Snow felt a rush of unfamiliar energy coursing through his body as he entered and, almost as quickly, exited the portal. His adrenaline was pumping as he landed on the soft grass in Sunleth Waterscape 300 AF. The location of which Lightning informed him of Fang and Vanille’s pending fall caused by a massive monster being created by hundreds of Mini Flan coming together to create what Snow had come to know as ‘Royal Ripeness’.
‘Yup. This should be fun.’ He admitted to himself and his crouched beneath a nearby tree to assess the situation.
The place itself was beautiful. So full of color and lush foliage. The random spawning flan along with other various beasts, on the other hand, kind of took away from its esthetic.
“How am I going to defeat this giant jiggly monstrosity?” He asked himself, hoping maybe he would be greeted with some encouraging words from his old friend. The friend that sent him here with little to no information as to how to complete the task at hand. “C’mon, Light. Help me out.” He whispered as he glanced up at the bright and clear sky peeking through the trees above him.
After several days, maybe even weeks, of carefully planning his attack, he decided to take it on. Time seemed to have passed differently there. Shaking his head in disbelief as he ran toward the beast, he released his first series of assaults. Barely making a dent in its overall condition.
He glanced to his left to witness dozens of mini flan jumping off the side of the cliff, damaging the crystal pillar with each point of contact.
It was then that he realized he wasn’t going to be able to do this alone and, since nobody else was
around, he may not survive this foe.
Minutes felt like hours and he was quickly becoming exhausted. With the last bit of his strength, he let loose his biggest and strongest attack. Only to be met by one even stronger than his own, knocking him down and flinging him across the grassy earth beneath him.
He laid there, not sure if he was even still alive but I knew he had no time to think. He had to act. He had to retreat. He stumbled out of the view of the beast, hunched over with his arm wrapped around his probably broken ribs.
Once he knew he was clear, he collapsed in his makeshift bed that he created out of grass and leaves. He began to remove his clothes to get a better look at his injuries.
His abdomen and arms were covered in blood. He couldn’t make out where the worst injuries were so he decided it was best for him to locate some source of water to wash away the evidence of defeat that covered him.
“Ugh,” He grunted as he made his way to a small pond not too far from his sleeping area. luminescent bulbs surrounded the area, dangingly from fragile branches. Lighting the area. “You just had to ask me to come here. Alone. To defeat an angry blob.” His was course and clearly exhausted from all the fighting and, of course, taunting he did earlier. “Real cool, Light.”
He sat down on a giant rock nearing the edge of the pond as he carefully removed his boots and pants. Every time he moved, pain rushed through his body. Causing him to take small gulps of air to try to take the focus away from what he was feeling.
He gently slid himself into the crystal clear water that pooled around him. The boulder was at an angle where he could submerge most of his large body while leaning back to give his back support and rest that he desperately needed.
His hand floated next to him between washing. He was exhausted. He was sore. He was beginning to lose faith in himself.
“That went well…” He said sarcastically to the sky above him. “I’m sorry, Light. I failed you. I failed all of you. I cannot kill that thing alone.” He admitted to himself ashamed of the words coming from his usually optimistic mouth.
The coolness of the boulder soothed his sore body and he fell into a deep slumber. He knew he should fight off the urge to sleep but, he was defeated. He didn’t even know if he’d survive his wounds. He didn’t care. He needed to sleep.
Snow was soon awoken by a gentle touch dripping water over his left arm. Followed by a rough cloth against his wounds. He let out an uncomfortable grunt as he turned his head to discover Lightning sitting next to him.
“Not bad for a first shot, right?” He joked as he tried to prop himself up. His eyed averting away from her. He was ashamed of his current condition. He was ashamed that she, of all people, had to see him like this.
“Don’t move. I’m trying to see how bad the damage is.” She said strictly as she placed her free hand upon his chest and pushed him back down. His muscles were firm and, with good reason, tight.
“For once,” he submitted to her demand and laid back down. “I’m not going to argue with you.” He
laughed sheepishly.
Her face was serious. Her eyes wouldn’t leave his badly injured body.
He was so full of pain that he couldn’t even feel the normal surge of energy that would follow her touch. He just laid there. Watching as his beautiful friend tried to mend his injuries.
‘When did she become so beautiful? Maybe I just never noticed before now. Her eyes are so blue. So full of…love. Compassion. Have they always been like that? No. They’ve changed since The Fall. But why?’ He moved his other arm behind his head as her hand moved to his exposed abdomen. She washed away the layers of blood carefully only to discover a giant gash.
“This…is going to hurt.” She didn’t want to touch it but she knew she had to.
“Please, I’ve had worse injuries. I can handle it.” He was suddenly met with excruciating pain as she applied pressure to the wound. He let out a guttural cry. Only making tears well in her eyes at the sound.
“Told you. You should be okay, though. I managed to seal the wound the best I could. You’ll be tender for a while but you’ll survive.” She moved her wet cloth to his chest to wipe away the rest of the blood.
His hand traveled up his body to her hand, making her jump when he made contact with her. He
stopped her and sent a warm smile her way.
“Thank you, Light. Thank you for coming here. Thank you for…” He glanced down at his previously mangled body. “This…Just…thank you. I wanted to see you. I needed to see you.” He
locked eyes with her. Noticing that her normally dry and serious eyes were now filling with tears. She struggled to keep eye contact with him. A single tear ran down her cheek and disapeared behind her pink hair. His expression grew serious as he placed his hand gently on her face to wipe away the damp trail the tear left behind. Her hand now resting above his heart.
