I feel like I've known this guy forever, actually for as long as I can remember. He's always been around, and since he's not always too busy, I'm not always too lonely. Of course, I'd never openly admit it, I have a feeling he knows I enjoy his company. Tidus has always been the opposite of me; active, excited, and always has that stupid grin plastered on his face. I'm different, unable to pull myself into an activity without having to fight about it first, stoic, and a bit more, let's say "grouchy." He thinks it's funny though, and continues to poke, prod, and pester me. Yeah, he's different alright. He's a famous Blitzball player, and I'm just Squall Leonhart.
"Hey, Squall?" The blonde murmured as he lay on the floor of the living room, staring up at the TV. A commercial for dog food was on, so it was some sappy woman speaking about "the best for her dog." I finally blinked and tuned back in to the blonde, who was staring at me. I let out a slight hum in response.
"Mh?" Tidus rolled on his back and then onto his side and onto his back again. It was obvious that he was full of energy, and now he needed some way to let it out.
"I'm bored, can we do something else?" The question was bound to pop up, since we had been watching TV almost all morning. Actually, I had been watching TV all morning, he had been asleep most of it. I sighed and reached for the remote.
"Alright, then what do you want to do?" The question I both dreaded and adored to ask him. I'd been visiting Besaid for about three days already, and every time Tidus came up with something new to do. It was the same thing when he visited me. I did a lot more when Tidus was around actually, mostly because he'd force me to.
"We should… Go ride chocobos!" His blue eyes gave off this spark of pure excitement as he sat up. I shook my head, sighing. The thought of riding chocobos was new to me.
"I don't know, maybe we should just go to the beach, instead." As soon as the comment was made Tidus stood up, and walking over. I stared at him with a stoic expression as his palm smacked my forehead. I hissed and pulled his hand away.
"Hey! What the hell was that-" he stopped me right there and with that stupid grin plastered on his face, and my hand clamped around his wrist he chuckles and shakes his head.
"See it hurts doesn't it? Stings, right? Is the beach out of the question?" I sighed, remembering a few days ago we went to the beach and I got a nasty sun burn. Now that Tidus had reminded me, it stung and I had a white blotch on my face from where his palm hit me. For a moment there was only silence, then, the blonde started chuckling. I sighed and shoved him aside, standing to use the restroom. He had won, and before shutting the door behind me I turned and called back to him.
"Fine, we'll go chocobo riding!"
