Trying something different. You're Lightning by the way. (To avoid confusion)
There's something about her. Surely because you can't seem to stop staring. You shift your footing, placing more of your weight on one leg as you cross your arms. You click your tongue in question as you observe. Her robe sways gracefully as she giggles at a joke the gunner had said. Her short waves of brown fluttering prettily with the movement, a taint of pink dusting her cream cheeks. Her eyes a crescent moon from her laugh, covering your view of her green and blue pools.
Purity.
It was the thought that came to your mind when you saw her for the first time. You remember waking on a foreign land; surrounded by nothing but water. It was her voice that made you jolt, unsheathing your blaze edge as you spun fast, sword ready for whoever was behind you. Your eyes held their surprise when the newcomer remained nonchalant; calm, with your blade at her throat. Those liquids of green and blue were so readable, so open you're taken aback at how honest they were.
She was an open book and she let you read her.
"Are you from here?" her voice was as gentle as her eyes, and you wince at the honest tone of it. Don't let your guard down. You remind yourself, keeping your weapon pointed. All she did was smile, and that really irked you.
"Don't be so warm hearted to someone you don't know." you find yourself advising; your eye unconsciously twitching at the knowing smile gracing the stranger's lips. You grunt as the woman gently places her hand on your sword, slowly lowering it from her neck with that same tranquil look in her eyes.
"My name is Yuna, may I know yours?" you groan in your head from the overly soothing voice, hating the fact that she was so open with you, so vulnerable. Or so it looks. Still, you don't withdraw your blade despite the woman having already lowered it; gazing at you expectantly to sheathe it.
You wouldn't, couldn't. Shouldn't. Not when you're still not sure if she was just deceiving you. You push your sword so that it touches the skin of her chest, discreetly avoiding cutting her hand that was still on it; much to your dismay. You watched as the woman inhaled slightly from the feel of your sharp blade. Apparently she was expecting you to have warmed up a little from her kindness. You won't acknowledge that you kind of did.
"Lightning." you say, voice low and husky, hoping to appear intimidating. It hadn't worked though because the woman still gave off that warm smile and it was making you restless. Why was she glowing with a sword at her chest? If it had been you in her shoes you would've definitely knocked that intruder off their feet in a flash.
"Lightning..." Hearing your name roll off her lips like that, it made your head cloudy and you gulped when the woman took a confident step forward. You cursed at yourself for not keeping the sword where it was, pulling it closer to you bit by bit as she loomed closer step by step. She knew you wouldn't hurt her. Couldn't hurt her and that was enough to make you more than angry at yourself. Seeing amusement plastered in those green and blue eyes, you curse some more knowing that the woman knew it too.
Your hand dropped to your side since there was no use keeping it up. She had looked up at you, had felt her steady breath tickle your lips. You wondered how she'd been able to render you frozen like that. You couldn't move, hadn't bothered to because you were too busy sinking deeper into those pools of green and blue.
So you had let her read you.
"Light?"
You snap from your reverie to find every one of your comrades looking at you. Some had smirks on their faces while others were grinning like idiots. The quieter ones had sparks in their eyes that you can't quite decipher, but that's beside the point. Why do they all seem so giddy all of a sudden?
"You've been staring at our sweet Yuna for a while y'know." apparently Laguna had the guts to speak out loud. The summoner in response blushed cutely but did not shy away from your curious gaze. You shrugged, appearing indifferent about the whole situation but you know better. You're embarrassed about such a thing, but you won't ever admit that to anyone.
You turn away, red cape swaying against the slight drift; the first smile in a while hidden from your teammates. You know you have no place in that innocent summoner's heart, for it was already occupied with someone else. You can't take away what's rightfully his, so you settle for the next best thing.
"She's nice to look at."
Just gaze.
I see their relationship more bittersweet really, 'cause Tidus is still around. (That a good thing?)
