"Vin…you're blushing…" Cid commented, as he wrapped a towel around his waist.

"No, I am not. I do not blush." Self-consciously burying his head a little deeper in his collar, he looked away from the pilot.

He had accidentally walked in on Cid as he stepped out of the shower and though he would never admit it, his cheeks nearly matched his cloak ('cause THAT analogy has never been used before).

"Yeah ye are, I can feel the heat comin' off yer damn cheeks from here!" Lighting up, not bothering to dress, he looked at Vincent who looked like he might huff in indignation.

"You just came out of the hottest shower in history; that is the warmth you are feeling. I'm sorry I walked in on you." As he turned to leave, Cid could not resist one more jibe.

"If you ain't blushin', then why the hell are you trying to burrow into that damn cape o' yer's?" There was no way he was going to let him get away with it. Vincent turned slightly.

"I feel a chill"

"Bullshit, you just said it was hot in here!" A little redder now, Vincent turned fully to him.

"Listen, Highwind, for I will not repeat this again. I am NOT blushing!" Happy he ruffled his feathers, Cid grinned and grabbed his arm, forcing him to turn and look at his reflection in the mirror. It was a little foggy, but the colour was definitely there, staining his cheeks.

"So I suppose you just dunked your face in kool-aid and I didn't see it?" Vincent turned and stormed away, Cid's grin growing. "I told ya you were fuckin' blushing!

"I WAS NOT BLUSHING!"

"BULLSHI- " A gunshot sounded and shattered the mirror, an inch from his head. His grin only broadened. "WHY'RE YA BEIN' SO DEFENSIVE THEN?"

One more inch…

AN: OFCOURSE VINCENT DOESN'T BLUSH, THAT WOULD BE A DISPLAY OF EMOTION, MUCH LIKE HE DOESN'T JUST SHOOT AT PEOPLE TO SHUT THEM UP WHEN HE GETS DEFENSIVE! Lol, might make a secondary chapter (almost definitely) or it becomes a series of things Cid tries to do to get him to blush. Please don't take this as Valenwind – I support it, but I don't think he would blush so hard and bristle up so much if they were in a relationship. Though it may evolve, I make no promises – Cid's a pretty head-strong (pig-headed) man who'll do just about anything to prove himself right.

P.S: MICROSOFT WORD fucking hates Cid Highwind's speech pattern.
