CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAY EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE*

[seventhe]

Fandom: taking back Valentine's Day since 2008!

So last year bottle_of_shine had a Kissing Battle. The last edition is here (EDITED TO ADD: this is the old battle, not the current one!). It was a lot of fun and might be known around FF-fandom circles as the best Meme ever**.

Pretty much everyone I know is stressed about something, too, so this round of the Kiss Meme Battle honestly couldn't have better timing. (I love you guys) This round is about feeling good, it's about love, and it's also about seeing who can write the most kissy drabbles and ficlets in one week!

Final Fantasy Kissing Battle: Valentine's Edition!***
Happening right here in this very entry

This portion of the rules I borrow from Nay, because she explained it well.

Requirements:
  - Kissing. Of any sort, even if it happens to be platonic. Otherwise known as: gen kisses are okay!
  - Put the fandom and pairing in the header of comments with kiss fic! SERIOUSLY. This makes it 300% easier for people to browse (and for me to compile).
Limitations: above the belt (this isn't about porn) and Final Fantasy only (crossovers are cool).

There are many ways to play! Write kisses and post them as comments. Make a list of requests and hope someone will fill them. Write other people's requests and hope they do the same back. (Requests can be filled more than once.) Find other good kisses and squee! EDIT - You can request anonymously, if you want!

This is about love and feeling good and that kind of stuff so people who are stupid about it will get my steel-toes in their ass. WITH LOVE ♥ ♥ ♥

I'm thinking about a week for this, so whoever writes the most kisses in that time wins!

GO TO IT, GUYS.
Let the Kissing Battle begin!
Feel free to pimp and invite people! THERE'S LOVE FOR EVERYONE.


*Don't lie to me. You hate it, you know you hate it, and you love to hate it. You love to complain about how stupid of a holiday it is. Single, committed, married, playing the field, porn star, straight, gay, bi, curious, into donkeys - we all have a hate-on for Valentine's Day, and we all compete with each other over the size of our Valentine's-Day-hating cock. I've had it. ENOUGH. THE HATE STOPS HERE! FILL THE WORLD WITH MOTHER FUCKING LOVE, YOU FUCKING COCK BITCHES.

**it might also not. I may have made that part up.

***the name of this color is "Dark Hard Magenta." HAHAHA. HARD. i am such a loser. Also, I hope it's as annoying on YOUR screen as it is on MINE.

REQUESTS
Updated: ~1:00pm 02-18-08

♥ Each *asterisk* represents one kiss already written for that request. It certainly does not mean you can't write another - it's really for people who are trying to make sure everyone gets their fair share of the kisses.
It's only based off of kisses with labeled comment headers. If you forgot to label your kiss, reply to it with a comment WITH THE PAIRING IN THE HEADER and I'll try to update you.
♥ Newest requests are at the bottom of each list, labeled with a heart. ("New" simply means "the most recent people I've added".)

Again, if you don't want your name on your request, feel free to comment anonymously.

Yuna/Baralai - I want to play too!

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

“He’s been returned to you, the one you were looking for?”

She nods and smiles, watching as he masks the disappointment with a neutral expression. “Yes. I had never imagined it possible.”

They stare out at the spires of Bevelle in silence, and she wishes he could find someone to make him happy. He deserves happiness after all the struggles he’s faced. Yuna isn’t sure why she felt it was necessary to come and tell him, but she thought it best he heard it from her before rumors began to circulate.

The sun begins to set, and she knows they are all waiting for her aboard the ship. “I have to get back.” She turns to leave but pauses. Yuna bites her lip and knows she shouldn’t ask – knows it will probably hurt. “You are welcome to join us. We are having a bit of a celebration…”

He sighs and shakes his head. “My place is here, Lady Yuna.”

She nods, hearing the finality in his words and wishing it could be different. As she moves away from him, she barely notices his hand grasp hers until he’s already brought it to his lips. She can feel the hairs on the back of her neck raise as he bids her farewell, and his eyes are solemn when he releases her hand.

“You are always welcome here,” he whispers before turning back to gaze out at the city.

(LOL I've never written FFX before, can you tell?)

