Like A Tissue

"We came all this way and there's still no Mist at all..." A little timid mage says as you all stop in front of a large looking temple. At least, that’s what you think it is.

"Yeah, and what a weird-shaped...village?” The monkey tailed man tries to determine the odd temple ahead of you. “What is that thing?"

Garnet, also know as Dagger, looks deep in thought."Maybe it's a temple of some kind."

“Same thing I was thinking but a temple almost in the middle of nowhere?” You mutter, tilting your head to the side and examine it.

“Who cares?” Your brother, Chris, mutters. “We just need to get through here.”

"Is very delicious shape.” Quina starts, licking s/he’s lips. “Inside might have fine cuisine!" After her/his exclamation, s/he runs off towards the entrance. You sigh softly.

"Geez...” Zidane shakes his head. “All s/he ever thinks about is food."

The princess lets out a huff. "Well, all you ever think about is girls..." She starts to walk off, leaving Zidane agape. You cover your mouth with your hand to refrain from laughing.

"Uh, that's right!” He quickly retaliates. “My mind is filled with thoughts of...you!" You start to walk after his comment, not being able to hold your laugh. Soon, Vivi walks beside you with Zidane trailing behind, sulking."Maybe I'm trying too hard..." Chris shakes his head and strolls over to Garnet, who is far ahead of you.

You reach the gate to see three goblins grinning happily. "Rally-ho!" They say, simultaneously as you blink in confusion.

"Wh-What's up with these little guys?" The blonde male says, perplex at the greeting.

"Wr-Wraly-ho...?" Dagger tries to say it, wondering what it means.

The mage is even more baffled then the rest of you. "Rh-Rhallie-who...?"

"Rally-ho!" Two of the goblin say and let the two pass. You start to wonder where Quina went of to.

Your brother lets out an irritable sigh and crosses his arms. “This is bullsh--”

"Rally-ho!" The goblin cuts him off, making you giggle. He gives the non-human a heated glare.

“...Rally-ho.” With that, he pushes through and walks away, leaving you and Zidane alone outside.

“Hey hold on..!” The monkey tailed boy was about to go after him but the goblin stopped him. He crosses his arms and pouts. "Oh, come on..."

"Rally-ho's oor sacred greetin'!" The one on the left says.

"If ye dinnae say Rally-Ho,” The one on the right warns, “then ye cannae enter Conde Petie, hametoon o' the dwarves!" Zidane looks annoyed at the two.

"Now, wait just a minute here-”

"Rally-ho!" The dwarves say in unison as the monkey tailed boy let out a sigh of defeat. You giggle slightly.

"..Rally-ho..."

“Rally-ho!” You say after him and they grin triumphantly.

"Rally-ho! Ye can pass!" One of them said and moved aside, letting you both walk in.

Upon walking in, you notice everyone has left to explore around the new temple like place. You decide to stick with Zidane, not wanting to be lost in this place. He doesn’t complain as you both survey the area. There are more than dwarves here, some probably from the Mist Continent.

“Hey, do you see that?” He whispers in your ear, gazing over at the shop. You shiver slightly at the close contact but turn where he’s looking. A Black Mage. Like one of the ones Queen Brahne controls. Except, it’s not on a bloody rampage. It looks like a civil person.

“I don’t think it’s trying to cause any harm...” You start but trail off seeing Vivi approach the mage. It looks alarmed and dashes off, making Vivi chase after it. You both instantly start to follow until Dagger and Chris spots you two.

"Hey, what's going on?" She asks, a little worried as Zidane shakes his head.

"I have no idea... But we gotta catch up with Vivi!" Zidane goes after the little mage as they turn to you for answers.

“Uh... there was a black mage here. The one’s that Brahne controls.” Their eyes widen in shock and you all go after to the monkey tailed boy. You see him standing with Vivi at the exit, looking off into the distance.

"Where the hell did he come from?” The blonde mutters. “Has Brahne found us?"

"Do ye ken the Pyntie-Hats?" One of the dwarves asks him as Vivi looks at him alerted.

"Huh? Did you just say Pointy-Hats!?" He asks quickly as the goblin shakes his head.

"Nay, Ah said Pyntie-Hats!” He corrects. “They often come from the Soothern Forest tae trade wi' us."

"They?” Chris says, raising brow. “There’s more of them?”

The dwarf lets out a grand laugh."Aye! But ye gots tae go all the way aroon' yon cliff an' then go east tae find the Sootheast Forest! They live sae deep in the forest, that even owls dinnae live there!" He explains and Zidane has confusion written all over his face.

