Chapter Seven
"I'm Reno."
"Reno?"
"So Yuna…why'd you come to this party alone anyway? Most of these people here came with friends," he looked around, his gold eyes shifting uneasily.
"Is something wrong?" Something….doesn't seem right all of a sudden
Reno shook his head and held out a hand in front of her. "Come on, let's go someplace quieter, this is starting to give me a headache," He closed his eyes until she took his hand.
She let him lead her through the sea of people and towards the patio where people were sitting at a couple of tables having drinking competitions. Yuna shook her head as they passed a drunken teen that was stumbling out words of stupidity to one of his friends. Reno led her inside the house and past the people that were having their own party in the living room. Yuna's stomach did a flip as he began leading her up the stairs….
Tidus's party thus far
Tidus immediately left Yuna with a smile. He ran through the crowd of people and made it over to the DJ where Gippal was waiting.
"Took you long enough, where's Yuna?"
"Ditched her," he smirked and punched the air in a victory like action. "Freedom!"
Gippal laughed and shook his head with a sigh, "That's pretty harsh man."
Tidus shrugged and turned to look over the sea of people. He inwardly laughed as he saw Yuna trying to navigate through the crowd. What a loser… He felt slightly guilty when some redheaded jerk pushed her over as he tried to get towards the house. For some odd reason (well to Tidus anyway) he felt the urge to punch the guy out, it was his job to abuse her, not some random guy's.
He watched with a scowl as the red head helped her to her feet. Stupid…..person… The red head began to lead her out of the sea of people, and Tidus pouted while crossing his arms.
"What's your problem brudda?" He felt a hand slam down on his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder to see Wakka and his reddy-orange gravity defying hair staring at him with a smirk.
"Nothin'…." He pouted as he continued to watch Yuna.
"Oh, your lil roommate huh? Gippal told me, pretty harsh man," Wakka shook his head.
"Why does everyone say that?" Tidus cried. "She deserved it!"
Tidus tuned out Wakka when the red head began leading Yuna towards the back entrance to the house. He strained his eyes to try and see who she was with.
"Wakka, who is that?" He pointed.
"Ah, the new center ya?" Wakka smiled, "He's pretty good, much better than Datto," he laughed.
"Okay, but who is he?"
"His name's Reno, he plays some dirty blitz when pissed and he's quite the ladies man, so I'd keep an eye on your lil roommate brudda," Wakka took his hand from Tidus's shoulder and walked off.
Tidus sighed and watched as Yuna and …Reno entered the house. Tidus's eyes widened and he jumped off the stand he was on. He pushed through the crowd and over to the house trying to catch up to them. They had entered the house when he had reached the middle of the crowd; he cursed silently and began to push more and more people out of the way. He reached the house; he walked in and saw across the large room, Reno leading her up the stairs.
"Found 'em," Reno grabbed his keys from the top of a television in Gippal's room.
Yuna shook her head and rolled her eyes. He had her searching under the bed and they were there the whole time.
"You're so smart aren't you?" She smiled as she walked past him.
"Of course," He smirked and followed her out of the room.
Yuna stopped and turned to face him. She laughed softly and he looked at her confused.
"I just thought you had alternative motives when you led me up here," She stared him in the eye looking for any signs of weakness.
He winced and put a hand to his heart. "Ouch, that hurts Yuna, it really hurts!" He placed a hand over his chest.
She laughed again and shook her head. She held out her hand and let him lead her back to the stairs. Yuna gasped when she saw Tidus running up the stairs.
"You guys did it that fast?" He cried.
"What?"
"The hell?" Reno looked taken aback and Yuna placed a hand to her forehead. "Oh….you thought I was gonna…" he trailed off and looked at Yuna.
"Wait, wait…. so you didn't right?"
"Uh no dipshit," Reno rolled his eyes and dropped Yuna's hand. He walked past Tidus and turned to her. "See ya around." He gave a small wave and then bounded down the steps.
Yuna smirked and walked over to Tidus. "So…you were actually worried huh?"
He glared at her. "Like hell I was worried about you…" He crossed his arms and turned away from her.
"I think you were," she walked around and flicked his forehead.
"Go to hell!"