I LOVE YOU LIKE BURNING. (more than I already did)

CROSSOVER FF4/FF7: Reno/Rydia

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

He hates patrol. Where’s the excitement? Just a bunch of drunks and lowlifes fighting for the best spot in the gutter. And now he’s saddled with her.

Not that he minds really – she’s gorgeous. He never thought of a Turks uniform as something sexy, but then again, Elena spends most of her time yammering on about how it makes her ass look huge. On this girl it’s like a glove, hugging her curves in all the right places – does she have any idea?

Probably not. She’s too busy gawking at all the neon lights that make it look like daylight in the slums. Tseng must have thought he’d been the one to eat the last box of Moogle-O’s in the break room and sent him to wander around as punishment. He watches her lips as she bites them in her barely concealed excitement, her eyes widening as they pass a few bars and gentlemen’s clubs. He supposes that this isn’t the best neighborhood for a lady, especially one from another world entirely, but surely there are brothels where she’s from.

He’s startled out of his staring when she tugs on his sleeve. “What’s that?”

“What’s what?”

She is sheepish and gestures with her hand. “That over there. What is that man selling?”

Reno lifts his gaze finally from her cleavage to spy an ice cream vendor at the end of the row. The hell is this guy doing setting up in this neighborhood? But Rydia’s eyes are sparkling at the thought of such a treat, and he realizes that she’s probably never seen such a thing before. Fumbling around in his pockets for some change, he tugs her by her elbow over to the stand.

“Alright, which one do you want?” She still looks so confused, and since they have places to be, he shakes his head and points to a chocolate and vanilla swirled cone. The vendor hands it over, and she nearly stumbles back in her surprise.

“It’s cold!” she squeals as she gets her very first taste of ice cream, and he can’t help but smile. He gives the vendor a nod and drags her away.

“Don’t spill on that uniform, alright? It looks unprofessional.” She raises an eyebrow at that, looking pointedly at his untucked shirt and loosened tie. “Shut up,” he mutters.

They continue through the streets, and he sees that a bit of the chocolate has settled at the corner of her mouth. He shouldn’t really, but he hasn’t had ice cream in a while either. Stopping her with a hand to her wrist, she looks up in confusion. “Is there something on my face?” she asks quietly, trying to wipe her mouth but hitting the wrong side.

Too easy. The chocolate isn’t the best he’s ever had, but it’s the slums, so his expectations are low. But the way the ice cream has mingled with the taste of her makes it worth the handful of gil. “All good now,” he says with a smirk as she turns away angrily. Patrol isn’t so bad.

Oh, that was really cute! XD

Auron/Rikku FFX (GEN SORRY)

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

If there was any evidence for the cyclic nature of things, it was in Rikku. Inevitably he seemed to get put in a group with a particularly loud and annoying person. Only this one was too young to drink, a girl, and from what he could see, free from tattoos.

Still.

"What you haaave in there?"

"Nothing I will share with you."

To some extent, he was glad Tidus had only inherited a few of his father's traits, those being the least annoying. But this Al-Bhed more than made up for the rest.

"Oh... kiss my boots!" she said in frustration, and it was a very odd thing to say considering the situation.

Later, when he needed a sphere from her and she was still sulking over not sharing his sake, he remembered how he dealt with overly talkative and somewhat annoying people.

She was much lighter than he expected, and did make quite a satisfying thud after he shook her out and let go of her ankle.

"What was THAT for?!"

He smirked. "Kiss my boots."

Re: Auron/Rikku FFX (GEN SORRY)

[katmillia.livejournal.com]

OMFG THAT WAS AWESOME.

Reno/Rydia THIS IS KIND OF THE FIC I PROMISED YOU WEEKS AGO.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

She sat in the chair, tapping her foot idly against the floor and deliberately ignoring the gleaming green orbs on the desk in front of her.

"You stay here while I'm gone," he'd said; "This won't take long. Here, amuse yourself." He'd snapped the orbs from his rod casually and tossed them into the uneven sea of paper on his desk. One had rolled onto the floor, three underneath the wicker contraption labeled "Inbox", and one was resting on top of an empty notebook.

She could feel the orb. It was staring at her. Mocking her.

Rydia huffed and turned the chair around. She wasn't going to touch them. Reno wasn't her boss, and even if she was scarily dependent on him in this new world, he didn't get to tell her what to do. She wasn't a kitten, to sit in his office playing with bits of gleaming glass while waiting for him to return.