"What's that supposed to mean?"He asks as the villager said nothing.

"Zidane,” The young mage calls outs, “I want to go to the Southeast Forest and find them!"

He turns to him and nods. "Yeah, me too."

"I think it's a good idea.” Dagger says. “We might find some clues."

“Let’s get this over with.” Your brother grumbles as you smack his arm. “Hey!”

“Be nice.” You scowl at him. “We should head out now, before it get’s dark.” You say, gazing at the bright sky. They all nod and you are all off on your way to this village.

----------------

“Well this is bullsh--”

“Must you swear brother?” You scowl, smacking him on the head as he glares at you. You have reached the forest where the Black Mage should have gone to but there was a fork in a path. You all have no idea where to go.

"I think they live 'so deep in the forest tha owls don't even live there.'" Zidane says, mocking the dwarf. It’s rather funny if you really listen to it. A idea clicks in your head.

“So deep in the forest the owls...don’t live...” You say, staring at the paths. “I get it!” You exclaim, making them all look at you. “C’mon!” You motion them to follow as you take the right path.

“H-Hey! Kimmy!” Zidane grabs your wrists as your breath hitches. “What are you talking about?”

“W-What the guy from the village said!” You tell him as he still looks a little confused. You’re more concern about how he’s touching your wrist.

You + Zidane + Touching A nervous you

“She means to say,” Your brother smirks, seeing your condition. “If you look up, you can see the owls. See? There’s three of them of the right path on a tree branch.” He points up to the branch and everyone’s eyes follow.

“But there’s no owls on the other side...” Vivi says timidly.

“Yes, wouldn’t that mean that is the way we go?” The princess ask as the monkey tailed boy let go of your wrist. You let out a breath.

“It makes no sense though.” You explain. “We just got inside the forest, so we couldn’t be that far in, right?” Everyone but Chris nodded. “So the right way would be to go where the three owls are.” You beam. Zidane grins at you.

“Alright, you lead.” He says, gesturing towards the right path as you walk down it, blushing slightly. You hear your brother laugh and you mentally tell yourself to remember to hurt him.

After going through the forest, making some rights and lefts, which looks like a never ending maze; you spot a black mage and quietly watch him. It stands in front of a area filled with dead trees. Suddenly, it raises its hands up and a portal forms. After it goes in, the portal stays. You all run though it before it closes. You feel awful for going though, knowing that it’s intruding but this is really strange. You reach the end and a black mages spots you.

"Ahh! H-H-Humans..." It stutters as the one in front of it tilted its head.

"What's wrong?" The other mage asks as the one that spotted you points over to you all. It turns around and its eyes widen. "Humans! Run!!" The black mages around them scatter like the wind.

"W-Wait...” Vivi tried to call out but sighs. “Did you see them!?" He turns to you all.

"Y-Yeah..." Zidane nods, still a little shocked.

"They were talking!” He beams. “There are others like me!" The little mage runs off.

"Why would anyone build a village in the middle of a dying forest...?" Dagger mutters as Chris shrugs, nonchalantly.

“Who cares...?” He mutters softly. “Where’d the shrimp go off to?”

"He went that way...but I... Hey!" Zidane watches as the princess and your brother wander off.

"A village! Village always have good food. I go find!" Quina bolts out of view and you let out a weak smile. These are your friends...

"Geez, you people..." Zidane mutters. “Oh well, I guess it’s just you and me, Kimmy.” He winks at you as you turn a little red. As long as there is no physical contact, you will be okay.

You two wander around for a bit; enjoy each other’s company and you hoping you won’t get nervous. At times you will and you’ll say something stupid or do something stupid. In other words, you like Zidane but he likes Dagger so that idea goes down the drain.

“Hey, Vivi!” The monkey tailed boy exclaims, noticing the mage but Vivi ignores him. “What's up with him...?" You shrug.

“Let’s go see.” He nods and you both find inside the inn. He looks sadden by something. "...Vivi? What's wrong?" You kneel in front of him.

"Huh? Oh, Kimberly...Zidane...It's... It's nothing." He says quietly as you bite your lip slightly. You know he is sad, but about what... you haven’t the slightest clue.

"Did something bad happen?” Zidane frowns. “All the black mages seem pretty nice."

The mage shook his head."Nothing happened..." Zidane has this blank look on his face.

“This village is too weird...” Chris walks in and goes on the top bunk across from you.

"Grr... I hungry! This village people eat terrible food." Quina enters, angrily as you shake your head with a smile.

"Oh, Vivi. You're back.” Dagger says, strolling in. “Where were you? You look very..."

