~For you I'll guard~ (Noel and Serah)

They stood there in the hot sweaty wasteland of Oerba, her soft pink hair flowing in the hot wind. She had tears in her eyes looking around at the place her sister's called their home. She hated the feeling of helplessness and despair. This was horrible, so many years in the future and it was all for not.

"Oh god. . . ." she breathed softly, she looked around and walked to the broken home and went inside, and nothing remained but a torn mattress and an tattered blanket. She walked around seeing that the floor had gaps and the boards were rotted to the bone. Her eyes filled with tears, "Oh Vanillie, Fang!" she cried.

He stood there watching his 'Yeul' break down after all this wreck and ruin. He grunted with irritation and walked to her full intent to make her tears stop. "Serah. . ." he whispers gruffly, she looked at him her rosy cheeks stained with the sorrow of her friends home nearly demolished.

"Noel. . ." she whispers in the hot wind that nearly whips her hair near out of her pony tail. He moves to her and swiftly grabs her by the waist, she's shocked and gasps at the sudden forwardness of her companion. "Noel!" He simply hugs her tighter and 'shush's' her. She's left to wrap her slender toned arms around his broad waist and bury her tears and wet face into his sari.

She looks up at him, her face showing many emotions, one of them being love. He's puzzled by this emotion of hers, he touches her face. "Serah I can't even begin to know how you feel right now. . . . .but I do know that I don't ever want to see you cry like this again." he whispers softly, she hugs him tighter then is needed.

As the cold night draws near Noel walks around the house lighting the remaining candles they had in their nightly provision's kit, once the broken house was fixed to their liking for the night, Serah stood by the mattress and debated if sleeping in the same bed is cheating in her fiance's, snow, book. Before they just slept in inns, now it was getting colder and they had no way to keep body heat. Unless they slept in the same bed.

She jumps when she's hugged from behind by her companion. "Your freezing Serah!" he said in a panic, she looked at him puzzled why he was so concerned for her. "Noel I'm fine." She assures him softly. But he won't hear of it, he walks to them to the bed and her heart beat quickens. "N-Noel. . . ." but it's too late; she's laid on the bed with him over her flush against him, he takes the comforter, curtsy of Chocobolina, and pulls it over them. She gasps at the sudden warmth.

They lay there for a few hours until Noel grunted softly and shifts to his side moving again to his back. "Serah come here, closer to me." she is hesitant at first and moves over to her companion.

She lays her head on his shoulder as he wraps his slightly warmer frame around her slender cold body. She yawns softly and snuggles into him, a silent smile creeps onto her face. He smiles knowing that she was his now.

"Serah I love you, for you I'll guard."
