: Nicotine and faded dreams:

It was a cold night. The breeze was perfectly freezing in the woods. Vanille was sleeping soundly underneath a tree. Sazh, Hope, and Snow were found asleep around the bonfire. I know what you guys are thinking, where's Lightning and Fang? Well, Lightning is near Vanille, like, just meters away from the redhead. The pinkette is watching over her sleep. Fang, in the other hand, saw Lightning near the young girl's sleeping place. The tribeswoman sneaked up to the soldier and was planning to surprise her. Fang tried so hard to sneak up to her with all the best her stealth can do… but-

"Don't even think about it", Lightning spoke calmly without looking behind her. She knew Fang was there all along. The soldier's ears never fail her.

Fang grunted, "Very good sunshine. Never thought your ears were just like a cat's", the tribeswoman praised while she prayed that the soldier won't whack her.

"Tch", Lightning shrugged but stayed where she was.

Then, Fang thought of something…Something cunning. The raven-haired girl stepped closer behind Lightning and cleared her throat, "Well, look at Vanille. Isn't she cute?", Fang smiled upon the sleeping Vanille. Lightning stirred a bit but didn't look at Fang. "Don't you agree, Sunshine?"

Lightning's ice blue gaze turned into the sleeping girl near them. She has to admit, she does look quite adorable. And of course, Lightning can only agree to herself, but if she shows that she agrees, that's a different Lightning then.

Fang waited for the pinkette's response but she felt that Lightning won't budge. I got an idea. The raven-haired stretched her arms and yawned, "By the way, Lightning, What are doing in this specific place?", she asked.

The soldier just stood there, "I guard at this post", still not facing Fang while she's talking to her. "This place is pretty high, so it's convenient"

Fang smirked and leaned her back to a nearby tree, "Oh. So I see", she nodded her head. "And I assume that you're here to enjoy the view too"

Lightning, confused about what is Fang talking about, finally faced the tribeswoman. "What view?"

Fang, with her smirk still on her face, pointed her hand at the sleeping Vanille. "That sunshine right there"

The soldier blushed a bit but turned around so the other woman won't see, "Don't be absurd, woman", she spoke with an annoyed tone.

Fang raised her shoulders and sighed, "Alright then", she said as she walks away. Before going any further to the bonfire, she turned her back to face Lightning one last time, "Enjoy the view anyways. I'm gonna sleep", with that, she turned and continued to walk towards the sleeping males.

The soldier eyed the tribeswoman, obviously annoyed and flushed. Enjoy the view my ass.

Lightning then turned her gaze upon the sleeping Vanille. Well, maybe Fang's right. It's quite an adorable view. She smiled at the sight of the young girl sleeping so soundly while hugging the soldier's chuckled to herself. Look at that. She's hugging my canteen. Cute.

Wait. What am I saying? Lightning snapped herself and looked away from Vanille. Do I really find Vanille cute? She closed her eyes and inhaled. Get a grip, Lightning. Don't tell me that you're attracted to her. But, in an instinct, she looked at Vanille once more. Lightning, you are hopeless. She facepalmed at the thought of her falling for Vanille. I really need to get a hold of myself. I really don't know what in fuck sake I turned myself into.

The pinkette looked away. Lightning. Lightning. What is happening to you? She tried her best to keep a calm face while she's quarreling with herself. I know that I'm human with feelings and all, but I'm a soldier. Her ice blue eyes narrowed. A soldier focuses on her/his duty.

She felt something awoke in her brain; she needs something to distract herself from thinking of these things. I'm gonna take a hike away a bit. She took a stepped to her left and took a last glance on the young redhead. I really don't know what is happening to me. She sighed and continued to walk away from our 'sleeping beauty'. Lightning, you're too mushy by yourself for sometimes.

Well… Meanwhile in Vanille's Lala land~

Vanille was sleeping so soundly underneath the tree while hugging Lightning's canteen like a teddy bear. Well, she's sleeping so soundly because she's dreaming of something. And I know, you've guessed it. It's Lightning. The soldier is always in the young girl's mind. And most of all, her heart.

Lightning and Vanille were sitting together underneath the twilight skies. Yep, just the two of them. The skies were tinted pink and orange; such warm colors on their eyes. Vanille was looking at the warm horizon, while Lightning on the other hand, was looking at the young girl with adoration. The girl noticed the woman looking at her, "What's the matter, Lightning?", she asked, "Don't you like twilight skies?", she followed up a concern question. The pinkette chuckled, "I love looking at twilight skies", she said softly. The soldier girl then smiled at the young girl lovingly, "But I love looking at you more, because you're more beautiful than anything", Lightning spoke softly, trying to make her sound more romantic.

With that, Vanille's face instantly became flushed. Those words are not to be expected from the soldier. But Lightning really said that to her. The pinkette reached out a firm hand and held the redhead's adorable face, making Vanille blush even more. Lightning's smile didn't fade; it stays lovingly on her face. "Vanille", the woman spoke her name lovingly before she leans to touch their lips together. The skies began to darken as the two figures came close to each other.

Well, everything was perfect. Except. This is just a dream, right?

"Vanille, wake up", Fang nudged the youngest girl on the left shoulder, trying to wake her up gently. Vanille frowned in her sleep for a bit, showing that she doesn't want to wake up just yet. She was having a perfect dream, right guys?

Fang sighed. Here goes nothin', I guess. The tribeswoman inhaled a bit air and took her lips near the young girl's ear, "Wake up, Sunshine!", she almost screamed into Vanille's ears.

And of course, who wouldn't wake up entirely if someone half-screamed into your ear? The redhead's eyes flung wide open and jerked forward, quite shocked from Fang's wake-up call.

Vanille looked at Fang with a slight angry and pouty face. She groaned at the tribeswoman as she rubbed her sleepy emerald eyes.

The raven-haired woman smirked, "Morning, Sunshine!", Fang greeted with her usual down under accent (Australian, in short)."I noticed you're smiling in yer sleep while hugging that canteen, yeah?"

Vanille rolled her eyes and yawned, "Yeah, I had a wonderful dream", she said with a cheery tone. It was wonderful to have a moment with Lightning even only in dreams.

The redhead recalled her dream with a dreamy smile on her face, still embracing Lightning's canteen as she did so. Fang raised one eyebrow while looking at her friend, being confused by her sudden 'in-love' actions. She wouldn't let go off that canteen, won't she?

Fang chuckled, "Who owns that canteen you're holding from night til' now, Sunshine?", the raven-haired asked as she looked at the dark blue canteen inside Vanille's arms.

"That's mine", as familiar calm and cold voice answered Fang's question. Yep, it's Lightning. The soldier was sitting just behind the tree where Vanille and Fang were.

Oh yeah, I must give this back to her! Vanille scrambled on her feet. The redhead awkwardly walked up to the sitting Lightning and gave her canteen back. "Thank you so much, Lightning!", Vanille clumsily spoke. I didn't even know she was just there!

*Insert weird and humorous music right here*

Awkward~
