~~~~Sweet Tooth~~~~
It was well known to everyone that Snow Villiers had a sweet tooth. Hope Estheim, Lightning's cousin, had teased him about it on more than one occasion especially when Snow gave Lightning boxes of chocolate only to eat them himself. But what none of them knew, Snow was sweet on Lightning. There was something about her taste, he couldn't pin point it because it wasn't something he could understand but he knew it was pure Lightning. It belonged to her and only her.
Snow sighed as he shifted his head from where it was cushioned on his hands and he looked over to his right to see Lightning was sleeping next to him, her back to him. She had a small tattoo of a butterfly on the back of her left shoulder.
He remembered the first time he saw the tattoo, he had been shocked that she had gotten one before she admitted that she got it done after her parents died. She had a wild moment and gotten the tattoo on impulse.
His friends often asked him why he was dating Lightning. She was different from his past girlfriends. She was more tough, she didn't back down from a fight and if anyone dared to pick on her family, well, they were in for a world of hurt, that for sure. A lot of them had thought he would date Serah but he found that she was a little too sweet for him. Not that he had a problem with Lightning's little sister.
But Lightning, she was tough on the outside, anyone could tell him that but on the inside, she was all sweet and sugar like. There was just something about her that drew him to her like a moth to a flame. She could burn him with just a look.
But when she let her guard drop around Hope and Serah, Snow can see the soft side of her. She jokes around with Fang, her best friend and is there whenever Vanille, Fang's adoptive sister, just needs to talk or go shopping.
Snow knows of Lightning's past, he knows how tough she had it but she overcame it and she became stronger as result. He's just glad that he got to meet her, to know her and discover the sweet taste her skin could be. It wasn't anything she used; it was a part of her.
"I can feel you watching me," Lightning's sleepy voice broke him out of his thoughts and he smiled sheepishly even though she couldn't see him.
"Sorry," he didn't sound sorry as he turned onto his side, wrapping an arm over waist and pulling her into his body.
"Why were you watching me?" she asked. He grinned, kissing her shoulder.
"I thinking about how sweet you taste, almost like chocolate Éclairs," he got an elbow to his stomach over the French version of her name and he chuckled.
"You'll pay for that," she promised him before falling back to sleep.
"And that's why I love you," he whispered before he followed her into sleep.
The End
Er…sugary sweet I guess.
