[Well, she should have expected that one.]

Can't say I blame you... [But their situations were different. For Fang, she just never had time.]

Any particular reason why?

[strikeoflightning]

Because I didn't want someone distracting me from taking care of Serah. {So she had toughened herself inside and out.} I was worried I would lose her.

[raindownthesky]

You can't keep yourself away from it forever, you know. Serah...[She hesitates, but only for a second. Enough time to cover it up.] has Snow, right? Wasn't Hero gonna marry her?

[She had to remind herself that from Lightning's standpoint, the two could have been frozen in time in an embrace on the Archylte Steppe. For her, it was a much different reality.]

[strikeoflightning]

Yeah, she does. I gave them my blessing. {Snow finally proved himself.} Which leaves me free.

{Free to...feel.}

No idea who would want me.

[raindownthesky]

[She nearly coughs on her drink at that last sentence, looking away slowly.

Gee. I wonder.]

[strikeoflightning]

You? {She ventures, smiling like she can't believe it.}

[raindownthesky]

Jeez, you make it sound like that's a bad thing... [Her face couldn't possibly resemble a tomato any more if it tried.]

[strikeoflightning]

I haven't been easy on you. {Her eyes widen as she takes in the color on Fang's cheek.} I was the cause…?

[raindownthesky]

[She repressed the urge to squirm under her gaze, looking anywhere but in her eyes.]

L-...[She looks at her quickly before darting her eyes away again.] Let's just say you made an impression, yeah?

[strikeoflightning]

{A smile crosses her lips before she realizes how happy those words make her. No, that's…

Not right. Fang is…

Fang. Yeah, she does care about the woman, but to go that far?

Her smile is giving her away.}

Nice impression.

[raindownthesky]

[She gives a nervous laugh before rubbing her neck sheepishly. She couldn't tell what she was thinking, but it was enough for her to see that smile. It was rare to see it at all before, but now...now it just seemed to come freely to her since she arrived.]

Your fault.

[strikeoflightning]

{Despite missing everyone else, it's nice - more than nice - to see Fang again. It's like a weight has been lifted off of her shoulders...and her heart. Her relief makes it easy to smile. Add on the fact that Fang seems interested in her, her smile just...grows.}

You were standing under the mistletoe.

[raindownthesky]

And you made the choice to hold up tradition.

[She could have very well just explained it to her and left it at that. She could have just watched the huntress fumble over herself in embarrassment. She instead made a move. Not that she was complaining.]

[strikeoflightning]

It was too good to pass up. {So sue her. She wanted to know what it was like to kiss the huntress.}

[raindownthesky]

Mmhm. [She's going to hold onto this one for a while. Just you wait.]

[strikeoflightning]

You lived. {Because that is the measurement of all romantic moves.}

[raindownthesky]

It's a good thing too. [Of course.]

[strikeoflightning]

I'd be worried if that had killed you. {She would have stared and panicked.}

[raindownthesky]

A kiss from you? [She chuckles, crossing her arms over her chest.]

I dunno. It about near sent me to Valhalla...

[strikeoflightning]

How do you know Valhalla is so wonderful? {She flushes, realizing she is calling the kiss wonderful. Well it had been. For her, at least.}

[raindownthesky]

Well if it's anything like that kiss, then I'm all for it. [She's just going to...yeah. She's just going to turn away for now, and try to keep her composure.]

[strikeoflightning]

... {Gathering her resolve, Lightning rests her forehead against Fang's shoulder.}

Me too.
