Tifa and Cloud's House

Once she caught up to the group, she was scolded by Cid and Barret to hurry up next time, they had been waiting for her for two minutes and did not appreciate it. Tifa was the one who told them to stay behind and wait for her, considering that they already knew where Tifa and Cloud's house was and Yuffie did not.

Once they arrived at the house, Yuffie scanned it in silence. The outside was beautiful, it was a nice house. It happened to be a very pretty light blue with a brownish-blackish roof. 'Hey, it'd look a lot better in green,' she told herself. As they walked in, she thought she was in Heaven. There was a round black staircase in front of her, the walls in the house were painted very light pink. It was probably Tifa's idea, but no doubt Cloud wouldn't disagree on it. Tifa always won arguements, even with Cid and Barret. Yuffie could learn a great deal on the subject of arguement and winning from Tifa.

Tifa spotted Yuffie, Cid and Barret and began walking over to them. "Wow, Tiff, this is so nice.. You picked the wall color, right? Yuffie asked curiously.

"Yeah," Tifa replied. "I think it turned out great, don't you, Cloud?" she called over to Cloud who was sitting in the living room in a light conversation with Nanaki.

"What did you say, Tifa?" Cloud asked her as he got up and practically ran over to Tifa, placing his arm around her waist gently.

"Don't you agree with me that the walls turned out nicely?" Tifa questioned him, annoyance in her voice.

"Well, yeah. Of course they did. I'm the one who picked out the color, anyways," Cloud joked.

Yuffie let out a soft giggle. "Look, Cloudy's a girl now! Let's go dress 'her' up back in those clothes he wore---whoops. I wasn't supposed to say anything, I promised Aeris I wouldn't.. Anyways, since that's broken, she said you looked cute in them," Yuffie said, letting another giggle escape.

"Yeah. He looked nice.. It's no wonder why Don Corneo picked him--" Tifa was cut off when Cloud put his hand over Tifa's mouth, his face flushed.

"Er, you heard nothing!" Cloud told the others with his best fake im- serious-about-this face.

A while after talking in the living room, Cloud and Tifa showed everyone to their rooms. It was a four bedroom house, so she had to share with someone. Tifa reassured her friends that there was two beds per room. Everyone, except Yuffie and Vincent, agrued about who bunked with who, untill Cloud pipped in, sick of hearing the bickering and decided himself.

"Okay, here's how it'll work. Cait Sith, you're with Nanaki. Cid, with Barret, and Yuffie, you're sharing a room with Vincent. Tifa and I will be in our room."

"Cloud.. Can't I just change you? I'll go with Tifa and you can go with Vincent? I don't want to sleep in a room with HIM!" Yuffie announced, pointing towards Vincent.

"No, it's already been decided. What I say is final, now Vincent, Yuffie, follow me. I'll show you to your room. The rest of you go with Tifa, she'll show you to yours. Do what you want 'till Seven, then we meet in the dinning room for dinner. Until then, I'll see you all later." Cloud told everyone while started walking upstairs as Yuffie and Vincent followed Cloud silently.

Yuffie wasn't her usual cheerful self when they got there. She was silent,which amazed Cloud was, all the way to the room. Vincent walked into the room before Yuffie and started near the bed by the window. "Vincent! I wanted that one!" Yuffie protested as he sat down on it.

Vincent sighed, got up, and walked to the other one, and as Cloud walked out of the room after seeing they decided already, he called out. "Remember, dinner's at seven, breakfast at nine in the morning, lunch at twelve. Miss any of those and you'll be forced to scrounge up food for yourselves." He closed the door gently after him.

After what felt like forever for Yuffie, seven finally came to. She was starving by then, because, of course, she hadn't eaten anything today other then--actually, she realized she didn't eat anything at all. No wonder she was more hungry then ususal.

She skipped down to the dinning room at exactly seven, wondering what was for supper. When she got downstairs, she found out that Tifa had cooked up chicken, mashed patatoes, and corn. Cloud was the one who dished out the plates of food, while Yuffie drooled over the scent of the food. When she finally got hers, she ate it in five minutes flat. "Mmm.. Thanks, Tiff. That was great!" Yuffie announced as she got up and placed her dish in the sink.

Everyone looked at her in amazement, when Cid pipped in, "Holy fuck, brat. You ate that like you hadn't eaten in two years!"

Yuffie giggled at that, she never thought he of all people would notice that. "Well.. I didn't eat anything today..and well, I was just hungry.. I'm going upstairs, though. I gotta organize my materia! Some dim-wit," she glared at Cloud, "went through my materia again, and made it disorganized."

"Okay, Night, Yuffie." Tifa hugged her and Yuffie sped off to her and Vincent's room, not listening to what anyone else saying good night to her. Once she got to her destination, she locked the door behind her, forgetting Vincent stayed in the room too.
Twenty minutes later, she was halfway through organizing her materia when someone tried to open the door, to find out it was locked. "Yuffie, unlock the door.." Vincent called to her.

She did as he obeyed and took twenty-five more minutes to finish organizing her materia. Once she was finished, she put it all away and went over to Vincent's bed to check what he was doing. "Whatcha doin', Vinnie?"

"..." was the reply she got. Typical, just like him. Never really talking.

She got annoyed by him reading so she turned out the lights--all of them and went to lie in her bed, ending up getting in the wrong bed and landing on the already lieing down Vincent. "Wow.. When did my bed get this lumpy?

"Yuffie.. Would you kindly please get off of me and go to your own bed?" Vincent asked her calmly.

"Y-yes, s-sorry!" She was glad at that moment the lights were off, she knew she was blushing like mad. 'He's muscular.. Ack! I cannot be thinking these kind of thoughts about Vinnie.. He's like...fourty years older than me!' she thought, almost forgetting to get off him. Luckily for her, she did. She got up and walked to her own bed, almost tripping over things..one she could tell was the book Vincent was reading. She lied down in her own bed and closed her eyes and drifted to sleep. She hoped Vincent forgot about what happened by the morning, it was an embarrassing moment for her.
