A Restless Night

Wakka scowled as he looked to the door of his room. On the other side was Chappu and Lulu flirting in the hall. He knew he shouldn't have went to sleep so soon. Now his brother was getting all the glory. He wanted to talk to Lulu more than anything.

Five minutes later, he heard a door shut and took a chance. Opening his door he hoped to find the beautiful mage alone in the hall.

But Wakka did not have that kind of luck. Chappu was out in the hall staring at a door that Wakka assumed was Lulu's.

"Whatcha doing brudda?" Wakka asked.

Chappu turned and looked at Wakka with a dreamy expression. "I really like her Wakka. I think she likes me too!"

Ah crap. Wakka didn't know what to say. He wanted his brother to be happy but did it have to be with her? But he was the older brother and he had to look out for Chappu. "I'm sure she does man. Go get some sleep."

Wakka made sure Chappu was in his room before letting his head fall back in defeat.

Tidus paced his room a few times. He knew that Yuna was at another training session with Issaru and it drove him crazy. According to the summoner, he worked best at night. Tidus knew that was bullshit. Issaru knew what he was up to and Tidus was worried about Yuna.

Not being able to take it any longer, Tidus left his room in search of his crush.

"This is Cid you old bastard, over!"

Braska smiled at the voice coming out of the commsphere. "Okay Cid, what's going on?"

Cid had waited until his kids were good and distracted before taking his fleet to the Southern Ocean. It was sneaky but nessecary to avoid his kids.

"Well, my airship is scouting the east and Buddy has got the west. Nothing much yet." came Cid's voice.

"Ok. Keep me posted.

Gippal found himself walking the halls that night. He was plotting ways to spend more time with Rikku. With her husband around all the time, it was going to be hard. He couldn't believe that Rikku was in love with that ape. Gippal despised Auron the moment he met him. All he needed was some time to win Rikku over, but how?
Auron wasn't sure when he lost the ability to think but he was sure it had something to do with kissing the Al-Bhed woman under him. He debated ripping her shirt off for a whole two seconds before he acted. He was surprised to see that she was still wearing her bra but it didn't slow him down any. There was too much new skin to kiss to slow down now.

Rikku gasped as his large hands cupped her breasts through the fabric of her bra. She whimpered as he trailed hot, wet kisses down her chest and over the tops of her breasts. She knew that Auron was a lost cause now so she was going to have to be the one to say something. Instead of speaking, she lifted her hips to make contact with his and rotated them slowly. No! Bad Rikku! Focus!

Auron slammed his hips onto hers, pushing her against the bed and drawing a long moan form her lips. Oh God Rikku FOCUS!

"Auron" she said gasping for air and pushing on his chest. The unexpected force sent Auron rolling onto his back. He pulled Rikku on top of him and continued to massage her breasts. That was not how Rikku meant for the shove to end. She was trying really hard to talk to him, but ended up rubbing her hips back and forth over his erection and holding onto his hands that were covering her breasts. Damn it Rikku! You are useless!

Auron knew that Rikku was trying to say something but could not bring himself to calm down. His body was on fire for her and she was right there. He hadn't realized how attracted he was to her until now. He must have been in denial. Knowing he should stop to let her speak, he still ran hand down her body and slipped his hand under her underwear.

"Auron!" she screamed, forgetting her reservations. He immediately sat up, holding her to his chest and she slid forward further onto his hand.

It was too much. Too far. Rikku needed to stop this. Auron didn't like her like that way. He was just attracted to her and turned on. Rikku was right there with him, but she couldn't face him day after day if this happened. Her feelings for him were mixed but she knew that given time they could be love. Mostly, she was afraid that he would use her like Keyakku did.

"Auron" she whimpered, scooting back so she was sitting on his legs. Auron groaned at the loss of her warm body and leaned forward to kiss her.

"Rikku, please" he kissed her softly, "I want you so much"

Rikku knew that much. How was she going to say this? How could she make him understand what she went through with her former friend?

