Worlds Apart: Chapter 5 A Perfect Moment
Baralai lazily rolled over, yawned, stretched, rubbed his eyes, and coughed twice. It was a daily routine of his. Something caught his eye; the bed beside him was empty. Jogging down the stairs, trying not to be too concerned, he quickly checked out of the hotel, and raced through the entrance doors. Glancing around, he saw her patting a shoopuff. Relieved, he raced up to her.
She heard footsteps running towards her. Turning, she saw Baralai there, and raised her eyebrows, but smiled. "Did ya miss me?" she asked, with a childish smirk, and leaned in towards him.
Startled, he practically jumped two feet high, and Alearie, seeing this, began to laugh uncontrollably, clutching her stomach, shaking all over, while her newly French-braided pigtails seemed to flap around simultaneously with her laughing.
Seemingly embarrassed at this, his scratched the back of his head, and chuckled nervously. "Uh, you okay?" he questioned after 10 minutes of non-stop laughter. He started to wonder if she could breathe after all that laughing. Walking up to her, he touched her shoulder lightly. She, in return, replied, "Y-yeah, *giggle* I-I'm fine. It's just that you looked like a chocobo, when you jumped back like that!" 'Wait, when did I know what a chocobo was?" She dismissed the thought for now.
He looked at her weirdly, but started laughing too, but only for a second. Then, he flashed her a grin *while Alearie felt like melting*. "Ready to keep going?" Not really waiting for an answer, (he sorta already knew the answer) he reached out and took her hand, while Alearie looked slightly bewildered. Though not really looking forward to passing through Guadosalam, he slowly walked over to the shoopuff. Oh the shoopuff, Alearie sat down beside Baralai, humming, and partly mumbling "Toxic" softly, thinking about Baralai during the whole song.
Baby can't you see,
I'm calling,
A guy like you,
Should wear a warning,
It's dangerous,
I'm fallin'
There's no escape,
I can't wait,
I need a hit,
Baby give me it,
You're dangerous,
I'm lovin' it,
Too high,
Can't come down,
Losing my head,
Spinning 'round and 'round,
Do you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips,
I'm on a ride,
You're toxic,
I'm slipping under,
With a taste of a poison paradise,
I'm addicted to you,
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do,
Don't you know that you're toxic?
It's getting late,
To give you up,
I took a sip,
From my devil's cup,
Slowly,
It's taking over me,
Too high,
Can't come down,
It's in the air,
And it's all around,
Can you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips,
I'm on a ride,
You're toxic,
I'm slipping under,
With a taste of a poison paradise,
I'm addicted to you,
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do,
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?
With a taste of you're lips
I'm on a ride,
You're toxic,
I'm slipping under,
With a taste of a poison paradise,
I'm addicted to you,
Don't you know that you're toxic?
With a taste of you're lips,
I'm on a ride,
You're toxic,
I'm slipping under,
With a taste of a poison paradise,
I'm addicted to you,
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Intoxicate me now,
With your lovin' now,
I think I'm ready now,
I think I'm ready now,
Intoxicate me now,
With your lovin' now,
I think I'm ready now
Baralai, though, could still hear exactly what she was singing, wondering who she was singing about, after seeing her dreamy state. Jealously was pulling at him, and he was twitching uncontrollably. Singing it for the second time, she noticed Baralai clenching his fists, "You okay?" she asked, slightly concerned, and wondering what was bugging him. "Yeah" he spoke through clenched teeth, and his smile looked awfully forced.
"I don't buy it, what's wrong?"
"U-uh, nothing"
"Sure…"
"Yeah"
"Oh come ON!" She was getting very impatient, and she was practically sitting on top of his lap *not that Baralai really minded*.
"E-er…?"
"Pweasy?" she gave him the puppy look, and to her delight, he gave in, and she bounced with joy hugging him.
"W-well, I…uh…wanted to know, who…uh, were you singing about?" While he said this, he was concentrating really hard on his shoes.
Slightly gaping, she snapped her mouth shut 'He heard me?!' was replaying in her mind, over and over again. 'Shit! Shit! Shit!' Alearie shifted uncomfortably, but then the shoopuff had stopped at their destination. 'Yes! Saved by the shoopuff!' murmuring thanks the sky over and over, she quickly jumped off.
Waiting for Baralai to come down, she saw an upsetting expression on his face, replaced immediately by a monotonous expression. Guilt swept over her, and she regretted not telling him. Gathering courage, she ran up to him, grasping his arm, she stood on her toes (she was quite shorter than him, after all, she was only 5'1'' though very slender) and whispered in his ear, her warm breath making him dizzy. "Can we talk about it later?" her voice was unnaturally low, and he breathed heavily as her lips brushed his ear when she turned away. Nodding slowly, they walked down through the path towards Guadosalam.
Every now and then, she'd see him glancing at her, then, when their eyes met, he'd turn abruptly away. 'Whoa, is it just me, or is he checking me out…?' She giggled at her thought. 'I've really lost it'. Skipping happily, the afternoon sun had already started setting. Reaching Guadosalam, they rushed down the exit towards the Thunder Plains.
A thunderbolt struck as they appeared outside, and Alearie jumped, clutching onto a laughing Baralai. "Hey…it's not THAT funny!!! The thunderbolt almost hit me!!!" She protested as Baralai continued to laugh. Punching his arm slightly, she continued to clutch to him, scanning the sky for more thunderbolts. "They won't hit you," he said, after seeing that she was still clutching to him in a death grip. "Uh huh…" she said absentmindedly, obviously not about to take a chance for another thunderbolt to try and electrocute her. Still watching the sky, she looked like a wet cat stuck in the rain. Wet, but not really that cold, she pranced around him. Putting her head in a comfortable position on his shoulder, she heedlessly blinked up at him.
Baralai looked down at her, and acting on instinct, wrapped his arms around her wet body, holding her close. Surprising him, she too wrapped her arms around his neck, listening to his heartbeat, completely unaware of what was going on in the world around them. She just stood there, the only thing that she was aware of was him, and she could no longer feel the damp, frigid, rain; nor the darkness and cloudy skies. Hesitating, Baralai lifted his hand slowly, putting under her chin, and raised it up. Immediately opening her eyes, she stared deeply into his soft ones, letting the calm sensation take over. She could feel his presence coming down slowly, and then his breath growing heavier, as his lips brushed down her forehead. Her heart stopped beating as he stopped a few millimeters away from her lips. Waiting for permission, he looked into her eyes, and seeing the longing in there, he pressed his lips against hers, while she deepened the kiss. Their tongues explored and they were almost devouring each other, and Baralai's free hand went up to hold her waist, while the other was caressing her cheek tenderly. It was a perfect moment.
