"Where are those two?" Barret muttered in annoyance. Yuffie smirked to herself. She knew Cloud and Aeris were sneaking off for some alone time. She had caught them kissing passionately just the other day. The only reason she hadn't told anyone was because Cloud had given her all his materia and promised her he would buy her another batch at the next store. Needless to say, it effectively bought her silence.

Feeling tired, she got up and made her way to the tent she shared with Tifa and Aeris. As she approached, she saw Cloud and Aeris emerge from the forest, deliberately keeping a good distance from each other. Aeris reached the group first, taking a seat next to Tifa. As Cloud walked past, Yuffie suddenly reached forward and grabbed his shoulder. He shot her an annoyed look but she merely smirked and wiggled her finger in a gesture for him to come closer before she whispered.

"To avoid questions, you might want to wipe those lipstick marks off," she suggested, giggling as his hand immediately flew to his mouth and his cheeks flushed. Yuffie always did like to see people suffer with embarrassment.
