A/N- Heya! It's 5AM right now and I am so tired right now, but either way here's a little something something. I think my grammar and vocabulary broke at around 3AM. By the way thank you so much for the support. I really hope you guys understand how great it makes me feel. Cheers!
The Punch Lord - If you're referring to the hospital scene then yes it was an accident. She wanted so badly to cry, but she also tried everything she could to not as well. So the situation was that she was biting her lip to keep the sobs in, she was biting her lip so hard that she broke through the skin.
OPFAN- I will absolutely consider it~
kenechiokeke6- Cheers! I appreciate it!
One Red Rose – "All of my love is concentrated onto you."
"So who wants to pick up food for the rest of us?" The bustling room quieted down at an almost frightening rate. It was like she announced that she kicked a puppy or something. She rolled her eyes and sighed when everyone's gaze suddenly disconnected from hers. Vanille and Stella returned to doing each other's nails on the couch, speaking with very subtle, nearly whispering tones. Prompto and Gladiolus, who were sprawled on the floor closest to the television, continued their button smashing on the poor game controllers as their characters beat the life right out of one another. Ignis on the other hand didn't even bother to acknowledge Fang's question and continued to bury his nose into his novel. "Seriously? What are you guys, twelve or something?" Like a ghost, she received no response from her friends. She snickered to herself. "So this is how you want this to go down huh?" She looked around the room one last time for any volunteers. Seeing none she placed her hands on her hips and casually paced through each word as she spoke. "Fine then, I guess we are just going to have to do… CALL NOT!"
A chorus of 'call nots' echoed her own thereafter dead evenly; meaning that the conflict at hand was not resolved. Sometimes I hate my friend's .Is what ran through Fang's mind as she pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly. She was really hungry, her stomach demanded sustenance. Though it looked like lady luck was on her side today, seeing as just as she was about to give up a knight in shining armor came to her rescue.
"What are you guys yelling about?" A sleepy eyed Noctis murmured as he stumbled out of his room in a black tank top and grey sweat pants.
"Noctis! Just the man that I wanted to see!" Hearing Fang's sweet and innocent voice chilled him to the bone; and not in a good way. Noctis rubbed his eyes until sleep didn't blur his vision anymore. He knew that something was definitely wrong when he saw that the both Fang and the rest of the group leered at him like he was a piece of meat. This was not going to work in his favor. The post nap Noctis didn't bother to put up a fight and simply replied with.
"What do you guys want now?" Noctis swore that he had to cover his eyes when their smiles lit up with happiness.
"That's the spirit Noctis! How about some exercise since you just woke up? You see, we're all kind of hungry so could you be a little sweetheart and pick up some food for us?"
"…Fine." Sometimes I hate my friend's."I'm heading to Lorelei's Coffee Shop. When I'm done changing give me a list of what you guys want." Noctis hobbled back to his room. Closing the door behind him he turned to see a body stir under the sheets of his bed before a head of pink hair popped out from the covers. He walked over to sit at the edge of the bed, his weight causing the body to roll towards him. He twisted his body so that he was able to brush the hair out of his girlfriends face. "Good afternoon, princess." A displeased grunt came as a response, causing Noctis to smile. "Want something to eat, Light?"
"Where are you going?" A low feminine voice croaked, seeing as how it was still heavily laced with weariness. Light peered over the blankets just slightly, eyes following Noctis as he stood from the bed and headed over to his dresser.
"Lorelei's Coffee Shop."
"The place with the good bagels?" Noctis turned to look at Lightning as she sat up in his bed with wide eyes and mouth opened with awe; her sleepiness becoming a thing of the past. He loved it when her cute, childish side peeked through in her personality. Unfortunately his pure thoughts didn't last long as his eyes begun to drift south. The strap of her burgundy chemise that she adorned slipped sinfully down her shoulder, revealing more cleavage than he was comfortable with; at least when his friends were around. Noctis turned away quickly, quietly scolding himself for his rather carnal thoughts. In the midst of his self pestering he pulled off his top in one swift motion; with his back turned to Lightning. Needless to say the adulterated notions that Noctis was banishing were quickly absorbed into Lightning's mind as her eyes traced the chiseled outlines of his back.
"Yeah the place with the bagels, want anything?" Noctis searched through the drawers as he waited for Light to answer. As seconds went by with no answer Noctis turned around to see his girlfriend checking out his physique. Their eyes connected for a brief second before she quickly turned her attention towards the window to her left, a pretty red spreading across her cheeks. It wasn't often that Noctis caught Lightning eyeing him, so whenever he did he would do everything in his power to make her blush even more. With confidant strides, he made it over to Lightning in no time. His figure blocked her view of the window, making her look up at him to avoid looking at his sculpted abdomen. Getting her attention he placed his arms on either side of her, caging her in between. He bent at the waist and arched his back so that he was looming over her. Their faces were mere inches apart while their lips were just a breath away from each other. "See something you like?"
"What I'd like is a bagel with cream cheese, Noctis." Light frowned, only because of Noctis' smug look. She hated when he was cocky, especially at her expense.
