secondlina mentioned in her post, she did her comic based off a fic I wrote a couple years ago.
Well ... so as the cycle goes ... fic leads to comic. And comic inspires the following fic ...
Title: "Recalling Things That Other People Have Desired," part of the "52 Flavours: The Sorceress and the Swordsman" compilation
Pairing/Characters: Lina/Gourry, Amelia, Zelgadiss, Pokota
Fandom: Slayers
Disclaimer: Slayers doesn't belong to me, but to Hajime Kanzaka and Rui Araizumi. I'm just borrowing the characters for awhile. You MUST have read the comic referred to in order to get what's going on here. Oh, and it's definitely rated PG-13.
Lina stormed out of the inn, muttering beneath her breath the entire time about stupid jellyfish and their inability to keep focused on a situation. They needed to search for this jar and it was impossible to do so when certain members of the party couldn't keep their brains on the task at hand.
She whirled around to face Amelia and Pokota, both whom had followed her out. "Why can't he ever pay attention to things?" Lina raged. She threw her hands in the air. "I think I spend more time catching Gourry up on what's going on than actually getting anything done! We need to be looking for the jar and he's off in la-la land again!"
Pokota nodded sagely, but Amelia had a slight smile on her face. She absently tapped her finger to her chin. "Gourry-san seemed like he was having a good daydream," she observed.
"Gourry can't seem to get his mind off of anything that doesn't involve food," Lina muttered with a huff.
Amelia thought of how embarrassed Gourry had looked and how he had refused to even move from the table after Lina had stormed out. "Did you ever think he might be daydreaming of you, Lina-san?"
That hit the mark. Lina's cheeks went scarlet and she gaped at Amelia for a full minute. "That's the most absurd idea you've come up with yet!" she sputtered.
"Maaaaaaybe." Amelia drawled out the word, pleased at Lina's bluster. "Maybe not."
Lina jabbed a finger in Amelia's face. "You read too many melodramas."
"Maaaaaybe," Amelia repeated and Lina shrieked with frustration. As she stomped down the street, Amelia smiled. "Maybe not."
From his perch atop Amelia's head, Pokota snorted. "She's never going to acknowledge her feelings, is she?"
-----
"Lina?"
She whirled around to see Gourry standing a few feet behind her, an unreadable expression on his face. They stared at each other for several minutes. She wasn't quite sure what was happening, but she did have the incredible need just to reach out and touch him.
So she did. She hesitantly approached him, looked up into his questioning eyes. Suddenly, she threw her arms around him. It seemed safe to do so at the moment. There was no one else around and so much had happened. Zuuma. Zanaffar. That moronic Kuppi. But they were still together, she and Gourry. Whatever feelings she ignored completely during the day she was managing to acknowledge now. It was almost like she was dreaming. Knowing her, she was dreaming.
Might as well enjoy the ride, Lina thought.
Gourry's arms tightened around her and they simply held onto each other. He was a good solid mass of man and surprisingly skinny once he shed his trademark armor. Not that he was a rail or anything. Years of travel and swordsmanship had toned his body, but he wasn't huge. Just very tall. Lina lifted her head, tilting back just far enough to brush Gourry's nose. He smiled and she found herself returning it.
Then he changed the angle of his head just slightly, his mouth covering hers in a kiss so gentle that she sighed into it. Her hands slipped from around his neck to cup his face as he did the same, moving her head into the right position to take the kiss deeper. His hands then smoothed down her arms and encircled her once more, pulling her flushed against him as he trailed kisses across her cheek then down the side of her neck. She closed her eyes, shuddering as he gently laved the skin covering the rapidly beating pulse in her neck. She pressed herself to him, delighting in the purely feminine power of knowing that a man wanted her and she had complete control over the situation.
"Gourry," Lina breathed as she broke the kiss, staring into his eyes for a moment, then down. Her eyes popped open wide. "Why are you suddenly naked?" she shrieked.
-----
"But, I'm not naked, Lina!"
Lina snapped back to reality so fast that for a good 30 seconds she had no clue where she was. Camping. They were camping. After Gourry and Zelgadiss had finally joined them, they had continued their journey but were forced to camp out for the night. She slowly surveyed the area as Gourry, Zelgadiss, Amelia, and Pokota gave her confused looks. She swallowed and found her eyes meeting Gourry's. They held a look of complete understanding, almost as if he had experienced the same thing.
Wait a minute.
Lina leaped to her feet. "You," she hissed at Gourry. "This is all your fault! Dil Brando!"
Gourry never had a chance. It was just powerful enough to make him go flying into the woods, screeching about the indignity of it all. Trembling with anger and suppressed desire, Lina let out a shriek and stomped off toward the nearby creek to splash some water on her face. Amelia scrambled to her feet, Pokota in her wake, calling out after Lina to wait.
"Well," Zelgadiss casually said aloud as Amelia and Pokota chased after Lina and a bedraggled Gourry dragged himself out of the woods. He helped himself to another cup of coffee. "I suppose it's time to lock those two in a closet." He took a slow sip of the brew and enjoyed the quiet while it lasted.
