Quite probably, this is the end. Until KH3 anyway. :)

“Leon? Are you asleep?” Yuffie asked.

“Yes.” Leon answered.

Yuffie smiled at his back in the dark. “You’re dreaming then are you?”

“Yes. I’m having a very nice dream where unicorns sing lullabies and I’m already asleep.”

“I’m not offended, because I know you don’t mean it.” Yuffie answered.

She felt the bed shift as Leon turned over to look at her, as if he could really see her any better in this dark. “What is it Yuffie? You really do want to talk after all?”

Yuffie nodded and smiled. “I guess so. Sorry.”

Leon shrugged. Yuffie knew, because the bed moved. “So what is it? Is it about your dreams?”

“Yeah.” Yuffie was quiet a moment, thinking about what to say. Leon said nothing; he just waited for her to figure it out herself. “I don’t dream about Godo anymore.” She said. Leon nodded. “In my dreams now there is almost always a figure in the distance, walking away from me.” She turned onto her back to look at the ceiling. She could feel Leon’s moving on the bed, and it distracted her, but she kept talking. “At first, it was too foggy, and I couldn't see anything. I couldn't make out who it was. But recently, I’ve been able to see clearly.”

Leon was quiet, waiting for her to go on, but she felt embarrassed now and she wasn’t sure she should go on after all. “And? Who is it Yuffie?” He asked.

Yuffie turned back to Leon. He was close enough she could feel his breath on her lips. ‘I love you.’ She thought, and she knew she would tell him. “It’s you Leon. It’s always been you, in my dreams. You’re always looking out for me; you’re my guardian.”

Leon turned away. “You dream about me that much?” He asked. Yuffie thought that maybe he was trying to joke, but this once, she wasn’t in the mood.

“You really are always looking out for me, aren’t you?” She asked. “Not just in my dreams, not just when I ask you to, or when I’m in trouble. You’ve looked after me since Traverse Town.”

“Yuffie...”

“I love you Leon.” She blurted out. That was it. She wasn’t even sure it was the right thing to say, the right thing to do, but Aerith had told her to be louder. She wasn’t going to be silent anymore.

“I love you too Yuffie.” Leon answered.

“No. I’m serious. I really love you. As in love you love you.” She argued. She wanted him to understand exactly what she meant.

Leon laughed and her heart skipped a beat. Then he said, “I’m serious too.”

“Oh.” Yuffie said. She hadn’t expected that. She hadn’t known what to expect; just anything but that. “Oh.” She said again.

“Yeah.”

She stared into the darkness, and she thought that maybe, just a little, she could see their breath mingling together in the cold night air. “Well... what now?” She asked.
