PRISON

Vaan groaned lightly as he woke, he was laying on sand. It confused him for a second before he remembered. He had been caught, how amateurish. He was inwardly relieved that Balthier, the Skypirate with a bounty on his head, had been caught as well.

"You're awake," said Balthier from his perch of stone.

"Where are we?" asked Vaan looking around.

"Prison, where else?" said Balthier. "More a dungeon, but it's really all the same."

Vaan slowly stood and took a proper look round, the place was old. He stepped back and stumbled over something.

"It's just a corpse," dismissed Balthier as Vaan stared at it with a frown. "Jump at every little thing down here and you'll wear yourself out. It's not even a proper dungeon. They just sealed off the bottom level of the fortress. Take a look around. We're not the first they've thrown down here."

"Where's Fran?" asked Vaan not seeing her in the alcove.

"She's off trying to find us a way out," said Balthier.

There was a scream, Vaan turned to the doorway.

"Remember what curiosity killed. Just a friendly word of advice," said Balthier.

"This is all the water we've got," said Balthier as he held up a half full water skin. "I'd save your strength if I were you," he added.

Vaan nodded and head toward the doorway.

"You know what people do to pretty boys that walk around prisons," said Balthier with a slight warning in his voice.

Vaan looked back over his shoulder before turning and walking up to Balthier.

"You want to be one of those 'people'?" he asked, he said it as if he was offering Balthier a glass of wine or some other trivial thing.

Balthier was quiet for a second, was Vaan proposing what he thought he was. In his moment of quiet, Vaan stepped up and placed himself firming on Balthier's lap.

"Vaan," started Balthier sternly.

"Yeah?" said Vaan rocking his hips slowly.

"Stop that," said Balthier with tried patience.

"Push me off," shrugged Vaan as he curled his leg round Balthier's waist.

Balthier did but only to push Vaan to the sandy ground and pull at his clothes. Vaan casually hung his arms around Balthier's neck as the Skypirate freed them both. Only once Balthier was in position did Vaan take part, moving with Balthier. Kissing and licking; panting as Balthier trust and clawing Balthier's back as they came. As Balthier made to leave, Vaan gripped Balthier's hips with his legs and brought his mouth to Balthier's ear.

"This is it," he panted softly. "There is nothing else for us."

Balthier was still as Vaan freed himself. He righted his clothes as Vaan sorted himself and left as he had originally indented. He sat back down heavily, he hated to admit it but he was disappointed. He liked Vaan, he didn't love him but a once off was harder than nothing at all.
