It had been a long drive to their destination. Fang started thinking of all the places they might have been heading to; Another hotel, some private getaway. Even to an abandoned warehouse. Yet, none of those was what she saw. It wasn't that she always had sex on her mind, it was just that she grew to accept that Lightning always had sex on her mind. She didn't expect Lightning to take her on an actual date, one that involved the movies. Not the slang term for sex, either.
As they walked inside the lobby, Lightning leaned against a wall by the door. Fang followed suit, wondering what the reason was for. After a few minutes, Serah walked through the same door they had, along with a tall blond giant. In comparison, Fang thought the man looked like a pedophile trying to date a preteen. She spared a glance at Lightning and noticed the woman's demeanor change to one of protectiveness. She kicked off the wall to greet her sister and her date as Fang stayed behind. After the soldier talked to Serah, the three walked over as Light introduced them.
"I'm Snow Villiers, Serah's fiancé." The blonde stuck his hand out and gave Fang a big grin. She gripped his hand with as much strength as she had before introducing herself.
"Oerba Yun Fang, pleased to meet you. Hello again, Serah." Serah gave the Australian a hug, smiling at Lightning as she backed away. The biker gestured for the two love birds to walk ahead as she and Fang made up the rear. They walked up to the confession stand and looked over the showtimes for the movies that were available. Fang had her fingers crossed for something violent with lots of blood, but Serah had something else in mind.
"Four tickets to Les Misérables, please."
Fang could have slapped herself for ever thinking it was okay to come out. The last thing she wanted was to sit through a musical. Looking beside her, she figured Lightning was against it as well, but kept her opinion to herself. It made her feel slightly better, knowing she wasn't alone when it came to two hours of torture. The worker told Serah the price and she turned to them. Fang reached for her cash in her pouch but Lightning stopped her and handed the girl her credit chip. As they walked to their movie, Fang could sense Light get frustrated with the couple's antics so she tried to distract her.
"Wanna have a go in the bathroom? We'll be back before the credits roll." Fang whispered in the strawberry blonde's ear. Lightning ran her fingers through her hair before exhaling.
She eyed her before shaking her head. "As tempting as that sounds, I promised her I'd watch this sorry excuse for a movie with her and that ogre."
Fang shrugged and continued to follow the two to the movie. She couldn't complain, at least she was spending time with the woman that managed to catch her eye. They sat down just as the last trailer played after buying popcorn and nachos. Fang already knew she would sleep through the movie, she just hoped Lightning would lend her shoulder.
Forty minutes into the movie and Fang was ready to explode. She wouldn't take another minute of this sappy, lovey dovey, stop my ears from bleeding, movie. She looked around, noticing all the men in the theater who were either asleep, or about to be. She looked to her right as Lightning was having a hard time staying awake herself. The only two people that were fully engrossed in the movie was Serah and Snow. Fang lightly tapped on her date's shoulder, causing the woman to react in a way only a soldier would. Chuckling, Fang told Lightning that she was going to use the restroom.
In the bathroom, Fang washed her face to try to wake herself up more. The last thing she wanted was to fall asleep around the woman she was trying to impress. She tried her best to sit through the torturous video, but dammit! She just couldn't do it. She washed her face again and looked up into the mirror. Her reflection wasn't the only thing she saw.
There, causally leaning on the stall, stood a smirking Lightning. Fang smiled, then turned around to face her. No words needed to be exchanged as Light flicked her head to a nearby stall. Fang calmly walked into the spacious booth and turned the water on as Lightning locked the door behind her. Like her namesake, the strawberry blonde was there, helping Fang on the edge of the sink. Lightning raised an eyebrow, causing the Australian to snicker before wrapping her fingers into soft pink hair and pulling her in for a kiss.
At first, the kiss started out sloppy, just two people wanting to relieve some tension. Then it got slower, more passionate and deep. Fang let out a breathy moan as Lightning slowly placed kisses down her neck before going back to her lips. Each second that passed, Fang could feel herself get more attached to the woman. Light took a step closer, leaving no space between them as her hands began to explore Fang's body.
The soldier slipped her hands under her black sports bra. She licked Fang's bottom lip, seeking permission before being let in. As Fang's own tongue joined the dance, Lightning's skilled hands massaged her breast, her thumbs lightly circling her nipples. Fang shivered from the touch, never experiencing such gentleness from the usually rough biker. She moaned into the kiss, something Lightning accepted greedily. Once the tanned girl's nipples hardened, Light traveled lower.
