Growing family

Making their move

YURI SECTION

Yuri enters the Seventh Heaven and sees Tifa drinking alone at a table. Yuri's eyes widen before she walks to the woman she loves and speaks.

Yuri:" Tifa... are you okay?"

Tifa looked up at Yuri with bloodshot eyes; she had very clearly been crying. Yuri's eyes widened as she quickly sat next to Tifa while she spoke.

Yuri:" Tifa... what happened?"

Tifa gulps before she tries to speak, and tears leak out of Tifa's beautiful crimson eyes before she mumbles.

Tifa:" Guy I liked... rejected me..."

Yuri's eyes widen before she speaks.

Yuri:" Oh god... Tifa, I'm so sorry."

Yuri quickly envelops Tifa in a hug, making Tifa hug the pink-haired woman tightly while she begins to cry hard. Tifa holds onto Yuri's sweater as hard as possible while Yuri hugs Tifa while the dark-haired woman speaks.

Tifa:" He said... he said... I wasn't pretty enough..."

Yuri's eyes narrowed with anger before she looked into Tifa's eyes while speaking.

Yuri:" Tifa... listen to me, you are beautiful. I don't care what any guy says! Listen to me. You are my best friend and gorgeous; anyone would be lucky to have you."

Yuri holds Tifa's hand while speaking.

Yuri:" Tifa, please... what can I do to help."

Tifa buries her face in Yuri's chest while she speaks.

Tifa:" Please... stay with me."

Yuri nods while holding Tifa. Her pink eyes are narrow as she keeps her close. Yuri then speaks, trying to lighten the mood.

Yuri:" Although... if it's any consolation, I think you're pretty."

Tifa blushes before smiling, still burying her head in Yuri's chest.

Tifa:" Thank you, Yuri... you're the best."

Yuri smiles, holding the woman she loves close.

AIKO SECTION

Aiko sits with Ren at a coffee shop while she speaks, sipping a cup of coffee.

Aiko:" So Ren, I worry that our characters' interactions feel a little bit hollow. Do you have any ideas on how we could make them feel a little bit more real?"

Ren sips his tea, looking downward before speaking.

Ren:" Well, our characters are childhood friends, so we could spend more time together, get to know each other better, and maybe bounce some ideas off each other.

Aiko's heart fluttered in her chest at Ren's suggestion; Aiko then softly smiled while speaking.

Aiko:" That sounds like a good idea. Oh, and I never did thank you for saving me earlier."

Ren drinks his tea while speaking.

Ren:" Aiko, it's fine. I'm sure you would've done the same for me if I were in that situation."
