I've got many reviews... but they're from the same people. Anyway, tell me if you need more mushy chapters! Tell me if you don't want mushy chapters. And, I'm out of ideas - so the next chapters might take longer than the other chapters. And thank you for telling me that I'm a good writer. hapi hapi hapi...
Chapter 8
Something you don't see everyday about Gippal
After the romance in Mi'hen highroad, after the big commotion in Luca, Gippal stayed in the Celsius for some reason.
Brother always complained about Gippal's messy attitude. But Rikku was always there to 'defend' her boyfriend. Always keeping him in her hidden room in the engine room or the cabin.
Yuna didn't talk to Gippal. And she avoided Gippal.
Djose and Bikanel had another Al Bhed to take over Gippal's place for a while. The people thought Gippal deserved some days off.
Some Al Bhed women envied Rikku. Not only because of her 'cute' looks, her fighting skills and her confident attitude to reveal a lot of skin, but it was because she had something they didn't. Gippal.
"Rikku," Gippal called the name of the person who he loved and wanted the most.
He was in the cabin, sitting on the sofa. (A/n: there's a sofa, right?) Rikku was walked around, thinking.
"Fryd?" (What?) Rikku replied, a little pissed. Gippal had been calling her name for quite a while. She continued walking.
"Muug, ev oui fyhhy fymg, sekrd yc famm kad ehdu fetan knuihtc."(Look, if you wanna walk, might as well get into wider grounds!) Gippal suggested.
"No thanks." Rikku pouted.
"Ruf ypuid Calm Lands? Un Luca? Un Mi'hen?" (How about Calm Lands? Or Luca? Or Mi'hen?) Gippal added, "Hey, you wanna dig in the desert?"
Rikku stomped her foot and stood straight. She made an annoyed sound and retorted, "Cr - crid ib, Gippal!" (Shut up, Gippal)
Gippal's eye (A/n: ha! I didn't type 'eyes'!) widened, "Okay..."
There was silence for a moment.
"Oui fyhd sa du mayja?"(You want me to leave?) Gippal asked.
"Rikku shook her head, "No. Sorry, Gip, I - I just,"
At that point, Gippal knew she had problems. And he wanted to help.
Both went up to the deck. It was good that Cid was not there anymore - he went to Zanarkand.
"What's up with you, eh?" Gippal asked, sitting down in the middle.
Rikku just stood there, "Ghufehk oui, oui fuimth'd lyna." (Knowing you, you wouldn't care.)
With that, Gippal somehow felt that Rikku already wanted to break up. Causing him a feeling in his heart to breakdown, "Are you sure you don't want me to leave?" he asked again, standing up.
"NO! NO!" Rikku replied, walking near Gippal, insisting him not to leave.
Gippal smirked and held Rikku's hands, "Rikku, if you have a problem, you can always talk to me. (A/n: Yeah! Coz' that's what boyfriends do.)
Rikku smiled, "Okay." then she giggled childishly.
Both sat down. Rikku started discussing about Yuna and how she avoided her.
Moments later, Rikku was crying. Gippal had his arm around her to comfort her.
(A/n: Doesn't it make you think that Gippal's taking advantage of Rikku's current emotion? Well, he's not, if you think that he is.)
""...suna dryh y jano kuut vneaht... cra'c mega y cecdan du sa!" (...more than a very good friend... she's like a sister to me!) Rikku sobbed.
Gippal, obviously, wasn't 'trained' to take care of problems like that... he just talked too much. And whatever came out of his mouth, people considered it as an advice.
"...Then, try talk to her... It's not like she's gonna hurt you or something." Gippal replied in an awkward voice.
He actually gave a decent advice - a serious advice. The last advice he gave was for this person who wanted to be an expert in digging. Gippal's advice was: "kad y 'sylrehy-bynd-tadaldun' yht y crujam." (Get a 'machina-part-detector' and a shovel.)
And what was surprising was he actually listened to every word Rikku told him - that's something Gippal wouldn't do everyday...
