A Break from Normalcy (Hope/Mini-Light)

He wouldn't have believed it if he didn't see it with his very own eyes!

This was unfathomable, illogical, unorthodox even!

And Hope can testify to seeing some of the most bizarre things during the time he traveled with his pseudo family when they were L'Cie. The things he saw on Pulse and still being discovered (or re-discovered depending on how one viewed it) did not compare to the phenomena facing him now!

It opened its eyes.

Because it was sleeping soundly (on top of an office desk that belonged to a certain pink haired woman) before Hope yelped from panic and shock.

At least it didn't cry yet.

Those large round non-judging, innocent, curious blue eyes.

Then it looked at him, searching, questioning…

And he held his breath….quite literally.

It smiled wide, mouth full of gums and not one pearly tooth in sight.

And it was small, and round, and pink, and, and…AND!

"WHAT IN GRAN PULSE HAS HAPPENED TO LIGHT!" He finally screamed in over exaggerated

despair.

He fell to his knees in front of the tiny baby, still unable to believe it was really Lightning by some sick twist of the Fal'Cie (because damn them, they just HAD to be behind this very not humorous joke, Hope was sure of it) even though he saw with his own eyes the lady of twenty-seven, soundly sleeping morph into this small pink ball of flesh with her GC uniform way too big on her, now looking at him as she laughed in delight.

She must be 'tickled pink' at his state of insanity. She was starting to reach her small arms out to him. He sighed before smiling down at the child, standing to pick her up. He kept her GC uniform wrapped around her. They were going to need to get her some clothes of a smaller variety and fast!

First, Hope was going to have to figure out a way to explain this…out of the ordinary occurrence. He had a feeling he was more likely to be thrown into an asylum before any of the gang will believe what he saw.

His tiny companion was making noises as she grabbed onto his white collared silk shirt. It had her small dribbles of spit, so Hope was sad to say, it wasn't pristine anymore. He watched her with curious fascination, as she was struggling to climb her way up in his arms to lay her pink curly head on his shoulders.

He gave her what she wanted, pushing her up to be more comfortable for them both. She gurgle a tiny laugh before laying a wet one, full of baby spittle on his left cheek. The saliva making a long trail down his face to the junction of his neck, and yet still connecting with her mouth before it broke away to slap against his cheek. Seeming satisfied with her work for the day, she snuggled deeply into his neck, giving a small yawn before closing her eyes and falling asleep as Hope carried her away.

He felt a small pang in his heart at her sweet gesture, "Well, that type of kiss isn't what I've always wanted from Light– but it's a start I guess."

Amazingly, Mini-Light didn't give him any troubles as they were leaving from her job.

And before Hope could deal with explaining to the gang…

He was about to have one hell of a time, explaining the little bundle in his arms to his admirer's co-workers.

"Hehe, things could be worse, Light could have turned into a man."

He shuddered at the thought.

Alpha: Yes…my one-shots, they be srsly random fo'sho!
