So. A collection of drabbles, oneshots, twoshots (and sometimes song-fics) focused on a variety of pairings from Final Fantasy XIII.
M/M, M/F, and F/F content within.
First: Hope asks Sahz a question. Sahz is left to wonder why he suddenly became the go-to guy when it came to romance.
"Sahz?" The blonde teen asked, flopping down onto the grass beside the older male.
"What?" He mumbled, eyes half-closed. Typical Sahz, worn out after fighting. Apparently Sahz deemed it perfectly okay to take a nap in the middle of nowhere. Hope rolled his eyes in amusement.
"What's wrong with me?" He asked, earning a suspicious stare from Sahz.
"...Depends. Is this about being a l'Cie?" He replied, sitting up on his elbows to get a better look at the smaller boy. Hope shook his head slowly, squinting up at the horizon.
"It's about Lightning," Hope murmured, and suddenly, Sahz was very worried about the whole conversation. Not even in a mildly good way, either.
"And what about Lightning?" The dark-skinned man asked, head tilted to the side slightly.
"It's... well, it's hard to explain." Hope said, fumbling for words. It was rather difficult to spit out what he wanted to say when he didn't know how to put it. Raising an eyebrow, Sahz clapped him on the back. Hope choked on his own spit and whipped around to glower at the older man.
"Alright, Hope, just say it." Sahz said, leaning back on his hands. And, well, he did.
"'slike, sevenyearsolderthanmeandohgod –" Well. It was a good thing Sahz had travelled with Vanille for the better part of the journey to Pulse because otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to understand a single word Hope had said.
"Right, well," Sahz began, looking rather uncomfortable. "Just, uh, just follow your heart. I think. Find the right time to tell her and then... and, uh, and then just... tell her." Sahz said, stumbling for words. You never really knew how hard it was to tell someone how to deal with their relationship issues until you actually have to help them. Hope gave a small – but meaningful – smile and nodded his thanks before jogging off elsewhere.
Sahz, glad for the peace, flopped back onto the ground and was just about to nod off when, out of absolutely nowhere, Vanille rammed right into his side.
"Sahz!" Why yes, Vanille dear? "You'll tell me how to deal with Fang, right?" Sahz got the feeling he wouldn't be getting much for a nap that afternoon.
