Tidus couldn't sleep, how was he supposed to? He was happy about what had just happened, but not happy about the sudden stop. Deciding to get sweet revenge on Wakka, he ran some evil things through his mind. [How can I tease him and keep HIM wanting more... got it!] Tidus grinned into the darkness and looked over to his new boyfriend, suddenly wanting morning to come and the night to be done with. [This is going to be a fun little game] Smirking to himself, Tidus turned over and drifted to sleep.

"Wake up..." "unh... Tidus? Mmm" Slowly opening his eyes, Wakka looked up and saw Tidus grinning at him, pure delight and lust visible in his eyes. He had straddled the older man and had his hands under the redheads shirt, teasing his nipples playfully. He leaned down for a kiss, Wakka moaned, pulling the smaller man closer. "I like mornings like this" He mumbled, pulling away just enough to get the words out. Tidus grinned into the kiss, letting his hands wander. Soon the red head was breathless, begging Tidus for more between kisses. With out warning, Tidus jumped off Wakka, kissed him quickly and said "Two can play at that game!" The blonde ran out, cackling childishly. The man left on the bed smiled, [Wants a little game does he eh? Heh heh heh...]

As Tidus came out of the hut, he ran straight into Yuna, nearly knocking the girl over. Still laughing, he steadied her and smiled. "What's so funny?" She smiled curiously, tilting her head "Just playin' a game with Wakka" [If only she knew...!] "Oh right, where is he?" "Just in there, I wouldn't go in though, he's a bit grouchy." [She is so innocent.] Smiling sadly, she nodded. "I'm going to go find Lulu." With that she walked off. Tidus sat down on the ground, overly pleased with himself. His plan had worked perfectly. He knew Wakka would take revenge on him, but he was looking forward to that. Looking up at the sky, his problems seemed miles away. He had a new companion, some fun, a new life to explore and the others? Well he was sure in time they would cool off. He was happy, even if he was in another world. This would just have to be his home now.

"You okay there?" Wakka was standing proudly outside the hut, looking mischievous. "I am now" smiling, he stood up and walked in front off the taller man. Looking up, he realized for the first time how much bigger the older man was. Although the age gap wasn't much, Wakka's muscles were more defined, he was more built, he could almost look cruel to the blind eye – intimidating. Tidus was glad he knew him differently. The red head looked around, and took a few steps back into the doorway of the hut, instinctively Tidus followed. Wrapping their arms around each other their kiss lasted for what seemed like forever. Tidus rested his head on his new boyfriends chest, breathing slowly, quite happy to stay like this forever. "I could get used to this, ya?" The blonde silently agreed. "Not... not a good idea for the others to know though. Our little secret?" Wakka hoped this wouldn't put him off, having to run around behind their friends' backs. It just wasn't a good time, and he was worried for both of them how the others would react. He wasn't happy about it – but it was the lesser of two evils. "Wakka, that's fine," He kissed him lightly on the lips, "I'm happy as long as you're here, anything goes. I understand..." "Good. Oh, I got a present for you, I think you'll like it" Winking, he left the hut.

Tidus thought for a moment, trying to guess what it was. [Probably revenge in our game!] Grinning he slowly left the hut, and saw Wakka standing with his back to him, arms folded. "Where..." The blonde started. "Follow me." Wakka ran up to the temple, Tidus jogged after him. The red head waited and then went inside. Tidus followed him into one of the small rooms at the back, next to the stairs. Kneeling down, Wakka rummaged through the mess, then finally lifted a blue cloth up. He took what was underneath by the hilt, and handed it to Tidus. "I want you to have this, it was Chappu's. I hope you don't mind." The younger of the two slashed it around, testing it, grinning all the while. It was so light, and just by holding it he could tell how powerful it was. "I love it, how.. h-h-how can I say thank you?" "Like this." Wakka kissed the blonde, his tongue exploring, hands wrapping around the blondes waist and pulling him close. "We better get going, Yuna will be ready to leave soon" The blonde nodded and they walked out of the temple together. Lulu and Yuna were at the base of the steps, talking rapidly. "Time to go, ya?" Lulu nodded and began to leave, Wakka and Tidus followed. Yuna took one last look at the temple, closed her eyes and stood motionless; making a memory of the home she would never see again. Turning round, she trotted after the trio. They stopped at the stone statue to pray, and Lulu took it upon herself to explain why. With one last look at the village, they were on their way again.

The four were walking through the ruins, Wakka and Lulu in front, Yuna and Tidus slightly behind. The blonde was too busy thinking about Wakka to see the huge blue thing come out of no where, it wasn't until the beast was inches from his face he realized he was about to be eaten. The beast growled, and attacked the much smaller boy. "Shit!" he screeched, not really knowing what to do. The beast used his spear against Tidus, and Tidus slashed his new sword around wildly, attempting his best. When the beast had beaten the blonde to the ground, and was readying his spear Wakka came to the rescue. "That's enough!" He helped the boy stand up, the giant blue cat walked to stand next to Yuna. "Who the fuck is that and why did he try to kill me?" He demanded, glaring at his attacker, making sure Wakka didn't move too far away. "Kimahri Ronso, of the Ronso tribe. He's learned the fiends' way of fighting." Lulu stated. "You know that isn't what I meant." "He's another of my guardians, he's watched over me since I was a child. He doesn't really talk much, so we never know what he's thinking." Yuna smiled and patted Kimahri on the arm. [Maybe he's thinking he wants to eat me before I so much as look at you again!] Taking Yuna by the hand the big cat walked ahead with her. Lulu followed. "You ok, Tee?" "Yeah... I'm fine. Is he, you know, gonna kill me if I go near Yuna?" "I'll kill you if you go near Yuna." The red head grinned. "I didn't mean it like that!" "I know, I was kidding. He's just overly protective, don't mind him. Now he knows you're with us he won't hurt you – unless, you know, you hurt Yuna, then your as good as dead, ya?" Tidus gulped, eyes wide, and looked at the three figures walking away. Wakka kissed Tidus on the cheek and squeezed his hand, "I wont let him hurt you again, ya?" He said softly. The blonde nodded and they walked off, but not before sharing a quick chaste kiss. [I'm such an ass for letting him get hurt already! Damnit, I should have done something, if I'm Yuna's guardian I should protect Tidus just as much... *sigh*]
