Chapter 4: All's Fair In Some Game (is it just me or am I really bad at titles?)
Paine slowly shook Rikku again before whispering "We need to at least get into a bed."
Rikku stirred a little and muttered something about why were they cold and was she a good thief before rolling over and almost putting Paine in a death grip. She grinned before falling back into total unconsciousness.
Paine grinned to herself and giggled a little at the sound of Rikku snoring. She's so cute when she sleeps. She must have gotten way drunk because she won't respond to anything. Oh well at least I'll try to make us presentable. With that thought Paine stood up, it was indeed difficult to get Rikku to unclamp her arms from Paine's waist, and tried to shake the sand from her body. Leather, she found out, attracts sand in the smallest of places.
She quickly noticed that her gloves were off and laying somewhere she didn't know. She looked at her hands and couldn't remember the last time she had taken them off in public. She gave another smile and was taken back by the full effect Rikku had on her. Oh well time to get ready. She must have taken them off to touch Rikku's skin against her fingertips.
Paine found her gloves quite a few feet away. She was impressed since she didnt remember ever being that careless. Paine quickly got wiped off despite the fact that her head was pounding at a steady pace. She then picked up the unwilling Rikku the best she could.
It turned out to be incredibly difficult because she kept fighting in her sleep. She must have been having a good dream at that time because every once and a while she would let out a low moan and call Paine's name. Paine's face lit up with a deep blush because Rikku was thinking about her like that. Paine easily lifted Rikku up from then on and kept a steady pace to the ship. When she reached the entrance she had a difficult time climbing up. It didn't help that Rikku kept groping her and trying to kiss her.
Must be one hell of a dream. Upon reaching the entrance Paine slowed as to not wake Barkeep. Those damn Hypello have incredibly good hearing. She stumbled up the steps and laid Rikku on her bed. She made sure Rikku was dusted off as well since she knew Rikku hated sleepin in dirt and sand. She didnt cover her but grabbed a spare blanket off the corner chest and covered her. Paine kissed the top of Rikku's forehead and left the girl at that. Paine would easily have tumbled on her own bed but felt the urge to take a shower. She was very dirty. Sand was still in places she couldn't brush off. She weighed her options. Shower it was. She did notice Yuna's bed was untouched.
She sighed as she watched Rikku shift into a more comfortable position hugging her pillow tightly. She slowly pulled offer her leather armor and threw them on the floor. She smirked at how Rikku was missing a show right not. Paine grabbed a clean set of pajamas from her drawer and went down the steps. She thought she heard Rikku wake up and mutter a curse but continued on walking.
The water made her skin warm up fast and she felt better already. Her headache started to subside and her body heat sharted to rise. She thought of the younger girl and felt a small whirpool of need build up in the bottom of her stomach. She shut the water to cold. She needed this right now.
When Paine got out she heard footsteps coming toward the door. They sounded like a drunken person because she would hear an occasional bump on the wall or a thump of someone falling on the ground. She quickly wrapped herself in a towel and was met at the door by an exhausted looking Rikku.
Rikku gave a faint smile but followed it with a yawn. "I need to take a shower to. We got real dirty in the sand huh?"
Paine only nodded and replied "Yeah but when you snore in your sleep it helps me not even think about it. very cute little one. Plus 5 respect points."
Rikku's face gave a slight hurt expression and she stated "I don't snore. Besides, I remember laying on you and then nothing. How did we get back here? And how did I get here?"
Paine sighed and said "I carried you. Next time dont drink so much."
Rikku was now awake and gave a huge grin. She gave a soft thank you and with speed only the thief had she pressed her lips against Paine's. She caught Paine off guard since Paines lips were slightly ajar. Paine obliged quickly and pulled Rikku close but suddenly pulled away. "Your breath is a little harsh for this now."
Rikku giggled and said "Well I guess I'll take a shower."
Rikku walked past Paine and stripped then entered the shower. She didn't even hesitate. Rikku hoped slightly the older girl would need another shower. Paine blushed as she noticed she had watched Rikku undress and get in the shower the whole time with a eager and wantin stare. She shook her head at some thoughts she was inwardly having about another shower and felt the fatigue take over her body. She turned and yelled she was off to bed since it was still before 3am.
She barley made it to her bed when she collapsed on top of it. She struggled to get under the covers and slowly closed her eyes. She thought of how natural it had been to help Rikku and not get embarrassed as she normally would have to see Rikku naked in the shower. She missed the warmth Rikku's body had as she clutched her blankets tighter.
Rikku was happy when Paine said she had brushed her off and carried her to the ship. She felt a little sad when Paine didn't wake her up and invite her to take a shower together. Oh well. I feel a little sad I can't remember the first night in her arms. I guess we'll just have to make up for it in the future.
Rikku turned off the water and changed into her pajamas. She crept back up to their beds and was about to get in her own when she saw Paine. Rikku gave a smile before bypassing her bed and crawling slowly into Paine's.
Paine felt Rikku pull up the covers and moved to better position for them both in the single bed. She asked "What if Yuna or someone were to walk in and see us like this?"
Riku let out a sigh as she snuggled into the crook of Paine's neck and answered "I guess our cover will be blown. I don't care anymore ya know. Do you?"
Paine let out a sigh and replied "Not at all. Beside Yuna has her hands full at the moment don't ya think?" Her arms wrapped tightly around Rikku's waist and hugged her to her chest. This must be heaven. This made Rikku squeal in a mixture of pleasure and fatigue.
They fell asleep like that and the last thing said was Rikku stating she didn't snore. Paine gave a soft laugh and fell into a wonderful dream about what might have happened the previous day before Yuna interrupted them.
