AUTHOR'S NOTES: This story is my first attempt at a Tidus and Wakka pairing. Because they are the best together. Period. Do not attempt to contradict me, because I am the supreme god and the universe alters itself to make me correct. Mwahahahaha! Wait, forget that. Anyways, read and enjoy. Hopefully, I will make more chapters. Reviews will speed the process, I promise.

WARNINGS: Some VERY basic spoilers. None past Kilika. Some scenes told in blips, so you will have to have experienced them in game to fully understand. Slight rewrites to the story, nothing major. No citrus (lemons 'n limes)................yet.

RATING SPECIFICATIONS: [PG] for mentions of violence and nakedness (ooo la la) ;)

DISCLAIMER:I don't own FFX or anything related to FFX besides this story.

Where the hell was he? He remembered being in Zanarkand, and "sin" coming. He remembered waking up in ruins, being attacked. Meeting......what were they called again....Al Bhed. What, was that Spanish or something???

And now, here he was, eating lunch with the most gorgeous man he'd ever seen. Wakka, Wakka was his name. Tidus was absorbed by his features. Wakka's large muscles, perfectly tanned by the by the island sun. His hair, the beautiful orange arch captured Tidus's admiration. His face, oh his face was-

"Good, ya?" Wakka interrupted Tidus's thoughts.

"Huh, yeah, great"

"Then why ain't you eaten any?"

Tidus had been to interested in Wakka's good looks to think about food.

"Huh, oh, ummm..... I'm not really hungry," he said, pushing the bowl away.

"Man, Sin's toxins must have really gotten to you."

"Yeah, Sin, Toxins, Right....."

"Man, brudda, you seem outta' it. Maybe you should lie down or sumthing?"

"Yea, maybe..." But Tidus made no effort to move, his eyes still locked on Wakka.

"But first, you gotta go see the temple summoner."

~-~-~

"She's cute, ya?"

Tidus didn't know what to say. He had met the summoner, Yuna. She was a pretty girl, but that's not what he wanted. At least, not the girl part.

"Ummm, not really."

"Then we're cool."

Huh? What did that mean? Was he her big brother? Nah, couldn't be. He had red hair. Oh, yes, the most beautiful hair he had ever seen. And she had, well, brown. Regular old brown hair. No magnificent styles or anything.

"I know, I shouldn't have brought him, but-"

"He's not Chappu you know."

"That's not why I brought him."

"Then why did you?"

"I don't know.... I just feel something."

"What?" Lulu asked, intrigued.

"I don't know.... It's just this really strong feeling..... But anyway, we couldn't just leave him, maybe he will find someone in Luca"

"I hope so......"

Tidus lay awake in his bed at the Kilika inn. It was one of the only things left after what had happened. Wakka had offered to help repair the damage. He was handsome, and caring to boot? What more could Tidus hope for?

"Humpphannh" Wakka let out of muffled noise into his sheets.

Wakka lay face down in the bed next to Tidus's. His naked and sweaty body covered only by a thin sheet. Tidus was tempted, but no. He couldn't do that, not to the man who had taken him in and helped him. But still, he longed for those strong arms to hold him....

"Come on wake up"

After waking up in Kilika Port, they had decided to obtain the Aeon from the island's temple. After getting through the confusing paths of the jungle, they thought they were home free. They were wrong. On they're way up the temple's steps, they had been attacked by a rather large and rather plant like sinspawn.

At one point during the battle, both Tidus and Wakka had been knocked down pretty hard. Yuna was unable to heal them because of frustrating lack of magical energy. They had only one potion left, and with out hesitation Tidus had used it on Wakka. Immediately after doing so, Tidus had been struck down. Enraged, Wakka had killed the beast and sprinted to Tidu's side.

"Come on, you gotta wake up brudda," He cradled Tidus's unconscious body.

"I'm, I'm fine"

Wakka smiled with relief.

"Thank Yevon! Come on, we better get you to the temple."

"No, no, I'm fine" Tidus said, standing up.

But his legs couldn't support him and he fell forward. Wakka caught him, supported him as if Tidus was some precious artifact that must not be broken. Wakka held Tidus a little longer than necessary, but Tidus was in no rush. He loved those arms, those hands. Strong, but gentle. Rough, but kind. In Tidus's opinion, they were the perfect hands. To go along with the perfect man.