"You got tired, right, Vivi?" Zidane speaks up for him as Vivi looks a little surprised.

"Y-Yeah..."

"I don't blame you.” The oblivious princess says. “We've been walking around non-stop. We should call it a day." She says, sitting on the bed across from us.

"I go to forest and look for food." With that, the Qu leaves.

"Yeah, we'll call it a day." Zidane says, stretching. “I call top!” He grins and grabs onto the railing with his tail. He swings himself on the bed and you sit down on the lower bed.

After a couple of minutes, there is light snores coming from your brother and the princess. Vivi talks with a mage and walks out on his own. You gaze after him.

"Zidane... Vivi just walked out." You say quietly, not wanting to wake up the other two.

"Maybe he's letting us have a little romantic quiet time." A blush instantly forms on you cheeks and you shake you head.

“Zidane!” You yell inaudibly as he chuckles softly.

"...I wouldn't worry too much." He says. "He's trying to figure something out for himself." His voice seems a little distant. "Think about it... Vivi's never met black mages like himself before."

“So I guess... he found a place to call home, huh?” You whisper.

"Yeah... A place where he belongs..." He sounds kind of happy but sad at the same time. You try to fall asleep but you can’t. Zidane voice was so different from his usual optimistic voice. He obviously hears the creaking from your moving. "What's the matter? Can't fall asleep? How about a bedtime story? Let's see... Once upon a time..."

“Oh my...” You mutter, smiling slightly. Zidane and his jokes.

"Once upon a time...there was a man. There was a man who didn't know where he came from..." You listen intently, seeing that he is serious. "This man had longed to find his birthplace ever since he was a small child. His birthplace. A place he only remembered in his dreams..."

“...Why would do that?” You ask gently.

"He wanted to know more about himself, maybe.” He responded quietly. “About his place, the house where he was born... One day, the man left the home of his adoptive father and went on a quest to find the answer. His only clue was the blue light he saw in his dreams..."

"A blue light?" You wrap yourself with the covers.

"Yeah. He thought it might be a memory of his birthplace. An ocean, maybe...?" He says, as if he’s trying to demine it himself. “A lot of things happened along the way.” You let out a low groan and he chuckles. “Alright, we can skip ahead... No, he never found it. How could he? His only clue was a colored light. So he went back to the home of his adoptive father... What do you think his father did when he came home?"

"...Greeted him with open arms?” You say.

He lets out a slightly louder laugh."No way! The father raised his fist and beat the son he had worked so hard to raise!" You cover you mouth from trying no to laugh.

“Interesting greeting.”

"Yeah... But you know what surprised him even more?” You calm down to let him answer. “The father smiled, after beating up his son! Can you believe that? He just gave his son a beating.” You look surprised. “But this is what the man thought when he saw his father smile... This is my home-- er, This is the place I call home.” He paused. “The man is still searching for his birthplace. But he already has a home. Maybe...it's the same for Vivi. He's looking for a place to call home."

You ponder on the story and his last though. "I wonder if Vivi will stay in the village?"

"Who knows...?” He says quietly. “That's for him to decide."

---------------

The next morning you are slightly sadden at the story. He might have not meant to say it but at the part of his story he said ‘I’. He was talking about himself; what he went though. You are sitting on a rock near the warp portal. The sky is clear, though you are hidden by a barrier from the world. The sun is just starting to rise.

“Hey, sis.” A hand starts to ruffle your hair and you look up to see Chris. “Who are you thinking about, Zidane?” He grins as you blush, turning away from him.

“Y-Yeah well, you shouldn’t talk!” You scowl as he sits next to you. “You like Dagger!” This time, he’s eyes widen and a pink tint forms on his cheeks. “Ha! I knew it!”

“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.” He sighs, leaning on you. “I think she likes Zidane.”

Your eyebrows rise in surprise. “Why do you think that?”

“That’s all she takes about.” He huffs. “’Zidane taught me this’ ‘Zidane taught me that’, ‘Zidane did this’, ‘Zidane can do that’! It’s annoying!” He growls and crosses his arms. “Why doesn’t she just marry the damn monkey!?”

“Sh, sh!” You quiet him down and place a hand on his shoulder. “Why don’t you just tell her? Maybe she just respects him.” You shrug.

“I don’t even know why she likes him... he just uses girls like tissues.” He scoffs as you raise a brow.

“A tissue?” He nods.

“He uses one or more and throws it away. Then uses another one.” You glance at your hands on your lap. “What about you?” He says, standing up.

“What about me?”

“Zidane?” He inquires and you turn a light red. “Why don’t you tell him how you feel?”

