(This one if from Vincent's point of view! Mix it up a bit! Oh yes... Aeris is her real name. Aerith is her Kingdom Hearts name. If you check on the searches for characters, it's Aeris G. So, If you don't like that I spell it like it does in Final Fantasy VII, then you can get over your little anger management over misspelling things, because I think Aeris is the right way to spell it.)
Ever since I decided to go with Cloud and the gang when they found me, my views are different. I'm suddenly feeling how I use to before my heart was shattered. I'm suddently feeling friendship and even...love. It's different and I'm not use to it, so I find myself sheltering myself from my new friends. I don't know why, but I can't help but do it. I fear that I'll act like a fool infront of them, and even her. I keep my mouth shut do I don't say anything stupid. I always said something stupid around Lucrecia. I've never been that great on talking to people I like. I was suprised when Red XIII told me to go with Cid and her to assist Cloud in finding Aeris.
Yuffie has always been something I desired. She is just so happy and upbeat. That's how I want to be. She is beautiful, smart, sly, and quick too, but she is much to young for me. Sometimes, I'll just be sitting there thinking, and somehow, my mind will wonder to naughty thoughts about her. I end up coming out of it, no matter how hard it is, and I just have to slap myself. It's just wrong to love her.
I didn't want to go with them, but Red XIII thought it was for the best. We were on the ship and Yuffie was huddled over in the corner and throwing up in a bag. I wanted to comfort her, but I decided that it was best that I didn't, and in doing so, my mind wandered again. I realized what I was thinking and had to slap myself. Cid just looked at me like I was some kind of phyco. I was aware that it seems like it.
When we were dragging Cloud to the city, I could just feel someone's eyes piercing my back. I looked back to see that it was Yuffie. Why was she staring at me so hard? Cloud struggled and ran off, and Yuffie stuck close by my side talking to me. It made me feel nervous. I was frightened. Like always I said something stupid.
"Do you miss your old life?" Yuffie asked.
"Of course. Back then, I could get away from the girl I loved easily. Now, it's a lot harder."
"Now? You're in love with someone?" She had a sadness in her voice.
"Yeah. I mean--You're in my party--I mean--Red XII made me come--I mean--ehhh. Uhh." I decided just to shut up. Now she knew that I was in love with her, and much younger woman. I knew that she knew because she smiled at me. Her beautiful goofy smile.
While waiting for Cloud to come back, Cid went to investigate for a few minutes. That left me alone with Yuffie. A nervous predicament.
"So, who do you love, Vinny?" She had to ask.
I didn't answer. I just looked down.
"Hmm? Vinny?" She was stepping closer.
I still didn't answer.
"Who, Vinny?" She was in my face.
I couldn't take it anymore. She was asking for it. I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to me. I pulled her lips to mind and kissed her. I didn't know what I was doing. Was I getting so bad that I couldn't control my urges?
I snapped out of it and tried to pull away. Then I realized that she had her hands wrapped around my neck and was kissing me back. I went into a little shock. I pushed her away.
"What are you doing?" I couldn't help but shout.
"But, I thought you loved me..." She was looking at the ground.
"You don't understand! I do--It's just that--you wouldn't understand."
"What? Because I'm a child? Well, I'm not!"
"Yuffie! You're not a child, but I'm still to old."
"Love has no age Vinny!"
I couldn't reply. She was right, but it felt so wrong. She was looking at me now.
"Red XIII didn't want me to tell Cloud, but he's guaranteed me that if we get Aeris, she'll be alive again, and her and Cloud will live happily ever after. I want that, and you're the person I want that with."
She was looking down again.
I didn't know what to say. I walked up to her and hugged her. She pushed me away.
"No! If you don't want that, I won't force you to."
She was crying.
"Yuffie. I do want that, I just didn't know if it was right." I looked down.
I felt like she hated my guts. I couldn't help but drop a few tears. She get close to me again, and whiped the tears from my cheeks. I did the same for her. She hugged me, and it felt so perfect.
"Then let's be together Vinny. We both want it. So, why not?"
"I can't think of a reason why not."
She smiled and I couldn't help but kiss her. We heard Cid cursing so we looked to see him. He broke his spear. Yuffie giggled her sweet laugh, and I knew she was ment for me. Lucrcia didn't love me like I loved her, but Yuffie feels the same way about me as I do her. Life couldn't be more perfect right now.
