Indigo and cobalt clashed violently, their depths swirling angrily, alight with tumultuous fireworks of rage as their owners glared at each other fiercely, feet planted upon the wood of the dock, damp from the icy ocean water that thundered underneath. The ebony-clad male's figure contrasted against the slimmer, more feminine frame of the girl in front of him.

"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into...Yuffie."

The girl scoffed, rolling her beryl-colored eyes skyward. "Honestly, Squall. What could possibly be so bad about going out with Riku?"

"That's Leon," the man replied, almost automatically. "And I'm only looking out for you. I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, break up with him."

Yuffie took a step forward, standing on tiptoe so that she was staring at her reflection in his sky-blue orbs.

"If I didn't know any better, Squall," she sneered, "I'd say you were jealous."

His eyes flashed, the flames of fury dancing within them swelling into a full-blown conflagration. He lifted both of his gloved hands and placed them on either of her long, slender arms. He leaned forward until his lips were centimeters from hers. For a moment, Yuffie thought he was going to kiss her—

—until he whirled her around and pushed her into the frothy cerulean void below.

Time seemed frozen as the ninja teetered on the edge of the dock, as though her body was trying to decide whether to stay upright or fall. Her arms flapped through the air in circular motions like oversized pinwheels, trying to push her back onto the safety of polished wood. Ultimately, however, gravity won, and Yuffie toppled over and was swallowed by the azure-tinted waves.

Returning his hands to his sides, Leon took a step back, a smirk playing upon his features, as though surveying a masterpiece. Folding his arms across his torso, he waited for the ninja to poke her head out of the water, to climb back onto the dock, to scold him for being "an insensitive jerk".

But she never did.

Squall Leonhart, you insensitive j e r k ...

Minutes passed. Leon uncrossed his arms; the smirk melted from his face like ice cream in the midday sun. Worry began to fill him, spreading from his chest all the way down to the tips of his toes as he scanned the sapphire horizon, searching for a sign of her raven-topped head amongst the shimmering waters.

And then he remembered.

Yuffie couldn't swim.
