Summary: The date was left to chance, but for Squall, what seemed to be a cause for dismay, truly turned out to be something that made the anniversary of his marriage to his beautiful ninja all the more special. Squffie, Complete (bad summary) Rated R-Mild NC-17

Squall held out his hand to the woman he loved as the string intro began to play over the speakers in the great ballroom in Radiant Garden. As he felt the warmth of Yuffie's smaller hand join his own, he couldn't help but to remember how it was that their anniversary had come to fall on this very date…


-December 11th 2005-

"Squall come on! You gotta help me choose a date." Yuffie groused with her hands on her hips, but she couldn't hold back the small smile that played across her lips as she turned her dusky violet gaze on him.

"Yu, I don't mind when the wedding will be. Only thing that matters to me is that you accepted." He replied, looking up from the now razor sharp blade his beloved gunblade as he wiped away the debris caused by sharpening it.

"Well I don't know what to choose. I want you to be a part of this too and we need to know so Aerith, Kairi, and Tifa will know how long they have to plan…and what season to plan it for."

His gunblade was placed on a nearby table as he reached out for her, pulling her back to sit in his lap. He couldn't help but to chuckle when she mumbled something about him distracting her by being all 'lovey-dovey' with her. "You know I'm not good at this kind of thing." He said softly as he kissed her exposed shoulder and looked at the year-at-glance calendar next to her dartboard.

"I know Squallie. I don't care when we get married either, but we do have to set a date. Invitations have to go out and arrangements have to be made…Aerith was MADE for these kinds of things, I gotta give her some sort of timeline to work with."

Squall sighed and looked at the twelve months on the wall across from him. The only thing that he was against was having the wedding in the middle of summer (thought he wouldn't voice his opinion on that.) It was bad enough that he would have to wear a tuxedo, he wasn't about to suffer a heat stroke from having to do it in the hottest part of the year.

"Tell ya what," Yuffie picked up a dart and twisted it through her fingers. "how bout this? We both take three darts and we have three shots. Whatever date one of the darts lands on will be the date that we set our wedding for. We leave it to fate."

Squall nodded slowly. "What if it lands on a line between dates?"

The ninja shook her head. "Won't count. Rules will be:
One: No aiming, two: No do-overs. You can only re-throw if it does not stick.
Three: If there is more than one date that the dart lands on, we go with the one date that comes first. Four: If it lands on the white area around the actual calendar, it still counts as a throw. If we both miss all three shots and it doesn’t land on a date, we go again.

Got it?" The ninja asked. "We'll fill the holes later."

"Got it. Should we take turns, or each do our three shots at the same time?"

"You mean like you do your three first and I do my three second, or just do a dart-throwin' free-for-all?"

"Former." Squall mumbled against her shoulder, his hand coming to rest on her toned stomach. He knew that his Yu was happy when he could be affectionate like this with her. He was still somewhat shy about it around their friends, but the love he held for her was making it easy to override any embarrassment or shyness he felt.

"Okay! So do you want to go first, or should I?" Yuffie asked as she stood and grabbed five darts. Three were given to her fiancée as the other two joined the one she already possessed. She moved to stand in front of the calendar.

"I'm gonna do it with my eyes closed or I'll feel like I'm aiming." She said and closed her eyes. He watched as she did a few test motions with her wrist before letting the first dart go, quickly followed by the second and then the third.

The first landed on the white area next to the month of April. The second caused Squall to wince as it pierced the date of August 18th…in the dead heat of summer. The third dart caused his eyebrow to arch, impressed by the fact that she had managed to hit dead center between the dates of the 7tth & 8th and the 14th&15th of June with her eyes closed, even if it didn't count.

Dusty lilac eyes opened and she looked at the one date that she did manage to hit. "Okay so August 18th so far. Your turn, Squall.'' She said and pulled him to his feet and took a seat in the chair he had vacated.

