Encanto

Pairings as follows: Snow x Serah, Lightning x Fang, Hope x Vanille. I'll just warn you now; there is a lot of smut in this story (but nothing horribly graphic, just graphic enough) but you have been WARNED. Don't read if don't like the pairings!

The events of this story don't truly have a timeline. I decided to write this because I liked the idea and I wanted to go with it so please don't be overly critical of the indefinite timeline. I hope you enjoy!

I don't own Final Fantasy, it belongs to Square Enix

"I can remember this place. It's been a long time but it hasn't changed at all." Fang said gazing out the massive window of what was presumably a living room. Vanille laughed and ran over to where Fang was standing.

"It's just great, Fang! It's just like old times when we came here in the summer!" Vanille said excitedly. Lightning joined Fang by the window.

"This view is spectacular." Lightning said taking in the land before her. The rolling hills went on as far as the eye could see; lush vegetation and a flowing stream dotted the landscape.

"Well, it's time for me to get the bar going. We can drink outside it's so pleasant. Where's Hope?" Fang asked turning her back to the window.

"He was unpacking upstairs. He should be down here soon." Vanille said plopping herself on the sectional sofa in front of a massive fireplace. Lightning shifted her gaze to the stairs of this tranquil estate only to see Snow. Serah would likely be trailing close behind.

"Hey, will you come over here and help me?" Fang asked of Snow.

"Sure, what are you doing exactly?" Snow asked her joining Fang in the spacious kitchen. Sure enough, like clockwork Serah appeared on the stairs. Once in the living room, she joined Lightning by the window.

"Did you and Snow get unpacked?" Lightning asked.

"Yeah, we did. Our room is so nice!" Serah told her.

"Mine too. It's beside Fang's. There is a whirlpool bath in there and I can't wait to try it out later." Lightning said. Serah smiled.

"Serah, baby…what are you drinking?" Snow asked her. Serah thought about that a moment.

"What are you drinking?" Serah asked Lightning. Lightning shrugged her shoulders.

"Uhh, wine." Lightning said.

"I'll start with wine." Serah answered.

"That's easy enough." Fang said reaching over her head for wine goblets.

"I'll start with that too then. I drink what Serah drinks." Snow told Fang. Fang rolled her eyes.

"You're such a sap. I would like to have known you before you were in love. Just too see if you were this pathetic." Fang said smiling.

"Oh yeah? Well, I would like to know what you would be like if you were a little less crass." Snow said teasing her.

"Hope! Come join us! Did you get unpacked?" Vanille asked seeing Hope come down the stairs. His room was beside Snow and Serah's.

"I finally did, yes. Thank you." Hope said sitting on the hearth of the fireplace across the room from Vanille.

"So, are we seriously going to be the ones to give an almost 16-year-old alcohol? Doesn't this make us…I don't know…irresponsible or something?" Fang asked as Snow handed her a pitcher full of ice. Hope laughed.

"It's okay, Fang. It's my choice to drink with you. I won't do anything stupid I promise." Hope reassured her.

"Yeah, that's what you think! Then all of a sudden it's 1:00 in the morning and you're trying to read a shuttle route map upside down in the middle of Bodhum and Serah's going right along with it." Snow said. Serah laughed.

"That was so funny when you tried to tip the shuttle driver with a credit card." Serah said laughing.

"Something tells me I'm glad I wasn't involved in that night." Lightning said moving over to the couch beside Vanille.

"Be very glad. We got on the shuttle and had no destination in mind at all. I bet we rode that thing for two hours before finally getting off at the esplanade. But oh my god did we have a great conversation." Snow said.

"Here's your first test. What are you drinking?" Fang asked an innocent Hope.

"Can I look at everything?" Hope asked. Snow and Fang both laughed.

"Yes, get over here. I'll make some suggestions for you." Snow said remembering that everyone has to start somewhere when they take their first drink. "I cannot believe I'm actually going to let you drink." Snow said throwing an arm around Hope as he joined Snow and Fang in the kitchen.

"So, Vanille how did you and Fang come to know about this place?" Serah asked.

"We learned of it several years ago and we came here one summer and fell in love with it." Vanille said. "It's a cleverly kept secret. Some call this a resort, like your resort town of Bodhum but me and Fang call this is a secluded and charming paradise." Vanille laughed and looked at Hope as Snow and Fang educated him. "I had my first drink here. I had a lot of firsts here." Vanille laughed again and didn't elaborate on that comment.

