A glance of jealousy
It was the graduation ceremony for the young academy students as they embarked onto being real soldiers and working into each subject they studied for, there to be transferred to the Guardian Corps Base where Lightning works alongside Amodar. They stood in a grand auditorium with high window ceiling that let sunlight shine in a and onto the white wall and to the floor where all the students who passed were seated calmly waiting to be called. In front of them stood the stage where the professors and staff stood standing on two benches the first row was Oerba Yun Fang, Snow, and Jon, on top were just other teachers or something. In the front stood the boss of the Academy, an old man named Edward S. T. Scotts he was tall and very handsome for his age, he wore a grey suit with a badge of the Academy logo and Guardian Corps cap with several badges, his eyes were crystal blue and a bit itimidating, but he was actually a very funny guy, if Jon would say so himself.
"Serah Jenkins." The headmaster said as he looked at the badge and paper printed with the young girls name, Snow's heart skipped a beat as he heard the name, out of all the women he's dated, she was the only one who took a toll on him. He was a different man after Serah, that one woman who you really fall in love with, Snow watched the young light brunette walk up her wavy and shiny, and her bright wide blue eyes similar to Serah's, she smiled with joy as she shook the headmaster's hand and felt completed once he put the badge on her, Snow smirked and shook his head. He looked up and watched he slowly leave, the scene played slowly in his eyes, he missed her, the days where they would spend in Bodhum staring at the ocean, talking about the future, how much they loved eachother, and how they would always be together...
"Such bullshit..." Snow whispered under his breath and Fang clapped as another student walked up, a young man about the age of Snow and Fang, he had dark hair, and golden eyes, he actually looked like Raines, Fang was tooken aback at the exact resemblance.
"Hey Snow." Fang said as she turned her head in his direction without turning around.
"That guy looks just like Raines." She said as Snow looked up to see the young man go up and shake hands, his height, hair, and face resmebled that of Cid Raines very much.
"Yeah, creepy." Snow said as he turned to look out at the rest of the academy students only to spot a young familiar pink haired girl beside another man who was about the same height as Snow his hair grey and eyes green blue, it was Hope! Hope was her Husband! WTF!
"Son of a-" Snow was cut off by the headmaster who looked to Fang, Snow, and Jon.
"Yes, Headmaster." Jon and Fang said as they walked over to the stand, Snow walked over his fist balled up as he held back his anger and kept his stare on Fangs head instead not wanting to look back at the scene he 'hoped' to god was not real.
"First off, I think the real awesome people behind the Academy is Snow Villiers and the fine ass Oerba Yun Fang. You know if it weren't for them, our students wouldn't be badass. You know after those PSICOM motherfuckers trying to screw us. You know. Um, I love my all the classes I work in, I love all of you and you better not fucking let down the word of Guardian Corps. Don't make me look fucking stupid alright I'll kick your ass if you do I'll fucking-" Jon was cut off by the headmaster who grabbed his tattooed arm back and Fang smiled as she walked up to the microphone with Snow beside her.
"Hello. I am very happy to see all of you and your success in listening to me and Mr. Villiers, I'm glad you took our advice and training seriously and accomplished yourselves, and now you'll go on to the real dream of being on the front lines. Just remember your Guardian Corps, live up to the name." Fang chuckled as she looked to Snow. "Because if you don't General Farron will remind you." Fang said and Snow grinned thinking of his ex sister. Fang stepped out of the way and put an arm on Snow's shoulder and smiled her eyes on his, Fang always gave him that stare, she never judged him, she never got angry at him, she just always gave him that calm look and made him feel like everything was fine.
"I..." Snow said as he looked to Fang and then to the microphone and out to all the students, his eyes falling on Serah and Hope, Serah was starting to slowly show, it had been 3 months since there last meet in where Fang told Snow she was pregnant. He thought of how he always wanted to start a family with her, but now that thought is dead and will never happen...she'll never love him...the way that he loves.
"I'm proud of all of you, some of you were once apart of NORA, but we sided with people who knew what they were doing, we were once all rebels and now were doing things the legal way. You grow up eventually guys and we all learn as we grow, I guess we never stay the same, huh? We never feel the same about something we once loved and thought we'd love forever. Listen up, were beyond NORA or any Rebel group were Guardian Corps the military of Cocoon and Gran Pulse its up to us to save everyone, every live, and protect the one we love. You guys are all now Guardian Corps be proud of the name. Don't put it to shame." Snow said as he put his signature hand up where he would be holding Serah's tear, but instead he held his honor for these students he showed the way. Everyone clapped, all the students clapped and cheered as Snow smiled at all of his students.
