Chapter Five – Yuffie POV

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

If someone ever told me I would end up making out with Vinnie in the future of our lives together I probably would have laughed in their face. It didn't matter how much I adored the man or began to fall for his dark self. I always knew Vincent was not a man set on any woman but one and my hope for anything more was foolish. Sure, I always hoped there would be a chance. But I knew there was a fine line between hoping the and truth.

Vincent pulled me tighter to his body where he lay on the bed and I ran my fingers through his long hair. His fire eyes danced to the feeling of me touching him in such a romantic way. At least, I could only hope what we were sharing was more of a romantic thing rather than a little fling. I mean, we both said the dangerous 'L' word and I imagine what we said was true. I knew what I said was true but was Vinnie being honest. I knew he never found the need to lie, but the chances were there.

"What's wrong?" Vinnie asked. Obviously, he was sensing my hesitation.

"Do you really…love me?" I asked him. As I said before, he wouldn't lie to his friends. But I also knew the stories of what a man would do just to get a woman in the position Vinnie held me in. It had been a while since he had a woman touch him anyway. Lord, it had been much too long if I were to be honest with myself.

"Follow me," he said as he rolled us off the bed. It was the most ungrateful motion he ever made, but there was a first time for everything. When I stood out of the bed he took my hand and pulled me our of the bedroom. As we left the guest room he continued to hold my hand and stepped into the kitchen. The smell of coffee and breakfast filled my nose. I never drank simple coffee but the smell was always an appealing scent.

"Good…good morning," Cloud said from the stove where he cooked up a batch of pancakes. His eyes fell directly towards our joined hands. A slow smile appeared on his face. "I guess Tifa wasn't speaking in drunken slurs last night."

Tifa gave a weak smile from the dinning room table. I could only imagine her smoggy appearance wasn't much better than mine. Of course, I was also hooked to a very attractive vampire man to make things in my life more appealing.

"I have some news for everyone," Vincent said and raised my hand to openly kiss my knuckles. It was shocking enough for him to show any gesture of affection in front of another person. But for him to hold my hand and kiss my fingers so smoothly was almost too much for my poor heart to handle.

"I think we can guess what happened between you two last night. I don't need the details though," Cloud said with a laugh and brought out plates with pancakes for everyone to pick at as they wished.

Vinnie shook his head as we sat next to one another with our plates full. "No, I have some news much different than Yuffie and I becoming a thing." I glanced towards him and he smirked. "I mean, we are a thing, right?"

"I…I…yeah," I said and felt my cheeks turn to fire. I suppose the relationship was an obvious thing at that point but nothing had really been discussed. I imagined Vinnie's heart would come with a long, detailed agreement I would have to sign on the dotted line for ownership. The fact it was so simple of an action blew my mind.

"I also have a tiny factor I think I discovered yesterday," Vincent continued as we ate our meals. "In her drunken state, Yuffie made an observation all of us have chosen to simply ignore and I'm surprised. My body isn't healing as well as it once had, my vision is back to an average human's, and I can't hear for shit."

The room filled with puzzled expressions to Vinnie's words. He spoke of things we all knew and it wasn't really that big of a deal. Yeah, he had changed quite a bit after our fights calmed down and it seemed as if he was getting back to a normal state. It wasn't something we missed but it didn't seem like a big deal to announce such an obvious thing.

"Wait, average human?" Cloud said being able to connect the dots before anyone else at the table. "Let me see your back again."

Vincent rose his shirt to show off the spot he was attacked on the other day. The odd color to his injury was nearly gone and the wound itself was beginning to scab up. It appeared to be healing nicely and in a few days it would almost be gone.

"Well, damn," Cloud said and chuckled. "You're healing like an average human. How did you get rid of your demons?"

My mouth dropped open right along with Tifa's eyes popping wide. Vincent shrugged and smiled to the three of us in the room. Before he could say a single thing I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. He rubbed his hands along my back and and whispered into my ear.

"Now, don't you go dying before me because I don't think my heart could handle it," he said and playfully licked my ear in a way no one else could see. I screeched and jumped out of his arms. He only laughed and shook his head.

"What did you do to her?" Tifa asked and gave him a glare all while she wore a smile.

"It's a secret," he said and winked at me. Oh, the man next to me was going to destroy me if I let him and I couldn't take much more of it. We needed to get back to his house now or I was going to go insane. As if he could read my mind he took my hand and pulled me to my feet to drag me out of the house. His actions were anything but suspicious to everyone in the room. So much for his need for secrets.

Well, that was cute and adorable! Not a whole lot of fighting or drama going on, but whatever it worked! It's okay to have a bit of fluff and love between our heroes, right? Hope you felt the same way! The ending was kind of jumbled and a bit uneventful, but it worked!
