✘ how did i get this far from what i held dear

Who: Zack Fair, OPEN
Where: Route 31
When: Night. Progressing into laaaaaaate night.
Summary: Zack has a promise to keep. And some training will take his mind of that strange feeling of impending doom from the sudden influx of ShinRa employees.
Rating: PGish. Depends on who joins in.
Log:

Zack Fair would have been lost without Angela.
Seriously, the dragon had a knack for sniffing out exactly what he was looking for, and her ability to Paralyze whatever she found made catching pokemon that much easier. The usually snippy, unimpressable dratini's mood always made a complete turn-around on the battlefield. It was the best way for the two of them to bond, and sometimes... it seemed like the only situation in which Angela looked upon her trainer with admiration and respect.

Four hours of rugged, damp, battle-riddled hunting had produced the results of not two -- not three -- but four different Poliwags.

And now he had all four of them lined up in a row in front of himself and his dragon... and Angela was inspecting each of them with contempt. Ash only needed two, but it was damn near impossible to tell which were which gender, which was the whole point of catching the stupid-looking things in the first place.

"Alright, kiddo. How goes the inspection?" The SOLDIER sat near Angela and stroked the side of one of her fins.

"Think these guys can make the cut?"

This hunting expedition had yielded pretty good results.
... The downside, however, was that he only had one Pokeball left.

"No, no! I am! I'm usually really good at this stuff!"

Oh, for the love of... Seriously, could this have gotten any more humiliating? Turning bright red when she placed her hand over his forehead, he staggered into an upright position, holding his back grouchily.

"I mean... No. I'm not an acrobat or anything. I just got sucker-punched in the spine. It's not my fault I messed up! Really!"

"I believe you," Kairi let herself relax a little now that she was sure Zack wasn't going to die. She shook her head, unable to stop the laughter that was bubbling up to the surface. Aside from the small scare, it was all actually pretty amusing.

"Maybe you can try showing me when your back's feeling better," By now she had trouble speaking without letting laughter slip out. At least Zack had succeeded in making her laugh, even if it wasn't how he had intended.

He curled into a sitting position, kind of ashamed at his blunder, but satisfied that her mood had improved anyway. That had been the whole point, right? To make her smile? Not to impress her with his superior male genes and physiology? .... Ho-hum.

"... heh. Yeah..."

"That was a really good effort though," Kairi assured him as she tried to soothe his wounded ego. She knew how guys could be about these things. Unfortunately for Zack's ego, Kairi doesn't quite say it with a straight face. "I was still really impressed."

He gave her a look that communicated something like 'huh, yeah right', but it soon gave way to a sheepish grin.

"You were, eh?"

"Of course," Kairi upped the convincing factor to assure him that his efforts had not been in vain. "And besides, it cheered me up."

"Mission accomplished, I guess." His mumbling was low but ... pleased, it seemed. Folding his arms across his chest, he sighed heavily and gave her a curious look.

"That's good, that's good."

"Mission accomplished," She repeated him with a shy smile. It was amazing how quickly she had become close to so many people here. So many people that she considered dear to her. And Zack...

"Thanks, Zack."

He dropped his smile suddenly in surprise, crossing his legs nervously at the ankles and shifting around in the grass.

"Hey... It's no problem." A lighthearted shrug and he gave her shoulder another bump.

"No need to thank me. All I did was fall on my ass."

"It made me laugh though, so that counts for something." It made her laugh after she was sure he wasn't in agonizing pain, anyway.

Their idle chitchat was enough to distract Kairi from the sounds of rustling around them. Something was moving in the grass around them, no, it was probably something much more horrifying. Dratinis with a plan.

"It does! Doesn't it?" Whatever made her laugh. Rubbing his back gingerly, he sighed exasperatedly...

... And one Dratini nodded to the other. They knew what ought to be done because -- well, they were dragons! Dragons knew best. That was just how the world worked. What their trainers were unable to see, they would just have to show them. The only way that dragons really know how.

Angela soundlessly slithered to the left -- Kairi's side -- keeping her body low in the grass to avoid detection.

Dragons did indeed know best. After there little girl-dragon talk, Tiamat felt enlightened. In between having conversations of their own, they had been observing the exchange between their masters. And since they couldn't seem to get things right (that seemed just so obvious to them) it was up to the dynamic dragon duo to help things along.

Tiamat slunk closer towards her target, Zack, communicating soundlessly to her partner in crime. Ready?

Ready when she was.

Clicking the fins of her ears once, she wrapped her considerably-sized body around Tiamat's master, but didn't constrict. The point wasn't to crush this time -- it was just to move. And if Tiamat timed her part perfectly...

While Tiamat wasn't as long as Angela, if there was one thing she loved, it was wrapping people. And she was good at it. Moving in perfect timing with Angela (because what about them wasn't perfect), Tiamat curled herself around Zack, gently (in relative terms) pushing him forward.

