Yay! Three chapters in the same day! Hee hee...okay, I'm on a roll now. Now things start to get a little more heated up...and a little more graphic. (You've been warned!) This chapter isn't that graphic...but the next one...welll...I'm not gonna post it yet because I want to let it sit a few days and then I can see if there's anything I need to add to it. This chapter here, though, is a lot longer than I thought it was going to be...but it was fun to write. :o) I hope you enjoy!

27. Turn the Heat Up

Once again Tidus felt that nothing could dampen his high spirits. As long as things stay the way they are...that is, as long as Yuna and I stay flirtatious with a few kisses now and again, I can die a happy man! He thought, reflecting on the previous night as he drove to school the next morning. The idea that they actually studied the previous night surprised him more than anything. Although they spent a little time embracing and kissing, it didn't go any further than that. It was his initiative to study more too, which really pleasantly impressed Yuna. They studied with her sitting on his lap with the book in her lap, reading and explaining things to him while his arms were wrapped securely around her waist. When he left her house that night (after saying good night to her parents as well, Ha, I'm such a suck up, I love it!), he gently gave her a kiss on the lips that sent shivers up both of their spines. What is this? A weekly thing? He thought as he drummed along with the song on the radio. I go for a tutoring session and we end up sweetly kissing? I pray it's more than that!

He pulled into A-East's parking lot and inhaled the crisp autumn weather as he stepped out of his car. After he locked his car, he tossed his keys up in the air, caught them, and then put them into the pocket of his jeans. My life is great right now! He thought with a large grin. As he looked around the courtyard in hopes to find Yuna, he saw a sign that said, "Homecoming King and Queen voting: In two weeks! Don't forget to vote!" I'm going to be homecoming king, I'm going to have the most beautiful girl in school on my arm the entire night, and we're going to have a wonderful time...He noticed there was a slight bounce in his step as he advanced toward the school. I have never felt this extremely happy in my entire life, what the hell is wrong with me? Not that I'm complaining or anything...

He looked around at the people who were lounging in the school's courtyard before class started as he climbed up the stairs. They were all just enjoying the beautiful fall weather and basking in the sunlight, occasionally waving and saying 'hi' to him as he walked by. Tidus knew that before long this beautiful fall weather would turn into the frigid blizzard weather that Zanarkand receives every year, and no one would be sitting outside anymore. Yeah, that's what we get for living in a town so far north...he thought as he said 'good morning' to one of the cheerleaders and opened the door. However, snow does mean having to snuggle with someone under a blanket to keep warm...

Tidus had to laugh at himself for being so giddy. He even woke up early to remotely dress up, just to express his cheerfulness with the rest of Spira. He felt that if he had sex with the entire cheerleading team he wouldn't have even been this happy. But then again, Yuna is on the cheerleading squad...He thought was his smile brightened. He looked at his watch and realized that he had a good ten minutes before school started, so he went straight to Yuna's locker without even stopping at his own first.

He could see her at her locker and he stopped in his tracks when she was in his sight. She was wearing a rather short jean skirt with a lacy white halter top and strappy white stilettos. Her hair was down and curled outward and her make up was done perfectly; she looked outstanding. He watched her as she slowly bend over to put her books in her locker, and his jaw dropped. If she were to go down any further, I would be able to see her underwear...Which makes me wonder what they look like...He shut his mouth, exhaled to control himself, and continued to walk over to her.

Yuna quietly hummed to herself as she started to grab her books for history class. She was happy, yet had a lot of doubt entwined with most of her thoughts. She wasn't sure what any of Tidus' actions meant the previous night, if anything at all. As she gazed blankly at the inside of her locker, she sighed at herself for being so pessimistic. He probably just wanted to get some action...She thought, moving a tendril of hair out of her face. Her head was filled with the constant warnings that she had received about him from everyone that she knew; He's a player, Yuna, he doesn't want a relationship or anything. He even said so himself at Wakka's on Tuesday! She shook her head at the thoughts, but couldn't shake them off of her mind.

She looked over her shoulder to see a very happy boy with blonde locks walk over her way, almost as if she had a sixth sense of knowing he was coming. She had to smile at his boyish ways as he walked over to her, swept her up in his arms and planted a kiss gently on her lips. Well, it's a good thing I haven't gotten my books out yet or else they would be all over the floor! Yuna was slightly embarrassed as everyone around them began to gawk, and she nervously put her hair behind her ear when he put her down.

