A/N: Oh, hey, umm.Sheep? Hehe.Glad to see you're back ^-^ You're right
about the 'mocha' thing -_- I'll have to think up something else .
Mwahahaha.38 reviews ^-^ Please keep them coming, you guys, cuz' although I
don't shamelessly beg for them, I thrive off them o.
So, Sheep, you're a Final Fantasy fan too? Is that the only game [Tactics]
that you like, or are you a fan of the series? Me, hehe, you all probably
already noticed, but I'm a big fan of FFX! But I made up for all the time
it ever took to pump out those chapters by doing a big mass update in one
day. Whew, that took a lot out of me.
Oh, and I noticed you didn't particularly care for the view to be in 3rd,
Sheep. I couldn't write it in first for some reason, and since it was a
mini chapter, I thought what the hey! Now, enough with my babbling, on with
the story!
There, I'd done it, I thought happily as I snuggled into my hero's side. I finally overcame the hard emotional barrier. He'd accepted me, too. I pushed myself slightly away for just a moment, to gaze up into his big, warm, chocolate eyes. I saw many things hidden behind them. Love, compassion, and concern.I also saw a bit of anger, confusion, and guilt. I knew he was still upset about what he did. It was wrong, as much as I hate to admit it.But.It was plausible. Biting my lip, I shuddered, recalling what Kai had done to me. I gasped slightly in surprise as Jack reached out a hand to stroke my cheek. Slowly, and uncomfortably sitting up, he held me in his arms a moment longer. "We should go inside," he whispered into my ear with a motion at the house, his warm and heavy breath trailing down my neck. It felt so good, just to lie here in his arms, but he was right. Nodding, I stood up with a great deal of reluctance. Jack stood up as well, and I followed him as he somberly marched back into the house. None of us had gotten much sleep last night, I knew. Cliff was sprawled out on the floor, zonked out. Smiling, I pulled a blanket off of Jack's bed, and covered his body with it, kneeling down to briefly and lovingly stroke his hair. My cousin was always so good to me. I turned my eyes to Jack. He flashed me a small smile. "Here," he began, softly. "You can sleep in the bed out here, I'll go into the guest room," Nodding, I sat down on his bed as he whisked away to the other bedroom. Pulling the covers tight around me, I flipped off the light before resting my head on his pillow. I tried to fall asleep; for what seemed like eternity. I glanced at the clock. Wow, it had been many hours. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep very easily. Not after this.Resolving it in my mind, I snagged the pillow and the other blanket off the bed. Creeping silently through the house, I found myself in the guest room. The window was cracked open a bit. Oddly enough, no sunlight was penetrating the room, though a nice cool breeze was blowing in and out. My eyes drifted to Jack. He was lying on the bed, sleeping. Though one couldn't call it exactly peaceful, he looked calm enough. The phrase may be over used, and over dramatized, but it was true in this case: Jack looked like an angel asleep. A small smile crept onto my puffed up lips. As quietly as I could, I set the pillow down next to his, and sat down next to him. Leaning back, I lied flat, and pulled the covers over me. Facing him, I stared at Jack for quite a long time, thinking. But I eventually fell into a somewhat deep sleep. My eyes slowly fluttered open. I didn't know how long I had been asleep, and for a moment, I didn't even know where I was. Then, it came back. I was in bed with Jack.What?! I swear, I almost screamed. What the hell was I doing in bed with Jack?! I whipped my head up in surprise to find myself face to face with Jack. "I guess I had a night time visitor," he chuckled softly. Mentally sighing in relief, I now remembered why I was there with him. "I couldn't sleep," I stated simply. He nodded understandingly, and started to sit up. I noticed him wince in obvious pain, though he tried to hide it. "I guess I'm a little sore, eh." he smiled weakly. He reached his hand out to me, and I noticed his knuckles. "Jack!" "What?" he asked, blinking, looking kind of stupid. Rolling my eyes in exasperation, I just shook my head. Getting up by myself, I walked around to the other side of the bed. Firmly taking his hand, I held it up to his eyes, so he could see what I was talking about. "Oh yah.Guess I better take care of that, huh." he trailed off. Smirking slightly, I stood on my tiptoes, and kissed him on the nose. "You do that," Grinning sheepishly, he walked off towards the bathroom. I glanced at the bed. What the hell, I sighed, and made it swiftly. I walked out into the main room and saw Cliff still asleep. Donning a evil grin, I crouched down, and roughly shook him. "Bloody murder!" he shot right up, and screamed, with wide eyes. Not being able to stop myself, I let loose a small giggle. Blinking a few times, he muttered, "Oh, it's just you," Grinning playfully, I said in mock contempt, "And just what is that supposed to mean, you lazy bum?" Groaning, Cliff got up stiffly, and stretched. "It means," he began with a yawn. "You're a major pain in the ass," "I love you too," I shot back sarcastically. We remained in our positions a few minutes longer, staring each other down, and giving each other the evil eye. Jack came in, and looked at us, obviously bewildered. Cliff and suddenly burst out laughing, making Jack look even more confused. Glancing down self consciously at himself, Jack ran back into the bathroom to check his appearance. This of course, only made Cliff and I laugh harder. Emerging a few moments later, Jack shot us both a glare. Giggling, I walked over to him. "You look fine," I assured him, linking my arms around his neck, and stroking his lower back once or twice. He cheered up considerably, which I found oddly amusing. In any case, after wrapping his arms around my waist, and hugging me tight, a silence fell over our odd threesome. Jack's eyes suddenly widened. "Cliff! Last night.What about Ann? Did you forget?" Cliff's eyes glazed over for a moment. "No, I didn't, Jack," he snapped coolly. "I went to check on her while you were gone." "And.?" "She's fine.now that is," "." "." "I caught her just in time." "I see." Jack murmured thoughtfully.
A/N: Mwah? An unconventional cliffy? [Meaning it doesn't end at the climax, it just.ends .;] Ooh.A first for this story. A almost full two-paged chapter. Doesn't seem very long to some, but then again, I have a lot more chapters than most people.I end it when I feel it needs to be ended.
Mucho Thanks to Square Soft for this chapter. Everyone --( ?_? Shiara: Eh heh ^^;
Well, you see, I wrote this whole chapter while listening to Suteki da ne [Elegant, isn't it?/Isn't it Wonderful?] Hehe, I even got to sing along in my head cuz' I know the English lyrics ^.~ It inspired me, you see.Yes! You must all go out like mindless zombies, and if you don't own Final Fantasy X, buy it and become obsessed [or was it possessed?] like me! And if you do own it, then go play it again, and get the sound track cd, or at least download Suteki da ne, and To Zanarkand!
