Charming
Because FFXII is made of awesome (I can't beat the Judges though… how unfortunate.), and Balthier X Vaan is my new favorite pairing.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
"Say, do you require some help with that, Vaan?"
Vaan shook his head as he gripped the edges of the large, heavy box. Yes, he needed help, but he wasn't going to get it from Balthier of all people. He'd prefer Basch over the pirate any day.
"It looks rather heavy…" Balthier continued, smirking as Vaan inhaled and exhaled in effort. He knew that the teenager wouldn't be able to resist him for long. Even Penelo had a small crush on him for a while.
"I'm…fine…!" Vaan grunted as the box threatened to break his lightly muscled arms. Balthier chuckled to cover up his annoyance at how long Vaan was holding up. His plan was beginning to look slightly bleak at this point.
"Vaan, do you need some help?" Basch asked as he looked inside the storage room in the large airship. Vaan nodded, his platinum blonde hair bobbing. Basch then took the box from Vaan with no effort at all, leaving Balthier with a twitching eyebrow. Deciding that his attempted seduction doesn't work, he went with the only other thing he knew got the girl, or guy in his case.
"Vaan, would you like a massage?"
"Are you some kind of pervert?"
And Balthier was shot down again. Vaan then walked to the eating quarters of the airship, Balthier following due to boredom and sadness that his plan wasn't working so far. Vaan, on the other hand, was annoyed that the older man wouldn't leave him alone for just a moment. He was so busy thinking about Balthier, he wasn't exactly watching where he was going and ended up tripping over a pipe that helped the airship's energy source. Balthier, being the quick-thinking pirate, saw this as his chance and instantly grabbed onto Vaan and held him in one arm.
"…" Vaan looked at the situation with a small cocking of the eyebrow.
"Are you okay Vaan?" Balthier attempted to play it off, putting his charm to use.
"…That was so unnecessary." Vaan said finally and he got out of Balthier's grip. Not one to back down at such an open chance, he grabbed Vaan's shoulder and turned him around, quickly pressing his lips to the teen's. Vaan, being too shocked to really do anything, waited until Balthier removed his tongue from down his throat to talk.
"What was that about?" He asked, slightly paranoid now that he knows that one of his more attractive party members will kiss him randomly. Balthier wink and released him, leaning down to whisper in his ear.
"Thief, didn't you know that you stole my heart?"
And Vaan had to resist the urge to gag at the extremely charming but slightly corny line.
END
…
I hope that I'm not the only one who noticed how horribly uke Vaan is (although, I think he got it from his brother) in the game. He always cocks his hips to the side and says some weirdo thing that makes me say "Ukelicious".
He's got GIRLY hips! Axel has a rival, I promise you!