Squall threw the three darts rapidly, not thinking about where he was throwing in order to be fair, but his eyes remained open. It was then that the usually unflappable Squall "Leon" Leonhart went pale as a squeak was heard behind him.

"Squall!"

"Those were practice throws." He said and went forward to remove the darts, but was stopped by a grinning ninja.

"No, no, no! You can't do that, Squallie-boy! It's against the rules." The ninja said and looked at the Calendar.

"You managed to hit two dates and the wall! Now you just wait right there buddy…" She walked over the calendar and pointed to the date latest in the year. "You hit here on November 4the for your first shot. You hit the wall with the second. My shot hit on August 18th. If we stop there, we would be married on that day but your last shot…" She pointed to the dart that was very close to the line, but still within the white area on the date in question.

"You can only blame yourself, my sexy gunblade master. According to the rules, we're getting married on that date because it comes first!" She giggled and grabbed a sharpie, pulling the cap off the red pen to circle the date.

Squall frowned and allowed a sigh to escape his lips as she placed the tip of the marker on the white surface. "Yuffie…"

"Nope! You had a chance to suggest a date and help me choose, but you didn't." She said. "It's too late now."

Stormy blue eyes watched as the ninja circled the date and sighed before pulling her back against his chest, his chin resting on the top of her head. "Fine…We'll set the date for February 14th. Tell Aerith NO pink, NO hearts and NO cupids."

"You got it!" Yuffie said and turned, wrapping her arms around his waist. His own came to wrap around her, his thumb rubbing at a small patch of exposed skin on her lower back before she leaned up and placed a kiss on his lips. She pulled back and gazed up to her fiancée. "I don't look good in pink anyway and those little cupid things are creepy!"

Squall moved back to the chair he had been sitting in and sat, pulling her into his lap. "Any other dire decisions that need to be made before you call Aerith?" He asked as she placed a few soft kisses along his jaw bone. The happiness radiating off his lover was infectious, causing him to smile.

"Mmhmm. Just one thing for now, the colors. Any suggestions or preferences? We need two to make the theme." She asked, wondering if he was willing to leave something like this to another game of chance, seeing as to what it got him last time.

Squall thought about it for a moment and nodded. "Hmm…Taking into consideration the day that we're getting married, I am willing to make a concession on one of the colors."

"What color do you want, Squall?"

"I'd be content with a dark red."

"Ooh…dark red…that would look really good with ivory." She said and looked up to him. "How does that sound?"

"Its fine with me. I know that you'll look beautiful in any color." He admitted.

"Aww, you're so sweet!" She laughed and kissed his lips once more. "Well, I better give Aerith a call. She's gonna kill me anyway when she finds out she'll only have two months and 3 days to plan a wedding." She pulled her cell phone out of a small pocket in her shorts.

Squall listened to the conversation that his ninja had soon heard the scream on the other end of the line. He shook his head and knew that he was going to be in for a long two months…

-End Flashback-

Valentine's day. One year ago today, he had made the little ninja he loved his wife and today was the day that they would celebrate along side their friends and family. It was decided that their party would be for everyone to celebrate the 'holiday' as well as the day they exchanged their vows. Like their wedding, everything was decked out in crimson and white. There were a few hearts, but absolutely no cupids or pink. Everyone in attendance wore white, various shades of darker reds and black from the suits and slacks worn by most of the men.

"Mr. And Mrs. Leonhart, congratulations on your first year of marriage. May you have an lifetime of joyous days to come." The MC's voice came over the speakers as Squall and Yuffie stood in the center of the dance floor.

Squall wrapped his arm around his beautiful wife, taking her hand in his. "You look beautiful tonight." He said and smiled a bit when she blushed and thanked him, flashing him a bright smile. "Listen carefully to the words, Yu…"

Lately you've been questioning
If I still see you the same way
Cause through these trying years
We gonna both physically change
Now don't you know you you'll always be
The most beautiful woman I know
So let me reassure you darlin that
My feelings are truly unconditional

See, I'll love you when your hair turns gray
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change, No

I was meant for you and you were meant for me yeah
And I'll make sure that I'll be everything you need
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change

Yuffie looked up into the blue-gray eyes of her husband and saw the love that made her simply fall in love with him all over again. She did exactly as he asked and listened to the rest of the words to the song as they glided over the dance floor.

