Now, onto the story.
Enjoy!
Four weeks quickly flew by; Firion and Tidus's relationship strengthening and evolving daily even after that crazy weekend when shit hit the fan. Everything transcended from something completely disastrous to something extraordinary phenomenal. Having Tidus explain just a little bit of his past at a time still irked Firion a little but he was never one to push someone so he wouldn't start now. Especially not to the blonde currently curled up next to him in their bed.
Tidus was quite an odd ball yet no matter his little quirks, Firion found the younger utterly adorable and amusing.
Tidus had a knack for bringing smiles to people's faces regardless if he had never met them before. Firion believed the small saying 'a ray of fucking sunshine' fitted Tidus's personality to a T.
It was strange how Tidus quickly moved on from that night. Maybe it was because Firion was there? Firion was so angered by that event... hell he was still frustrated that someone did that. Then again, it did happen to other people. It's not like sexual assault never happened before. But... but this was Tidus that it happened to. Though Tidus never out right said that he wanted protection, Firion knew that the boy needed some. Tidus was strong, no doubt about that, but when memories of his past intertwine with the present the boy became lost in the haze of the past. People say to just forget it and move on but sometimes, it just wasn't so easy.
Whatever happened, the person wanted to break Tidus's soul but they only managed to scar him thanks to Squall's interference. They both came out of whatever happened with remembrances; physical and mental scaring.
If only Tidus would...
That's what frightened Firion still. What really happened to him to make Tidus clam up like that? He still could remember how terribly painful his heart pounded that night when he saw his blonde sitting on the floor with Cloud trying to snap him out of it. Maybe... it was a good thing that it happened? Firion berated himself for thinking it but, if... if that never happened, would they really be here, together, right now? Would Firion have expressed his feelings to Tidus the following day?
It seemed that everything happened for a reason; good or bad, everything had a purpose.
The smile that bloomed on Tidus's face when Firion told him that he wanted them to go out was still etched in the latter's mind. Heck, he too was overly entranced by the entire concept that they were together. Why it was so hard for him to come out and say it to his lively roommate that he harbored feelings for him, Firion didn't remember anymore.
Shit, Firion was really falling hard for the sports ace. Whatever Tidus was doing to him, Firion knew that he was under Tidus's spell. Tidus belonged with Firion and that's how Firion liked it.
The silverette, propped up on his right arm, pulled his hand through the unruly spikes of blonde hair that feathered across his pillow. Snowflakes had blanketed the ground once more in their cool white covering and the nights and days grew colder. Winter was settling in which was both a good thing and a bad thing.
Classes were still in session for the next two weeks till finals were over and the students were finally released for winter break. A full month of doing nothing. Thinking of that... Firion's mind wandered to where Tidus was going to be heading. Was he going to go back to visit his father over the break? Hell... what was Firion going to do? Everything he practically owned was here in the dorm so it wasn't like he was missing out on anything. When Tidus inquired about Firion's past one night, the silverette told him about the town of Altair he came from. It wasn't the best place to grow up but while there, Firion did meet great friends: Leon, Guy and Maria.
Firion and Leon going to the same university then over time, Leon began acting differently. The man was became withdrawn from social networking and focused all his time and energy into his studies. For goodness sakes he was only a sophomore in college! Yes the criminal justice courses were tough but, Firion didn't know what exactly was causing his friend such inner turmoil. Firion was going to confront him on it but Leon wouln't hear it and they argued. At the end of that semester, Leon just dropped out of college and... it was as if he simply vanished. Gone.
Not he, Maria or Guy ever heard from Leon ever again. Well actually, Maria said that she had talked with him one last time before Leon vanished. She informed Firion that Leon had gone to Fynn City and that was the end of it. Maria still fretted over where Leon was now since that had been two years ago they last heard from their friend. The silverette still had close communications with his long time friends Guy and Maria, so all was not lost he guessed.
Yet it really didn't matter now. Leon chose his path and Firion chose his; and down his road, Firion just happened to cross paths with an energetic blonde who didn't know the meaning of 'quiet'- save for when he was asleep. Smiling some at Tidus's still sleeping form, Firion enjoyed racing his hands through the boy's exquisitely soft, sun kissed hair.
Tidus always seemed to have a thing for hair though. He couldn't keep his hands off of Firion's silver strands so it came as to no surprise to find that Tidus kept his own hair in good condition. Again, another one of the blonde's quirks that Firion found most endearing. Firion thoroughly enjoyed it when Tidus brushed his hair and played with it. Ok so they both had a hair fetish... so what?
