The Birthday Party

It was a while before the hospital let Tidus go and go back to the manor. Yuna stayed with Tidus the whole time and never left his side. When they were informed that Tidus could go they were both overjoyed, no more eating shitty hospital food. Plus they could actually sleep in their comfy beds now.

As soon as they got back to the manor, Tidus went straight for the fridge taking out fruit, chocolate and sausage rolls. He ate for about half an hour complaining he was wasting away in the hospital. Yuna smiles as he eats, still not believing she came clean with him, and even more unbelievable, he came clean with her. It's like Yuna was living in a fantasy world and she defiantly didn't want to go back.

Tidus was enjoying his time with Yuna too for two reasons. Reason 1. She was helping him forget Clare and reason two. He really enjoyed being around her.

A few weeks past and nothing much happened, it snowed two more times and these two more times, Tidus wore his vest. Yuna had no more bad dreams (Because Tidus slept with her every night) and Rikku visited practically everyday.

"So, your birthday's soon right?" Tidus asked Yuna one night as they were watching a film.

"Yeah, the 21st." Yuna replied

"You know, you still haven't told me."

"Told you what?"

"What you want for your birthday!"

"Why don't you surprise me?" Yuna said, averting her eyes from the S.V to look at him. "I like surprises."

"A surprise like what?"

"That will ruin the surprise, wont it?"

"Fine. I'll go to the shop and ask if they've got one."

"You'll find something. But you know, I don't really want anything. I mean, Dad and Rikku are throwing me a birthday party. That's enou-" Tidus cuts her of.

"I thought that was meant to be a surprise?"

"It is, well, its supposed to be."

"See! Even if I did get you a surprise present you'd find out."

"I only found out about the party because Rikku told Barkeep and I overheard."

Yuna yawned and rested her head in Tidus' lap. "Tired?" Yuna nods and yawns again.

"C'mon then. I'm quite tired myself." He held both hands out and she took them gladly.

He guided her upstairs and Yuna said out of nowhere, "Do you think Seymour knows about the party?"

"Why would he?" Tidus said, stopping and turning to her.

"Dad and Rikku have been planning this party for 2 months now, and I told Seymour about it."

"Don't worry." Tidus says as he pulls her into a hug. "If he does turn up we'll have guards waiting for him."

"Guards?"

"Your dad and cousin though about Seymour turning up as well. They've asked me to ask some of the people I know to keep an eye on things."

"Ah. So who's going to be there?"

"Remember that Kevin guy I was telling you about?" Yuna nods. "Well, he's going to be there. Leanne's going to be there, Matty, Josh, Kirsten and a load of other people."

"I thought Leanne was doing another job?"

"She was. She's finished it now and is now back at the station.

"Nice. What are they gunna be doing?"

"Well, if I'm not dancing with you or with you at anytime I'll be standing with them plating eye spy."

"Eye spy? Isn't that a kids game?"

"Hey, we've known each other since we were kids, we never really grew up in each others eyes. Well, here we are." Says Tidus as he reaches Yuna's room.

Yuna just looked down at the floor, continuing to think what might happen if Seymour showed up.

"Hey, don't worry." Tidus says as he presses her against her door, placing his right arm behind her so she doesn't hurt herself on the doorknob and his left hand to her cheek.

"If Seymour comes anywhere near the party, we'll have him, even Seymour knows that."

"I know, but what if-" She is cut of by Tidus' lips on hers. It turned from a small peck on the lips, to a passionate one, tongues included. He always took her breathe away when he done that. Yuna's arms found their way to Tidus' chest and neck. They eventually parted for air and Tidus just looked directly at Yuna.

"But what if what?" Tidus asked

"Nothing." She leaned in for another kiss and got what she wanted. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and just explored. He loved the taste of her, but he couldn't shake the feeling that this is what Seymour used to do with her. The reason he thought that was because when he bit her lip gently she backed off a little but then went back. He couldn't of hurt her, it was to soft, so it must have been Seymour.

Tidus' hand found his way to her doorknob and turned it, sending them into the room. He closed the door with his foot and guided her to the bed, lying her down. Her own hands found their way from his neck to his shirt. She started to unbutton it from the top to the bottom and slipped his shirt off. After that Tidus saw where this was going and began to reach for her shirt. Then he had an idea and done something to completely kill the mood.

He pulled away and gave her a peck on the cheek and said, "Goodnight."

Uhg! I am really pushing my luck now! That's the third time I've done that. Ok, only 2 more days. I'll give her present to remember.

He smiled to himself at the thought and turned round to see Yuna's back to him. He turned and placed his arms around her stomach and kissed her shoulder. She leaned into him and turned her head a little so she could see him. She gave him a peck on his lips and cuddled into his chest.

It took a while for him to get to sleep as he knew what Seymour was capable of. He knew, that if she did tell him about the party, he would be there. Tidus just had to make sure he was ready and prepared and not tell Yuna, she would only worry otherwise.

He would have his gun on him at all times and have his vest on. If Seymour went anywhere near this party, he would pay with his life. He would make sure to that personally.

Tidus kissed Yuna on the forehead and said, "I love you." Before drifting of to sleep.