"Auron" she started as he moved to her neck, "I need to know that you like me and this is going to be okay afterwards."

If Auron had been thinking with his real head instead of the one in his pants, he would have caught the unsure, scared tone in her voice. He would have known that something was hidden below her peppy surface and if he asked, she would have told him everything. Instead, he said something that he was going to regret every time he though back on it.

"Rikku, don't tell me your having second thoughts now!" He was turned on to the point that it was painful and he wasn't ready to let her go. He immediately felt her stiffen and guilt rushed over him. Where had that come from? He never said things like that! She had just put him in such a state of lust he couldn't think straight.

Rikku scrambled off of him feeling embarrassed and stupid. She never meant for this to go as far as it did but she wanted him so much. She wanted his warmth and protection and as stupid as it was, she wanted his love. She wanted him to be the person he was when he was pretending to be her husband and she cursed herself for being so stupid.

"I'm going to go to my room" she whispered, grabbing her clothes and throwing them on in record time.

"Rikku-" he started, but the door already closed.

Wakka was about to go into his room when he heard a door click open. He looked up to see Lulu exiting her room.

"Hey Wakka" she smiled, hoping he couldn't see her blushing in the dark.

"Lulu!" he said surprised, "I mean hello"

They smiled sheepishly at each other for a moment. Lulu really thought he was so cute. The first time she saw him in Luca, she couldn't forget him. Now she felt bad because his little brother had obviously developed a crush on her and she didn't know what to do.

"I was going to get some ice cream. Want to come?" She smiled.

Tidus ran into Yuna halfway to the training room. "Tidus! What are you doing up?" she asked, surprised.

"Uh..." he tried to think of an excuse.

Yuna smiled at his flushed cheeks. She was tired of playing these games with him and decided to make a move. "Did you come to find me because you were worried?"

"Yeah" he admitted, putting a hand to the back of his neck.

She smiled, stepping closer. "And did you come to find me because you were jealous?" she smirked.

"What! No!" he said, not meeting her gaze.

"Really?" she said in fake innocence. "That's too bad because I thought it would have been cute and I might have given you a kiss for a reward."

Tidus stared at her for a second before lunging at her to kiss her. Yuna would have fallen over if he had not wrapped his arms around her waist to hold her still. She kissed him back with all the force she could gather. A few moments later, they broke apart.

"Wow" Yuna breathed.

Braska was worried. Cid and Buddy had both spotted the Guado compound and were going in for a better look against his wishes. Cid, being Cid, took it upon himself to send his ship down. Now Braska only had communication with Buddy.

"No sign of anything going on down there, Maester. Cid says hi." Buddy reported.

Since Cid and Buddy were close, the line off communication remained open and Buddy reported back to Braska.

"They are at the water level now. Moving to the compound...oh cred! Air missles!" Buddy shouted.

Braska felt a chill run through him and looked around at his commsphere team. "Get a clear feed!" he ordered. He wanted to hear what was happening. Buddy was yelling a string of Al-Bhed curses and cutting out.

"We're hit! Abandon ship!" Buddy hollered. The room stilled at the scream and Braska waited for more. A few seconds later, Cid's voice roared through the sphere.

"My team in back in the air. Those bastards hit Buddy's airship! There are all down in the water. We're going down again! I'll resume communication when we're in the air!"

Gippal still had nothing. Rikku wasn't the problem. His friend Keyakku told him how easy she was and he was determined to make her his. It was her brother and husband he had to worry about. Keyakku warned him that Tidus was a very good fighter and would protect his sister at all costs. He hadn't known Auron long, but knew to watch out for him.

Gippal walked further down the hall to his room and suddenly a door flew open a few feet in front of him. As luck would have it, Rikku came running out of the room looking upset.

Excellent! I can work with this! he thought.

"Rikku! What happened? Are you alright?" he asked in mock concern. She looked up at him and shook her head.

"No, I'm fine Gippal." she said shivering. The palace was very cold with out Auron wrapped around her.

"Auron giving you trouble?" he asked. "Trying to force you into things? Like Keyakku?"

