Crushed Dreams and Jin

*Present*

I stepped out into the Night light of the moon from the Shinra movie theater with many thoughts in my head; most of them were me wanting some rum. She was with me, clutching my arm like I might lose it if she let go. We walked through the streets talking and telling jokes and having the best time. The night was cold according the weather channel, but I didn't notice. We kept walking; as we kept walking I kept telling jokes to keep her laughing. She didn't stop (And I know most of them were not funny) the wind started to pick up on us as we kept walking. She started to shiver as she clutched my arm harder.

"Yuffie, why don't you take my jacket yo? It's too cold for you to be out here without one yo." I pulled of my Turk-ish blue jacket and handed it to her; she paused for a minute and finally responded. "Are you sure? Won't you get in trouble for not having it or something?" I looked over at her for a minute or two? Can I? I don't know… "Uhh, well I think I can handle what happens if I don't have it for a while." She didn't move at all. I moved behind her and rapped the turk blue jacket around her. The shivering stopped and she continued holding my arm.

"Thank you."

I heard her say. She was never as quiet as of right now. Yuffie, being herself, was never the type to clam up in front of anyone.

"Your…welcome…yo?"

What's going on? I'm clamming up too? Yuffie was one of my best friends, and all of sudden I choke on my own words when I'm around her? This makes no sense!

We didn't talk much. We held hands. Her hand was so soft and warm. What kind of lotion does she use? We walked past the old building that was bombed not too long ago. Yuffie buried her face in my sleeve. I guess it was still hard on her to see that place go up in flames. We passed the place where Rude goes to be emo. (Yeah, if you didn't know, he's really emo. Just saying.) He wasn't there. He must be at home sleeping. I like sleep! I wonder if Yuffie does too.

"Hey Yuffie? Do you like sleep yo?" I can't believe I just asked that. I'm really as stupid as everyone says. "Hmmm, well, I guess yeah. I mean everyone needs to sleep to gain some of the energy that you lost, and it's a good way to be lazy." She smiled. Why does she always make me look un-retarded? She always knows what to say in order to make me look smarter than I really am. What's her secret? I wanna know.

I walked her back to Cid's house to say goodnight. She was still clinging to my arm. What was with her and my arm? She released it and walked up the steps. "Hey Reno? Do you like sleep too?" she asked.

She didn't turn around at all. She stood right in her path and didn't move at all. "Well, yeah, Sleep is good yo." I said. I'm so stupid. I felt something in my stomach, something icky. Then I burped. I covered my mouth in shell shock. "OH my god, I'm so sorry" My burp tasted like Rum mixed with a little bit of tacos. What's a taco?

Yuffie looked at me and laughed. Why? I don't know. "That's nothing, Get a load of this!" And she burped too. It was louder than mine. NO FAIR! We both laughed to break the ice, but it was still funny. Yuffie walked down the stairs to where we were both on flat ground. She stood up to where we were both eye level and kissed me. (TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!) I pulled her in to me with the last feeling of my arm left. We were intertwined. My eyes shut and she hugged my torso. It was dark and no one could see us. Thank god. She released me from the hug and said goodnight. She walked in the building and waved. When I knew she couldn't see me, I congaed up the block to where I lived.

I walked to my room and changed out of my uniform. I might get in trouble for not having my jacket, but at this very moment I don't care. I literally hopped into my bed and put my hands behind my head thinking about what happened tonight. "I finally kissed Yuffie yo." I stayed awake for a while. I couldn't sleep because I was happy that I didn't go to the bar. Shocking right? I hope I see Yuffie tomorrow, I want to return the favor.
