And no one's in sight

A/N: I'm so drunk right now but here is your update, because I'm nice like that, and Bacardi inspires me. I'm having a hard time with my new story anyways. Sorry for any mistakes, I'm writing this while a little… well you know.

Finally

Tears that seep from the skin, instead of her eyes

Legs entangled,

Our hearts beating in separate furious paces

Kisses dragging on forever,

Almost silent sounds escaping

Within the passion, where a spark has given way to a wildfire

Flourishing between the spaces of,

Skin on skin, lip to lip.

Yuna.

Bang. Bang. Bang. A hangover bombards the walls of my head as I sit up in bed. The light crashing through his windows stings against my half closed eyes. I take skeptical note of the shirt hanging from my shoulders and notice it's the same one Tidus wore last night…

I know something happened… I know we talked in the alley, and I know he kissed me, maybe more than once. But did… did that happen? Did we? No… we couldn't have. Tidus wasn't drunk; he wouldn't have let me take it that far.

There's a knock on the door and he comes in, wearing a pair of pajama pants and a goofy grin, "G'mornin hun." He kisses me. "I brought you eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice."

"Thanks." I smile, "But you didn't have to make anything…"

"No, you've gotten too skinny." He kisses my forehead, "So eat up."

I shoot a wry smile at him before taking the fork from his hands and placing a piece of scrabbled egg in my mouth, "Happy?"

"Very." He kisses me again, "I'm going to take a shower. I'll be back to make sure you've eaten it all."

"Don't you trust me?" I ask as my smile turns into a lopsided grin.

"You're the only person in the world." He smiles, "Be back in a few."

He leaves and I can't help but smile, despite the sense of nausea has that has overcome my senses just looking down at the plate and poking at his feeble attempt at being a cook.

A loud ring echoes through the apartment and I get up to open the door where Rikku is standing with a sour look on her face and an over packed suitcase in her hand, "Nice shirt." she quips.

I pull it tighter around my chest, "Rikku what are you doing here."

"Moving in."

"Oh…" I say turning my head towards the bathroom, "Does Tidus know about this?"

"Not yet." She says, collapsing upon his couch, "I hate men. I hate Gippal specifically, but seeing as all men are the same, I hate men."

"Hun…" I say, sitting next to her, "What happened between you two?"

"Can we just leave it at we're over?"

"No…" I gasp, "Rikku, are you sure… I mean you two seemed so happy together…"

"Well he'd be happier with her."

"Her?" I ask darkly, raising my eyebrow, "Her who Rikku?" She looks at me and pauses as Tidus comes through the bathroom door, a grin on his face and a very, very, tiny towel around his waist.

"Did you eat it all…." He stops, "Hey Rikku…" he wraps the towel tighter and grins sheepishly, "What brings you and your... suitcase here?"

"I'm moving in with you guys." She pauses, "that's okay isn't it?"

"I only have two rooms."

"I'll share one with Yunie." She smiles, "Unless the two of you would like to share a room…?"

"Actually…" Tidus begins but I shoot him a scowl, "Yeah, I guess the two of you could fit into that room… but why?"

"Long story" I reply, "Gippal's an ass."

"Hmm, troubles in paradise?"

Rikku shoot's us both a scowl, "Where should I put my bag, Tidus?"

"In Yuna's room." He replies before she storms off down the hall.

"Well…" he looks at me shyly, "I guess that puts a damper on our situation."

"Oh?" I ask, "What exactly is our situation?"

"From my point of view…" he pulls me up off the couch, and into him, "I think it is a very good situation."

"Oh?"

"Mmm…" he hums into my ear, "Yuna, last night…"

"Could you guys cut it out!" Rikku scowls from the hallway, "I won't be able to keep breakfast down."

"Sorry Rik." Tidus scowls, "I'll go get changed."

I frown and turn back to my friend and cousin, half grateful and half bitter. I didn't want to rush things with Tidus, but why did she have to ruin the moment…? My mind races, I don't know what to think anymore I love Tidus, I love being in his arms and in his bed, and having his arms around me… I love it all, but I'm not willing to give up my heart and have it thrown back. How much am I willing to risk for a chance to be with him?