Glancing over at the clock, Firion rolled his eyes at the time: 9:30AM. Shit why did he always wake up so early? It was a Saturday morning for crying out loud. Tidus would have a heart attack if he himself woke up that early. The blonde never got up early (the only exception were classes). Hell even then the kid was like a walking zombie at 10:30AM.
It was really amusing to say the least.
Tidus rolled in his sleep, turning his body to face Firions, and grabbed at the white cloth adorning the elder's chest. That was another thing Firion found amusing; Tidus seemed to grab for him in his sleep. He enjoyed having the younger man sleeping next to him even if Tidus did want to take over the entire bed in his sleep... Guess it was a good thing that Firion slept on the side pushed up against the wall for if it were the other way around, poor Firion would need to take up permanent residence on the floor for sleep.
Pulling the smaller body closer, Firion nuzzled his head into he mass of blonde hair situated right underneath his nose. Smell of citrus components came from Tidus and Firion found himself having a strange craving for mangoes. Maybe a vacation to the beach... the Besaid Islands were rather popular... maybe he'd take Tidus there sometime?
Closing his eyes, Firion envisioned Tidus in a swim suit... oh... god... shit no no no... mind elsewhere. Books. Yes books. Books are fantastic. A personal gateway to a world of imagination and possibilities. Tidus was actually really into fantasy and adventure. The Lord of the Rings being one of his favorites. Didn't they make a movie trilogy a while ago?
"Mmn... Firion..."
Grey eyes snapped open at the small sound coming from Tidus's lips. Was... was he...?
"Yes..."
Oh good lord...This was not doing Firion any good. Not. At. All. The little problem that he got under control called in the cavalry.
"Pancakes smell... good..."
Firion deflated immediately; his libido just got one hell of an ass kicking. Tidus wasn't thinking about him, he was thinking about fucking pancakes!
So Firion had a knack for making awesome pancakes... well, you know what they say, a way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Two weeks ago when they were at Squall and Cloud's apartment yet again hanging out, Firion just so happened to be the first one to wake up that Saturday morning and so he decided to make pancakes. Easy right? Yeah, that's what he thought until a pair of footsteps padded down the hallway followed by another... then another... all requesting for Firion to make them some. And then more. Cloud and Squall needed to get more Bisquick...
Squall and Cloud were really remarkable people; same could be said for Light and Cecil. Firion wondered what they were going to be doing for the holiday break... maybe they all could go to Besaid? That'd be a hell of an awesome vacation plan. They could rent one of those beach houses and walk down to the shoreline everyday and hit the board walks. Wasn't there a beach amusement park there as well? Guess they'd have to do some exploring.
Fun times seemed to occur whenever the group was together.
Tidus moved again and this time Firion was greeted with cool blue eyes still bleary from sleep. "G'mornin' Rosebud."
"To you as well. Have a nice sleep?" Firion kissed the top of Tidus's head.
Yawning widely, Tidus snuggled closer to his other bed partner. "Mn...."
"You really going back to sleep?" Seriously hadn't the kid slept enough?
"M'sleepy... S'too early..." The blonde hardly moved a muscle, still content with being curled up in the warm bed as opposed to exposing himself to the cooler air. As much as he enjoyed the winter season, summer was just made for him.
Firion chuckled. It must be early if Tidus was speaking with unfinished sentences. "C'mon, get up. I'm not going to lay in bed all day."
"..." Silence was Firion's only response.
"Get up." Firion pulled away from the sudden attachment glued to his front.
"...no..." Tidus wormed closer, placed his head atop Firion's broad chest and nuzzled it."So warm..."
"It'd be warmer if you put your sweatshirt on instead of wearing your sleeping clothes." Firion sat up and suppressed a laugh as he watched Tidus's head fall back onto the bed. Seriously it was now 10:15AM... the day was being wasted away. They only had this week before the finals week plague tore across the entire campus.
"Whyyy..." Tidus whined, groping for the pillow.
"Because we need to study."
"I refuse." Tidus rolled onto his stomach and buried his head underneath the pillow.
Firon rolled his eyes. When Tidus's childish side made an appearance sometimes, it either amused you or annoyed you. This time it was the latter. "You can't refuse to study."
"Watch me."
