"Hey, Y/N," Cid's voice beckons me over to the couch.

There was a movie he'd chosen, waiting to be played. I headed over to him, arms full of snacks, putting them down on the coffee table in the small, pale living room of our humble abode.

I snuggled into his side, his arms automatically wrapping themseleves around me. It isn't long that the peace lasts until:

Knock Knock. BOOM.

"Hey, what're you guys doing? You can't be relaxing now!! We're all swamped with work, and it isn't fair you guys aren't either!" The voice complains.

Cid and I lock eyes for a moment, sighing simultaneously. Of course, the day couldn't have gone better.

"Yuffie," I say, slowly turning to look at her, "What did we talk about when you tried to get into the house looking for snacks again?"

"Not to break the door... Sorry?" She sheepishly admits.

"Hey! I'm still here, and I want you outta the house!"

"Mhm. Yuffie, we were given a 3 week break. Remember what happened?" I tilt my head to the side, ever so slightly.

"Oh! Okay---" she starts.

We both breathe out a sigh of relief.

"---But I don't really care." She finished.

The house went still, the film being an exception. Then Yuffie latches onto me, quickly and tightly.

"C'mon, let's go." She says, dragging me over to the door.

"Hey! Y-" Cid's sentence is cut off, a smoke bomb going off right away. My vision is blurred, and I felt the need to run fast. When the smoke dissipated, I saw Yuffie trying to catch her breath.

"Where we going again?" I ask her. She takes hold of my hand and walks with me through the forest and the broken buildings until we eventually reached Seventh Heaven, Tifa's bar, and AVALANCHE's secret hideout.

"Tifa!! I brought Y/N!!" Yuffie hollers, taking an empty seat. She pats the one next to her and I take it, sitting down.

Yuffie orders drinks for the both of us.

"So, how did you and Cid meet? Oh, and how did he propose to you? I wanna know!" She asks, looking directly at me.

I lift the glass to my lips and take sip. I smiled at the fond memories we had and started explaining to Yuffie.

"Well, I'd known Cid ever since I was a child. We were friends, from when we were the size of Cloud's bicep, all the way to now. So we know each other pretty darn well."

"How'd you not feel weirded out that he asked you out?"

"I don't actually know. But it felt kind of horrifying. I thought he was reading my mind when he asked me out! But really, when you catch feelings, don't let them go. You may forget their names and stuff, but don't forget the memories."

"How did he ask you out?"

"He just asked me out. He was straightforward. 'Hey, Y/N. I've loved you for a long time and I was wondering if you wanted to date me.' There. That's all it took."

"Really?! I mean, really? 'Date me?' Is that the best he could do?"

"Yuffie!" I exclaim, playfully hitting her shoulder.

"No, no. You think I made it easy? He had to ask me six more times before I agreed. Then as time passed, I saw myself catching feelings. So I thought, 'why not take it beyond?' The next day, he proposed when we were in the middle of a mission and now we're both here."

The door opens with a jingle, and footsteps make their way towards us. After hearing the pace and the way the person carried themselves, I was certain that it was Cid.

"Y/N, let's go. The house has a busted front door, remember?" He said, the realization hitting me.

"Oh #^>/, you're right! Thanks, Yuffie!" I wave back and head through the front door with him next to me as we make our way back to the house.

"Missed you." Cid says, nuzzling into my side. I wrap my arms around him.

"Hey, Cid?"

"Yeah."

"No one is gonna take me away from you, I promise."

"Thanks, Y/N."

"Yeah."

--Fin--

Bonus:

"Hey, Yuffie. What's that behind your back?" Tifa asks, staring at the girl from the back of the bar.

"Uh, well.. I, uh.. I did a little snooping around here and there."

"A little?"

"Y-yeah! Anyways, I'll see you later!"

-

"Cid? What's that?"

"Someone told me Yuffie was selling pictures. Bought this off a guy."

"Wait.. That's-!!"

"Mhm."

The picture undescribed was framed within the house. Within it, Cid and Y/N can be barely seen through the windows of their house, sleeping.
