FraSwiss: Flirt

Vash sighed, watching Francis as he was busy chatting up the girl from Seychelles. It wasn't the first time that he had seen something like that. Vash knew that most of the reason why Francis did that was to offer a bit of a confidence boost to the other students, and it didn't matter whether they were male or female, Francis would flirt with them regardless.

Except for Vash.

The Swiss didn't understand it. He was the only person that Francis wouldn't flirt with. He's even flirted with Ivan, the large Russian that nobody really likes. But he wouldn't even spare a wink for Vash.

Which made it even more painful for Vash, since he had a crush on the Frenchman. He knew the true reasons for the flirting, and he had managed to see the other's caring side. Francis was also very attractive, but wouldn't flirt with Vash.

Was there something wrong with him? Was he so repulsive that Francis wouldn't even try to flirt with him because he's not good enough?

Feeling tears stinging his eyes, Vash decided to leave the scene. He couldn't stand seeing the object of his affections flirting with someone else.

Of course, Vash didn't expect much. Francis was simply flirting. It was still hurtful that Francis wouldn't give him the time of day.

…

Francis smiled as he bid Michelle goodbye, watching the light return to her eyes. Poor thing. He knew that she suffered from self-esteem issues after everyone in her old school often told her that she was an annoyance, a bore and childish.

He couldn't understand why anyone could be so mean to someone else. Seeing someone's eyes light up in happiness was far more satisfying than seeing them well with tears.

He looked around the hallway, hoping that he could spot Vash. He knew that the Swiss should be there already, and he would be around the halls. So when he failed to see him, he frowned in concern.

Was something wrong with Vash?

The thought of Vash being distressed made him pause. Sure, it was his habit to cheer people up in the best way he knew how, but Vash was different. The thought of flirting with Vash scared him. He didn't know what to say to him.

Well, actually, he had a few things he wanted to say to the Swiss. He just didn't know how to articulate them. Or how Vash would react. Francis knew that there was a line between 'acceptable' and 'creepy', and he was afraid of crossing that line in front of the Swiss.

It had taken Francis a while to realise that he had a crush on Vash, and he was afraid of distancing Vash. Vash was one of the few people that knew the true reason why he was so flirtatious. It also meant that Vash might interpret his flirting as just another meaningless flirtation.

He shook his head, placing a smile on his face. He was sure that he would see Vash sooner or later.

…

Vash had been avoiding Francis throughout the day. He knew that the Frenchman was aware of it, but he didn't care. It was just… He couldn't stand the fact that Francis would flirt with everyone but him. Was there something wrong that he couldn't even get a wink?

Of course, Francis wanted to know what was bothering the Swiss. And he was persistent. It was actually one of the things that Vash liked about Francis, but not in this case.

It was only a matter of time before Francis managed to corner Vash. Quite literally, as he was pinned against the wall, caged between the other's arms.

"Vash?" Francis said. "Mon ami, is something wrong?"

"Why would something be wrong?" Vash asked nonchalantly, knowing that he should probably be trying to get out of the situation he found himself in but figuring that he would never get this opportunity again. Francis was so close…

"You've been avoiding me," Francis said. "Please, did I do something to upset you? You can tell me."

Vash bit his lip, avoiding Francis's brilliant blue eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" he asked weakly.

"What?" Francis asked. "Why would you think something's wrong with you?"

"Because you never flirt with me!" Vash snapped. "You'll flirt with everyone else, except me. Even Antonio, Gilbert, Roderich, Arthur… What's wrong with me? Am I just someone that no one would be interested in? Is that it? You don't want to give me false hope?"

Francis's eyes widened, and he didn't respond. Vash stared defiantly at the Frenchman, but his own eyes widened when the unexpected happened.

Francis kissed him.

He could feel the other's mouth on his. Somehow, it tasted like strawberries. After a few moments Francis pulled away, his cheeks pink.

"I… Désolé," he said.

"No problem," Vash said automatically. "Why…?"

"I… I guess that I was just nervous around you. I'm sorry if you thought that no one would be interested. Because it's exactly the opposite, petit hérrison."

Vash's face became red when he realised what Francis was implying. Hesitantly, he leaned forward and kissed Francis on the mouth.

The prompt is: 'Person A is a notorious flirt, and seems to hit on everyone but Person B, who has a huge crush on A. B is disappointed that A doesn't flirt with them, but actually the reason A doesn't is because A secretly likes B and is too nervous around them to flirt with them.'

I actually like FraSwiss, and right after getting this request I stumbled on the prompt in my list of unused prompts that sound interesting. And who else could pass off 'notorious flirt'?

To those of you reading Enough, I did update yesterday, but the site refuses to acknowledge it. It keeps showing that the last updated was the previous chapter, but if you go in you can read the new chapter. This isn't the first time this has happened, but never has the delay between posting and acknowledgement been so long. I didn't even get an email notifying me that it's been updated, and I'm sure it's the same for you too. Let's just hope that this update doesn't suffer the same fate.
