Notes
Wow, my life is still so busy. I finished my exams, but sports day is coming up…Lotsa training awaits me! I recently had also entered a couple of contests on writing and also I'm writing articles for my school. I'm a busy man, but I thought I might update…
I feel like my writing is degrading lately…Damn it. Anyway, here's a long chapter to make up for a long time no see! Feel free to hit the "Alert" button on the bottom, and support my C2 community!
Sorry once again, the first part seems very good to me, since it was inspired, but I lost inspiration halfway through. So the part after that was from my notes and forced imagination…So it might feel rushed and crappy…Sorry! And I may not update as much, especially since the contest deadline is coming up…I need to focus on that.
V – A Binding Situation
Beads of sweat were pouring from his head, he was panting, clearly shocked, surprised and mostly…fearful.
"So, Hope…I'd like to hear ALL about what's been happening these past few days, and why you pushed me off a cliff." Lightning said calmly. But the silent menace in her voice was painfully obvious for the boy under her.
"U-um, what are you perhaps talking about…Light?" Hope said nervously. He yelped as she moved her hand to place the gun blade right at his throat.
"Let us not play this game, Hope…I'd like a detailed account of what happened." She said; the calm tone of her voice made it all the more torturous for Hope.
"Light, please! Nothing all that bad happened…Except that maybe…" Hope hesitated, and yelped again as he felt the gun blade prick his throat.
"Okay! Okay! Sigh…" Hope felt utterly miserable. Light smiled and beckoned for him to continue with her eyes.
After a really long recollection of events
Lightning sighed and kept her gun blade pressed to his throat.
"If you were anyone else, this blade would have gone through your throat…" She stopped mid-sentence.
Hope braced himself, shut his eyes and silently prayed. Then, he heard the sound of clattering metal and the feeling of hands touching his face.
She made a little 'Tsk' sound and said, "It's so unfair, Hope…That cute face of yours makes it so hard to be mad at you…"
Her face was red, and the look in her eyes were indescribable…It was a serious, intense look.
But before Hope could take a very good look; their lips met.
'Hope's Perspective'
"Mmmmm….?" I got a shock when I felt something enter my mouth.
I opened my eyes and saw a very deep blue, eyes that I could stare into forever… And then I realized that I was kissing a Lightning Farron, THE Lightning Farron.
I quickly pulled away and got up, panting and my face all red.
"Aww, and it felt so good too…" She pretended to sulk, but she had a playful air about her this fine morning.
At first, I was wondering what happened to her and why she was acting this way…Until it hit me.
"Oh right…That was a dream. But too bad it had to end at the good part…!" I cried inwardly.
I was busy daydreaming that I didn't notice Light right in front of me…
"Mmmm?"
My cries were muffled as she kissed me, and stuffed her tongue into my mouth. Her tongue was slowly exploring my mouth, little by little…Tasting it and savoring it.
I wanted to push her away, I HAD to! But I…I couldn't. How could I? The woman I loved had suddenly come up to me and gave me a passionate kiss!
When she finally pulled away, a thin trickle of saliva stretched from our lips.
"Hope, next time…Please finish what you started, It's not nice to leave a woman waiting you know?" She pouted.
I gave her a blank look and she smiled.
"But wow, Hope... For you to kiss me in my sleep, it was such a pleasant surprise! But you really have to learn to finish what you start…" She said while sighing and blushing at the same time.
Oh, so that's what happened.
For some reason, I felt a sense of regret that I pulled away…
Later
For various reasons, we had to continue our journey through Gran Pulse. But there was a slight problem…
"I'm sorry guys…I don't know what I should do." Lightning said while sobbing.
Lightning was slower than the rest of the group, and whenever we came under attack she hid behind me, somewhat hindering my magic casting.
"Still, this is pretty bad…" Snow commented dryly.
"Well, for now how about we set up another camp for soldier girl? I reckon we'll come up with an idea." Sazh pitched in.
Although we were reluctant, everyone decided it was best to set up camp.
While we were setting up tents and getting a bonfire going for lunch, Lightning sat at a corner and cried silently.
