FFX-2: Best Thing For Everyone

Fandom: Final Fantasy X-2
Main characters: Gippal, Baralai
Referenced characters: N/a
Pairings: Gippal/Baralai
Contains: N/a
Rating: PG
Summary: People are stupid, really. For [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic.



Plenty of people think Gippal's an idiot. Those same people probably look at Baralai and think that he's a weak girly man, or something like that, which just goes to show who exactly are the idiots in this situation. Anybody who really knows Baralai knows that beneath the smile, beneath the desire to work things out, there's a will of steel; beneath the smile and the quiet eyes, there's a lightning quick fiend in battle.

Gippal's pretty much hyper-aware of that right now, with Baralai beneath him, even with Baralai tipping his head back in an almost submissive way, even with the little noises he's making. Gippal bites, and he almost whimpers. You could almost forgive someone not understanding how strong he is, hearing that -- but then there's his body, wound tight as a spring, muscled and lithe and ready, at any moment, for a fight.

Gippal grins. Kisses again. Bites again, harder. "Weak girly man, huh?"

"Stop teasing," Baralai says, in an entirely reasonable voice.

Gippal grins all the more, slipping down lower, trailing kisses over Baralai's chest, licking sweat from his skin. "Or?"

"Or I'll do something intensely painful to sensitive parts of your body," Baralai says, and he still sounds entirely reasonable, even slightly cheerful.

Gippal would say, see what I mean? -- but there's no one there to say it to, and besides, he's no idiot. He does as he's told: best thing for everyone.

This was awesome. I think you've got the two of them down better than any other fic I've read involving Gippal and Baralai. Just, yeah. *_* Thank you for sharing!

Ooo, yummy Baralai/Gippal and good characterization for Baralai.

*scours your Baralai pieces to help me staple him better into my brain, as I'm fond of him but totally failing to write him well*
