Oh yeah: I don't own final fantasy XII, ok? If I did, Kytes would be in your party instead of Penelo (Sorry, I really hate Penelo, and really love Kytes .)
Hi PPL XD Ok, VaanXKytes needs some major love people! Why doesn't anyone seem to like that pair? . It's my favorite (Basically the only pair I like in FFXII)
Like, within the first 2 minutes of playing as Vaan in XII, I saw Kytes and him as a great pair!
So anyway, shounen-ai, if you don't like…well, don't read, geez, do I really have to tell you that Xd
This might be a oneshot, unless someone tells me to continue ;) so plzzzzz read and review X3
--Kytes' PoV--
I lazily washed the desk of the shop. It didn't get much boring than this. Doing chores for Migilo isn't the funnest thing in the world…Vaan got to go out and do hunts and stuff, while I was stuck in this place. He promised me one day he would take me with him on one, but he said he was worried I would get hurt! That was the most exciting part of the day though, when Vaan would tell me about his day, not that it ever lasted long though…
"Hey Kytes!" Vaan said, entering the shop. I smiled for a moment, then ran up and hugged him
"Vaan! You're alive! They told me you got attacked and torn up and-" Ok, I never heard this, but I was so excited to see Vaan that I hugged him, and I needed a good reason for doing this!
"Na, I got beat up pretty bad, but I'm fine" He ensured me as I released him
I looked over his scratches and bruises. They looked pretty bad, how could he just ignore them? "Vaan, I'll get you some ointment for those, hang on a sec." I said, and went behind the counter to find some stuff for him
"Thanks Kytes, but really I'm fine!" He laughed, but I knew better. Even if he was in horrible pain, he wouldn't admit it
"Here" I took the ointment out and began rubbing it on his sores. Every once in awhile Vaan would wince and I knew the ointment was stinging.
"Where's Penelo?" He asked. I hate her! I can't have a good five minutes with my best friend without him mentioning her. I wanted to spend time with Vaan. No Penelo.
"She's gone…doing chores" I lied. She was in the storeroom inside the shop. I just hoped she wouldn't hear me talking "You know Vaan, we could do something…just the two of us"
"Sure, you done with the ointment?" He asked.
"This one is big, I'm gonna get something to wrap it up with" I said, talking about a large gash across his chest.
"Don't worry about it Kytes!" I heard him saying as I walked into the storeroom. Penelo was there…great
"Hey Kytes, Is Vaan here yet?" She asked, lifting some box off a shelf.
"No" I lied. There was no way she was getting him this time
"What do you need that bandage for?" She asked as she saw me with the white cloth
"Customer" I already realized this was a stupid mistake…very stupid.
"We're closed!" She placed her hands on her hips and looked at me "What did you do Kytes?"
"Ok, ok, I scraped my arm, there's a lot of blood, I need to go! Bye!" I rushed out of the room. I needed Vaan out of there as quick as possible so Penelo wouldn't see him. I wasn't being selfish! She got him all the time; I deserve time with Vaan too!
"Common Vaan, I can't see in here, let's go outside and I'll fix you up!" I quickly said upon entering the room, grabbing Vaan's arm and pulling him out
"What was that all about?" Vaan asked me as I wrapped the bandage around him.
"No-Nothing! Let's go to low town! It's much cooler down there," I suggested, and agreeing he followed me there
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Being in Low Town is such a relief, not so hot down here ya know" I said.
Vaan had a wide grin on his face now "When your in an airship though, it feels even better than this, you're so high up, and the air is just great and-" Vaan's dreams of a sky pirate again "Someday, when I get an airship, we'll go up in it, just you and me-" My heart leapt with joy. Vaan really wanted to go off with only me and him! It would be great, just the two of us with the world to travel- "and Penelo" My joy died, why did he have to finish the sentence?
"Sounds great" I lied, I guess it showed…
"Something the matter Kytes?"
I forced a smile and turned to him "No, I'm fine! I can't wait for you to get and airship, it'll be great! Just the….three of us…" It would be great, if only it could be just Vaan and me. I could dream forever of it being like that. We would wake up and go across the world, Vaan would stop at lots of places-to show me where he went on his travels. We would fly all day then land and sleep under the stars…just me and him.
"I can't wait Kytes! I'll be the greatest sky pirate Ivalice has ever seen! And you'll be my right-hand man, ok?"
"Sounds hard, managing a ship with only three people!" I said. Guess it would be even harder managing a two-person ship….
"Na, you get Moogles to fix the ship and stuff!" Vaan replied, and I knew he would be right; he has been on an airship before.
"I can handle that Kupo!" I joked, making my voice squeaky to sound like a Moogle.
"Then I leave it all to you!" Vaan laughed, "You can be my right-hand man, and my little Moogle!"
"Of course Kupo! I've got it all covered!"
"Na, I think you're cuter than a Moogle" He joked, and my face turned bright red. "You can just be my little Kytes" Man, my heart was beating fast. Was Vaan flirting with me? Ya, I wish-but I knew he just meant it as a joke.
