Only In Memories
By Relena
It's been several days now since sleeping has become more difficult. Eating has become a hard task. Even breathing is a chore and I knew the source of all this difficulty. I breathed in deeply cool night air to cleanse my soul. The sound of crickets only heightened the tranquility. The star- filled sky was so beautiful that it seemed to wipe all my concerns away. Even though I knew that somewhere in the back of my mind there was always Sin, Father, and then there was him; the one from the sea, a blitzball player of the Zanarkand, an unwanted and unseen invader into the already chaotic imbalance of my life.
"Yuna"
I snap out of my reverie and glanced around. Tidus stood there behind me, under the age worn willow tree, with something in his hand. There was that look on his face that I had become so familiar with. It was that look that was the haunting phantom in my mind whenever he was absent. He smiled when I finally took noticed of him.
"Hey there." He said cheerily and quickly settled down beside me. Too close, I thought. He was too close. These days he seemed so much more comfortable around me. I could never feel completely comfortable around anyone especially someone I knew for as short of a time as I knew him. Even around Lulu, someone I knew for like forever, I kept up an impregnable wall. It was my protection, my only shield in this world.
I moved away a little to regain some personal space. He didn't seem to notice my discomfort, concentrating instead on blowing what he had in his hand.
"Here, Yuna, try this."
He gave me the potatoes that Lulu brought earlier that day from a traveler. He cautiously warned me, "Careful, it's kinda hot." I shook my head, "I'm not hungry." He refused to be denied, "Come on, Yuna. You haven't eaten all day. I mean.you need to eat. We've been traveling forever."
"Really," I stubbornly offered, "I'm not hungry." I really wasn't. I was already full on my thoughts.
But my stomach chose that time to show otherwise. He paused and looked down at my stomach. I did the same. When I lifted my head, he had a huge grin on his face. I felt my face flushed and prayed to Yevon that my embarrassment wasn't visible. Maybe that was too much to hope for, after all I've been told that I resembled a tomato when provoked. It was then that I heard laughter booming in my ears. He shook his head as if trying to shake off his laughter. A brick on my wall came loose. I had to laugh. Tidus had once again proven me wrong. I'm beginning to think that he knows me better than I do.
"Here." He offered me the potato after our laughter subsided. I took it gratefully and started eating. He was right; the potato was hot.
Tidus sighed with content and leaned back on his elbow. I kept my eyes on my food even though my thoughts wandered to him. I felt his gaze and cursed myself for the degree of exposure my summoner outfit gave to my back. I suddenly felt the desperate need to cover myself more or turn around to not let him take advantage of the view. I did the latter and he seemed surprised that I caught him staring. He blinked and looked away before regaining his composure and look up. "Yuna." He paused to contemplate what to say next, "do I scare you?"
It was my turn to look away. I shook my head although my mind screamed.
You should tell him that you're not scared of him.you're terrified of him. Don't lie to him.
He placed his hand under my chin and tilted my head up. I wanted to slap that offending hand away. If I had more courage I would have. Instead I sat there and steeled myself against his study. I would have sworn that his eyes were a reflection of Spira's ocean and skies on warm summer days. His eyes were so.hypnotizing. If I wasn't so nervous I would have sunken against him, compelled to maybe do something about this longing I felt tugging in myself. It was so tempting to maybe just give in a little and let that wall fall so that he can see me on the other side.
But for now I had to concentrate on wiping the terror off my face. He smiled and released my chin, seemingly satisfied. "Good." Tidus said quietly, more for himself.
Suddenly I was curious. I swallowed nervousness and mentally choose and rechecked my words carefully before beginning. "Why did you ask me that, Tidus?"
He shrugged casually. "Oh, you know, Lulu just told me you were and I just wanted to check. But since you're not." He had a glint in his eyes. "I don't have to worry. I want you to feel at home with me. We're buds." He paused waiting for me to do something. Finally he made his intentions known.
"You should finish your food before it gets cold."
I felt that familiar heat on my cheeks. This seems to be happening a lot lately, forgetting what I was doing once I was enveloped in an exchange with Tidus. He seemed more that happy to distract and appeared even more pleased when that light pink painted my face. My blushing, although hard to control before, was now uncaged and harder to reel in. It was scary how easily he affected me. I really should stop this and detached myself. I should do something constructive like concentrate instead on Spira, Sin, and the pilgrimage. Those things are important not this childlike, schoolgirl crush on someone who would most likely not reciprocate my affections.
He might return your affections.
Yeah, and Sin might suddenly decide to devote itself to peace and dance the hokey-pokey, I countered my thoughts sarcastically. Wait.did I just admit that I liked him like that? When I snapped out of my thoughts I discovered that I had finished the potato. I don't even remember its flavor.
"Good, huh?" Tidus asked me curiously.
"Yeah, very." I lied again. This is a bad habit to fall into.
"I knew you would like it. Maybe next time you should eat with us instead of wandering off by yourself." Tidus suggested, rubbing his nose.
My mind processed a response to this.
"Sometimes.I'd like to be alone. It helps me collect myself for the next hardship."
He nodded understandingly. "Yeah, I know what you mean. But you know." He leaned in closer.
I leaned in unconsciously. "What?"
He motioned for me to leaned in even closer. I hesitantly leaned in close enough for him to whisper into my ear. His breathing tickled and distracted me a little as I focused myself before he continued.
"We really shouldn't leave Lulu and Wakka unsupervised, if you know what I mean."
I laughed at his keen observation of Wakka's feelings for Lulu. Perhaps he wasn't just a dumb jock like Lulu thought.
I smiled devilishly at him before saying, "But that would never happen. Not with Kimahri around anyway."
"But still.I want you to eat with us. You can be by yourself later. Dinner should really be time for group bonding." His eyes changed and he suddenly had a puppy dog's eyes pleading for compliance. "Plleeeeeaaaaaasssse."
How does he do it? I wonder. How can he turn my rock hard resolve to dust just like that? Suddenly he added something that made my resolve nonexistent.
"I miss you when you're not around."
It didn't take me long to say, "Alright then."
He smiled. "Yes. That's what I wanted to hear." He gets up and dusts his behind from any dirt that was on the ground. Then he wipes his hand on the clean front part of his shorts before offering me a hand.
"We should head back to camp before they worry about us."
"You're right."
I took his hand and dusted myself as I stood up. I can't help thinking about how his hair seemed silvery, like the moon, in this lighting. But I can't ponder this, not with tomorrow coming as fast as it usually does and not with Sin approaching my destiny.

Finally ^.^ finished. I don't know what moved me to dedicating my precious time. The writing muse must be really messing with me. If this story gets good reviews (or any reviews) I'll continue to devote more time to it. If not.it was fun writing. Mind you, I do have a life. Anyways.PEACE EASY! Until the next time.