"Congratulations." Hope said as he put his gloved hand in a hello motion as Fang and Snow made there way out to the teachers lounge, which was pretty grand like Lightning's old apartment, it was stylish and modern. Snow turned to look at him and was ready to punch the life out of him before Fang grabbed his arm before head a chance to bring it up and pressed it softly as Snow just stood calmly looking at Hope.
"It's nice to see students graduated, I was once there before I became the head of my Academy along with Alyssa." Hope said with a smile as he held a cup of water in his other hand and Serah made her entrance with Lightning who was in her General uniform.
"Right, now I have to see if Fang and Snow did a good job raising the children." Lightning said with a rare smile as she walked over beside Hope who looked at her and smiled. Serah had a little bump under her white blouse, she looked nice pregnant, a glow stood around her. Snow couldn't stand looking at her, he just wanted to leave or go under the table by Hope and die, but Fang still held her grip on his arm.
"OF course, we did. Were the perfect parents. Snow's the mommy and I'm the Daddy." Fang laughed as she released his arm and grabbed a cup of water for her self and Snow.
"Yeah, right." Snow said as he drank down the water before Jon slowly made his appearance, he was dressed in a black suit and his arms both tattooed all over.
"Yeah, right, my ASS. Its true Snow's like the mommy, when the students are on discipline he's soft with them while Fang turns into the hulk and is like give me 1000 push ups you little bitch!' its pretty funny." Jon said drinking down a canned energy drink as Fang chuckled and Snow face palmed and blushed from embarrassment as Lightning folded her arms over her chest and gave that infamous look.
"Sounds like Snow." Lightning said with a small laugh at the end.
"Mommy Snow and Daddy Fang." Hope said laughing as Serah stood quiet looking at Fang and then to Snow, but stopped at Fang, ever since she had met Fang she had always found this alluring beauty about her and envied her...she wasn't jealous of her or anything, but there was something about Fang that just made a person stop and want to know more. When Snow and her were married she remembered Fang always being over and talking with Snow or hanging out with Snow, she had never shown any type of romantic feelings with him, and Serah had never thought or assumed they were together, they were Best Friends who do everything with eachother and along the way they've infected new people with there alluring looks and wild personalities. Serah wondered what would become of them in the future.
Snow's POV
'Jesus Christ...can I please just die? Why is it that she has to be here?! And Hope! What the fuck, man?! I swear if he's the father, I'm gonna kill him!' Snow thought as he avoided eye contact with Hope and Serah and looked to the windows where the balcony was and that suddenly brought back a memory.
"Don't always assume something, Snow? That's bad, people can get killed by assumptions...problems can come out of it as well." Fang said leaning over the balcony bars as she stared out at the glorious city of Palempolum. She was dressed in another short dress that was mid thigh, with her army boots, and her chest was in view, with her necklaces revealed and beautiful collarbones, she always has to wear light revealing clothes...her legs always have to be revealed.
"I know Fang, but what if-" I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence as Fang nudges my shoulder and jerked back alittle and stared at her light green eyes, the sun was on her face, but it didn't seem to bother her.
"It's the same as when you were a l'cie, the people of cocoon assumed you were the enemy because of what someone said and assumed, but even after they seen Hope they didn't hesitate to think he wasn't an enemy seeing as he was a young boy. No they didn't care, because they were assuming from what someone else told them to believe." Fang said with her hand on her hip as she smiled and winked and brought up her other hand and put it in a fist.
"Lady Luck." She said and I smiled and brought up my free hand to pound our fist in agreement.
...
"So I see, your starting to show, Serah." I said as I walked over to Serah who was by the balcony where Fang was in my flashback. Serah turned to look at me, her blue eyes watery and her mouth a bit quivery.
"Yeah I am." She managed to smile, but I wasn't buying her cover up. "What's wrong?" I asked her as a seen a tear fall and a grabbed her shoulder softly and she looked out at the city and to the sky.
"Its been 5 years since the divorce and it seems as if you can't move on, Snow? Don't ask me whats wrong? I'm fine. What's with you?" Serah abruptly said, I was token aback as she spoke, I wasn't expecting this, I bit down softly on my check and tried to speak slowly.
"I...I'm just fine Serah." I lied and I knew she knew, she knew everything. "I...just..." I couldn't even manage on what to say next with not making her cry, I didn't want to see her cry, so I just reached out and hugged her softly and buried my face in her light pink hair that smelled sweet, I could feel her belly and small kicks into my abdomonam, I grinned as a tear fell down from my eyes and I laughed and pulled back to see her laughing too.