The other side of the office was boring, however - a coffee-stained couch with a lopsided photo above it of a waterfall - and Rydia sighed aloud in boredom as she spun the chair back around to face the messy desk again.

She wondered what they were.

It wouldn't hurt, she thought, to take one and see what it did. If they were just marbles, she could throw them at Reno when he came back. Maybe they did something special. She remembered the gift Yang and Yingyi had given her at their coronation, a pair of smooth round stones that rolled around the palm and created a soothing chiming sound, a specialty from Fabul. She had to swallow hard at the homesickness that the simple memory had produced in the back of her throat.

To distract herself more than anything - she'd been crying enough, these days - Rydia reached forward and grabbed the shining green marble.

It was cool to the touch, but even as she looked down on it in her palm, it warmed up, radiating heat back into her skin. It had started to glow, and something inside the stone was swirling around, like mist, or almost like water. The stone was thoroughly warm now, and it was tingling in her palm.

And suddenly Rydia felt something else tingling, in the back of her head, and it was like a switch going off - that small portion of her spirit she'd had to abandon as a young child in the Land of Summons, making a dangerous choice...

She closed her hand around the strange stone, willing it into life - willing it to be - and she felt the Curaga pour from inside her, washing over her arms and legs, warm and tingling. The scent of the healing magic reminded her of Rosa more than anything, and Asura; Rydia bent her head over the stone, clutching it even tighter, casting Curaga over and over and over, trying to let the calm, warm feeling of the magic stay her tears, hoping the healing rish could help soothe the tight pain in her heart.

"I see you figured it out."

She turned around, and Reno was standing there, smirking at the sight of her; she must look a fool, with specks of magical residue still in her hair and sparkling around her, clutching the small orb to her heart as if it were her lifeline. But that really didn't matter at the moment.

"I can heal," she said, but even as she said it she knew he would never understand. How could she explain to him - to an assassin, to a killer - how could she explain how much she'd ached over their travels for the simple ability to stay a wound? How she'd felt like such a trained weapon during the war? How, only after it had been done, she'd realized what giving up her white magic meant?

But she blinked, and realized Reno might understand, in the end. After all, he was a weapon too. And this - this magical orb - it was his.

She clutched the bead tighter in her hand, resolving to keep it near her if she could, and as she threw herself at Reno and pressed her lips to his, she cast Curaga, again and again.

Awww, that's so cute... *squeeing ensues*

Auron/Rikku - hopefully it satisfies?

[dior-anghel.livejournal.com]

It's kind of very long. Apologies for that! I don't really know how to write anything short. XD

It was more than a little embarrassing, Auron thought to himself. He was, physically, the strongest of their group. He was also the oldest and most experienced. This wound should not have happened. It wouldn't have been so bad, except that he was not used to having his wounds healed the old-fashioned way.

After, all, with Yuna god-knows-where and no one else having any knowledge of White Magic (at least, none that healed) and having run out of Potions, they were stuck with Rikku's clumsy bandaging in between battles. She was the best of them at it, of course, but that didn't mean she was actually any good.

He'd tried to insist that he'd be fine, it was only a scrape, but Rikku had dug her heels in and refused to take another step until Auron let her take care of it as best she could. Auron had at last agreed, telling the others to gone on ahead.

It hurt, actually, quite a bit more than the infliction of the wound. Rikku was pouring some kind of fizzy liquid over it that burned like a fire spell, and when she started wrapping the bandages, she wrapped them a little bit too tight - not enough to cut off his circulation, but the pressure made the wound ache.

"There," she said when she'd finished. She tied the bandage off with a flourish and beamed as though she expected applause.

"Thank you," Auron said grudgingly, because, okay, it probably had been a good idea to get the cut covered up before more sand got in it. "Can we move on, now?"

Rikku sighed and shook her head. "Meanie. Does it hurt a lot?"

Auron shrugged with one shoulder and avoided eye contact which, though she hadn't known him all that long, even Rikku knew meant yes, but I'm trying to hide it.

"Poor thing," she said, and before he knew it, she'd leaned up and kissed him on the lips.

Auron blinked at her, and Rikku wanted to laugh at how very unlike him that expression was.

