Chapter 10
Hope was being hurriedly carted through the hospital halls with Fang and Vanille at his sides. The two were holding onto each one of his limp hands as they followed the speed of the nurses strides. Lightning and Serah walked behind the hustle and bustle as they held onto each other helplessly. The nurses and doctors rushed him into the emergency room and shut the double doors behind them - restricting access to the group. Lightning could see the chaos in the operating room through a tiny window on the door. IV tubes and needles were prodded into his flesh while the doctor prepared for an emergency surgery.
Lightning turned away and shut her eyes, wanting the nightmare to go away. Serah placed a small hand on her cheek and smoothed Lighting's stray bangs from her face. "Come, let's go sit down in the waiting room," she whispered, and encircled an arm around Lightning's waist.
Fang and Vanille were already there with worried expressions on their faces. They eventually got up to get some much needed coffee - leaving Lightning and Serah alone. Lightning's head was aching from all the stress she was feeling, and felt an urge to lash out, but she controlled her anger and frustration with the help of Serah's soothing touches. Lightning felt her emotions boiling up inside of her and felt her chest begin to constrict from the pain building up, but it stopped when Serah kissed the palm of her hand lovingly.
"Are you still blaming yourself?" Serah asked with eyes glazed over from a lack of sleep.
Lightning stared into those sleepy blue eyes, and smiled sadly. "I never should have let him follow me," she said softly.
Serah kissed Lightning's cheek and Lightning felt a hot blush creep from her neck onto her face - she wasn't used to Serah being so affectionate with her yet. "I never got to say thank you for saving me," Serah said sweetly, and nuzzled her face against the crook of Lightning's neck. "When Hope gets better, I'll thank him too," she finished assuredly, her breath tickling the flesh on Lightning's collar bone. Lightning gulped as Serah's hot breath tickled her flesh.
Lightning looked down at Serah's beautiful face as she laid her head on Lightning's shoulder with her eyes closed contently. Lightning stared at Serah and felt her heart well up with extreme adoration for the girl. She then pressed her lips on top of Serah's head and kissed it. She inhaled Serah's sweet scent and felt her body relax for the first time into her seat.
Serah opened her eyes and smiled up at Lightning lovingly with a sleepy expression on her face. Lightning felt another blush hotly burn her cheeks as she looked at the adorable sleepy look on Serah's face. Serah kissed the tip of Lightning's nose and laughed softly when Lightning flinched from the sudden kiss. She then pulled Lightning's face closer to hers and pressed their lips together in a long kiss.
Lightning felt her heart beat erratically as Serah held onto her face firmly and kissed her gently. Lightning felt her worries and stress disappear for the time being as she became lost in Serah's love. In the early morning hours, the room was quiet and only the hum of the fluorescent lights could be heard as Serah and Lightning shared a moment of intimacy.
Fang and Vanille walked along the corridor with two piping hot cups of coffees in each of their hands. Fang was walking ahead when she turned the corner and suddenly stopped dead in her tracks - spilling some of the hot coffee onto her chest. Fang quickly backed up and pressed her body against the wall. Vanille was walking right behind her and bumped into her back, nearly dropping the coffee onto her feet. "Ah! Hey! What gives?" Vanille squealed as she desperately held onto her cups.
Fang peeked a head behind the corner like a sleuth and pulled her head back quickly. She didn't say a word, but merely gestured for Vanille to look for herself. Vanille was getting frustrated with Fang's cryptic signs and peeked around the corner. She gasped loudly, but Fang cut her off by quickly wrapping a hand around her mouth - stifling the surprised noise coming from Vanille's mouth. Fang and Vanille looked at each other with wide eyes and tried their best to stifle their immature giggles.
Serah was sitting on top of Lightning and was now kissing her fervently as she grabbed the back of Lightning's head and pulled on her hair. Lightning was lost in the moment as she relished the taste of Serah's sweet mouth and the urgency in Serah's touches as her hands roamed beneath the hem of Lightning's skirt. Lightning grabbed Serah's waist and moved her hands towards her skirt and rubbed her palm against her core. "Claire," Serah panted and gyrated her hips against Lightning's hand and moved her hand to do the same to Lightning. Lightning and Serah panted breathlessly, trying their best to muffle any sounds of pleasure escaping from their throats.
Lightning kissed Serah's neck and pressed her hand harder against Serah and rubbed faster as Serah imitated her actions - both were close to their limit as they breathed erratically with their foreheads pressed against each other. Serah's brilliantly blue eyes were now glazed over with lust as she muttered, "Claire, I love you. I love you Claire," she repeated over and over again as she peaked towards her climax. Lightning tried to respond, but was too breathless as Serah nimbly moved her fingers against her clit - bringing Lightning quickly over the edge.
Their bodies shook with waves of ecstasy as they held tightly onto each other as they rode out their orgasms. Serah moaned against Lightning's neck to muffle the sounds and the vibrations of Serah moaning into her neck made Lightning nearly climax again. Her body was shaking from the aftershocks as Serah breathed heavily against her chest. Serah scraped her hand lightly against Lightning's stomach and kissed her lips softly. They pulled apart from each other and looked away after a while - embarrassed at what they had just done. Lightning rubbed the back of her head with one hand as Serah blushed adorably as she hesitantly shifted back into her own seat.
As if on cue, Fang and Vanille walked back into the room nonchalantly with the coffees. They each hand one to both Lightning and Serah as they thanked them. Lightning and Serah sipped their coffees awkwardly and stole glances at each other, but hurriedly looked away as soon as they caught each other's eyes. Fang and Vanille sat across from them and sipped their cups of coffee in the silent room and winked at each other with sly smirks on their faces as they looked at Serah and Lightning's blushing faces.