Rikku's head snapped up and Gippal smiled. He knew what buttons to push and this one was right on the money. "Come here sweetie" he cooed.

Rikku stayed still while Gippal wrapped her in a hug. She almost cried in disappointment. His embrace was foreign and not Auron. She missed his comfort and Gippal was not him. She started to pull away but heard a very deep voice behind her.

"Get your hands off of my wife!" Auron roared, staring Gippal down. Gippal let go of Rikku and stepped back in fear of his safety.

Rikku spun around and her breath caught at sight of Auron in his underwear. He had obviously come out of his room to find her and didn't expect to run into anyone this late at night. She waited for him to make a move.

She didn't have to wait long. Auron walked over and grabbed her hand, pulling her into his room and slamming the door, not giving Gippal a second glance. Rikku was glad. Even though she was uncomfortable with Auron right now, she'd take him over Gippal any day. They weren't two feet into the room when Auron hugged her to him. She breathed his scent in and out and relaxed even though she didn't like him that much right now.

"Rikku, I'm so sorry" he whispered against her ear. "I'm an idiot, but please don't hate me"

Rikku melted against her will. He sounded like a hurt little boy. She didn't know what to say to him. He pulled her tighter and looked at her face. He smiled at her tightly closed eyes.

"Open your eyes" he whispered. She opened one eye slowly, then the other and looked up at him. He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose. "Stay here with me please"

Rikku nodded and Auron let her go to retrieve the black shirt from the floor. He walked back over to her and quickly took the clothes she had thrown on off. Before she could blink, the black shirt was on her and Auron was carrying her to the bed. He placed her on the mattress and climbed in beside her. Rikku cursed herself for falling into his warm arms again, but it couldn't be helped.

"I didn't mean for it to come out like that Rikku, I honestly didn't" he told her.

"I know Auron" Rikku sighed, rubbing his arm. "I'm just so confused"

"Tell me" he answered softly, rubbing his nose along her cheek. She sighed and turned in his arms so she was facing him. She looked up into his beautiful eyes and sighed. Here goes nothing.

"I didn't think you liked me that much to tell you the truth" she admitted. She felt Auron sigh and hold her tighter.

"Rikku, I find it incredibly easy to pretend to love you. Every time I pretend to kiss you, I really kiss you. I wish that it is real" he admitted, hoping he didn't scare her.

"Really?" she smiled glad that he said that. "I feel the same Auron"

He smiled and kissed her very relieved that they got that out in the open. The more he kissed her, the more his body reacted to her and he pulled back after a few moments. Rikku had a sad look in her eye and this time, Auron didn't miss it.

"What is it Rikku?" he asked. She looked up at him and saw concern in his eyes. "Is this about Keyakku?"

They way Rikku tensed told Auron that this was a sensitive issue. "You heard Gippal?" she asked. Auron nodded and waited for her to continue.

"He was a friend of mine back home. I liked him and I though he liked me. He and I were...intimate and I found out that he didn't like me after all" she admitted. Auron grew angry at her word and wanted to kill this man he never met. "Tidus threatened him but it still hurt."

Auron kissed her check lightly. "That's why you wanted to stop" he nodded.

"I didn't want to stop Auron" she said. Auron looked at her and lifted an eyebrow.

"But-" he started confused.

"I'm not broken Auron. Keyakku didn't mess me up for life or anything. I fell for him and he used me. It hurt, but it happens. I just wanted to make sure that you weren't using me" she said softly.

"God Rikku I am so foolish. I shouldn't have said what I did, I was just not thinking. Of course I like you. You're all I can think about all day. I'm not here with you now just because I have nothing better to do!" he answered.

"That's all I needed to hear" she smiled, kissing him. She was falling hard for this man.

Auron smiled and kissed her back glad they talked. He wasn't planning on letting Rikku go for a long time, if ever. The little Al-Bhed accomplished what hundreds of bachelorettes could not. She won Auron's heart. Rikku shivered and cast a glance at the dying fire. She pulled back form Auron and concentrated on the fire place.

