Midnight Sun
It feels so strange and I'm not really sure why… I've sat on the roof of this old manor, my legs swinging off the side, so many times before yet tonight it feels oddly different. Is it because you are here with me, Vinnie? Not two feet from me do you sat upon this icy roof with me yet you are not with me… I long to say something to you; something that sounds like me; something goofy or silly, just to let you know I'm alright… But I'm not alright; tomorrow I leave for Wutai to be married and I'll probably never get to see you ever again. I'm only eighteen and a half; I'm too young to be queen and I just plain don't want to right now…! I know I have a promise to keep to my mother but I'm not ready, not yet… What if I make a mistake and it destroys my home or what if I'm married to horrible that only treats me like some object that he thinks he own. No, I want to be free like the little birds that flutter through my homeland… I want to be free to be with someone who I want; someone like you, Vincent Valentine… I see you know as you are sitting close to me; the midnight sun shines brilliantly off your raven hair and it's rays make your almost snow colored skin glow. You are the most beautiful of them all; more beautiful than the highest level of summon Materia, more beautiful than all the treasure anywhere. A sob escapes my throat as I sit here in the freezing cold, my thoughts of you and how I can never be with you are what has brought them on. Oh, dear, oh no! You have heard my pitiful cry and I turn my face from you. I am scared that if I were to look into those crimson pools that are your eyes the tears will finally escape from my eyes. I place my palms on the shingles of the roof that are between my legs, shivering as I try to look at anything but you, my beautiful Vincent… I shiver and I shiver, but I cannot tell if it's from being so very cold or from being so very lonely without your touch. I love you so very much but I just can't muster up the courage to tell you, plus, you'll just be ripped away from my longing hands come tomorrow or worse yet, what if you do not return my love…
"Yuffie, are you alright? Are you cold?" Your voice, it is flat, emotionless and deep yet it only comforts me and makes be long for you that much more. I nod my head to tell that I'm cold; you wait a few seconds then do the unexpected! You reach over, taking hold of me and pull onto your lap; I can feel the warmth from the strong embrace of your long arms. That warmth, that awesome warmth that I can feel radiate from your body finally breaks the dam; the hot tears pour from my eyes slip down my pale cheeks. I try to hide from you by putting my hands over my face and try to suppress the sobs but they quickly turn into hiccups, making me gasp for air. Now you do even more startling stuff; with your golden claws you gently pull my hands away from face and lean down your head, then you begin to kiss away the tears. A deep blush spreads across my face as I'm still gasping for breath but I'm not if it's from the hiccups or from your strange actions… You begin to lean back on the roof, making me sprawl out on top of you; our stomachs pressing together as you begin rub away the tears with a gloved thumb. You gently press my head to your chest as you draw your cape about both us, it's warm here with you; I never want to leave. My tired and stinging eyes begin to slip closed as you softly kiss the top of my head and whisper quiet words in my ear.
"Do not cry, Yuffie, I love you and will never leave you nor let them take you from me…" A smile forms on my lips as I'm overtaken by the comforts of sleep. I could never be happier than I am right now; lying with you on top of this old manor with the gorgeous midnight sun shining down upon us. Your words erasing all my worries and your warmth keeping out the frozen claws of the midnight air. I love you, Vincent Valentine and now I know that you love me too. Nothing can steal this feeling from me no matter how hard they might try.
