Chapter 8
,,There was nothing last night, I swear Fang!"
Vanilles face blushed and she knew that this doesn't made her statement very believable but she was still embarressed by Fangs insinuation that she spoke out while they walked trough the Taejin Tower.
It was a blessing for Vanille that the six L'Cie divided into three groups when they arrived in the main hall.
Fang wanted to go with Vanille, she said that she wanted to settle something with Vanille and so, Hope and Snow formed the second and Lightning and Sazh the third group. And now, Fang was asking her out about something she doesnt wanted to talk about whether it really happend or not.
Fang seemed still a bit upset about the sight she had when she wanted to wake up Vanille this morning.
The young girl shared one blanket with Hope over the night and they layed very close to each other while they slept.
Vanille knew that it had to be a strange sight for their comrades to see them both so close like this, but Fang just doesn't wanted to believe her that.
,,You can swear as much as you want missy, I know what I saw and I can tell you that this isn't really the right time to have erotic nights like that, especially not in this age!"
,,But Fang, we really never thought about something like that, we only had one blanket when we came back and he offered me to use it myself, but you can't really expect me to let him in the cold while I have it warm and fleecy"
,,I understand your reason for sharing the blanket, but I thought the blanket would suffice to keep you two warm but do you really had to cuddle around like a careless couple?" Fang asked with a self-assured smile and her gaze showed how curious she was to here Vanilles answer to that
,,We just... kept us warm, we really did not intend to go further or even... i-intimate" She stuttered now and the blush in her face got noticeable stronger.
,,I really hope that for you two, just look at that age gap between you two, maybe he doesn't even know what you are doing with him, when you flirt with him so playfully"
,,I did nothing" Vanille replied sheepishly ,,And what do you mean with that age gap arguement? I don't think it really matters how old we are. As far as I know, I have the right to like whoever I want, and actually the age difference between us isn't so big!" It annoyed her a bit that Fang really complained about the age gap between her and Hope.
She knew that 14 wasn't the perfect age for him to get confronted with topics like girls, or even love relationships, especially as a L'Cie with a possible fate as a C'ieth, while they're searching for a way to avoid that future, but everytime knowing that their time slowly runs out.
But she never wanted to rush it that way, at least not in such an extreme way like Fang thought now, actually she planned to wait a bit with it, maybe four or five years until he is old enough to show interest in this topics on his own.
If they all really survive this L'Cie thing, there would be still enough time to begin anew, without being haunted and attacked at every moment.
Maybe we all can still become a real family together after surviving this It was a thought that cheerd her up a bit
,,Are you listening me?" Fangs words brought her out of her thoughts
,,Huh? Oh I'm sorry, what did you say?" Vanille answered a bit surprized
Fang groaned before she repeated herself:
,,I said that I'am just worried about you, you give your heart away without even knowing if anyone of us will survive this adventure, I mean, what would you do if someone of us turns into a C'ieth, just before we figured out how to avoid our L'Cie fate? Hopes emotions, for exampel, aren't really stable because of the things that happend in his past, I really can't accuse him this, but you know that such emotional outbursts like his past ones, mean that his time expires quicker than normal"
,,Do you think he will... you really think that at least one of us won't survive it?" Her smile was already gone again.
,,Sorry, this wasn't what I meant, I just want that you are prepared for the case" but Vanille still wasn't really relieved and Fang continued then:
,,It don't has to come true like this it's just a possibility. we'll can live on without worry, if we find a way to surmount our focus, so just forget what I said about that, ok?" Fang smiled warmly to cheer her red haired comrade up a bit.
,,Ok..." She smiled, even if she couldn't get this questions out of her head.
What would happen if someone of them really fails to stay alive?
Will all what they have done, be in vain in the end?
It hurt to think about possible answers.
And again I'm just hiding, to not face the truth. A truth that doesn't even allows space for naive dreams and hopes like mine...
This chapter might be changed a bit in the future, because I personally think the story content is a bit small in this chapter. I'm still unsure about that.
p.s. Sorry for the delayed upload, but I was ill most of the week and so I preferred to wait with the writing until I felt a bit better, sorry about that. ~SKape