She knew...She knows what's happening with me...
But I don't know if I can make it... Her smile makes me believe that I can...
Can I?
END OF SNOW'S POV
It was dark and cold, the night wasn't really inviting. The noise of a car was heard as Snow stood seated in the right seat to the drivers where Fang was driving, he can make her out her out in the darkness, her wild hair, her tan skin glistening as water drops stood clung to her uniform and slid down her legs and arms. She was smiling as she drove, Snow blinked as his long blonde hair covered his eyes and he looked out the window to see them in the air, they were driving home or well to Snow's place.
"That was some scene, huh?" Fang chuckled as she looked over to Snow who's head rested on the window beside him, he felt fatigued from that whole ordeal, just being around Serah or thinking about her made him fatigued and upset.
"I guess I shouldn't assume something because people might get hurt." Snow said his blue eyes on the full white moon, he heard Fang chuckle and the car turn over and descend downward, there destination was coming soon.
"You really shouldn't. You didn't want to go to her wedding, so you never found out who it was she was marrying, but I guess now you know Noel is her husband." Fang said as she pulled up to the curve and parked outside Snow's apartment building.
"I know, but I would've never thought...he would fall in love with her...I shouldn't have been so stupid. Of course he would have." Snow said as he got off the car and stepped out and turned to look at Fang, but only to be shocked by her getting off the car and walking over to the apartment buildings entrance. Snow turned around and looked to Fang who held the door open.
"Come on mommy, don't keep daddy waiting." Fang said smiling as she held the large coat over her shoulders, Snow had gave her his dress coat to his grey suit, he stood in his black collared dress long sleeved shirt with a white tie loosened out on his neck. Snow walked over to Fang as she opened the door and they walked into the elevator and retreated to his apartment building.
"Keep it dark." Snow said as Fang was gonna reach for the lights, but instead stopped and walked over to his room and grabbed a few articles of clothes that would best fit her and then went to his shower. Snow heard the shower go on as he sat on his large bed side and looked out his wall windows, he looked at the city as he took of his tie and his long sleeved dress shirt, his shoes slowly came off as well, he picked up his shoes and put them away, and then threw his dress shirt and tie into his hamper in his closet that he closed the doors to after. Snow took off his belt and folded it onto his rack beside other belts in his closet before closing it, his pants were later tooken off and thrown into the hamper, he stood in his black tight Hanes boxer briefs and walked over to his dresser where he pulled out some light blue patterned pajama pants and a white loose tank top, he made his way onto the bed and sat up thinking.
A few hours ago, there had been a graduation party for the students that was held in the dining hall of the Academy, it was transformed with decorations and a bar where they served liquor and other sort of drinks. There were stands with food assortments, it was nice to see all of the students having fun in there celebration in there completion, and there families cheering on and crying over them. Fang watched the parents of the student hug them and cry with joy, it made her feel a bit pained, she had never really seen he parents as a child since they were warriors and had gone out to war, so Fang never seen them really, and they had both died in the war. Fang was always on her own from the start, but always tough from her birth, even after her parents death she joined the Yun warriors and met Oerba Dia Vanille who was a young warrior as well, but no frontline like her, they had became good friends and even sisters. Fang would kill anyone who dare mess with Vanille, that's why after she had joined Raines and the Cavalry her main focus was finding Vanille, she never cared what happened to Cocoon, but after finding Snow in Lake Bresha, she had become interested.
"I see your date didn't show up." Snow said with a smirk as his breath smelled of liquor and Fang turned up to look at him as he stood beside her with a small glass of Vodka, she guessed from the smell. He wasn't drunk. Not even close.
"You know me. No man can reach my standards or even level." Fang said as she took his glass and drank it down as she looked from a family who hugged there daughter and then looked to Snow who looked over to where Fang was looking.
"You know I'm proud of you." Snow said hugging her softly as she smiled smelling in his cologne, Aqua for men by Calvin Klein, she had bought for him for his birthday. She hugged him back feeling his warm body close to hers, she close her eyes and felt like an eternity, Snow felt her emotion as he hugged her, he knew Fang's past and the love of a mom or a dad she never got or understood, but right now, Snow showed his love for Fang in the moment they hugged and Fang took hold of another shot glass from a waiter with drinks. They pulled from the hug and stared out at there students and then Snow's stared fell on Serah and Noel, he seen and smiled, he hadn't seen him in ages, and he quickly patted Fang's shoulder.
"Fang look. It's Noel!" Snow said as Fang spit out her drink and tried to grab Snow's suit jacket, but failed as Snow walked over to them and Fang walked over behind trying to turn Snow away.
