Drabble
Title: Thief
Requested by: vinval
Rating: PG-13, for swearing.
Pairing: Barrett, Yuffie. (Friendship.)
Warnings: None.
Summary: Yuffie loves to push all of Barrett’s buttons. …Just because she can.
Erm... I hope it turned out well. I tried not to make it too fluffy but probably failed with that. I hope you like it anyway!
Yuffie was an ally and had helped save the world on more than one occasion, but Barrett could never bring himself to let his guard down when she was in the same room with him. Things always seemed to disappear when she was around and it always put him on edge.
What really pissed him off was how she always had an eye for his things, -things that were precious to him and didn’t need her grubby hands all over, damnit- and had to look so smug when he went stomping up to her to get it back.
On one particular day, she had stolen a bead bracelet Marlene had made for him. His face burning with embarrassment, he had demanded its safe return, but Yuffie only smiled sweetly at him.
“Why Barrett,” she purred, “What makes you think I took it?”
“I know you did, you bitch,” he growled back and bristled in annoyance when she laughed.
They bickered for awhile, like they always did, but eventually Yuffie lost interest in the game and gave whatever she had taken back to him. Barrett couldn’t lie and say it didn’t irritate him, but he found it strangely…comforting at the same time.
She only stole from him in jest, he knew that. It was really his fault for indulging her the way he did. He knew that she just wanted attention, and he continued to give it to her as shamelessly as he would to Marlene.
After all, although she may have helped save the world as a trusted ally and a close friend, she was a ninja. Or shinobi. Or whatever the hell she called herself. Even if Barrett kept telling himself he couldn’t afford to let his guard down around her, he had a feeling that she had already stolen his heart.
And Otter? I'm still working on yours. Hopefully I'll have it up later this afternoon... In the evening at the latest. Sorry for the wait. D:
