FFX-2: Shivers

Fandom: Final Fantasy X-2
Pairing: Gippal/Baralai
Warnings: None
Rating: PG
Summary: He kinda took a vow of chastity. Response to [livejournal.com profile] cupcakemonster's Wooing Praetors 'Aint No Hard Work.



He kisses back for a minute, just for a minute, because, well, it can't be wrong to just kiss, right? Even when the person who is kissing you sends little shivers down your spine every time. But then he wriggles a little and pushes Gippal away gently, even though he kind of wants to pull him closer.

"I can't."

He blushes a little then, because he's not sure how to explain what and why and when he peeks up at Gippal's face and sees confusion, he sighs and runs his fingers through Gippal's hair again, biting his lip again.

It all comes out at once, of course, while he steps closer and cuddles against Gippal a little, pressing his face into his shoulder and smelling metal and oil and Gippal and he has no idea why that's nice, but it is.

"Ikindoftookavowofchastity."

Hee. I love the way Baralai spills out his secret in a rush.

I also adore his intense embarrassment at the prospect of explaining why he can't have more than a kiss.

I love how the explanation is all rushed together into a single word, and how he's so very embarrassed about it.
