Soft morning light poured in through the open window and into Tifa's eyes
waking her from a very pleasant dream. Groaning she moved to snuggle closer
to Vincent but found him gone and the shower running. Picking herself
slowly from the bed she began to make her way towards the window so she
could shut the curtains but gapped at what she saw. All of the mist was
gone and in its place sparkled the perfect blue ocean. Not a single cloud
marred the silky surface of the sky and the sun shone with a peaceful
light. It was going to be a perfect day.
Tifa was still marveling at the ocean when Vincent came from the bathroom in a towel dripping water onto the fluffy carpet. Walking up behind Tifa he pulled her against his chest and kissed the top of her head before saying,
"Pretty isn't it? I talked to the guard of the airport; Avalanche is due to come in this afternoon around three."
Tifa turned in his arms and smiled, but her face fell when she saw the look Vincent had on his face. It was a look of anxiety and discomfort, not what she expected to see.
"What's wrong?"
Vincent stared at her hard, his red eyes seeming to search her for something. Finally, when Tifa felt the urge to lower her gaze, Vincent sighed and ran his claw through his hair.
"I'm...forgive me love, I'm terrible at saying things like this. I'm worried about the others, Cloud in particular, coming back."
Understanding dawned on Tifa's face almost immediately. Burying her face into his bare chest she said,
"I love you, Vincent Valentine. No one can change that. You are everything to me; I never want to let you go, never."
Vincent hugged her closer and rested his chin on the top of her head. The two of them stood there like that for a few minutes, enjoying those precious moments that only two people in love can possibly understand. Tifa finally broke away and went to go and take a shower leaving Vincent to get dressed.
One hour later the pair emerged onto the busy streets of Junon with every intention of shopping. Tifa dragged Vincent from one clothing store to the next buying dresses, summer outfits, and shoes. Once she was satisfied that she had enough clothing she started on Vincent. Jeans, khakis, and of course black dress pants were a necessity, but Tifa had only just gotten started. Shirts of blue, white and black piled high inside the cart, boots and even a few dress shoes slipped in, Tifa thought of everything he could possibly need, but Vincent only smiled and let her fuss and giggle over him. He was enjoying the attention and it made her happy.
Finally the bell tolled 2pm and Vincent decided it was time to head back. The pair changed into their normal attire [they thought it would be best] and made it out the door by 2:30. Vincent was still slightly apprehensive about meeting the others but Tifa only laid a finger to his lips before kissing him lightly.
They arrived just in time to see the Highwind land on the airstrip. Tifa pulled Vincent from the car and half walked half ran to the slightly scratched ship. Looking up at Vincent she saw he was still slightly nervous so she slipped her hand into his and leaned up against him. Vincent took a second before wrapping his clawed arm around waist and pulling her closer.
After what seemed like hours the ladder dropped the five members of avalanche slid down, with the exception of Cait Sith due to the fact that it was Reeves in his place. Cid muttered a curse about a paint chip before turning around. His jaw dropped and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the floor. Tifa giggled nervously before saying cheerfully,
"Never thought I would see the famous Cid speechless."
I would like to thank all of you for reviews, I feel so loved! I know this chapter was short and kinda stupid but I had to find someway to get from point A to point B, ya know? So anywho, the next one will be better and I won't take nearly so long now that I am half way to point B. I haven't decided if I should put any kind of crisis in but I think I may have a little trip to the Ancient Capitol. That Mist will also be explained in the next chapter. Well, give me a week and I will have another chapter, kay? I love you all!!!! And I don't own FF7 [grrrrrr!!!!!]