You fiddle with your fingers. “W-Well, he likes Dagger.”

“Wait...” He pauses and you look up at him. “Zidane likes Dagger?” You nod. “And you like Zidane?” You nod again. “And I like Dagger... that means...”

“Oh, no... Chris!” You groan and mischievous grin appears on his face. “Christopher Mar Samos, do not...!” You get up to go after him but he ran off. Sighing, you follow him into the village. No point in stopping him from he’s evil deeds.

Upon reaching, everyone was standing in the front of the village, minus Quina. You move in closer and Zidane spots you.

“Where’d you go off to?” He asks.

“No where important.” You say, averting your gaze towards Chris who is smirking slyly. “So what are we doing?”

“Oh, we’re gonna leave.” The monkey tailed boy explains.

“Someone saw a silver dragon in the northwest part of this continent.” Dagger continued. “The people of Conde Petie said there was a place called Sanctuary, where entrance is restricted..."

"I think this 'Kuja' said something about a secret being hidden on this continent." One of the black mages concludes her sentence.

Zidane turns to the mage in excitement. "You heard him say that?"

"Yeah.” It nods. “Something about the source of the Mist...”

“Where’s the shrimp?” Chris asks, looking around as you smack his arm. “What? He is!”

"Wait for me!" You all turn to the source of the voice. It’s Vivi, running towards you with a smile. Well, at the most you can see. "Everyone in the village asked me to see the outside world and tell them all about it." He explains as you smile warmly at him.

“Glad you’re coming with!” You say as he nods.

"You no can leave me here!” Quina’s voice rang though your ears as s/he runs towards you. “I starve."

"Oh yeah,” Zidane mutters. “I forgot about you..." You shake your head in disappointment.

"Let's go, everyone!” Dagger suddenly exclaims. “To Conde Petie! And to the Sanctuary, that lies beyond!" Everyone but Chris lets out a ‘Yeah!’ and you all vender in the portal, towards the outside.

-----------------

"So the Sanctuary is on the other side of that valley..." Zidane mutters. You have reached the village at sun down and you are getting a little sleepy.

"But the exit leading there from the upper floor is guarded by a dwarf who won't let us through." Vivi says; sadden at the impossible way of getting to the Sanctuary.

"Twin dwarfes block way out from shop on right side.” Quina adds on. “No can get through."

"Hmm...” Zidane rubs his chin. “Well, for now... We should just sleep and get on this in the morning." Everyone agreed. You all walk in, after saying the greeting and wander towards in the inn.

As you are about to walk in your room, you stop and move over to your brothers room. Loud snoring is heard and you sigh. He’s not up to cause mischief. You start to walk back to your room but you see a dwarf run down the hall. Curious, you follow after it and peer past the corner.

“Aye! Tae want ta pass ta tae Sanctuary!”

The one in all white shakes his head. “"Well, after a man an' a woman are blessed in holy union, they kin leave oan holy pilgrimage tae the Sanctuary." You cover your mouth in shock and dash towards your brother’s room, trying to get him up.

“Chris! Chris! Wake up!!” You yell softly as he groans and opens one of his ocean blue eyes.

“What is it...?” He says, sitting up and yawns. You get up from the bed.

“The only way we can get to the Sanctuary is if all of us...” You gulp as he raises a brow. “Get married!”

His eyes widen. “What?!”

“Y-Yeah! This dwarf and this other dwarf were talking about us and then the one in the long white robes all like; ‘They can’t get to the Sanctuary unless they get married!’” You say, panicking. His slowly goes out of shook and he smirks slyly.

“This is perfect... too perfect...” He mutters to himself as your eyes widen.

“What do you mean?”

“You can marry Zidane and I’ll marry Dagger!” He grins. “Then at the Honeymoon...” You face burns crimson.

“B-But what about Vivi and Quina?” You ask as he waves it off.

“Someone will think of something.” He glances at you. “Now, go to sleep. None of this never happened, got it?” You nod slowly and walk towards your room. You hear something coming from the room, like groans of pain.

You walk down the hall as the sound gets louder. You stop in front of Zidane’s room and blush crimson. Gulping, you open the door and peer in. He’s tossing and turning in his bed, sweating slightly; a nightmare, maybe? You walk over to him and pull a chair near his bed.

Nervously, you reach over to his hand and hold it. He stops tossing and grabs your hand tighter. You didn’t expect him to pull because now you’re in his bed, almost on top of him. You try to move but he wraps his arms around you. Suddenly you wonder if he’s away, but he’s snoring away.

This is going to be awkward.

