Moments in Time
A Collection of Aurikku Love
For my Seheuh-Lremt
Chapter 4 - Macalania Woods Melody 1
Two things happened.
The first was that I knocked Auron's glasses off his face while fighting a minor fiend.
They broke a second later when I stepped on them.
The second was even less graceful.
Less mature.
"Those weren't expensive, were they?" I asked. I already knew the answer. I didn't wait.
"Fryd dra ramm ys I tuehk drec vun, Cen? E's y vyemina yd ajah esbnaccehk oui silr macc bnudaldehk ran!" I turned and walked away from him.
"Rikku." His voice was quiet.
In the moment of silence following, I turned back to face him. I hadn't noticed that he had come closer until I turned right into his chest. I looked up at him and felt something in me stirring. I could see a hint of it in his eyes, and it didn't matter anymore that I busted his glasses or said all those things.
This was a moment. A moment that I had wanted for so long. Would I, could I, have the courage to stand higher and claim his lips?
And then the moment passed, as moments often do.
I would have to wait for our moment.
And I was never good at waiting
