Entry #5: "Ano Sa"/ "Hey, you know…" – Principles of Devotion
"And this one?" Yuffie chirped, the sunlight bathing her lucid skin.
Reno shifted, clutching at what little of the bed sheet Yuffie hadn't used to cover herself up.
"Oh, that one was when Rude and I got majorly trash-"
Yuffie giggled and the lilting sound caused Reno to pause.
"Why do all your tattoo stories start like that?" she asked playfully, swatting his shoulder and the area in question.
Reno shrugged good-naturedly and wrapped an arm around Yuffie's think shoulders.
"It ain't interesting is there's no alcohol!" he cried, poking at the girl's sides.
She threw back her head in laughter, raven hair ruffling against the pillow, and Reno couldn't help but bury his face into the crook her bare neck. He would have pecked at the freckles that dotted the back of her shoulder blades had he suppressed his 'that's-not-very-manly' mechanism. He settled simply with squeezing the lithe form closer to his own.
"Ahem." Yuffie coughed obnoxiously, catching her lover's attention.
"Huh?"
"What's with the Honeybee girl?" she demanded, her nose poking into the tattoo in question.
Reno smiled wryly.
"She said it was temporary," came the man's simple reply, "and she was a great kiss-"
"Reno…"
"Sorry, babe. I like your thin lips better anyway."
"You know…" Yuffie sighed irritably, childishly turning her back to him.
"What?" Reno inquired curiously, pulling the girl's waist closer to his own despite her protests.
"Never mind," she replied determinedly, abruptly spinning to face him, "You know that my father still wants to meet you, right?"
It was Reno's turn to flash his back to her in frustration.
"Yuffie…" he replied curtly, "you and I both know that nothing good could possibly come out of that meeting…"
She shrugged and pressed an 'I'm-Tired-of-Arguing' kiss to his shoulder.
"I know, Turkey, but it's the principle of the matter." She stressed.
Reno heaved a sigh.
"Alright." He consented, unable to catch the word from tumbling out.
Yuffie's breath pressed against his shoulder blades like white hot fire, and he let the ascension hang in the air.
"Hey," her voice softly beckoned, "you know what?"
Reno grunted curiously.
"Thank you"
Reno released a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.
"Thought you were going to say I love you or something," Reno replied, obviously relieved.
Yuffie chuckled, her body shaking gently against his own.
"Do I really have to?" she asked as the giggles subsided, lavender eyes filled with questions.
With a frenzied kicking aside of sheets and a kiss that made her skin sing his praises, Yuffie had her sign of devotion.
