Tidus stood waist deep in the clear blue waters around 'Play Island', staring at the vibrant colors that the setting sun washed across the sky.

So caught up, he never felt the presence of another person standing a knights play(1) behind him.

"Tidus."

"WAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Tidus screeched as he jumped, startled; before spinning and pointing and accusing finger at a amused Riku.

"Damn it Riku! WEAR. A. BELL! You nearly scared me out of a years growth!"

Riku smirked and he made a show of looking Tidus up and down. "Can't have that now can we?"

Tidus growled, before tackling the silver haired teen, sending water splashing up around them.

Of course, Tidus' upper hand didn't last overly long, and soon a splash war was in full swing.

Only relenting when Tidus managed to pin Riku again, half on the wet sand as the tide slowly went out.

"You don't have that much height on me." Tidus said, holding Riku's hands above his head.

Tidus expected a comment on that, and was rather confused when he only received a faint blush.

"What?" Tidus asked, tilting his head slightly in his confusion.

"……" Riku stared at him, before replying, "….You really don't noticed the position we're in?"

Tidus blinked a few times looking down before turning red. "I see."

"…..Are you going to get off?" Riku asked after Tidus made no attempt to move, his arms still above his head.

Tidus made a show of thinking it over before stating with a smirk, "No."

Riku raised an eyebrow at that. "No?"

Tidus shook his head cheerfully, "Nope."

Riku blinked twice, before he had to laugh as the humor of the situation sunk in.

Tidus stared at him a moment, before breaking into laughter himself.

The waves broke on the sand, and neither noticed a certain brown spiky haired individual, who eye was twitching madly, as they laughed themselves silly in each other's arms.

After a time that seemed like forever, they started to calm themselves, Tidus rested his forehead on Riku's, trying to regain his breath. A blush decorating his face as Riku's soft breath caressed him.

He opened his eyes to find aquamarine ones staring back at him, captured by their depths he slowly started to close the distance between their mouths.

When suddenly a low growl made him raise his head…………

…………And Mr. Blitz Ball meets Mr. Face.


End.


A/N- This was the drabble that turned into the one-shot, that REFUSED to end. It was a beating my head into the keyboard story. XDD
