Okay, I've never done this before so I'm sorry if I offend anyone or anything :3

I've just finished playing FF13 and all the way through thought Fang and Light were totally into eachother ;D so I thought I'd go ahead with this. Let me know what you think/should I continue maybe?

Also I (unfortunately) don't own final fantasy, square enix/squaresoft own them. Yesyes :3


It was a clear night on Gran Pulse as Lightning lay there for the third night in a row staring up at the sky. The sun would be rising soon, and she knew she had to get some sleep, but why couldn't she?
She groaned quietly to herself and sat up, rubbing her face. Since there was no chance she would be sleeping any time soon, she grabbed her gunblade and cast one quick glance back at her companions to make sure they were all asleep before disappearing into the trees.

As she walked to a clearing she knew was nearby, the moon illuminated her path, making the small journey easier on her part. Once she had reached her destination, she threw her gunblade down next to her and leant against a rock overlooking a large cliff.
She hadn't noticed how cold the night had been until the dampness of the rock had sunk through her clothes. She grabbed her cape that always hung from her shoulder and wrapped herself in it, sighing. As she stared up at the moon, millions of thoughts began to flood her head.
Before she could start to make sense of anything, she heard rustling in the vegetation behind her. She was up in a flash, weapon at the ready, when she saw a familiar face.

"Thought I mighta found you here, sunshine" Fangs familiar voice floated through the air, and Lightning finally relaxed,

"you should know better than to sneak up on people like that, you could get hurt."

Fang chuckled, a sound that relaxed Lightning's whole body, "Hurt? From you? That's an unlikely scenario"

Lightning scowled at her before looking back up at the moon again. "Somethin' on your mind Sunshine?" Fang questioned, as she sat next to the soldier, feeling her body stiffen.

Lightning turned her face away from the Pulsian woman to avoid making eye contact. Ever since they had met, Fang had this way about her that made Lightning feel on edge, as though she could read her mind. "Nah, just can't sleep is all..." Lightning mumbled to her

"I'd believe that if you hadn't been goin' for walks every night, thought I'd follow ya for once."

Lightning's head snapped towards her, a look of worry on her face "wait, you've been following me? What do you mean?"

Fang chuckled again as Lightning looked at the ground "Don't worry sunshine, I haven't been just sitting here staring at you for hours every night, I just noticed you gettin' up and leavin' all the time."

Lightning leant back on the rock and sighed, covering her eyes with her arm, "It's just... I can't sleep is all, I don't know why, I'm physically exhausted, my limbs are numb, but I just can't."

Fangs expression softened as the soldier opened up to her for the first time since they met back in Palumpolum. She reached out slowly and placed her hand on Lightning's shoulder, lightly rubbing her palm across it. She noticed Lightning peeking out from underneath her arm as azure orbs met her jade green ones. She smiled slightly before shifting closer to her

"y'know I'm always here to talk if you ever need someone to chat with. I don't really sleep much myself nowadays so I know how you feel."

Suddenly Lightning turned to her and snapped "You don't have a clue what I'm going through Fang, I went from my regular damn life up there then the next thing I know, I've lose the one thing that meant anything to me, so don't even try to-"

Fang cut her off "Oh maker! Calm down sunshine, I didn't mean anything by it, I jus' meant if you need someone to talk to I'm here." Lightning balled her hands into fists and hit the ground, snapping a stick underneath it,

"I'm fine" was all she responded with. Fang shook her head,"Y'know what sunshine? You're not fine, so don't try tellin' me you are, cause I aint buying it. Look, once you're ready to talk to me, I'll be waitin' alright?"

As she began to stand up she felt a hand on her wrist "wait..." was all she got from Lightning as she stared at the floor, "I... Please stay with me; it's kind of nice having the company..."

Fang smiled as she sat back down, "All you gotta do is ask, Light" She shifted her weight, still staring at the floor, "Look Fang, I'm not good with this kind of thing,"

Fang let out a slight laugh, "Yeah no kiddin', I kinda figured that part out on my own." Lightning sighed, "It's just... I never had close friends who I used to hang out with and all that crap, I never saw the point of it, my whole childhood was dedicated to Serah, so now she's gone I really have no idea what I'm supposed to do."

Fang shook her head and shifted closer to the solder again, "Light, she's not gone, she's just crystal, there's still a high chance you'll see her again." Lightning felt her eyes sting as she looked down, refusing to let Fang see her in such a vulnerable state.

A silence filled the air between them and Fang looked down at her comrade, "Light..."

As she continued to stare at the ground, Fang moved a strands of hair behind the younger woman's ear, before turning her eyes towards her own,"Light, you'll never be alone, not as long as everyone's here around you, and as for when it gets dark, I'll never be far, just remember that." As Fang winked, she wiped a tear from her cheek.

Lightning leant in to the touch, her blinking becoming slow, "Hey Fang," she mumbled to the older woman, "Yes darl?" Fang lightly ran her thumb over her soft cheek until Lightning opened her eyes again, "can you not mention this to anyone, please?"She smiled at her, "Don't worry Claire, this can be our little secret, promise."

Lightning flinched on hearing her real name, when Fang stood up and stretched. Lightning began to follow until she stumbled backwards, "hey! Watch yourself sunshine, no point having a secret if you trip over a cliff and die! Come here"

Before Light could protest Fang had her off the ground and into her arms in one quick sweeping motion. "Fangg, what if someone sees you carrying me like this?" Fang laughed, "Don't worry, I'll just say I found you sleepwalking through the woods"

Being overcome with sleep, Lightning didn't worry about the situation much; she simply closed her eyes for what seemed like a second before falling into a dream.
