Disclaimers: Don't own the characters... do own the bad writing. =p
kuri-queen-of-feels asked: Hey~ Maybe you could write something about Noel and Serah watching some fireworks? ^^ I've toyed with the idea in my own drabbles but I lost the motivation for what I wrote. But its still cute! ^^ 3
Decided to go post-LR with this one. I hope it helps you maybe get back some motivation as there should always be Noerah on the internet ^_~ (I've greatly enjoyed the drabbles you've written, btw).
"So, what do you think?" Serah asked her companion and best friend as they watched fireworks shoot off into the sky. A large crowd had gathered for the event here and was so reminiscent of the fireworks in Bodhum before the fall that it left a tear in her eye.
"It's amazing. I never took the time to watch them when I had business in Yusnaan, now I'm beginning to think I missed out."
"You had a lot on your mind back then. It makes sense you wouldn't pay attention."
"Snow never seemed to forget. At least, that's what Lightning told me."
"I guess." She felt Noel place his hand on her shoulder and turn her to face him, concern etched on his face.
"Where is Snow anyways? I thought he'd be here with you when you asked me to come." Serah winced and turned her head away, a small tear escaping and sliding down her cheek. "Serah… Is everything okay?"
"Um," How could she say it? Noel would probably just prefer if she just said it without elaborating. "We kind of broke up."
"Oh… I'm so sorry." He hugged her although Serah still caught the look of shock that crossed his face. Noel seemed more shocked than she had been when it happened. Of course, it hadn't been as unexpected for her as it was for him in this moment. Upon their rebirth all the time separated had caught up with her and Snow. All the things never said, the time never spent. It was like starting the relationship all over again and they were both different people now than they had been. "Why did you ask me to come with you then? Wouldn't the reminder of how he proposed sting just a bit?" Serah smiled as she pulled away from him arms, and leaned up against the nearby pier, Noel following quickly to join her side although he didn't take his eyes off of her.
"That day wasn't just about the proposal, it was about making a wish. You see, it was tradition in Bodhum. For me, I wanted to live and be free of my curse as a l'cie. Snow's proposal just, reminded me of what I really wanted."
"I see." He smiled, head turning back up to the explosions in the sky above them. "So, are you wishing for anything tonight?"
"Maybe but I'm not going to tell you." Serah nudged his shoulder when he looked back to give her an overplayed pout before smiling again at her. "What about you?" A small 'hmm' escaped Noel's lips before he answered her.
"I think I'm done wishing. Hasn't really worked out for me in the past anyways what with everything that happened with Etro."
"That's sad Noel. Everyone should have something they want to wish for, even if it's a little selfish."
"That's just it, I have everything I could ever possibly want now." What was he saying? Luckily she didn't have to wait long for an answer as he reached out to cover her hand with his own his head moving in to kiss her, lights bursting as she closed her eyelids that had nothing to do with the fireworks exploding over their heads.
Her heart was pounding by the time he pulled away, deep blue eyes nervously assessing her reaction although really by now he should have known her answer.
"Yes."
