Hello! My latest FF7 fic is what you are preparing to read. It
is an Aeris/ Vincent pairing, but it will be relatively long. I hope.
It's taken much too long
To get it right
Would it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle
And all you really need
Is everything you could never be
And so you'd give it all
For a miracle
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle
You never really know
What it is
Not until it goes
And if it comes again
It's a miracle
But what you miss is love
In everything below and up above
And could she bring it all
A miracle
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle
All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
All you wanted was a (miracle)
All you needed was a miracle
A miracle
It's taken so long to get it right
Could it be so wrong
To maybe find someone
A miracle
Is there a trace
Inside her face
Of a lonely miracle
And so you wait
And lie awake
For a lonely miracle

The first sight that Vincent Valentine saw after waking from
thirty years of sleep was the face of Aeris Gainsborough. In a single
instant that seemed to stretch for an eternity, the red eyed man took
in her brown hair, glittering green eyes and the concerned smile that
twisted her lips beautifully. For the first time in thirty years,
Vincent felt desire for a woman other than Lucrecia. It was a foreign
feeling that immediately made him feel guilty for even considering
another woman in such a way, when Lucrecia had suffered so much
because of him.
"Hello! I'm Aeris. What's your name?" Aeris was happy to
introduce herself to the gorgeous creature that was sitting up in the
icy coffin. Cloud was delightful, but he belonged with Tifa.
Sephiroth had been kind to her and had loved her like the brother she
had always wanted, but even he hadn't the slightest bit of the beauty
of this black haired, red eyed angel. He possessed rather
aristocratic features that suited him well; another feature that
seemed to suit him well was the mournful sadness that looked as if to
radiate from him. Aeris felt a disturbing desire to know what had
caused such sadness, yet she knew it was none of her business. The
man appeared somewhat suspicious of her cheery greeting, and it was
then that she realized how strange he looked.
"My name is Vincent. Vincent Valentine." Aeris repeated the
name softly, surprised to find that it came almost too easily to her
lips. Cloud had been standing near by; the spiky haired blond stepped
forward to explain their quest, and Aeris felt the familiar pang when
Cloud told of Sephy's crimes. The conversation gave the impression
that Vincent had known Sephiroth's mother, a woman named Lucrecia. In
a glimpse of Cetra insight, Aeris knew that this woman was the cause
of Vincent's sadness. Vincent blamed himself for the woman's death,
blame Aeris felt was misplaced. But it was none of her business, so
she would not interfere.
Vincent spent the majority of their hike to Mt. Nibel watching
the last Cetra. He was nearly hypnotized by the gentle sway of her
hips, and the way the wind pulled at her hair, always appearing to
almost come loose, but when the gust had passed, her twist was still
intact. Once, she had caught him looking at her. Vincent had felt
his cheeks get hot, but she had merely smiled mysteriously and had
gone back to undoing and redoing Yuffie's braid, much to the young
ninja's irritation. Vincent thought that Yuffie secretly liked the
attention, and he was remotely curious to the cause of Yuffie's
childish actions. He was certain that it was just a cover for a
childhood lacking in affection. The former Turk was even more curious
about the way Aeris was aware of Yuffie's true feelings; he feared
that the young woman might be aware of his inner self, a fear that
greatly upset his usual calm.
Vincent was so absorbed in observing Aeris that he was
completely unaware of the coffee colored eyes that watched his every
move. Tifa saw how the newest addition to the team followed Aeris
with his eyes, and it bugged the hell out of her. Aeris already had
Cloud eating out of her hand. Tifa was determined not to let Vincent
fall under her spell, too. Cloud saw how Aeris seemed to brighten at
the attention Vincent was paying her, and the ex-SOLDIER felt burning
jealousy spread within him. The rather short man with the beautiful
Mako blue eyes saw how Tifa watched Vincent, and instead of mere
jealousy, and fiery rage consumed Cloud's heart. He began to hate
Vincent Valentine.

