Yuffie walked back holding on to Vincent, he was still a little frightend but a lot calmer now that he was in the company of Yuffie. He slightly whimpered, on the way back, but that was normal for a child his age, Yuffie held him close. Vincent tried to hold back the tears, but he couldn't that well, he cried in fear and in embarassment, he let himself get lost and then ran away from so called enimies.
"Vinnie, it's ok. We're almost to my house, calm down, don't cry anymore." She comforted, Vincent then felt a little safer, and a little better by the woman who held him so close. He didn't understand why he felt so safe, but he did and didn't resist it. He looked up at her, his small hands clenched some of her shirt. He put his head on her shoulder, and looked off.
It was really dark around Wutai, and for a child his age, dare he say it, scary a little bit. He looked up at the moon it was a full moon, and the water glimmered in the summer night. It was also rather pretty besides scary, but that was because someone was near, he wasn't alone, he wasn't scared anymore.
"There feal better?" asked Yuffie holding Vincent in her arms. Vincent looked up at her to say yes or no, but nothing came out of his voice, he was still to embarassed to talk to her. He looked down and a crimson blush went across his face. "Oh it's ok. You wanna wait with me outside a bit for you to calm down? No one's mad at you, Vinnie." said Yuffie, this made Vincent even more uneasy. What were they furious, worried, or were they laughing at him? That went through his head, he couldn't believe they weren't mad at him, even after how he kept them up till midnight.
"You know it's kinda funny." said Yuffie.
"W...What is..?" said Vincent.
"How your clinging to me like I'm your mother. It's just kinda odd ya think?" asked Yuffie.
"I don't mean to be..." said Vincent.
"Ah, don't worry your little head off. S'alright, anyway, your just a kid now." said Yuffie. "A very young kid."
"Why dwell on that?" asked Vincent to the fact she called him "little", and "kid".
"Well you are right now. And another thing... How'd you get through town without tripping over that, now oversized cape of yours."
"Well, I'm not clumbsey, and I have perfect deff percweption." said Vincent. Yuffie just sniggered. "What?"
"You messed up. It's deph perception, and well, Vinnie.... I think we need to get you new clothes." said Yuffie.
"Why???" aske dVincent this time in the whiney voice most little kids have when they pout or have been crying.
"Well, your clothes are far to big for you now and we need to get you new ones." said Yuffie. They finally got back to her house. Cloud and the rest were rather worried, all except for Red who was still knocked out from Vincent's sleep spell.
"Yuffie! You found him!" said Tifa running up to the couple. "Vincent are you ok?!"
"I'm.... Fine.... Just... A little startled." he said in reply.
"Startled my foot! Your the one who knocked Red out and ran into me in the alley and ran screaming your head off.!" said Cid.
"T-that was...." said Vincent, then yet again went back to a blush, he looked down in embarassment again, and kinda when silent.
"Cid!" said both Yuffie and Tifa glareing back at him.
"What it's true, Cloud was with me to." said Cid.
"Oh... He was the kid who nearly made you piss in your pants Cid?" asked Cloud.
"Shut up!" said Cid. Now he was the one embarassed. Cloud kinda just laughed and looked back at Yuffie and Vincent.
"So he's ok right?" asked Cloud.
"Yeah he's fine." said Yuffie.
"Well we're going to the hotel, you take care of ,Vincent, Yuffie." said Tifa as they walked off dragging Red.
"Well i guess it's just you and me." said Yuffie.
"I guess. I'm tired." murmured Vincent sleepily to Yuffie and he rested up against her again. He yawned and closed his eyes. Then he felt warm, a wet like warm around his body. Sothing smelt nice, he wasn't sure what, he felt someone message his head, and then he felt something cottony and warm cover him. He opened his eyes, he was in the bathroom, he was in the bath, and Yuffie was holding him.
"Yuffie?! What're we doing?!" asked Vincent in a start. They both were in the bath tub and she was batheing him.
"Well you and I were dirty and I thought that maybe while you slept I could kill two birds with one stone." she replied.
"Wh-what?! You mean, you gave me and you a bath?!" asked Vincent this time he was turning pink, with emarassment.
"Uh... Well... Yes." smiled Yuffie. "Well let's get to bed!"
"Uh wha, wait. Uh... T-thanks.." said Vincent slowly.
"S'okay It's my respocibility anyway!" said Yuffie as she laid him on the bed, his shirt was more than enough to cover him. He cuddled up against the woman and fell asleep. Yuffie held him close. And she said.
"I love you Vinnie....." and she fell into a dreamy slumber.
