Warnings: None
Rating: G
Summary: It's far too early in the morning for Leon to deny whatever Yuffie and Aerith apparently want from him. For [livejournal.com profile] key_blade.



Yuffie has entirely too much energy and Aerith is just cruel, opening the curtains to let in bright light. She leans against the wall while Yuffie, less reserved, jumps onto Leon's bed, thoroughly waking him up -- if the sun didn't do that already. He puts a hand over his eyes and groans softly.

"Are you one of those guys that sleeps naked? If you are, don't move, I don't wanna see!" Yuffie chirps. Chirps is exactly the word for it -- like a bird tweeting far too early in the morning and waking him up. He groans and tries to turn over, but she's sitting most uncomfortably on his feet. "Sorry for waking you up, but it's a lovely day and we were going to ask you -- "

"No," he says, just on reflex, closing his eyes tighter as if that'll make the bright red glow of the sunlight through his eyelids go away. It doesn't, but it causes interesting sparks in his vision. He sighs softly.

"Leon..." Aerith is gentler, coaxing, and she'll be the death of him one day, he's quite sure. She could charm birds into her hand -- and Leons into whatever trouble she and Yuffie have been planning.

"What do you want?" he groans.

"Well, it's a nice day, so we thought..." she hesitates, and Yuffie bounces a little to make sure he stays awake to hear the rest of Aerith's sentence. Groaning again he sits up and gathers his sheets around him, glaring at the girl sat on his feet. "We thought we'd go for a picnic," Aerith finishes, after a couple of heartbeats, and smiles apologetically at Leon's disbelieving look.

"Where, exactly?"

"Well... wherever's nice. Maybe on the steps near the shops."

"Somewhere sunny!"

Leon looks from Yuffie to Aerith to Yuffie again, and groans a third time -- just for good measure. He flops down again and stares at the ceiling and wonders what, exactly, he did to deserve this. "Fine. Why do I have to come, though?"

Yuffie looks at a loss for words at that, then she bounces cheerfully on his feet once more and gets up. "Well, we're... a trio, you know? Should do more things together."

"There are more than three of us, sometimes," he points out, thinking of Cid.

"Yes, but we are the closest three." Aerith crosses the room and takes his hand, squeezing it gently and leaning down to kiss his cheek. She smells of strawberries and cream and he has an idea that particular treat helped cause this sudden enthusiasm for picnics. "Get ready and we'll wait for you."

"Fine," he says, and it's more of a grumble than a groan this time, and she lets go of his hand and walks out, taking Yuffie with her, so he hauls himself up and tries to do something with his hair and wonders why he suddenly has this urge to kiss Aerith.

Maybe it's just for the taste of strawberries and cream and bright sunny days.

Maybe not.
