other choice, Yuffie Kisaragi. I have located you now, so it is my duty to report back and let them know your safe.'

And with one swift move, he hoisted me onto his shoulder, and continued marching towards his motorbike.

Welll...I should run away more often! And No... I am not going to say anything at the moment...I think I just drooled. When did Vincent become so romantic! Was that love hearts in my eyes!

And then he dumped me onto the back seat. PERFECT! I can rest my head against his back, and drift off for a while.

Can we all pretend Lucrecia is not the love of his life for a while?!

...

Vincent drove back, remaining silent, as he felt Yuffie's arms around his chest, as she clung on.

'It's a good job she is finally sleeping' he thought to himself, but what he could not seem to understand was the beating of his own heart. Or the way she had looked when he had turned to face her. He had missed her, alot, eventhough he hated to admit it to himself. Lucrecia had not even entered his head either. He could not put his finger on it..why was his heart beating so fast this time?

...

Note: I am considering adding more characters! Should Reno Return!? Or Lucrecia? Let me know! Thank you and enjoy, and stay safe during these trying times!
