ꜰʀɪᴅᴀʏ, ꜱᴇᴘᴛᴇᴍʙᴇʀ 19ᴛʜ, 10:11 ᴘᴍ☔️

you opened the window by your fire escape stairs as you waited for him.

you looked at your phone and yawned, reading the clock.

the cool breeze from outside felt nice, though it still was raining, so it was a bit murky.

you heard your text-tone go off and see;

seph☕️: i'm here

y/n👩‍🚀: come to my fire escape, the windows open

seph☕️: 👍

you saw through the fog of sephiroth's figure climb up to your window on the rickety stairs, a sly smile on his face, but he looked happy to be there.

your heartbeat quickened as he climbed inside your room.

"hey."

"hey.." you smiled back, "you're wet."

"i am, huh?" he shivered.

"i can get you a blanket," you sighed and turned towards your closet when instead he stopped you, wrapping his arms around your waist.

"wa-wait, i'm gonna get all wet now-!" you whispered, trying to keep your voice down to not wake your dad up.

"i missed you.."

"but we saw each other a few hours ago?"

"i don't care. still missed you."

"you, sir, are clingy," you leaned back into him, "but sweet."

"mhm.." he said as he backed up, and turned to close your window, as the rain was starting to come in.

he huffed and began to take off his shirt, chuckling now as he noticed, "awh, you're wearing my sweatshirt. do you like me that much, cutie?"

you felt your face redden as you choked up, "i-i.."

"no? then i guess i'll just take it back.." his hands moved from your waist and up, as he began to pull it up, but you grabbed it and pulled it down hardly and quickly.

"n-no!!"

"oh? and what's wrong?" he leaned in, a devious shine on his face.

you shivered and muttered, "...i-i'm..not wearing anything under it..."

he froze, "..oh."

you scoffed and threw a blanket on him, "so don't you get sick.."

he wrapped himself in it, "so.."

you giggled "soooooo, what's up?"

he dropped onto your bed, the frame making a loud squeak, "shhhh! my dads sleeping.."

he laughed, as he wrapped himself like a burrito, "it's your bed that's making all the noise, not me."

you sat next to him on your bed, rolling your eyes at him.

sephiroth chuckled lowly as he suddenly threw his arms around you and wrapped you in with him in the blanket.

"i got you."

"oh no, whatever shall i do?" you stuck your tongue out at him as he rested his head on the top of yours.

when your phone vibrated you tried to wiggle out of his hold to reach for it, but he only tightened his grip on you, "no."

"seph, let me get my phone."

"no. mine."

you turned your head at him, giving him a raised eyebrow as you managed to wriggle yourself out of the blanket-trap.

"noooooo," he whined as you unlocked your phone to look at the snapchat notifications you got from both tifa and vincent.

tifa sent you streaks that had a selfie of her and a girl with dark brown hair, a messily sprawled across both of them as they laid in bed in their pjs.

you could only assume that this was tifa's girlfriend, as the brown haired girl was kissing her cheek with her eyes shut, though you weren't one hundred percent sure.

tifa was winking at the camera with the caption: sleepover streaks!! night guys!<3

"that's aerith," sephiroth mumbled from your shoulder that he was resting his head on as he laid his body on you, "you'd get along with her, she's a very nice girl..who doesn't particularly like me either."

"wha-why?" you titled your head as he now sat up back at your level.

"because..let's just say i wasn't the best person to her and most people a few years back.." he looked to the ground.

you gave him a sympathetic look, "oh..i'm sorry seph, did i overstep?"

his eyes widened for a second as a warm smile creeped on his face, "no, no, don't apologize..you know i'm glad i have you, y/n, you keep me from being a complete asshole to everyone, and everyone thinks i'm an asshole anyways though so i guess it doesn't really matter, huh?"

you shook your head, which you then laid on his shoulder, "...well, that's not what i think, sephi.."

he laid his head over yours, wrapping you both in the blanket again, "that's a new nickname..but thanks y/n.."

you nodded as you hugged him fully, "mhm.."

after a minute of hugging or so, with you curling your fingers in his long hair, and him rubbing invisible circles into your back, you sent streaks back to tifa and you checked the video vincent sent you.

it was a video of him singing and playing an amazing electric guitar cover of you're not alone by saoism.

you sent a snap back of your ceiling and the caption:
omg vincent spare some talent for me pls

he quickly snapped back with a shot of his amp, his LED lights on red:
no 🖤

you turned to sephiroth, "so what do u wanna do?"

"up to you, n/n."

you blushed at the use of the nickname, "uh we can play mario kart?"

- - -

after about 4 rounds of mario kart, you two were locked in a tie that you were both going to settle with one last race.

you were playing as yoshi and he was playing as waluigi, all the while you two were sharing earbuds listening to everybody wants to rule the world by tears for fears from sephiroth's mysterious playlist, as the tv couldn't have sound anyways because of your dad.

as you won the final round, you punched the air, quietly cheering, "yes!! take that, sephi!"

"oh please, i let you win," he huffed.

"mhm, mhm," you poked his cheek, "you're just a sore loser! now will you let me see what this playlist is about?"

you had inquired about it before, but he never dished, so you figured a friendly competition would get it out of him and he surprisingly agreed.

"yup," he popped the 'p' as he put his arm around your waist, as he pulled you closer, you now being practically on his lap, the blanket slouching off of you two.

"sephiroth?" you questioned, though he didn't respond.

he took his phone and put up the volume, you now clearly seeing the playlist title...

for y/n..<3

and when you turned back to face him, about to ask what it meant, his lips were already locked on yours.

<3

you were frozen in your spot, your eyes wide as he kissed you, but when his hands made their way onto the back of your head and he dipped you slightly, you couldn't help but find comfort in the kiss.

you melted into his touch, as you wrapped your arms around his neck, your fingertips glazing over his silk-soft skin.

this kiss, though your first, was the first thing in a long time that made you feel at peace.

his hands stroked soothingly at your hair, as you kissed him back.

- - -

sephiroth released for air, panting, his longing look being returned to him by you.

"n/n..was that..okay?" he asked as he moved a stray piece of hair and tucked it behind your ear.

you responded by pecking him lightly again, "yes."

he pressed his forehead against yours, his thoughts spiraling, not believing it just happened.

"thank fucking god.."

you laughed your pretty laugh and he joined in.

he kissed the corner of your mouth.

"i've been wanting to do that since the beginning."

you giggled but your cheeks were red, and he smiled as he watched your cover your face, embarrassed.

"nope, don't hide that pretty face of yours, i still gotta kiss it some more."

he was leaning over you on his elbows at that point, taking in the moment, as you rolled to your side to hide your face, softly giggling.

he rolled over onto his side and managed to pry your hands off your face, and his own replacing them, bringing your face close enough for him to kiss you again...

and again..

and again..

and again.....
