• good times | @tsengofshinra​

And he’s there, like always when the sun barely starts to rise, before his secretary seats herself with a yawn and starts the routine of the day. Usually, Tseng is there too in the early dawn of a day, but he’s been away for too long. The coffee aroma brought on only by him is absent and though the walls are thick in the building he could always manage to pick up on the fragrance—as if it bled into the very framework. It reminds him of early mornings with the man when he was due to dress his bandages and be sure his medicines were taken care of.

This was Tseng; coffee and wisdom, a concoction that he deeply respected.

Rufus had glanced up from his paperwork to see the silhouette on the other side, pausing only briefly until the frosted glass gave way to the vision of the Turk. There’s a small smile, it still is too early to put forth any other emotion other than a stoic display, but Tseng managed to break it.

He watches the steam swirl and cascade around the rim of the cup and he gives a nod to his response. “I don’t usually ask for a coffee date. They always just… happen. It seems you’re too busy to pencil me in these days.” He jests, his tone light. A finger laces around the handle and he brings the distinct brand that Tseng brews to his lips.

“Just like always.” He murmurs, lifting his eyebrows in a gesture of thanks.

The Turk lets a small smirk wind to the corner of his lip at the President’s quips. “I’m always too busy doing your work, sir.” He replies, with more playfulness in his tone than he would allow with near anyone else.

After so many years at Rufus’ side, his demeanor could shift slightly. He could become a little more comfortable. That was allowed for both of them in these moments, these rare and bright moments when the world had barely begun to stir around them.

He settled into the chair across the President’s desk, setting down the folder he had carried in tucked under his arm and setting it to the side. Mission debriefing details, but it was hardly something they needed to dive into immediately.

“Has there been anything cataclysmic while I was absent?”

& who could tell them now – out in the world, / its plethorae of arc-lights, halogens, discos – / those lighthouse children with listening eyes
you might see them still, if you’re careful / on city-hall or tower-block stairways, left / foot tiptoed on an absent stiletto from years / navigating anti-clockwise tight spiral stairs: / or find them when everyone’s gone 
and you’ll know them in truth for children / of the rocks, for they’ll have preset / the Xerox’s counter right up to the thousand, / lid-up and nothing on the glass, eyelids / numb on the margin of sleep as the phasings / of light take them home to the beam-room again.

Bow down to the princess.

But seriously? I’m utterly shocked at how successful this blog is. I didn’t think I’d attract a crowd, considering I don’t see a lot of people talk about Yuffie, nevermind in a positive light– but yet here we all are! It’s been such a wonderful experience getting to write as this young woman, and it’s my hope that she (as well as I! ) can continue to entertain you further.

I’m so thankful for the friendships I’ve made here & those Yuffie has been able to make as well, and it’s my hope going forward that we continue making bonds, to continue to grow. 

This isn’t a one sided process– I wouldn’t be here without all of you, after all! & I hope this little note is a nice reminder that you are appreciated & loved. 

& here’s your favorite shoutout section! ( & my apologies in advance if i forgot someone! )

  • ‘ To think the likes of you walk the earth. Who spawns you freaks? ’
  • ‘ True Evil is something you can barely imagine, even if you believe nothing can still surprise you. And sometimes True Evil seizes you by the throat and demands that you choose between it and another, slightly lesser, Evil. ’
  • ‘ I’m looking for general truths. And I’ve found one: lesser evils exist, but we can’t choose them. ’
  • ‘ You’re standing on a flagstone running with blood, alone and so very lonely because you can’t choose, but you had to. ’
  • ‘ Why are you looking at me like that? Yes, I deceived you. I’ll deceive anyone if I have to, why should you be special? ’

  • ‘ They’re not too crazy about me here. They might insult me and throw stones - or do something worse. ’
  • ‘ Hold me. Tighter. I’m not made of china. ’
  • ‘ It’s almost as though you thought a scorpion were prettier than a spider, because it’s got such a lovely tail. ’
  • ‘ What’s this all about, ____? If it’s a game, I don’t know the rules. ’

  • ‘ You’d pay any price. You’d lick my boots. And maybe something else, too, if I unexpectedly wished to amuse myself. ’
  • ‘ You have to pay. For your insolence, for the cold way you look at me, for the eyes which fish for every detail, for your stony face and sarcastic tone of voice. ’
  • ‘ To put it simply, you stated that a self-respecting man shouldn’t ever call a professional harlot a whore because it’s base and repugnant, while using the word whore to describe a woman one has never knocked off or paid any money for doing so, is childish and punishable. ’
  • ‘ I don’t like grand words. I’m greatly, shall we say, fascinated by her/him. ’
  • ‘ I’d have expected anything but to… What made you do it, ___ ? Why… Why me?’
  • ‘ You’ve condemned yourself. Condemned yourself to me. ’
  • ‘ I don’t like grand words, and it’s impossible to give it a name without using grand words. ’