----------

The blinding sun hits your face as you opening your onyx eyes. You turn to your side to see no one. Everything rushes back you your head and you sit up. You’re in your own room. Did that happen or was it all just a dream?

You get up, have a shower and change into new clothes. Opening the door and checking the rooms, you notice everyone has wandered off. You decide to do the same. Taking your bag, you go off into the village filled with dwarfs. It makes you feel kind of tall. You spot a monkey tail and blush slightly.

“Hello, Kimberly.” You turn your head to see Dagger walking down the stairs. “What are you looking at?” She asks politely as you point over to Zidane and she peers at him. “Hm...” She grabs your hand and moves closer.

“...So...basically it's a wedding...and a honeymoon, right?" You hear him speaking with the dwarf in the long white robes from last night.

"Ah dinnae ken yir words, lad,” He speaks, “but me thinks ye understan'."

"So we can go to the Sanctuary if we do this Ceremony, right?” Chris says, suddenly appearing beside Zidane as your eyes widen. Is he still planning that?

"Oh, hey, Chris! So yeah, that's the deal. Whaddya think?” The monkey-tailed man asks your brother as he rubs his chin.

“Well, there’s no way I’ll marry my sister so you’re gonna have to do it.” He says as yours and Zidane’s eyes widen. Oh God... he’s still planning it! “I’ll just have to marry Dagger.” The princess blushes slightly but says nothing.

“What?!”

"The ceremony's only fer dwarves, see...” Chris flinches a little, seeing his plan not working. “...But we have sae few young folk nowadays. We're doon tae ninety-nine couples. Ah was worryin' aboot that very thin'... But where's the harm? Now we can have oor hundredth and hundred-one ceremony!" The dwarf cheers as Chris turns his head to see you two.

“Oh, hey! We were just talking about you two!” He grins and winks at you as you shake your head. He is going too far with this.

“About the marriage, right?” Dagger asks as Chris nods. “Let’s do it.”

: "... Uhh... Dagger? Chris?” He looks at the both as they make there way to the Kirk boat, following the dwarf in the white robe. “Wh-What's going on?" He turns to your for answers.

“I-I dunno...” You mutter. “B-but we have to do this to get to the Sanctuary!” You explain and he looks kind of surprised. After your brother’s and Dagger’s ceremony, you start to make your way there and wait for the priest, who is talking to them.

"Now hold on a sec, Kimmy!” Zidane goes after you. “Don't you get it? This is marriage, m-a-r-r-a-i-g-e!"

"No kidding...” You blush very lightly. “But we gotta do it to go on, no?"

"Yeah, but...” He pauses. “But that's not reason enough!"

“Let’s just get this over with, Zidane.” You mutter and walk to the center as the priest comes back.

He clears his throat and Zidane stands on your right. "Speerits o' the moontain, Speerits o' the wood..."

‘We’re only marriage while we’re here, so he shouldn’t freak out like that...’

"Watch ower this man an' woman as they begin their journey..."

‘I think I was supposed to freak out and say ‘Hell no!’

"...In sickness an' in health..."

‘We’re only trying to get past this village...that’s it.’

"...Have the strength to carry ye through the trials..."

‘Maybe... he likes me?’

"...An' the wisdom tae follow the path..."

‘Maybe not... he sure looks deep in thought though... wonder what he’s thinking about...With that look right now, something that’s making his ego rise...’

"May the blessin's o' heaven be upon this man an'woman!" You blink as a bright light shines on you. It’s already over?

"Kimmy!” Zidane grins. “Now we're man and wife! Time for the kiss..."

Your eyes widen. “The what?”

Then it happens.

You were to slow to move.

The monkey-tailed boy wraps his arms around your waist and kisses you right on the lips. Your eyes widen in shock but quickly close from the sensation. Heat rushes to your face and kiss him back.

He pulls away, grinning proudly. “Hm... Strawberries...” You turn around, blushing, and walk down to he priest.

"Happy fit!” He says. “Now ye need anoonce yer joinin' tae the twins at the other gate!"

"What!?” Zidane whines, standing beside you. “You mean there's more?"

The robe wearing dwarf waves a finger at him. "We have tae follow tradition, lad!"

"Ah, well...” He smiles slightly. “Time for us newlyweds to make the rounds, Kim." He winks as you blush lightly.

"D-Don’t forget! We’re only married while we’re here!" You say as a sorrow look appears on his face.

"Bliss is so fleeting." He says melodramatically.

"Zidane...” Vivi says, as you look down surprised. Was he watching the whole time?! “What are we supposed to do?"