Shimmying off the bed, Firion stood at the foot of it, gripped the down comforter and stripped it from Tidus's form. Seriously, if Tidus wanted to get any studying done he needed to be a little more enthusiastic committing to it. Finals were in two weeks and then they'd be free for winter break. It would really suck to come all this way and then totally bomb the final just because he was too lazy to get out of bed. Firion wasn't going to let the blonde get away with without studying.
Tidus groaned, curling in on himself. All he wanted was to sleep in a little more; it was a Saturday morning! Wasn't there some law or something about waking up earlier than twelve on Saturday? "Firion! Why are you so cruel?"
"Get up." Dropping the comforter on the floor, Firion turned and crossed his arms over his chest at Tidus's refusal to get up.
Peeking an eye open, Tidus pursed his lips at Firion's persistence. "Make me."
A wolfish grin slid into place on Firion's face. "Is that an invitation?" He knew Tidus was still tipping on the realm of sleep so his awareness wasn't... so keen.
"Mm... Whatever ya want..."
Crawling back up the bed, Firion pulled Tidus's legs down towards him, making the younger furrow his eyebrows in confusion. "What're ya doin?"
"Waking you up." Firion crawled on top of Tidus so that his legs were straddling the smaller boy's waste. Leaning down, the silverette kissed Tidus's lips before trailing his fervent kiss down the blonde's neck. Letting his tongue slip out, Firion licked the junction between the neck and shoulder, making Tidus squirm.
"F-Firion..." Tidus was becoming more aware of the situation he got himself into as he felt Firion dominate him.
"Mmhmm?" Now was time for retaliation from earlier.
Tidus couldn't respond for the feeling of Firion's hot, wet tongue dancing across his quickly heating flesh sent pangs of pleasure up and down the bonde's body. Gripping onto Firion's strong arms, Tidus turned his head to the right, allowing Firion more room for his tongue to roam. The silverette loved it when Tidus flushed like that; it made his cuteness all the more apparent. They hadn't gone all the way yet nor had they done anything else so sexually exciting. Sure they had heated make out sessions but it didn't hurt to do a little more.
So maybe this was time for Firion to change that.
Taking his left hand, Firion ran it underneath Tidus's blue t-shirt, feeling the smooth planes of the younger's stomach until he came to pert rosy nipples at the top. Tidus squirmed again when he felt Firion toy with his hardening pink nubs; it felt so fucking good.
Firion was simply exploring Tidus's body since they'd never been so intimate before. He was learning what small touches made Tidus writhe, mewl, what say you, as well as the small spot behind his ear that had the blonde arching off the bed in pleasure. The silverette found that his smaller lover had a weak spot located right underneath his ear so he decided to exploit it. Bringing his lips up from Tidus's neck, Firion nipped and licked his way across the sensitive skin, making Tidus's breath hitch.
"Firion... ngh..." Shit just what was Firion doing to him? Feeling the elders' larger hands ghosting over his body was simply magical, especially when he played with that sensitive spot on his neck under his ear. When Firion's teeth nibbled on the spot, Tidus couldn't help but let out a small moan of appreciation.
Releasing the tortured flesh, Firion silenced Tidus's small show of affection with his own lips. "Shhh... keep it down."
Tidus blushed harder, realizing what he had just done. Damn, his body was betraying him!
Firion smirked then went back to the neglected area, earning a muffled moan of pleasure from Tidus. This was too amusing, watching Tidus struggle with not making noise. Pulling Tidus's shirt up more, revealing more of the tanned flesh underneath it, Firion kissed his way up the blonde's stomach towards his pecks. Swirling his tongue around the right pink nub, Firion let his other hand toy with the left one. Tidus gripped at Firion's silver locks, pulling them as Firion attacked the sensitive flesh.
Releasing Tidus's nipple, Firion looked up and smirked. "You like that?"
Tidus wasn't able to respond seeing that he was completely entranced by his silver haired lover before him and Firion didn't seem to instigate a response as he leaned in a little closer, barely touching his lips against Tidus's. Tidus went to kiss him back before he realized that Firion wasn't exactly kissing him at the moment but was brushing his lips over his own. His heart thudded in his chest as he felt soft, pink lips gently glide over his own and almost immediately his body began to respond from the intimate gesture.
Firion paused in his motion, keeping his lips barely pressed up against his furiously blushing lovers'. Tidus's head was positively spinning from all this and he couldn't help but let out a soft whimper as his body begged him to take control and pull Firion flush up against him.