*-*

The warm voice began pouring through the speakers as Squall and Yuffie begin to move across the floor. Their friends watched with smiles as they danced across the floor, not failing to notice how Squall pulled her closer as the song continued. They had always known that it was only a matter of time before Squall and Yuffie took their relationship to the next level. It was something that everyone hoped for because it was obvious that they needed one another.

*-*

Cause, I'm not impressed
more or less
By them girls in the T.V and magazines
Cause honestly I believe that your beauty
Is way more than skin deep
Cause everything about you makes me feel
I have the greatest gift in the world
And even when you get on my last nerve
I couldn't see myself being with another girl

Yuffie couldn't help but to laugh at the last couple lines of the verse. "I knew you loved it when I drove you crazy!"

Squall chuckled and nodded. "You certainly don’t make our life together dull by any means and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've loved you for a long time Yu, and like the song says, I can't see myself being with another girl either. You're the one that I want to spend the rest of my days with…"

"Squall…" She started, her voice wavering with emotion.

"It's true. You know Aerith, she is the Queen of things like this but she made me choose a song that we would dance to. I had no clue as to what to choose. I finally broke down when Sora, Riku and Kairi came to visit last month. They actually were the ones who suggested this song and when I listened to the words, I knew that it would say what I felt about you and our marriage.

"You asked me something a few months ago when had our first major argument…"

"You mean when I asked you if you regretted marrying me?" She asked quietly.

"Yeah…I never regretted it. I never will. No matter how bad things get, I will never willingly give you up." He reached up and wiped away the tear that fell from her eye.

"Gods, how is it that you can make me fall for you over and over again?" She laughed as the song's bridge began to play.

So, Don't waste your time worrying about
Small things that ain't relevant to me
Cause to my understanding
your all I want and need
See, what I'm trying to say
is that I'm here to stay
And as long as your love doesn't change anyway
Baby, baby darling I swear that I,
I swear I ain't going nowhere, no

Yuffie listened to the words of the bridge and felt her heart skip. She couldn't believe how deep the lyrics were and the fact that her love had chosen this to express how he truly felt about her. As the song drew to a close, she wrapped her hands behind his neck as he came down and kissed her deeply. They didn't notice the hoots and cheers of their friends and all those who came to celebrate their anniversary and the holiday that was meant for love.

The kiss broke but their eyes locked once they drifted open. Smiles traced their lips as Yuffie brought her hand to his cheek.

"Happy Anniversary Yu…"

"Happy Anniversary Squall…my drop dead gorgeous and sexy hubby…" Squall laughed and pressed his lips to his wife's once more as couples joined them on the dance floor for the next dance.

o-o-o-o

Squall waved to Cloud and Aerith as they headed off to their own home. He closed the door and immediately moved to loosen the black silk tie before undoing the small red top button of his shirt. Their home was quiet and dark as he headed for the bedroom where he knew he could find his little ninja.

Yuffie looked up from massaging her bare foot and gave the russet haired man a smile. "I'm exhausted and if I never see another pair of heels again, it will just be too soon. I'll be perfectly happy wearin' sneakers for the rest of my life." She said as Squall placed his jacket on the window seat, his tie and shirt soon following before taking a seat next to her.

"Well just be glad that we don’t have to dress up very often." He said and pulled her foot into his lap, massaging her arch deeply and causing her to moan. "You had fun though, admit it."

"Mmm…I did. We got to spend our anniversary with our friends not only celebrating our marriage, but their relationships too. I'm glad your dart landed on today." She said with a grin as Squall chuckled and tickled her foot, causing her to pull back and hop from the edge of the bed.