"Hey!” He yells playfully. “You guys tryin' to ruin our honeymoon?" You smack your forehead and drag it down your face. How can you honestly like this guy?

"But you no can just leave us here!" The Qu complains as he sighs.

"Don't worry. I'll figure something out. Hmm, let's see..." He taps his chin. “...Why don't you guys get married, too?” All of your eyes widen.

"What!?" You and Vivi yelp as Zidane grins.

"Yeah, that's it!” He snaps his fingers. “In the meantime, Kimmy and I can go announce our marriage." They are left speechless as the priest shows them to the Kirk boat.

“Folla me!” One of the dwarves says, as he motions us over. “Ye hav’ tae stae herr on’ naeght tae go to tae Sanctuary.” You blink and turn to Zidane as he shrugs his shoulders, not understanding a word that it had just said.

Translation: You have to stay in a room one night with Zidane before you can go to the Sanctuary.

------------

“Herr ye go!” The dwarf opened a door to a very large room and you both stepped in. It’s as if they knew you were getting married today... “Happy fit!” He shuts the door before you could stop him and Zidane plops on the king size bed.

“Kimmy,” You turn towards him as he calls for you. “Wanna play a game?” He asks as you blink. The monkey-tailed boy pulls out a deck of Quad Mist Cards and you inwardly sigh in relief.

“Sure.”

You are both sitting on the bed, your cards all scattered on the sheets. He’s winning and you’re losing, badly. You only have on good card left; Ifrit. You bit your bottom lip and place a goblin card down and he defeats it with a fang. You scowl as he grins widely.

“I give me your Ifrit card.” He stretches his hand towards you as you hold you Ifrit card close to you and shake your head. “Hey, hey! I won!” He whines as you stick out your tongue. “Fine then, give me your shirt.” He places his hand down.

“Wha...?” You blink at him as he smirks at you. “That’s not even a card, Zidane!” You blush.

“Yeah, well... then give me your Ifrit Card.” He states, reaching his arm over to you.

“Okay, okay!” You say, placing the card on the bed and pulling off your shirt. “Here...” You mutter, giving him your shirt as he grins. “So when can I have it back?”

“Once you beat me.” He says as you gave him a determine look.

In less then an hour you lost all you clothes, minus you undergarments, and he’s grinning like a manic. You are blushing wildly as you place down a card. Bad move. He slaps down a Behemoth Card and you sigh.

“I have nothing else...” You mutter as you look up at him as he smirks slightly. “What?”

“Yeah, you do.” He moves all the cards off the bed and crawls over to you. “...Your virginity...”

“What?!” You yelp as his nose touches yours and he chuckles.

“That’s right, Kimberly.” You shiver slightly as he leans near your right ear. “That’s what I want for you...”

“I-I-I... I...” You stutter out as he nips lightly on your ears. “Eep!” You jump back and land on the soft pillows. Your onyx eyes wide as he chuckles, moving over to you with a seductive look. “U-Uh.. I-I think you should--!”

He presses his lip lightly on yours and places his hand behind your head, making the kiss deepen. Slowly, your eyes close and you shyly wrap your arms around his neck. Zidane’s body hovers over you as he pulls away from the kiss. He’s smiling. A blush appears on your face and you look away to your left. You can feel his shot breath blowing against your neck and you shiver.

You gasp lightly as you feel his tongue glides down your neck and back up. It feels like he’s going to bite you like a vampire. He has no fangs but he nips lightly on your sensitive pale skin. His right hand brushes your chest and you whimper slightly. He stops and looks into your eyes. You’re still blushing as he slowly moves his hand over your bra. Fortunately for him, it’s front clip. You turn crimson and try to cover up.

“Its okay, Kimmy...” He says soothingly as he moves you hands away and you blush. “...Damn...” You cover them again and he chuckles. “Relax...” He whispers, moving your hands once more.

He plants feather like kisses on your neck and moves down towards your chest. You inhale sharply as you feel his hot tongue run between your large breasts. He licks around them, teasing you. Your body starts to heat up and you twitch, wanting him to not tease. He grins at you like a Chester cat and pinches your nipple.

You gasp at the wave of pleasure that pinch gave as he starts to twist it in different directions. He lets go and runs his tongue over your erect nipple. You whimper in bliss as he starts to flick it with his tongue. Nipping it, he brings it to his mouth and sucks it. You let out a soft moan and his left hand begins to pinch your other nipple. As he continues, you feel yourself getting wet between your legs and you begin to move them a little.

The monkey chuckles and moves his mouth from your nipple. “Anxious, are we?” You turn crimson and he lets go of your nipple.

