On with the fic'!
Chapter 4-Lot's of hugs!
"I love you!" said Tidus, gently stroking Yuna's cheek.
"I love you too!" she smiled back at him.
He pulled her towards him, so he could get a hug. Yuna cuddled up to him, resting her head on his pillow.
"I'm so happy when i'm with you!" she exclaimed,
"Really, im estatic!" he grinned,
"It was so sweet how you did that tonight!"
"You think so? It wasn't corny or anything?"
"No! It was beautiful!"
"You're beautiful!"
Yuna continued to smile at him, it was all she'd been able to do since it had properly sunk in that she was engaged! Tidus gave her a quick kiss, then she closed her eyes. She was so tired he felt cruel to keep her awake any longer! Tidus closed his eyes and soon they were both asleep!
---------------------------------------
Paine came out of the bathroom and walked slowly towards her bed. She was wearing some small black shorts and a black, strappy top. Baralai looked her up and down, then quickly looked away when he realized he was staring at her chest!
"Hey....what's that?" he asked, looking back at her,
"What?" she asked, with absouloutly no expression in her vioce,
"That, on you arm!" he nodded in her direction.
Paine looked down at her arm to see her scar, 'crap' she thought, 'why didn't i bring a long sleeved shirt'
"Nothing." she lied coldly,
"Why do i not believe you?"
"It's nothing!" she walked over to the corner of the room where a small table was placed.
"Paine," he watched as she put her things into a neat pile, "You can trust me!"
She didn't answer, so he got up. Baralai was only in his blue boxers, but hoped she didn't mind. He walked over and put his hand on her almost bare shoulder. Paine shrugged it off and walked over to the other side of the room, whilst a tear escaped from her red eyes.
"It happened when you when you were younger, didn't it?" His remark made Piane wonder how he knew that, "I saw it when we were in the crimson squad. How did you get it?"
"It's none of your buissness!" she said angrily wiping her cheek!
"Did you do it, or did someone else do it you?" The glare he recieved told him he should probably be quiet, but his curiosity got the better of him.
"Y'know, sometimes it's good to share you problems!" he added, she turned around.
"Yeah and sometimes it's not!" she replied, not giving up.
He turned her back to face him and took her arms out of the folded position she'd had them in across her chest. Taking her arm, he studied the long but thin scar that ran down the lower part of it.
"No wonder you wear gloves and sleeves all the time!" he commeneted sympathetically,
Paine juust turned away, as if disowning her left arm.
"How did it happen?" he asked, Baralai watched as the normally strong, bold soldier tried to speak, he could tell she was upset! He felt guilty for pressuring her, but knew it was pointless ignoring it now!
'Should i tell him? Oh, i hate him so much for this, he could have just left it! No...it's not his fault what happened eight years ago, he's just a curious twat!' Paine didn't know what to do, she hadn't felt this helpless for ages!
"When...i was ten!" she tried to explain, "Look you don't want to hear this!" "Yes i do!!"
She took a deep breath, "You should really give up easier, or you'll end up pissing people off!"
"So should you- and don't change the subject!"
"Fine!" she sighed, "When I was ten, i was walking back to the place i lived at the time. I walked past ths field which was normally always desserted," she stopped.
"Go on!"
"There was a man there,"
"Yeah!"
"He was... tall, oldish...heavy!"
"Heavy?" Baralai wondered what sort of description thatw as! Then grew silent when he realized what she was implying, "The field had no one else in or around it?"
Paine gave a small nodd!
"So...did he...actually,um....y'know...r...er!" Baralai thougtht about what would be the best way to put his question into words!
"Rape me? YES!" she snarled, arms back in the folded position, staring at the ground.
Baralai froze, he hadn't expected her sudden out-burst. Neither had she actually! They both stood there, wondering what the other was going to say, both feeling guilty!
'Why the hell did i force her to tell me that?!? What sort of arse am i? She probably only wanted to foget the whole incident, why did i bring it up?' thought Baralai, 'Crap! What does he think of me now? Oh, why did i yell at him? Why did i tell him? How did he evn just get me to tell him? No one else has ever done that!' Paine thought to herself!
"How did you get the scar?" he asked, realizing she hadn't told him that, but wondering wether it was a good idea.
"I tried to escape! He had a small blade, when he'd...done!..I kicked him! He slashed me with it,...i managed to run away but my arm was cut deeply! That's why i have it there!"
"Didn't anyone see it?" "No, not really! But those few who did, i told them that it was an acident! I'd slipped when cutting something!"
"But it went over your vain!"
"No, it just missed!"
"Did you tell anyone?"
"No! I was scared! Afraid i'd done something wrong!"
"But you-"
"I was ten alright! I didn't know what to do!" she shouted!
They were silent again.
"Sorry!" He said,
"No, i'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you!"
"But i made you tell me, i made you remember it all!"
"How were you to know?" her eyes filled with tears, "It's not like i don't see it every day!"
Baralai put his arms around her, as droplets spilled down her face! It was the only time she'd ever broken down like this in front of someone, Baralai felt so horrible! She wrapped her arms around him, wishing the tears would stop. Slowly, he leant his head down towards hers, making their lips meet. Paine jumped slightly, but didn't stop the kiss that had just formed between them! His hands started to travel down her back, which resulted in her pulling away from him. Baralai's arms dropped to his side and Paine stepped back, folding her arms again.
