I don't read FFX fics on this site all that often so this idea has probably been done to death but here it is- my take on what Tidus and Yuna were thinking during the "spring scene." I tried to make it as in-character and good as possible and this is my best attempt. I apologize if it sucks.

This chapter is in Yuna's POV, next will be Tidus'. If I feel motivated enough I might just do a little thing on what Kimahri was thinking while he watched, but I'm not making any guarantees. Maybe if I get enough reviews.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yuna or Kimahri but I have kidnapped Tidus and he is locked in my closet with other various kidnapped bishounens. Kukukukukuku.....

"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world... "

I can't stand to look into his eyes. I'm so pathetic. I talk about being strong and happy, and here I am crying my eyes out in front of him. I try to hold back the waterfall that is just waiting to be released with all my strength. However, a few pitiful muffled sobs still escape and I can feel him hovering over me. I wish he would just hold me and let me cry my soul out on his shoulder. He would tell me everything is all right, and even though I would know it wasn't, it would feel like it was. I need somebody to care, to see my pain.

I don't know how I do it. It's really hard to be happy when you know you're on a path to your certain death. I want to bring joy to Spira, but at the same time I wonder if someone else could do it.


No, that's selfish. Someone else shouldn't have to die for my destiny. I am daughter of High Summoner Braska. I am destined to defeat Sin.

But sometimes I wonder if I'm destined for something else.

I can feel him place his hands on my shoulders. Great, now you've made him worried. I still can't stop crying either. Why can't anything go right?

"Yuna." he almost whispers, and I've never heard him say my name like that before. It's full of concern, and I'm almost certain it contains pity as well. He feels sorry for me, and don't like it. I don't want him to feel like he needs to have sympathy for me.

I've gathered up enough courage to look at him. Slowly, I tilt my head upwards and our eyes meet.

Those eyes. I don't think I've ever really noticed his eyes before. Wonderful pools of brown. No, a never ending ocean of warm... ahh, forget it. No description I could ever give or words I could ever find would do those amazing eyes justice. I can see and feel him gazing into mine as well, like he is searching for something. Going deep inside the depths of my soul, beyond my mask, to find the truths I have hidden for so long. I believe he knows I'm scared. You don't have to search far to feel my fear.

He's still gazing into my eyes as he suddenly starts to lean towards me. What's he doing? My mind panics for a moment until I realize what's happening.

Before I know it, his warm lips are upon mine. He's kissing me...?!?!? Thoughts of confusion, fear, happiness, pleasure, and others race, spin, and twirl through my head and blend together in a giant whirl of nothing. That nothing abruptly changes to a feeling of pure ecstasy and jubilance as I start to slightly return the kiss. I slowly close my eyes so that nothing in the outside world could ruin this.

I start to return the kiss more passionately now. I don't know what's going on outside us. I don't care. Right now the world is just us. For a few moments we can forget about everything, only concentrating on each other.

His arm starts to move across my shoulder and towards my neck, pulling me closer to him. Before I know it, we fall in the pool together. We continue falling through the water as we manage to stay hooked together and kiss at the same time, still in a world of our own. No, we're not falling; we're flying. We are flying through the sky and space and no force in Spira can stop us.

I grasp his shirt even tighter, as if he might somehow slip away. He does the same. We are one being, one whole, one essence flying through the sky.

We continue to soar further, twirling through the water in a beautiful dance. He releases his grip on me slightly and takes my right hand in his. Our fingers intertwine and they fit so wonderfully, like they were made for each other.

We stop kissing for a moment and our faces separate. His amazing eyes meet mine once again, and a wonderful aura of love radiates from them. I can feel him searching my eyes once more and I think he is happy with what he finds.

I love him too.

I stop gazing into his eyes for a moment as I slowly start to float away from him. I reach out and take his hands. I'm staring at him upside down, and once again our eyes speak so that there is no need for words.

I see his light colored hair dance around his face and he smiles. Everything about him is simply astounding. I realize that I'm seeing Tidus in a whole new light now. He's caring, strong, and incredibly amazing. I don't deserve this.

Our hands brush across each other, fingers begging to be intertwined once again. We dance and move so that I am facing him, and our eyes continue to speak volumes. I can tell he's very happy, and I hope he knows that he makes me incredibly happy too. He moves his gloved hand towards my face, and my eyes close in elation as it brushes across my cheek. I open them again to meet his beaming smile, and I grin in return. I place my pale hand against the tan skin of his face, and he closes his eyes as well. I take my hand off and his eyes open. I place my hands on his shoulders and our intentions become clear as he increases his grip on my waist.

We move towards each other in one fluid motion and we meet each other once again. He places an arm tightly across my back and continues to pull me closer. My arms hover over his shoulders, floating freely in the water.

We are dancing again, weaving through time and space as one essence. We twirl and spin through the sky and nothing matters except for us. We can forget about Sin and the pilgrimage and anything else except for our one essence traveling through space. There is hope now. Maybe I don't have to die. I don't want to hurt him. I saw the pain in his face when I told him I couldn't go with him to his Zanarkand. I can only pray that I'm making it up to him now.

As we dance, everything seems right. We soar through the sky, and we are free from the problems and burdens we normally carry. I want to be free forever, I want to dance for eternity.

We will find a way. Somehow, I can rid Spira of Sin and live to go to his Zanarkand. We will all go, and the world will be perfect. Tidus makes me feel like I can do the impossible. No, I know I can do the impossible.

Love conquers all.
