Tifa felt Vincent's wandering hand withdraw from her shirt and she almost groaned. His touch was like fire upon her flesh. He trembled for a moment, trying to control himself, and then sat up slowly to gaze into her face longingly.
"Forgive me," he spoke quietly, tracing her chin with his hand gently.
"Don't apologize, Vincent," she replied, seeing his dark eyes grace over her body again.
Vincent laid back down beside her, taking her hand in his in such a loving gesture that her heart began to race. Tifa smiled to herself, letting her racing heart slow down just a bit. They just laid there in the dark, content to have each other as silent company. Then Vincent broke the silence.
"Tifa…?" he whispered, closing his eyes.
"Yeah?" she replied, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
He pulled her in closer, letting her snuggle into his side. She rested her head on his chest, and clung to him lazily. His arms wrapped around her, holding her tight. Tifa was beginning to wonder if he wasn't going to continue, but then he did.
"These past two days have been hard on us, haven't they?" he continued softly, petting her hair delicately.
Tifa nodded in agreement, feeling her sleepy eyes close. All she wanted to do was lie here against Vincent, savoring his warmth.
"But I don't like it here," she added, her mind drifting into a daydream.
"Neither do I," he spoke, her pleasant scent flooding him as he held her.
"With that awful bar down there, I might get drunk again…" she remarked, laughing softly as she remembered all the wasted money she'd spent the first night of her binge.
Vincent didn't say anything, but instead he traced a claw finger gently up her back. Tifa shuddered and leaned up to kiss him. Her lips brushed his so tenderly, Tifa wanted to cry.
As the kiss ended, Vincent spoke into her ear, "Let us leave this place… come with me… we could go anywhere."
His words melted her, melted her heart, her body, and her soul. She rested against his body again, feeling herself become sleepy.
"Yes, I want to go with you…" she replied dreamily, smiling with her eyes closed.
"Anywhere… as long as you're with me," he whispered, feeling himself become sleepy as well.
"Somewhere where it snows…" Tifa insisted, her voice so soft and quiet Vincent could barely hear her. She nuzzled his neck and then laid her weary head down to sleep.
Vincent drifted off into slumber as she spoke to him, giving her a sleepy smile.
"Somewhere where it snows... yes..." he whispered.
