A/N: I just finished cleaning my fish tank… eww fish poop, anyway. I just HAD to add in some fishy goodness. Romance? Do you think I should have romance or no? I 'm sorry, I know it's been so long since I updated and I'm really sorry. My computer was on the blink for a while but I fixed it. This was meant to be up two days ago, stupid computer.
Disclaimer: I, Vivi do not own ff7 yada yada ya! Yah, you get the point.
"I'm serious! That's what we did… Yuffie, put that down," Cloud was having major trouble keeping the young ninja out of trouble and relating their story to her.
Yuffie was acting like an eight year old (according to a test I took I act that age :P) and her curiosity was getting the better of her. She giggled when she saw the fish tank. Four gold fish, a black fish with puffy eyes that stuck out on the sides of its head, two white/multicoloured fish, and a red fish with black tinges over its scaly body.
"ooh," Yuffie cooed. "Can I name them?" she never gave Cloud a chance to answer as her finger was waving in all directions and her mouth opening and closing. "I call this one Barrett… he reminds me of Barrett," her finger hovered above the space where the black puffy-eyed fish swam. "And this one…" she pointed to the red and black fish who was in the corner, almost out of sight (believe me, once I thought it had died because it was so still!), drifting peacefully. "Vincent," she said softly. 'Hehe, it acts like Vinnie too.' She stood up, her eyes still locked on the fish when she turned around.
"AHHH!" she jumped back and almost knocked over the fish tank. "Vinnie!" taking a deep breath she continued. "I…" her voice sounded almost dreamy.
Cloud had been watching Yuffie's progress around the room. From the bar, to the curtains, to the fish tank then onto the silent gunslinger. 'Wait a minute, silent gunslinger?' He looked back to the space where Vincent had been standing. A confused look crossed his face, where did they go? He sighed and he turned his head down, and almost instantly straight up. That sight would remain imbedded in his memory forever more. Sighing seemed to be common in this place for another passed through his mouth. Looking down, he couldn't see then once more, but out of the corner of his eye he saw them. Kissing as though their lives depended on it.
"Cloud…" a sweet voice called out. 'So pure and simple. This person should not have to be burdened with… wait a minute, I'm sounding like Vincent now.'
Glazed eyes focused on the scene in front of him. 'Were they lovers? No, they couldn't be. They would've told me. Wouldn't they? Well, Vincent does keep his silences…' his thoughts trailed off. If eyes could widen more than his were at the scene that had claimed his now then they'd be pretty spectacular. The other two occupants of the room were stripping down to their undergarments. It was this that made Cloud do what he hadn't done in ages. He fell down and cried.
"CLOUD!" the shout made his head ache.
Slowly, his eyes adjusted to the light. "Oww… What happened?" a nervous chuckle reverberated from a corner of the room and glares were sent to the same corner.
"Well… you had an accident," Tifa began. "No! Not that kind of accident," she added when she saw his eyes dart down towards the end of his bed. "I mean…"
But she was cut off by Cid before she could finish. "She means to say that you had a f($& feinting fit when Vincent entered the room." Cloud didn't feel like widening his eyes but nevertheless it happened without his say so.
"Uhh, if you're implying that I'm gay…"
"No! Of course not! Well… it is kind of strange that it happened when he entered…"
"But he was already in the room!" a squeaky voice called out.
"Shut the f up brat. It yo' f&$ fault we in dis mess!"
"Barrett, I fear you are mistaken." A deep voice sounded. "Yuffie took no part…"
"YES!" cried out a slightly delusional voice. "YUFFIE DID! AND YOU VINCENT! HOW COULD YOU …"Cloud's sentence was never finished as his head had hit the pillow and his vocal cords produced snores. Sighs echoed throughout the room. A glance darted from Vincent to Yuffie and vice versa.
Yuffie felt sad and depressed, she had only arrived a day ago and already everyone was against her. She sighed as she saw Mr.Angsty himself, walking up to meet her.
"Hey Vinnie." Vincent nodded in reply and moved to sit on a bucket furthest away from Yuffie but her hand snaked out and pulled him onto her seat. "Oh no you don't mister. If you come to talk to "The Great Ninja Yuffie" then you must show some respect!"
"Yes… Respect," he replied. A rather awkward silence followed until Yuffie piped up.
"So… What didya come to me about?"
"…Cloud… what do you think he meant when he was awake?"
Enjoy!
