Summary: Vincent muses about his team mates and wonders about a certain person.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Final Fantasy VII.

Vincent was a loner by nature. He preferred to be by himself rather than in the company of his team mates/friends. Actually, he didn't mind Cloud's presence as he didn't bother the sniper that much and only spoke when necessary. The blond kept out of Vincent's personal business and he returned the favor.

Yuffie tended to drive him crazy with her antics, her endless chatter, and her insistence to be more social. In other words, he was very tempted to unleash his limit break on her and be done with it, however, the others would not take too kindly to it and neither would Lord Godo. Instead, he merely changed his PHS, telling only Cloud and Tifa as they were responsible people his new number.

Tifa was okay though she could be annoying at times too when she decided he needed to socialize. Unlike Yuffie, she didn't pry into his personal business and could actually make a damn good drink. Now if she only wore a bra that supported those jiggling breasts of hers, that would be even better. Maybe he should drop a hint in the form of a present, namely a supportive bra.

Aerith, while she was around, felt more like a mother to him. He didn't know much about his mother except from the stories his father told him. She died when he was young, but his father wouldn't tell him why, not even as an adult. Maybe his father had some shape or form been directly/indirectly responsible? They were madly in love with each other. In any case, she somehow filled that empty role. He often went to her for advice regarding women and people in general.

Barret... he was loud, though not as loud as the pint size wannabe ninja. Sure, he could cuss out a sailor any day, but he was very gentle when it came to his adoptive daughter, Marlene. In fact, the big brute became a pushover only with her. She had him wrapped around her little finger without knowing it. Thankfully, she was a good kid. He too knew when to stick his nose in other people's business and keep it out.

Nanaki or RedXIII was very much like him, an unwanted but forced test subject. They both were patient and wise or that was what the others told him. While the others (except Cloud) prattled about whimsical things, their conversations were often meaningful and philosophical. He wouldn't mind having the... feline? around for a nice conversation except when he suffered a Yuffie induced migraine.

Cid was the complete opposite of him. He was loud, brash, and tactless. The pilot tended to go on the fly rather than making any plans. He didn't like frills, but sometimes showed off to probably prove himself to the younger members of the group. While he wasn't a womanizer, he certainly liked spending time with the ladies. Cid was the what you see was what you get person. He hated when people hid behind masks like Vincent and Cloud.

Which was why Vincent questioned his sanity or lack of it.

It all started out when the entire gang decided to visit Cloud and Tifa. Naturally, Cid dropped by to drag his sorry ass to the little get together. He flat out refused, but oddly enough didn't put much of a struggle when Cid carried him bridal style onto the Highwind.

Once there, he couldn't help but send glares Shera's way as she seemed to occupy the pilot's attention. He didn't know her well enough to carry a grudge or anything, but something about her rubbed him the wrong way. Cloud even asked if there was something wrong with him in spite of trying to stay out of conversation with Tifa.

Vincent couldn't put his finger on it, but it involved Cid in some way. He never had these feelings before or that he remembered.

"Valentine..."

The former Turk tilted up his head, giving off an eerie glow. "Yes?"

Cid took a breath and muttered a prayer before quickly leaning down and connecting their lips for a kiss. When Vincent jerked in surprise, he quickly invaded his mouth, pushing for dominance between the two.

Vincent was completely caught off guard, which was hard considering he had been trained by Turks and became one eventually. He didn't mind this though as he wrapped his human arm around Cid, pulling him for a deeper kiss.

Damn, he was good.

"I thought you and..." Vincent glanced over to Shera.

"It didn't last long. She became annoying. Now quit spoiling the moment."

Cid reclaimed those soft but tantalizing lips.
