~Airships are Meant to Fly~ ~Vaan x Reader One-shot~

     She sits down beside him and looks around the room, taking in the environment when her eyes curiously settle on the airship manual by Vaan's feet. "Building an Airship for Dummies," she reads picking up the book. "Oh that," he laugh timidly, awkwardly scratching the back of his blonde head. "I found that in one of my moving boxes I unpacked a couple hours ago and wanted to see what it said."She raises an eyebrow and looks at him skeptically. "I think that the whole idea of travelling and airships is just so intriguing. I've wanted to travel since I was a little girl." She says with a small smile lighting her features. He stares at her shocked, then speaks. "I know how you feel. It's a dream of mine. Scratch that, a goal. One of these days I'll fly an airship of my own. I'll be a sky pirate, free to go where I will." His voice dripping hopeful determination at the idea, his eyes looking far off into his vision. "All this coming from a guy who just found the book in a box? Wow, you think fast!" She waves her hand fluidly in front of his face, snapping him out of his trance. "Well, since we both basically have the same dream, maybe we can travel together sometime."She beams at him, a distinct twinkle in her eyes. The boy finds himself smiling too. He also finds that he really, really likes seeing this girl smile. He really likes her in general. "I'd like that."

Current time:   A harsh pounding on the door rouses the blonde boy inside from his nap on the couch. A grin spreads across his face as pushes himself up and off of the couch. "Vaan! Open up!" He hears a feminine voice yell from the other side, accompanied by more of the ruthless knocking. His eyes light up and his grin grows wider. He swiftly searches the room for anything out of place. The living room is much more decorative than it was the first time they met. Deciding that nothing was disorganized, he speedily steps to the front door.

     "[Name]! How are you? Oh, you got a haircut? It looks cute!" He merrily chimes after opening the door to reveal her irritated form. Her cheeks bloom red, but the mad look on her face doesn't drop. "Don't try distracting me, Vaan. I know you took my bird bath. Give it back!" His face shows mock hurt as he holds a hand over his heart. "I'm offended that you assume outright that I stole it. You know, you should really-""VAAN!" "Alright, alright! I'm sorry. Come on inside and I'll go get it." He states, stepping to the side to allow her entrance to the room. She walks in slowly looking around. "I don't understand why you keep on doing this. This is the fifth time you've taken something of mine this month! It's starting to get old."

     I only do it to see you, he thinks to himself sadly. You're always so busy. We never hang out like we used to. "Vaan? Are you listening?" She says snapping her fingers to try and get his attention. "Yeah... just follow me to the yard where I left it." He says a bit deflated, moving to the sliding glass door leading to his small backyard. Her gaze softens. "Hey," She says gently stepping in front of him to stop him from progressing any further to the destination. "Are you okay? I'm sorry if I yelled, it's just that this is happening too often for my liking. I don't exactly like finding my things gone when I get home, you know what I mean?" He nods in response. "Why do you take my stuff anyway? You never took anything until six weeks ago." He looks around anxiously, both hands behind his head. "If I tell you, do you promise not to hate me?" She blinks surprise evident in her facial features. "Hate you? I could never hate you. Be annoyed with you, yes. But hate you? I don't think that is physically possible. You're too much of a likeable person." A sigh of relief escapes his lips at this and his tensed body relaxes."The truth is... You're always so busy. This seemed like the only way to see you, honestly. I miss talking with you...I miss you." He mumbles the last part so quietly that she can't quite catch it. "Oh, well I'm glad you told me. I'll try to visit more often, okay?" She smiles warmly at him. He beams. "Awesome. I'll go get the bird bath. Be right back."

     He leaves her in the living room and jogs out the sliding glass door and to the back left corner of the yard where he stops beside the bird bath. A couple yards to the right of the bath, he sees the small two-person airship he's been constructing since he met [Name] that first day. He smirks at the progress he's made. It wouldn't be long until it was completely finished and functioning correctly. Soon we can travel together... Just like we said we would.

Why hello there! Number XV here! I apologize if Vaan is really OOC here. I haven't actually ever played FFXII, so I made this based on what I got off of a Wikia article on Vaan. Please tell me whether or not he was if you can! I would just like to thank all that decide to spend their time reading this. It really means a lot to me. And I will hopefully be writing more one shots soon, if I get some nice feedback on this one. Thank you again!*