"It's too bad Sazh couldn't join us. He's so much fun. The poor guy deserves a break now and then." Fang said.

"Alright, I decided to drink the rum." Hope said returning to the living room.

"You're seriously going to let him drink rum?" Lightning asked laughing.

"Fang's going to make it weak and he has a very strict three drink limit." Snow said. Hope laughed at the limit Snow had set for him. It was actually a very good idea. Snow knew how to take care of the kid and Fang thought this to be a reasonable limit for Hope.

"Vanille, you haven't told me what you're drinking yet." Fang said. "Snow, blend this and this with that ice."

"Something fruity, Fang!" Vanille said excitedly.

"Lightweight…every time." Fang mumbled as she smiled. "Come on drink something harder with me Snow! Don't start with wine just because Serah is!" Fang encouraged Snow.

"You are drinking scotch! I hate scotch!" Snow told her.

"So, drink something else but not wine!" Fang insisted.

"I will later but not now." Snow said.

"You are such a frustrating person!" Fang said shaking her head as Snow blended whatever mixture Fang had made. Fang wiped her hands off and took a mixture of rum and lime soda to Hope. "Alright, here you go. Take a sip of this and tell me what you think." Fang said.

"Well, it's not like I have a frame of reference." Hope said laughing.

"True. Hold on let me sit and watch you." Fang said excitedly. Serah, Vanille and Lightning all leaned in to watch this moment.

"Wait….I'm getting my camera." Serah said running off to dig through her purse that was sitting near the door. Vanille laughed.

"I have to say, I would kind of like to remember this but I also feel guilty. Hope your dad would kill every one of us." Lightning said laughing.

"I bet he wouldn't." Hope said.

"Well, hold on. Since this is an epic moment and all I'm not going to pour this wine yet." Snow said leaving the kitchen and joining everyone else in the living room.

"Okay, now you can try it." Fang said. Serah got her camera ready as Hope examined what Fang had stuck in his hand. Vanille cheered as Hope took the first drink. Serah had this moment captured for years to come.

"Now I'm going to take your picture with Fang." Serah said.

"It's um…it's…well it's not what I expected but its alcohol, right?" Hope said laughing.

"Awww, you'll get used to it sweetie now smile with me for Serah." Fang said.

"You know, that camera is going to likely incriminate every one of us later. We'll probably have to destroy it when we leave here." Snow said.

"Now Hope, you drink that slowly while Snow and I get everything else ready." Fang instructed. Snow took a glass of wine to Lightning.

"Here's for you 'sis." He said. Lightning smiled.

"I'm not your sister but thanks." She said.

"Fruity…just the way you like it, Vanille. Or so, Fang says." Snow said giving something peach colored to Vanille. She smelled it.

"It is just the way I like it! Vanille said. Snow brought Serah her wine glass and set the bottle on the table in front of the couch. He would pour his glass when Fang was done ordering him around. Serah read the bottle to see what kind of wine it was.

"Fang, I'm putting this in the freezer." Snow said referring to a bottle of warm crème liqueur.

"That's fine whatever you want to do." Fang said swirling a spoon in her glass.

"Are you ready yet? I'm taking this empty glass and leaving you behind." Snow said to Fang. He did exactly that trading places with Serah in the chair beside the couch. She sat on the arm of the chair.

"Don't rush me! I'll be done in a minute." Fang insisted as Snow left her on her own in the kitchen. Once she had finally finished stirring her drink she sat on the couch between Vanille and Lightning. "Now, things can really get started." Fang said raising her glass even though Hope had 'officially' started the evening off. "The second round tonight will be outside." Fang said. It was a good idea. It was a marvelous evening and it had only just begun.

"Excellent wine." Lightning said.

"It really is." Serah agreed.

"You know what we should do? We should call Sazh later. Whoever is the drunkest in one hour calls Sazh." Snow said.

"That will be Hope since this is his first time." Fang said raising her eyebrows and her glass.

"No, it will be Vanille. She'll be the one to call him." Serah said.

"I won't deny that. There's a chance it will be me." Vanille said. It was true everyone here knew their limit except Hope so it would be interesting to see how this night unfolded.
