Authors Notes

Ah, where to even begin? Okay, well, I recently just graduated and now I have more time to write, I guess? Except I have to work, so…eugh.

Other than that, I'm off to Australia for a bit…Erm, I helped my friend with his Fanfic for Ever17 and Clannad so that was another thing I did that occupied me…

Hmm, other than that I was inspiration surfing (just a lame excuse for playing other media). So, sorry for not updating in a while.

I think my writing is a bit rusty, but well, I'll do my best. And…Haha, those suggestive scenes that are a part of this story now are getting a bit…well, half-awkward and half-exciting for me to write. Man, I think I'm approaching serious M territory sometimes. But it's so fun to write it! Hope you like it~

Reviews and such are, as always, very welcome! In fact, as of now, 3 more reviews to 100 reviews!

Oh and before I forget, due to recommendation I made a blog to update on my writing status. As of now it's empty though. You can find the link on my profile page. Or well, just type in FateburnFamily (It uses blogspot) in the address bar.


IX – Pre-Date Worries

"Lightning's Perspective"

"So, Claire…I would very much like a, very detailed explanation on what I have just discovered." Serah asked, struggling to maintain a straight face.

"Um, *cough* I have no idea what you are talking about, Serah! So, I need a dress for…" I started, but was instantly cut off by Serah.

"For your date with Hope, right? Of course! I have it all ready, as well as your…'battle underwear'. Go get him, Claire!" Serah exclaimed.

I was stunned. How did she…?

"Um, Well, Sis, apparently…"

Snow wasn't able to finish the sentence as my fist met his face, and he flew backwards into the kitchen.

Serah gave me a look that said 'What was that for?' but then shrugged, and then got back to bugging me.

"So, So, Claire, I would really, really appreciate a rundown on this situation! Preferably, one that is very detailed, I especially want to know your own feelings!" Serah began shouting like an excited kid.

"N-no! It's nothing like that! It's just a friendly get together I suggested! I just felt like making it up to him for treating him so badly! It's purely platonic!" I began firing off the first things that come to my mind.

For a brief moment, Serah stared at me, slack jawed, and then her excitement died down.

"W-what? Friendly…Friendly get together…? Like, only as friends?" Serah asked slowly, as if confirming what she just heard.

I nodded.

Another awkward silence filled the air for a brief moment.

"Y-you didn't tell that to Hope, did you?" Serah asked, almost in a whisper.

"Yes, I did."

Serah proceeded to put her face in her palm, and began pacing around the floor in front of me, muttering something along the lines of 'disappointed' and sighing discontentedly.

Serah suddenly looked at me and gave me a look of exasperation.

"Alas, poor Hope. He must be heartbroken! Claire, you better make this up to him by making it the best date he's ever had!" Serah exclaimed loudly.

I winced at the volume of her outburst.

"Like I said, it's…"

"NO EXCUSES! The poor boy…Oh…" Serah held her face in feigned horror.

She shot me a sharp look. But behind those eyes…

Oh no…

"Come on, Claire! You're coming with me!" Serah declared and pulled me towards her room.

"N-nooo! Serah! Stop! What are you doing?" I exclaimed in horror.

She pushed me into her room, and shut her door, making sure to lock it.

"S-serah? I won't get mad, so please sto-"I was cut off by her pushing me onto the bed.

Her eyes looked half-crazed, and she licked her lips in a wry smile.

She put her hand on my clothes and…ripped them off.

"W-wait! Serah, what are you doing?" I screamed as I tried (feebly) to push her off me.

"It's no use resisting, Claire! Just accept your fate!" Serah said as she pulled off my pants.

"No! Serah, Stop! We can't do this!" I implored.

Serah rested her hands on my undergarments for a while, and just as I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had stopped…

I felt fabric being ripped and the cool breeze blowing over my bare body from the open window.

"Serah! Wait! We can't do this! We're siblings! Besides, I wanted to save my…my first time, for him." The last part came out as a feeble whisper as tears began to gather at my eyes.

As I braced myself for any form of penetration or molestation…nothing happened.

I opened my eyes to a bewildered Serah who was staring at me with strange eyes.

"Claire, what are you talking about?" Serah asked with an almost mean smile on her face.

"I just thought that I had to force you out of those drab clothing and force these on you." Serah gestured towards the 'battle underwear', or rather, sexy lingerie that she showed me.

"Besides, Claire, I wouldn't dream of depriving Hope the joy of taking your first…eventually." Serah smiled wryly as she helped me put on the underwear.

I was too shocked to say anything…And the embarrassment and humiliation began to dawn on me.

By the time I noticed it, I was fully dressed in a nice dress complete with a necklace of a lightning bolt, the one I gave Serah as a present.

"S-Serah, not a word about what happened to anybody, right?" I asked nervously.

She gave me an impish smile before replying.

"Maybe."

As I was checking her face for any sign of assurance, I heard a strange sound and the door suddenly broke down.


"Snow's Perspective"

"Come on, Claire! You're coming with me!"

As I was walking out of the kitchen, I heard Serah dragging sis away to our room.

I wondered what was going on, but decided it was probably in my best interests to avoid butting in to girl business.

But…But I'm curious. With my curiosity reaching critical levels, I decided to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"W-wait! Serah, what are you doing?"

"It's no use resisting, Claire! Just accept your fate!"

…Wait, what are they doing? Can it be…? No!

I cried out within myself as I continued to listen.

"No! Serah, Stop! We can't do this!"

…It can't be anything else…What is going on behind this door is probably…

"Serah! Wait! We can't do this! We're siblings!"

