Yuna stood in the spotlight with her microphone in hand as Tidus watched her with almost a hypnotic gaze. 'She's even more beautiful that I remember.' The soft music started and Yuna began to sing.
I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
Tidus remembered avoiding Yuna's questions about what they fayth had said when they kept saying their dream would end. A phrase Yuna had said to him two years ago was still burned into his memory, "You're a bad liar."
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
'I kept avoiding the question, and when the moment finally came and Yuna told she love me, I didn't tell her.'
Save your tears cause I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain, when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart
'I did come back Yuna, I came back for you, so we can be together again. I have to tell you how much I love you.'
Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see
I know they're reaching you, suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
Rikku nodded to him and the pair silently walked to a dark corner by the entrance. "Shinra, were ready as soon as she's done."
The young boy's voice returned, "Gotcha, I'll send him over there as soon as she finishes."
Rikku smiled towards Tidus, "Good luck."
Oh a thousand words
(a thousand words)
Have never been spoken
(ohh yeah)
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home
(carry you home)
and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
(on silver wings!)
And a thousand words
(ohh)
Call out through the ages
(call through the ages!)
They'll cradle you
(ohh yeah)
Making all of the lonely years to lonely days
(lonely days)
They'll hold you forever
Ohhh, a thousand words
As Yuna sang those last words, she looked at the balcony housing her friends and smiled as the loud cheering and clapping rang out through the stadium. Her happiness consumed her and the moment couldn't have been any better, but it was. As she waved to her former guardians a hand tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and gasped, her microphone falling to the ground as her hands covered her mouth in shock, Tidus. It was Tidus, with his Zanarkand Abes uniform and that wide grin. Moving one of her hands that had covered her mouth in shock, she slowly and cautiously put it to his cheek. "Are you real?" She asked, barely above a whisper.
As Yuna's hand touched his cheek he closed his eyes hoping never to forget the feeling, "Yes Yuna, I'm real." He opened his eyes once more and looked into Yuna's blue and green irises. The past summoner broke into a laugh and encircled his neck with her arms and hugged him with everything she could.
"I'm never letting go," she whispered into his ear.
"I don't want you to," he didn't care that all of Spira was watching, he didn't care about anything at that moment, except Yuna. He withdrew himself from the hug and held her hands in his, "Yuna, two years ago, when I was leaving," he sighed, "and you told me you loved me," he swallowed hard. "I never told you that I loved you too."
Yuna's eyes, filled with those of happy tears, looked at him and smiled. "I knew Tidus, I knew."
Tidus looked at the summoner and truly smiled as the two laughed. He brought her in for a kiss that neither of them would ever forget. As they kissed they were lost in their own world, they could not hear the thunderous cheering and clapping still coming from the stands.

Well, a bit revised so that the lines of the song don't run into each other. If you haven't already read this chapter than review or if you have already read this chapter then, oh well, review anyway.
