"Rikku, what have you got there?"

"Just something I found." I hastily replied, hoping that Auron would go away.

"It doesn't look like something you 'found'."

"I DID find it." I grumbled, attempting to hide the shiny stone that I had 'found' in a pile of Auron's clothes.

"Give it back, Rikku."

"No, it's shiny." I griped, sliding away and feeling his strong arms encircle my waist.

"I know that." He whispered, unshaved bristles tickling my cheek. "It's your birthday present, but since you already 'found' it…happy birthday."

"Aaaaw…thanks, Auron!"
