A/N: Im sorry, the chapter is a tad short hehe. See the thing is, I actually wrote this entire story with all its chapters like 9 weeks ago and after re-reading it I figured I'd change the ending a bit. So, because of that I re-wrote from chapter 13 and onwards. I forgot to write chapter 15 lol.
She began cooking up a storm, a big breakfast for everyone. She sighed, of all of them, she was the only one who knew how to cook a decent meal. Then again if any of them had ever cooked, she probably wouldn't attempt eating the food. Knowing them and their ability to cook the meal would probably end up half cooked and raw in the middle. Or even worse, burnt to the point where the words 'charcoal' just doesn't even explain it.
Yuffie was busily showing Marlene how to crack an egg so that the yolk would come out whole instead of smashing up and mixing the yellow liquid with white. Though, she wasn't really executing her teaching skills with her egg cracking lessons as she too could not master the art of cracking a sunny side up egg perfectly. The young girl roared with laughter after three attempts of breaking a sunny side up egg. The ninja jumped around angrily and groaned.
"You just have to relax and not smash the egg like its some sort of fiend Yuffie," Tifa added quietly.
The ninja threw the older woman a death like stare, one that said 'if looks would kill..'
Tifa laughed, "Well I was only trying to help."
Yuffie rolled her eyes, "Whatever…" she mumbled and turned away. The white fabric caught her eyes and she turned back to the older woman, "Say, where did you get that shirt?" she arched her brows questionably at the brunette. "It looks so familiar," she patted her chin and looked to Marlene.
The little girls eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I know whose it is!"
Tifa's eyes widen as the red seeped into her cheeks. "It's Clouds.." she answered.
The silence in the room was so quiet that if one dropped a single hair you could almost hear the echo followed after. The ninja stared open mouthed at Tifa, then it all click. The time that the brunette woke up, the shirt she was wearing, the happy smile planted on her lips. Every single piece of evidence pointed at one man alone and what had obviously happened the night before when the rest of them had been drinking.
The question did stand above their suspicious friends the night before. They had been all wondering just exactly where the 'hero' and brunette lady had disappeared off too.
"You mean.." her mouth hung open, "Last night, when.. when we were drinking, you and.." she gasped.
Tifa blushed and turned back to the sizzling bacon.
"Aww, Tifa's in love," Yuffie smiled widely and jumped around the kitchen.
The brunette smiled helplessly and nodded, "Yeah you could say that."
"So, when we saw you on the ground.." the ninja smirked, "Aww, so cute."
Marlene giggled.
"Go to your man already," Yuffie patted the woman on the shoulder. "Marlene and I can take over from here.."
Tifa looked wearily at the bacon then at Yuffie. "You sure you won't burn it?"
The ninja rolled her eyes, "Tifa, Tifa, Tifa.. how could you think so low of me.." Yuffie complained and snatched the saucepan into her own hands. She took the spatula and began cooking.
"Go already," Marlene attempted to push Tifa out of the kitchen.
She smiled warmly at the two of them, "Just don't burn the bacon okay.." she said.
"We won't," Yuffie smiled. "Go Go Go.."
She stepped up onto the first step, and the smile on her face grew wider. She remembered last night. Each touch, kiss, and everything that they shared together. Love was what she would call it. Loving someone, and being in love. They were two different things. She had loved someone long ago, but she was never in love. She felt for him, but he didn't feel the same and now that he did, she was in love.
She grinned wider and stepped off the last step, her eyes glanced down the hall and rested on a familiar blonde. He was wearing only his boxers and nothing else, with his hand on the bathroom door and his hair sticking up at every other direction. He smoothed it down with his other hand, still not aware of the eyes that watched him. He turned the knob but before he could step in a brunette slipped her way between him and the door.
He smirked and leaned in, closing up the gap between them. He let linger a gentle kiss to her lips and drew back. "Morning."
His other hand slipped down to rest on her hip, and he smiled at her. "I love you," he smiled and kissed her forehead. "I love all of you Tifa."
She smiled warmly, "I love all of you too," she ran her hand down his chest.
"Their not expecting you downstairs anytime soon?" he asked.
She shook her head.
He smirked, "Good."
She raised her brow, "What are you planning Mr Strife?"
He laughed, "Lets take a shower then."
"Okay that I can do," she smiled seductively and pulled him into the bathroom.
The laughter of two lovers made the vampire smile from where he stood. He had been meaning to use the toilet but stopped when he saw them in their moment together.
