Balvaan one-shots

Disease

Giruvegan

Vaan ran over to the Marboro and began attacking. "I need some help over here!" He yelled to his teammates as two more creatures began attacking Vaan.

The first one over to help was Balthier, he stood by Vaans side before they were both targeted with a breath. Balthier grabbed his crystal shield and held it in front of him, blocking it.

Vaan wasn't so lucky, only holding the Zodiac Spear and tried to block the breath, but was of no use and he was hit.

A few arrows were shot before the last Marboro fell. "Vaan!" Fran ran over.

Vaan held his stomach, he was stuck with disease. "I-I feel so weak."

"Its okay Vaan, do we have any vaccines left?" The pirate looked up at the viera.

The three of them were on a quest to hunt the rare Crystal Knight which was located somewhere in the Great Crystal. But they were not prepared for sure, they were so desperate to try and upgrade that it prevented them from seeing how unprepared and now they are starting to feel It hard.

The viera looked in her bag and shook her head. "We are out."

"Blast, and we don't have the right magic." He rubbed Vaans back. "We only have one choice. We have to go back." Balthier looked up at her. "We need to flee, he won't last." He picked Vaan up bridal style and began fleeing with the viera as she used the teleportation device to teleport them outside Giruvegan.

Balthier ran over to the side to their campsite and rested Vaan down in their tent. "We'll have to wait a few days until he gets better." The sky pirate caressed his lovers cheek.

Fran nods in agreement. "I believe it is best, shall I get a fire going?"

"If you please." Balthier smiled and looked down at his tired and ill lover. "I want to make sure he stays warm." He knelt down by Vaans head. "Hey, hey are you cold? Vaan can you speak? Are you present?" He smacked Vaans cheek lightly, who looked up at Balthier with tired and weak eyes.

"T-Thier." He whispered.

"I know, we're gonna try to keep you comfortable for a day or two until the disease wears off okay? Then we'll get you cured up." He smiled.

Fran peeked into the tent. "I don't mean to intrude, but the fire is set. I believe it is best to set Vaan by the fire while I make an herbal tea." The viera walked over to her supplies and began crushing herbs to make a tea with.

The sky pirate nods and helped Vaan up. "Lets get you warmed up, it is quite chilly here." He wrapped a blanket around Vaans shoulders and pulled him down into Balthiers lap. He held him close and moved the blanket around so it would cover Vaans body fully.

Fran looked over and smiled, handing the mug to Balthier. "Shall I reheat the stew?"

Balthier nods in thanks. "If you please Fran, thank you." He smiled and helped Vaan take a few sips of tea. "Easy there love, don't burn yourself. Slow and small sips." He smiled and kissed the back of the young males head. "Small and steady."

Vaan shakily took a few more sips of the tea and set the mug down, he curled up against Balthier. His head resting against the sky pirates chest.

Balthier smiled softy, resting his hand on Vaans shoulder and rubbed it comfortingly. "I got you love." He whispered, watching the young man fall asleep in his hold.

Fran paused on heating up the stew. "I believe it Is best if we wait for the stew since he is asleep."

"I agree, thank you Fran." Balthier smiled, kissing the back of Vaans head once again. "He should be well by tomorrow and we can head out, pause on the hunt until we get stronger and more prepared."

"Agreed." The viera nods.