I didn't know what to do, really. Although I really want to comfort her, I have no idea what to say or what to do… I figured I should just be next to her when she's sad so I walked over.
I bent down in front of her and she looked up at me with her face smudged in tears and sobbing the whole time.
She hugged me and cried into my shoulder. I didn't say anything…I merely embraced her, showing her the affection she needs during this moment.
Snow made a wolf whistle while the rest of the party remained silent. I silently stroked her hair until she calmed down.
"Thank you, Hope…I love you." She whispered into my ear affectionately.
I kissed her forehead and helped her up. I take her over to the rest of the party.
"Well, guys…I just had an idea. I had Light try out my boomerang the other day… And let's just say… It didn't work out so well." I scratch my head while remembering the bump behind my head.
The party chuckled while Light looked apologetic and ready to burst into tears once again. Light would kill me if she heard what I'm thinking now when her memories are back, but…She looks unbearably cute right now. Those shimmering eyes on the brink of tears…It's so endearing.
"Right, well guys, please prepare your gear so we can let her try it out, eh?" I say confidently.
"Well, Hope. What about her gun blade?" Sazh inquired.
"Sazh, my man…You saw for yourself what she did with her gun blade earlier right?" I sarcastically commented.
Then I remembered Light could hear me.
"S-so…Hope really thinks I'm useless…Sob…" Light started tearing up and sobbing lightly.
"N-n-no! No I didn't mean that…" I stutter uncontrollably. Lately it's been getting harder to calm her crying.
"Tsk, Tsk… Boy, if you keep making a girl cry like that, you're never going to get laid!" Fang jabbed at me.
"S-shut up Fang!" I shout unconvincingly, my cheeks red hot.
"Light, Light… Don't worry, even if you believe yourself to be useless, we don't. And besides, no matter what happens, I won't leave you…Alright? So please, don't cry. It pains me when you do. Please…For my sake?" I plead and appeal to Lightning.
She merely stared at me with her eyes brimming with tears…But then she smiled afterwards.
"Alright…I'll do it, for you." She kissed me softly.
"Kuh! Damn it bro, I'm so jealous! I wish Serah were here…" Snow complained.
I lifted a hand and blasted him away with an aero spell.
After our little intimate moment, I got up and beckoned everyone over.
"Right, so we'll take turns to teach her how to use out individual weapons. Okay?" I inform everybody with a regal tone.
"Alright! I'll teach sis first. Just let me go get my gloves ready for her." Snow walks off to get his equipment.
While he's doing that, how about I let Light try the boomerang once more…eh?
"Light, here. Try using the boomerang once more." I encouraged her.
She looked at me fearfully.
"B-but, what if I hit you again?" She asked, voice hinting towards slight panic.
"It's alright, now…Try aiming for that tree." I advise her as I pass her my Hawkeye.
She was shivering with panic but she closed her eyes and threw it.
WHACK
It hit Snow smack dab in the head and fell down next to him.
He rubbed his head and turned around.
"Bro, what the hell? Seriously, Hope…What have I ever done to you to deserve this abuse?" Snow pretended to sob.
"Shut up man. Just Hurry up!" I shout.
"Boo-hoo…Alright, alright…" Snow grumbled with fake sobs.
He came back with some enchanted gloves.
Lightning looked at Snow questioningly.
Snow beckoned towards me and she turned her questioning gaze over to me.
"Well, Light, what we're about to do is test your combat capability with differing weapons which we individually use so that you…" I stopped at her utterly clueless look with random Question Marks appearing around her head… She does look really cute that way though!
"To put it in simple terms, we want you to try out using different weapons." I huffed.
"Oh…Okay Dear!" She shouted enthusiastically.
D-dear….? Did she just say…Did she really just say dear?
The whole party looked at me, and it was Fang and Snow's stare that burned into me the most as I turned away in embarrassment.
Light just looks clueless as usual… I can't say I don't like it though, her cluelessness is endearing to me.
"L-light, just put it on and try it out!" I shout unexpectedly out of panic.
She yelped and tears started to gather at her eyes once again.
I instantly regret what I did.
"Oh man, I'm so sorry Light…I didn't mean to shout…" I apologise as I hug her.
She shakes her head and smiles as she puts on the gloves.