He didn't need to, though, since as soon as Tidus let out that soft whimper Firion's lips pressed forward and captured the sports ace in a searing, heated kiss; his tongue immediately seeking entrance into the blonde's mouth and stroking Tidus's as soon as that permission was granted.
Tidus let out a moan as Firion took control of the kiss and let his body be drawn closer to the larger man. He wrapped his arms around Firion's neck as the other ran his hands up and down Tidus's body and he was sure that it wouldn't be long before Firion felt what exactly he was doing to the blonde's body.
There was no space between their bodies as their kiss turned more passionate, causing the young blond to moan once more. Firion had total control of him and Tidus was all too happy to let himself fall victim to the passion that was building between them. He was sure by now Firion could feel him hard against him and to his utter fascination, he could feel Firion too. This caused yet another throaty moan to escape the blond into Firion's mouth before something mind-blowing completely caught Tidus off guard.
Using the extremely heated kiss as a distraction, Firion slipped his right hand into Tidus's black sleep pants and grasped the heated flesh buried within them that was demanding attention. Firion had felt it pressing against his knee that was currently in between Tidus's legs. As soon as his dexterous fingers clasped around the organ, Tidus bit his lip so fiercely trying not to moan that he made himself bleed. As the driblets of blood rolled down his chin, Firion grinned yet again and licked the crimson away before kissing Tidus.
Seemed like the blonde was trying very hard not to cry out in sheer enjoyment. "I want you so badly right now Tidus."
Chest heaving, Tidus ran his hand through Firion's silvery bangs. "Then what's stopping you Rosebud?"
Firion's chest swelled with great pride at the knowing that he was making Tidus come undone like this. The way Tidus's body squirmed underneath Firion's touches sent sharp jolts of pleasure right to the silverette's cock that was demanding attention. "Shit... Tidus..."
The poor blonde couldn't help but thrust into the hand closed around his own member. "Please... Firion..." Damn, when was he into begging for what he wanted? ... Aw hell who cared? Tidus wanted release... he wanted it now and Firion was in the perfect position to help him with that.
Firion gazed deep within lust filled blue orbs. "Tidus..."
"Firion... please." Tidus stared back into Firion's own twin pools of grey. He was ready for this. Right?
Firion leaned his head against Tidus's own. "We aren't going all the way Tidus."
As much as he craved it, Firion knew that Tidus was still a little on edge about whatever happened. Hell the younger still had yet to enlighten Firion on what happened. Bits and pieces of information slipped out every once in a while either by the blonde himself or one of his companions. Mainly Squall but then again, the brunette only dished out that one helping of information after the club event. Cloud was next the day after when they brought up the situation with Light.
Everyone had their own view on what had happened but what was it from Tidus's point of view? That was what Firion wanted to know and he wouldn't do anything until he knew the entire story from Tidus's lips. Call it mean but he had his reasons for not going all the way with Tidus right now. As much as Tidus said he was ready, the silverette knew otherwise.
"What? I-I..." Tidus thought he was ready for this but maybe... fuck he wasn't. He kept telling himself that he'd be fine when they had sex for the first time but he just couldn't do it. Tidus still hand't told Firion what happened... The poor blonde was worrying now that he had ruined their moment and Firion seemed to catch on to the boy's thoughts.
"It's fine Tidus, don't worry about it alright? I'll take care of everything." That being said, Firion pulled Tidus's black sleeping pants down to his knees in one swift tug, releasing the other's heated member as it stood proudly, finally released from its confinements.
Feeling himself being exposed to a hungry set of eyes, Tidus squirmed under Firion's gaze. The way the elder was staring at him made all these exotic emotions erupt within Tidus's mind. He wanted Firion to seriously flip him over and fuck him senselessly into the bed. He didn't care if the other students would hear them, he just wanted Frion now.
But... what if... what if Firion did it then left him? Is Firion only using Tidus for a quick fuck? No, Firion wasn't like that. Tidus berated himself for thinking that Firion would simply dump him like that. His silver haired lover was most definitely not like him. Firion wouldn't do that like he-
Tidus cried out in blissful pleasure as he felt his cock's head being taken in by Firion's moist lips. Blue eyes glanced downwards, meeting Firion's silver. Tidus grasped Firion's hair and tugged, making Firion's head dip down further onto Tidus's heated erection. Firion moaned at the feeling of his hair being tugged, the vibrations sending lightning shrills of pleasure up Tidus's body. It's as if everything was amplified that very moment. Poor Tidus couldn't hold on for much longer. It'd been so long since he'd done anything like this.... It never felt so good.
