You Know It

Chapter 3 Crush

"Um, Sir Auron?" Yunie asked.

"Yes."

"May we rest a bit?"

"If you insist."

"Thank you."

Yunie to the rescue! I need to rest. I needed to calm down! Yunie, Lulu, and I all sat in a nice, shaded, grassy, region. We exchanged gossip.

" So are you and Tidus making good time Yuna?" Lulu asked

"It's going well, thanks."

"You and your crush." Lulu shook her head.

"What about you and Wakka?" Yuna came back with.

"What about it?"

"Oh, nothing."

"If you think Wakka and I have a thing than your…"

"I'm what?"

"Hmph."

"You know you like him." I cooed.

"That Rikku is none of your business."

"Yeah, okay."

"Hahahaha! So, Rikku who do you like?" Yunie popped the question.

"Uh, uh, uh, no, no, no one."

"Well I could see why because that only nails down Sir Auron and Kimahri." Lulu laughed. "We all know the Ronso is no good and Auron is far to old for you."

I just let them laugh. So what! I like Auron and I really don't think age matters! I got and left.

"What's wrong with Rikku?" Yuna asked still giggling.

"Probably upset from having to be narrowed down to those two." Lulu replied.

I sat by myself on a riverbed. Tears began to form in my eyes. This is a joke. Auron and me? A possibility? No wonder they call it a crush because it is crushing me.

I began to weep.

"Are you crying?"

I wiped my eyes and looked up at my crusher, Auron.

"Why are you crying?" He took a seat right next to me.

"Uh, no reason."

"Just crying?"

"Yep."

"Oh, I see."

"It's nothing really."

"Usually when people cry it's something"

I couldn't hold back my tears. Why can't we be together? Is it that weird?

"Rikku what's wrong."

Should I tell him? What if it scares him? What if he laughs at me for being another stupid teenager with a stupid problem? Or, maybe he'll tell the truth? The truth of this isn't going to work? I couldn't live with myself if that were so.

"Come on Rikku you can tell me, I'll understand."

His reassuring words were comforting. Maybe I should just let it out. "I like you Auron."

He looked at me confusingly. "What do you mean?"

"I've never liked anyone as much as I like you. I remember the first time we met. You asked to see my eyes and as soon as I opened them, I fell."

We sat in silence for like an eternity before he responded. "You know it'll never work."

"Why!?"

"It wouldn't be right."

"We could just make it our little secret, please!"

"It's too complicated."

"No it's not!"

"I'm far to old for you. You should be with someone around your own age."

"I don't like anyone around my own age."

"That's the way it has to be." He walked off.

"No!"

Crush!

* Oh! That sucked!*
