Title: Flurry
Author: twilightsrain/edenbound (ficjournal)
Fandom: Final Fantasy X-2
Pairing: Gippal/Baralai
Theme: #8 Bloodlust
Rating: PG13
Summary: Gippal's reaction to Baralai being wounded.
Seeing Baralai laying on the ground was pretty much all it took. Even without the spreading red stain and Baralai's pained cry just before he fell. Gippal kissed rationality goodbye; forget using a potion on Baralai, forget alerting the others, too.
"Oui vilgan," he hissed at the monster, and he dropped his machina weapon and pummelled the thing with his fists, the heavy metal on his gloves adding a bite to his punches. He wanted to kill the fucking thing, but more than that, he wanted to make it suffer, wanted to make it hurt before it let loose its flurry of pyreflies.
"Gippal!"
He ignored Paine. He ignored the sphere recorder no doubt watching his almost berserker fighting. He just beat the crap out of that monster.
It'd hurt his 'Lai. And that was all that mattered.
And then when the thing did die, when Nooj pulled him back with a surprisingly calming touch, and he caught his breath, he wondered what the fuck he'd been doing. Why he'd lashed out like that. And then he turned to 'Lai, all bloodsoaked and sickly looking, and felt so guilty for leaving him laying there to bleed.
He got to Baralai before even Paine did, grabbing an Al Bhed potion and giving it to Baralai, cradling him in his arms, feeling sick to his stomach.