Firion's lips danced down to the base of Tidus's member toward the blonde strands that decorated the base. While his tongue did wonders to the mewling boy's lower body, Firion's right hand toyed with the slit at the top of Tidus's cock.
Tidus felt like he was going to explode. These sensual touches Firion was delivering to his overly heated body made Tidus see stars even before he hit his orgasmic peak. Just knowing that it was his silver haired roommate turned lover who was doing these sexually pleasing touches made Tidus near closer to the peak. Feeling the tightening in his stomach, the blonde knew that he was reaching the end.
"F-Firion... I..." Tidus put his arm over his eyes, hiding himself from his bed partner.
The elder male released Tidus's cock from his mouth but not his hand as he pulled the boy's arm away from his face. "I want to see you Tidus. Don't hide."
Firion wanted to see Tidus's face when he came; he wanted to watch the blonde soar into an untended region of pure bliss.
Tidus's blushing face and delicious gasps of pleasure gave Firion another boost of confidence as he descended on his smaller partner, intending on finishing the job. Sealing his lips tightly over the crown of Tidus's weeping erection, Firion lapped up the pre-cum that pearled at the head before it could descend lower. Fuck... he wanted to take Tidus right then and there. The blonde had no idea how sexy he looked right there quietly moaning and writhing on their bed. But Firion's desires had to be put on the back burner; Tidus came first.
Swallowing in more of the younger's engorged member, Firion let out a deep moan, allowing Tidus his long overdue release. The boy arched lovingly off the bed towards Firion, grasping the silver hair like weight that kept him from flying away. Flinging his head backwards onto the pillow, Tidus desperately held onto reality as he came. The blonde's orgasm ripped through his body so fiercely that he didn't come back from his high till a good minute after he sent his seed shooting into Firion's awaiting mouth.
The silver haired boy tried holding Tidus's jerking hips down as the boy gave him all his essence. Firion's cock was straining something terrible in his pants as he watched Tidus go over the edge. The boy's shirt was still pushed up to his upper chest, allowing Firion's gaze to rake over the boy's lithe and muscular form as the muscles rippled from the orgasm.
It was so hot....
Firion shoved his hand down into his own sleeping pants and gripped his aching cock. He felt himself nearing the edge but was stopped when he felt Tidus slip out from underneath him and re-appear sitting before him. "Tidus?"
"Let me..." Before Firion could ask what exactly the sun kissed blonde had in mind, his cock was grasped with Tidus's hands. The boy's right hand pumped Firion quickly, trying to pull the elder over the edge like him. Firion's head rolled back at the feeling of Tidus jerking him off; one hand tugging on his member while the other busied itself with Firion's sac, groping them, furthering Firion's orgasm.
Tidus leaned up, sealing his lips over Firion's own, and tasted himself on the silverettes tongue. Shit it was making his once softening erection begin to cry for attention once more. Still jerking Firion's cock, Tidus moaned into the elder's mouth as he felt Firion come into his hand and over his chest. Firion pulled the blonde's body tight against him and deepened already impossibly passionate kiss.
Firion saw stars as his strong orgasm raced through his entire body from head to toe. Coming down from his high, Firion noticed that he wasn't the only one who came... It seemed that Tidus had released another load along with him. Grinning from ear to ear, Firion nuzzled Tidus's neck. "That was fantastic... You're so hot."
Threading his hands through Firion's silky silver strands, Tidus mirrored Firion's smile. "And that was one hell of a wake up."
"Do you plan on sleeping in more often?" Firion kissed the blonde's neck, making the boy giggle.
"Hmmm... maybe. Depends on what the night was like before." Tidus's blue eyes took on another heated glaze.
"I told you I wasn't going to do anything in the bathroom!" Oh how could he have forgotten? Tidus had cornered him after class and tugged poor frustrated Firion towards the nearest bathroom and locked the main door so no one else could get in. There, Tidus wanted to help Firion release his pent up frustration but the elder refused... sorta. A hot make-out session was broken up when Tidus's cell phone buzzed with a text message from Cecil asking where the two were since it was time they met up for dinner. Huh... fifteen minutes had never passed by so quickly.
