LightningxHope Chapter 7
Later that night everyone had settled down to sleep.
Fang and Vanille sharing the top bunk in the bedroom,
Sazh and Snow sleeping on the sofa's in the living room,
Lightning and Hope sharing the bottom bunk.
Lightning was wearing her uniform once more stood on the steps of their shelter.
She had slipped out of the bed without waking Hope.
Strong, Beautiful Hope.
Remebering his peaceful face made her chest ache.
She rested her hand over where her brand was.
How long did she have left?
Did she dare look?
"Light?"
Lightning turned to see Hope standing in the door of their shelter.
Lightning felt her face go red.
"H-h-Hope. Shouldnt you be sleeping?" she said.
Hope laughed and stood beside her.
"I could say the same for you Light" he said smiling at her with those gorgeous eyes.
Lightning laughed quietly not to wake anyone or alert any roaming C'eith.
"I just wanted some air" she said which was kind of true.
Then they were silence for what seemed like forever.
Then Hope spoke.
"L-Light? I have something I need to tell you" he said he voice shaking.
Lightning looked at him "Y-Yes?" she replied her voice quavering.
Hope took a deep breath.
"I love you Light" he said staring up at her his cheeks showing a faint blush.
Lightning gasped softly before taking Hope into her arms holding him tight.
"Hope...I love you too." she said feeling her eyes threaten to water.
and then they kissed.
Lightning was in bliss.
His kiss was warm, sweet and gently.
Hope felt his heart throb happily.
Her kiss tender, strong yet soft.
Oh I'm so happy Lightning though as they stood together.
Kissing, smiling, hugging.
Till the sun began to peak in the sky.