She blew a raspberry at him and moved to the dresser and pulled out her nightgown and hid a small box within the silk. Yuffie winked at her husband before heading into the bathroom and partially closing the door. She reached behind her and unzipped the red dress that she had donned for their special day, hanging it up on one of the towel racks for now. The ninja emerged shortly after wearing nothing but the little black gown, carrying a small wrapped box. Violet eyes watched as Squall stood with his back to her, removing his pants and socks, leaving him clad in a pair of black silk boxers. When he turned, she saw that he too had a small wrapped box of his own.

Yuffie climbed onto their bed and was immediately pulled into Squall's arms to rest between his legs and against his chest. The ninja plucked his hand from her flat tummy and brought it before her, palm up, placing the gift in his hand. "Open mine first." She said quietly and made herself comfortable against his strong body.

Squall removed the wrapping paper on the white box and kissed the top of her head as he pulled the lid of and felt his heart still in his chest. "Yuffie…."

The ninja smiled and ran her fingers over his arm. "I remember you told me about a watch like this. You said you remembered your 'sis' telling you how your mother had a watch like this that belonged to your father. I saw this at an antique shop near the castle and had to get it for you. It's even engraved."

Squall opened the handsome antique pocket watch and looked at the engraving, reading it aloud. "To my beloved husband on our first anniversary. With all my love, Yuffie." The gunblade master grasped her chin and pressed his lips to hers in a deep, passionate kiss. He doesn't let her go without nipping at her full lower lip. "Thank you, love. Its perfect." He said, truly touched that she remembered the story he told her about Ellone, his 'Sis' and the pocket watch shortly after they started dating.

"My turn?" The ninja asked.

"Your turn." He confirmed with a smile and handed her the box.

He watched as she untied the ribbon from her box and watched a she gasped and ran her fingers over the platinum curved journey diamond pendant necklace.

"Squall! This is beautiful!" She cried as she carefully removed it from the box. The seven diamonds shimmered in the soft light that filled their bedroom. "I love it!"

"I'm glad." The gunblade master smiled and plucked it from the box. She automatically lifted her silken ebony locks and turned, allowing him to hook the platinum necklace around her neck. She turned to him and smiled, the pendant resting against the lightly tanned skin, the last gem resting just barely between her perky, silk covered breasts.

Yuffie noticed the darkened look in her husband's eyes as he gazed at where the pendant lie. A smirk traced her lips as she pushed him back, surprising him out of his stupor as she moved to straddle his hips. His hands came up and grasped her hips, confirming what he felt through his boxers; there was no tell-tale panty line kissing her curves.

The ninja rocked lightly against him, biting her lip when she heard the small groan of pleasure that escaped his lips. Squall brought his hand up to her breasts, gently caressing her mounds through the silken fabric. "It really does look beautiful on you…" He said huskily before reaching down to the bottom hem of her nightgown and pulling it over her head. It was tossed to the side, landing in a pool on the soft beige carpet. "even more so now…"

The gunblade master wrapped his arms around his wife and in a quick, fluid movement, Yuffie found herself looking up to her love. A smile traced her lips as he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, nipping lightly at her lower lip before their tongues dueled lightly. Soft moans filled the room as Squall slowly kissed along her cheek bringing his hand up to cup her breast as he continued south.

Yuffie gasped and arched from the soft mattress when she felt his mouth close around her caramel peak. Fingers twisted within his brown locks, as he lapped and teased her nipple before switching to the other. "Oh Squall…" She whimpered as she felt his hand tracing over her bare form and down to her hip.

He could never get enough of her. The sound of her voice when she cried our or moaned his name…The scent of her arousal as it surrounded them, causing his desire to spike…The flushed pinkness that her skin adopted was simply beautiful. She was his addiction, a habit that he never wished to break.

Squall mapped the soft skin of her breasts and flat, toned stomach as he made his way down her body. Shapely thighs were caressed with calloused fingers and slightly kiss-swollen lips as he slowly moved to her center. Her breathing was becoming rapid and harsh as his blue eyes met the darkened lilac of his lover. A smirk traced his lips as he tasted her sex causing her to cry out.

