Welcome to Gaia! ::

Next part is short the sake of a (late) update. Next part should definately be longer.

---------------------

Stan was breathing heavily in a gift store, laying on a mountain of cuddle teddybears.

"You really need to do something about that, Stan." Dimlos scolded, tired of the fangirls pulling at him and Stan.

Stan let out a tired laugh. "Well, if there was one or two, I could've talked, but thirteen at once is a bit much..."

Dimlos sighed and mumbled something Stan couldn't hear about how much of a lost cause he was.

"Well," Stan spoke getting up and stretching. "I won't find any worth while present in here..." Stan walked out the store looking left and then taking a final look on the right. "...Think it's clear."

"Just go, stupid..."

Stan obeyed his cranky swordian and jetted off to the next gift store east of town.

"Sacraficing a nice date for awsome love between other people is a great price to get crackin' at my work again!" Chelsea beamed as she followed a couple tightly holding hands and humming, unaware of a pink haired teenager stalking and filming them. "May not be the exact couple I'm looking for..." She hid under bushes and zoomed in on the couple starting to kiss. "But good enough...kekeke..."

"Chelsea?"

"YEEP!" Chelsea cried, leaping out of the bushes and tossing her camera high into the air. "I swear I am not stalking and voiding my jail charges!!" Chelsea panicked with her eyes shut. She was fearing that she was caught...again, and that she wasn't sure what would happen next if she were caught this time.

"Uh..." Stan was wondering what she was babbling about....

"I just dropped something in the bush! That's all!!"

The launched video camera crashed down loudly as it broke into many pieces.

"EYAH!!" Causing Chelsea to scream and fly into Stan's arms.

"Chelsea..." Stan quietly called out to her from not only being confused, but disturbed. Jail? Stalking? Video camera?

Chelsea looked up at Stan and sighed with great relief. "Oh! It's just Stan!"

"Uh..." Stan frowned, pointed behind her. The couple over heard their little peeker and was very dis-pleased.

"You had me scared there, buddy boy!!" She laughed slapping his waist, she saw Stan pointing behind her and turned around. She didn't care for the couple at first, but that..."My camera is broken!!" She screeched and got on her knees, scrapping up the pieces.

Stan just groaned and palmed his face, walking away. Not only was he being ignored by Chelsea, he wasn't going to stick around for the trouble she got herself into...

Chelsea felt someone tapping her back and she looked over her shoulder. "Uh..."

"What kind of little girl turns out to be a sick pervert?!" The woman of the realtionship angrily stated with her hands on her hips. She was highly embarassed and disturbed at the odd things life can just throw at you. The boyfriend however, had his arms crossed waiting for an explanation.

Chelsea got up and stared the boyfriend in the eyes. "Okay, I can explain."

"You better because," he couldn't finish, for that Chelsea had already blasted off at full speed around a corner. "H-hey!!"

In his room, Stan picked up a neatly wrapped box with a tiny pink ribbon around it. He looked at the tiny box that fit into the palm of his hand and sighed. “Hrmm…”

“Stan, to end this whole ‘venturous’ day…how about just giving him the present? You made it, and it looks well crafted. Y’know people like gifts that were made for them, sort of special in a way hard to explain…”

Stan blushed; he disliked it when Dimlos behaved all fatherly towards him sometimes, though he appreciates it from time to time. “Eh….ah…” He was lost for words again.

Dimlos laughed at Stan, but he truly did wanted to get this over with and hang around the other swordians. They may just be swords, but the conversations that they all make gets rather interesting. “C’mon, Stan. Go.”


“Okay, okay…” Stan whined in defeat and left to find Leon. Unknowing of his hate of valentines day... But he wouldn’t mind a present from him, right?
---
Leon walked aimlessly walked around Janos, sort of forgetting his purpose for a few reasons. He was outside on the dreaded pink and red hearts day, he was grumpy and mentally scarred, and someone was singing as he walked around…

Someone only he could hear.

“Why is his heart waiting for so much for that tender hearted someone~? ”

“Chal…” It’s not like his singing was bad or anything, it’s just that he was annoying him with the lyrics. They were suspicious and…

“Don’t cry anymore, good bye, good bye sadness!”

Leon sighed. Really suspicious.

