I never realised this, but this is slightly AU.
After all, I doubt they have D. Grey Man in Gaia.
But thats for another chapter.
Oh man, I was hungry. But my throat was throbbing, and I didn't want to be a bother. I'm sure once I felt better I'll be alright again.
I got up out of bed, and noticed Kuja lying on the floor, sleeping peacefully. I smiled, and crawled next to him; half hoping he would wake up.
"Zidane…? You awake?"
"Yeah…"
My voice was weak and scratchy, and it pained me to speak. Kuja got up, and I followed him outside.
"Maybe we'll take a walk after I get you a drink. It's not good to just stay in and sleep all day."
That's all I had been doing during my stay with Kuja. I must have seemed so boring to him.
Kuja came out with a glass of water, and I gulped it down, the wonderful, cold, soothing substance.
"What about monsters?" I asked.
The water made my throat feel a lot better.
"No need to worry about that, I've my magicks and you… Well… You can hide behind me."
"Hey, I'm quite the formidable enemy when I'm not dying!"
We both laughed together, and I don't think I've heard Kuja laugh without some sort of malice or evil; it was nice.
"Zidane has been gone for way too long." Freya spoke up.
"But Kuja promised that he wouldn't hurt Zidane…" Vivi replied.
"Lies… If Zidane was safe, he would have come back by now." Freya started to think, "I'll go out and find him. You stay here."
Just a little walk outside made me feel hell of a lot better. My body as a whole didn't even hurt anymore. I had that feeling I was on the road to recovery; and it was all Kuja's doing…
In the past week or so, however long I had been with him, I had grown to really like Kuja. I just hope he really liked me.
"Hey, Kuja…?"
"Yes Zidane?"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Of course you can."
"I… I really like you…"
"You do?"
"Yeah. I really do. No one else would have cared for me as much as you have… Not even Garnet…"
"Well, I'm thankful for that, as I'm rather fond of you as well…"
"I'm really glad that you like me too…"
I felt myself blush as Kuja held my hand. I looked up at him, and he smiled.
"You blush easily…"
"So what if I do?"
He smiled again, and I felt another moment coming on; Kuja lightly kissed my lips, causing my heart to flutter. While we continued to walk, my tail tripped me up, making me fall forward, and I felt Kuja fall on top of me.
"I'm so glad you light."
"One must keep his figure looking immaculate."
We both started laughing, in this rather suggestive position. Why was I at the bottom?
"Zidane!"
Who was that? I didn't even have a moment to think as Freya jumped down from nowhere, in front of me and Kuja.
"F-Freya?" I stuttered confusedly.
"Get off of him, you narcissistic fiend!" She shouted.
"Well excuse me for looking this good!"
I laughed when he said that, earning me a strange look from Freya. Kuja's tail flicked against mine, telling me he was getting a little ticked off. He got up off of me and dusted himself off.
"What are you doing with Zidane?" Freya muttered sternly.
I blushed at that comment, because when she said it like that…
"I've been doing nothing with Zidane. In fact, I've been nursing him back to health, because he was ill!"
"You most likely caused his illness in the first place!"
"Guys!" I intervened, "Stop fighting, you're hurting my head!"
They both looked at me. Great. What the hell was I supposed to tell Freya? I didn't want to go back to Garnet, I wanted to stay here! I moved closer to Kuja.
"Can't you cast a sleep spell on her or something…?" I whispered so quietly that I couldn't hear myself; but I saw Kuja nodding.
I faked a worried look on my face and glanced back at Kuja, giving him a quick nod and a smile.
"You'll never get Zidane back from me!" He shouted evilly, but I could hear him trying not to laugh.
Freya made a move to jump, but Kuja was one second ahead, and had already cast the sleep spell on her. I walked over to her sleeping form, and Kuja handed me a potion.
"Leave this for her. I'm sure she'll appreciate it later."
"I hope she'll be alright out here…"
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Come on, let's go back. I'm sure you've had enough excitement for one day."
I'd like to take this opportunity to say sorry to Freya, as she's cool.
I also support FreyaZidane, but I support KujaZidane even moar.
I don't like Garnet.
