A/N: This story is going to be about the gang in Final Fantasy X & X2 cause I just finished the games and I wanna try a romantic story once in a while… one where no one dies or have angst suicidal thoughts…
Summary:
Tidus is new in town, starting a new life with his new guardian Auron. Yuna is his weird neurotic neighbor who lives with her crazy happy go lucky cousin Rikku and childhood friend and guardian Lulu…
It's so obvious that Yuna and Tidus falls in love at first sight but refuse to express due to certain (lots of weird) issues they have… loads of problems and secrets…
Plus all the important people of both games are in this, and there will be their stories…
But it's mostly about Tidus and Yuna…
R&R plz… thanks…
Looking through your eyes
Disclaimer: I know, I don't own Final Fantasy X or X2…
Chapter 1– Eyes on you …
A van pulled up to a neat little house in one of those quiet suburban neighborhoods overlooking the ocean. Out of the van stepped a teenage boy with shockingly handsome features and unruly blond hair that struck up all over the place, and a slightly older woman, who looked positively relieved at the sight of the house…
"I think we're here" the woman smiled wearily muttering something under her breath…
"You're late" a man's voice stopped them.
"Auron" Tidus greeted him half heartedly.
Auron was waiting for them on the front porch, he was a man in his early forties, yet he looked a bit younger. Maybe because of the overwhelming feel of his strength still present, he had the look of a retired warrior, which he was, but still possessing the strength to fight…
"You've grown boy" Auron said gruffly.
Tidus cocked his eyebrow, 'he hasn't changed…'
The woman handed Auron a folder "here are all the legal documents concerning the child's custody…"
Tidus pouted at the prospect of being called a child
"… You can send these back later…" the woman's voice was droning on
Slightly bored that it was taking this much time, Tidus was staring blankly at the neat rows of flowers, planted on the side of the house…
The voices were distant now; he'd walked far away from them. He was watching the way the trees were swaying in the breeze. Everything here was different from the city, trees and plants were a rare sight there… so were flowers…
And it was also quiet, a rare luxury. He could almost feel relaxed. Yeah this was going to take sometime to get used to…
"Aarrrggghhh! how could you!" someone shrieked from the opposite lawn, surprising Tidus.
"Sorry sorry" another voice was yelling…
Tidus walked over to see what the matter was when he was struck by the sight of a girl... his heart missed a beat.
Her short brown hair was ruffled, she was wearing a large nightshirt with the words 'I'm out of my mind, leave a message'. Her face and arms had smudges that looked suspiciously like chocolate, her eyes had small dark circles under them, her face was fixed in a tired but angry scowl, and she looked like she'd stayed awake all night but despite all that she was…
Breathtaking…
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" the other girl, a blond was screeching, trying to duck the lawn ornaments the brown haired girl was hurling at her "I told you I'm sorry – ow" a tiny gnome hit her shoulder.
"I stayed up all night making that, how could you just eat it like that?" she sighed, calming down a bit "what am I going to do now?" she stared at the ground looking like she was going to cry.
"Oh sorry Yu- Hey" the blond girl she spotted Tidus watching behind the hedge.
"Hi" she said brightly like she'd known him all her life "I'm Rikku…what's your name? You're new here right?"
"Tidus, yeah I'm new here" he nodded weakly, feeling slightly uncomfortable. His wandered over Rikku's shoulders, his eyes searching for the brunette, but she seemed to have disappeared as soon as Rikku acknowledged him.
Rikku must have noticed "You're looking for Yunie aren't you?"
"Huh what?" Tidus took a step back, startled because Rikku had suddenly leaned forwards towards him.
"You like her don't you?" she went all shifty eyed.
"W- what?" Tidus stammered despite himself "Like who?" he squeaked
"That big meanie who just threw the paper-mâché gnome at me just now" she smiled knowingly "By the way her name is Yuna, she's sixteen and she likes orchids, Skittles, she has a Naruto plushie and her favorite band is Lillix…"
"Why are you telling me all this?" Tidus muttered feeling more and more uncomfortable…
"Because–"
Fortunately that moment she was interrupted by Auron.
"Hey you boy, where are you?"
"Whoa, you're with him?" Rikku whispered at Tidus
"Yeah why?"
"Good luck, that old man is majorly whacked"
"Thanks for the warning" he said before walking towards his new guardian
'Yuna huh?'
"I can't believe it" Yuna said coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a purple towel.
"What?" her perky cousin asked looking up from the magazine she was reading.
"I mean I was on the lawn, wearing a dumb-" she stopped for a moment unable to find a proper profanity to describe her disgraceful nightshirt which was now tragically in the laundry basket looking very insignificant "- wearing that!-" she said finally, pointing her finger at it accusingly "A-and my hair was horribly wrong… why is my hair always wrong?" she touched her damp hair.
"Wait-" Rikku laughed suddenly "you're not saying that… you like him?"
"What? No, I do not!" Yuna yelled, the vases on the dresser vibrated with the sound.
