Most normal girls would have happily let Cloud kiss them. Yuffie, obviously, wasn't normal. As Cloud's lips came towards hers she pulled away from him.
He obviously wasn't expecting the turn of events as he frowned. "I am not going to be your play toy Cloud." Yuffie hissed. "You go around saying that you don't care about me in the least and then you try to kiss me, I'm not going to put up with it anymore."
"I've only tried once." Cloud answered, still leaning over her. "I'm sorry, it was a mistake."
"Then please leave Cloud, go back to your beloved Aerith and take her away from Leon and live happily ever after while I ROT in this place."
Cloud took a step back and just looked at her. "Come back for just a week, if you aren't happy then you can return here."
Well, I have to admit that I am bored... And I can pretend that I'm not attracted to Cloud but I AM... AUGHGHGHGHGH this is so confusing! "Whatever." Yuffie answered. "I'll go with you, but you'd better be a gentleman and not try anything even though I know it's hard." She went to get her few items together before he could answer.
Cloud stared at Yuffie as she got her stuff. She had ditched her old clothes and was wearing a black outfit with laced up boots. He had to admit, she did look older.
"Let's go." Yuffie said as she grabbed Cloud's arm and pulled him out the door. After telling the housekeeper that she would be gone for a little while, they left.
Yuffie walked fast, she didn't want her new friends to see that she was leaving. "Where are you going?" Yuffie stopped and glared at Seifer who was leaning ona wall, she hadn't seen him.
"I'm leaving for a little while." She answered coldly. "Not that it's any of your business."
Seifer glanced up at Cloud who was standing next to her. "Is this the guy that you're in-"
Yuffie kicked him in the leg quickly. "We're LEAVING Seifer, keep your mouth shut."
Seifer groaned as he rubbed his leg and glared up at her. "What the heck is wrong with you?"
Yuffie just shook her head and handed him an envelope. "Can you give this to Olette? I don't have time."
Seifer shook his head and sent her one of his smirks. "Fine babe, I'll be waiting for you to get back." He gave her a wink.
Cloud's face grew dark, then Yuffie grabbed his arm and pulled him along. "Let's go, I want to get this over with."
It wasn't long after that, that they boarded the Gummi Ship. Yuffie went in the back to get away from Cloud. He had to driveso he wouldn't follow her."I'm surprised that Cid let Cloud borrow his ship." She muttered as she ran his fingers over the wall. I am such an idiot,I had a chance to let Cloud kiss me and I didn't... I wonder if he likes me now? Or maybe he just wants to take advantage of me since he knows how I feel about him... ugh guys are so confusing!
Yuffie decided to go the front. Cloud had the ship on autopilot and was sitting in the chair with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. "You can't start drinking now Cloud." She tsked and grabbed the bottle from his hand and in one quick movement opened the window, threw the bottle into space and closed the window.
"WHAT THE HECK?" Cloud cried.
"You never drink, why did you have alcohol?" Yuffie asked him seriously.
"My feelings have been confusing me. I turned to that." Cloud answered. "Last night was the only night I've had that much."
"Well stop it, it's not worth it." Yuffie said, her tone a little bitter. "It'll just make things worse."
Cloud seemed to want to ask her something, but turned away from her instead. It was quiet, Yuffie was staring at his back. Her desire to be close to him was overwhelming. "Cloud." She choked out take a deep breath and then letting it over shakily.
He turned to face her. It was almost like he could see how she was feeling, considering the look on his face, he looked... almost torn about something.
Yuffie felt like she wasn't controlling her body anymore as she slowly stood up. "I... " She wanted to tell him that she loved him. She wanted for him to tell her that he felt the same way. But what she wanted and what she should do were two completely different things. "Promise me you won't drink anymore." Was what she said instead.
Cloud looked at her face and slowly nodded. Yuffie gave him a small smile and reached over to turn on some music. "I love this song!" She exclaimed as she got up and danced to the music. Cloud watched her, an amused smirk on his face.Yuffie's movements weren't too silly and she looked over at Cloud.He looked away, his face feeling hot for some reason.
Yuffie noticed his face and inwardly giggled. A bit of her silly self had just come out again. "Is my dancing that bad?" She asked him with a chuckle. Or is it just to sexy for you to handle? She giggled to herself.
Cloud shook his head and Yuffie rolled her eyes. "Destination reached." The Gummi Ship suddenly slowed down, startling Yuffie. "Ack!" She cried as she lost her footing and fell backwards, into Cloud's arms. Convinent. Yuffie looked up at his blue eyes and smiled. "Thanks once again."
Aerith greeted Yuffie with a hug when she got off. "It's so good to see you again Yuffie!"
"You make it sound like I've been gone for years." Yuffie answered as she rolled her eyes. "It's good to see you... yada yada yada."Aerith just laughed.
Leon appeared and nodded at Yuffie in greeting and then turned to Cloud. "There's someone here to see you." Yuffie glanced up at Cloud to see his face darken. "She's at the house, let's go."
"Cloud!" Yuffie watched as the dark haired woman threw her arms around his neck. "It's so good to see you again." As she pulled back Yuffie saw her face and recognized who it was. It was Tifa, an old friend, she used to live in Hollow Bastion with them. Well there goes any chance I had with Cloud. Yuffie thought to herself. Tifa had always been infactuated with Cloud and she was beautiful and older then her.
"What are you doing here?" Cloud asked her, straight to the point.
"I thought I'd visit my old friends!" Tifa answered cheerfully. "Including you of course"
"Wonderful." Yuffie said. Tifa looked at her, looking like she was trying to figure out who she was. "Yuffie." She said so that Tifa would remember her.
"Yuffie... my gosh, you look so much older, I didn't even recognize you!"
Ok, so that earned some points with Yuffie. "Heh heh... thanks, it's only been years.
Tifa smiled and thenwent over and started talking to Aerith. Yuffie turned and looked at Cloud who was staring at the two of them. "I'll be going inside." Yuffie muttered, doubting that he would even notice that she was gone.
Yuffie sat in the back room and looked out the window. Maybe Cloud'll be trying to choose between the two of them... Aerith seems happy with Leon though so he might just go with Tifa. Either way he has it made, I doubt that I'll be in the picture at all. "No use kidding myself." She said witha smirk, trying to not care.
"Kidding yourself about what?" Cloud sat down next to her.
"That anyone could care about me as more then a friend." Yuffie answered straight to the point looking in his eyes to see what his reaction would be.
"I see." He answered.
The two of them lapsed into silence. "So... why aren't you visting Tifa?"
"She... seems to think of me as more then a friend. I don't want to lead her on considering the fact that I don't feel the same way." Cloud said the words matter a fact.
"Why... do you care about someone else?" Yuffie asked.
Cloud just looked at her. "How do you know? How do you know something isn't just a crush, infactuation... when can you tell it's something different?"
"I can't really give you an explanation." Yuffie answered thoughtfully. "I think that at one point you just... know."
"I don't know, and I like to be in control." Cloud answered.
Yuffie put her hands on his shoulders and put her face near his. "Sometimes you have to let yourself take a chance, throw control to the wind."
"Yuffie I..." Aerith trailed off when she came into the room. A small smile came upon her face. "I came to ask if you would like to go out with Tifa and I but you seem to be a little busy."
"No, it's fine I can come!" Yuffie answered pulling away from Cloud without looking at him. "Where are we going?"
"To get our nails done!" Aerith answered happily as she grabbed Yuffie's arm.
Cloud smirked as Yuffie turned and make a face as if begging for him to save her. "Have fun." He said as Aerith pulled Yuffie out of the door. He was going to be in for it when she got back, for now he was going to think about what she had said.
