Chapter Fifteen: The Morning After

Speedy Gonzalez is here! With a second update within twenty-four hours! Hooray for me! And you all, too! I'm so proud of myself! So… On with the show, then? Okay… On with the show!

Yuffie woke up early on purpose, so Vincent might have forgotten that she had come in and… well… Slept with him. That sounds dirty… She thought, repressing a grin and wondering what Reno would think of that. She giggled silently to herself, trying-stealthily as possible- to move Vincent's arm from her waist and crawl out of his small bed quietly.

She went back to her room, to find nothing had been touched. Good. She sat on her bed and pulled her bag up on the mattress beside her. She picked up an outfit , and got dressed. She then hurriedly stabbed herself with another tranquilizer because she heard a knock on her door. Grabbing her brush, she answered it.

Yuffie opened the door, and it was Vincent. He looked at her, raising an eyebrow. She had one hand on the doorknob while the other hand was on the handle of a brush that was frozen in her hair…Or was it stuck? She smiled sheepishly at him, murmuring.

"Heheh… It's stuck in my hair…" She smiled.

"Would you like some help?" He asked, tilting his head ever so slightly.

"Yeah… Thanks… Morning, Vinnie."

"Good morning, dearest." She grinned at her nickname.

"Hey, Vinnie?"

"Yes?"

"Be gentle…" She said quietly.

"Of course." He said, because he wouldn't dare hurt his ninja. Not to mention how loud she would scream at him if he did. So, he set to work on unknotting the brush from her hair. With that small amount of hair, he was unsure how a brush could even get stuck in it, but he didn't ask.

"How did you sleep, Yuffie?"

"Pretty good. And you?"

"Alright.. After a while…"

"Good… Did you have any dreams?"

"Just one. A nightmare."

"Really? About what?" She asked, hoping to figure out what he had been screaming about last night.

"A wedding." He said, his voice sounding distant, but she couldn't see his face.

"Whose?"

"Yours."

"Why is that so bad?" She asked him.

"It was to a suitor."

"Oh. Ick."

"Yes."

"Go on."

"It's out." he said.

"Huh? Oh… Thanks, Vinnie. Well… Was there any more?" She asked.

"No… I believe I woke up… And it was over."

"Do you remember how it ended?"

"You told me you weren't going to leave me."

"Oh, good." She said, turning to look at him. He was smiling ever so slightly, his eyes only half open. She grinned at him. "Are you still tired?"

He opened his eyes to look at her. "No…" And he blinked the sleep out of his eyes.

"Yes you are. You're allowed to sleep, Vinnie…" She said.

"I do not require much sleep, Yuffie."

"Yes, but you're tired." She retorted, pushing him down to sit on her bed. She perched herself on his lap. "You're allowed to sleep." She said again.

"I do not desire sleep." He said back.

"I don't care." She narrowed her eyes at him.

"I have something more important on my mind."

"Oh, really? An what might that-" He silenced her with his lips.

And that was the only answer she needed.

All done! I love fluff! That was pretty Yuffidorable, huh? Hmmmmm… I guess that's it for now…

Til later, dear friends….. XlittlexninjaX24
