"Then they're yours." Cloud said, pushing the cookies to her. "I do encourage you to take more, because Tifa isn't going to let me leave until these are all gone."
"Cheer up, scrooge." (Y/n) said, Cloud glared at her, "It's Christmas."
"Christmas is almost over." Cloud corrected, "So, it means I get to be miserable in a couple hours."
(Y/n) shook her head, but then Cloud changed the subject.
"I heard you invited the three." Cloud said, "Do you really think that's a good idea?"
"Well, I guess." (Y/n) said, "The sooner we get them to trust us, the safer we all will be."
"I see," Cloud said, "But what makes you think they'll show up?"
"I don't know, honestly. I've only had a handful of interactions with them, and from that I hope they can trust me." (Y/n) said, "Also, that Loz is a sweetheart."
Cloud rolled his eyes, while she nervously smiled.
"Just trust me." She said, Cloud looked back at her. He looked over her expression, it was quite a risk they were taking, but if (Y/n) was so sure that they'll behave, then he could trust her.
"Fine." Cloud mumbled, "But, the first sign of trouble, they're out of here."
"Agreed." (Y/n) said, turning away with gingerbread men in hand.
(Y/n) did believe that it was a risk of bringing the three to the bar for Christmas, but in a way, she trusted them. Yes, everyone had issues with them in the past. But, as she said before, this party was just one more step to peace. So, Christmas was the perfect time to start that peace.
"Here, Vincent." (Y/n) said, tossing the gingerbread man with the messed up face at him. Vincent caught it, and instantly looked at it with confusion.
"What is this-" Vincent stopped, (Y/n) raised an eyebrow, she heard the many people that were around them stop talking. Beside the Christmas music that was still playing on the speaker, the room was suddenly quiet. Vincent's eyes were locked on the front door of the bar, along with everyone else.
(Y/n) turned and saw three dark figures, easily spotted out because of the brightly coloured out room. Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz stood there, a very intimidating sight. No one dared to say anything, even Yuffie looked to be a loss for words. Loz scanned the crowd, not at all fazed by the fact that everyone was eyeing them.
"Well, they certainly came." Vincent whispered into her ear, placing his hands on her shoulders while she faced away from him. "Now, what?"
"I didn't think everyone would notice them." (Y/n) whispered back, Vincent let out a small, barely audible chuckle.
"Well, they definitely notice them."
(Y/n) subtly motioned to Yuffie, who tore her gaze from the front door to (Y/n). (Y/n) then motioned for her to say something, at first Yuffie shook her head. (Y/n) then turned to Cloud, who was glaring at the three. She waved over to him to get his attention, which did. Cloud raised an eyebrow, but then she motioned for him to say something.
Cloud rolled his eyes, he took a deep breath and put on his fakest smile. He obviously hated, crushing the poor gingerbread man in his hand.
"Welcome." Cloud announced, cringing at his own cheery tone. Everyone turned to see who was speaking, shocked to see Cloud speaking up. "To this little Christmas party."
Loz nervously looked at Kadaj, who did not look fazed.
Cloud then had an idea, he couldn't help but smile. Think of it as small revenge for being forced to speak up, he locked eyes with (Y/n).
"If everyone would take a seat," Cloud said, getting a confused look from (Y/n). Cloud smirked, paying no mind to her. "(Y/n) will be performing a song for all of us."
(Y/n)'s eyes widened in shock, while Vincent chuckled in amusement. Everyone started to clap, Yuffie then motioned for her to join her in the front of the room. (Y/n) glared at Cloud, who was not done.
