The hymn of the fayth sung continuously so much so it just faded into the surroundings, I was used to it so I didn't pay the singing attention. I sat down on the hard yet warm steps in this godforsaken chamber. Yuna had been praying to the fayth for many hours now and I'd been waiting here for what seemed like an eternity. However I was not alone, although I might as well have been, I was with her other guardian, Kimahri. The blue Ronso, just thinking about him made me feel well…awkward.
He was of little words, but he had this mysterious air that attracted me to him, like a moth drawn to the flame. I was mystified with this blue feline, I had been for quite some time now, but I would never let my feelings show. After all I couldn't. Kimahri would probably think it strange to have cross race relationships, and even if he didn't others probably would, especially Wakka. I did love his brother and I him mourned for a long time, but no matter how much I mourned and cried for him it would not bring him back to me. In time I came to accept that and I got over Chappu, may Yevon bless him. However Wakka never and has still not gotten over Chappu's death, so to confess my love for another would make me feel disrespectful to him.
Really there were many things stopping me from telling anyone, these were just a few of those. I let out a sigh. Spira would never let me be happy, I was tainted. I would have to bottle all my emotions into one big jar.
"Is Lulu okay?" His voice that permanently spoke in third person broke the virtually silent air in the chamber. I felt warmth rise in my pale face as I blushed, just hearing his voice made all of my nerves stand on edge. I tried with all my might to disguise my embarrassment as I replied.
"I suppose I am. I'm just worried about Yuna, she's been in there a while". I didn't lie about my distress I just didn't tell the whole truth. I was earnestly concerned for Yuna; she had been in there for nearly a day I would probably say.
"Yes Kimahri concerned too, but Kimahri can sense something else wrong with Lulu". How could he sense? Did he know how I felt?
I just kept silent and looked away from the feline warrior who stood leaning against the back wall of the ornate stone room. I heard him move and he stood towering over me.
"Kimahri just want to say, that Kimahri loves Lulu too".
I looked up at him gob smacked. I knew the Ronso could sense things about people, but this? It was something else. I couldn't put words to what I was feeling inside, I was blissful, ecstatic, attracted and in…love. Yes you could say I was. I just wanted to yell at the top of my voice that he knew how I felt, that I knew there would be no awkwardness in telling him, I wouldn't have to fret. Still there was Wakka, but he was blocked out of this. For this single moment there was only Kimahri and I.
"Kimahri you surprised me, I didn't have any idea that you knew. How did you know?" I said not being able to wipe the smile from my face.
"Kimahri smell certain, pheromones in the air". I chuckled at his comments, although it was probably true.
