An update! I've been busy with Dirge of Cerberus lately, so sorry for no updates. I've got a fun chapter after this one, which includes more Rufus and then fun for Tseng and the girls.
I don't own FF VII or any of her characters. I just use them for my own amusement.
The morning sun woke Tseng up, making him blink several times to adjust his sight. He was oddly comfortable, even if he was laying on his back. An odd weight was on his chest, shoulder and leg. He was trying to think of why this was when he found his hands were wrapped around a very female body. A body whose shirt was ridding up and allowing his hands to rest on skin rather than fabric. A mass of black hair confirmed that it was Yuffie in bed with him, her laying on half of his body.
He felt no obligation to move her, so he looked around the room. It was the room from last night, the pizza box and pornography testament to the nights activities. When he looked to his right, however, he found both Tifa and Elena sleeping. In the same bed he and Yuffie were in. All of them were under the covers, which, thankfully were still attached to the two beds so they weren't in any danger of unwanted bodily contact.
Tseng was almost afraid to move, lest he wake one of the women. It was unfortunate that the sun was painfully shining in his eyes even with them closed. He finally couldn't stand it any more and carefully got out of the bed, gently setting Yuffie down on the mattress. After glaring outside for a moment, he shut the curtains, blocking the suns rays. A small yet triumphant smile was on his face from mucking up the sun's plans on waking the world early.
He nearly yelped when arms wrapped around him from behind and a head came to rest against his back.
"Tseng, why're you up..." The voice, slurred with sleep, belonged to Yuffie. Tseng sighed with relief and placed a hand over hers without even thinking about it.
"The sun was in my eyes."
"Oh. It got cold when you left."
"It would be warmer under the blankets than out here, Yuffie."
"Wanna stay with you." Tseng smiled at her childish words, then turned around. He steered Yuffie backwards to 'their' side of the bed because she refused to let go of him to be turned around. Once under the covers, Tseng found her once again laying on half of his body. The only difference was that her hair was now in his face. He brushed it aside before settling down and letting sleep overtake him again.
-----Later that morning-----
"TSENG!" Tseng looked up from his paper, sipping his coffee. Reno was stalking over to him, most of the others following behind him. "TSENG, I DEMAND YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!"
"There are people trying to eat, Reno. Quiet down."
"Fine! But I want details." Reno took a seat in front of him, the others fanning out around them, taking chairs from nearby tables. The servers from the inn glared at them but said nothing. No one argued with people that carried that many weapons.
"No."
"WHAT! It's against the Men's Code to keep secrets like that!"
"That's something you made up, Reno, and lower your voice."
"I don't care!"
"Reno."
"What!"
"Go away. I can't enjoy my coffee with you yelling like that." Tseng was about to take another sip of the hot liquid when Reno yanked it out of his hands and slammed it on the table. He glared at the red-haired man before him, thinking about scalping him.
"Your coffee be damned!"
"Reno. I'm not telling you what happened. Get over it."
"But-"
"But nothing. Even if I wanted to tell you, do you have any idea what those women would do to me if I told?" Reno shook his head 'no' and was about to say something but Tseng cut him off. "Part of the threat includes a bikini waxing, and another part includes itching powder in underwear. Not to mention an ear of corn. Think about what that would be used for."
Every face in the group became frightened, and for good reason.
"Good morning, everyone!" The others turned to look at Tifa, Yuffie and Elena with the same frightened expressions. "What?" Tifa asked. Yuffie narrowed her eyes at the men before her. She made her way over to Tseng and wrapped an arm around his neck while leaning over so that her eyes were even with his.
"You aren't trying to pry anything out of Tseng, are you?" Tseng kept his face calm while sipping his coffee. He was very careful to keep it from dripping on Yuffie's arm.
"NO!" Everyone stood up at the same moment, chairs making a racket as the slid back on the floor. Most of them blabbed something about 'going out for breakfast' and ran. Reeve managed to walk out of the room with a semblance of dignity before breaking for the door of the inn.
"Is that how you defeated Sephiroth?" Tseng asked, looking up at Yuffie curiously.
"Nah. That was just a good old fashioned ass-kicking. What's for breakfast?"
"I haven't ordered anything yet."
"Ohhh, let's get crepes!" Elena said, looking at the menu. Tifa and Yuffie both squealed at the idea but Tseng cringed slightly. "You don't like crepes, Tseng?"
"No. I'll have an omelet."
"Your loss. Crepes are so yummy!" Elena clapped her hands together with excitement.
"I hope all of you enjoy them." Tseng said, having more coffee. "Why do women love crepes so much?"
"It has carbs, fruit, sugar and whipped cream. That's why." Tifa said, ticking each ingredient off on a finger. Tseng blinked at her rationalization.
"That doesn't explain why women love them."
"Well, why do men love beer?"
"Because it's beer."
"Women love crepes because they're crepes."
"That's a good point."
"Hey, Tseng?" Yuffie asked. She continued when he looked over at her. "Were the guys trying to get you to talk?"
"Yes. But I know better than to say anything."
"We do think of great threats, don't we?"
"Yes, but that's not the reason I didn't tell them."
"Then why?"
"I enjoyed myself last night, even though I was frightened half of the time."
"Aww, really Tseng? You really had a good time?" The three women were all looking at him with eyes so wide he couldn't help but smile.
"Yes."
"You're sure it isn't all just waking up with Yuffie half naked next to you?" Tifa asked.
"That has something to do with it."
"Hey, I had a great thought in the shower this morning." Yuffie said, earning giggles from her friends and a grin from Tseng.
"If it included me in there with you, I'm all ears." He said.
"No, but that can easily happen." Tseng blinked at her before drinking more coffee. "Do you and Elena think you can get Rufus to go to The Lotus back in Edge sometime?" He and Elena looked at each other, nodding.
"Why?"
"There's someone I want him to meet from Wutai. I'll bring him along next time I'm there. We can leave Rude and Reno to babysit them after that."
"Alright. I take it I'm going somewhere with the three of you, then?" The women nodded, smiling. They were about to tell him where when the waiter arrived and took their orders. "So where, exactly, are we going to go in Edge?"
"A sports bar called Humdinger's."
"So long as it isn't a gay sports bar."
"But, you get gay men looking at you no matter where you are, Tseng. Women aren't the only ones who think you're hot. Don't worry about them, though, I'll beat them off with a golf putter." Yuffie said, winking at him.
"If they're women, I'd much rather watch you wrestle them to the ground."
"I'll make sure I'm wearing something skimpy, then."
"A mini-skirt would be nice."
WOO! I'm working on the next chapter, so look for it sometime in the next week or so. Hope you enjoyed it!
