R & R longer note at the end

The two men looked down at the two plates with skeptical looks mirrored on their faces, with valentine's day just around the corner Cloud and Vincent had decided to make their own homemade chocolates for the women in their lives however their attempts had been unique at best. Their first attempt had ended in failure after Vincent had somehow managed to burn the water, the second attempt Cloud had accidently mixed up the salt and sugar. After a while they had managed to successfully create something, however what they had created hadn't been the result they had expected.

"So you want to taste test it?" Cloud asked as he stared at the plate in front of him, Vincent slowly shook his head staring at the single piece of charcoal before his eyes returned to his own plate seeing the pile of ashes that was once chocolate.

"Perhaps it's time to request some help?" Vincent suggested as Cloud nodded taking out his phone he flicked through his contact list before he finally arrived on a number, he hesitated for a moment before clicking the call button placing the phone to his ear. Vincent watched as he heard the monotone replies of Cloud wondering who he had called before he finally clicked the phone off placing it back down before letting out a huge sigh, with a confused look on his face the black haired man could only wonder who it was the blonde had called.

After a few minutes of waiting the doorbell rang as Vincent went to answer it curious on who it was that Cloud had recruited in their cause, answering the door the tall man's lips curled into a frown realising just who it was Cloud had called.

"Well. If your goal was to create some new kind of weapon, then good job" the woman said as she looked at the two men's attempts, she was wearing fake glasses with a white blouse and black skirt with high heels "If you wanted to create some chocolate for your loved ones then, it's a failure". Vincent turned to Cloud with a murderous look on his face wondering what would possess him to have called that number, Cloud sighed almost asking himself the same question.

"Before we begin" Cloud said ignoring the glaring Vincent "What's with the outfit Jessie?"

"What? If I'm going to teach you two, then I need to be a teacher" Jessie said with a look between smug and teasing as she tilted the glasses down her nose "Don't I look like the perfect teacher?"

"Can we just get on with this?" Vincent asked as he aimed a swift kick into the back of Cloud's leg who grunted in pain, the blonde glared as he shook his leg trying to clear the throbbing pain as he continued to look at the woman pretending to be their teacher in front of them.

"First of all, do you guys even have any chocolate left?" Jessie asked as her brown eyes rolled over the empty packets strewn across the kitchen counters, without a word Cloud limped over to the fridge removing the remaining six packets of chocolate laying them on the counter. Jessie sighed as she rubbed the bridge of her nose starting to question why she had decided to help them, taking a deep breath she composed herself once more.

"Ok, we will have to do this in one shot" she said as her expression changed from her usual playful look to one of seriousness as the two men felt a chill run up their spines nodding slowly "First off, set the water on to boil since it takes some time. Next break up the chocolate into a bowl, best to use a knife to get them all even. Once the water is boiled and the chocolate is cut carefully place the bowl over the water to melt it, staring it every so often so it doesn't stick". With the instructions of Jessie ringing in their ears the two men set to work both hoping they would manage to be successful this time.

The three stared at the two plates in front of them feeling accomplished in their goals, both where in the shape of hearts with a white chocolate writing along the front carefully the two men placed them in the fridge to set as they closed the door they turned to face a smiling teacher.

"You've both come so far" she said pretending to wipe away tears as she wrapped an arm around each of them in a hug "You're the best students a teacher could ask for". With a collective sigh the two pat her back softly, slowly and seemingly reluctantly she pulled away with a small smile and nod she turned to leave.

"Hang on" Cloud called out as Jessie turned curious seeing the two holding out small wrapped packages "Your payment". With a laugh Jessie took the packages before waving wishing the two look she left the apartment closing the door behind her, she carefully opened the packaging seeing two smaller chocolate hearts with her initials on them.

Vincent stood outside Tifa's apartment holding the package as he slowly raised his hand knocking on the door, after a few moments the door opened as Tifa's lips curled into a smile seeing her boyfriend standing in the doorway standing on her tip toes kissing his lips as she stepped to the side allowing him in.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" Tifa asked as she closed the door seeing the taller man who looked a little nervous before bringing his hands in front of him holding out the present, Tifa's eyes fell on the red and pink packaging before taking it carefully opening the packaging her eyes widened in surprise as she read the message written on the chocolate heart:

To the most beautiful girl in the world

I love you Tifa and always will

Vincent

Tifa's smile widened as she carefully placed the box down on the cupboard before pulling Vincent closer into an embrace.

Cloud sat on a nearby bench in the sector six slums as his girlfriend tended to the flowers, occasionally she would peer over her shoulder toward the blonde wondering if he had forgotten what was special about today she let out a silent sigh maybe a little teasing would help him remember.

"You know Cloud" Aerith began as the blonde looked over "Today is an amazing day for us".

"Right" Cloud said as he leaned his head back against the bench "I hadn't noticed". Carefully picking a flower Aerith stood up turning around carrying the yellow flower over to him with a smile, Cloud looked down wondering what Aerith was planning this time.

"Today happens to share the same last name as our friend" she said holding the flower out "You know what it is right?" Cloud leaned forward as he reached out to the take the flower before Aerith playfully pulled it out of his reach with a small smile, with a sigh Cloud stood removing the red and pink package he had brought with him from his bag handing it over.

Aerith's eyes widened a little in surprise assuming he had forgotten before taking it replacing it with the flower she had picked slowly she opened the package her smile forming as she read the sweet message on written on the chocolate heart:

For all the happiness you have given me

Hope this makes up for me forgetting last year

Love Cloud

Aerith smiled as she placed the package down on the bench pulling Cloud into a hug as she quickly stole a kiss with a smile happy to be with the man she loves.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. Now that's out of the way I wondered to myself "could Vincent and Cloud actually make Valentine's chocolates successfully?" the answer came out as a resounding no. So what happens when your bad at something? You find someone who is good at it to help you, enter the teasing and lovely lady Jessie who for some reason thought it would be a fun idea to really tease our boys with a sexy teacher get up

Truthfully I was going to do a Tifa and Aerith side of this as well with them making chocolates for the boys but the idea's really didn't come to me for it and then I ran out of time to get it done for today so maybe next year we'll do a Tifa and Aerith one? Who knows, anyway I hope you all enjoyed and see you all next time