Kairi's eyes widened in surprise at the feel of something against her back. While it may have been gentle moving to Angela and Tiamat, Kairi found herself being pushed forward quite urgently.

"What the-" She broke off, close to falling over, bracing herself against Zack to keep from falling forward. Thanks to their meddling pokemon, the two were chest to breast now.

Angela, who was a bit more used to roughhousing with her trainer, wasn't quite as gentle with Kairi -- but she wasn't uncouth enough to damage her. With a carefully timed constriction, she pushed Tiamat's trainer toward her own. MISSION CHEST-TO-BREAST WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS!

"--Erp?! Angela, hey!!"

He turned and twisted in the coil of what he immediately recognized to be the body of a Dratini -- but the features of this one was different.

It wasn't Angela.

Waitwaitwaitwait THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. There was personal space -- and he was sure he was violating it right now.

Kairi squirmed in Angela's grip, her shock increasing when she realized Tiamat was in on this as well. Neither of the Dratini(s?!?!) seemed to be going anywhere. They were stuck. Kairi's face was flushed with embarassment, a combination of their new found closeness and her misbehaving Dratini.

"Uh..." Kairi laughed nervously, trying to keep her face out of Zack's. It was sort of difficult thanks to the tag team of trouble makers.

"...hi." She was at a loss. What else was there to say. Sorry our dragons are so meddling? You look really handsome in the moonlight? This is so awkward I could die? Shut up and kiss me?

Hi worked.

He, too, kept his neck craned backward, wondering what in the world he could possibly do to salvage the situation. Angie was going to really get it after pulling a stunt like this... but he had to give her props for organizing this with the other Dratini.

"Y.... Yeah. Hi." He wiggled against the grip of Tiamat. ... No good.

"... This is, uh." Maybe he was breathing a little bit more deeply. BUT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS SO HARD TO BREATHE, not because ... not because boobs. No. Why would you even say that?

With his head craned like that, Kairi's face was mostly in his neck. Which was...okay. Tiamat was going to get a long lecture about respecting others whenever they decided to let them go. If they decided to let them go. She was glad that he couldn't really see her, because her bright red face would likely be visible even in the dim lighting.

"What..." She tried wriggling out a bit, but it only gave Angela an opportunity to make them that much closer. Every centimeter counted, apparently. "What do we do?"

Boobies... closing in.

Body.... reacting involuntarily.

His neck inched closer to her face, encouraged slightly by the soft breathing against his Adams' apple.

"I, uh... I don't know." ... Gulp.

This was getting strange. He really shouldn't be... that close to her, should he?

At least it was just chest-to-breast. Whatever was going on below his waistline would remain a complete mystery to Kairi... which was probably for the best. Hngggg hormones.

Kairi swallowed hard, feeling inexplicably hot. Well...the fact that they were wrapped up in two Dratinis probably had something to do with but-

"Um," Kairi shivered involuntarily, trying not to think about the fact that they were really, really, really close. "Do you think...it sounds silly but maybe they, um, want..." What was she even saying? Or trying to say? If it weren't for Tiamat and Angela... curse their sudden yet inevitable betrayal.

"Want what?" His voice cracked involuntarily; Her shivering made his torso shudder. It just... it wasn't helping the pants situation either, and he flexed his arms, managing to slip one of them around her waist.

In case she was being squeezed too hard, he told himself. Because... that would be, uh...

...

He bumped his head against hers semi-playfully, grinning awkwardly. Maybe the two of them could just laugh this off?

"They're pretty insistent, though, eh? Ahah..."

"I don't know," Kairi confessed, feeling more flustered than ever now. She had no idea what they wanted, but whatever it was, they seemed like they had no problem waiting for it. Kairi took a deep breath, trying to relax. It was funny when she thought about it, and once she looked past everything that was so embarrassing.

"Yeah..." She laughed quietly, almost eye to eye with him. "Angela is a bad influence on her." Her nose brushed against his, and she smiled. "Any ideas?"

Ideas? ... Yeah, he had a few ideas. None of them were good ideas, but they were ideas nonetheless. She didn't seem quite as uncomfortable as he thought she would be feeling, though, and that made him a little less tense.

"How do you know it's Angela that's the bad influence?!" His cheek brushed against hers, appearing to hang his head in shame. ... But it was just to catch a hint of her scent, since she'd had such open access to his.

"I just think Tiamat is much more innocent," Kairi joked to try and relax the mood, to chase away the butterflies that were throwing a party in her stomach. Of all the people- well, there were certainly worse people to be trapped in a Dratini body lock with then Zack. And while she wouldn't admit it, she sort of... 'liked it' wasn't probably the best way to describe it, but something close to that.

Kairi managed to wiggle an arm free, having no other real place to put it than around Zack's neck.
