Just in case.. I dont OWN ANYTHING! XD Not the FFX, not the songs lyrics ...
A dream is a dream
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
I can hear you ..
I woke up to sound of the falling rain. After few minutes of silence, Ive finally opened my eyes. It was dark. Not a single sign of sunlight. Complete darkness. I couldnt even see my own hand . It scared me a little. Im not sure why, but it did.
Attempts to understand if it was morning already or not - failed. "Ok, just forget about it then," I spoke to myself. "Just stand up and go outside to see, morning or not. Boy. I sure can be stupid sometimes." When I tried to find a way to get off the bed, my hand touched something. Or was it, SOMEONE ..? I spent about 3 minutes trying to figure out what the f'ck? After FINALLY realizing that it was someone, I didnt want to think about WHO it was. It was the strong, yet relaxed body of a man.
"OMG! Shit! Its Auron! " I felt almost like the lightning had just struck me. " Wha--? " I havent been in such confusion for about a good 2 years, thats for sure! Then another surprise appeared before me.. I was naked , and so was he!
"No! This cannot be happening!" My mind screamed it out loud. "What in the name of Spira! " I could feel my face turning red, dammit. "Think Rikku, THINK! WHAT happened yesterday!" The situation was TOTALLY unamusing, but I heard someone chuckling lowly. It was Auron. Smiling at me, he must've figured out why I was acting like this.
"You dont remember, do you?" he asked softly. "Im not surprised, to be honest. We - you and I - drank WAAAAY too much yesterday." A slight smile appered on his face.
I dont know how I knew that, since it was dark as Hell, but I felt that smile, which was adressed to me...
Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart
I could see a place that's something like this
Every now and then I don't know what to do
Still I know that I can never go back ..
"… Rikku …" Someone was calling me. "Rikku."
I opened my eyes quickly. It was Auron. I smiled gently at him, after remembering last night. I must admit, I WAS confused, but still … It felt like Heaven yesterday - er, today. His lips, his touch, his smell, his body - EVERYTHING. So gentle. It felt like we had known each other for eternity…
"Auron." I called out to him.
He just looked at me, staying silent.
"Thank you…"
"For what?" he asked, obviously shocked. It was seen in his eye.
"For tonight, you silly!" I smiled at him.
Then it was my turn to be shocked.
"Did lightning strike your head that badly!"
"Wha--?"
"You felt asleep here, near Yuna's room." He said it coldly, and walked off somewhere, not even interested in me or my … dream?
But the things I've seen in those hazy dreams
Can't compare to what I'm seeing now
Everything's so different
That it brings me to my knees
And though I know the world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give in to it
Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go ..
Still shocked, I felt like Id lost something. My peace of mind, maybe? Or maybe .. a piece of my heart?
I stood up, even though I was really depressed. "Heck! Why am I feeling this way!" I was getting angry at myself. "A Dream is a dream. Nothing I can change about that … Not very comforting, eh..?" That was my last thought, before Yunie called out to me...
Her fragile figure came close to me. I saw her smile. I just … I wish I could see her smiling forever. But beneath that fake, but still pure and comforting smile, there was nothing but sadness. I felt it. Not sure what I was thinking at that moment, I simply kissed her. Short and light, sister-like kiss.. She looked at me, surprised. "Heh he hehehhe he … he. Just dont ask Yunie, just dont ask!" With those words, I ran out of the Inn.
There he was, Sir Auron, the Legendary Gurdian, standing on top of the hill, looking at the sun. The cool breeze of Mi'ihen Highroad in the early morning was wonderful. My mind started to spin with strange thoughts, once I placed my eyes on that tall, strong, calm, handsome-- whoa! "Stop that, Rikku!" I could feel my cheecks turning a bit red. "It was JUST A DREAM ... Forget about it! I know you can …"
I don't plan on looking back on my old life
I don't ever plan to rely on you
Even if by chance everything should go wrong
You'd come anyway and try to save me.
I came up to the hill where Auro-- Sir Auron was standing.
"What ya up to?" I said happily, trying to make my mind to forget about everything that happened.
As usual, there was no response from this solitary man. "You dont like to talk much, eh? Or is it, that you don't want to talk with me?"
For few seconds Auron and I kept silent. Then, his answer followed, and honestly, it surprised me.
"It doesnt matter. You, Yuna, Tidus ... makes no difference. I wouldnt speak anyways." Cold answer.
But, DUH! I was too naive. That is not the Auron that was in my dream.
So we sat, silently … staring at the sun. I couldnt pull myself to start a conversation, but then again … It was better that way. It was better, right? RIGHT?
To my surprise, nobody bothered us for the whole time we spent together - if you could say " together ", that is ...
