Shadow Fire

And believe me, I am still alive... I've just been hailed on, but I'm still alive... I feel perplexion, but I'm still alive... You've broken windows, and I'm still alive... You've got concussion, and I'm still alive... Still alive... still alive. >.>

Giving a soft animalistic growl, Zidane moved quickly, now straddling the mage, eyes locking onto Vivi's. Giving his smile, though it was now very seductive, he began removing his gloves, before moving one hand back to caress Vivi's face, the other hand beginning to unfasten his clothes. "Mmmh..." he purred softly. "Are you sure... absolutely sure you want this?"

It was the blond's turn to blush, and he could already feel his control slipping away. "N-no..." he stammered. "But... I don't want to put you into this situation, especially if you're not ready." With another shudder, he leaned forward and gently whispered into Vivi's ear. "Unless..." he purred. "...if you're already wanting to be mated, keep going with what you're doing."

The tailed boy opened his eyes halfway, his own cheeks red as he continued to shudder, seeming to feel immense pleasure. "V-Vivi..." he breathed out. "M-my tail... s-sensual... b-b-body..." Gulping, Zidane tried to compose himself. "My tail..." he repeated. "It's one of the most sensual parts of my body... and if you keep going... I may lose control... and make you mine..."

Espio nodded, accompanying Manic to the guest house. As he walked inside, he cast a glance over at Shadow and Sheko. The black hedgehog was still laying peacefully still. Before he could make any moves, he was glomped by a rather worried bee. In spite of his inner turmoil, the chameleon smiled. "Everything's okay, Charmy... you can relax."

His heart pounding, Zidane found himself deepening the kiss, already wanting to be as close as he possibly could to his beloved. I never realised that I'd feel this way about another guy... but being with Vivi just feels so... right. He pulled out from the kiss to give a shudder as he felt something play with his tail.

Zidane smiled a little wider. "Well..." he murmured. "I'm 16... and... and..." Eyes locked onto the mage's, the thief moved in and let their lips touch once more, draping his arms around the black-haired boy's.

Daishinkan can also mean a couple other things, such as "Big shock", which would work well for a character we're not expecting, but this guy? Nah... Great High Priest is better.

Zidane's heart thumped in his chest, the blond deciding to lift Vivi into his arms, carrying him bridal style inside the hideout. "Good..." he murmured contently. "I wasn't going to accept no for an answer." Placing Vivi down on the bed he slept on, he slowly reached to Vivi's hat and took it off, smiling at the mage's features. His messy black hair, beautiful golden eyes and innocent child-like face made him seem incredibly young. "Vivi?" he found himself asking. "I need to know... what is your age?"

The blond smiled, his tail flickering around, as he took Vivi's hand, the two of them heading to where Zidane resided when in Lindblum. On the way, he couldn't help but ask. "Vivi?" he asked. "Did you... wish to spend the night... with me?"

Zidane finished his soup first, giving a satisfied sigh. "That was wonderful..." he said. "Better than the stuff they have in the castle." The blond decided to watch Vivi finish up, wishing he could see properly into those beautiful golden eyes of his.

The thief nodded in agreement, before pulling away from the mage, giving a wink. "We'd better finish then..." he said softly. "We can't walk back to my place on an empty stomach."

Well, why not? The guy's a genius. lol We're all familiar with the original song by now: After hearing the the Australian comedy team "The Chasers" did a rendition of it, I had to search, and I found this:

His own arms curling around the mage's frame, Zidane gave a slight smile from within the kiss. Pulling away some moments later, he gave one of his heart-melting smiles. "Vivi..." he murmured. "When we're finished here... where do you want to go?"

Zidane pulled away a moment later, but let their lips hover close to one another's. "I'm sorry..." he murmured. "Sorry it took so long. The signs were all there and I ignored them. Every single battle we've had where you've been in trouble or despair, I've Tranced. I... I'm in love with you, Vivi... and I don't care what anyone else thinks." Ignoring the excited whispers around him, he leaned in and kissed Vivi once more.

The blond gave a slight frown when Vivi returned his hat to his head. "You shouldn't hide yourself, Vivi..." he murmured. "Especially with how gorgeous you look." The thief's cheeks reddened fiercely, and he took Vivi's hands in his own. "Sorry it took me so long..." he mumbled. "Freya's right about me. I am a fool. Oblivious to the end. I didn't realise that... that I..." Standing, Zidane moved to Vivi's seat, glancing at the mage, before leaning down, adjusting the hat so only he could see Vivi's face, and pressed a gentle kiss to the mage's lips.

Zidane went to ask Vivi if he was alright, but suddenly caught sight of a view he never thought he'd see: Vivi's true face. His face went bright red and he found himself reaching out, placing a hand on the mage's cheek. "Vivi..." he murmured. "You're... adorable... beautiful." The blond swallowed nervously, but found himself lost in the other's eyes.

With a chuckle, Zidane lifted his spoon up, getting a mixture of soup and mushrooms, before holding it out, giving a deeper blush as Vivi slurped it from his spoon. "Do you like it?" he asked. "Not too spicy?"

Zidane's own cheeks were red as he tasted the soup. As expected from Bobo's cooking, it was delicious. His smile widening a little, he glanced back at his own soup. "Would you..." he began. "...like to try some of mine?"

Vivi's voice brought a small smile to Zidane's face. Smile widening a little more, the thief cleared his throat. "Um... Vivi?" he asked. "May I try some of your soup?"

His soup arriving moments later, Zidane began dipping his buttered bread into it, slowly nomming it down, feeling a little more bewildered. He's always been around. Always with me... and there've always been hints. I always seem to Trance whenever he's troubled. I always want him to feel better about himself, and I'm always wanting to help him with everything. All this time, chasing the princess. Chasing all those girls... could I have just been hiding? Slowly, he lifted his soup spoon and began to eat the soup, but keeping his gaze on the black mage that sat before him.

Immediately, Zidane nodded. "Of course!" he replied. "You're sensitive, caring, curious, you are far stronger than you give yourself credit for. Actually, if anything, I kinda wish I were more like you." Not understanding where all this came from, Zidane reached for the cheesy toast as it arrived, taking a slice and chomping on it. As he swallowed, he found that the strange feeling wasn't going away. But if... oh... it can't be... it... can't... it is... I've... already... fallen for him.

His cheeks flared red when the mage told him he was cute. Sure, he knew he was good looking, but for Vivi to actually come out and tell him such? "I..." he choked out. "I... uh... I... thanks, Vivi... Y-you are too." A strange feeling came into his chest, and it nagged at him. Maybe because I'm hungry?

A waiter came along and took Zidane and Vivi to their table, before asking if they wanted any complimentary cheese toast. Zidane gave a nod, the waiter giving a smile and heading into the kitchen. Now alone with the mage for a few minutes, the blond wasted no time. "Why?" he asked, curious. "Why me? What could you possibly see in someone like me?"

Zidane gave another soft chuckle. "I was happy to pay..." he mused. "But if you insist, I'll have the usual... Mushroom Soup with dipping bread and butter..." He glanced over at Vivi, giving a sheepish grin. "I, um..." he began. "I'm a vegetarian..."
