Ok, so, here it is. I think this and another chapter and I will be done. This one is pure fluff and so, I felt like it.
She opened her eyes slowly. It still was very dark, the sky was covered with thick grey clouds, and the raindrops were falling heavily in the window. She smiled. She loved rain, she loved to jump under the rain and sing happy songs, or when she was sad or reflective, just sit under the rain and let her thoughts soar around with the raindrops. She pulled the covers of her body as she sat up in her bed. She then noticed that she was still wearing the same clothes than earlier, and her mind soon recalled all the previous events. She whirled her right foot around a little bit, it was healed, she smiled as she blushed lightly, taking her stuffed cow in her arms, she looked at Vincent, he was asleep, pressing the covers against his bare chest, he was only wearing a pair of black pants, his feet were also bare. She walked closer to him, his eyebrows were twitched and she assumed he might be having a nightmare; she placed the little cow against his chest and softly whispered.
"Sleep tight Vinnie" She caressed his black long hair "Cow eats nightmares" She said giggling, she placed the cow next to Vincent's head, and she jumped quickly, and, with the grace of a ninja, without any noise, walked out of the house.
She was soon found standing in the pouring rain; she looked up at the sky. And soon enough was bouncing around the front yard of the 7th Heaven.
"Mom, I wish you could see me now, how happy I feel, I hope it won't fade away" She giggled as she keep bouncing and jumping and just acting silly, after all, she was happy and nothing could change that. "I love you Vinnie, I love you Vincent, I love you Vincent Valentine" Her mind kept repeating this words as she kept dancing around under the rain.
Rain has different effects on different people, some people feel depressed and sink in memoirs, some others feel angry at the rain, for falling and ruining a perfect sunny day, others just sit and pondered around their lives, and for a happy ninja, rain could wash away sadness while falling on her head and running through her whole body, the chilling freeze will soon fade away to a warm feeling, as soon as she walked inside, change clothes and wrap herself in a warm quilt, while drinking a warm liquid like hot coco, or sweet coffee with cream. For now, she'll just keep on bouncing and dancing and giggling until all the past sadness had washed away and her newfound happiness filled her mind and calm her senses.
A few minutes before, in a warm dry bedroom, a dark-haired man was sleeping; in his light sleep he could hear the shift of clothes, a soft sigh and approaching steps, a soft murmur whispered slowly.
"Sleep tight Vinnie" A soft hand waving its way trough Vincent's black bangs. "Cow eats nightmares" A faint giggle, and a soft plush feeling against his cheek, nose and lips. He was sleeping on his side and having one arm as a extra pillow, he snuggled the plush toy against himself, then waking up, he knew she had left the room, he took the small plush cow in his hands, looking at it carefully, it had a happy grin on its face, and his eyes were staring at him, a lost stare
"Of course it is lost" He thought looking at the toy "It is a mere toy" He held it and pressed it softly against his nose, it smelled like her. He inhaled sharply and softly smiled. He looked around the room and then took a plain black button shirt, buttoned it up quickly, and, digging around his suitcase, he found his red cloak.
He sat on the bed and took a gaze trough the window, he found himself smiling, a little smile though, when his eyes encountered a small figure hopping, bouncing, whirling, dancing, and smiling under the rain.
"I'm so happy" She singed softly under the rain. Her song was neither coherent nor known, but it was somewhat tuned, and, well, she was happy. "'Cuz Vinnie loves me too" She kept singing "I'm so happy, 'cuz Vinnie loves me too, I'm so happy, 'cuz Vinnie loves me too, singing happy I say loudly, Vinnie loves me too."
She giggled, and she found out that her breath had gone away after all the singing. She sat down on the muddy floor.
"I'm not sure if you love me too… But damn, it feels good to sing it" She said idly. Soon, the raindrops stopped falling over her head. She stood still, and straightened her back.
"Huh? Hey!" She could still hear and see the rain falling in front of her. She looked up, there was no possible way the rain wouldn't fall over only her. Familiar crimson over her head, she knew that fabric.
"Maybe you could care for asking before saying that so loudly." Vincent stated, looking down at her elfin form. "Just maybe" He said then, recalling that the waiflike ninja did not care for such things.
"Vinnie!" She said jumping to meet the crimson gaze, and to tightly embrace the tall man, his cheeks now matched the color of his eyes.
"You are cold" He said softly, wrapping the still-somewhat-dry cloak around her. "Let's go inside." He said pulling her wrist softly but firmly towards the house.
"Come on Vinnie!" She said pulling the man towards her again "Enjoy the rain! See? It falls on your head and then runs down your face, and soaks you up completely." Vincent closed his eyes under the girl's grasp, he could feel the rain. It had been a while since he felt the rain, like that, but it was true, it felt nice. They both stood like that for a while. Yuffie had her hands in Vincent's forearms, and he was cupping her shoulders in his hands, both had their eyes closed, facing upwards and both with a slight smile in their faces.
"See? It's not so cold anymore." She whispered slowly, looking at Vincent's face, he looked down at her; he almost, almost, chuckled at how much he had to tilt his head to look down to see her eyes. She was right; it was not so cold anymore. He was not so cold inside, not anymore.
