Authors Notes

HUZZAH I'M NOT DEAD! It's been a long time guys, and I truly apologise. I have multiple exams up soon, I changed school, skipped an academic year, have to catch up and all…I know it's no excuse but PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

Also, big shout out to John 'Assasin' Felix who helped get me back on track too…He's an author on this site, he's new and he only released one work(a lemon) about an anime. I expect he will release more and I intend to help him.

He helped me out with this so I really want to thank him. And also, I can never forget all my loyal fans and reviewers and readers! You guys are the best~ you've been my driving force for so long~ I read all the reviews and saw the date…I'm SO SO SOOOOOO SORRRRRRYYYYYY! T_T

Well, enuff chatter, let's get back on track! I intend for this chapter to be not so up to my usual standards, bear with me please. And of course, please support my C2 community~ I'd love some reviews from my readers…How you feel, should I have stayed un-updating and not give false hope for early releases again? Or, are you guys actually happy to see me again?

Oh, and I was thinking of making a blog or twitter to update my storyworking status… And fate seems to be a bitch to me, they almost crashed my computer when I started writing this, and took about 10 minutes to fix the hang. Yeah.

V – Fate's Twisted Sense of Humour

'Hope's Perspective'

'Yeah…Why does this only, yet always happen to me? This all definitely started with that stupid accident on the train, it was of course a Harmless Accident, but because of it my life is just so… so unfair now…That train was cursed!'

I sigh and I writhe painfully on the floor.

About…15 or so minutes earlier

'Shit…Think, Estheim, Think!' I urge myself as I'm staring Claire in the face with my arms currently held down.

I sigh. 'Fate, you sure have such a fantastic, cruel yet so gosh darn stupid sense of humour…!' I whisper sharply to myself. Claire Cringed and I held back the urge to jerk up due to the shock.

Scope of the current situation? For some reason or another, Claire is all over me…LITERALLY. She's on top of me; hand over my arm and legs sprawled over mine in a rather…suggestive manner. And for another strange reason, her hands are pressuring mine so I can't get out from underneath her.

I sigh as I look left and right. I decide to just let events play out the way it will.

And that, was one of the worst decisions I had ever made…

After a while, while relaxing as much as I could under the circumstances, I could feel her moving. I don't know how it was possible, but she managed to toss and turn so much that we ended up in a...very awkward, compromising position. Her hands are now pressuring my legs and her legs doing the same to my hands, keeping them in place beside me.[1]

I could see the outline of her 'area' through her baggy pants…I quickly shut my eyes, but the sight of that was enough to set my body on overdrive. I could feel my pants getting much tighter, and I blushed furiously.

Then I tensed. Her sloppy style of sleeping caused her singlet to lower slightly, and I could see the thin strap looking things at the side of her shoulder. I could also feel something soft pushing against…'that place'.

I gasped and willed myself to calm down…To no avail. I cursed under my breath and fell back, defeated. My face was only inches away from her 'area', resisting temptation felt harder than it ever did before.

I sigh. I'd just die if Serah caught me like this, but I'd literally die if Claire woke up.

Apparently, Fate developed an even more twisted sense of humour. Because… Claire woke up.

I groaned and if my hands were free, I'd face palm myself. 'Maker, whoever you are up there who decides what happens...I FREAKING HATE YOU!' I shout inwardly.

"mmmhh…?"

Claire's face apparently hit something…

I lament the horrible fate that awaits me.

She turned around slowly and looked at me.

The sunlight that was shining through the window illuminated her figure; her mouth had some drool dripping from it and of course, her singlet fell off. The sight looked so erotic that it merely served to arouse me even more.

Her mouth slowly opened and more drool came out…But her eyes changed from Confusion, Scared and Panicked to that of Anger…Pure, unadulterated anger.

'Lightning's Perspective'

The first thing I saw when I woke up was a gigantic bulge of some sort, and I instantly jerked awake.

I screamed in terror as I recoiled, it was then I realised that I was drooling and that there was a light shining right in my face.

I hurriedly urged myself to regain my senses, and when I did…I saw feet, I saw feet right in front of me, and in front of that 'bulge'. I was shocked, but even more so that my singlet straps were by the side of my shoulders and that I was staring straight at…'that thing'.

I slowly cocked my head backwards, and there…Right behind the 'V' of my pants was him…That young man with silver hair. I was so shocked that I merely turned around slowly to get a good look…Then my singlet fell off.

His face changed into a deeper shade of red and his mouth was agape. I followed suit, and more drool came out of my mouth.

When I regained my sight moments later, I realised what had happened. [2]

Anger started taking over my body…And then…!

