FFX-2: Magic
Fandom: Final Fantasy X-2
Pairing: Gippal/Baralai
Warnings: Baralai POV, sap
Rating: PG
Summary: First love.
Back during the days of our training for the Crimson Squad, Gippal and I were lovers. Well, maybe it would be better to say "friends with benefits", for him, at least. But I was in love. My first love, sudden and sweet and all too brief.
It was just comfort, comfort and closeness while we were both far from home. But he meant so, so much to me. I was like a kid with a first crush, fumbling and unsure and oh so infatuated. His touch was almost a magical thing to me, sending shivers running down my spine even at the slightest touch, and the magic when he looked at me, when our eyes met... indescribable. I was fascinated by him, intoxicated, until he was practically the only thing I wanted to look at.
It's a magic that even now, I can't recapture. A magic deeper and greater and more moving than any healing or sending or summoning. All those magics can be stopped, cancelled out, and blocked, but that magic, love, has a way of getting under your skin before you realise it.
Even now that I blush at thinking of how desperately I wanted Gippal, I still don't regret a bit of the love I felt for him.
