Peeking: Bad Habit

Summary: Back in the very beginning of this... Rikku wasn't as easy with what she was doing as one would think.
A/N: As long as I have inspiration, I will keep posting these. Hope you aren't disappointed this week!

Rikku decided watching Gippal shower was a bad habit. Bad habits were meant to be broken. Thus, if she followed through on her logic meant she should break off watching Gippal shower.

The whole idea had been a whim, a challenge, or a way to pass the time. She scowled and spun in the chair until her legs were over the arms. She didn't know anymore exactly her motivations to placing the commsphere in Gippal's shower. She just had. She hadn't expected to succeed and hadn't expected it to stay in place more than a day. Something that was round, blue and made a slight humming noise when activated was rather difficult to hide. The sound of water was supposed to drown out the hum. She hadn't tested it herself before going through with her half-baked idea of a plan.

There had been for a moment a slight hesitation and a feeling of guilt that she was invading his privacy. She had a critical second to turn back and abandon her course of action. She hadn't, because overall she hadn't expected it to work.

She half figured that Gippal would find it, take it out and since Shinra was the inventor of the commsphere system which limited exactly how many people had access to the objects, she'd expected him to confront her about it. Though she didn't know what she'd say. Most likely deny, deny, deny. The other option was coy and she didn't know if she could pull off coy. Or, he could've cannibalized it for parts. Or just taken it down and not said anything. She hadn't expected no response whatsoever, that the commsphere would just stay hidden, collecting condensation every super hot shower.

She tapped the pads of her fingers on the edge of Shinra's desk and bit her bottom lip. The light flashed on the screen indicating there was signal coming from Djose. She closed her eyes.

"Watch the commsphere network." Anikki ordered. Her brother didn't know that he was putting temptation in front of her. It was a temptation she had created herself and if she hadn't put a commsphere in Gippal's shower there wouldn't be temptation. It was her own fault, and it was her brother's for assigning her this boring duty.

She opened her eyes and turned her head to stare out the bridge windows. She wouldn't give in and watch Gippal tilt his head back and let the water stream over his face, defining the cheekbones, beading along the seam of his lips…

She shifted in her chair and snuck a glance at the console. The light blinked benignly at her. Her hand moved towards the screen. She jerked it back.

Peeking was wrong. She didn't have the right to spy upon him. She gnawed on her bottom lip and stared at the list of possible commspheres. Any moment another would light up and give her the excuse to ignore Gippal's muscled body and delicious neck that she wanted to lick water from and suck on the skin.

Sweat formed along her palms and down her back. Distraction, she needed another person to call, some other signal to drown out the remotely activated…

On. Off. On. Off. On. Off.

She squinted her eyes closed, pressing her eyelids together until they hurt, someone else, anyone else, shit, even Clasko. The computer beeped.

She opened one eye.

The same indicator flashed, mocking her. She looked around the bridge, craning her neck. There was no one around.

Bad habits… Gippal's face… Peeking wrong… Temptation… Boring… Distraction

She reached.

Yeah. That was it.

Her hand drew away. A smiled formed on her lips and she relaxed against the arm of the chair.

Gippal…

He rubbed his hands along his skin and cupped around his penis-

She straightened and pressed her lips together to stifle a yelp of shock. That was wrong and grossly unfair. Her face heated and she reached out to shut it off.

He moaned.

Her fingers never made it the rest of the way. She swallowed the sudden rush of saliva in her mouth and leaned back. If breaking bad habits was a rule, then rules were meant to be broken.
