~New Years!~

"Please Tifa?"

"No, Yuffie."

"Pleeeaaasssee!?"

"No!"

"PLEASE!"

"NO! Goodness, you're starting to sound like Marlene!"

"What about me?" Marlene asked as she hopped on the stool next to Yuffie.

Tifa shook her head. "Never mind, Sweetie. Are you really going to stay up till twelve tonight?"

"Of course! If Denzel did it last year, than so can I!" The five year old declared. It was New Years Eve and Cloud and Tifa's apartment were filled with loud noises all thanks to their friends. Most of the noise was from Barret, Cid, and Zack. They were playing a "Serious" game of poker with Cloud, Shera sat next to Cid watching quietly and enjoying the game.

Aerith and Denzel were watching while they multitasked into a puzzle they were trying to complete. Denzel was really good at puzzle's and he's been showing the flower lady his logic skills all night, but Aerith didn't mind, she enjoyed the company of the two happy children.

Yuffie, Tifa, and Marlene were across the room from them at the bar. Tifa was making everyone more refills while Yuffie kept begging and begging for a tiny glass of champagne as poor little Marlene was trying her hardest to stay awake since she has fallen asleep last year before the clock striked twelve. However, both Cloud and Tifa doubted that Marlene could fall asleep surrounded with all the shouts and laughter of their friends.

The one that hardly spoke out of everyone was Vincent Valentine. He sat at the corner of the bar casually drinking his champagne, his crimson colored eyes sparkled under the florescent lights making the little Wutain's heart pound every time she stole a quick glance at the mysterious man.

"Tifa, one glass won't kill me! It's not like I'm sixteen! I'm eighteen!" Yuffie continued to push Tifa, while Marlene stared blankly at the wall.

"Which is still under the drinking age." Tifa replied as she refilled everyone's glasses.

"But eighteen is considered as a YOUNG adult, and twenty-one is still young which means that whoever is twenty-one is a young adult like ME! PLEASE Tifa! I feel like….like such a child!"

"You are a child!" Marlene said while trying to fight back a yawn, Tifa smiled at her remark. It was absolutely true.

Yuffie thrusted out her lips in a pout, not noticing that Vincent was quietly admiring her. He thought she was the cutest thing, even when causing trouble, but she was way out of his league and he was way out of hers, not to mention he was older than her by nineteen years.

He pushed his now empty glass towards Tifa who gladly refilled it for him, he silently thanked her and instantly pressed the rim of the glass to his lips, gulping the strong liquids down.

"Drinking is gross!" Marlene said sticking her tongue out in disgust as she watched Tifa sip at her glass of champagne.

"Good." Tifa replied smiling over at Aerith who approached her, she looked stunning in her pink floral dress, and the pink ribbon that Zack gave her was always in her hair, it wouldn't surprise Tifa if she left it in when she slept or bathed.

"Refill?"

"Now usually, I'd say no but, it IS New Years so I think I'll have one more!" Aerith replied handing her glass to Tifa with a smile.

Tifa laughed at her as she refilled her friends drink.

Aerith crouched to her knees to rub Marlene's back. "Getting sleepy?" She smiled when the girl shook her head furiously.

"Not even a little! I just stole Cloud's fleece blanket because I'm chilly, and holding my bear, Honey because he keeps me company when everyone ignores me!"

"Nobody's ignoring you, sweetie." Tifa said handing Aerith back her glass.

"Thanks, Tifa." Aerith said standing back up to take her refilled glass before looking back at Marlene. "You can help Denzel and I with a few puzzles if you like!"

Marlene's eyes widened. "Okay!" She hopped off the stool and ran over to the living room, sitting down next to Denzel, looking all warm and cozy wrapped in Cloud's blanket.

Aerith smiled at Tifa. "Need any help?" She asked, her emerald-green eyes scanned the piles of dirty plates and drinks in the sink.

Tifa waved a hand at her before picking up the freshly made Champagne.

"Nah, I'll have Cloud take care of it tomorrow, right now, I want to sit down and play a game of poker and drink some champagne!"

Aerith smiled, as she followed Tifa into the living room where everyone else was, leaving Yuffie and Vincent alone in the bar together. "I'm rooting for you!" She leaned in to whisper in her ear so nobody else could hear. "Just don't tell Zack I told you this but, he's a total baby when he looses in poker!"

Tifa smiled and leaned in to whisper in Aerith's ear. "You have my word." She promised her friend before sitting down next to Cloud on the couch, refilling each of their glasses while Aerith sat down in front of the fire with the two children to help complete their puzzle, she was never really a big fan of poker anyways.

"Thanks, Honey." Shera said as Tifa refilled her glass.

"Yo Tifa! You just in time!" Barret greeted the young bartender before taking a sip from his glass.

"Yup! This is the final round!" Cid announced chewing furiously on his tooth pick wishing it was a cigarette but he followed the rule to not smoke in Cloud and Tifa's home, especially around the children.