The soldier lightly played with the woman's bud between two fingers. Fang gripped Lightning's hair tighter, releasing yet another sound. She wrapped her arm around the foreigner's waist as she gradually slid two fingers inside her. She set a steady pace, one Fang could easily match with her hips. Their kiss continued while she began grinding against Light's hand, pushing herself closer to her peak. She knew the woman could sense her release since her movement became hungry, jerking against her hand to go as deep as she could.
After a few seconds, Fang's muscles contracted around Light, causing the woman to see stars as she climaxed. She moaned, the sound bouncing off the wall as she broke their kiss and reattached herself to Lightning's neck. She bit down, sucking hard as she rode out her orgasm. The soldier pulled out, licking her fingers clean as always before kissing Fang as passionately as earlier. Fang was breathless, she never experienced such an intimate moment as this. She had no words, not that she could since her mouth was still occupied. Lightning broke the kiss this time just as she took a step back. "We should go before she comes looking for us."
Fang nodded, jumping off the sink before walking towards the door. She stumbled a bit, still not graining full function of her legs, but Lightning was there to catch her. She reached to turn the water off then wrapped her arm around the girl, preventing her from falling again. They walked out of the bathroom and headed to their theater until Lightning stopped them. "I told them I'd bring back popcorn."
Fang laughed, as the girl glared at her before they turned to head towards the snack bar. With popcorn and a drink in hand, they found their way back to Serah and Snow, who were still, fully engrossed in the movie. As Lightning sat next to a crying Serah, the girl reached over to grab the popcorn while sniffing. "It took you guys over an hour, was there a line?" Lightning just nodded and continued to look in the direction of the screen. Fang could pretend that she was watching the movie, though her mind was still replaying the events in the bathroom. She was sure that people would think she was heartless for having a ghost of smile on her face while everyone else weeped.

"That was such a beautiful movie! What's your favorite part, Snow?" Serah asked, walking backwards to see her fiancé's facial expression. She had been talking about the movie nonstop from the moment the credits rolled. They fell into the same formation as before while walking to the car. Snow scratched the back of his head as he made a noise to stall.
"I can't really pick a favorite, the whole movie was really good." He laughed, but Fang couldn't blame the man for the excuse, there was no way she could have lasted. She could give the man props for at least trying to pay attention.
Lightning sucked her teeth, mumbling a name that earned her a glare from her younger sister that quickly turned into a smile. Fang's arm had been wrapped around Lightning's the moment they stepped out of the theater. She was surprised Lightning didn't tense up like she had previous times. Fang hadn't expected it to be as chilly as it was, had she known, she would have brought her own jacket. Lightning's jacket was currently draped over her shoulders as the soldier wore dark dress pants and a long sleeve turtle neck to keep warm.
Once they made it to the cars, Lightning climbed on her motorcycle. Serah stood beside Lightning with her hands on her hips. "I just can't see why you don't want to ride with us." The younger girl pouted as Lightning pulled her helmet on, leaving the face protector up.
"I prefer my speed." She stated. Even Fang knew how much the woman enjoyed cruising down the highway at 321km/ph.
"Why do I have to have 'the safest car in the world', but you get the most dangerous?" She added air quotes for emphasis. Fang looked at the car beside them. It looked like a standard hatchback from the outside, but she could only imagine what the inside looked like.
Lightning gestured for the Australian to get on the bike before replying to her sister. "Because I worry about you, not me." She shut her mask, making her response final as she powered Odin up. With Serah and Snow in her car, the two pulled out, driving behind them at a 'safe' speed.
As they parked at their second destination, a fancy restaurant, Snow jumped out and jogged towards them. "Thanks again for taking us out, sis." He said while patting Lightning on the back. She shrugged his hand off before glaring at him.
"I am not your sister, and if you touch me again, I'll break your hand off." She threatened, clearly upset with her personal space being invaded. She took a deep breath to calm herself down as Snow took a step back with his hands up defensively. It seemed to be working until Snow made a comment about taking her medication, which prompted a punch to the face. Serah glared at her before walking to Snow.
"I'm not going to scold you because he asked for it, but please try to be more patient with him." Serah said while looking over Snow's reddening cheek. Lightning looked away while Serah tended to her boyfriend's cheek.
Fang couldn't figure out what made the soldier go from zero to sixty in just a short span but she wasn't bothered. From what she gathered from Lebreau and Hope, she knew the woman was rough around the edges. She could sense that Serah was disappointed in her sister and that her sister was ashamed of herself. She didn't see why Snow would deserve a hit like that, but she could guess it was something if even Serah understood. Hoping to defuse the tension, Fang clapped her hands together to grab their attention.
