Final Fantasy IX, Eiko/Vivi, awkwardness
He never once imagined that he would be alone with Eiko. Not like this, anyway; not when the two of them being alone leads to Eiko trying to kiss him and settling for a hug when she couldn't find his lips, and not when that hug somehow ends with him wearing significantly less clothing. He asks her why, and she shrugs and says she's curious, she doesn't know what a Black Mage looks like, really. And then she looks at him more seriously and says she thinks he's cute and she likes him, but she doesn't know what to do with him, and won't he show her?
They're in a room in the palace in Alexandria, and it seems an amusing coincidence that there happens to be a large, soft bed nearby, and that Eiko is dragging Vivi toward it. Alright, the latter is not so much a coincidence. Soon they both sit in the middle of the bed, Vivi perplexed and Eiko playful and both more naked than they really should be, and Eiko kisses Vivi on the part of his face where his lips should be and doesn't seem to care whether his lips are really there. And Vivi sighs because it feels nice, and he's surprised and confused and never expected this, but he isn't about to complain.
His hands move across her skin, cautious at first, then more confident, and lower, and she nods encouragingly. And he knows that some people would say this is wrong, they're just kids, they shouldn't be doing things like this-- but aren't they both older than most people their ages?
Even if people think it's wrong, when he sees the look on Eiko's face as he touches her between her legs, he thinks it can't be wrong; anything that feels this good and makes him this happy can't be wrong, can it?
And he smiles, though he doesn't think Eiko notices, because humans never can tell when he's smiling. But to his surprise, she tells him that she's happy, and she says that he looks happy, too.

Vivi opens his eyes, and he's in a tent and not a nice bed, and Eiko is there, but she isn't touching him. He watches her for a moment, laying there asleep with a small smile on her face, and wonders if her dreams are anything like his.
