A/N;: I was listening to my Ra Cd's when all of the sudden this bopped me in the brain.

Everyone told her it wasn't right, that she could do better.

She didn't listen. She didn't care. He was perfect to her, and that was all that mattered. He was better than all the materia in the world.

She knew that he'd didn't feel the same about her, wanting only the love that he never had from a woman that was long dead. But, he did accept that she felt that way, and he let her stay with him, despite the lewd comments they received.

Over time, she began to understand why he would feel the way he did.

Understand, but not Accept.

She constantly tried to get him to get over it, but each attempt failed. And each failure cut her heart deeply. Till she just gave up, on him and life.

He saw how she treated herself then, and added it to his lists of sins. But this time, he wouldn't leave it at that.

He'd try and make up for that sin.

He arranged for their friends to come over, for an anniversary party from Sephiroth's defeat and the battle against the silver haired men, Yazoo, Loz, and Kadja.

They accepted, and came. He was pleased to see her surprised when she saw all of them, and how happy she was as the night wore on. It was late that night, early morning, when she confronted him about it.

"Soo..." She started as they stood on the mansions balcony. "What made you do all of this?"

"I did not wish for you to become like me." He stated simply.

However, this made her very happy. "Aww, so really do care about me!"

Under the cowl of his cloak his smiled slightly. "I never said I didn't, Yuffie."

She wrapped her arms around him, surprising him. "Thanks Vincent, for everything." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before rushing away into their mansion.
