A/N: hheeee, thanks to everyone that is reviewing.
Vincent stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel; he wrapped round his waist and leant against the wall. He allowed himself to slip down the wall and sit on the floor; he bought his knees up under his chin.
Why, of all people did I have to fall for her, she's so young he thought as he rested his chin on his knees, he felt tears welling in his eyes and allowed one or two to run down his face,
She'd never be interested in a freak like myself he told himself
He stood up and walked over to the sink, he turned the tap for the cold water and splashed it on his face to hide his red cheeks. He swept his hair back into a ponytail and pulled it tight, even after doing this, small wisps of hair still managed to escape and fall round his face.
He picked up his boxers, trousers and shirt up and put them on, he folded his cape up and left it on the side.
He walked out of the bathroom, straight to the Miny Bar; he took a bottle of whisky out and poured himself a drink. He put the bottle back into and walked over to the sofa and sat down.
"Vincent, are you alright? You look a little flushed" Irrestia asked cautiously
"I'm fine, the water was hot that's all" Vincent said not taking his eyes off his glass
"Um okay, wanna watch some T.V" she said trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Not particularly" he answered, still keeping his eyes on his glass.
"Oh, Yuffie got up, I leant her some clothes to sleep in and then she went back to bed" she said struggling to keep a conversation going with him.
This caught Vincent's attention, he turned to face her and nodded slightly.
"Um so like, we should get to know each other some more doncha think?" she said with a little more emphasis in her voice
" I really don't feel like talking" he replied flatly.
"Okay, how about just some one word answers then?" she said,
It was quite obvious she wasn't going to give up so he swallowed down his drink and faced her.
"Shah, ok, where are you from" she started
"Nibelhiem" he replied
"What's your favourite colour?"
"Red"
"What do you do?"
"Nothing"
"Uh ok, how do you know Cid and Yuffie?"
"We saved the world together"
"Cccccooooooooooooooooooooooooooll" she said, "Now I'm going to tell you about me"
"I used to live in Midgar with my Bro and parents and I went out one day to go on one of my "journeys" and when I came back the place was wrecked and they were all dead, apparently it was Weapon attacking, a lucky escape for me eh, I didn't really mind about family because they didn't want me to follow my dream of having my own plane" she said, she looked up to see him not looking the least bit interested.
Damn, I thought telling him my sad life story would get me some attention, I know! She thought as another one of her plans hatched.
"sniff, sob, ehehe" she started to cry now he'll feel bad, hehehehhe
"I'm tired, I'm going to bed" he said as he completely ignoring her sobs.
" But, um, there's a documentary of The Highwind on, Do you know how cool that ship was, I thought we could watch it together" she said not wanting him to go.
"I lived on the bloody thing for about 4 months, I'm going to sleep" he said as he stood up
"Really, wow, tell me about it" she continued
"I said I'm going to sleep, don't stay up late" he said walking over to the other side of the room, where the beds were.
"Shah, ok, goodnight" she said and then put the T.V on, turning the sound low.
Vincent unbuttoned his shirt and lay down on the bed, he turned on his side and saw Yuffie sleeping peacefully, she was wearing a purple spaghetti top and a blue skirt, the only thing he could remember from his conversation with Irrestia was that she had leant Yuffie some clothes to sleep in, her armour lay on the floor under the bed,
She still had his headband on, Cid was right it really did suit her.
He stared at her for a second longer and then turned on to his back and shut his eyes,
No good he couldn't sleep, he rolled over again and watched as Yuffie breathed softly, she fidgeted in her sleep and rolled over onto her side, her arm gently flopped out of the cover and hung over the edge of her bed.
Vincent reached out his real arm and gently touched her hand; he pulled it back and turned onto his other side to face the wall, and managed to drift off (eventually).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vincent felt a hand shaking his shoulder, so he rolled over on to his back and opened his eyes.
He was surprised to see Yuffie kneeling on the side of his bed.
"About time too lazy Bones," she said laughing gently "Irrestia cooked breakfast, I don't want to face it on my own" she whispered.
