Cute BalVaan Things #38393
-balthier piercing vaan’s ear (“IS IT GOING TO HURT” “Vaan you survived accepting Ultima it’s gonna be fine” “YOU’RE DUPPOSED T SAY IT’S NOT GONNA HURT”)
-vaan falling asleep on bal’s shoulder while they’re up late pouring over an old tattered treasure map
-balthier with all his frippery carefully crafting a silhouette with his clothing that belies his narrow shoulders , and vaan having broad shoulders and spooning bal at night easily
-drunk vaan dragging balthier through the bazaar after midnight to get drunk munchies and then making Bal carry him back to the Strahl (“YOU CARRIED ME BEFORE” “you’re heavier now…” )
-stargazing. ..star.gazing. heads touching and lying on grass on a chilly night
-vaan from his seat behind fran watching balthier maneuver the controls and yoke of the strahl and memorizing everything …or trying to even though none of it makes sense for a long while
-vaan fastening the clips of balthier’s vest in the morning as they sit on the edge of the bed together
-balthier hating the concept of naps but siestas are a total thing in rabanastre so he eventually wrangles balthier into bed mid day to hold him and balthier eventually falling asleep much to his own horror
-after a long day balthier just collapsing into bed and vaan tracing the lines under his shoulder blades where wings would be, until balthier falls asleep
– vaan busy all day reading airship theory and old blueprints and fiddling with glossair ring prototypes until he falls asleep with scattered pages all over the floor and bal carrying him to bed
-bath time!!! Bath time. Scrub the sandy desert boy. (My headcanon is also Vaan loves baths so this is gr8)
-vaan as a competent healer soothing balthier’s powder burns from a faulty gun while fran concocts a salve
– balthier covering a napping vaan in little treasures and jewels
-vaan drawing shit on a napping balthiers face
-balthier flinging vaan off a balfonheim dock into the water while wearing a stupid mustache on his face
