Ooh ooh I've got one!! So - we know Finral loves flirting with the ladies right? Wellll, what if Zora saw him doing that and got jealous, and was all "you just want attention don't you? Well I'll give you attention!" And you know...shenanigans ensue 👀👀👀
(Headcanons to Dabbles: OFFICIALLY CLOSED)
GAH- *nuclear explosion clouds* OH MY- ZORAFIN!!! Oh my God I can't- I need to leave- I have to go- I *gathers up the remains of my post-exploded heart and puts them in a suitcase* I gotta GO! This- this is too good holy crap- *falls down stairs and lands back before you* FRIEND! You don't even realize how this hc needed a dabble- I love it so so much!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write my indulgences! I've gotcha covered :D
“Heeee, another bust.” Finral sighed in acceptance as he returned to the Bull’s Base- his ego a little bruised. “Well- that’s just the way of the world.”
“Hm.” The sudden noise made him jump out of his skin, twisting to find none other than Zora Ideale before him. “Zora! Hey..what’s up?” Maybe he was seeing things, but something in the redhead’s expression seemed…off. Irritated mayhaps?
“You’ve been out again; flirting with everything in a skirt as usual.” Finral stiffened, shame touching the back of his neck as he looked away. “I take it you’ve failed to gain their favor once more?”
“I erm…well- hey, what I do in my spare time is my business!” Finral glared back, his guilt of looking pitiful before the newest rookie turning into anger. “Why does it matter to you, anyway? I’m sure if you went out and flirted, the ladies would be all over you!”
“Not interested. Do you truly only do this for attention?” He slid off the wall, slowly approaching the shorter man with nearly unreadable eyes. Finral felt his heart rate accelerate as he took a step back, finding only the wall. “Or is your target something else? Rather…someone else?”
Damn him and his stupid height and blue eyes and raspy voice that made Finral’s toes curl and his heart do funny things! He could easily open up a portal and flee, but that felt like weakness. For whatever reason, he didn’t want Zora to view him like that. “And if it was? Why would it matter to you?” He raised his chin, briefly forgetting how to breathe when Zora leaned in. God, he even smelled good.
“If that’s all you wanted, let me give you all the attention you desire.”
Huh? Finral felt his eyes widen when Zora suddenly grinned. Ah nuts- he should have used the por-
“AHH! Ahehahahahhahaa, nhoohohoohohoho!” Finral broke into giggles, immediately disarmed as the redhead dug into his sides, pinching and prodding at the ticklish skin. “Zohoohohora, eahhahahahahahha!”
“What? This is what you wanted, right? My attention?” Zora teased in his neck, snickering as Finral shoved at his shoulders and chest with half-hearted pushes. “You’re not denying it, so it must be true.”
“Shuuhuhut uhuhuhup! Gheahhahha- yohohohu sohohoohund soohohohoh jehehahahhaalous rihhihihihght nohohohoow!”
“Maybe I was.” Finral would have been gaping at the truth in those words if Zora hadn’t moved his hands to his armpits, making him scream and fall to the floor like a ragdoll. “Can’t say I like watching you waste all those good lines on the ladies. The boring ones, maybe.”
“ZOHOHOORA!” Finral cackled, rolling this way and that in a poor attempt to dislodge the other’s hands. “COOHOHOME OOHOHON, LEHEHEHET MEEHEHE UUHUHUP!”
“Hmm…alright.” Zora stopped, placing both hands on each side of Finral’s head as he looked down at his gasping expression. “Heh, cute. I should do that more often.”
“Jeheherk.” Finral huffed, shoving at his chest lightly as the other laughed. “You..you really were jealous? Why?” He didn’t know why, but Zora’s earlier comments made him strangely happy.
Zora looked a bit disgruntled, as if Finral was just close enough to the answer but not quite hitting it. “Geez, you’re dense.” Before he could argue back, Zora pulled down his mask and kissed him, shutting off Finral’s brain to anything but. “Get it now?”
Finral was dazed, cheeks on fire and heart about to burst out of his chest. He stared back at Zora’s ocean blue gaze, lips on fire. “No.” The redhead seemed shocked. “I think I need another to be sure.”
Zora went from stupefied to laughing, leaning down and kissing him again and again until Finral finally got it.