Gippal.

A beer in my hand, sports on the TV. An empty silence echoing throughout the house. One drunken night, one stupid, stupid mistake. Too many beers and too many spilled secrets. I risked everything I loved for a chance to have something I'm not even sure I even want. Paine, god, from day one she's been there for me, but I hurt her, and she'll never forget, yet I'm not sure I can accept being with a second place prize.

The doorbell rings and I ignore it. It rings again and again, and then the ringing stops or maybe it was just in my head, I'm not sure, I'm drunk. I hear a slam and turn around to see my buddy, Tidus, "Gippal." His voice is static.

"Yo." I solute him before taking another swig of my brewski

He takes it from my hands, taking a swig and sitting right beside me, "What the hell man, what did you do?"

"Nuthin."

"What did you do?" he asks again, his eyebrows as high as my bloods alcohol content.

"Blame it on Paine." I pause, "Freeking… why do my teams always freeking loose?"

"Do you even know what you're watching?"

"No, but someone just scored a goal on my team."

"What happened with Paine, Gippal…?"

"I kissed her and she slapped me and then Rikku slapped me and then I went for a walk and when I got home Rikku was not."

"She's at my place, with Yuna right now, I was hoping you'd go get her and bring her home?"

"Yeah…no." I laugh, not really all that eager to be bitched out by my wife, ex wife… something or another. "I should just send her the divorce papers, end this whole mess, I don't know where my head is. I have no clue what I want…"

"You want you're wife." He pauses, "Now call her Gippal, I need some privacy with yuna."

"Oh?" I smile cockily, "So…"

"Yes."

"what exactly happened last night between the two of you? All I know is you left together."

Tidus laughs, "Well… we were both kind of drunk, but I don't regret it, and that's all I'm saying."

"Hmm…" I grab my beer from him, "Interesting, interesting… was she good?"

"Was she… Gippal, shut up!" He laughs, embarrassed, "That's none of you're business."

"You two did it, didn't you?"

"Shit…" Tidus yelps, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a cell, "Hey?"

"Yeah?" He pauses, "Yeah, look Yuna, it's about her kid's birthday, that's all."

"Adrianna?" I whisper, Tidus nods, "Is Rikku there, ask her if Rikku's there!"

"Yes, I still talk to her Yuna." He ignores my request, "Yeah, well no… okay, listen, is Rikku still there? No… well I'm with Gippal, yeah. I've tried to get him to call her, but I don' think he's going to. Ask her to call him…"

"No!" I interject, "Tell Rikku to send the papers!"

Tidus shoots me a glare, "No, he's drunk, I'll be home soon, we'll talk about this when I get there, is Rikku going to be gone all night? Good. See you soon hun…"

"Love you!" I laugh incisively as he flips his phone shut, "You're pussy whipped."

Yuna.

"Yuna?" Tidus calls my name from the entrance of his, our, apartment, "I'm back."

"Hey." I reply, leaning against the counter, "So… how's Gippal doing? You don't think they'll actually end things…?"

"No, no way." He pauses, kissing my cheek, "This morning Rikku interrupted us, but I want to talk to you…" he whispers into my ear. My heart races, "about last night…"

"Tidus, Adrianna called again." I turn away, pressing a button to replay her message.

"Hey babe, it's Addy! So…I'm not sure if that girl that answered your phone will actually pass this on, who is she anyways? Just don't forget about my babe's party. I was also wondering if you'd like to go out for dinner and a talk later this week? Anyways get back to me, love you!"

"Tidus?" I pause, trying to appear unaffected as he rubs his thumb and index fingers along his chin, "If you two are actually just friends, and that kiss didn't mean anything… and…"

He wraps his arms around my waist, "Would you like me to show you the kind of kiss that means something Yuna?"

I turn away from him, "Tidus…"

"Yuna last night we settled this, I want to be with you, didn't I make that clear enough?"

I force myself to look up at him, "I don't remember."