"Aeris, duck!" Vincent dived and managed to push Aeris to the
ground as the Materia Keeper's attack now whooshed harmlessly
overhead. He had stayed close to her during the entire fight. He
didn't dare use his Limit Break for fear of hurting her. Vincent
fired his gun, blasting off the leg he had been firing at for the last
five minutes. That made a total of four legs he had eliminated.
Aeris stood and performed a powerful Ice 2 spell against the monster.
It did a lot of damage, but not enough, and Vincent felt his heart
leap into his throat as the beast charged toward her. Aeris seemed to
freeze as the beast came at her, and Vincent shoved her out of the
way. He felt himself transform into Galian Beast, and he attacked
Materia Keeper again and again, careful to use only Berserk Dance.
The boss was quickly defeated, and Vincent collapsed, human once more.
"Vincent!" He heard Aeris say his name with alarm, but it was
out of concern for him. He was aware of her presence when she ran to
his side, cradling his head. "Wow, so that's your Limit Break." Her
voice trailed off, and Vincent opened his eyes to see a suspicious
moistness in her green gaze. He was puzzled, worrying that he somehow
scared her with his transformation, when a watery smile lit up her
face. "Oh Vince, I was so scared! I never freeze up like that! I
thought that thing was gonna kill me for sure!" Relief washed over
him, she had not been afraid of him, but the monster blocking their
way. Suddenly aware of their position, Vincent sat up, and looked at
Aeris curiously. She actually blushed, making her look even prettier.
Vincent quickly ascertained that no one was watching them. Before he
knew what he was doing, Vincent Adrian Valentine, former Turk, kissed
Aeris Jane Gainsborough soundly on the lips.
Shocked at what he had done, Vincent tried to pull away, only to
find Aeris's arms wrapped around his neck, her soft lips pressed
against his with newly discovered passion. The kiss was over before
any of the other AVALANCHE members knew what had happened, but its
memory lingered in the minds of the participants with warm welcome.
They broke apart in an instant as Vincent heard Tifa's footsteps
turn in their direction. They were partially hidden by the body of
the monster, but if Vincent was going to kiss the lovely Cetra, it was
not going to be with a jealous, vindictive martial artist watching.
And it would be more than just kisses. This decision shocked him;
since when had an admiration for a beautiful woman turned into a
conscious decision to pursue? Pursuit was something Vincent had
enjoyed immensely when he was younger. But it was something that
Lucrecia had never approved of, even when he was chasing her skirt.
Vincent and Aeris' eyes met across the space they'd put between
them before Tifa had come into view. Vincent's eyes held a promise to
continue later, and Aeris shivered a little at the feelings he had
awakened. Damn, Elmira would be shocked shitless if she knew Aeris
had kissed a man she'd barely known for an hour. Aeris herself was
shocked. She'd never been kissed like that, not even by Zack, who had
only used her.
Aeris was helped up by Vincent as Tifa looked on with poorly
hidden disgust. Cloud stared at Tifa and sighed dejectedly, that damn
Turk had all the girls gawking at him. Hell even Yuffie had been
looking at him with interest.
"Okay, people. Next stop is Rocket Town. We might be able to
get a plane or something there." Cloud stayed next to Aeris the whole
trip, sometimes almost tripping her. Aeris smiled dismally. This
trip was going to be boring if Cloud kept getting in her way.

"Hell No!!!!! You're never gonna get my baby you punk!!!" Cid
Highwind had long since turned various shades of red and finally
purple. It appeared that he would never part with Tiny Bronco, even
though a date with Tifa had been a temptation. Vincent was just about
fed up with the man's shit. He hated swearing, and stubbornness
and.pilots. It was just something to do with the fact that Lucrecia
had had a thing for pilots. Uugghh!! Why did Lucrecia have to
interfere in every part of his life, even thirty years after her
death!? It wasn't fair to the people in his present life.
"Mr. Highwind, I suggest that you turn over the goddamn airplane
before I put a bullet in your skull." Vincent had his gun out and
ready to make good on his threat. The perpetually drunk Mayor of
Rocket Town went white to the lips, and he looked around desperately
for aid. He got none.
The AVALANCHE members supported Vincent completely. They were
sick of the pilot's shit. He was being pointlessly stubborn and
obstructing their journey. They had to catch Sephiroth, and Cid was
causing unnecessary delays. Aeris watched the gun in Vincent's
unmoving hand; he held it perfectly still, pressed significantly
against the aging blond forehead. The pilot swallowed and the sweat
ran in rivulets down his face. Cid was saved by the arrival of
President Rufus.
The pilot dashed out of the tiny house and Vincent fired a shot
at his heels, making the crotchety 32 year old drop his ever present
cigarette. His live-in, a woman named Shera, led the members of
Avalanche out the back to the Tiny Bronco. It seemed that she wanted
to get back at Cid for all the years of hell he had put her through,
even though she was sorry for ruining his chance to go into space.
Aeris saw the way Shera looked at Vincent, and felt a little thrill
that the dark man was interested in her.
"Shera, are you sure we can take Tiny Bronco?" Tifa was always
polite to strangers. Shera smiled wickedly.
"Oh, don't worry. If he doesn't have to deal with that plane
he'll have to spend more time here with me." Aeris could relate, but
Cid sure would get pissed. Then again.if Vincent wasn't worried, she
wasn't worried. Vincent was always quiet, but no one ever really
forgot his presence. He was always watching from the background, like
a guardian angel, protecting the group from whatever threats they came
across. He was a wondrous source of comfort for Aeris, who had never
felt the reassuring gaze of someone wholly devoted to keeping her
safe.
Aeris had become so accustomed to the deep, rich sound of
Vincent's voice that she missed it when they were apart. He walked
beside her when they traveled, and he shared his expansive knowledge
of life with her. He helped her train when they made camp for the
night. He never seemed to tire of her company, and Aeris was relying
on him more and more to keep her from the clutches of boredom.
They walked toward the Tiny Bronco quickly.
