8th Focus // [Dream]

[crystal_stasis]

[You see Serah dreaming about her life before things got hectic. She was to meet up with Snow, her boyfriend at the time. She finally met him in the usual spot they went to, smiling and waving to him as she noticed him looking up into the sky. She ran up to him, embracing him in a hug. He seemed to snap out of some daze he was in, warmly smiling back to her as he held her close.]

I'm sorry. I had to run a few errands. I've been thinking about what to get for Lightning's birthday. She's so hard to shop for, you know?

It's fine, I haven't been waiting long. Did you think of anything?

No, nothing...

[It went silent for a while, but it wasn't a bad thing. Snow finally spoke up]

Serah... I want to introduce myself to your sister.

[She looked at him like he was out of his mind. She had nothing against the idea, personally. Not only that, she had actually thought about it before. But it was a simple answer that always turned it down. Lightning didn't like Snow as it was. So, if he were to introduce himself to her as her boyfriend, well.... Things could get pretty bad. She wanted to turn it down, for Snow's sake, but his look he gave was stubborn. She finally gave in.]

I'm not sure how she'll take it but... we can still catch her before she leaves.

[So they went to her home, finding Lightning just about to leave. Lightning gave her sister a vacent look, but you can tell she acknowledged her was a, 'nice to see you' look. Snow, however, it was obvious that Lightning didn't like him that well. Serah sighed, wondering if this was all going to work out. Snow didn't seem to notice Lightning's glare towards him, but Serah did. Snow was just happy to meet the older sister of his lover.]

Ah, Lightning, right? Serah's said so much about you. I'm her boyfriend, Sn-

I know who you are. Snow... Leader of that rowdy group named NORA, am I correct?

Yes, that's right... but...

But nothing. It's reckless and stupid. NORA's nothing but hunting down weak monsters and acting like heroes. Completely irresponsible.

Lightning, please...

[Lightning was going to continue, but she stopped when she heard Serah ask her to stop. She just sighed as Serah had to go get something. Lightning took advantage of the time alone with Snow.]

So, you're dating Serah...?

Yeah, it's great is-

Break up with her.

[Snow was astonished by her, but just laughed it off.]

Stop Joking. I would never. Serah's the most important person in my life. There's no way I'm going to break up with her.

[Lightning was about to argue back, but Serah came back. She also took that to her advantage, exiting without a word, shaking her head. Snow shrugged, wrapping his arm around her neck.]

Well, I think that went pretty well.

[Serah just smiled, shaking her head. They walked out of the house and out and about.]

[Ok, so... this looks funky but >_> the italisized is Snow, the Italisized and underlined is Lightning.]