"So…I just punch, like this?" She asked as she put out a straight….
SMACK
Snow went flying and landed a few yards away.
"AHHHHHH! SIS!" Snow screamed as he went flying.
BAM
"OWWWWWWWW!" Snow shouted in agony after his dramatic landing.
Apparently, Snow gave her the most powerful gloves in his set.
"O-oh…Uh oh, I better not use these…" Light panicked and put away Snow's gloves.
I beckoned the next person to come out.
"Alright! My turn to teach soldier girl something about guns." Sazh proudly strode out.
"Okay, Soldier girl. You see this right here? This is the trigger…And this…" Sazh trailed off.
I inwardly sighed as I foresaw a failure In this, seeing as to how Light is bending her neck as one does when utterly clueless. She's nodding enthusiastically but I think it's just an act.
"So, I just pull the thingy here, right?" Light said as she pulled the trigger in Sazh's general direction.
POW…WHOOOSH~
The bullet went whizzing through Sazh's Afro as he stumbled backwards.
"WOAH!" Sazh shouted in surprise.
TWEET TWEET!
Chocobo flew out and started chirping angrily. It was definitely NOT happy that a bullet nearly missed it.
"O-oh dear…" Light covered her mouth as she dropped the pistol.
She looked guilty as Sazh got up and calmed the chocobo.
"It's alright soldier girl…We just need time to get used to things…But I guess these guns just aren't good for you no more, eh? Ironic..." Sazh dusted himself off and walked away.
Things aren't looking too good…
Snow and Fang came in to pick up the guns. While at it, Fang passed Light her dual spear.
Light carried it, clueless… And then she dropped it.
"Kyaa!" She cried out cutely as she dropped it.
"Woah! Careful, Light!" I shout as I rush forward.
But Fang beat me to the punch.
She carried Light as if they were dancing and looked her straight in the eye…While the spear fell with a dull "THUD".
"Careful there, Light. You wouldn't want to cut that cute face of yours now, would you?" Fang whispered suggestively and lasciviously.
"Wha…No! No, sorry Ms Yun, buy I don't swing that way! The only one I love is Hope!" Light panicked and flailed her arms as she shouted this.
Fang dramatically let Light lie on the floor and looked away.
"I see…So you love someone else…So be it!" Fang cried dramatically.
I sigh.
"Okay, okay…Break it up and let's get back to business. Fang, spear? Explain please." I hustled everybody.
"Righty-o, Hopey. Okay Light, here's a crash course on using it. First, you hold the middle…" Fang continued to speak excitedly.
Light looked really befuddled with Fang's intricate teaching. This won't end well.
"Okay, so I lift it like…Uh oh." She finished the sentence just as the spear flew out of her hands.
And it was coming…Sailing through the air…Right at me.
"WAAAAAAH!" I shouted out loud.
I fell backwards…
Splurt…
The Spear embedded itself on the ground about an inch away from my "little brother".
"Wha…Wha…." I hyperventilated while I contemplated my luck.
"Hope! Oh no, are you alright!" Light came running over to me with teary eyes.
"Hahaha…I'm fineeee, really Light…." I say slowly, slurring some words due to my panicked state, as if drunk on panic.
She looked apologetic and sad as she stared at my crotch.
Cue Snow and Fang with their wolf whistles. But I ignore them.
"Damn, boy. If that hit the mark, I would really have to pity Light. She won't be able to…Ahem, have fun with you anymore, eh?" Fang chuckled suggestively.
I blush madly but Light was preoccupied with my wellbeing to understand that sentence.
"Hope…Sorry." She apologized with a hint of tears at her eyes.
I regained composure and got up.
"Don't sweat it, Light." I reassured her.
"Okay…Okay I guess a spear just isn't for you then. I guess that leaves…" I look around for Vanille.
She's off chasing a butterfly (Um, pulse fly?) a bit of distance away.
I sigh and ask Fang to go get her.
"Hmm? You needed me, Hope?" Vanille came skipping over and asked in a playful voice.
"Right, all that's left it your binding rod. Mind teaching Light?" I asked.
"Sure! Light, this is my binding rod!" Vanilla whipped it out of her back like magic.