Probably some really hot lesbian se-….I mean, Serah cheating on me by raping Sis!

Unable to hear anything else, I backed away from the door, all the way towards the end of the corridor. And, with all my might, began charging towards the door.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"I cried out as I charged right through the door.

I stumbled onto the floor, but quickly got up.

"Serah! No matter how much you love your sister, I can't believe you would cheat on me with her!" I shouted out loud as I point my finger towards the sisters.

…the fully clothed sisters, Serah and Sis.

As I tried to contemplate what happened, I suddenly felt myself being hit with something and flying right out the open window.


'Lightning's Perspective"

'H-he heard it…he heard it all! How else could he have misunderstood?' I thought in horror as Serah merely giggled at the situation.

"Don't you think hitting him out of a window is a bit much? But well, that was kind of your own fault, dear sister." Serah smirked devilishly at me.

"Anyway, shoo, my dear sister! Or you'll be late! I'm sure Hope wouldn't mind waiting, but let's not let him think he's been stood up! He's already faced one heartbreak!" Serah said as she practically pushed me from her room to the front door.

"Have fun with your date!" Serah exclaimed as she closed the door in my face.

It's not a date…

I sighed as I looked down towards my breasts, pulling my clothes a bit to look at the underwear.

It's so embarrassing! This underwear is just…!

I held my cheeks as I felt them heating up.

I walked towards my car and past Snow who was walking towards the entrance of the house.

Long story short, as I passed through the gate of Serah's house, there was a bug lump of muscle resting on the flowerbed of roses in their garden.


'Ahh, what am I going to do? This underwear is so embarrassing! Sexy lingerie is definitely not my style…' I was agonizing over and over again as I was driving.

'W-what if Hope sees it?"

As soon as I asked myself that question, I began to drift into the world of daydreams.


"So, Light, I know I said it once before, but that dress really looks nice." Hope complimented me once again.

"Uuu~ I see, really?" I replied nervously.

We were walking in a park, admiring the beautiful flowerbeds.

Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow.

"Kyaa!" I screamed out as I pushed down on my fluttering dress.

Panicking, I looked at Hope. He was staring at me, wide-eyed and blushing.

"D-did you see?" I muttered softly, my face burning red in embarrassment.

Hope didn't answer; rather, he slowly walked over to me.

"H-hope?" I asked, feeling slightly fearful.

He stood in front of me, and grasped both my arms tightly in his hands as he leaned on my shoulder.

"Friendly get together, was it, Light? And yet, here you are in front of me, wearing a serene dress and such audacious, sexy underwear. I bet there are some equally as beautiful on your top as well?" He whispered into my ear sultrily.

I shivered at the sensation of his breath upon my ear.

"N-no, this is a misunderstanding Hope, I just…" I couldn't finish my sentence.

Hope, as if taking it as a cue, picked me up bridal style, just like that time in Serah's house.

"H-hope?" I asked, voice filled with fear and…anticipation.

He leaned in and gave me a deep kiss on the lips, taking me by surprise.

I tried resisting his tongue that was trying to gain entry, but I couldn't fight the temptation to just let go.

In the end, I submitted to him and allowed him to have his way with me, and he took the initiative to explore the inside of my mouth with his tongue.

After a long time, we separated with heavy breaths.

Hope began walking, but I was too dazed in ecstasy to inquire as to where we were going.

As soon as I regained my senses, I looked at my surroundings.

I briefly wondered why my surroundings looked vaguely like a hotel room, and why I was on a soft bed, when I felt the cool breeze from the air conditioner blow over my nude body.

W-what? Why am I naked? I began to panic slightly as I tried to recall what happened.

Before I could complete my recollection of events, I heard a door open next to me.

Hope, covered only with a towel on his bottom half, smiled at me.

As I stared at him, I subconsciously began to admire his body. I looked him from top to bottom before noticing an abnormality in his nether regions.

Actually, mine too. There was a strange feeling of liquid around my precious place.

Hope removed the towel and tossed it aside as he leaned over me.

My heart rate accelerated as I stared into his deep, emerald green eyes. My breathing got slightly rougher and I averted my eyes hastily and turned my head away.

He used one hand to cup my cheek and gently pulled my face towards him. My eyes followed and I was once again enraptured by his gentle gaze.

His eyes filled with love as he kissed me, and he gently began to caress different parts of my body with his skillful hands.

I was slightly scared, but I was also relieved and somewhere deep inside of me was anxiously anticipating this…Hoping, for this.

The amount of liquid around my nether region increased and I felt the liquid flowing down my thighs.

I shivered as his hands made their way to the source of the liquid and slowly began to caress it.

"N-no, Hope...Stop, we can't…!" I jerked as I felt a strange sensation.

Hope gave me another deep kiss as his finger movement slowly began to speed up.

Something was about to come, my whole body was shaking as I anticipated what was about to come…

"H-hope…P-please, hold me…!" I said, my voice riddled with fear, anticipation, excitement as well as pure transparent, unadulterated happiness.

He embraced me tighter as the feeling intensified.

Just as the feeling of absolute bliss was about to reach its climax…


*Honk* *Honk*

The sound of impatient cars behind me began sounding as I awoke from my daydream.

Damn it! DAMN IT! AGAIN! I was so close!

I cried out inwardly due to my lack of satisfaction at such an abrupt end to such a lovely daydream.

In frustration, I sharply reversed, crashing into the car behind me, and sped off past the green light to where my love awaits!

I mean, to where Hope awaits my arrival!

Ignoring the fact that the drivers that were behind me were further stalled due to a malfunction from me crashing into the one directly behind me, I hurriedly sped towards my meeting with Hope.
