Chapter 10- Vincent

Cloud blinked and looked puzzled, Vincent didn't say anymore, he just leantagainst the wall, as though it was the only thing that was keeping him stableand upright. "Vincent? What about Reno? Is he alraight? What happened?"Vincent didn't answer the blonde, his ruby eyes were fixed on the floor,and Cloud; to his surprisse, was certin that he saw was suspisiously like ablush on the Ex-TURK's face.

"I...Eh...He...ah...Im okay, It's nothing..." As soon as Vincent said this Cloudeyes narrowsd suspiciously at his friend and Vincent mentally groaned,knowing that Cloud didn't belive a god damned word that he had just said.The brunette sighed tiredly and pushed himself off of the wall, only to sithimself down onto a nearby discarded crate.Cloud watched him for a moment then walked over and crouched down nextto Vincent and sighed "Look Vincent, I'm not your enemy, Im only trying tohelp you, like you helped me" Vincent blinked at this and strightened up alittle but didn't say anything, so the blonde man continued "Everyone couldsee something was up the moment you walked in, I just wish you'd tell me, Imean I told you my secret, Vince, and you helped me throught it..."

Cloud turned and placed a hand on Vincent's shoulder "...Now I want toreturn the favour, just tell me what's going on, and what that red-headedmoron has got to do with it" Vincent wanted to open his mouth and protestthat Reno wasn't a moron, but then decided not to, he frowned to himselfand remaind silent, Cloud sighed and realized that his brunette friend wastense as hell and had been since Cloud had confronted him.Cloud chuckled to himself and Vincent looked up in surprise "Look Vince,whatever it is, it isn't going to shock me, or kill me, I mean I got over Sephcoming back to life quickly enough didn't I?" Vincent nodded and Cloudnoticed that he slowly began to relax. Cloud smiled at this, and after amoment, he nudged the Red eyed turk in the ribs gently and said "So areyou going to tell me about what happend with you and Reno or what?"

Vincent turned to Cloud who was crouched next to him and after a moment,he took a deep breath "He...He must have been...delusional with the fever...ormaybe the alcohol...because..he..." The ruby eyed Turk paused and Cloudwaited panitently for the rest, when it finally came, it was so quiet thateven Cloud with his enhanced hearing, almost missed it. "...He kissed me..."

Cloud blinked in surprise, that, was the last thing he had expected, but then Cloud grinned and gave Vincent's shoulder and encouraging squeeze "See?That wasn't so hard now was it?" Vincent shook his head a small, relivedsmile on his lips, but it quickly faded away to a frown "Vince? What is it?"

Vincent didn't answer, the Brunette Ex-Turk squeezed his eyes shut andclenched his fists in anger and Cloud knew Vincent well enough to know why."It's the demons again isn't it?" Cloud asked Vincent opened his eyes andblinked at Cloud's question before nodding slightly, he hands still curled up tightly into fists, it was then Vincent noticed a trickle of blood seeping from his claw hand, Cloud shook his head, before he ripped off the arm ofhis shirt and wrapped it around Vincent's hand; Vincent just let his friendwork; he knew Cloud well enough to know that if he protested, the blondewould just go and do it anyway. "What are they saying? The demons?"

Cloud asked as he tied the makeshift bandage on Vincents hand, Vincenttested the bandage gingerly before he nodded his thanks to Cloud, thenafter a moment, he answered."They...They keep saying that I'm a betrayer...that I betrayed her in life...and... and now I'm doing it to her in death..." Cloud's eyes widened at this,and he realized that both the demons and Vincent were talking aboutLucrecia. Cloud turned Vincent to him and looked him in the eyes, Vincentbarely managed to stare back. "Listen to me Vincent, you were never toblame for Lucrecia's death, that was Hojo, he killed her! And he made Sephwhat he was 2 years ago! It was nothing to do with you...you were alreadyin the coffin by then...how could it be your fault?"

Vincent's eyes widened and he shook his head slowly "It...It can't be myfault" Cloud let go of Vincent and leaned back nodding in agreement at this,there was silence for a moment before Cloud actaually spoke again. "No andit never was, the demons are just trying to make you feel guilty forsomething that you couldn't have stopped" Vincent nodded and smiled at Cloud."Thank you Cloud" Cloud smiled back and nodded as if to say 'Don't mention it'The blonde sighed and stood up, his backside had been growing numb formsitting down for so long, and he streched, cracking his neck which made Vincentwince, before he sat back down "So are you gonna tell me about Reno or what?"

Vincent chuckled at the blonde warrior's not-so-subtle attempt of changingthe subject."Alright..." Vincent said Cloud smiled and leaned in for Vincent's story...
