A/N: Yay, so many reviews! I love your support so much, all of you! I perosnally like this chapter a lot, but I'm afraid Leon got a bit OOC at the end. However, keep in mind this is a couple years after KHII, so I decided he had softened a bit during this time, which excuses some OOCness, dontcha think?

--------------------

"Okay brat, Leon's cleanin' out Nobodies at the damn Postern, but he'll be back soon, so hold tight and stay out of my fuckin way!" The pilot's harsh words would have made a lesser person shrink back, but Yuffie had known them so much, she was known to speak this language herself in extreme circumstances.

Today, however, she was using that as a final resort, an option that was becoming unbelievably tempting. "C'mon Cid, quit calling me a brat! I'm 19 already!" He laughed at this and she acted hurt. Te two exchanged am exchange that showed the best use of the most colorful words known to the English lanaguage, that is until Aerith showed up with Squall and Cloud in tow. The swearing match stopped on a dime and both parties returned to their original duties.

"Heya Aerith!" Yuffie exclaimed happily, "Squall and Cloud behave themselves?"

Aerith giggled and nodded. "For the time, yes. Now it's almost 11 o'clock, so let's call it a night." Cloud nodded his agreement and approached her from behind, taking her pink-clad form into his arms. She easily relaxed into his chest as he picked her up bridal style. Yuffie would have scoffed at this, but instead felt the slightest pang of envy towards Aerith to have someone care like that. She quickly hid this with a bright smile and a leap towards the stairs. "C'mon Squall!"

He snorted and leaned his gunblade against the wall by Cloud's Buster Sword, muttering, "It's Leon." Reluctantly he followed Yuffie up the stairs to the room they shared. She was in the bathroom, so he took the time to strip down to his boxers. The room was so quiet. Why did that bother him? Stupid ninja. She got him too used to noise.

In his mind, regrettably, Squall Leonhart knew that wasn't exactly true. Yuffie was that flower in that movie she worshipped as a child, Lion King II. The small flower fought to grow in a place with the most adverse conditions, struggle to beautify a place where such things died long ago.

He had already settled into bed when Yuffie came out in shirt she wore often to bed that reached down to mid-thigh. He watched her come across the room and plop onto the bed carelessly. "You're not keeping your promise very well." He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "The one we made to promise to bring more love to the world? You aren't keeping it."

Squall batted this around in his mind. "Neither are you." He concluded, settling back down.

"Am too. I've found someone to love. He just…he doesn't want it." Squall looked up sharply. In recent years, he had begun to talk to Yuffie like an adult, not a child. Hearing this disturbed him immensely. Who was this man?

"Yuf, whoever doesn't want your love is a complete dumbass and not worthy of you." The brunette pretended not to be as angry as he really was. Since when did he become an expert on affairs of romance? It wasn't really his business.

Yuffie shifted, grinning sheepishly. "Well, I haven't exactly told him yet." Yuffie not speaking her mind? This was new. "But I'm going to right now." She sucked in a breath, and then let it out, standing up. "Squall Leonhart…I love you."

…

"I knew it! You don't care at all! Ugh, I'm such a-" I regret to inform you, my readers, you will never know what Yuffie was. For, at this moment, a gloved hand covered her mouth softly, and a voice tickled her ear.

"Well, I suppose this means I have to keep my promise?" Yuffie's platinum eyes widened as she spun to face him, nodding.

"You've got that right buster! You had better-" Again, dear readers, you will never know what Leon should have done, because he cut our beloved ninja off with a kiss, sealing her lips with his. She almost shied away from her first kiss, but he was gentle. He embraced her slowly and softly, as if afraid she would shatter at his touch. She responded by deepening the kiss they shared and pulling herself closer to him.

Finally, they pulled away.

"And just so you know Yuffie," He pushed her back onto the bed and went to his own side, face unreadable as always.

"It's Leon."

Okay, good news/bad news time.

Good news: I'm going to Florida for a week! WOOT WOOT! Seeing family and Disney World for an entire week!

Bad News: I will not have internet access from Friday, September 29th until Saturday, October 7th. That means no updates. Sorry!

Either way, I hope you're all doing great. And I have a request. See, my friends and I have been bored lately, so we're getting really into ghost stories and telling them to each other during art. If you have a good ghost story, could you please e-mail it to me? Either way, I love my reviews! Thanks!
