A/N: At first, this was supposed to be something lighthearted, but then I forgot what I wanted to write about...and remembered it again after I wrote this already. XD Enjoy! :)


7. The Person who Loves her

The silence in the room was unbearable. Leon hadn't talked to her for… - Yuffie glanced at her alarm clock – whoa, really long. But it was just a matter of time before the time bomb would explode.

"Ouch! Leon, you're hurting me!"

Right then, Leon's razor sharp eyes, even colder than his hands that were taking care of the bleeding wound on her arm, bore right through her soul.

"If you ever jump in front of me during a battle, I'll be the one who-" he started, his voice low.

"Don't act like you care! You're the one who's been ignoring me for the past wee-"

"Damn it, don't you get it? I already lost her. I can't afford losing you, too!"

He had said it before he could stop himself. Leon didn't look at her and turned around, leaving the room and shutting the door behind him with a loud BAM!

For the third time in her life, Yuffie was at a loss of words. For the first time in his life, Leon had used Yuffie and Rinoa in the same context.

Was she dreaming or did Leon practically declare his love for her right in front of her?


A/N: Hope you liked it. Next chapter: Yuffie's dating someone again, and Leon's being...well, not his usual self, right? It will have more humor... I hope. Reviews are appreciated. :)
