A/N: My reviewers are multiplying… They're attacking… SAVE ME! (wakes up, screaming)

Ishigami: (snickers)

Me: You bastard of a muse!

Ishigami: You better get typing. They may attack at any time, ya know.

Thanks reviewers: (By the way, that wasn't meant to be offensive. Ishigami is my muse and is trying to save me from headaches. I think.)

whatevergirl: Mmm, I can't reveal what I may do... This story is definitely nearing its end though... If you all want, I'll start another one soon... Thanks!

DarkMaster2: Yeah, that could be the fact that he has Jenova's cells, or because I figured that because he set out the day after Vincent, it would make sense that he'd show up the day after Vincent did. Anyway, it was nice to hear from ya!

Disclaimer: Are these really necessary?

Police officer: Read her her rights.

Me: Ok! Ok, I don't own Final Fantasy VII. It's owned by SquareSoft-(Gets poked) OK! SquareSoft sold out to Squeenix. So it's owned by SquareEnix.

Sephiroth strode into the backyard, finally reaching his destination. He couldn't stop the growl that was emitted from his throat when he found Vincent watching him by a CD player.

No doubt he had a depressed song on repeat.

"Vincent…" Sephiroth couldn't stop the growl there, either.

"Yeah?"

"Why'd you leave without telling me?"

"Since when have I needed your permission to visit a friend?" Sephiroth barely held his temper in check. How did this man make him so crazy? "Or did you think that I'd sit around at your beck and call?"

That was the last straw.

Sephiroth marched over and grabbed Vincent by his hair. He pulled Vincent close and could smell the stench of Cid's house and sweat on him. This pissed him off further.

"You've always needed my permission… You know how I get when I find you gone… Not to mention the fact that I haven't slept in days, looking for you." Sephiroth growled lowly in Vincent's ear. He gasped as he felt Vincent's fist connect with his gut. He let Vincent go, trying to catch his breath.

"You don't own me. I left because I couldn't stand what you were putting me through. You're lucky that I decided to come here instead of throw myself in the Northern Crater. But then, I'm sure you wouldn't've cared. You probably would've just started sleeping with Tifa or Reeve. You're such an asshole." Sephiroth could hear all the anger in Vincent's voice and winced.

"Dammit… Vincent, listen-"

"No, YOU listen! I'm not a plaything, Sephiroth!"

"I KNOW!" that shut Vincent up. Sephiroth stood and faced Vincent, finally noticing the nice, shiny gun in his hand.

Great.

"Look, I know you're not a plaything. I just… I'm selfish. I didn't want to share… You always run to help your friends if they call and…"

"And because of your selfishness, you don't want for him to respond to our needs." Cid walked up behind Sephiroth. "You know, I told Vincent it'd be like this, you tall, silver, abusive bastard."

"What are you-" Cid cut Sephiroth off.

"I helped him with his wounds. I cleaned them for him. I made sure he was ok, then, he'd go straight back to you. The cause of his pain. I'd call that love but, damn, you can't seem to see a good thing when it's staring you in the face!"

"Cid, leave them to their talk… It's not your place…" Shara pleaded with her husband. He wasn't what he used to be in fights, that's for sure.

"Cid. Please, let me handle this." Cid looked at Vincent then nodded slightly and turned, walking back into the house. "Sephiroth…"

"Look, I swear I'll change! I'll get a job, I'll get us a house, just don't leave…" Sephiroth bit down on his pride. Fuck pride if it would cause you to lose someone like Vincent.

"Sephiroth. I wasn't going to leave. I just… I wanted to see if I was worth anything to you… To see if you'd come… And besides, we are living in MY house. I own that place."

"Well, damn. Why didn't you say so before? Now I can kick out the others!" Sephiroth smiled softly and approached Vincent again. He softly pressed his lips against the dark-haired man's lips.

A/N: I think this is it. I mean, there will still be an epilogue but other than that, I think this is it. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Oh, sorry 'bout the fact of no song! ;;
