Yay, sorry it's taken so long AGAIN to update, busy life. When summer break starts I'll update more often – right now so much is going on in real life I hardly get a chance to do anything! Things are moving slowly at the moment in this story, they will pick up I promise, but I like detail and I over analyse stuff. Again I've missed and added things so don't be surprised when you read this... Anyway, off we go to the story!

Wakka whipped around and stared at the sinspawn. It had HIS Tidus in its tentacles. He threw his blitzball and damaged it enough it let go, the blonde swam away and began slashing at it as soon as he could. The pair of them made short work of the sinspawn, it soon dissolved into pyreflys.

Tidus looked over at Wakka, the red head was hurt – he had taken a lot of hits for him. Swimming over he pulled the man into a hug, and kissed him shortly on the cheek. They began swimming to the surface, and only broke apart as they hit the surface.

"There they are!" Yuna was leaning over the edge of the boat, she yelled and pointed at the pair, obviously panicked and worried. The Aurocs helped them both up out of the water.

"Are you both okay? What happened?" Wakka mumbled something about sinspawn before passing out on deck. Yuna quickly healed Tidus with cure, and Lulu forced Wakka to drink a phoenix down. Yuna's white magic wasn't enough to heal Tidus completely; he slumped on the young girls' side and stayed there. A little while later Wakka woke up and stood a short distance away, he shaked off this groggy feeling but couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of his summoner, how ever much he loved her.

The younger man was lying on Yuna's lap, staring at the sky above. Yuna watched him closely – you couldn't deny the young man was beautiful, and she was so at ease with him so close. He was injured, and she felt it was up to her to look after him. Every so often she would pet his hair – and ask if he was alright.

He didn't make a sound for over an hour, so it startled the summoner when he asked "Yuna... is it... is it always like this? People dying just because sin wants destruction? Why?" She nodded, and smiled sadly. "It's always been like this. Because of our sins. We repent for our past. I will defeat sin, I must. I can't see Spira carry on like this..."

Tidus sat up, and looked Yuna in the eye. "I'll help you, always." At that he hugged the young lady, but looking over his shoulder he saw Wakka looking slightly hurt. He smiled at her one last time and stood up with out another word, joining the red head. This was going to be a very long journey. e He He wanted to kiss him and hug him in the open, but knew he had to wait. He still needed to thank the man for saving his life.

Once at Kilika, Locals swarmed around Yuna – asking for a sending. She obliged, but seeing her dance... everyone wished some one else would do the task. She cried all the while, but Tidus couldn't help but think how beautiful it was. Everyone had seen a sending before, but this was his first. It was so tragic; he never wanted to see it again.

Once her dance was over, the group decided it was time to sleep. When they got to the inn however, a slight problem arose. The young girl behind the counter seemed thoroughly embarrassed. "I'm sorry m'lady; we only have one double room left. But for you, I'm sure there is a family willing to give up their bed, all the houses were destroyed and..." "Kimahri sleep outside." The Rhonso walked out before anyone could argue. "No one needs to give up their bed. Girls: you take the room – we'll sleep outside." Wakka pulled on Tidus' shirt and brought him closer, no sign of a smile on his face. Yuna smiled and hugged them both, wishing them a good night and thank you.

The two men walked outside. The older of the two checked no one was watching, and took the blondes hand. "I saw an empty hut over there ya? We can sleep there, it's out of everyone's view to, so no worries, ya?" Squeezing his hand he walked over to the barren hut. All that was left was one wall and a floor, but it would do.

Wakka didn't attempt to make anymore conversation, something was bugging him and Tidus knew it. The red head lay down on his back and rested his head on his hands. Tidus laid down as well, but snuggled to the older mans side. [He fits perfectly, like we were made to fit.]

