» Theme: Music

Men and women lined the streets of Rabanastre singing joyful songs and dancing about. What was today, a day in which people celebrated all throughout the beautiful dessert city? It was the fifth year out of the reign of the Empire, that’s what today was. It was a massive event, people from all over came to join in the celebration. People were freed from their dead-end jobs for one night of merriment and bliss.

But this also meant something to a certain blonde, for it happened to also be a day full of surprises. When he was awoken first thing that morning, he had expected to see none other than Penelo before him, making some comment about him being lazy. Instead, he was awoken by a set of pale lips being placed upon his smaller set. His eyes going wide in awareness, he noticed ecru locks by his eyes, and that could only mean one thing. Wrapping his arms around the gorgeous sky pirate, he tugged the man into the bed with him, instead of simply being straddled.

“Balthier, where have you been?” He nuzzled his face into the crock of Balthier’s neck and smiled. Since his last adventure with the sky pirate, it’d been atleast a year or more since he’d been visited.

“Off looking for treasure, my dearest thief.” He pressed his lips against Vaan’s cheek in a chaste manner and rose from the bed, leaving the poor boy to shiver in cold. “But I did find one interesting object. You may see it at the midnight celebration at the Sandsea.”

The rest of the day, Vaan couldn’t contain his excitement. He ran to and fro with Penelo, dancing around the streets to the live music. Heart felt lyrics and joyous songs came from every corner of the city. Finally, the hours passed, and Vaan found himself running away from the crowded streets and towards the Sandsea. Once inside, he looked around through the piles of drunken men, and as per usual, found Balthier sitting in the upper-class section of the bar.

Running up the stairs, Vaan was a little surprised to see that Balthier was alone- no Fran, no Ashe, nobody. They were alone- just Vaan, Balthier, and something of interest. The ecru-haired male motioned for him to take a seat, which the blonde teen gladly accepted. He’d been on his feet all day, so to be able to sit was a relief. Watching as Balthier stood and reached into his pocket and extracted a small velvet pouch. Stepping to the side and coming closer to Vaan, the blonde blushed as the older male fell onto one knee. It almost were as if Balthier was about to—

“Vaan Ratsbane, will you take I, Ffamran Mid Bunansa, to be your leading man.” He dropped the ring into his right hand- it slipped out of the bag with ease- and smiled charmingly up at the red-faced boy. A few people were watching at this point, and he could clearly see Penelo, Larsa, Fran, and the rest of the crew watch the couple with great interest. “I promise to make this work. We can travel the world on the Strahl, and make our dreams come true, my dearest thief.”

Vaan mixed Balthier’s words in with the music, letting them mix in his mind and create a soothing melody- the perfect love song.

“Of course, I, Vaan Ratsbane, would be thrilled to be your leading love- for now and ever.” And with that, the two kissed as the midnight celebrations began.

I’m currently working on “Ink” as a theme, but I’m getting stuck. D;

Anyways, I’m sorry this took so long to update. I had everything written down on paper, but I had yet to type and revise everything.

Sorry. xx

Finally, I have a new story that’s in need of a beta. If anyone is interested, please let me know via message- NOT REVIEW!

Danke. :)