"Oh gods Squall!!"

He knew how to play her body like a finely tuned instrument and he was determined to make her body sing like a finely tuned violin. Fingers slid in and out of her womanhood as he caressed her pearl with his lips and tongue. Yuffie trembled and writhed from this exquisite torture until the dam holding back her peak broke, causing her climax to crash down on her.

Yuffie brought a shaking hand up and ran it through his dark locks as he moved up her body. She could feel his need for her when his cloth-covered length brushed against her thigh. "Please Squall…" The ninja whispered before pressing her lips to his, tasting her passion on his lips. Her eyes opened after a moment before their kiss broke, their lips a hairsbreadth apart. "I need you…"

Squall nodded with a small smile as he pressed his lips against lightly as he felt her hands tug at the hem of his boxers. They made short work of the obstructing fabric, tossing it to join her nightgown on the floor and the sound of Yuffie's laughter reached his ears as she wrapped her arms around him and fell back into the pillows, bringing him to rest between her parted thighs. Gazing down into his wife's beautiful face, the gunblade wielder realized just how lucky he was.

Those thoughts immediately fled his mind as his breath caught in his throat when he felt her smaller hand wrap around his maleness. His hips thrust forward as she teased him, coaxing a soft groan from his lips.

"Mmm…Yu…"

He felt his love place him tat the entrance of her body. He watched as she nodded once before slowly siding into her body. They both gasped as they came together as one, the simple act of their joining caused her canal to ripple around his shaft as she was rocked by a small orgasm. Squall gritted his teeth against the wonderful sensation, but managed to hold back.

Once her body calmed strong, narrow hips pulled back and paused for a moment before starting up a slow rhythm. Yuffie brought her arms up and wrapped them around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. Their bodies move together in perfect harmony. Kisses, caresses, moans and pleas slipped from the lips of both husband and wife. The spiraling tightness in their abdomens grew tighter; their hearts pounded furiously in their chests: both knew they would not last much longer. Without warning, Squall pushed his hips forward and in one fluid movement, rolled onto his back.

"Squall…" Yuffie moaned as she settled on his length, the bond of their souls and bodies never breaking. She rolled her hips and watched as her husband's lips fell open in a silent 'oh' of pleasure.

His hands gripped her hips as he urged her to go faster. He thrust upwards rapidly, his eyes drifting to from her eyes to the beautiful pendant that was bouncing in time with their movements hypnotically. The tightening in his pelvis broke when she tossed her head back in ecstasy and screamed her release. Feeling her body convulse around him, caused a groan to escape his lips as he erupted within her, filling her welcoming body with his seed. Yuffie collapsed onto his chest, breathing heavily as she trembled against his body, separating only when nature did the job for them.

o-o

They consummated their love for one another twice more before finally collapsing, exhausted but extremely happy. Blue-gray eyes caught a glimpse of the beside clock. It was just a little after four in the morning and his body was screaming for rest, but he wouldn't give in…not yet. There was something he had to say.

"Yu…"

"Hmm? Wass wrong?" She slurred as she snuggled against him.

He couldn't help but to smile at his sleepy wife. "Nothing's wrong…" His hand traced over her back beneath the blanket. "Happy Anniversary…and happy Valentines day, my wife."

Sleepy eyes opened as she smiled before pecking his lips. "Happy Anniversary and Happy Valentines day to you too, my husband."

Squall wrapped his arm around her tightly and gave a content sigh. As he heard his little ninja's breathing evened out, he couldn't fight his need for rest and joined his wife in slumber.

-o-o-Authors Notes-o-o-

Wow…its been a really long time since I wrote anything with these two. I hope you all enjoyed. Please don’t forget to review. I made this lemon a bit…'tamer' than some of my others.

Even though I don’t believe in it and I don't celebrate it…

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