“This is my fault. You almost died because of me.” She admitted, hiding her face in the palm of his hand. “Forgive me.” Without even thinking, she gently kissed his palm. Causing tingles to travel through his entire body. ‘Did she…just kiss me?’ He asked inwardly. Refusing to move, he laid there in silence and absorbed the image before him. ‘She did.’ With that in mind, he slowly moved himself closer to her and wrapped his nearest arm around her, pulling her to him. She didn’t fight it. She couldn’t. The guilt was eating her alive. She almost killed the man she grew to care so much for.
She collapsed next to him. Resting her head on his chest and her hand on his shoulder. Neither said a word. Her gorgeous exposed leg crossed over his as he gently ran his fingers down her shoulder to her elbow. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her. He secretly inhaled the scent of her hair. It was sweet mixed with an unusual fruit. One he couldn’t place. Whatever it was, it made his entire body fill with excitement.
With every gentle movement down her arm, she found it more and more difficult to move. She didn’t want to. She wanted to stay with him. She still wasn’t sure if it was out of loneliness or something more but she was going to stay as long as she could. Touching him. Smelling him. Carefully releasing her healing magic in small doses to fully heal him. Her magic was too potent to do it all at once.
“Light…” He finally broke the silence with his deep, sexy voice. A voice she found herself listening for when she was alone in Valhalla. His hand now resting on the small of back as his fingers rested along her hip. “What is happening between us?” He asked, terrified of her answer.
“I-I don’t know…” She freely admitted as she traced her fingers along his abs. “I really don’t have the answers. I ask myself that every day.”
Her light touch drove him wild. He wanted nothing more than to seduce her right there on that cool
boulder they laid upon. The boulder that changed everything. His wounds were mostly healed at this point, finding it easier for him to move.
She propped herself up on one arm and looked up at him. Everything about her shifted. Her eyes were no longer cold or disciplined. Her lips were pouty instead of firm and serious. She met his gaze and smiled shyly. His heart filled with excitement as he pulled her closer to him. Now resting her upper body on his, their faces only inches apart. He brought one hand up to her hair and moved it out of her face, tucking it ever so gently behind her ear.
“Let’s not think about it.” His voice was almost a whisper as he leaned in to kiss her. She fought for a moment but eventually gave in.
Their lips touched, causing a mixture of electricity and ice to penetrate their bodies. He suddenly felt no pain at all and rolled her over on her back. Kissing her neck and collarbone. She let out a small gasp as his tongue touched her skin. That small sound increased his desires. He moved from her collarbone to her breastbone. Gently kissing and licking the exposed area while one of his hands gently caressed her leg as it relaxed against him. His hand slowly moving to massage her inner thigh.
Her moans got louder and she began to squirm beneath him. Her hand gently found its way to his bare shoulder. With every move he made, her nails went deeper into his skin. He was driving her just as wild as she was him.
He could sense that she wanted more and it made him smile. Knowing that he had this power. The
power to render the ‘Mighty Lightning’ so submissive. ‘Had anyone been able to make her moan like this?’ He asked himself as he gently nibbled her neck. She spread her legs more as she pulled his face to hers and kissed him passionately. More passionately than he had ever expected. Her tongue danced with his as she pushed her hips against him. Feeling the bulge that had formed under his pants. His breathing became quickened and excessive as one of her hands ran down his muscular abdomen and reached the elastic of his pants. He was nervous and excited at the same time. ‘Is this really happening?’ He asked himself as he watched her hand disappear beneath the thin fabric.
As soon as he felt her hand around his hardened member, he moaned loudly and his head fell back. He was lost in her touch. His breath increased with every stroke. Moaning more erratically than before. He regained control of himself long enough to grab her face and kiss her like he had never kissed anyone before. His moaning made her moan. Which only drove him closer to his release.
“Light…” His whisperer into her ear, noticing she had a large grin on her face. She knew she was driving him crazy every time she moaned with him. She loved what she could do to him. She had never had this sort of power over anyone.
“Snow…” She whisperer back as she felt his teeth being buried in her shoulder.
“I’m…I’m…” She interrupted him with a kiss as she grasped him tighter and moved faster.
“It’s okay. I want you to.” She said as she laid him on his back as she kissed his chest.
He moaned loudly and grunted as his hips twitched and thrusted in pleasure. She didn’t stop when he did. She kept going. It hurt but he loved it. He had never had that amazing of a release before. He didn’t ever want it to stop but what got him the most was how much her moaning and gasping while he climaxed had such an impact on him. He wanted to go again. Exhausted and overcome with desire, he pulled her into him and kissed her. His hands now finding their way up her feathered armor, locating her very exposed hips. She was on top of him, resting her elbows on either side of head, kissing him deeply.
With every touch she felt on her hips and upper thigh, she would thrust into him. She wanted more. So much more. She could feel him growing between her legs.
Suddenly, they were met with a loud crashing sound. Neither could see what was going on in the world they had created for themselves.
“We have to go.” Lightning admitted. “Be safe, Snow. I’ll see you again.” She winked as she leaned in for one final kiss and disappeared into the darkness. Leaving him alone.
“Fuck.” He said loudly as he slammed his fists against the hard surface below him. “Just fuck.”
He opened his eyes to sound of yet another crashing sound and quickly got dressed. Most of his wounds were fully healed. Others would take some time but, overall, he could fight whatever was coming his way. Not only did he feel better but he was pissed at whoever interrupted his intimate moment with the women he found himself falling for. He knew it was wrong and he knew he would have to face it eventually but, for right now, he couldn’t be happier.