"I will when you do," she began walking down the steps with him following behind her. "Can we go home now? This place was only fun with Reno; you just make it a drag. "
Tidus rolled his eyes and headed for the car. He was going to have to come up with a way to kill her, knock her into a coma…or possibly…drug her…. He smirked as his list continued, he was so preoccupied with his thoughts, that he didn't see the pole in front of him getting closer, and closer…
Yuna laughed as his head made contact with the pole. Aringing noise sounded as the pole vibrated from the impact with his skull. Tidus clutched his head and glared at her.
"You could have warned me that was there!"
"Where would be the fun in that?"
"Go to hell!"
"First I'll need a shovel…."
"…. What?" He cried.
"…Well…I'd have to dig to get there right…"
Tidus began banging his head on the pole. Yuna shook her head and grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him to the car.
"It's okay," she laughed.
"Just shut up!"
"You do know that if you weren't such a jerk, I'd be less annoying right?"
"My ass you would be…"
Yuna crossed her arms and pouted. They were nearly 'home' and she had been, of course, annoying him the whole drive.
"But I would…"
"Can you please just be quiet till we get home." He placed a hand on his forehead in frustration.
She nodded and remained silent the rest of the ride. Tidus had just turned onto his road when a loud rolling thunder was heard above and a grand bolt of lightening flashed across the sky. He looked upwards with a smirk.
Yuna however began shaking, she clenched her eyes shut and sunk down in her seat. Tidus gave her a confused glance before he laughed.
"Oh, you're afraid of thunder storms, aren't you?" He smirked.
"No…."
Another bolt of lightening flashed through the sky and the thunder boomed overhead. Yuna placed her hands over her face.
"That's what I thought…" he continued to drive, and listened to the thunder with a smile.
Tidus turned off the car after he parked it under the side awning. He stepped out of the car and walked over to the side door, he left it open and lazily walked through his house. He stopped in the hall and listened for the door to shut but it never came. He sighed and walked back outside to the car to see her still sitting in the car. He walked over and knocked on the window making her jump.
She stared up at him and slowly opened the door. She silently followed him inside, Tidus was watching her from the corner of his eye, and something about the look she was giving him wasn't right… "GAH!" Yuna jumped on his back with a smile. "What the hell are you doing?"
Yuna simply smiled as he nearly fell over trying to keep himself steady and balanced. She pointed to the kitchen and he sighed: walking into the kitchen with a defeated look.
"I'm hungry…"
"Then fix something…"
"…"
Tidus turned around from his stool next to the bar. "Get out of the ice cream!"
Yuna slammed the freezer shut and pouted. He shook his head and sighed. Why did he have to get her fired?
"Please?"
"We're not doing that again…"
"Fine…" She walked over to the cabinets and pulled out a box of popcorn. "This?"
"Hell no!" He jumped up and grabbed it from her throwing in back with the other boxes of popcorn. He blocked the cabinets with his arms.
"What? Why?" She cried.
"I'm gonna make something with that popcorn!"
"…Um what?"
"Something, and its going to be something big, something …epic!"
Yuna simply backed away and grabbed an apple from a basket of fruit on the counter.
"Whatever…" She walked into the living room.
Tidus smirked and took out the popcorn and opened it, ripping open the bag and throwing it in the microwave. He pressed the 'popcorn' button and walked into the living room with a smile on his face. He snatched the remote from Yuna who hit him with a throw pillow and then sat next to her on the couch.
"What's in the microwave?"
"Popcorn…"
"But you said…"
"I'm making an epic butter bowl of popcorn," He blocked another throw pillow.
"You're a jerk," She pouted and continued to slowly eat the apple.
"And you're an annoying little bitch, but hey, what can you do?"
Tidus jumped up from the couch after being hit with the pillow again and went back to get his popcorn. He looked in his fridge to bring out the butter and grabbed a bowl from the cabinets above his sink. He opened the steaming bag of popcorn and placed a small slab of butter into the bowl and put it in the microwave for a few seconds before taking it out and pouring into the bag. He shook the bag and then poured its contents back into the bowl. He walked back into the living room with a smile.
Yuna glared as he sat down next to her munching the popcorn. He held out the bowl in front of her. She raised her hand and just as she was about to grab a few kernels he moved it away and laughed.
"Nope, mine!"
She sighed and slumped down into the couch. He simply began to watch the TV again. Yuna stood and headed into the kitchen, Tidus watching her back as she left.
"Don't touch my ice cream or popcorn!"
She slowly walked up his steps as quietly as possible. She entered his room and looked around. She walked over to his dresser and picked up a photo of Gippal and him with the rest of his team.
