It’s Just Trash
Chapter 10
As I ran toward the ventilation ducts that could offer me some meager protection, the ship suddenly slipped, causing me to lose my footing. I fell flat, my chin striking the steel plating of the deck hard enough for me to immediately taste blood in my mouth. My head swam from the impact, and I had to push past this and start crawling as best I could toward my goal. The angle of the ship’s deck was growing more and more precarious, and I dug into the diamond plate with my left hand, scrambling to make it before I fell from the ship and to certain death.
I managed to reach out and grab hold of a pipe emerging from the deck just as the ship finally surrendered its position within the crater, and the craft began to fall freely.
I wrapped my metal hand around that single handhold that I had attained, knowing that my grip with it was far stronger than that of my right. My stomach turned as the sensation of the free fall got to me. The outcropping of ventilation ducts that would have offered me far more protection was just a short distance away, but I knew that any attempt to reach it then would have been fatal.
Then again, I was starting to come under the impression that remaining on the ship until it hit the bottom of the crater was probably also not the sharpest of ideas. I began to contemplate trying to summon up Chaos one more time to allow me to fly off and effect some escape, but that thought I instantly curtailed.
If this ship was going to hit the bottom and Tifa was upon it, then she would die. If that were to be the case, then I had no reason to let go, either.
I closed my eyes and tensed my jaw, just holding on.
The ship’s descent abruptly halted and within an instant, we were no longer falling but being pushed upward, and at a greater velocity than we had been plummeting.
Needless to say, the unexpected alteration in forces caused me to lose my grip and I was flung across the deck. I lost my bearings and feared that soon, I would find myself going under the railing and into the unknown.
I didn’t, however, as I struck something with such an impact as to drive me from consciousness. Aware or not, I had been thrown toward where I had initially wished to go. I was wedged between the ventilation ducts.
I regained lucidity a short time later when the feeling of being thrust upward once more abated and again the ship began to lose altitude. I reached out with my arms, bracing me in the position I had settled into and opened my eyes. There was a white glow around us, or near us, it was hard to tell. The ship seemed to be rolling as it fell, causing the night sky and the white light below to alternate out of my vision.
If we were going to crash, I couldn’t help but wish that we could just get it over and done with. The sickness within my stomach from this uncontrolled flight was getting worse and to be honest with you, if it was death we were facing, then I preferred to meet it before I threw up. I do not intend to be offensive, but I find vomiting to be far worse than most other things.
Then again, the plummet was halted and the ship began to accelerate upward.
I was, by that point, horribly ill and tired of it all. Perhaps getting myself out from my hiding place and letting myself fall away into the night would be better.
Before I gave into those notions, however, the ship’s ascent seemed to come under control and I understood that somehow, our pilot had managed to get some form of hold over the situation. Cid had saved us. I was indebted to him, but only if I found out that Tifa was aboard and had weathered everything all right.
Reassured that I was going to live for the immediate future, I closed my eyes and allowed my all encompassing exhaustion wash over me.
Yes, I wanted to go below and be reassured the Tifa was all right, but after what I’d been through, I wouldn’t have possessed the strength to take a single step. I knew that I only needed to rest for a short time, and so I did.
"…sorry, Vincent. We saved the Planet, though…and you said that the greater good was what it was all about, right? I’m not as strong as you…I can’t just stuff my feelings. Fuck the Planet. All I wanted was…you."
Upon hearing these tearful words spoken, I roused from my temporary state of hibernation and opened my eyes. The night sky was over me, visible between the metal work above me. I heard the sound of Tifa crying and tried to see her, but from my position, she was out of my line of sight.
Silently, I managed to free myself from my hiding place, feeling the cold night air sting the various injuries and lacerations that marred my body. I looked around, spotting Tifa standing at the railing, in the place that I had tended to gravitate toward. She was facing away from me and unaware that I was present.
To see her there, alive and seemingly having escaped serious injury, made me smile. I walked up behind her, lingering there for a few moments, wondering if she would notice me behind her.
However, she was focused upon the candy bar she was holding in her hands before her. "Who cares…the world is just a big mess, anyway."
I saw her toss the candy bar over the railing and I, for whatever reason, stepped forward and darted my left arm out, managing to clasp it before it fell out of reach. I couldn’t help but repeat some of the first words that Tifa had ever spoken to me. "Let’s not make it a bigger one."
Tifa seemed to be in some manner of shock, and she froze in place, staring forward at where I was retaining my grip upon her discarded item. It may have just been trash to her, but it was far more important to me.
I think it was then that I finally understood.
Her voice was barely a whisper and she stared to tremble. "Oh God…"
I moved closer to her and let my body press against her side and back. I withdrew my arm and put my lips close to her ear. "Tifa, it’s all right."
