A/N: yep, so next chappie. Theres more of this note at the bottom. This chappie is kinda short, but I thought it worked pretty well. I was listening to Daphne Loves Derby while writing, and they have really good break up songs, so one of the things Reno says is from their songs. If ya can find it, um, i'll high five you.
Disclaimer: I'm broke. If I owned FFVII, do you think i'd be broke?
"Yuffie?"
The one word spoken seemed to echo through the cold air. All she did, though, was continue to stare into those emerald green depths.
Then slowly she realized that it was snowing, and she was actually lying on top of Reno. To top it all off, the footsteps sounded really close.
She started to get up.
He watched her get up in one fluid motion, admiring her grace. A hand was offered to him, and he took it.
"Yuffie, we…..we really need to talk," he managed to say.
"I know that you don't want to hear me, but I need to tell you something."
"Sure, Reno," she replied. She stared at his feet; it seemed too hard to look into those eyes again.
She knew that this was going to be painful, but they did really need to talk.
If only those pursuers would stop for this, she thought.
Fate, however, had decided otherwise. Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockheart had been searching for Yuffie all night. As they approached the streetlight, both of them saw Yuffie.
They also saw the red head in the blue suit.
Fearing for the worst, they got ready for battle.
She looked up from his feet, and saw two figures approaching from the shadows.
As they got closer, she realized who they were and what they were going to do.
"No! Stop!" she shouted.
Before he could react to her shout, he felt a hand on his ponytail.
Then he was getting pulled backwards, and he found a sword at his throat
"What are you doing here, Turk?"
"I….Yuffie…."
"Turk, answer me!" The sword pressed harder. Blood dripped down onto his crumpled white shirt.
"Cloud, stop! Let him go!" She yelled at the blond.
Cloud let go, and Reno fell on the ground for the second time that night. Finding no hand offered, he wearily pushed himself off the snow, and in front of her.
A lone tear ran slowly down her face as he stepped in front of her.
"Yuffie……all I wanted to say…..was that I miss you," he said haltingly, tears now running freely down his face too. "I miss the way I felt when you were around, I miss making you laugh, I miss your summer perfume. I haven't had a cigarette or anything alcoholic since that day. I haven't been able to sleep or eat."
Taking her hand in his, he kissed it.
"All I wanted to say was that I miss you. You loved me even though I didn't deserve it."
He walked off, into the dark, slowly becoming a shadow in the twilight.
She stood in the glow of the streetlight, with a shocked expression and tears running down her face.
He made it back to his apartment when the first tendrils of dawn appeared over the horizon, where he found his co-workers actually worried about him for once.
He calmly suffered their questions, only saying that he was "out", not even replying to where he had gotten a cut on his neck that was still bleeding.
Attempting to get to his room, he noted that everything seemed like it was in slow motion.
He made it as far as the doorframe. Slumping down, he began to sob.
He sat there as the sun rose, with his head down, watching as tears fell into his lap.
She sat against a wall in a dark alleyway, tears falling, much like his.
"I……miss you too…..Reno," she thought.
A/N: So this is the next chappie. If you like it...review! If you review, you get a cookie of your choice!
Do I like using those line/ruler thingys too much?
Thankie muchly for everyone who did review the last chappie, and due to sienna and evangelina, i'll write a couple more for this one...i'm still deliberating whether the ending is going to be happy or sad, i'm leaning towards happy.
