"No, that's okay, you looked... busy." His face flushes and I can't help but press on.
"Busy? What do you mean?"
"Uh... Preoc, active, doing something. Busy." This time Yuffie's face goes slightly red.
"I've got no idea..." I start.
"Oh wait!" Yuffie speaks up. "I know what he's talking about!"
"That's great Yuffie. Uh, you..." Cid begins.
"What?" I look at her, head cocked to the side.
"You know, what we were doing back there?" She wiggles her eyebrows. I swear Cid's face is going green. I'm enjoying this too much.
"Oh right," I over exaggerate a wink to her.
"Right, so um... You two, er, have fun or whatever, I'm gonna go... I've gotta fix something," he blushes and ruffles his light hair before walking away awkwardly.
"Should we tell him?" I say to Yuffie.
"Probably," I chew on my bottom lip, watching the poor guy's neck flare up red again as he probably analyzes the conversation in his mind.
"Let's go," she grabs my hand and tugs me after him.
"Hey Cid!" I yell. He pauses before walking a little faster. "Cid!" I catch his arm. He takes in a deep breath and pinches he bridge if his nose.
"What."
"I'm sorry, before we begin, I would just like to say," Yuffie points at me. "He did it!"
"What?! No, this was all your plan!"
"Plan?" Cid looks up, still pale.
"Joke!" I say quickly.
"Oh so it was..." he sighs with relief before laughing nervously. "Okay, that makes it better," he chuckles again.
"What, do I,'' I pause dramatically, striking a model pose and holding the back of my head, forcing my hair to stick up like peacock feathers. " Give off that vibe?"
"I swear you're gay," Cid shakes his head before looking back at Yuffie. "Don't you?"
"I used to," she shrugs, her cheeks coloring again. What is with her cheeks? They're practically glowing red by now.
"But... Wait were you actually... for the joke..." Cid's eyes widen.
"OH MY GOSH, DON'T TAKE IT LIKE THAT! TAKE IT LIKE A KISS, YOU DIRTY MINDED FREAK!" Yuffie bursts.
"Um... What?" he looks confused.
"Nothing," Yuffie sighs, pulling me behind her. I'm still striking poses. "Cmon, Gay Guy."
"Excuse me?" I look offended.
"That's your new sidekick name."
"I am, in all respect to your meaningless opinion, as straight as an arrow."
"And some arrows can never go completely straight," she glances back at me.
"Are you saying I'm bi?" I gasp.
"You get the best of both worlds, don't you?" She bites her lip to suppress a laugh.
"You're disgusting," I shake my head.
"You love it," she smirks back. My heart skips. Why? No idea. I'm just hungry. Wait, what does that have to do with my gut?
"Bluegalagamegablue!" I yell back in response. She looks generally scared, weirded out, and confused all in one. Score!