Tifa didn’t turn to face me, in fact, she closed her eyes. She seemed to be in disbelief that I was there with her. "Vincent?"
I let my mouth move toward the back of her neck. "Yes?"
She moved and I took a step back. Tifa stared at me, her eyes examining my body with intense scrutiny.
However, the thing foremost on my mind was the candy bar I was holding. You see, the energy that it takes for me to turn into Chaos is considerable, and afterward, I always find myself ravenously hungry as my body tries to replenish its reserves. I needed that candy bar, but I didn’t wish to be rude about it. "Are you going to eat this?"
Tifa smiled and laughed a little at me, before launching herself into my arms. She kissed me in her relief and allowed all of her emotions to come out in that moment.
I realized that there was something that was possibly more appealing for me to do than eat that candy bar. I let my mouth stray from hers and I played against her throat.
"Vincent, how did you make it?" Tifa asked, her voice heavy with lust.
Her tone sent a shock through my body and I couldn’t help but growl as a powerful state of arousal took me over. I spoke, letting my lips graze her neck between my words. "Chaos lost control of my body after Sephiroth threw me across the crater. I hit a ledge far below where you were, and for a time I couldn’t move. Eventually, however, I was able to get the strength to begin climbing. I managed to get up to where we had been, but you were gone. I dressed as best I was able. I saw the ship hanging there, figuring that everyone else had gotten into it. I managed to climb on just before it broke loose and began to fall. How I managed to hang on through what happened afterward, I don’t know and eventually, I lost consciousness. I awoke a moment ago when I heard your voice. I was lying over there, between the ventilation ductwork."
Her eyes were brimming with tears. "Oh Vincent…I though you had died!"
"Honestly," I locked into her gaze, "I believe I was supposed to. However, I was fighting for the future, the one you invited me to be a part of. I couldn’t let you down."
Tifa gave me a smile. "Vincent… I love you."
Well, that was enough. All thought of my desire for the candy bar I was holding faded instantly. There was another need taking me over, and I let the candy fall from my hand and hit the deck. "And I you, hence why I’m here."
Tifa faced away from me and I placed my arms around her, letting my lips meet the back of her neck. She let go of the tension she’d been holding onto and became pliant against me, as I dared to let my hands run over her body.
Suddenly, she grabbed a hold of my left wrist, drawing my attention. I wondered if perhaps I had unknowingly hurt her with my talons or not, and I looked over her shoulder.
I watched in silent amazement as she brought my hand to her mouth and began to lick the claw upon my index finger, as it had gotten some of the chocolate from the melted candy bar upon it somehow. I became painfully aroused to watch her do this and I placed my right arm around her waist, pulling her against me firmly. Yet, I was aware that she was endangering herself to some degree. "Careful, Tifa…don’t get cut…"
She made no reply, seemingly absorbed in what she was doing to me…although I don’t think she understood exactly what she was doing to me. Even though my hand was metal, I could feel the heat of her tongue and breath against it as she slowly cleaned the chocolate from me. It was exquisite.
Eventually, Tifa had me cleaned, and she relinquished her grip upon my left hand and rested her head back against my shoulder. "That didn’t weird you out, did it?"
I had to laugh at this. I was anything but disturbed with what she’d done. It had been one of the most erotic moments of my life. "I wouldn’t say that it ‘weirded’ me out."
I pressed my body against hers with more force, needing more friction between us. I wanted her more than I ever had. "Tifa?"
"Yes?"
I whispered into her ear. "Did you lock the door when you came up?"
There was amusement in her response. "Yes."
There was a growl in my throat as inappropriate thoughts played through my mind. "Good."
I continued to let my hands move over her body, and Tifa reached forward and grabbed a hold of the deck railing, to steady herself as I maintained my pressure against her. As I came to the realization that I could be with her in the very position in which we were standing, I couldn’t restrain my need to ask. I grabbed her hips and held her against me, making the gesture of what I had in mind. "Tifa…can I?"
"Yes."
Even though the door to the deck was locked, I opted to be as discreet as possible with what we were about to do. I gently lifted her skirt up to her hips, and then maneuvered her undergarments down just enough as to grant me access. With that, I let my right hand part her gently, and Tifa bent forward further, inviting me to proceed.
She pushed back against me, producing a pleased sound. "Vincent…"
I placed my left hand upon her shoulder. "Yeah?"
"Just start…"
That was all the encouragement that I required. I let my right hand withdraw from her and I undid the waist to my pants, and found my way into her. I caught my breath and leaned against her back, allowing my hands to grab onto the railing before her. With my present state of excitement, I knew that I had to move with caution, lest I lose myself before I had made the experience worth while for Tifa.
