AN: This is the second to last chapter to this crazy beginner fanfic story. Hope is gone from the picture, don't worry guys. Ha! XD On with the story. :)

I do not own Final Fantasy 13. All rights belong to Square Enix. If I owned the series, I'm sure I would give you a little too much fan service. ;D

Fang: Someone...make Heartless92, President! D:

Chapter 7

"No way! There's no way." Lightning said pushing Fang who laughed hysterically. "Come on, be serious Fang!"
"I'm being serious. We all saw it, Hope has been head over heels with you since day one!" Fang said stumbling, doing a 360 spin until footing became hers once more.
"How come no one told me? Or how come I didn't notice?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure we all figured he would get over his little crush as time passed. I never expected it to grow into love and for him to just confess to you." Fang shrugged before answering the next question. "Sunshine, you wouldn't notice love even if it gave you an orgasm."

Lightning choked on her piña colada at Fang's use of words. She blushed profusely, taking in the last of the drink and taking another from Fang's never ending serving plate.

"That's a lie.. I can't be that dense." She mumbled.
"Okay, so what if I told I can't get my eyes off of you? My thoughts are constantly raided by your presence and there was never a day where I wouldn't dream about you while in crystal stasis?" Fang asked. She stopped in front of the soldier and grinned slightly, cocking her head some. "What would you think I am feeling for you?"
"Well.. I would think you have an obsession with me, I suppose.." Lightning mumbled, becoming slightly nervous. "But knowing you, you would just say these things to tick me off."
"Dense.. stubborn." Fang poked the soldier's forehead.
"Am not!" Lightning growled.

Fang ran off as Lightning kicked sand towards her, only to lose her footing. Fang turned back when she heard a sharp gasp come from the pinkette. Fang blushed slightly as she made her way towards her, her image becoming clearer with each step she took.

Lightning had landed on her butt, legs bent at the knee and slightly spread apart. The drink she had just obtained had landed all over her body. Lightning shivered from the cold drink as it ran down her inner thighs.

Maker.. may you bless me, for this might be the last sight I see before my heart stops from utter shock. Bless that frozen margarita making her get goosebumps all over her soft skin. I wonder if her nipp-

"Fang!" Fang jumped at Lightning's voice. She glared at her and reached out. "Don't just stand there and stare, help me back up!"
"I dunno Lightning. I like you better where you are. Maybe I should go get a camara so you can pose for me. Hopefully you don't dry up. Here! Smother these drinks on yourself too!"

Fang offered the tray of drinks. Lightning growled and sharply pulled Fang down with her. Not thinking of the conclusion of her action, the drinks flew and landed all over them. Lightning shivered and Fang laughed.

"What's so funny?!" Lightning growled before looking down towards where Fang pointed at. Right between her slightly exposed breasts, laid an ice cube. No wonder I'm freezing! The one night I decide to zip down my uniform shirt!
"Here I'll get it for you." Fang whispered.
"Wha-wait.. Fann.."

The rest of Lightning's words were released in a sudden moan as Fang took the ice cube with her front teeth. She let the cube slide upwards, going higher and higher. The heat from Fang's mouth made the ice cube melt. Some of the liquid ran down between her breasts, until the cube disappeared into Fang's mouth. What landed on her skin next were Fang's lips as she pressed them against the soldier's collar bone. She tilted her head back, losing herself within Fang's warmth as it headed higher against the length of her neck.

Fang didn't know how exactly they got into this position or why she managed to summon the courage to suddenly be so foward with Lightning. Maybe the alcohol? Maybe the two year long wait? She was glad that Lightning wasn't pulling away. If anything, it seemed the soldier was inviting her in.

Slowly Fang's hand cupped her chin and brought it back down. Lightning's eyes locked with Fang's. Deep and calm. Under the dark skies they looked like a dark forest. A forest Lightning wouldn't mind getting lost in.

"Fang?"
"Lightning, I l-" Fang's eyes tightened as a drop of lemon juice that had rolled down her forehead now entered her eye. She quickly left her all fours position and placed her weight on her knees to rub her eye. "Argh, what the hell?! Shit its your damn frozen margarita."

Lightning couldn't help but fall back, laughing at Fang's desperate attempts to make her eye stop burning.

"Argh, if I go blind, it'll be on you Light!" Fang growled.
Lightning smirked, crossing her arms. "That's what you get for not helping me up."

The final fireworks of the night were set off. The beach they were on was filled with oooos and aaahs. Lightning looked over at the explosions. She wasn't sure if it was the booze, but she was certain these were the best fireworks she had ever seen.

"Wow, if only you knew what you were missing, Fang. These are the most beautiful fireworks ever." Lightning teased.
"Damn you Sunshine, no fair.." Fang growled softly.
"Here, it was just one eye that was stung a bit. Why not open your left?" Lightning took hold of Fang's tense shoulders. "Relax and open it slowly.. slowly.."

Fang opened her left eye and saw Lightning knelt down in front of her. She smiled slightly.

"You're right. Beautiful is the correct word to use.." Fang whispered softly.
"What? You aren't even staring at the fireworks. How do you know?"
"I don't mean the fireworks, I mean you Sunshine. You're beautiful."
"Fa-"

Unable to wait any longer, Fang pressed her lips against the soldier's. Gently, slowly putting more pressure. She felt the soldier tense up, but soon enough she relaxed. The hands that had been on Fang's shoulders now hung loosely around her neck. Slowly but surely Lightning returned the two year long awaited kiss.

AN: Finally! The kiss we have all been waiting for, am I right?! Next chapter is the last and the most..uh, mature one, I suppose? :o

Updating as soon as I can. Stay tuned. :D