“His heart is always honest, a quiet greeting of sleep because it has a secret wish. Oh holy, holy whisper!~”

“Chal…” Leon groaned once more, hinting he wanted him to shut up already.

“Let’s find him a wonderful future!”

”Okay, stop it, Chal.”

“It’s the magic of love…Love’s all the way! Every day, the temptation of it, so fluffy…”

“Chal!” Leon yelled aggravated. He really doesn’t like to yell or talk to Chal directly in the open because no one else can hear or see a ‘Chal.’ No need to look crazy for the crazy paparazzi to write about.

Chal was losing all the straightness in his voice as Leon’s anger was making him go into a fit of giggles in-between words. “Is it just- it just your ears playing tricks on you when you hear ‘I love you! I love you…’?”

Leon growled annoyed, his walking was now transformed into stomping…

Chaltier was laughing now, he won again thinking. “Chal, two. Leon, zip!”

“The person I am looking for is named ‘Stan Aileron.’”

Chal decided to cause more trouble for the day, because this may very well be the first and only time he can pull this many stunts on Leon. “Oooh, do you hear that? She’s looking fer’ your Stan, Bocchan!!”

Leon’s eyebrow merely twitched as he turned around to see a smiling young woman in a bright pink dress.

“Thank you!” She giggled at the person who told her where to find Stan. She turned around and stared at the map as she walked on ahead. “I can’t wait to see him again; it’s been so long…” She bumped into Leon and looked down at him, giving she was a little taller than him. “Oh, sorry!”

“Oooooh, sounds like you’re second fiddle to Stan from how she said ‘It’s been so long!’” Chal was going to have his amusement today for sure…for sure…

Leon looked up, their noses touching… in an ‘a duel is about to start.’ Manner... “What’s your business with Stan?”

She made a little space between them, finding the closeness awkward. She crossed her arms and made a disinterested pout. “What of it? None your business.”

Leon scoffed. “It is my business because I don’t know who you are.” He crossed his arms now and glared at her.

She put her hands on her hips. “It’s none of your damn business!” She stated sternly, threatening for a fight now…

Leon put his hands on his own hips and furrowed his eyebrows. “It is my business.” His tone was sharp enough to count as a verbal bite. “Because he’s mine. Got it?” The finishing statement sunk in like poison from the previous sharp bite…

The girl looked insulted. “What?” She growled crossing her arms, demanding an answer…

Leon smirked at her and let out a cocky ‘hah’. Proudly standing tall with his hands still rested on his hips. Deciding not to ‘own’ her any further, he strolled passed her in a catty manner feeling as if he won but.

“Answer my question, you!!” She roared pulling Leon back by his cape.

Leon was angered she dared to do such a thing and slapped her clear across the face as she cried out in pain.
Leon flicked his hair and walked off again, only to slapped back.… “Ow!” Turning around, he saw the girl with her hand ready for another slap; instead he slapped her back quickly.

The girl growled and slapped him back…again.

Chal, three. Leon, zero.

People were taking notice of the slap fight and decided to keep their distance no matter how amusing it was…

Leon slapped her again, except with great force, knocking her into the ground. He brushed some hair out of his face, scoffed and tried to walk away…but.

“You’re a true…True pompous jerk!” She yelled and threw a rock at him

“You stupid girl!” He hissed summoning a pikohan into his possession, getting read to whap her on the head with a big one.

“It’s Lilith, jack a**!” She roared pulling out a ladle.

“Fine!” He yelled and clashed his pikohan with her ladle.

Whew boy….
----
Stan still had a blush across his face as he walked his way over to the other inn Leon was staying at. Giving that Janos was pretty popular place during some holidays, some places got crowded…Stan sighed.

“Get over yourself.” Dimlos harshly stated, the moping and insecurity was getting on his nerves now.

“Yeah…” A rumble nearly made Stan lose his balance as he looked at the sky; a large beam wave was shot up…He was wide eyed. “Oh why, Lilly?! Why?!” He hollered and ran towards the area the energy wave was shot.
--
Leon was panting tired from all the dodging and swinging a slightly heavier than usual hammer. The girl was as quick as he was! And what the hell at the large energy beam of destruction?!