"Didn't you mother ever kiss your boo-boos?" she asked, smiling.

"I think the intent of that saying was to kiss the actual wound," Auron said stiffly, and hoped that he was imagining the suddenly husky tone to his voice.

Rikku's grin widened. "Oh, really? Sorry."

Needless to say, she didn't look sorry one bit.

Re: Auron/Rikku - hopefully it satisfies?

[katmillia.livejournal.com]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE OMG OMG OMG. <3

Re: Auron/Rikku - hopefully it satisfies?

[vita-chan.livejournal.com]

Love it! Of course she's not one bit sorry :D.

FFVIII: Squall/Ellone

[kristinmachina.livejournal.com]

The boys didn't like being kissed, but Squall didn't mind.

Ellone was older than them, so she would help tuck the kids in at night. Seifer told everyone that all girls--no matter how nice they seemed--had cooties. Irvine pulled the covers over his head to avoid being kissed. Zell ducked like a turtle under the blankets.

Sis just shrugged and smiled, then turned to Squall. Squall didn't care what Seifer said. In his mind, there was no way that someone as wonderful as Sis had cooties. So when she knelt down to tuck him in, Squall kept his face over the blankets.

Sis gave him a peck on the forehead, and whispered, "Good night." She then turned out the lights on the way out.

Squall could hear the other kids giggle. He could even hear Seifer call him "Sis' Pet" and "Cootie Monster."

He didn't care.

OMG THAT WAS SO CUTE I AM NOW DED. OF CUTE. OMFG.

FF12: Basch + Ashe (Cute explosion? Y)

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

The Princess is a real handful, and Basch tries passing off guard duty to Vossler or anyone else who will take it. One would think guarding the King is the hardest job, but guarding his daughter is far more difficult. The nine year old is all arms and legs, and her latest adventures usually leave Basch’s heart in his throat. Princess Ashelia fancies herself a Viera now, and she likes to climb the tall trees in the palace gardens.

It is very difficult to maintain a stoic front when a little girl is scrambling over tree limbs and sticking branches in her hair to stand in for Viera ears. Right now, she is perched on a branch just overhead and is raining down blossoms and leaves on his head.

“Basch?”

“Yes, Princess?” he replies as a handful of leaves tangle in his hair.

“Do the Viera mate for life?”

The question isn’t so very strange. Ashelia likes to ask challenging questions, seeing how many of her guards’ buttons she can push before they bring her back inside to the stern nanny she loathes.

“They live very long lives, so I would think not.”

“If I was a Viera, I would.”

He pulls some of the leaves out of his hair and tosses them to the ground. “That is a very noble thing, Princess.” Another solid ton of leaves cascades around him. “Are you making me into a tree, little Viera?”

She giggles, but it is short lived. Apparently, the Viera Ashelia has the same lack of balance as the Princess Ashelia, and she slips on the branch. “Basch!” He has to hold in a laugh at the sight of the girl clinging desperately to the tree limb, her skinny legs kicking in the air.

“Yes, Princess?”

Her grip is slipping, and he pulls her into his arms and sets her down on the ground before him. Ashelia pouts, sticking out her bottom lip at him. “I don’t want to be a Viera any longer.”

“Perhaps that is for the best,” he agrees.

She scratches her head then, pondering her next adventure. “Bend forward!”

He does as ordered and is shocked into silence when she kisses him full on the mouth. She scampers away laughing.

“I think I’ll be a sky pirate!” she shouts across the courtyard. “And I’ve just stolen my first treasure!”

He shakes his head. He prays that Vossler will have the strength to endure the Sky Pirate Ashelia tomorrow afternoon.

Crossover: Reno/Rydia (MOAR OMGWTFBORDERLINE PR0N)

It had been a perfect night. Unlike most of the women he’s dated before, this one obviously prefers to be wined and dined before giving in, which isn’t so bad really. There should be more women like her, at least that’s what Rude is always bitching about when some broad tries to get in his pants before he even opens the car door for her.

She was fascinated by the menu at the restaurant. The lobsters in the tank nearly sent her away screaming and then the movie afterward had really thrown her for a loop. He was glad he hadn’t taken her to the 3-D theater – that would have really kept him from getting laid tonight. Speaking of, he’s got her against the door and she’s playing hard to get – letting him kiss her cheeks but not allowing him access to her mouth.

