A/NZidane and Dagger are property of Square-Enix. This is simply another tiny drabble for my most beloved FF couple. Can be read as a companion-of-sorts to 'Strawscent'.

Zidane arrives with a 'Wark!'
Dagger arrives with the noise of four Lindblum-cab engines and spinning, rattling propellers.
Sometimes Zidane reaches her first. Sometimes it's the other way around.
Sometimes they both arrive at the same time.
"Bring my beloved Dagger to me!" Dagger cannot hear him clearly over the combined noise of the roaring wind and the propellers, but she can see the words and the grin that forms. She lifts her hand from the steering wheel to wave and nearly crashes the mini-airship.
"Have you been good, Zidane?" she calls, running to him in a tassle of black hair before the airship has even properly touched down. He catches her up and laughs.
"Of course. It's been seven months since I laid hands on a female, can you believe how long I've lasted?" He chuckles as her eyes widen in misunderstanding rage. "We last saw each other seven months ago. Or have you forgotten?"
Dagger blinks. "Seven months? I thought it was longer than that..." She closes her eyes as Zidane leans in, golden strands mingling with dark tresses, yin-and-yang glinting under the sun. "Too long."
The two lose themselves in the moment. For them there is no Happily-Ever-After or End but only Now. Choco, forgotten, wanders grumpily over to the empty airship, its motors still roaring, and sniffs it in apparent distaste.