They both stared at the floor, not quite sure how to aproach the situation. 'Will she throw me out? Why the Spira did i just do that? It's like my hands have a life of their own, i should cut them off! I can't believe myself, that's probably the last thing she wants to do'
'What in the name of Yevon just happened? He wouldn't understand why i pulled away! He probably thinks i'm a frigid bitch now, great! Why can't i just get overit, Eight years is plenty of time! Bad things happen to people everyday, i'm sure it doesn't effect them that much! Why does my brain remember things so bloody clearly'
"Sorry!" apologized Baralai,
"It's late!" said Paine shaking her head.
"Yeah, we should probably, y'know, go to sleep!"
Paine nodded in agreement as she walked over to her bed. Baralai went over to his own and clambered in.
"I'm really sorry! I don't know what i was thinking?!?" he added,
"It's ok!"
"I didn't mean to offend you in any way!"
"It's fine! We should just foget about it!" She leaned over and switched the light off, before lying down!
"What do you think the others are doing?" asked Baralai, trying to change the subject,
"Well we know what Rikku and Gippal are doing!"
"Sleeping!" he grinned,"It's weird, they wre both so excited about meeting up, yet they fell asleep as soon as they hit the beds!"
"Guess drink effects them badly!"
"What do you think Yuna and Tidus are doing?"
"Who knows!?! They could still be wandering around Luca!"
"Yeah, i haven't seen them since we left the restaurant! Y'know...i'm really sorry!"
"It's ok! Just leave it now, it's not a moment i want to remember for the rest of my life!"
"Don't you like me?"
"Listen, i don't want to discuss this! Wether i like you or not doesn't need to be brought up!"
"So you don't like me?" he joked,
"For Yevon's sake Baralai of corse i like you! Now shut up!"
"Sorry!" he said, just before a pillow hit his head, "I only said 'sorry'!"
"I said be quiet!"
He threw the pillow back at her, but she caught it and put it underneath her head! They were silent for a second, before Baralai continued!
"Are you cold?" he asked,
"Argh! NO! Aren't you tired?"
"No!"
"Baralai, i'm tired, i'm angry-"
"Did i make you angry?"
"YES! And if you don't zip it, i might just have to kill you!"
"You know, you're starting to soung like Rikku!"
"What?"
"Only slightly!"
He could feel her glaring at him throught the darkness, he got up!
"What are you doing now?" she asked "I thought you said to be quiet!" he said, grinning!
"Well, it's kinda hard to sleep with you pratting about the room!"
"I'm coming to give you a hug!"
"Excuse me?!?"
"I'm joking!" he said, disappearing into the bathroom. All of a sudden, Paine could make out the outline of his head, pop round the door frame! "Do you want one?"
"No, bugger off!"
"Spoilsport!"
"Don't make me hurt you! I'm serious!"
"So am i! You're not a very cuddley, type of person are you?"
"What's that s'pose to mean?"
"Y'know, you don't like to be cuddled!"
"Who says that?"
"Well, you don't let people get very near to you, you always seem kind of..off with them!"
"So that means i don't like hugs?!?"
"Well..."
"Baralai, i don't have to be totaly emotional, all the time!"
"Yeah, i guess so! Sorry!"
"It's fine!"
"Have you had many hugs in your lifetime?" he asked, leaning on the doorframe,
"To be honest, no! You?" she answered.
"Not really!" he paused, then walked over to her bed! He leant down, resting his elbows on the side of it, "Guess you've been through a lot! Huh?" "Yeah! But it really doesn't need talking about, i'm getting over it!"
"Are you?"
"Yes!" she replied matter of factly.
He got up slightly, leaning over so's he could wrap his arms around her in a friendly fashion! She hugged him back saying, "Ok, you've had your hug, now go to sleep!"
He put some of his wait on her and made a snoring sound!
"What's happened to you, you've gone back to the childish, jokey Baralai i used to know?!?"
"What's wrong with that?" he asked, standing himself up straight.
"I'm not sure it's a good thing!"
"Well, i guess i'm just realxed. I haven't actually been able to have much fun lately!"
"What about Gippal?"
"Well to be honest, he's gone kinda girl mad at the mo'!"
"I thought you would have loved that! Or are you gay?" she joked,
"I'm not bloody gay! Why are you?"
"No!"
"Well then...y'know, i don't have to be a girl obsessive to still be hetrasexual!"
"Ok! Sorry, guess i hit a nerve!.... Anyway, do you like any one at the moment?"
"Maybe."He said, moving around the bed.
"Well that's an obvious yes! Who?" she asked, feeling a weird sence of jelousy, which she wished she could ignore.
It was Baralai's turn to be secretive, he said nothing. Just sat down on his bed!
"Well...?"
"Well do you like anyone?"
Paine gave it a quick thought, "Not really!"
"Sure?"
She didn't answer, ther was another awkward silence.
"Paine...I...do y-...,"
"Maybe!" She answered. She seemed to have understood his question, "Do you?"
"What's the question?" He joked.
"Baralai, don't make the situation any worse than it already is!"
He knew what the question was, 'Do you like me more than a friend'
"Would you freak out if i told you the truth?" he asked,
"I don't know what the truth is, but probably not!"
"Maybe then!"
"So we both might like each other, more than just friends! Great!"
"Guess that's when being able to hide your feelings well is a pain!"he pointed out!
"Yeah, guess so!"
"Paine, I really do like you! Much more than just a friend!"
A.N. Ok! I know it was odd! But my mind has been frazeled with school work so i haven't been able to think of anything good! And i'm really sorry since there was loads of speech and not enough discription there! But i'm tired! So, i hope you din't find it 100 bad! Also i would really appreciate any reveiws! Thanku! :D
