Destinies Intertwined (Lightning x Male Reader)

Chapter 07: Vanille's Plan

(Point of View Change: Vanille)

After we arrived on Gran Pulse the eight of us flew walked for a while, trying to find a suitable place to camp. Eventually we made to Vallis Media, and I called "This place seems good to camp. Why don't we try to clear the area of any monsters?" The others nodded, but as we began go out I ran over to Fang and whispered "Psst, Fang!" She looked at me and asked "What is it?" I began to walk away, and waved my hand for her to follow. Fang was confused, but thankfully she did.

Once we had made it a good distance from the camp she asked "Alright Vanille, what's goin' on?" I smiled and asked "You remember that fight with Raines, and when (Y/N)'s opposite, Demise, appeared?" She scoffed. "That's not something I'm going to forget any time soon." "Right, and do you remember how Lightning was able to distract Demise long enough to knock him out?" I asked, smiling with my eyebrows raised.

Fang laughed. "Yeah, Lightning kissing Spiky. I won't be forgetting that either. So what's your point?" "Well, I was told some helpful information by Snow, and it turns out those two really are a couple. But knowing those two, they won't get anywhere with a little push." I explained. "Okay, I get what you're saying. So why did you need to call me over here?" Fang asked. "Because, I have a plan to help those two speed things along. And I need your help."

Now it was Fang's turn to raise her eyebrows. "Let me get this straight. First, you were told by Snow that Light and (Y/N) are a couple, and you believe him. Second, you believe that their relationship needs your help, and have a plan for such a thing. Third of all, whatever this plan is, you need my help to do it?" she asked, half in exasperation and the other in disbelief. "I know it sounds crazy, but believe me that it's true! Please, I need your help!" I said.

"You do realize that if you're right, we go through with this plan and they find out, odds are they'll use both their swords to slice us to pieces, right?" Fang asked, and I nodded. She sighed. "If it was any but you Vanille, I'd say no. But since it's you, I'll do it. But you owe me one, got it?" I ran to hugged her happily. "Yes, yes, thank you Fang! I'll definitely owe you one for this!" I said happily. She sighed again and hugged me back. "All right. Now what plan have you got in mind?" she asked.

I pulled back and cupped a hand over her ear, whispering.

After we had gone back the others questioned us as to where we went, but I waved their questions away and said that we were just talking. Now in the loop, I said "Well, if we're gonna camp here we might as well look for supplies. (Y/N), Vanille, I will go look for supplies in the Yaschas Massif. The rest of you can search the Archlyte Steppe." They all nodded, and while we split up Vanille took (Y/N) by the arm and began taking him, while I walked over to one of the devices (Y/N) called a "Save Machine".

"Hey Fang, aren't you coming with us?" (Y/N) asked. "Oh don't worry about me, I'll catch up." I said. He was about to protest when Vanille tugged on his sleeve and said "Come on (Y/N)! Let's go!" He looked at her and she pulled again, this time hard enough to make him stumble. "All right, all right! I'm coming!" he called, going along with her. I smiled, and waited until they disappeared from view before turning back to the Save Machine.

Accessing the online shop, I placed a total of 8000 gil in a compartment that popped out. It slid back in, and immediately a large rectangular bag the size of my body materialized next to me. I smirked and quickly summoned Bahamut, who flew down and hovered above the ground next to me. Putting my spear on my back, I grabbed the bag and threw it over my shoulder, jumping on. Bahamut roared before taking off, climbing into the skies with almost frightening speed.
