Title: Force Your Way
Author: dramatorama
Fandom: FFVIII
Pairing: Quistis/Xu
Rating: PG
Prompt: battle
The Galbadians are everywhere, swarming over the quad. She knows Quistis can't see her - her eyes have gone strange again, and she's glowing the same gold as her hair. All Xu can do is point her in the right direction and hope that the Limit Break hits an enemy. She handles her roughly, a hand on her stomach to hold her up. In other circumstances, this would send Xu crazy with frustration. But this is war, and the rules are different.
Later, after the fighting, they are off watch and she is drifting into sleep when she feels Quistis' hands close around her wrists and grab. Despite the exhaustion, Xu is ready for another battle.