"How 'bout we go inside before I freeze my tits off, yeah?"
They walked inside the Japanese restaurant, where they were greeted by the man at the door. They informed him of their reservation and they were seated in front of a hibachi bar. Both Lightning and Snow pulled the chairs out for their dates before sitting themselves. The menus were already placed before they arrived so they took a few minutes to look over them.
Fang noticed that the least expensive thing on the menu was close to 910 gil, meaning Fang had no choice but to order something she actually craved. She would have been happy ordering a salad since she knew Lightning would be paying. The waitress came then, pulling out a notepad and pen. He asked for Fang's order first since she had been closer. For a moment, she sat there, looking over the menu to quickly decide. Lightning squeezed her leg under the bar, causing her to glance up. "May we have the special? Along with three beers and an orange soda, please." Lightning asked politely as she handed the man the menus. He told them the chef would be out shortly, and that he will return with their drinks in a moment.
Fang blinked a few times, finally having her mind catch up to her body's reaction to Light's hand still being on her thigh. Instead of removing it like she thought Lightning might do, she inched her way up further, making Fang reach under the bar to stop her from any idea she might have. She wasn't the least bit bothered by the rebel ordering for her, since it took the trouble out of deciding what would be acceptable. When she finally started paying attention to the conversation at the table, they were just transitioning to another topic.
"Well, I was hoping you could go shopping with me Friday?" Serah asked. She sounded as if she knew the answer already. She became sad when Lightning informed her that she had to work. Fang couldn't stand to see mini-Light so sad, so she spoke up, trying to find her way into the conversation.
"I'll go with you, Serah."
All three of them looked towards Fang, as if they just realized she was there. Serah's expression was surprise as Lightning had a thin pink eyebrow lifted. Both asked in confirmation, which Fang nodded to. "I'd love to go."
Fang hated shopping more than she hated being home, but if it earned her brownie points with Serah, she could sacrifice her time. After all, it was for a good cause. Fang tried her best to focus on what the girl wanted to shop for. She could see the smile on Lightning's face, which she found almost as beautiful as the soldier herself. A few minutes after their drinks arrived, the chef came out with the ingredients.
He placed four pieces of steak and lobster and a few handfuls of scallops and shrimps aside before oiling up the bar. He dumped rice, noodles, and vegetables on the burning. Fang had never been to a hibachi bar before, since they didn't have any where she was from, so she was amazed by the man cooking right before her eyes.
Cooking was never a strong suit of Fang's, so Vanille always cooked. It was something they realized after one too many emergency calls. From then on, Fang wasn't allowed to step foot in the kitchen unless it was for drinks or toast. Fang was okay with that though, the kitchen was her least favorite place to be.
A little after twenty minutes passed and the man placed the food on their places. Fang looked at her place that was loaded with Filet Mignon, shrimps, scallops, and lobster, along with rice and noodles. Everyone gave thanks before enjoying the delicious meal.
Conversation had been light for the rest of the evening as they left the restaurant in high spirits, despite how they went in. Serah and Fang exchanged numbers for Friday and went their separate ways. Snow apologized for upsetting Lightning and thanked her again. The biker had spent almost a thirteen thousand and five hundred Gil, way more money than Fang thought necessary.
Lightning pulled into Fang's driveway, she pulled her face protector up as the Australian got off the bike. "You didn't have to do that." She stated. Confusing the woman, Fang raised an eyebrow at her. "Serah. You didn't have to do that."
She shrugged her shoulders, brushing the comment off. "I didn't do it cause I felt I had to." She replied. She thanked Lightning for the date and wished her a good night before she started walking to the door, but she was called back to the woman. The strawberry blonde pulled her helmet up and pulled Fang into a passionate kiss, leaving the tan woman in the same state as earlier, breathless.
"Goodnight, Fang." She said once they parted. She waited until Fang went inside before pulling off and heading home herself. Fang closed the door behind her before slumping to the ground with a giddy smile on her face. She was thankful it was still before ten, meaning Vanille wouldn't be home for a few more hours.
It was a bittersweet moment, feeling like a kid again. It was completely out of her nature and yet, still was. She knew she was starting to fall for the mysterious rebel, but she didn't care. She wrapped the thick jacket around her tighter before taking in a deep breath. No, she didn't care one bit about falling in love with Lightning Farron.
A/N:
Gil=Yen=US dollar...So the prices are yen prices of things you can buy in America and Serah's car is aV40 if you were wondering.
