Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile,
And you use it only for me.
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile,
And you use it only for me.
So use it and prove it. Remove this whirling of sadness, I'm losing, I'm bruising, Because you can't save me from madness.
Tidus just treaded water as he watched Yuna floating idly in the waters of Lake Macalania. It was very cold so he wasn't quite sure why she was swimming. A thought came into his head.
"What if...." he started. Yuna looked at him and cocked her head to one side like a puppy. "You stopped your pilgrimage?"
"I can't! I just can't! Tidus, don't you understand? Everybody's counting on me!"
"Not just you, Yuna." She had started to cry. Tidus gripped her by the shoulder. "Isaaru and Dona, they'll do it without your help."
"That's.. That's right! I don't have to be the one who defeats Sin! Go Isaaru! Go Dona!"
"Right on!" Tidus punched the air and they hugged eachother. "I'm glad you've decided not to carry on Yuna. I couldn't let you go that easily." She laughed that wonderful bell-like laugh. Tidus couldn't ever explain how much joy he felt at hearing that again.
"I'm laughing! Listen to me! I'm not actually trying to teach you this time!" she howled like a wolf and tears of happiness fell from her odd eyes.
"Come on, Yuna. Let's tell the others."
*** Tidus smiled as he put down the paintbrush to accept a cool drink from Yuna's clammy hands. It was a very hot day by the Scar. It was normally mild because it was so near the sea, Macalania and Mount Gagazet. Causing awe from the locals, it was autumn, and after yet another mild summer they got this sweltering day. Tidus gulped and let the liquid soothe his blazing throat.
"You've done a lot today!" Yuna smiled and admired her best friend's handiwork. The small house with the moss-covered roof had just got another lick of white paint but unfortunately Tidus hadn't made it the whole way round yet.
"Because it's so hot, I have to paint quickly. It's hard but at the same time I'm glad it's not raining." Tidus looked out towards the waters and shielded his eyes from the blinding light. "Look at this day. Isn't it beautiful?" Yuna nodded and took the empty glass from his hands and went back inside.
Yuna opened a window at the back of the house and got a pretty view of the Mountain. Laying her head on her hand, she leaned out of the window and fiddled with the small flower box. Nobody, apart from Rin and a few other trustworthy friends, knew she was here. It was peaceful. Ever since that talk in Lake Macalania and seeing her father's sphere, she knew what to do. She gave up in secret and hid from Yevon.
Now she lived in this sweet house with Tidus, housemate and ever-best friend, and had turned her back on her teachings, friends and aeons. Yuna missed the aeons a lot but letting down Auron was worse. He disappeared after that day by the lake, before everyone went to the Calm Lands. He took it worse then the rest. Auron was just obsessed with duty more than Yuna was! Rumour was he went back to Bevelle and faced Yevon. Yuna flinched. Was he dead?
"Hey! Yuna!" she looked up and there was Tidus, aiming a paintbrush at her. Before she could object, Yuna got white paint flicked in her face.
"Huh! You little..." Picking up the nearest vase, she took out the flowers and threw the water over him. They both fell about laughing. Yuna ran outside and crept up behind him, this time brandishing the whole bucket of paint. "Oh-Ti-dus!" she said in a singsong voice.
"Hmm?" SPLASH went the paint and Tidus was completely covered.
"Okay, okay, we're even." Yuna couldn't stop laughing.
"Sorry." She giggled.
"I know you're not." He took a swipe at her but she ducked.
"Am I interrupting anything?"