"Alright…"Light sounded disheartened. I don't blame her, what with the recent failures.
I sigh inwardly. Maybe I have to teach her magic? She might be able to do it.
Before I knew it, Vanille was casting her rod around to demonstrate to Light it's usage. As Light was awed in the sight of such a tool, I just smirked like an idiot looking at them.
And before I knew it, I had a gut feeling something is about to happen.
Yup, and the next thing I knew, I was bound by some wires…Originating from a binding rod owned by Oerba Dia Vanilla(deliberate mistake)…Vanille.
"WHAT THE HELL MAN!" I shouted as she tossed me about in the air.
"Oops! Sorry Hope!" She shouted.
"Hope! Are you alri…" Light started but was cut off by some wires binding her as well.
Apparently, Vanille panicked and turned her body around, just to catch Light who was just standing there.
"Woah, Woah, WOAH!" I shouted as Light was spinning all over my body because of the messed up wires.
The whole world is spinning….!
SLAP…
This situation…Isn't very funny to me. Seems that way to Snow and co, though…Snow and his clowns.
Light and I were bound together due to the wires and it was pressing my face to her bosom. We're on a tree as well…
Cue the wolf whistles from a certain 2 people and teasing.
"Wow, Hope! Talk about taking advantage of a situation, boy!" Fang shouted.
"Good job bro! it's things like this that help me see my Nephew or Niece soon!" Snow shouted enthusiastically.
"Grrr….." I growled softly at Snow.
I can't believe they can find time to tease us in this situation.
"Ah…Hope…"Light moaned softly as she snuggled closer to me, drunk on passion.
"Woah! Light…Not here…" I whisper, embarrassed at her close proximity.
I manage to keep her off me, but I failed to keep the burning stares from the party below us.
Sazh looks pretty calm though…And Vanille is smiling.
I sigh as I try to get out of this situation while Light is pressing me against some huge mounds…
I never knew they were this big…
'Shit! What are you thinking, Estheim! Shame on you…' I chastised myself.
Later
"Whew…" I breathe a sigh of relief.
They got us out of that predicament, but Light wouldn't let go til 10 minutes later.
Light picked up the binding rod and tried it out…Nothing should go wrong anymore, right?
WRONG…
*Sound of clothes tearing*
"What in the…?" I panicked as my clothes suddenly tore into pieces.
"Gasp…Hope…"Light blushed and looked away.
Apparently, the rod she cast in my direction tore my clothes.
"Light! I told you not to press that button yet, it's the ripper wire you activated!" Vanille scolded her.
"Could someone just please get me a change of clothes!" I shouted.
Sigh…This day just got worse.
Later…
Today was such a horrible day…
As I thought about today's misfortune, Light kept apologizing to me although I asked her to stop.
Snow's coat is kind of big for me though, and I never knew he carried spare shirt and pants…
Though, wearing ladies' underwear is a little…
Light forced them on me. She wanted to make up for her little mistake, by humiliating me EVEN MORE!
But she threatened to cry if I didn't do it.
Sigh…My life feels horrible…What did I do to deserve so much shit?
But, with Light hooking her arm around me and snuggling close by…I feel kind of happy...Love is an amazing thing, no?
"Sorry, Hope…I won't do it again…" Light whispered softly.
I just smile at her and pat her head.
"Though it was kind of fun…" She smiled.
'Yeah, well…not for me.' I thought with sarcasm.
"Maybe I'll borrow it again…Just so you won't be able to run away from me!" Light clung to me tighter as she said that.
I smile. She really is cute…I never would have imagined something like this happening a few days back, before that sparring incident.
"Then again, I might decide to use your boomerang. It did hit its mark earlier today…" She said as the nuzzled my ear softly… I blushed at her intimate initiative.
Snow, who was in front of us… Sneezed. [1]
Notes
[1] Well, you sneeze when someone talks about you, right? Talks shit about you = sneeze…
Sorry for the low quality writing…For some reason I can't write as well as before. I'm outta shape. This is a rushed story since I was so busy and it was late in the night, so please, forgive me! I edited the next night and I felt really groggy and anemic.