"Mmmm... but you were much happier after though right?" Tidus smirked like a cat who caught the mouse.
"Yes, yes I did." Firion leaned the younger's head back and kissed him, snaking his tongue into Tidus's mouth. Caressing Tidus's face, Firion released, much to Tidus's obvious disappointment, and got off the bed. "Come, we need to take a shower."
"Is that an invitation?" Tidus trailed his gaze down Firion's body towards the man's pants line.
Hooking a finger into his loose pants, Firion pulled them down some, revealing lean hip muscle. "Whatever you want."
xxxxxxx
It was a good thing that the university practically had an unlimited amount of hot water supply. The bathroom was nothing but a steam room and when the wooden door finally opened after an hour, the steam literally poured out into their dorm room, making the floor damp, but heating the room more nonetheless. They had gone another round whilst trying to clean themselves after their morning tumble.
Fully clothed with casual jeans and a grey sweatshirt, Tidus flopped back down on the bed and sighed. "Do we really have to go study?"
"Tidus..." Firion knew the younger despised cracking open the seven hundred white paged book but in order to progress, that daunting task needed to be done. The plan was for them to study for only three hours then meet up with the others to just chill and relax before hell week started up.
"Yeah... I know. I just hate studying; It's not fun." Tidus groaned out, clasping his hands behind his head.
Slipping on his black jacket, Firion threw over Tidus's own white heavy coat. Contrary to Firion's like for the cold, the younger really did get quite cold in the winter months; but hey, that only gave Firion another excuse to warm him up right? "C'mon Tidus."
Rolling lazily off the bed, Tidus grabbed the coat, put it on and gathered up his backpack with the heavy studying material. "As soon as these classes are done I'm burning these books."
"Don't you even think about it." Shutting the door behind him, Firion caught up to the shorter male, pleading with him not to follow through with his plans.
"Calm down there Rosebud, I kinda like living thank you very much." Tidus laughed, pressing the down arrow on the elevator pad.
"You know, we could always make studying a little more interesting." Firion quirked his head to the side, thinking of better ways to ensure that they retain the information they would be looking over.
"Hmm... like what?" The metal elevator doors opened with a ding allowing Tidus and Firion to enter. Turing around, Tidus quickly found himself pushed up against the back of the metal wall panels with Firion looming over him.
"If you do well, you'll be rewarded." Leaning down, Firion kissed Tidus's lips as the boy's shocked expression morphed into one of contentment.
Yet as soon as Tidus was getting into the heated kiss, Firion pulled away when they reached the main floor. Firion laughed, watching Tidus fluster some and hurridly exit the elevator after him. "Firion that was not fair!"
Maybe it wasn't fair but Firion knew what he was doing. That morning had proved to be quite amazing and the silverette was still reeling from the events that played out earlier. And he wasn't lying about the fact that if Tidus did do well, he'd be rewarded. Just what was happening to Firion? Before, he was so one track minded with school and fulfilling his educational degree that he sort of forgot how to simply... have fun.
Grasping Tidus's hand with his own, Firion interlaced their fingers as they walked towards the library. A grey accumulation of snow clouds hovered heavily above their heads blocking out the sun as a chilly wind tore across the open grounds. The ground was already covered in a light dusting from last night and it seemed like it was only going to get worse. Hopefully, the snow would hold off till exams were done and over with. It would be really hard for students, and teachers, to traipse through the snow and drive in it to make it to class for the final exams. Would the university close the school for a week if it did snow during finals?
Probably not. The administrators wanted to get the hell out of this place too for their own break.
"Gah, it's so cold! Where's the sun?" Tidus burrowed his face further into the neckline of his jacket, walking closer towards Firion's body.
The cold really didn't bother Firion honestly. Releasing his hand with Tidus's, the silver haired man put his arm across Tidus's back, hugging the younger closer to him as they continued their walk to the library. With that, the blonde shoved both of his hands deep into his coat pockets, trying to protect them from the winter air.
"Y'know, I was thinking about what we could do for break. Did you have any plans?" Firion turned his head towards Tidus, grinning at the boy's already reddening nose.
"Not really. My dad's away on business so I really don't want to bother him."
"How is he?" Maybe it was a little sneaky but, Firion wanted to learn more about Tidus's past and by instigating this conversation, he might be able to find out more.