Of course the jerk would have a picture of himself as well… She looked at a giant poster of his face on the wall.
She continued to dig through his belongings. She sighed softly as she pulled out a large basket of junk from underneath his bed. His room was a complete mess…
"What are you doing?" She jumped and turned around to see Tidus glaring at her in his doorway.
Yuna didn't reply.
"Okay, you were annoying before, but now you've gone a little too far!" He walked over and pulled her up by her arm.
"I was just…"
"I don't care!" He interrupted. "You can't just dig through people's stuff like that!"
He pulled her down the stairs with an angered expression. She followed him into the hallway where her things were. He let go and glared at her.
"Get out."
"What?" She cried looking up at him. "I was just trying to find something!"
"Yeah whatever, you could have frickin' asked, I don't need you digging through my mom's stuff like that!"
"I didn't know!"
"Well now you do! So get out now!" He grabbed her bags from the ground and grabbed her arm once again.
He pulled her towards the front door, and she tried to keep her hands on the wall to stop him.
"I'm sorry!"
He simply opened the door and threw her bags onto the porch and pushed her out into the rain. Lightening flashed across the sky as she stared up at him.
"Tidus, I really didn't…"
"Hope you have a blanket in those bags." He slammed the door shut in her face.
Yuna whined as thunder rolled overhead, she sat up against the door and leaned on her bag. The next worst thing besides needles and cats…was lightening and thunder. Especially thunder and lightening this close, and this violent of a storm only made it worse. The wind was howling, and the few trees surrounding his house were being blown violently. She buried her face in her arms as she drew her knees up to her chest.
How could he be this heartless?
As Yuna set outside Tidus's door, the thunder grew louder overhead. A lightning bolt struck down (and zapped her, AHAHAHH just kidding…though it's tempting…I'll get her later) across the street. That's when she started to cry.
------
"Shit, commercial time," Tidus thought out loud as he muted the television, taking a break from his program.
He walked into the kitchen to refill his bowl of popcorn. He leaned against the counter waiting for his corn to pop. Epic popcorn. What kind of line was that? The hum of the microwave stopped and silence rent the house. Tidus was about to reach for the bowl when he heard a sound coming from outside. At fist he thought it was the wind, but there was an almost something human about the noise. Tidus walked to the front door and put his ear to the mahogany. He could hear mix between crying and whimpering coming from outside. That's when his heart of ice shattered. (So it seems he has one…strange…) He knew that Yuna shouldn't have done what she did but what he did was cruel. Throwing her outside knowing of her astraphobia was a low thing to do. Tidus opened the door and the whimpering came to an immediate stop. Looking down he found Yuna's face between his feet looking up at him, tears staining her cheeks. "Hi," she said in a cracked, runny-nosed voice. "Just.." Tidus began in a harsh tone but decide to lower his voice to a low rumble, "just come inside; you're all soaked." "And cold," she added, hugging him on the way in. "And now I'm wet...thanks." "No problem," Yuna giggled. "Get changed and I'll make you something warm," Yuna ran upstairs to get changed as Tidus closed the door and brought her things inside. Walking into the kitchen he opened a can of chicken soup that he decided to warm up and put on the water to boil. Opening a closet he pulled out a packet of instant apple cider and poured it into a mug. Sighing he waited for the liquid to warm up as he got a bowl and spoon for the soup. He heard Yuna's footsteps coming down the stairs and stop outside the door, unsure where to seat herself. "Lets go on the sofa, my show's still on." Tidus ran upstairs to change out of his wet clothing and put on his pj's. He brought Yuna the steaming bowl and mug and set it onto the coffee table in front of the couch. Yuna had chocobo print pajamas, and a towel wrapped around her hair as she made herself comfortable on the cushions. Tidus grabbed a blanket he would sometimes use when he fell asleep downstairs and wrapped it around the shivering girl. She glanced up towards him with a grateful smile on her face. Tidus pushed the bowl of soup into her hands before seating himself beside her. Finishing her food she relaxed back into the sofa and rested her head on Tidus's shoulder. He absent mindedly reached up placed his hand on her shoulder.
She gave him a side-glance with a smirk. She cuddled closer to him and she felt him shift uneasily.
"… Can I have some ice cream?"
"Don't push it.."
It was worth a shot. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"…You really want it?"
She shot up and nodded.
"Go get it," he sighed." And get two spoons this time!"
"Yes sir!" She saluted him and ran to the kitchen.
