Challenge: 192--Walls
Title: Restorate
Word Count: 268
Notes: My second post...gah, I'm so new at this. No idea where this thing came from, I'm making it up as I go. But I adore Leon/Yuffie goodness, and it makes me wonder why I don't write them more...

Yuffie's boots kicked the small, loose stones to the ground, where they landed with barely a consequence. The wall in the Bailey had been busted who knew how many times as wave after wave of heartless, too numerous to be wiped out completely by the defense system, tried to tear the whole world down. Of course, this was the first time that Yuffie'd had aided in the destruction...she wouldn't be mentioning this to Squallykins.

Unfortunately, the brooding swordsman had been patrolling in the night, swinging his gunblade through the stale dark air. Yuffie had finished her battle a mere minutes before. Simple, easy, and the cause of no blood, sweat, or tears. Leon had seen it all.

"Yuffie! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

She took a ninja leap off of the busted wall. "Sitting. You?"

"I rebuilt this yesterday."

Yuffie strolled up to blink at him, dark eyes locking in his own. "We're the Restoration Committee. Let's just...restorate it."

"Restorate?"

"Now you're catching on! But it can wait, right?"

She stood unnervingly close, close enough that her breath was tangiable. Leon blamed it for the sudden lump in his throat, obstructing his ability to breathe fresh air. "It can wait. Now...let's get back. Before you break anything else." Turning away from her eyes was the only way that he could clear his head.

Their conversation faded off into the distance as they made back for Merlin's. They'd fix the wall tomorrow. See, they both knew something about walls--no matter how many times you built them up, they'd soon fall back down.

Oh this was just too cute for words! and I adore the moment of tension between Leon and Yuffie right there near the end!

Yeah, at first it was without that little bit, and I was like, "Uhh...brain telling me something...need more..."

And so I wrote more. Cause, really, what else can you do?

Thanks for the compliement! These two just really are too cute.

Aah. xD
So much Yuffie lately these past few weeks, and I'm still not sick of her. :3
This was really cute.
A-and 'Squallykins'? OH, YUFFIE.
xD Anyway, great job. :3

You can't get sick of Yuffie. She just flips onto the scene and personality-afies anything that gets into her way. And, of course, she can't just call him Leon, 'cause that's just too easy. Thankies!

Hey, making stuff up as you go is the only way to write drabbles (or anything for that matter, haha). :P

This is cute. Great job for your second post!

Thank you, thank you! I usually have at least some idea of what I'm going to write before I do it...until now. Eh, whatever, it's not like it really matters all that much. It definitely adds spontinuity! Gah, curse that word and it's spelling. ^^