“Why are you being so hasty with me?” she remarks, holding on to the lapels of his jacket.

He nuzzles her neck, smelling the sweet perfume Rufus himself had picked out for her, the bastard. “Hasty? I think not. I call this methodical if anything, sweetheart.”

She purrs a bit when he darts out his tongue to tickle her ear. “If you say so.” After a few more minutes paying attention to everything but her mouth, she finally grants him permission. She tastes like the fruity drink he’d bought her at the bar after the movie, like tart berries and a twist of lime.

It’s all going very well. Very well. She’s got her hands in his hair, and he wonders if he should call her out on being the hasty one now. His cell buzzes in his pocket, and he groans.

“Reno!” She shoves him away quickly, a look of horror crossing her face. “What…what is…?”

Oh for the love of…

“It’s not what you’re thinking, alright?” He takes the phone from his pocket. Rude. The son of a bitch. Flinging the phone onto the couch, he turns back to her, but the moment’s gone. Damn it.

I BET HE PLANNED THAT, RUDE IS SUCH A SNEAKY BASTARD.

I LOVE YOU IN WAYS I CANNOT DESCRIBE ON LJ FOR FEAR OF BEING ARRESTED FOR PRON. ;)

Crossover: Reno/Rydia (LOL KATY)

He should have realized something was wrong when the delivery boy smiled at him. It’s been a long day. Some punk had taken a shot at him, an old brothel madam had put him in a choke hold and then there had been the stacks of paperwork waiting back at the office. All he wants is peace and quiet.

She’s sitting in front of the TV when he walks in the door, as she has been every night since he’s let her crash there. “Hi Reno,” she remarks innocently as he takes off his jacket and tosses his keys on the table.

He’s halfway to the kitchen for a beer when he trips over the box. “What the…”

A blur of emerald in the corner of his eye followed by two arms around his neck and a tasty mouth to kiss helps him ignore the growing pain in his foot. “I bought you something!” she exclaims happily.

He raises an eyebrow and nudges the gigantic box with his toe. “How?” He’d left her here all day, and his wallet was…

Rydia smiles and waves the bit of plastic in his face. “Well, I saw it on the…tele…televisor, and I knew you’d like it.”

Oh shit, she’d stolen his credit card. “Rydia, you didn’t…use that card did you? To pay for this?”

She looks at him strangely. “It’s the same as using gil, isn’t it?”

Thinking of the mound of bills already gathering dust on the coffee table, he collapses onto the couch and puts his face in his hands. “No, it is not the same as using gil. What the hell did you buy?” Her face goes as red as his hair then, and he wants to strangle her.

She backs off and hovers in the corner. “It says that it cooks food in seconds. A micro…microsomething?”

“I already have a microwave,” he complains. “How much did this microwave cost?”

She mutters so quietly that he doesn’t hear her. Narrowing his eyes at her, she looks to her feet. “17,000 gil…is that too much?” He’s ready to faint. She sits beside him and kisses his cheek. “I’m paying for this, aren’t I?”

“Yep.”

She leans her head on his shoulder and sighs, slipping the credit card in between his fingers. “Sorry.”

“I forgive you.”

“Good,” she mumbles. “Because I bought eight of them.”

Edge/Kain, because well...i have to

[eerian_sadow]

He was whining and he knew it, but Edge was very drunk and so he couldn't bring himself to care. He was just surprised that Kain hadn't skewered him with the spear leaning not-so-casually behind his chair.

"I just don't get what she sees in you, man. I mean you're moody, depressing and no fun at all."

Kain smiled at the ninja indulgently. He had been going on in this vein for some time now--somewhere after the fifth tankard of ale. Edge was a much more entertaining drunk than most.

"Perhaps its that i am a good kisser."

Edge blinked at the Dragoon several times before he laughed disbelievingly. "You can't be that good!" He paused. "Can you?"

Kain simply raised an eyebrow in response.

"All right man, I gotta know."

Kain supposed he could forgive the ninja--he was drunk after all--for assuming he would be allowed, rather than asking. He let Edge press their lips together before taking over the kiss and plundering the other man's mouth thoroughly.

"Shit," was all Edge said when they broke apart.