Lilith was tired too, she was used to kicking a** because no one was as fast as she was… but this guy, though being a self-centered jerk to her and perhaps others, was a good opponent. Who also had a weird weapon…

“Liiiillly-chaaannnnnn!!”

Leon and Lilith’s perked up at the voice and both turned around to see Stan breathing heavily from probably running a little too fast.

“Stan!!” Lilly cheered and flew into Stan’s arms and snuggled his face.

Leon scowled and balled his fist angrily at someone snuggling his face.

Stan pried Lilly off of him and placed his hands on her shoulders, giving her a stern and displeased look. “Lilith, what have I told you about shooting out your thunderswords?”

“Not to use them in towns…” She mumbled.

“…That’s right. And I also told you to stop fighting guys all the time, Lilly!”

“Cunno, pnu... …” Lilith murmured with her head down.

Leon blinked. “Pnu..?” He pulled his hair. “She’s your sister?!” Luckily he was learning that mysterious and weird language of Stan’s...

Stan nodded. “Yep, troublesome little bugger she is.” He patted her head laughing.

Lilith only snorted and whipped her hair as she turned her head from her brother’s view.

Stan gave her his room key. “Go wait for me at my room?”

She snatched the key and stormed off. She was called a troublesome bugger, and fought with a prissy guy. Perfectly good reasons to be pissed…

“Ah, Leon…Sorry. She’s a rough tomboy, especially when it comes to fighting guys…”

Leon crossed his arms and turned his back to Stan.

“Aw, Leon!!” He whined and walked up to him putting his hands on his shoulders now.

Leon ignored.

Stan sighed and pulled the present out of his pocket. “Could you at least take this?”

Leon turned around with his arms crossed and eyed the box. “Hmmm.” He wanted to take it, but he knows Stan hates waiting and long pauses so he decided to procrastinate.

“…Leon.”

Leon kept a smile inside to hide the little game he was playing on Stan. He thought about his actions. “Just a little longer…”

“Leeeooonnn…” Stan whined, the waiting was absolutely killing him.

Leon smiled when he heard his whine and took the box. He then slowly pulled the little pink ribbon off the box and slipped it into his pocket.

Stan moaned in distress from all the suspense.

This was causing Leon to make a little mocking laugh at how his trick was working. Being a little wicked was one of his quirks. He opened the box and stared at the present his face purposely expressionless to drive Stan crazy with the suspense. He pulled the bracelet out of the box and put the box in a free pocket. He examined the bracelet.

It was stringed together by a silver chain with pink and red jewelry shaped like shark teeth hooked onto it in a pattern. A classier shark tooth bracelet.

“…I made it.” He mumbled out lowly, embarrassed.

“You know I really hate valentines day, right?”

Stan looked at him surprised and blushed nervously. “Oh, I didn’t…know that.”

“Doesn’t mean I don’t like the present though.” He slipped it on and looked at Stan. “Thank you for making me something, Stan.”

“Hah, told you.” Dimlos echoed in Stan’s mind smugly.

Stan shrugged off Dimlos for now and smiled at Leon. “Oh, that’s good!”
Stan picked up Leon still grinning, happy that all of his worrying and running around paid off.

Leon had wrapped an arm around Stan’s neck to support himself a little easier. “Just so you know, I’m not buying you anything or doing anything special for you today.”

“I don’t mind…” Stan whispered and kissed Leon.

Leon accepted it with a small smile and a light blush.

“Fufufu…” Chal sniggered, getting ready to tease Leon again.

Leon used his free hand to punch the silver orb on Chaltier…hard.

“Ow!”

Chal , three. Leon one. But oh well, he got a score at least.

~End~
--------------

YAY finished!!

Nooootes...

The song Chal was singing was Sora mimi cake from Azumanga daioh. I just used random pieces of the lyrics and changed the wording around a bit.

And the "Cunno Pnu"=Al bhed. I WAS aiming for Melnics giving its tales related...but I suck at Melnics and had to go with Al bhed instead biggrin ;

and also~

Thanks for reading <3

I didn't read it.

I just wanted to say the title makes me cringe. Every time it pops up in my mind I want to get out the Stahn doll Barbatos gave me and beat the crap out of it so I can have my Cherry Kool-Aid.

I still need to write that Xmas fic.