"We'll have you join the next game." Cloud reassured her, smirking proudly at his deck of cards. He was going to win for sure.

"Better watch it, fellas! Look's like Zack Fair is the winner of this match!" Zack nearly shouted before slamming his deck of cards down on the coffee table, he had a straight.

"DAMN IT!" Both, Barret and Cid cursed together as they tossed their poor set of cards down on the table.

Zack smirked at Cloud. "Alright, pal. You're turn."

"If you insist." Cloud replied before placing down his set of cards causing all the men to gasp and curse at his flush.

"Damn you son of a #$*8&#!" Cid shouted then flinched at the death glare Tifa shot at him since he was using vile words in front of the children.

"Spiky, since when have you been so good at poker!?"

Cloud smirked, leaning back on the couch with his arms folded behind his head. "Since Zack taught me a few years ago when we worked for Shinra."

"And I regret that ever since…." Zack muttered under his breath as he pulled at the two thick strands of hair that hung at each side of his face.

"Rematch!" Barret hollered as he impatiently threw the deck of cards at Tifa, causing her to giggle.

"Am I shuffling?"

"Hell yeah, you are!" Zack said pausing to gulp down some of his Champagne. "You're great at shuffling," he winked at her, hoping that she'd be generous to slip him a few good cards, but Tifa just shook her head with a smile.

Zack hung his head in defeat.

"Tifa's not easy to come by." Cloud said with a small smile.

"That's right!" Tifa replied as she started to shuffle up their deck of cards.

Back in the bar, Yuffie had her eyes everywhere that Vincent wasn't. She KNEW she should have left the room with Tifa and Aerith! If she just left the room now, it would be random and just awkward…so here she was, stuck with Vincent.

She racked her brain for a good topic to break the ice, but all she could think of was Materia and how beautiful his eyes were. She knew that would scare him away if she mentioned either of those things.

"Damn it why does he have to be so sexy?" Yuffie blurted out absentminded In her own thoughts and totally forgetting that Vincent was sitting across from her at the bar, now drinking the bottle of champagne, he raised a brow slightly amused at her outburst but remained silent.

Yuffie spun around in her stool to look at him with wide chocolate-brown eyes. Her cheeks were a rosy-red. "I said that out loud…d-didn't I?" She asked him with a nervous chuckle.

"Yes." Vincent replied dryly tilting the bottle to his lips while Yuffie watched him nervously. She felt her starting to pound and the heat rising to her cheeks.

"Sorry…."

"For what?" He took another sip of champagne.

"For being obnoxious…." Yuffie said, her cheeks turning an even darker red.

Vincent gulped and swallowed the rest of what was in the bottle before he set it back down onto the counter. He studied Yuffie for a few moments before he spoke.

"You're always obnoxious,"

Yuffie sighed, "Yeah, I know." She felt her heart sink.

"But, that's what makes you cute." Vincent added, Yuffie nearly fell off her stool in shock.

"Did you just call me cute!?" Yuffie exclaimed wondering how many drinks Vincent has had. He was never this talkative and open to anyone….why her?

"Yes, It's because you are cute."

She felt her stomach doing back flips and was sure that her heart would leap up her throat in joy. This was all to good to be true. As much as she wanted too, she couldn't set her hopes high.

Vincent was a loner, and cold as ice sometimes. He was worse than Cloud ever was….that is until he realized how much love he felt for Tifa…..maybe Vincent needed the same thing…someone that will love and care for him. Yuffie would be that girl in a heartbeat.

"Vincent?" She sucked in a breath, if he was opening up to her and saying she's cute than maybe this was her chance to tell confront her feelings she has felt for him over the years.

"Yes, Yuffie?" He slowly got up from his seat and walked across the room to sit down next to Yuffie. His eyes were bright and sparkled, Yuffie could look at them forever.

"I…I …The person…the MAN I was talking about earlier was…you…"

Vincent looked even more amused. "Really?"

Oh Lothian, Yuffie screamed to herself mentally. He was hardly ten inches away from her at the moment.

"I…I'm just going to throw this out, I've liked you for a really long time! Your quiet, but I like that you're quiet! You have an amazing and totally awesome gun and cape but I wish that you wouldn't hide your face behind it so much because you have a beautiful face, I mean sexy…I mean….perfe-"

Yuffie found her words cut off and soft lips pressed against her own, her eyes widened. He was kissing her! The Vincent Valentine….kissing her, the obnoxious-hyperactive-materia-stealing-Ninja!

The world around her seemed to slow down, as if she had just used a materia command, but right now she didn't care about materia. She didn't care about anything actually, only that one person kissing her at this moment.

Not only was their to celebrate the New Year, but the start of their relationship as well.

She may not have gotten her glass of Champane, but she got her man, and that was much better.

A/N: That was my first one-shot of Vincent and Yuffie, it wasn't all about them because I have a hard time writing with this pairing but I tried! :/ I hope you all enjoy and look forwards to more! :D
