Spiran Baby
tidalwave pov of yuniekins. inspired by a vid on youtube and dave matthews band. (:
reviews plz?
It was almost like a competition between us to see which one would wake up first. The last time, Yuna did and I caught her trying to run away so it wouldn't look like she had been staring for too long. She doesn't really need to do it anymore. It's not like I'm going to run away and call her creepy, yeah? I love that she still does, though. I love chasing after her and making her collapse in giggles, or find that the pot of tea she'd made for whenever I decided to get up had already chilled beyond the point of drinking. I feel kinda guilty these days, but I guess blitz practice can take a lot out of me.
But mornings like these are my favorite. When I would wake up, Yuna still fast asleep. I could predict them, too. Whenever Rikku called here for reinforcements, Yuna would sleep for a really long time.
I almost want to kiss Rikku when I hear her voice over the commsphere that little genius kid gave us. (Maybe the kid too.)
Even after all this time, she was my Spiran Baby. She looked so peaceful as she slept, like she never went through losing a mother, father and a bunch of friends; like Yevon never betrayed her; like Auron never left her; like I never became nothing more than a dream. It was beautiful. She was beautiful. I love every second of her just breathing as she sleeps, hand subconsciously clutching to the unborn life within her, smile rising as she dreams beautiful dreams only Yuna could produce.
She reminds me of lemonade on a sunny day, when she's curled up and in her pjs. This Yuna, the sleeping one that could go on sleeping for days if her body's internal clock - the one that really just gets in the way - wouldn't go off sometime around noon.
I was thinking, after I got up to fix Yuna her tea for when she would wake up, that this peacefulness was more than a midday-sleep thing. Besaid sorta, like, radiated the touchy-feelies. Since Sin's gone, Yuna says that it's always like this. Since no one has anything to worry about aside from which bed they want to sleep in and which wine would taste best by the nightly campfire, there's like, an actual Calm around Spira. Not just by name but by lifestyle.
That's cool, I guess. I'm just really glad that after all this time, even if my favorite girl and outrun me (Yep, I'll admit it! She's only been locally kicking my ass for the past few years. I can own up.) and kick my ass in blitzball on my off days, she's still the one that can make me come running at the sound of a whistle and make me cry laughing when no one else is looking. Like the laughter we share is a secret she wouldn't dare let anyone else know about. I like knowing that I'm the only one that can make her face contort like that with honest, genuine laughter. And I love knowing that she's only vulnerable when she sleeps, breath rattling and belly shaking with our future.
She can go act like some sort of super woman for the rest of the world, but she'll always be my Spiran Baby. That's what I love best about sleepy Yuna mornings.
