Title: Forever a Government Scientist's Son
Fandom: FFXII:OGC
Characters: Balthier, Ashe, Al Cid, (Fran)
Rating: PG
Prompt: 95:Jealousy
Summary: Meeting with Al Cid in Balfonheim reminds Balthier of everything he hated when growing up in Archades.
The Rozarrian prince is far too confident, too certain that others will play their parts in his tactical game. Words dripping with pretense. Balthier's former life among posturing sons of nobility had sent a government scientist's son to forsake Tsnoble's terraced plazas and granite facades.
Now this fustilarian's lips brush against Ashe's hand. Worse, the Princess is falling for it. Balthier groans with sickness, although not for the reason Fran is certainly thinking.
Balthier hates himself, hates every moment since the Phon Coast, since he dared take serious his flirtations with Ashe. She's a royal princess, dammit. A royal princess.