Back in the present time…

'Hope's Perspective'

'Which…Leads me to my current predicament.'

I sigh as I remember what happened. I continued to roll on the floor in pain and groaned as I felt my arousal returning.

30 minutes later

"Oh dear! Hope…What happened?" Serah inquired worriedly.

Snow was munching on his food greedily and Claire was merely sipping her soup.

Me, I was hunched over trying to hold in gasps of pain.

"No, no it's…nothing Serah." I smile at her with one eye closed in pain due to the action.

"Mebbeh Hshe Ahnd Shis Dghid…Something?"(Maybe he and sis did *gulp* something?) Snow said, pausing halfway to down his food.

Claire and I shared a look where we didn't understand what he said at all, but Serah looked shocked.

"Hope…Really? Oh…My….Gosh! Congratulations Hope!" Serah was jumping for joy.

I gave her a bewildered look, but later cringed in pain.

Snow laughed after swallowing his food.

"Judging by that, Sis must have been really rough last night, eh?" Snow winked.

I misinterpreted that.

"Yeah, she really is…Just wish she's go easy on the balls…"

I was, of course referring to her torture of…my circular, sensitive body part. But of course, misunderstandings are so frequent in this household.

Snow and Serah choked on their food and Claire looked away, blushing a little.

Snow finished coughing and asked excitedly,

"So, when's the wedding?"

…..

…..

30 minutes later

"Claire…you could have gone easy on him!" Serah sighed as the siren wailed in the distance.

Claire refused to look at her sister.

I just felt hopelessly awkward…Snow's misunderstanding was just too much for me to handle.

"Sorry to say, Serah…He got what he deserved." Lightning snapped.

She sighed and looked at me.

"Sorry about my sister, she's a little rough…." Serah trailed off, and then whispered in my ear.

"But that's probably because she likes y…."

As fast as Lightning, Claire clamped her hand on Serah's mouth.

She then dragged Serah into the kitchen where I could hear an argument going on.

I sigh and sit on the couch…

Sometime later

Claire came back, stood in front of me and kicked my leg.

"Ow! What the hell Claire! I was awake!" I shout in pain.

She was blushing and her mouth was trembling.

"Uh….Umm, Hope…Was it?" She stuttered.

I stare at her with a raised eyebrow, intrigued.

She waited for a while and, sensing no response, continued.

"U…Um, would you like to…Maybe…Go out tomorrow to go see the...the town?" She stuttered with her lips trembling slightly.

I scratched my head and smiled devilishly.

"Well, Problem is…I don't have a car. Maybe you could call a taxi for me?"

She cringed and stared me in the eyes…And then she slapped me.

She walked off trembling and with red cheeks as I rolled on the floor laughing.

She came back a while later… And threw her car keys at him.

"T-that should do…Right? Of course, it's my car so I'm going too!"

I smile warmly at her.

"Of course, dear!"

I ran upstairs and slammed the bedroom door, leaving a blushing Claire there with her mouth agape.

'Lightning's Perspective'

W-what? Did he just call me…Did he call me dear?

I looked toward the kitchen and found Serah giggling.

I face palm myself.

"I can't believe I accepted Serah's bait." I sigh.

Serah baited me by claiming I was afraid of men (except Snow)and dared me to invite him for a drive around town…But make It sound like a date. And stupidly enough, I accepted.

"Come on, your love is waiting for you in the bedroom! Psh, 'Dear'…Oh, Hope you joker, you…" Serah was laughing so hard she had to clutch her stomach and was on the verge of tipping over.

I trembled with humiliation.

"Okay, Hope Estheim…You just forfeited your life!"

I walked up the stairs and opened the door to my room.

"Oh, it sure took you a long time to get here, how about joining me in bed, dear?" Hope grinned.

I crawled over him and smiled cruelly. He smiled once more, but this one was strained and he was sweating a little.

"Uh…Claire?" He asked softly, fear in his voice evident.

My smile turned in to a wide grin, and I narrowed my eyes menacingly.

"Oh, the fun is only just beginning…Dear."

In the dark, stormy night…A man's scream could be heard for miles…

Authors Notes

[1] They're in the 69 position for anybody lost…

[2] Hey, here's a challenge. In the reviews, state to me that throughout the story, up until now how many 'Misunderstandings' did she have of Hope's Actions?

Haha, this is getting dangerously close to an M rating…But I won't stray there.

Mostly though, I tried (probably failed) to make this chapter a little humorous with some touches of suggestive content here and there. Anyway, Please Review and Let me know what you think! Personally, I liked the ending the most out of the whole content!