"Like who? I didn't say anyone's name" Rikku grinned evilly, and Yuna wished that she had really murdered her little cousin on the lawn…
"I don't know what you're talking about" she said firmly, walking behind the screen used to divide their room.
"I mean about Tidus… you know the guy who saw you wearing that!" Rikku mimicked Yuna perfectly.
"What guy?" Yuna chose to be difficult.
"Our new neighbor, you know he's going to live with Sir Auron"
"No way! You warned him didn't you?"
"Yeah, I told him to be careful" Rikku giggled "Wow, I think you got it good, you really like him and you guys haven't even spoke a word yet"
"You know what I think O' dear cousin of mine" Yuna came out from behind the screen wearing a clean shirt and shorts, also wearing big fake smile. Rikku cocked her eyebrow inquisitively "I think you're making up all this just so I would go out with a guy, any guy…" she shrugged "didn't you think the milkman liked me last week?" Yuna said very sarcastically.
"Well, he was looking you up, – and what is wrong with you? You've never gone out with anyone you're whole life…" Rikku sighed "I don't get it …"
"What?"
"You always act like you want somebody to love you, to take care of you but every time someone gets close to you; you push them away like you're the ice queen or something…" Rikku stared at her cousin with the most serious expression that she's had in years "I just don't get it Yunie, don't you want to fall in love? Don't you want someone to hold you when you're crying, or when you're scared…"
"I don't need to hear this…" Yuna's voice turned steely "I don't want to. You know why? Because I don't care…, even if I never fall in love… or find someone. I'm sorry but it's my choice"
"Well, I hope you can live with your damn choice" Rikku muttered before storming out of their room and slamming the door loudly behind her.
"I'm sorry Rikku" Yuna whispered after Rikku had gone, a single tear rolled down her cheek…
'I'm sorry'
Tidus was nervous. Funny that his hands seem to fidget and it felt numb at the same time. He'd had been tossing and turning all night, remembering her face… her quick anger and her ridiculously large nightshirt. Her face kept intruding his mind so much so that he'd spent the night watching TV in the living room…
Not that he looked it, he had looked bad when he checked it in the mirror that morning, but he'd taken extra pains to ensure that his dark circles were completely gone... And he looked perfect. He wanted to congratulate himself when he finished, no one would ever know…
"You stayed up all night didn't you?" a voice filled with sunshine spoke out of nowhere…
"Wha -" Tidus jumped "Rikku, you just gave me a heart attack" he said clutching his chest, gasping.
"Tell me" Rikku said "you did stay up all night didn't you?"
Tidus sighed, better to tell the truth. Rikku was amazingly accurate at predicting stuff "I did stay up all night, but how'd you know all this?"
"I'm psychic" Rikku whispered mysteriously.
Tidus gave her a tiny smile "you're insane"
"And I love every minute of it" Rikku laughed in good humor as her cousin appeared from around the corner.
"Rikku, I told you not to leave without me– um…." Yuna stopped, and stared at Tidus blushing slightly.
Tidus blinked "Hello, I'm…"
"Tidus… I know Rikku told me" She held out her hand "My name's…"
"Yuna…I know Rikku told me about you too" he took her hand, grinning like a typical idiot.
'She looks… amazing', he thought unable to tear his eyes off of her. She was wearing a pink miniskirt and a matching white tank-top with a pink butterfly on it… but that wasn't what made her so special, she had these most mesmerizing eyes… one blue and one green but he felt as he could see her soul through them and it was beautiful. His heart seemed to have missed several beats but he couldn't really notice… he could only see those soulful eyes…
Yuna bit her bottom lip nervously 'why is he staring at me like that?' then her heart sank 'oh shit, he's looking at my eyes… he thinks I'm a freak…' but she couldn't help but stare at him, regardless of what he thought of her.
After what seemed like forever both of them were grimly reminded of the real world by Rikku…
"Um guys… the bus is here" she whispered quietly but the both of them jumped apart like they'd been shocked.
"I … uh… so I'll see you around?" Yuna asked, absent-mindedly pulling her hand from his, she'd no idea they'd been holding hands for the last few minutes…
"You will" Tidus promised, mentally cursing the bus for coming so soon…
"Come on" Rikku tugged at Tidus's shirt "You're supposed to start your first day at Besaid High today weren't you?"
"Oh yeah" Tidus replied blankly, letting her drag him into the bus.
He got on the bus and chose the back seat, as faraway from Yuna as he could… for some reason he wanted to think that he was nervous because it was his first day at school. But he knew he was nervous because of something else… someone else…
'How in hell did I forget about school?' he thought furiously then stared at the front of the bus, at a certain girl… and his heart wanted to breakout of his ribcage…
………'oh god what's happening to me?'
A/N: Like? The romance has already started…
It's a bit shorter then I wanted it to be… but I'm sleepy checks watch oh god it's 5:23am… I should really get some sleep before I turn into a vampire completely…
I'll finish this even if you don't review… but I'd appreciate it if you Review for me… just to know how I've done…
R&R if you like or even if you don't like… constructive criticism accepted… flames accepted… Even though it's half heartedly… until next time ja ne…
