Candy Girl
A/N: This is my first attempt at this couple so please be nice…I'm more of a Paine/Yuna girl but had a request fer a Paine/Rikku fic so here it is…I DON'T OWN FFX2
Paine sat on the deck of the Celsius and watched the clouds pass by and sighed. She'd found herself up on the deck more and more since they found Tidus and he decided that him and Yuna would stay and be spear hunters. Paine groaned and let herself fall backwards as she closed her eyes. The feel of the cold metal on her bare skin made her whimper softly. Paine didn't realize she had fallen asleep till she heard a voice in her ear telling her to wake up. Paine tried to stretch but found she couldn't because something or someone was on her. This alone caused the warrior to open her crimson eyes and look next to her. Her red eyes soon met green swirly ones. "Rikku what are you doing?"
The blonde thief smiled. "Watchin you sleep." She smiled widely. "You been asleep at least the two hours I been up here you ok?"
The warrior raised an eyebrow. "You couldn't find a better way to spend two hours Rikku?"
Rikku smiled. "Nope…" Rikku's face took a serious look as she snuggled closer to Paine. "I've been worried about you since we found Tidus you've been spending so much time up here and staying awake all night at a table reading or whatever you do…So many nights I've wanted to just go sit with you and tell you the one thing I'd never thought I'd ever have the guts to say…" Rikku's voice cracked as she trailed off. She then buried her face in Paine's neck causing the older girl to blush and put an arm around the crying girl.
"Rikku what's wrong?" Paine's voice was soft as she spoke.
"e muja oui...frah fa vencd sad oui fana mega dryd crytuf dryd vummufat ic ynuiht yht bnudaldat ic yht fryd cdyndat yc y clruum kenm lineuic lnicr dinhat ehdu cu silr suna..." ((i love you...when we first met you were like that shadow that followed us around and protected us and what started as a school girl curious crush turned into so much more...))
Paine looked at Rikku for a moment. "Rikku…" Before Paine could say what she was going to Rikku jumped up and ran off in tears. Paine sat up and shook her head. "Damn it…" Paine sighed and stood up and went after Rikku. When she got to the elevator the doors opened and Paine jumped a little seeing Yuna and Tidus in there. "Did you guys see Rikku?"
Yuna nodded. "Yea she wouldn't tell me why she was crying…she's curled up in her bed."
Paine nodded. "Thanks…" Paine stepped into the elevator as those two stepped out. She sighed and rode the elevator to the cabin and walked slowly up the stairs to where the beds were. Rikku was curled up crying on her bed cuddling her pillow. Paine sat on the end of her bed and placed a hand on Rikku's leg. "Fryd oui tet duug kidc...E's cunno dryd ed rindc oui du vaam dryd fyo..." ((What you did took guts...I'm sorry that it hurts you to feel that way...))
Rikku looked up at Paine then back at her pillow. "Whatever leave me alone…" The thief's voice was somber as she spoke.
Paine sighed. "Fine…if that's what you want…" Paine stood and started to walk back towards the stairs.
Rikku all of a sudden jumped out of her bed. "Paine!" The warrior stopped and faced her. Rikku ran at the taller girl and jumped into her arms wrapping her legs around the warrior's waist and pressed her lips to Paine's and moved her lips with the warrior's reaction as she wrapped her arms around her neck. She moaned a little when she felt Paine's arms around her.
Neither girl broke the kiss till they head Yuna's voice. "Bout time you made your move Rikku." Yuna smiled and giggled a little.
Paine looked over her shoulder and shook her head then looked back up at Rikku. "Comfortable?"
Rikku smiled down at Paine. "Yea…" Rikku leaned in and kissed Paine again softly. "You know…you're a lot stronger then you look."
Paine smirked as the thief let go of her neck. "I am huh." Paine then let Rikku go causing the thief to quickly grab ahold of Paine pulling them both down on to her bed with Paine on top of her. "Um please tell me this wasn't on purpose."
Rikku blushed horribly as Paine got up. "No I swear it wasn't!"
"You're going to get hurt if it was." Paine blushed slightly looking at Rikku lying on the bed.
Rikku blushed darker as she looked at Paine and then realized the position she was in and quickly sat up. "I'm sorry…"
Paine shook her head. "Don't worry about it."
Rikku glared at her cousin. "That was all your fault ya know Yunie."
Yuna giggled. "How? You're the one who commented on her strength."
Rikku laughed. "If you hadn't stopped me from kissing her I never would have said it."
Paine shook her head. "And now you know why I'm always on the deck."
Tidus shook his head. "Here we thought you just liked the scenery."
Paine shook her head. "Maybe I haven't made myself clear enough. I don't like you I remotely put up with you because Yuna loves you so with as much pregidus as I can muster…Shove it…"
"Yewouch…down Paine…"
"I'm not a dog Rikku…"
"You sure about that…because you really are a bitch…" Tidus scoffed.
"That's it your getting hurt." Paine cracked her knuckles and headed for the stairs.
Rikku's eyes got wide. "Paine…"
"What?" The warrior looked at the thief.
"You don't have to hurt him." Rikku spoke softly.
Paine just made her way down the stairs as even Yuna's eyes got wide as one punch from Paine sent Tidus to the ground. "Anything else you want to say?"
Rikku's eyes got wide. "Paine!" The warrior looked at her then back at Tidus. "That's enough Paine…"
Paine growled a little and walked off. Again she found herself on the deck. She made a fist then unmade it. "Damn it…" Paine shook her left hand.
Rikku glared at Tidus. "You deserved that ya know…" Rikku then went to find Paine.
Yuna sighed. "Shes right ya know…Paine doesn't take to men well and callin her a bitch joking or not was not very smart."
Rikku didn't have to look very long for the warrior; she knew right where she'd be. Rikku walked out on the deck and saw Paine standing there and walked over to her quietly and hugged the taller girl from behind. "You ok?"
Paine took a deep breath and sighed heavily and turned around in Rikku's arms and hugged her back. "Aside from a mild pain in my hand yea I'm fine."
Rikku chuckled. "You're used to hurting people with your sword huh."
"Yea something like that." Paine sighed. "Why'd you feel it necessary to come find me?"
"Because of what I said earlier I meant it." Rikku smiled softly at Paine.
Paine smiled softly in return. "I know you did Rikku." Paine leaned down and kissed the younger girl.
Just as Rikku started to kiss Paine back Yuna came running up to the deck. "I'm really sorry to bother you two but there are sphear waves in the Calm Lands."
Rikku looked at her cousin and growled. "Ok, ok let's get that sphear so I can have some quiet time with Paine."
The three girls ran to the bridge and got their instructions and the four ran from the airship. After random battles they finally reached the chocabo ranch and made their way through it. Upon reaching the sphear a rather large guardian beast appeared. Rikku was changing into her black mage dress-sphear and the resent attack from Tidus made it turn its attention on the defenseless one. It lunged at Rikku and the blonde squeezed her eyes shut and braced for impact. When she came to she was still on the ground with the beast ontop of her. She wiped the blood from her face and looked down seeing there was a lot more on her then the beast. "PAINE!"
