An Ocean's Moon

A Final Fantasy X Fic

By CosmicStar

DISCLAIMER: This story contains slash (Yaoi/Shounen Ai) using a Wakka x Tidus
coupling as its base. For all the Lulu x Wakka & Tidus x Yuna fans - 'm Sorry. I feel this
coupling goes much deeper than the other two due to the fact that - In Wakka's eyes,
Tidus is very close to his heart. And I believe the feeling became mutual as the storyline
progressed. If you don't like the whole "Brotherhood" thing, tough cookies. Flames are
not accepted - constructive critism is welcomed. Flame me, the post will be removed and
I shall use the flames to set your fics on fire. K(:D)? k.

Special Thanks!: To all those Wakka/Tidus lovers out there who support the coupling and
to all my fellow 'Tikka' writers! You all have helped me gain the courage up to write a fic
based on a coupling I adore. Keep up the good work - all of you. *~* "Cosmic Star"


NOTE:
**blah** - thoughts, I was trying to put the words in italics…but they don't tend to come
up. So…just in case.

Tidus sat on the small dock that bordered part of the shore of Besaid Island. The summer-
like heat of day had disappeared from the sky, along with the golden sun. Silvery rays of
moonlight were now playing their serene song along the water's waves. The pale mythril
stroked the blonde's face, and highlighted upon two cheeks - a tear. A soft pale arm
would be drawn over the sapphire eyes which shed the saline droplets that now mixed
with the water. The youth never heard the quiet footfalls of the sea Guardian approching
him. The crunch of the glassy white sand was almost silent against the incessant
pounding of the waves against the small rocks which line the outskirts of the beach. The
blonde boy kicked at the water - as if trying to force it to part from itself.

"I hate you - Jecht." He glared at the moonlit waters below him, now disturbed by his
rampaging foot.

"Still mad at your father, ya?" Wakka's quiet voice had broken what little serenity the
beach held. Tidus turned his head slowly, looking over his shoulder to see the red-headed
guardian standing a few meters from him. How the blonde wanted to pick himself up and
throw him into the warmth of the older boy's arms. A small tinge of red spread across his
cheeks. No - that wasn't something he should do. He liked Wakka…but was it wrong to
love him?

"Yeah…he's done so much to everyone. He's made your lives miserable. I'm so sorry
about everything. I will do anything to save all of you…and kill him." Tidus's voice was
solemn as he said what he'd been dreading forever. He was going to have to kill his
father.

Wakka looked down at the younger boy…so many things plauged him now. He wanted
to walk over to him and take the boy up in his arms. But he just looked down to the dock
as he felt his face grow hot. Was it wrong…to love another boy?

"Tidus?" The redhead sat down beside the younger boy. "You mind if I talk to you about
some stuff? Stuff that's been nagging at me."

"You talkin' about Lulu, Wakka?" The blonde giggled at his 'witty' comment, but then
became stone faced when he saw that Wakka looked serious. "Sorry…what is it?" The
red had returned and he bit his lower lip.

"Um…in the past few days…I've noticed you, uh, how to put this. Noticed you - looking
at me. A lot. And I was just wondering…" Poor Wakka stumbled over his sentence, so
that all that seemed to come out was gibberish.

**'Aw…crap. I'm such a dork.'** Tidus mentally reached out and smacked himself in the
head. "Wondering what…?"

"I was wondering…if you were wanting me to do…this." As Wakka spoke, he leaned
forward - towards Tidus. He finished his sentence and immediately planted a butterfly
kiss on top of those pale pink lips that belonged to the blonde. The boy's body quivered
slightly in response to the kiss…before reciprocating and returning the kiss, wrapping his
arms around Wakka. The kiss itself only lasted for a few seconds before they pulled away
and an awkward silence surrounded the air. The only sound that could be heard was that
endless crashing of waves against the sand.

"Wakka…I never expected…you…to…" the blonde was held speechless by the
enchanting first kiss of two lovers.

"To kiss you…to fall in love with you? Tidus…I've been in love with you since the day I
met you…yes…at first you looked a little like Chappu. But that wasn't why. I wanted to
protect you because of that…but…I'm in love with YOU…not who you look like."

Tidus turned bright red. "Wakka…" He snuggled close with his friend. "Do you think
Yuna…will…die when she finds out that the two of us are together?"

"Well…we aren't really together. Yet…" the older boy's smile was replaced with an evil
grin. "and Yuna pretty much knows anyway. She figured it out long before anyone else.
She just never mentions it."

"…That's because you tell her everything Wakka. You sicko." Tidus giggled and pushed
the red head slightly.

"Come off it. You are encorageable."

"I'm SOO sorry ~King~ Wakka." Tidus stuck his tongue out at his friend. Wakka just
took initative at this and softly bit down on Tidus's outstreched tongue.
The blonde tried to pull away, softly slapping the red head on the shoulder. Finally - after
a moment, Wakka let go.

"Pervert. I althways knthew tha you'th were sthcary." Tidus was touching his tongue
gingerly, to make sure it wasn't injured.

"Oh it wasn't THAT bad, Blondie." Wakka smirked and tousled Tidus's hair around a
little. "Oh - and if I'm king…doesn't that make you a flaming queen?"

"…Shaddup."


---------------------


"Seeeee! I told you this is where Wakka was going!" the little Al Bhed girl giggled in
excitement to her friend. "Didn't I Yunie?"

The two girls were hidden well behind a grove of palm trees and rock outcroppings. It
was a tiny little tide pool they had huddled in to watch the events of th evening. Although
- Yuna wasn't QUITE sure why she was here.

"You sure did." Yuna shook her head softly. She had always liked Tidus but knew (in the
back of her mind) that Tidus didn't go for women, he had it written all over his face.
Besides, he was too pretty to have been straight. It was all common sense. "They look
cute together, I must say that."

"Aww…you liked Tidus didn't you? I'm sorry Yunie. Oh well - I'm sure Tidus and
Wakka'll let you watch them sometime." Rikku patted Yuna softly on the back. Her cute
excitement did seem to bring a smile to the summoner's face.
"If you know what I mean. Hehe."

"Oy. You are such a voyuer, you know that?"

"Ey, at least I didn't bring Lulu out here. She'd comment on how it was 'nauseatingly
adorable.' And then proceed to gossip about it to yours truly. Like she did when Rin kept
flirting with Auron."

Yuna had to let off a small giggle at that one. Rin was one odd character and almost
seemed like he was a main player in their journey to defeat Sin.

"Ooh! Yunie! Look at what they're doing now!" Rikku whispered in excitement. The
summoner turned just in time to see Wakka kiss Tidus. Yuna almost thought that she'd
feel heartbroken when that moment came. Yet strangely - she felt a weird sense of joy
and happiness wash over her. Perhaps it was the fact that Tidus was finally finding
something worth staying in Spira for. Perhaps.

End Chapter 1


So…what did you think? Pardon my horrid attempt at actual discription in the beginning.
It sounded kinda…fake to me @_@; I'm surprised my muse outlasted even me. I found
myself waking up at ungodly hours in the morning and scribbling down ideas on future
chapters. Review please! ^___^; Next Chapter will be up…whenever my muse decides to
come back. Until then - Much Love! ~ Cosmic Star