"Wait! Snow..." Fang said as she stopped behind him and Snow looked to Noel who was chatting with Serah, he was dressed in casual suit, and he stopped to look up at Snow who smiled at him.
"Noel. I haven't seen you in ages, what have you been up to?" Snow said as he patted Noel's shoulder as Noel smiled awkwardly and knew Snow had no idea he was with Serah or that he was the father.
"Um...well I got married 3 years ago to Serah and now were going to have a baby." Noel said bluntly as he put his arm around Serah's waist and Snow stood dumbfounded, he had no idea Noel was the man Serah married, and he had no idea of what to do.
"That's cool." Snow said quickly as he nodded and waved good bye to them and walked to Fang who stood by the bar now, she needed a drink after atmosphere like that.
"Whisky." Snow said as he sat beside Fang who drank down another shot of Vodka.
"Let's forget that happened." Fang said picking up another glass of Vodka and Snow brought up the whisky to his lips, his hands were sweaty and his chest felt pained. How could he forget? The man he trusted the love of his life with, fell in love with his love and took her from him. He looked over to Fang who looked to him and nodded before he seen a group of students go over to her and dump a bucket of water over her as a prank, Snow laughed and slammed the whisky down on the table as Fang looked at the students who were with Jon. That punk!
"Jon...you ASShole." She said as she wiped her eyes and looked at Jon who laughed and ran away with the students following.
"Let's forget that happened." Snow smile at Fang as he brought up her shot glass of Vodka to his mouth and drank it as she just slapped him softly on the cheek with a smile.
Serah watched the whole ordeal happen, Fang was drenched, her short party dress stuck to her body revealing her curves and breast, her hair wet stuck to her face before Snow pushed it away, and she seen Snow take off his coat and put it over her as he drank her glass of Vodka. Didn't Snow realize that he had a person who cared for him? Fang cared for Snow. Serah wasn't sure if Fang loved Snow romantically, it was hard to tell with the way they behaved, but she knew Snow was oblivious to such feeling and would have to figure it out on his own.
Fang was now under the covers of Snow's bed with Snow who's back was to her, he was awake and she was as well, she felt his fatigue and she slowly put an arm around him and hugged his back.
"You remember back on Gran Pulse when we shared the tent, this reminds me of it." Fang said softly and Snow felt her embrace, he closed his eyes with a few tears falling out, he wiped them away and opened his eyes.
"It reminds me too." Snow said as he turned around looking at her beautiful face, she was all washed, her hair smelled of his men's conditioner and bodywash, and she wore his white shirt and black tight boxer briefs that were loose on her. He looked into her eyes and then to her lips, Fang stare into his eyes and followed his eyes. He leaned and kissed Fangs lips with his own, he felt the softness of her inviting lips, they tasted like liquor and his did as well. Fang was shocked at Snow's gesture and pulled away quickly and stared at Snow for a while.
"What are you doing?" Fang asked softly as Snow blinked and looked at her calm eyes.
"I don't know." Snow said as he pushed a hair behind her ear and she continued to stare at his blue eyes that were red. She kissed his cheek and hugged him softly.
"Oh Snow." She said as he hugged her back with tears falling from his eyes, he hurt, the one woman he loved and hoped to grow old with...did not love him anymore or will ever...and he knew it and it pained him to know.
"Fang, I..." Snow managed to say out between sobs. "I...I lover her too much." Snow said as Fang closed her eyes and ran her finger softly through his hair.
"Let her go. You have to..." Fang said as Snow just kept lying to himself saying he can move on, forget, and...none of it was true... Snow was miserable and it killed him each day...he was slowly being killed from his depression.
But he felt Fangs care...slowly saving him...was he now the one being saved...
Okay I haven't uploaded a chapter in like forever and I know, I'm sorry for those of you who love this story. I hate it too when writers don't write in like a long time, but I kind a lost interest in the story, but recently I regained interest and I wrote so many different scenarios for this chapter. I settled for this one and its longer than the rest I've written.
This chapter was supposed to have a little seriousness to it, but I'm not good at serious or even like it, so writing this is like improving my writing level. I understand as well if your like WTF isn't this romance. Where's Fang and Snow action?! WTF! This story is written out slow, not rushed like some where the characters are quickly falling for eachother or saying things they wouldn't say for real, so I try to stick with what I think there characters would project.
Oh and I thank you for your reviews! And Jon as well!
Next Chapter: A Glance of Moment
p.s: I can't believe your still reading this, I would've left already. I'm writing the next chapter as we speak.