"Not since I am with you– Did I just think that, or that just blurted out?"
He noticed he had said that out loud. She was looking at his eyes, stormy silver dissolving in scarlet crimson, he was overwhelmed by how his gaze seemed to melt inside her eyes, and truthfully, he was somewhat scared and pleased about that. Before he could retract his words she started talking, her words were a blur in his mind before he could decipher them right, and her head was looking somewhere else, but her gaze not meeting his eyes.
"Vinnie… I… I don't care if you see me as a little sister or as a woman, or, or, well... Damn Vincent, I love you so much, I love you like I could not love anyone else in this dusty ol' planet, I love you so freaking much it scares the hell outta me, but it is a good feeling, and, and…" He felt her shivering under his hands, the rain was cold and she wasn't wearing enough clothing, but she wasn't shivering because of the cold, precisely. "And I love you." She said finally, looking down at her bare feet. Were his feet also bare? Then, like a lightening, her face looked up at him. He was lightly giggling. Yuffie had never heard him giggle, but soon his giggles were a laugh, and it was a perfect laugh, so deep, so meaningful and so longed for.
"Are you laughing at me, you big meanie?" She said poking his chest. She was a little bit scared. She had just confessed her true feelings and he was… Laughing? For as much as she had wanted to hear Vincent's laugh, it was still a little bit odd and, just a little wrong timed. Then, his arms wrapped her softly, and pressed her tightly against his strong chest, she gasped lightly but before she could ask any questions he started talking in his most tender voice.
"I am not laughing at you." He stated, while still pressing her dainty figure against his strong tall one. "How could I look at you as my little sister?" He asked, gently stroking at her now wet hair.
"Well I'm a…–"
"When I am so fondly in love with you?" He asked, cutting her words off "So intensely, and desperately in love with you." He stated. "I think that having such feelings, as the ones that I have for you, towards little sisters will not be… proper, and fairly illegal."
"Vinnie!" She squealed, jumping slightly "Oh my God! Am I dreaming? Please, tell me I'm not dreaming!" She said pressing her head softly with her both hands "Pinch me or something!" She was still squealing.
"I think it will be better if I do this" He bowed slowly, until his wet lips brushed softly against hers. His eyes were shut closed and her eyes were wide in surprise, but not for too long.
She pressed her eyes closed, as her hands wrapped around his neck, and soon enough, the kiss deepened as the gunman pressed his lips a little bit more against hers, she answered his kiss right away, standing in her tiptoes, she had waited for this moment for too long, and she was not going to waist it, not a single little bit. She pressed her hands against his shoulders to pull herself up, wrapping her slender legs around his waist, his hands pressed her waist hardly so she wouldn't fall, but they both fell backwards, Vincent landing almost painfully in his back, then Yuffie started to giggle, her teeth clattered from the cold, but she was warm inside. His hand was caressing her cheek tenderly.
"Let's go back inside?" He asked, and she nodded, as he started to pull himself back up, she pressed his shoulders to the ground again.
"Not just yet" She said, she leaned down and stared at Vincent's eyes, pure newly found devotion. Maybe it had been in there for quite long time now; she just couldn't see it until he confessed it. She pressed her feather-like lips lightly against his, teasing him softly, as she always would. His hands clasped her shoulders as he pulled her into a breathtaking kiss, her lips parting slowly, he opened his eyes a little bit surprised, he wasn't sure about sliding his tongue inside her mouth just yet, he felt like she was still not ready to... --- Ok, her tongue just had slide inside his own mouth.
"Uh! Sorry Vinnie" She pulled away with her cheeks as red as two tomatoes, quickly, as she noticed Vincent being sligt "I… I wasn't thinking and…" And then he pressed himself against her once again, his tongue licking softly her lower lip, and gaining entrance to her little mouth. After kissing each other passionately, he stared at her, they were both breathless, shivering, and completely drenched up.
"Can we go inside now?" She asked slowly. He nodded. As they both walked inside the house he then noticed the delicated hand wrapping his own, fingers intertwined. As he look down, he noticed also that he was all filled with mud, and that also was she.
"You need to take a shower." Vincent said, slowly touching the mud in the girl's cheek.
"You do to! I go first!" She said running towards the stairs, not before placing a soft kiss on Vincent's cheek.
Vincent walked inside the room, discarding his wet and dirty clothes, picking them up, along with Yuffie's ones, and placing them on a basket, in the corner of the room, where all the dirty clothes where laying, waiting for Tifa to come and wash them. Then he wrapped a white towel around his waist, grabbing some clean clothing, and waited for Yuffie to come out of the shower, sitting on the bed.
Maybe, his endless nightmare wasn't a nightmare anymore, but a dream.
And maybe, just maybe, his dream was coming true.
Ok, so, yea, I learned that song when I was little, but it didn't went like that [Of course, lol it said something like "I'm so happy, 'cause Jesus set me free" ... uhm, lol. But I liked it and it was cute so, xD!
Review please, if you'd be that kind °w°!