"You're little Kytes huh?" I laughed "Common, I'll race you to the sewers!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Hey Vaan, I almost forget. I got you these…" I said, pulling out some beautiful red flowers, they were special to Vaan…of course; Vaan didn't know I knew about these. Whenever he needed to talk, he went straight to Penelo…
"Kytes…how did you know about these? Penelo tell you?" He asked, glancing down at his brother's favorite flowers.
"Ya…listen Vaan," I said, looking at him straight in the eyes "You…you can talk to me too! I'll listen…I want to listen. If Penelo is busy, or if Penelo isn't busy, you can come to me, ok? I want you to trust me!" I pleaded with him. He looked taken back, or hurt by what I said.
"Kytes….I'm sorry. You're right, really. I can talk to you just as easy as I can with Penelo. And I trust you, alright?"
"I'm glad….cause I'd trust you with my life Vaan" It was the truth. If it ever came to it, I would trust Vaan to protect me, and I would stay at his side always, because I know that he'll always be there for me.
Vaan blushed and I worried I had embarrassed him a bit "Kytes…th-thanks. How bout' you come to the plains with me tomorrow?"
I couldn't hold it in. This was great news! Vaan was finally letting me go on adventures with him, it would be so cool! "Vaan! Thanks! This is awesome!" I laughed, hugging him tightly in thanks.
"Ya, well you better be careful out there. I don't want anything happening to my little Kytes!" He said, ruffling my hair
"I'll be fine…you'll be there with me!"
"Of course, I'll always be here for you Kytes!" This felt almost like a dream. I mean, for one, Vaan wasn't mentioning Penelo! At all! "Promise" He said, placing his hand on mine
"I-Vaan…" Jeez…was he teasing me? Or most likely, he just meant this stuff as a friendly thing, nothing else. Or, maybe he saw us as being like brothers, that's how I've always seen Vaan, whenever he was gone…I always felt empty, I would sit in Low Town and cry. Of course I hated crying though.
I remember one time, when Vaan was off on his travels with those weird people, the sky pirates, the girl, the strange guy, and Penelo. But, anyway, some one saw me crying, and they came up to me. He told me about rumors going around, and said Vaan was as good as dead. I punched him smack in the mouth. Course, Vaan wasn't so happy with me when he heard this. He told me that he would never leave me, not to worry. Well, anyway, he gave me this pendent then, that's why I remembered this.
"Vaan, remember this?" I asked, pulling out the pendent "You gave this to me, I always held it close to me when you were gone...it made me feel like you were there. But, do you want it back now?"
Vaan just smiled when I handed it to him, and placed it back in my hand "Keep it Kytes, and remember what I told you, ok?"
"Not to punch people in the mouth?" I laughed
"No, that I'll always be here for you"
"Vaan….eh…" I can't believe what I was about to do, really…. "Do you love Penelo?" Vaan hadn't mentioned her this time…I had. But I needed to know….I needed to know whether or not that well…I wanted to know how Vaan saw me, as a friend, as a brother, or as more…
"Love? I wouldn't say that….I'm not really sure." That wasn't an answer I wanted, how was I supposed to know whether that meant yes or no? "I like her a lot ya know, but…"
"I see…I just-" I wanted to say it, I really did. But, if I did, I could possibly lose the best friend I ever had.
"Kytes?"
"Nothing…" No, that's not what I wanted to say. I meant to say: I love you Vaan. But, it came out as nothing
"Kytes, If you're worried that me and her getting together would mean less time with just the two of us….don't" He said gently, resting his hand on my shoulder.
"I know…." I said, and laid my head against him. "It's just that, you see Vaan…" I love you! No, those words seemed incapable of coming out of my mouth
"I'll never forget about you Kytes…" He promised, and moved my head onto his lap. Ok, now I felt this was a little close for two people who are just friends. But, I liked it.
I just smiled. Of course he wouldn't think that I was in love with him, I was his friend, a guy friend actually! "I know Vaan…" I said again as he toyed with my hair. It felt great, being with Vaan like this….
"Kytes, I…" Vaan was the one not finishing his sentences now. "I, might, kinda…"
Now I was freaking out. Vaan's face was approaching mine. Why was I freaked out? Didn't I want this? But no, I saw his lips approaching….and I jumped up, I interrupted him…and I hate myself for it "Vaan-?!" Why was I so stupid?! Vaan was about to kiss me! I love him and he was telling me that he loved me! And, I just threw that chance away. And now, I was watching the chance of me and Vaan being together shrivel up and die.
"Kytes, I'm so sorry! Let's be friends still! I didn't mean it, serious, Kytes…." He was saying his words so quickly and I wasn't paying attention to them. I had just thrown my chance of being with Vaan away.
I had just thrown away everything I longed so bad for. I walked back to Migelo's, and began my work again. The day was boring again without him. All I could do was wait for him to come back. Tomorrow, we would go to the plains together, and I would have another chance, but I wasn't sure if I could take it….I know I want it though…but wanting it, and having it, or completely different things.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thanks for reading, please review! And tell me if I should continue! X3