"He's good. Really good actually according to the last email he sent on friday." Tidus brightened up. "He got a huge promotion so now he, and Auron are working right under the new President of Bevelle Corporations, Braska Sato. Dad says that he just pushes tons of paperwork but I still think there's more to what he and Auron do there. Guess it's some kinda secret." Tidus laughed. "I wanna find out!"
Firion couldn't help but join in on the laughter. Tidus had always been too curious for his own good.
"But anyways, what'd you have in mind Rosebud?" Gorgeous blue eyes glance over at Firion.
"Well, I was thinking that we- you, Squall, Cloud, Light and Cecil- could all go to the Besaid Islands and spend Christmas there... If you want to that is, I don't want to take you away from your family."
"Huh? Really?! Oh that'd be so awesome! Firion you and the others are practically my extended family so I'm completely for this trip." Tidus beamed with excitement, making Firion swell with pride. He loved making Tidus happy and... Tidus thought of Firion as part of his family? The silver haired male's heart melted some, as sappy as that sounded. "Hey what about your friends from home though? Don'tcha want to see'em?"
"Hm? Maria and Guy?"
"Yeah, those two. And wait, what about Leon?" Tidus's eyebrows came together in confusion. "Still havent' heard from him?"
Shaking his head and looking up at the clouds, Firion sighed. "Nope. And neither have they. Well, Maria said she heard something about him heading over to Fynn... but that was all she knew; if it was even true that it."
"Fynn? Isn't that the city where the crime rate is off the charts? Shit Rosebud what the hell is your friend doing there?" From what Firion had enlightened Tidus on, he, Firion, had come from a not so good neighborhood. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't your friendly neighbor who asks for a cup of flour kind of place. Leon had always had a strong passion for criminal justice and understanding the psychology behind deviant behavior so when Firion and he headed to Quintylnn and then Leon suddenly dropping out, the silverette just had to wonder what the fuck happened to his friend.
"I really don't know Tidus. But, it really doesn't matter now... I just hope he's ok. Leon probably has a reason for why he did it but it still sort of hurts that he didn't tell any of us..."
"It does matter Firion, he's your friend." Narrowing his eyes some with worry, Tidus angled his head downwards.
Firion really didn't know what to say to that. Yeah, he still wondered about what happened to Leon but... the guy made his decision and it wasn't like Firion, Maria or Guy hadn't tried to find him. It was really like Leon dropped off the face of the earth. "We have tried looking for him Tidus; it's like he doesn't want to be found."
"What if he does want to be found and he can't call out for help?" Tidus quietly inquired.
"Leon in trouble? HA, it'd be the other people I'd worry for." Firion ruffled Tidus's mop of blonde hair lovingly. Leon was a strong individual, there would be no way he'd be dragged into a sticky situation.
"I guess. Still, it wouldn't hurt to try now would it? You never know." The blonde's determination to find Firion's friend had the taller male smile with happiness. Tidus had such a caring heart. "So, what're we going to do at Besaid?"
"Well there's tons of stuff to do down there according to the website."
"You put research into this?" Laughing, Tidus leaned his head on Firion's right shoulder. "That's so like your Rosebud. Tomes of Minerva researcher Rosebud. Has a nice ring to it neh?"
"Shut up, you know I've be completely fascinated with the ancient writings since forever ago."
"He stop messin' with the hair!" Tidus grimaced as his Firion messed up his once tidy hair.
"But I love your hair Tidus. I merely do it out of affection."
"Affectionate my ass Rosebud." Tidus stuck his tongue out.
"Put that away unless you plan on using it." Leaning in closer, Firion moved so close towards Tidus's face that he could feel the other's breath against his own lips. They had stopped walking and now both were standing in the middle of the pathway merely fifty feet from the library. Smirking at Tidus's blush, the elder connected his lips with Tidus's, snaking his tongue into the shorter male's mouth.
There was just something really hot and exhilarating about making out in a semi-public place. Well, there weren't that many people walking around in the cold and hardly anyone used the back entrance into the library that Firion and Tidus just so happened to be at. Tidus's backpack dropped to the ground and the younger wrapped his arms around his taller lover's neck, pulling himself upwards to deepen the kiss as Firion leaned further down. The blonde athlete's hands wound themselves into Firion's silky locks as the other pulled Tidus closer towards his body, wrapping his arms around his waist.
In between the hot kissing session, Tidus just had to put in his thoughts. "I... thought we... were... supposed to be.... studying..."