"Really, is that all? Because I think there's something else that you would like from me." His voice became a low and sultry growl."Something much more satisfying." He purred into her ear then moved down so his lips met the pale skin of her slender neck. He licked, sucked then bit the sensitive part at the crook of her neck creating a mark. Her breaths became heavy as Noctis caressed her thigh, pushing the satin fabric of her chemise higher and higher each time. Noctis worked his way down to her chest and back up to the other side of her collar bone leaving behind a trail of kisses, each making her quiver more than the last. Light tangled her hand through his hair as he took the other strap and began to pull it down.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Hey Noctis what's taking you so long? We're starving over here!" Lightning immediately broke out of her steamy trance and pushed Noctis off of her. She headed to the bathroom, curtly fixing the straps of her chemise, flushing up to her ears. Noctis snarled in annoyance before stalking towards the door, swinging it open so hard that it's a wonder that it's still attached to the hinges. He was met with a dumfounded Prompto and a Fang that was laughing her ass off. "…Fang told me to come get you… why are you not wearing a shirt?" Noctis swiped the piece of paper that he spotted in Prompto's hand and slammed the door shut; to which incited Fang's laughter to increase in volume. Noctis changed into a pair of dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt while replaying mental images where both Prompto and Fang would be tortured. Just as Noctis placed his wallet in his pocket and grabbed his keys, Lightning emerged from the bathroom sporting black shorts and a thin long sleeved sweater.
"Ready to go?"
"I didn't know you were coming."
"I was serious about wanting that bagel." At that remark Noctis seemed to forget all of his anger beforehand.
"Hi what how can I help you?" "I can help who's next over here!"
Noctis and Lightning arrived at the coffee shop only to see it packed with people. Noctis suggested that they go somewhere else but Lightning was very adamant on getting her bagel and so they stood in line. The smell of baked goods and freshly brewed drinks felt like heaven to their empty stomachs. They continued to persevere through the long wait, at least there was light music playing on the speakers.
"Why are there still Valentine's Day decorations up? Isn't it March already?" Noctis commented as he looked around the store questioningly. The shop was indeed decked out with red and pink hearts and a baby cupid here and there.
"Yeah well it's just a gimmick to get people to spend more money on the same crap; the only thing that's different is the cutesy name they give it. I swear the 'hot chocolate peanut butter delight' is exactly the same as the 'nutty lovers.' It's ridiculous that people actually fall for this cheap advertisement." Lightning scowled, clearly not a fan of the extra $1.25 for the specialty drinks.
"My, my, aren't you observant." Noctis commented playfully. This made her lips form a little pout as she stared defiantly at her boyfriend who was mocking her. Unable to hold back, he engulfed her form with his in a hug from behind. His chin rested in top of her head while his hands wrapped around her waist. They were standing in line for ten minutes now and they were still fourth from the counter. They swayed to the gentle music before Noctis froze when a familiar tune started to play. Light unraveled herself from his arms and moved a step forward in the line. Noticing how her shoulders tensed it seemed that he wasn't the only one who recognized the upbeat, jazzy tempo. He smiled. Might as well push her buttons a little more. "Light~"
"What Noctis?"
"Do you by any chance recognize this song?"
"Not a clue."
"Come on Light, it's bad to lie." His hands slid down here body as he closed the distance between them. "Remember the fox trot? The waltz? The tango? Dance with me."
"Don't cause a scene Noctis." He ignored her.
"Don't forget Light, this is your favorite song. Dance with me, pulchra."
"Noct- "The said person left no room for argument as he swept her away, hand on her waist, while his other hand grasped hers. Her reluctance melted away as she fell in tempo with him. Lightning knew from the beginning that she was fighting a losing battle as soon as the song started. It was the song they first met and danced to after all. Lightning remembered the day Serah begged her to go to her ballroom lessons with her. Lightning meant to stay only for the beginning but it seemed that fate had other ideas for her. Her first dance partner was none other than Noctis. From the very first step they took to the very last, their fight for dominance did not once waver. They were both stubborn, they were both fighters, they were both fierce. Thankfully many people had cleared up after grabbing their order, making the couple's movements much less dangerous by giving them more room. They fit perfectly together as he carried here through dips and spins. Their intricate footwork was perfectly in sync. Every flick of her wrist, every shift of her legs and every motion of her hips he was there to complement her. Like a well oiled machine they moved in perfect unison; controlled and calm yet fiery and passionate. As the song came to an end the two found that they were breathless as he pulled her up from their final dip. A round of applause whistles and cheers erupted from the coffee shop causing them to snap back into the real world.
"Looks like we've still got it."
"It's only been two years since the championship; don't talk like we're damn old."
"Uhm… I can help whoever's next…" The young cashier meekly signals the next customer.
"About time." Light huffed, rubbing her stomach, trying to soothe the grumbles. Noctis pulled Lightning along to the counter and placed their order. Noctis peeks over to the vase next to the cash register and plucks a rose from it, leaving a five dollar bill when the girl looks at him funny. He walks up behind Lightning, wraps his arms around her once again and holds the rose in front of her face.
"All of the love I have is for you." Light turns in his arms so that she is facing him; a puzzled look with a hint of minor disgust decorates her face.
"You know, you say some of the cheesiest things sometimes."
"Yeah, but you still love me anyway so it's all good."