"Wakka, what's wrong? Are you mad at me?" "No. I'm not mad." "Then what's up? Is it because of sin, or Yuna's dance?" "No, it's not that, it's just... You can get all cuddled up with Yuna you know? People accept it. You're a beautiful young man and she's a very pretty girl. I have to wait and I can't tell anyone how I feel about you. It's annoying, you know?" [And I think Yuna likes you as more than a friend, and I'm worried you might start liking her more than me. Oh Yevon, I'm like a kid with a crush, and what if I hurt Yuna by doing this? I can't help how I feel about you though." "I can be worth the wait" He grinned. "Listen, don't worry about it. If one of the others guesses we are together then we admit it. I doubt they will though, we don't need to make it obvious and it can be kind of fun to see how long it takes them to guess you know? Yuna is nice and all, she's a great girl. But that's just it – she's a girl. I know you were jealous when I was laying on her, I didn't mean to make you feel like that – I'm sorry. The way I feel for you, that will never change okay? And... are you sure we are out of sight from everyone?" "I'm sorry to; I guess I'm over protective ya? And yes we are, while Yuna was dancing I looked around this harbour to see what needed fixing and checked, the only things that can see us are the fishies"

He turned over and wrapped his arm around Tidus, pressing his body close. Instinctively the blonde turned on his side as well, and kissed his boyfriend deeply. [If this is going to be the last chance we get alone I'm going to damn well make sure it's worth it...] The red head pulled away and shifted his body down slightly, and started kissing the boys neck. Tidus' hands travelled down his back and back up his shirt. He nipped Wakka's ear before lifting himself up and placing his weight on top of the man. He smiled downwards and leant down to kiss him deeply.

"You like being on top eh?" The blonde blushed and looked away, mumbling, "I erm... er... do you mind? I mean I don't and err if you want you can ay... heh" Wakka chuckled and kissed him, then laid the boy on his back and settled himself on top [Holy Shiva he looks like an angel.] "I'm hope I'm not squashing you" Tidus was in fact enjoying the role reversal more than he probably should. The boy nuzzled his neck and lifted his body up slightly, trying to close any gap there was between their bodies. They kissed for hours, only stopping for air and to get a few words in. As far as they were concerned they were alone in an empty world.

"mmm... baby, stop, wait..." Tidus let the man talk but kissed his ear instead, purring softly. "Not tonight, not so soon. Later, in a while, make it special. Will it err... will it be your first time?" "The blonde looked up, "Yes... it's not exactly easy to have a relationship with a man when you're the most famous blitzball player of your time. I've been with girls but that's just for the paparazzi, no feelings attached." "Good, I want it to be perfect for you, okay? We better get some sleep" The blonde nodded but kissed the man again, before snuggling up against the mans side once more. Neither could remember the last time they were this peaceful, or happy. Despite the attack of sin and the sorrow it brought, the men had each other and that was all that was important.

The pair of eyes that had been watching them looked away and sighed sadly. [Finally. Sleep...]

Tidus woke early in the morning. It was still dark, but the sun would rise soon and it would be time for them to go [Yuna does like her early mornings, eugh...] He wrapped one arm around the sleeping man and kissed his cheek, before getting up and sitting on the side of the hut. He pulled off his jacked and pants and headed into the water to wash off some of his remaining injuries from the battles before, the water was cold and crisp – and made him think Lulu had iced the water over with a spell. He didn't venture far, he had no weapons and there were sure to be fiends in the water. By the time he had swam back to their little hut Wakka was up and ready.

The boy pulled him self up and quickly put his pants on, Wakka raised an eyebrow at his friend. "I can't help being shy sometimes!" "You, shy? You are such a girl" He teased. They stuck their tongues out at each other and shared one last kiss before heading over to the inn. Kimahri was outside – arms folded, with Lulu and Yuna to his side. "Sleep well?" The girl chirped, strangely happier than normal. "You bet!" Was the reply Tidus gave. The Rhonso grunted and stalked a few paces away. "Great, off we go then. Are the Aurocs coming?" "Right behind you lady Yuna!" Botta called out, the rest of the team a few paces behind.

The group set off towards the woods. Yuna stopped unexpectedly and turned around. She paced around for a few moments before stating "I want to ask you to be my guardian, Tidus." "What? Huh? I mean, sure, but... why?" "I don't know, I just want you with me" Wakka stood silently, not really knowing what to think. [So he'll be with us all the way? But what if something happens to him? I can't be a guardian for both of them. But I'm not leaving him in Luca, not now, I can't...] Lulu stepped in-between the two teenagers, simply saying "We'll talk about this later."

Yay, a slightly longer chapter. Sorry if anyone is expecting a lemon, I can't bring myself to write one yet XD I wonder who it was that saw the pair in the hut? And will Wakka let his worries about Yuna get the better (or worse) of him? Hmm... Please review, I need to know how to improve, what I need to add etc...
