Final Fantasy VII fan fiction. Jessie x Tifa.
***
"Hey! Hey, Tifa!"
Jessie called out to the dark-haired woman, raising a hand in the air as she gave a jolly wave in her direction. Running up to the bar counter, Jessie placed both palms onto the polished surface, as her amber hues cast a gaze onto the barmaid before her.
"Soooo, when's the next mission?" Jessie checked, tilting her head to one side as her brunette ponytail swayed gently with the motion. "I mean, whenever, really! I'm just really hyped at the moment. I wanna kick some Shinra ass right about now, you know?"
"H-huh?"
Damn, Jessie was so loud at this time!
Tifa was still trying to wake up this morning, it didn't help that she had a pounding headache from the night before. And then, Jessie came in shooting her mouth off like it was nothing! Tifa was rubbing the side of her head when Jessie bust in through the wooden double doors. She was surprised at how energetic Jessie appeared to be at this time, until Tifa actually looked at the timer. Stunned for a moment, Tifa realised it was already past noon. Oh boy, Tifa slept in quite a bit. She gave a small smile to Jessie and shrugged her shoulders simply.
"I'm not sure when the next mission is, honestly. Barret might want to hold off for a few days before trying to blow up the next reactor," mentioned Tifa, finally responding.
"What's up, Tifa?" Jessie questioned, eyes widening with surprise.
Placing the palms of her hands onto her hips, Jessie glanced Tifa downwards and then up. She let out a little snicker at the hand rubbing Tifa's head.
"You look bummed. Maybe you should close the bar for a little while and lay down? One day ain't gonna hurt, you know," suggested Jessie.
But then, Jessie's torso leaned over the bar counter, enough to move her face inward a little more, until her nose was just a breath away from Tifa's.
"Maybe I could come with you, Tifa? You know, just you and me at your place!" Jessie flirted, giving a wink to the barmaid.
Tifa thought the idea wasn't too bad, she did want to rest. But what she really wanted was a nice hot bath. She blushed lightly at the mention of her and Jessie spending time alone together. She bit her bottom lip before nodding her head.
"S-sure, but I was gonna take a bath first, if you want to join me?" Tifa asked, hoping.
Stepping out from behind the counter, Tifa approached Jessie and stood less than a foot away from her. Crimson hues glanced at Jessie's torso armour, down to those combat trousers, and then to her boots, observing her outfit. Damn, doesn't Jessie ever feel hot in all that armour?!
"Me, join?" Jessie repeated, a toothy grin suddenly appearing across her rims. "I can't believe you just offered that, Avalanche leader!" Jessie quipped, placing her index fingertip onto her bottom lip, she began to tap her lip gently a few times while intoning a curious 'hmm'. "What exactly would we be doing in this bath? Just washing ourselves and relaxing? Either way, I can't wait!"
Right now, Jessie wanted to push everyone out of the bar, albeit this establishment was much like a ghost town at this point. The jukebox was playing a trendy tune at least, but nobody other than Tifa and Jessie to listen to the music. Averting her gaze over her shoulder, Jessie observed the closed double doors in the near distance, and then the four bare bench tables. She sighed.
"Want me to help you close this place, Tifa?"
Tifa smirked as her interaction with Jessie was helping to clear up her clouded mind.
"Of course, we would just relax with each other in the bath. Although, maybe we should get nice and sweaty before we get into the bath," she mused out loud while moving over to the entrance of the bar.
Luckily, it was just the two of them here in this establishment. Instead of heading back to Tifa's place, she wanted to stay right here in the bar. Tifa hit the switch situated by the door, causing the lights to dim. Tifa made her way to the double doors and locked them shut before she flipped the sign to 'closed.'
Tifa looked back at Jessie and approached her once again. "For some reason, I want to pin you down onto the counter and kiss you," Tifa mentioned straightforwardly, blushing lightly at this confession. "Unless, you really want to take that bath first?" Tifa checked, a twinkle showing in her eye.
