Chapter two in the remembrance series. it appears that tidus + Auron + Yuna = ANGST
who knew?
Oh yah! i do not own Tidus or FFX. for that i hate you square... (sour grapes)
The blonde guardian stood on the deck of the airship staring into the setting sky. He pulled out the cerulean blue blade Brotherhood, a gift from Wakka. Stepping into fighting position he began to practice. Beginning with a horizontal swipe he pulled back, going in with a vertical slice then jumping up during the upward swing and pushing down with a downward slash.
His movements became almost dancelike, hypnotic. thrusting forwards, pulling back. Leaping into the air with power and performing the technique Rikku called Spiral cut then going in with jabs of the sword and swipes overhead. the movements were not rough or choppy but smooth and controlled.
Feeling someones eyes on him again Tidus turned, meeting Aurons gaze.
He tried to keep all trace of emotions out of his face as Auron could read him like a book, But of course Auron knew something was up.
His one brown eye locked gazes with the blondes cerulean ones.
Auron stepped forward to the front of the deck and sat down, stretching out his legs. Tidus joined him.
"So you're an unsent huh." The blonde guardian was almost surprised that he had spoken, he had never meant to say this out loud.
Auron ignored the question, asking his own instead "Enough. Whats wrong"
Tidus started. "Nothings wrong." He shot the man a WTH look, arching one eyebrow.
"I don't care for lies." Auron growled.
Tidus swallowed, the game was up. He had no choice but to tell Auron.
"That day, when I blacked out on Gagazet I had a dream. I wanted to believe that it was just a dream but its not. It seemed to complicated at the time and now I have one option. I made a promise to Yuna but I'm terrified to carry it out… When I collapsed on gagazet I dreamed of zanarkand. there I met a fayth, the same fayth the appeared to me in the temple and the day I left zanarkand. It told me that I was a… dream. That I never existed…"
" If sin is destroyed the dream of the city will be destroyed with it, and taking me as well."
Tidus stared at his hands. "Either I die or Yuna dies, and I can't let her die. So that leaves only one option… My death."
He stared at the sunset. "How do I tell her goodbye, Auron. If I tell her she won't go through with it and if the doesn't my old man will be stuck as sin forever. How can I do this knowing that I'm walking to my own death as well?"
Throughout the rant Auron had noticed something. Tidus was shaking violently, his muscles contracting but his eyes remained crystal clear.
"Your not crying?"
Tidus could hear Aurons quiet statement, but refused to answer it. A haunting look passed into those pained aqua eyes. It would seem that the emotions inside him were tearing him apart.
In the distance the hymn of the fayth started to play and they could hear the voices of everyone in Spira start to sing. First a low hum, gradually building into a lilting song.
Auron stood behind Tidus and placed his hand on the blondes shoulder. He had to react quickly to catch the collapsing blonde before he fell off the airship. Auron sighed, pulling the blond guardian to the wall of the airship and sitting down, placing Tidus on his lap and wrapping his arms around him just like the way he had as a child. It seemed more natural now than before. The last time Tidus had a mental breakdown was in Luca. Auron waited for the Tidus to awaken, thinking about seeing his charge for the first time in Spira.
ALL OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT! GETTING SWALLOWED UP BY SIN! WINDING UP IN SPIRA, EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!
Auron watched the blonds breakdown as Tidus finally vented what had been pushing at him ever since appearing in Spira. It was not good for the boy to hold everything back. He tried that with his father but just wound up hurting himself. Auron was glad he had found his charge and told him about Jecht, before he had to find out from some other way.
He knew Tidus feelings about his father from when he was a child, yet the boy was so much like him Auron had to laugh. Yet he knew that Tidus was scared. He was torn away from everything he knew because his father wanted him to come. "Are you afraid?"
Tidus had looked surprised. "I may be an 'old man' as you put it but you forget. I've lived with you most of your life."
"Where do we go from here Auron?"
Auron laid his gloved hand on the boys shoulder.
"Tell me. Will you indeed become a guardian to Yuna?"
Again Tidus was surprised but recovered quickly. "Yeah. I'm going to do it. I have to see it for myself."
Auron nodded in approval "Come I'm going to offer my services to Yuna."