His tongue glides downward; past your ribs, past your bellybutton, and stops at the tip of your underwear. You can hear him smirking. He lifts on finger and runs it down your covered wetness, making you bit your lip. He loves teasing you. He starts to rub it with two fingers and you moan a little louder. To your pleasure, he pulls down your underwear with his teeth.

Your eyes widen as you feel his tongue run over your entrance. A groan a pleasure escapes your lips as he licks again. Over and over again waves of ecstasy course through your body and you reach your hands to him, grabbing his hair softly. You almost squeal as you feel his tongue enter you. You reach your peek and you cum. You lay there, embarrassed as Zidane licks all your cum from you.

You start to move to sit up but he stops you. “I’m not done yet, Kimmy...” He says huskily as your onyx eyes widen. “Far from done...”

“Ah..!” You squeal as you feel two of his fingers slip inside you. “Wha..What are you...?!” You moan out the best you could as he leisurely moves his finger in and out of you. The feeling is unimaginable but the pace is killing you.

He could tell too. “Tell me what you want, Kimmy.” You whimper loudly as he felt his fingers move around. He smirks slightly. “Tell me.”

“I-I...” You bit your lip as he moves around more. “P-Please...”

He raises a brow in amusement. “Please what?”

“Please..!” You breathe out. “Faster...!”

“That’s all I needed to hear.”

You arch your back as his pace quickens drastically. Your hips follow the rhythm of his magical fingers. You grip the dark violet sheets as he begins to lick your clitoris. It isn’t long until you cum once more. He fingers are drenched in the sticky fluid and places them in his mouth. You sit up and lean over to the unsuspected monkey-tailed boy. He lays his back, him between your legs, and your eyes burn with lust as his teal ones are filled with excitement.

“Hm...” You say, “You have too many clothes, Zidane.” His eyes widen at your supposed innocent voice. “I feel left out...” All that passion he gave to you... you’re going to return it to him.

You unbutton his blue vest and pull off white shirt, making his six-pack visible. You hand rail up and down his chest and he grunts. You kiss him lightly on his neck and suck on his collarbone. He moans slightly and you rub his nipple between your thumb and index finger. He looks at you eager and you kiss him on his soft lips.

You trail down his muscular body and you reach his jeans. Slowly, you undo the belt and pull down his pants to see the large bulge in his banana boxers. You smile slyly and place a hand on it, feeling him tense. Rubbing it gently, you feel it getting harder and harder as Zidane breathes heavier and heavier.

You finally pull down his boxers to see his large manhood. Shaking off the shock, you grasp him in your hand and begin to slowly rub it. He grunts loudly as you quicken your pace. You can see him gripping the sheets and know he’s about to let loose; so you stop abruptly. He looks at you with a slight glare as you smile innocently.

His eyes widen as you run your tongue over the tip of his member. He groans as you take him in your mouth. Slowly, up and down; teasing and taunting him until he places a hand on your head, gripping your hair. Quicken your pace; you can hear his loud moans as you continue sucking him. You take his member fully in your mouth and take it out as the grip on your blue hair tightens.

“I...I’m coming..!” He says above whisper as you prepare yourself. He releases in your mouth and you take it all in.

It taste... sweet...

He sits up as you clean yourself up and look at him. He pulls you into a kiss and you bodies fall on the bed in a tangled naked mess, his tail wrapped around your torso. You both feel each other as your make out session continues. Zidane pulls away and looks into your eyes. He’s on top of you.

“Are you ready, Kimberly?” He asks, looking in your eyes for an answer.

“Y-Yes...” You sputter out as he chuckles, kissing your cheek.

“You’re so cute...” Steadily, he positions his member near your entrance. “This will hurt... but I’ll take it slow, okay?”

“Uh huh...” You nod and brace yourself. He pushes inside you and pain electrocutes though you. Yo whimper in pain, tears rolling down your eyes.

“Sh... Sh... It’ll be alright...” He soothes you as he caresses your cheek, rubbing the tears away. Zidane stays still, not moving at all, trying to make you stop crying. He buries his head in your neck and whispers calming words.

“I-I’m alright...” You tell him as he lifts his head and stares at you.

Nodding, he gently starts to pull in and out. There is little pain but within minutes is turned into pleasure. The bliss hits you so fast that you are almost shaking. He quickens his pace and you moan loudly. It’s heaven to you.

“Ah...! Z-- Faster please!” You plea as he obliges to his enjoyment. You arch your back as he slams into you and quickens his pace. The room is filled with your moans, his grunts and the noise of flesh hitting against flesh.