The way she was responding to me indicated that she was…pleased with what I was doing. With each of my slow thrusts, Tifa pushed back against me, driving me in as far as possible.
My passion got the better of me and I once more felt myself becoming more of an animal than a man. My mouth met the back of her neck, and I found myself biting her delicately, but Tifa didn’t seem to mind. In fact, her moans became outright cries as I went, and she even went so far as to call out my name into the night as I felt her body respond around me in her climax.
I wanted to be with her like this forever, and I forced myself to keep going at the same cautious pace as I had maintained thus far. Forever-- I wanted her forever. I wasn’t willing to ever let her go. A question came to my mind, one that I had never anticipated asking ever in my life. "Tifa… Can I ask you something?"
Her head fell back against my shoulder, her eyes still closed. "Anything."
I never ceased working at her, although my actions slowed further as I felt a nervousness well up within me that I’d not before experienced. "Tifa…if we were fighting for a future…and we won…would you be willing to let our futures be just one…permanently?"
Her eyes opened and she strained her neck as to be able to look at me as I remained behind her. "Vincent, what are you asking?"
The fact that she didn’t understand immediately scared me. Perhaps she thought it a ridiculous concept. After all, we had only known one another for a little over three weeks. What right did I have to ask her such a thing already? "If you would consider…"
No, I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I admonished myself for even having broached the subject and I quit moving completely.
She met my gaze, her eyes lighting up with some previously unknown spark. "Vincent, if you want me to marry you, I will."
I couldn’t believe that she’d agreed.
Tifa had agreed!
"Honestly?" I awaited the punch line. Surely this wasn’t going to actually happen. I forgot the compromising position that I still maintained within her body.
"Vincent, I wouldn’t lie to you. I would love for our futures to be…just one." She covered my right hand upon the railing with her own.
Relieved and energized with her response, I closed my eyes, remembering the task at hand. I let my emotions get the better of me and I began to move once more, seeking my own end. I resumed my gentle bites upon her neck. Since she couldn’t see, I didn’t care to suppress the tears of happiness that ran down my face.
When I finally attained my own satisfaction, I couldn’t quell the cry that burned in my throat. That done, I let go of the railing and placed my arms around her waist, holding Tifa to me.
Her head lulled back to my shoulder. "Vincent, I love you."
"I love you, Tifa."
We remained as we were for some time, until I felt her shiver in the cold night air. I reluctantly let go of her and got my clothes back in order, and she did the same. I looked over at her, a smile lingering upon my lips as I buckled my cloak. "Perhaps we should go within and let the others know that I survived."
I didn’t make this statement because I believed that anyone on the ship other than Tifa honestly cared, but it seemed as good an excuse as any for us to get out of the cold.
"Yeah, I think they’ll be glad to know you’re alive."
I produced a strained laugh at this idea. "I’m compelled to believe that they might be disappointed."
Tifa took my hand and looked into my eyes. "Actually, Vincent, when they realized that you hadn’t made it back to the airship, everyone was silent and Cid and Cloud…well, they cared. They honestly did."
I couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps they had just all put on a good show for her. "Then, let’s go."
We walked hand in hand toward the bridge. Upon arriving there, everyone spun to face us.
The pilot knit his brow and came over. "Where the fuck did you come from?"
I couldn’t help but feel…a little cocky in light of what had just happened between Tifa and I. I made an uncharacteristic stab at humor. "Originally, Wutai."
Cid didn’t look particularly amused and he folded his arms over his chest. "I’m gonna pretend that you didn’t just try to make a joke."
Well, it had been a bit of a weak effort on my part, honestly. Cid preferred straight answers and I opted to give him one. "I managed to jump onto the ship and I held on for dear life."
"Shit man, you scared the hell out of Tifa." Cid came closer. "She thought you were dead."
I wondered if perhaps Cid was nearing me in order to strike me for having upset Tifa. It wouldn’t have been out of his nature, and I backed away. "Frightening her is my greatest regret about the situation."
He shook his head and moved toward me once more, this time reaching out and taking a hold of me before I could escape. I couldn’t believe it-- Cid was actually embracing me. "I’m glad you made it, Sunshine."
I made perhaps the most awkward smile of my life as he stepped back from me. "Thank you, Cid."
Cloud had come over as well. "Vincent…you’re okay?"
I figured it was obvious enough. "I seem to be."
He smiled at Tifa for a second. "That’s good."
I pushed aside the remaining fear that I’d possessed about making a display of our status as a couple before the others and put my right arm around Tifa’s shoulders, holding her close, and her arm snaked around my waist in response. I know I had surprised her by doing this, but I knew that she was pleased with it.
And it was just as well, for I never planned on letting her go.
