Cid was interrupted

Cid checked over his body once more, making sure nothing appeared suspicious before leaving. It felt good being able to walk around again, he hadn’t been bed ridden for long but it had still been grating for him. He wanted to explore and see what he had missed when he was out in the medical bay. He looked around, unaware that he had left in just underwear. Gav approached him, confused by his appearance.

“Tarji? What are you doing dressed like that?” he asked.

“What do you mean?” Cid responded.

“Well, it’s not safe to walk around without some armor. You know this” Gav said awkwardly.

“Ah…” Cid paused for a moment.

He hadn’t thought about that. Of course, he could do that in his body. No one would think he wasn’t protected having Ramuh in his body. He hadn’t thought about this when he had left the medical bay without Tarji’s usual attire.

“I simply forgot, nothing more to it” he admitted.

Gav didn’t appear suspicious, not that he even could. Cid doubted anyone would have guessed his situation.

“Oh, then carry on,” Gav nodded.

Tarji was known for being no nonsense attitude and being aware of her actions. Gav wasn’t about to question why she was underdressed. Cid was thankful that the man wasn’t about to ask him anymore questions. He didn’t think he could have figured out a way to not giveaway he wasn’t really her. As Gav left, he started to think about the situation more.

He should at least try to make sure he could return to his body at least. Should he not be able to go back, then it would prove to be a problem. He hurried back to the medical bay, thankful to see his body was still **** in the bed. He began to wonder if Tarji was in his body or still in her own. Perhaps her conscious was sleeping in the back of him mind? Either way, he needed to try to return to his body.

Cid tried to remember the last thing he had seen before he had changed bodies. They had only touched physically. Cid looked at Tarji’s hand, could it really be that simple? It was worth a shot at least. He reached for his own hand, tensing up as he expected another seizure to shake him. Instead, he felt nothing as he touched his own hand. Cid sighed in relief, glad that he wasn’t wracked with any symptoms. But then his vision began to grow hazy and he blacked out.

This time, Cid awoke in his own body. He felt heavy and groggy, like he had been asleep for days. He sat up, looking at his bed. He wasn’t alone after all. Draped across his legs was a half naked Tarji. Oh right, he had done a bit of admiring while in her body. He felt a bit guilty about it now but not enough to do anything about it. Not that he even could to begin with. Cid heard her groan, she was waking up!

He relaxed, it was likely she wouldn’t have guessed he had done anything. He simply watched, seeing her tired expression turn to one of worry.

“Cid? Cid! Are you alright?” she asked.

“I’m as good as I can be,” he said.
