Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane didn't end up hearing Vivi, because of the crowd going wild for the competitors. Casting a glance over at Vivi, he gave a thumbs-up. "You'll do fine!" he called over the din. "Believe in yourself, Vivi!" The countdown began. "5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HUNT!" Zidane rushed towards the Theatre District, immediately managing to get into a battle with a creature, defeating it swiftly. "Zidane is in the lead!" the announcer's voice boomed all over Lindblum. "Currently on 42 points!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Freya took down a couple of creatures with ease with her spear, hearing her name announced with the highest score with 60 points. "Hmm... I know a better way to test my skills..." She smiled, before heading to the aircab. ---- Vivi was backing away a bit as he had a Fang and three Trick Sparrows cornering him. He saw it trying to hurt a young woman and tried to get its attention. He closed his eyes, throwing his new staff forward, as it had been hit by a Thunder spell, seeming maginifed by the upgraded weapon, as they all fell over dead. He suddenly heard a voice yell that he was in the lead with 72 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 The game continued on, and by the time Zidane had heard the announcement about Zaghnol, Vivi was ahead of him by about 24 points. Arriving at the Business District, he gave a whistle. "Wow..." he murmured. "That is one big beast. Hey, Vivi! Save some for me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi was shivering a little bit as Zidane made his way over, drawing his weapon for the battle. "I... I don't know if I can do this... I was just trying to help those kids..." "Allow me to assist you." They looked up, as Freya jumped from the building she had perched on, and landed beside the two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 His eyes narrowing playfully, the blond gave a nod. "Freya..." he said. "Let's beat this thing. But bear this in mind... I'm getting the points here... I've got a date on the line..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Freya looked over at Vivi, before jumping forward. You were put in the Business District for a reason, Vivi... I knew the Zanghol was going to be around this area, and you would be the first to find it. If you want that date with Zidane... you better defeat it before Zidane does... Vivi tightened his grip on his staff, as he threw his staff forward, summoning his Blizzara spell, causing it to weaken the beast's lightning abilities.

Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane went to launch his own attack on the beast, when he was suddenly interrupted by Freya. "What?!" he screeched. "Must you keep persisting with calling me a fool?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Freya had a little grin. "I wouldn't have to call you a fool if you were oblivious to a certain thing happening right in front of you..." She glanced over at Vivi, seeing the beast was weakening and he was close to the final blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane blinked in surprise and turned to see one last spell slamming into Zaghnol, the beast succumbing to its injuries, and fading into oblivion. "Wha-?" the thief choked out. "What in the hell?" The announcer's voice called out a new message. "Vivi has defeated Zaghnol!" the voice boomed. "Vivi is now in first place with 777 points!" The blond glared at Freya, realising what she'd done, and upon hearing there were only 10 seconds left, he scrambled to find one last enemy to push him into the lead. However, just as he found one and was about to deliver the killing blow, it vanished as a loud siren sounded, signalling time up. "Congratulations!" the announcer boomed. "The winner of this year's Festival of the Hunt is Vivi, with 777 points!" Zidane looked crestfallen, but he was gracious in defeat. Waiting for Vivi to get his Card, he walked over to him and grinned. "Nice one..." he chuckled. "Guess you're the one who gets to date the princess."

Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi lightly squeezed his card, as he glanced down, "Um... about that..." He barely had a chance to talk, as Zidane suddenly held his hand and began to pull him along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Still bringing Vivi along, Zidane turned to grin down at him. "Hmmm?" he questioned. "What? Don't you want a date?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi tugged himself to a stop, making it look like Vivi was trying to make Zidane halt in his steps. "I don't... w-want to go on a d-date with the princess..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane stopped instantly, and he glanced into the mage's eyes. "Well?" he asked. "If you don't want that, what do you want?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi had managed to free his hand in the confusion of the blonde hearing he didn't want to go out with Dagger... He had to say something, Freya had helped him get this far, he had to do the rest on his own. That caused a small gulp. "I... I didn't... I don't... want to... go out with D-Dagger... I want to..." He bowed his head, his face feeling like it was in flames, especially the way the older was watching him. "I want to... g-go out with... y... you..."

Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Just as he was about to speak up again, Vivi's confession came out, and it hit the tailed boy like a ton of bricks. "What?!" he exclaimed. "Me? B-but I..." That's when he realised all the signs were there. Vivi was always wanting to be around him, always holding his hand, always flustered whenever he smiled at him. "I get it..." he said finally, his expression bewildered. "You're in love with me, aren't you Vivi?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi felt his face burn up into flames as if he had set a fire spell off on himself, as he fidgeted a little bit. "...Y...Yes..." Was it bad that he was in love with him...? He remembered passing by the place he grew up, and he saw two men in the alleyway, their arms wrapped around each other, and their lips pressed together in a kiss... he didn't think that there was anything wrong with that kind of thing.

Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane felt his own face get warm. Someone actually went so far as to have fallen in love with him, though it wasn't who he expected. Resting his hands on Vivi's shoulders, he gave an uncertain stare into the mage's eyes. "Vivi..." he said softly, averting his glance after a moment. "I'm not someone you should really be wanting to pursue. But... I am a man of my word... so we'll go on... our... date..." Zidane didn't know why he felt so strange saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi pressed his hands together, giving a rapid nod. "T... Thank you..." A tiny smile was visible on his lip, as he followed close to the blonde, debating if he should hold his hand just yet or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane could see Vivi's dilemma, so, with a slight smile and shake of his head, he reached down and took Vivi's hand. "Vivi..." he mumbled. "So... where do you want to go? I mean, you won this after all, so the choice is yours." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi heard his stomach growl as he was asked where he would like to go, as he laid his free hand against his tummy. "I'm feeling hungry... can we go eat?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Giving a chuckle, the blond nodded, his own stomach growling. "Yeah..." he agreed. "The festival can take it out of you. Come with me. I know a great place. The food's cheap, but it's delicious." With that said, Zidane began to slowly walk towards said restaurant, still keeping a hold of Vivi's hand. How could I not have seen the way he feels? I bet Freya somehow knew... and she distracted me... Heh... well, I'd better have a good time. I don't want to upset him.

Sollux Captor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vivi was brought into the restaurant, as a older looking man looked over, noticing Zidane there. "Ah, here again, Zidane? And who is this little fella?" Vivi blushed, seeming to hide further behind his hat, as he hid behind Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zidane chuckled at Vivi's antics. Well, he is cute... I'll give him that. "His name's Vivi..." he said assertively. "He won the Festival of the Hunt... and a date... with me." His lips unwillingly seemed to curl into his warm smile as he said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 "A date huh?" Bobo seemed to muse. "First time I saw a guy wanting to go out with you. Well, since we got the winner of the Festival here, then pick whatever you want, free of charge." Vivi seemed to perk a little bit as he heard that. "Really? Thank you very much..." Everyone was so nice in this city... he rather liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 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..."
