Wakka felt his lips, still tender from his encounter with Auron, and his jaw hurt. Every time he closed his eyes he saw Auron's smile, he had helped him, in a very intimate way he thought. He was glad to have helped out Auron, but he could have told him he was about to . . . And he could have let him pull away. Why?
Auron sat in his room, still naked from his encounter with Wakka, it seemed like so long since he had sex with anyone, the last one was. . . Braska, 11 years ago, Auron scratched his stubble, he was hesitant to think about his times with Braska, memories of his pilgrimage with Jecht and Braska always made him sad. I should apologize to Wakka, Auron thought to himself, but not now, tomorrow, he doubted Wakka would let him into his room now.
The following morning when Auron awoke he moved into the lobby of the hotel expecting to Wakka, up early as usual, but he didn't. He saw only Tidus and Yuna, chatting about something. Not one to initiate conversation Auron simply leaned against the wall next to the doorway. Maybe he hasn't woken yet, Auron thought.
Yuna noticed Auron and bowed, "Sir Auron, you are awake."
Auron nodded in acknowledgement.
As the hours passed people woke up, the last being Rikku, when Auron did not see Wakka he finally asked, "Where is Wakka?"
Rikku scratched the side of her head, pondering this, "Uhm, I think he's still in his room."
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Hmm," Auron thought, he is usually one of the first one's up, "I will go get him."
Yuna nodded again and everyone engaged in conversation, about where their next stop was, Macalania Temple and idle chit chat.
Auron made his way into the hall and to Wakka's room; he stood there for a moment before knocking.
"Who's it?" Wakka asked, sounding tired.
"It's-" Apologize, Auron's conscience nagged him, "Auron."
There was a sound of shuffling from inside, after a while Auron began to wonder if Wakka was going to open the door. Have I hurt him? Auron asked himself, for some reason the thought of hurting Wakka made him cringe. A moment later Wakka opened the door, he looked fine.
"I apologize if I hurt you," Auron said, sounding very sincere.
Wakka blushed, "I'm fine." He mumbled.
They stood there a moment, awkwardly until Wakka stepped closer to the older man kissed him chastely. Auron smiled under Wakka's lips and responded vehemently, tongue slipping into the other's mouth to intertwine with the tongue inside. The door closed behind Wakka and Auron pushed him into, their chests pressed together so tightly made it hard for them to breath, but neither seemed to mind.
Wakka let his hands rest on Auron's chest while Auron's right hand dug through Wakka's hair, his left hand, per usual hang aloof in his robe.
They heard a shout from the side and turned to see Tidus staring at them, "Whoa, uhm. We're heading out." Tidus mumbled before turning and making his way back into the lobby.
Wakka blushed and banged his head against the wall while Auron laughed, whole-heartedly, for the first in a long time.
