Chapter Eleven: Telling Tifa

AN-Uhm.. .In case you didn't catch it the past ten times, I don't own Final Fantasy VII. And Kuro gets tea and crumpets! Yay! Thanks for being awesome, Kuro! 3 On with the show! J

"Morning Yuffs. Nice to have you back in the real world. Tifa greeted me.

"Good to be back, Teef." Yuffie said with a grin.

"Where's Vincent?" Tifa quirked an eyebrow.

"He's upstairs."

"What?"

"Taking a shower." Yuffie said nonchalantly, heading to the fridge.

"Really?"

"Mhm" Yuffie mumbled from behind the fridge door.

"So, I take it you two made up?" Yuffie craned her head over the fridge door.

"Come again?"

"I take it you two made up?"

"Made up? Oh, eww, Teef! That's gross! No!" She laughed, turning back to the omelet she was cooking. ", Teef! I can't even believe you'd even think that! Eww! Besides… He's too much of a gentleman." She mumbled.

"So nothing happened?"

"Nope."

" Nothing?" She waggled her eyebrows.

"Nothing." Yuffie emphasized.

"Morning, Tifa."

Tifa turned around sharply. "Vincent! Morning! Coffee is on the counter."

Vincent looked around. "Good morning, Yuffie." He said softly, sliding his arms around her waist.

"Morning, Vinnie." She smiled. "Y'know, I never really pinned you as the PDA type." She whispered, giggling.

"'S only Tifa."

"Yes. But Tifa's mouth is almost as big as her….. Brains." She giggled again.

"What's that?" Tifa asked sharply.

"And her brains are huge!" Yuffie lapsed into hopeless giggles, trying not to fall over. She swore she heard Vinnie chuckle a little, too. that's the spirit, Vinnie. She thought.

"Yuffie." Vincent said, peering over his book at her.

"Yes, Vinnie?" She asked with a grin.

"Would you like to go to Nibelheim with me? Just for a few days. I need to check on the mansion."

Woah. The whole sentences! Progress…

"Why Nibel? Can't we go to Costa or something?" She wiggled under his book into his lap, batting her eyelashes. This made Vincent shift uncomfortably.

"The mansion isn't in Costa." He said tensely.

"But can't we go? On the way? Or something?" She twirled a lock of his hair on her little finger. He glowered at her. She grinned mischievously at him

"Maybe." He said.

"Yay! Thank you, Vinnie!" She grinned.

"Cid will be here for us in an hour."

"Airship?" She groaned. "Yuck."

"It's the only way."

"I know, I know. Will you hold my hair back?"

"Hmm?"

"If I puke?"

"Of course. Be sure not to forget your tranquilizers." He ran his fingers through her hair, end to end.

"Mhm." She said. "Stop distracting me." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Keep that in your mouth."

"Vinnie! Did you just make a joke?" She jumped a little. She climbed off of his lap, and kissed him on the cheek.

"What was that for?"

"For making a joke. Congrats. And I'm going to pack now." She grinned, heading upstairs.

Leviathan have mercy on me. Vincent thought as he watched her walk away. And Chaos laughed at him.
