Chapter 3: Fang
Now this was absurd. He would never be jealous of Fang.
He probably had a not-really-nice first impression of her (she punched him in the stomach and taunted him), but now they were team mates. So he let everything go, even if he didn't really want to hang out with her as she always had that invisible wall around her telling everybody (except Vanille) to go away.
Seriously, he wasn't jealous. He just felt mad at himself when he failed to fulfill his role as the hero and the group's defender. Like when he was injured and Hope had thrown himself in front of the Ushumgal Subjugator to defend him. He was closed to stand up when he heard Hope's defeated cry… But again, sis and Fang appeared and protected Hope before he could even do anything. He knew he was so tired, so he didn't see Hope's relieved face when he saw Fang coming nor hear the breathless thank from his pink, lush lips he gave her way.
It was the worst feeling he had ever felt when he failed to grab Hope's hand in time when he fell off the airship. To make it worse, Vanille was the one who had successfully grabbed the silveret's hand instead. And then when they both fell off the ship, it was Fang and sis again coming to Hope's rescue. No, he wasn't jealous of Fang and her awesome aerial Eidolon. His Eidolons were awesome and sexy alright.
He wasn't sulking, he was only reprimanded himself for not standing strong enough and wasn't able to come to Hope's side when he needed help gaining his Eidolon – Alexander, when he was standing the closest to the distressed boy . He was just a little disappointed that he wasn't able to comfort the boy, wasn't able to give him words of motivation and courage to move on like Fang and Lightning.
Things were going to be different from then. HE would be there for Hope, to protect him, bring him home as Nora had request. Because he was the hero! And damn if he wasn't be able to help his damsel in distress.

The group had stopped to catch their breath when they reached Mah'habara Subterra. He saw Fang and Vanille walked off by themselves and smirked. He had always suspected Fang had a thing for Vanille.
When he and the group heard loud explode sound, they rushed to the two girls' direction only to find a huge Eidolon with multi-hands, which later he found out was Hecatoncheir, and the two of them hugging. Hah, he knew there was something between them! He didn't (have to) worry about anything after all.
But hey, how come Fang was the one pulling Hope into their arms and formed a group hug!

AN: Most of the event in this chapter (or the other chaps and the rest) are real plots in the game. Except for the last one in this chapter of course! And my friends pointed out that it it much easier to enjoy my story and somehow the story become more enjoyable when they have watch the cutscenes or read the character's information on Final Fantasy Wikia. So... if you have the time, watch the cutscenes, please? :3
And how many people out there think Hope is really a damsel in distress, and Fang and Lightning are his knights? :D
Almost forget! Thank you for reading this chapter! I hope you enjoy it. Even if some chapters may not be as much fun as I intended for them to be, I'm trying my best. Give me a piece of your thoughts, will you? Again, reviews and constructive criticisms are much welcomed and appreciated!
Yatsuki.