"Hey, look what Lulu taught me. Fire!" She waved her arm at the logs and a small fire lit the room. Auron smirked and kissed her neck. "Showoff"

"Speaking of Lulu, what was going on between her and Wakka and Chappu today?" Rikku asked.

"I have no idea" Auron answered from her neck, "I was busy keeping you awake to pay attention."

Rikku suddenly remembered how exhausted she was and curled into Auron. He was still mostly naked and she ran her hands everywhere she could. Auron held still while she ran her hands over his stomach and around to his butt. He groaned when she squeezed and rolled over onto her.

"You are asking for trouble Rikku" he growled.

"Maybe I want trouble Auron" she answered bitting at his ear.

"Rikku, I am not going to hurt you again" he told her firmly. She smiled and kissed him sweetly.

"I know that you feel the same Auron. I've never felt anything like this ever and I don't want to deny it anymore" she answered.

Auron could not argue with that logic. "Are you sure you want to do this with me?"

"How could I not?" she smiled as he looked away, his face flushed. It gave her the opportunity to run her lips along his neck and she felt him harden. Auron ripped the shirt off of her again.

"Now where were we?" he asked lifting her slightly to release the clasp on her bra. As soon as the material fell away, he placed his mouth over one of her nipples and a hand on the other. Rikku sighed and smiled, glad she was back in his arms and never wanting to leave again. She felt like she was putting her heart out on her sleeve again, but his time she was glad it was for Auron. She panted and moaned beneath him while he switched his attention between her breasts. Her hands tugged on his hard and ran along his back as he drove her crazy.

Auron loved the way her skin tasted. Rikku was his whether she knew it or not yet. He moved his kisses down her stomach and put on hand behind her knee, remembering her earlier reaction. Sure enough, Rikku jumped at his touch and launched herself at him, kissing him hard. Auron groaned into her mouth and tugged at her underwear, throwing them to the floor. She held him tighter and pressed herself against him as much as she could. Taking advantage of his leverage, she pulled on his arms until he fell onto her and then rolled them both over.

Rikku sat up on his boxer clad erection and grinded her hips back and forth. He moaned her name and she leaned forward to kiss him deeply. Suddenly she pulled back and climbed down his body to the foot of the bed. Once she was standing, she pulled his boxers off his legs and tossed them to the floor. Seeing him fully naked, Rikku stared. He looked like a Greek god...only better and well...much bigger.

Auron was doing the same thing. Rikku was standing at the end of th bed and he couldn't take it anymore. He sat up and reached for her pulling her to him and onto his lap. He kissed her and massaged her breast and she pressed herself closer to him, not feeling enough of him. Auron reached a hand to her butt and guided her forward.

They both moaned at finally joining together after so much tension between them. Rikku immediately started to shudder around him and Auron reached a hand to where they were joined to help her along. Minutes later, she was panting in his embrace after her release and was so tired. Auron smiled and fell back onto the bed, rolling her under him. She wrapped her legs around him and kissed his chest as he thrust into her again and again. Rikku could barely breath. What Auron was doing to her, combined with the thought of what Auron was doing to her made her dizzy and she couldn't think. Each stroke inside of her took her higher an higher until she though she couldn't think she could stand anymore.

Auron wasn't doing much better. Rikku had him in a trace and all he could focus on was her. Her scent, her sighs, her moans drove him crazy. He felt her inner muscles tighten around him for the third of fourth time and he climaxed with her, falling into her arms.

Rikku held him to her and loved the way her body fit hers. Auron rolled to the side, taking her with him and cradling her to his chest and he had the exact same thought.

"Auron?" she whispered, her voice a little horse from all her cries.

"Yeah?" he asked still out of breath.

"We need to sleep now or we might die" she said simply.

"I know. Goodnight" he said, pulling her close and they were both asleep in seconds.

"We lost all contact Maester" one of the technicians said to Braska.

"Damn it!" he cursed, throwing a set of headphones into the nearby wall.
