Rikku stood there in stunned silence. Her green eyes showed her confusion and shock at the words she just heard Tidus speak to her. "Tidus…are you joking?" She asked, although she knew the answer. Tidus' heart sank. "No" He said softly. Rikku was silent again, looking at her feet. Finally she asked. "Why, Tidus? Why are you doing this to me?" Tidus looked at her with sadness in his eyes. "I don't understand…" He asked. Now Rikku was angry. "No, you wouldn't understand, you never did understand anything!" She yelled at him. "You wouldn't understand that Yuna would be heartbroken and probably kill herself! Do you want me to go into detail about what she's tried to do while you've been gone? If it wasn't for Wakka and Lulu and Kimahri and Paine she'd probably be dead right now, but you'd like that wouldn't you! YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HER DO YOU? IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" She started crying now, as she buried her face in her hands and sat down on the ship. Tidus was shocked now. This whole scene caused him to think about all the times that he yelled at Jecht for always harassing him. Tidus tried to speak to her. "Rikku…I'm sorry, I had no idea. It's not that I don't care about Yuna, really I do, it's just that…Lately I've been so confused about my feelings and I had to tell you." He paused. "You have every right to yell at me, because you're right, it is all my fault…I should never have fallen in love with Yuna, I shouldn't have came back…and maybe I shouldn't have told you how I felt." He started walking towards the door, when suddenly Rikku stood up. She had stopped crying and felt stronger now. "Tidus," She called his name softly. He stopped and turned to her. "Yeah?" He asked fearfully, afraid that she'd explode at him again. Rikku laughed a little. "It's ok, I'm done screaming." Tidus breathed a little easier. "Although I said all that stuff, I've really just been kidding myself…the fact is…I love you too." Tidus' mouth gaped open and he was about to speak, but Rikku raised a hand. "Let me explain. Now that I think about it, I fell in love with you after we met the second time, after you and Wakka broke my machina. I basically hid my feelings to this day, and I didn't get upset when you left because I knew I had to be brave for Yunie and after that I was grieving over you for weeks and weeks but I couldn't tell anybody, because I was sure that it would complicate things and if you came back you wouldn't love me anyway. But when you told me that today…I didn't know what to think, and my first instinct was to think of all the bad things that could happen and that's why I got mad. So I'm sorry." She said lowering her eyes to the floor. Tidus put his hand on her shoulder. "It's ok Rikku, you really are right though. It is my fault for causing Yuna all this pain, so I'm the one who should be sorry. Rikku looked up, into his aqua blue eyes. He was really sorry, she could tell as the playful look in his eyes was replaced by a serious, mature look. With that they walked back to Rikku's room to discuss this new complication.

When they got back, Rikku closed the door behind them. She stood and faced Tidus, who was sitting on her bed. "Alright, Tidus, I want you to tell me everything." Tidus took a deep breath and began his story of how he fell in love with Rikku. "Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't fall in love with you until I went to the Farplane. I was still in love with Yuna, but something was bothering me, and I started to miss your laugh and your smile and the way you always tried to cheer everyone up when we were feeling down. I missed how you and me were always a team, ya know? How we always worked together to solve problems. I really missed all that, and that's when I realized that I fell in love with you, but I had to choose. I could take the easy way out and love Yuna, but live in pain for my whole life, or love you and break Yuna's heart and also live in pain. I know that doesn't make sense, but then I thought about the fact that if Yuna didn't know that I was back, then she'd never have to worry." He finished. Rikku came and sat beside him. "Wow…I'm still shocked that you feel that way about me." She said. Tidus smiled a little. "So does this mean that we're a team again?" The playful look returned to his eyes. Rikku smiled. "You bet!" She wrapped him in a big hug, and kissed him. Tidus' eyes went wide at the sudden movement, but he returned the kiss. She pulled away from him. "Jeez Rikku, you don't waste any time do you?" She laughed and went to punch him in the shoulder again, but this time he grabbed her hand. She tried the other hand and he grabbed that too. Now he grinned mischievously. "Weren't you ever taught not to hit people?" Rikku laughed again. "You seriously think my dad would teach me not to hit people?" Tidus laughed so hard that he let go of her hands, and she took this opportunity to knock him over and lay on top of him. "Now you see what happens when you mess with Rikku." She laughed evilly and started tickling him. Tidus screamed with laughter and finally managed to grab her arms again. He pushed her off of him. "Time for revenge." He tickled her this time and it was her turn to scream with laughter. Tidus gave her a quick kiss and then got up. She looked at him smiling. "What was that for?" Tidus shrugged. "I had to shut you up somehow." She smiled. "Tidus I'm really glad you told me your feelings, despite what I said before." Tidus looked at her. "Really?" She nodded. He put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her again, this time a more passionate one. She threw her arms around his neck and they continued to kiss. Tidus' hand moved to the string that tied her bikini. Rikku noticed this. "Tidus, I get the feeling that you're doing something naughty back there." She scolded. Tidus simply replied "Yup." And with that he pulled the string. The bikini top fell to the floor, but she was still pulled close to him. "Tidus! Now I'm gonna be cold!" Tidus laughed. "I can change that." He backed away and watched Rikku pull her shorts off and in a few minutes she was completely naked in front of him. Tidus was shocked at the sight. Rikku looked at him, worried. "Are you sure you can do this?" Tidus nodded. "I'm fine, it's just kinda weird seeing your best friend naked." He explained. She nodded. "Your turn." She grinned. Tidus scratched the back of his head. "Uh…yeah, o-ok." He said as he pulled off his suspenders. "I've never done this before you know." Rikku looked at him. "Seriously?" He looked at her suspiciously. "Yeah. Why? Have you?" He wondered. She shook her head. "No, it's just that you're a blitzer and I just assumed that you would've had like 20 girlfriends in Zanarkand." She explained. Tidus nodded, but laughed after a minute. "Remember that Rikku, I'm a blitzball player, not a pimp." She laughed, looking embarrassed. Tidus watched her, noticing her embarrassed look. "You have no right to be embarrassed, you're completely naked." He joked. She laughed and poked him in his bare chest. "So are you." Tidus gasped a bit and looked. He didn't even notice the fact that he was naked now, he had been so busy admiring Rikku. She ran her hand on his arm, feeling the muscles in his tanned arms. He noticed that she was really petite, as her body was like a little girl's almost. To him it was amazing how she kept in great shape yet she ate more than he did. She noticed that he was quite muscular all over, from his arms to his legs and he had his tan that seemed to never dissipate. Tidus broke the silence. "So…you ready to do this?" Rikku nodded, lying down on the bed. "Whenever you are." Tidus lay down beside her and kicked off their wild night of passion.
Author's Note: There I actually completed a chapter without leaving a cliffhanger. And for those of you who feel that I'm bashing Yuna here by having Tidus ignore her, don't worry I have something for her…whether it's good or not I won't say…but all I'm gonna say is she'll be making her appearance soon. Anyways that's all, so bye for now!