“Ugh...Damn...” He groans out, gripping your hips tightly. “You’re so... tight... Damnit...!”

“Ah!” You breathe out. “Y-You’re just big...!” He starts to pound into you, harder and harder until he leans towards your neck. You can feel his breath on your neck. “I-I’m...coming!”

“I am...too!”

He moans and gives a couple more pushes until he pulls out. You both cum and he drops beside you. Heavily panting, you rest your head on his chest with a hand by your head. His heart is beating fast as his chest rises up and down at a rapid pace. Zidane wraps an arm around your small waist and pulls you closer, reaching to pull the covers over both of you.

“Zidane...” You say, almost falling asleep as his teal eyes turn to you. “I-I... I love you...” And sleep takes over.

----------

You toss in your sleep and turn to your right. The sun is shinning brightly on your face as you remember everything that happened between you and Zidane. You blush instantly. However, you open your eyes and no one’s there. You face saddens and you sit up, placing a hand where Zidane was.

You get up and have a shower. After the hot shower, you slip into new clothes since Zidane still has your clothes from last now. You look down the floor and grab your bag, heading out the door. The town is still lively as you walk towards the exit of the Sanctuary.

“Hey! Kimmy!” You turn your head to the familiar voice and stop. It’s Chris. “Hey, how was last night?” He raised his brows as you smile sadly with a small blush. He frowns. “What’s wrong, Kim? Did he do something you didn’t like?” Anger flared in his eyes. “I’ll kill him!”

“N-No!” You grab his arm. “I-It’s nothing! Just tired!” You lie though your teeth as he stops and turned to you.

“I suppose so...” He rubs his chin. “He tired you out that much?” He says as you blush slightly. “Well, as long as you’re okay...” Your bother mutters off and notices Dagger. “Ah, there’s my princes... gotta go!” He runs after her and you look after him in mild shock. He was never like that.

“Kimberly!” A little voice calls as you glance to your right to see the young little mage and the Qu. “Where were you? We were look for you everywhere!” He exclaims as you blush.

“Well, we still have parts of the ceremony to go though...” You tell him half of it as he nods. “Did you do the ceremony?”

“Yeah.” He nods. “But we didn’t have to do one part because they said I was too young...” He says, looking perplex as you giggle, placing a hand on his hat.

“I’m sure it’s fine.” You say with a smile.

“You okay?” Quina suddenly asks as you gaze at her/him. “You seem sadder than usually. Quina not like.” H/She says as you give the Qu a gentle smile.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“...” Quina didn’t look happy with the excuse. “We got go. Bye.” S/He grabs Vivi’s hand and pulls him away as the mage hardly had time to say bye.

You sigh lightly and lean against the wall, staring at the blazing sun thought the window. “Another day.. another tissue...”

“Whatcha taking about?” Your head snaps in the direction of the voice. “It’s bad to talk to yourself, you know.”

“Zidane...” You mumble softly and turn back to the window.

“Is there something wrong, Kimmy?” He asks, moving closer to you as you turn to him with a fake smile.

“Nothing! It’s nothing...” Tears start to brim in your eyes and you turn away from him.

“Kimberly...” He says quietly as you turn your back to him. “There’s something obviously wrong... you’re crying...”

“I know that!” I snap at him. At the corner of your eye you can see his blank face. “I’m fine! Really!”

“...I guess you didn’t hear me then?” He smiles warmly at you as you turn to him in surprise.

“Hear what?” He chuckles.

“Nothing” He mocks you as you glare. He wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you close. “You probably fell asleep before I could tell you...Tired you out didn’t I?” You blush and try to get out of his hold.

“Her what?” You repeat, a little angrier. “That I’m just a tissue? Just like all the other girls you used and threw away?!” He lets go of you and his eyes are widen. “So I found out your secret... huh?” You ask softly. “Well, this will be in the past now... just like every other tissue...”

“What are you talking about?” He questions as you gaze up at him. “Just because I’ve slept with other girls, doesn’t mean that’s the reason I’d do that to you too!” He says, below a yell. “You’re different; you’re smart, beautiful, caring, loving and so very cute..” You blush and he chuckles. “I could never use you like that, Kimmy.”

“I-I...” He wraps his arms and his tail around you; his arms around your shoulders and his tail around your waist. “Zidane...”

“You really didn’t hear me then.” He says, and makes his nose touch yours. “I love you too, Kimberly Anna Tribal.” He grins as you scowl at him with a smile and blush. “What? We’re still in the village, which means you’re married to me!”

You glance at him with a warm smile and cross your arms. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