"Uh oh, okay, I'll get up then" he replied still sounding sleepy.
With that Yuffie jumped of the bed and walked over to the table, he noticed she was still wearing the clothes Irrestia had leant her.
He pushed the cover off his lap and walked over to the table and plonked him self down.
Irrestia walked over and placed a plate in front of him, one in front of Yuffie and one in front of the spare seat, she then sat herself down on that chair.
"Good morning Vincent did you sleep well?" she said cheerfully Now time to wow him with my cooking skills she thought, the fact she had never cooked before in her life did not concern her.
"Yes, I slept well thank you" he lied, of course, as Chaos had warned, he dreamt of Yuffie all night,
"Well that's good, come on eat up then" Irrestia said.
Yuffie and Vincent exchanged glances and both picked up some bacon and ate it.
"EUUUUGGGGGGGHH" they both said as they spat it out,
"What do you mean EEEEUUUGHGHH, let me see?" she said as she lifted the food to her mouth and shoved it in.
"EUGHH, ok maybe cooking isn't my strong point," she said trying to sound as sweet as possible,
"Is there any food left?" Yuffie asked
"Yeah, in the fridge" Irrestia answered
" Okay, well I'll make breakfast, I picked up a few pointers from when I'd help Tifa" Yuffie said as she picked up the plates and scrapped them into the bin.
Gggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, don't think I'm going to give up, you may have won this round, but you can't take Vincent from me Irrestia silently threatened.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vincent was cleaning up after a second, much more successful breakfast.
Yuffie had decided to take a shower.
And Irrestia was watching T.V
"Where are we going next?" she called from the sofa
"I don't know, in all honesty I haven't really think that far ahead," he admitted as he washed one of the plates.
" How 'bout Mideel, I never been there, and apparently after the lifestream incident they cleaned it up and made a lot of changes, I hear they even have a *shopping parade" she suggested
"All right, then Mideel it is" he said.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(In the bathroom)
Yuffie stepped out of the steam filled shower and grabbed a towel; she wrapped it round her self and dried her self off. She shook her head quickly to dry her hair.
"Pwwwww."
She leant over and grabbed her clothes and started to dress.
"Yuff, hurry up we're going to Mideel and the boat leaves at nine (am)" Vincent called from outside the door.
"Alright, just gotta find my top" she replied
Why did she have to say that groaned Vincent to himself, for that brief second he cursed himself for being a man.
She found her top and pulled it over her head, she bent over
(A/N: Bit of luck Vince wasn't in there,) and picked up his headband she started to walk over to the door, she stopped as she noticed Vincent had left his cape on the side, she walked over to it and lifted it up, she hugged it tightly and then folded it up again.
"Okay? Ready to go?" Irrestia asked as Yuffie came out of the bathroom.
"Almost, oh and here thanks for lending these to me" she said passing Irrestia the clothes.
Vincent walked over to them and Yuffie passed him his cape.
"Oh yeah, thank you" he said taking it from her.
Vincent and Irrestia started to walk out of the room; Irrestia stepped out of the door. Vincent stopped and turned round, he looked over to where Yuffie was standing, she hadn't moved, she had both her hands behind her.
"What's wrong?" he asked looking slightly puzzled
She smiled and waved the red ribbon at him,
"Ohhh, I see come here then" he said with a slight chuckle in his voice.
She ran forward and stood with her back to him, he lifted parts of her damp hair up and tied it in the same style that he had done the day before.
"Thanks, Vince" she said as she turned round, she stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed his cheek.
She walked to the door and past Irrestia who was now standing in the door way (and had seen the whole thing.)
Irrestia stepped out of the room once more with more fortitude to succeed in keeping Vincent for her self than the last time she had left the room.
Vincent had not noticed the stare of Irrestia. He touched his cheek and smiled.
A/N: Lucky Yuffie, please R&R if you like
A/N: hheeee, thanks to everyone that is reviewing.
Vincent stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel; he wrapped round his waist and leant against the wall. He allowed himself to slip down the wall and sit on the floor; he bought his knees up under his chin.
