"Vaan… Vaan… Vaan…"
"Vaan!!!"
"OW!" Vaan yelled out in pain. He could feel pain in his shoulder. He quickly opened his eyes and rolled over. He let out a startled noise as he focused and saw Penelo standing over him. He let out a sigh and eased back down onto his bed. He groaned.
"What now, Penelo!?" He asked, frustrated. His dream was just getting good! He rolled over and pulled his blanket over his head. Penelo, being the morning person she was, giggled and grabbed his blanket, pulling it off of him.
"Get up Vaan! You gotta get up!" She said, pulling his blanket completely off his bed and putting it in a handmade laundry basket, made of wood and twine. Vaan just rolled into a tight ball and shivered.
"But I'm tired!!!" He groaned loudly. Penelo picked up the basket and put it on Vaan's bed.
"Well, that's too bad Vaan. I told you to go to bed early last night!" She said, collecting various clothes around the room and putting them into the basket. "Today's cleaning day remember? Or did you just happen to forget?" Vaan let out another groan. "Ok, Mom." He muttered.
Penelo smirked. Ohh, that was a pretty good one Vaan. But Penelo's got jokes of her own! She picked up the basket and set it on the floor. She sat on the side of his bed. "So what can I do to make you get up?" She said. She edged closer to Vaan, close enough for him to feel her body lightly pressing up to his. She smirked wider as she felt him try to move away, shivering slightly. Scared?
Vaan groaned and came out of his tight, little ball. "You know what, Penelo?" He said as he sat up, "Sometimes you're way perverted." She laughed, and stood up, picking the basket up from ground and putting it on her hip. Ha, I had a feeling that would work.
Vaan stayed, sitting on the bed, watching Penelo as she walked out of the room. As she reached the doorway of his room, he called after her, "But really, are you sure you haven't been hanging out too much with me!?" He heard a small laugh come from the dark hall outside his room. "I mean maybe I've been rubbing off on you!" He smiled, hearing a small giggle come from the hall, as Penelo collected towels to wash.
"Whatever Vaan!" She said, giggling once more. Vaan stood up from his bed and grabbed his clothes from the chair where he hung them. Her giggle is so cute. His face twisted up in a mix of surprise and bewilderment. Did I just think that!? Maybe I really should start going to bed early… Lack of sleep is making me think crazy things! He moved to the corner of his room where he couldn't be seen and quickly undressed and dressed. He moved out into the main room, where Penelo was getting ready to leave to do laundry. As she went out the door, she called back to Vaan.
"I'm out! I'll be back in about an hour! Oh and by the way, Migelo said that he's gonna give us the day off, so we can go to train at Giza Plains today." The door slammed shut behind her.
"If I have no work today, then why did she just have to wake me up?" He groaned. If I have to wait an hour for her to come back, I should just go back to sleep! Vaan stumbled down the dark hall and into his room. It had a soft glow that came from the weak light on his nightstand. He hopped onto his bed, lying on his back with his hands behind his head. He used times like this to think. I wonder why Penelo woke me up even though I had nothing to do… maybe it's 'cause she likes my company! Hahaha, yeah right. It was probably just because she likes to annoy me. But seriously… why was she kind of perverted this morning? She's usually not like that… Maybe she really wanted to do something! Penelo? Psshhh! She was probably just teasing me… or maybe she really was horny! Hahaha! She's probably just spent too much time with me…or maybe… Ugh, I wish I had never thought of that, now I'm gonna be thinking about it all friggin' day! And while I'm bringing up weird things, why did I call her laugh cute? I mean, do I like her? No, no, no! I'm sure I don't… she's like a sister to me! Maybe less than that, maybe just a cousin! Sheesh… I feel like I'm going crazy, almost arguing with my self like this… maybe I should just stop thinking. And with that, Vaan rolled over onto his side and quickly fell asleep.
Meanwhile
Penelo made her way to the Lowtown courtyard, in the north sprawl to wash her and Vaan's clothes. Sigh; maybe it wasn't a good idea to tease Vaan this morning. I don't want him to think… Well, maybe… NO! He's like a brother to me, I think… I'm not really sure how I feel about him. Penelo let out a little grunt as she scrubbed the clothes. I mean, after my family died, he was the only person I had, and I feel really attached to him. I mean, if he disappeared from my life I don't know what I'd do. Maybe I should let him know that. No, I don't think so. Then he'll think I'm like, in love with him or something. Or maybe I am… All I do know is that maybe I shouldn't have been a little perv this morning. Penelo smiled to herself. Hah, Maybe I creeped him out a little. Hmm well, it's almost been an hour, and these clothes are washed, so I'll go buy supplies for today's training. Penelo collected the wet clothes and hung them on a stiff vine that had grown up out of the water. I'll be back for those later. Knowing no one would take them, she made her way to the merchant.
Back to Vaan
Click… Click… Slam!
"Wha!" Vaan jerked awake, to find Penelo standing over him. The laundry basket was in the corner of his room, full of dry, clean clothes. She was giving him a weird look, tilting her head at him.
Penelo raised an eyebrow, "Uhh, sorry for scaring you. I didn't realize how loud the door is when it closes." She said. She smiled. "But anyway, are you ready to go to Giza Plains?"
This made Vaan sit up quickly. "Of course!" He said eagerly. The two of them quickly left their small house in Lowtown, Rabanastre. They eagerly walked through south plaza, to the gate that would provide the entrance to the plains.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this. There's more chapters to come! Do you guys think Penelo and Vaan make a good pairing? And also, do you think that I captured personailities right, or did they seem ooc... Honestly, this is my first video game fanfic. It feels weird to write it hahah. But it's fun, so I'll keep writing. Please send reviews! They keep me motivated! Thanks!
