Author's Note: The plot bunnies (sent by my sadistic inner Tidiku fan girl) attacked me, tied me down, and forced me to write this. Enough said.

It was… awkward… To say the least.
Thirteen years old Riku sat in a circle of his best friends; twelve years old Sora, Kairi and Wakka, and eleven years old Tidus and Selphie.
And it was awkward… To say the least.
Why was it awkward? Well… Eleven years old Tidus and Selphie had just finished receiving "The Talk" at school along with the rest of their grade. You know which "talk".
THE talk.
Right, that one.
Riku's eyes flitted in between all his friends. He did not like awkward situations. Not one bit. And so, being the eldest, he took it upon himself to break the icy silence.
"So…" he began lamely, "So… So! Uh…" Finally an idea sparked in his hormonal teenage brain. He smirked.
'Uh-oh…' thought Tidus, eyeing the silver haired one nervously.
"So…" said Riku, looking at tem all devilishly, "When we get older… Do you think we'll be any good at sex?"
…
"Anybody? Care to share?" he looked around smiling brightly.
His reply was a faceful of sand.
Followed by several shrieks ranging in different octaves, the highest of which being Sora's (followed closely by Selphie's).
"Well?" Riku grinned winningly once order had been restored, "Who's gonna go first? Tidus?"
Tidus flushed as everyone turned to look at him. When he failed to produce an answer Riku frowned. Tidus winced, he hated that frown. That disapproving frown that said quite plainly that Riku had expected better of Tidus.
"Okay fine," scoffed the oldest, "I'll go first."
Everyone stared at Riku, letting out the breaths they'd been holding.
"I think I'll be awesome," he said easily (as if it was the simplest thing in the world), "after all I'm totally hot… Oh c'mon Wakka you know it's true. Also, it seems like the kind of thing I'd be good at."
He smirked and a few people laughed albeit nervously (this was a delicate topic for pre-teens).
"Alright Tidus," said Riku encouragingly, "your turn."
Tidus smiled, he knew he could answer well this time… Because that's how it worked when Tidus was with Riku.
Riku would constantly push Tidus to try new exciting things and then, seeing his younger friend's discomfort and reluctance, he would test out whatever it was first. Just to make sure it was both safe and worth Tidus's time.
And Tidus found that things were easier to do when they had the "Riku Seal of Approval".
Author's Note: YAY for fluff! WHEE! Yeah so this is my first attempt at writing drabbles… Tell me how I'm doing. They're a little long though… Are they still drabbles? Oh well… Whatever they are… Anyways I got the idea of Riku's Never Fail Ice Breaker from well… Myself. Yes I have used that as an ice breaker. It worked strangely enough. Odd… Anyways as it says in the summary although this is just a collection of one-shots they follow a fragmented pattern. It's sort like they're skipping around to different awkward moments of Tidus's and Riku's relationship. They are in order from beginning to end. They just jump around
Also to anyone else who enjoyed this please check out my other story "Let the World Spin". If you liked this you'll love that!!!