"How are you this morning?" He asked her as he wrapped his arms around her once again. He inhaled the scent of her hair and happily exhaled. Mmm...Vanilla...She returned the embrace and looked up at him with a smile on her face.

"I'm not that bad, how about yourself?" He couldn't help but lean over and kiss her again as his response. "I'll take that as you're doing well."

Instead of replying back to her, he deepened the kiss by bringing her closer to him and slipping his tongue in her mouth. She giggled, and surrendered to his kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck, trying not to burst out into laughter over the fact that she was making out with the most popular guy at school in the middle of the hallway. She ran her fingers through his hair and they both jumped about six feet in the air when they heard a voice behind them.

"And you tell me to get a room, Ti?" They whipped around to see Rikku standing there with a smirk on her face. She had to laugh and shake her head at the both of them and she placed her books on her hip.

"Hey, Rikku," they both said at the same time, making Rikku grimace.

"Are you guys going to start wearing matching outfits or something as well?" She burst out into giggles and Tidus put his hand on her head and messed up her hair. She let out a yelp and smacked Tidus on the chest. "Hey, do not mess with my hair!"

"The frizz thing looks very hot on you, Ri, don't fight it!" Tidus flashed Rikku a huge smile and she could only roll her eyes and smile back as she frantically tried to fix her hair with her free hand.

"Ha ha," she said facetiously to Tidus, then she looked over at Yuna, who was still being held close to Tidus. "By the by, Yuna, we're probably going to have a really long rehearsal tonight because we're going to work our asses off on the routine that we started on Wednesday. It's going okay, but we need to learn a lot more and I have a lot of neat ideas and stuff. So yay."

Did she just say 'so yay?' Yuna asked herself as she smiled and nodded at Rikku. Oh my Yevon...I never want to be that kind of cheerleader...

"All right, Rikku, we'll talk to you later," Tidus said, leaning over to resume the make out session that he was highly enjoying with Yuna.

"I can take a hint!" She scoffed at them for making out in front of her, so she turned on her heel and walked away.

Ha ha! Payback's a bitch, isn't it! Tidus thought as he ran his hand up to Yuna's neck as they were in the middle of a passionate kiss. Serves the bitch right for making out with Gippal in front of me all these years!

Okay, Yuna...you're in a state of euphoria and you know it! Yuna happily walked to all of her classes all day, seeing Tidus between every class. She started to wipe the doubt clear from her mind and just decided to enjoy whatever it was that was going on between them. Kissing him meant more to her than anything in the world. He was so passionate and gentle with his kisses that she felt that it was only them in the hallway and no one else. The fact that he was the most popular guy at school, the star of the blitzball team, and the most gorgeous guy at school made her feel like she was living in a dream world. He's just like a dream...I'm going to wake up any minute! She thought to herself repeatedly throughout the day.

Every time he walked over to her, she felt as if her heart was going to beat out of her chest with excitement. She felt as if she wanted to hold him close to her for eternity and never let him go. She couldn't describe the way he made her feel when his tongue caressed hers or the way he brought her body closer his. She loved the way he ran his fingers through her hair, the way he kissed her neck, the way he gently nibbled on her earlobes; basically every time he made contact with her she felt as if she was being sent straight to the Farplane. However, he was an expert at everything sexual, and that made her feel slightly intimidated. I have a lot to learn…but I guess that we're going to be each other's tutors for two different subjects...She thought with a giggle as she walked to her locker at the end of the day.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tidus asked as he wrapped his arms around her from behind and started to gently kiss her neck. "You weren't going to run off to practice without seeing me first, were you?"

"Of course not!" She responded as she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. He placed his forehead on hers so he could look directly into her beautiful bi-colored eyes. She was pleased to see the sparkle in his eyes as he turned his head to kiss her. She broke the kiss to say, "I was just about to find you."

"Well, here I am," he said with a huge seductive smile. He moved his head and started to kiss up her jawbone up to her ear lobes. He stopped to gently whisper in her ear, "Now that you've found me, what are you going to do with me?"

His breath tickled her ears, turning her on. She wanted to just pin him against the locker and let her hormones take over, but she figured that the school's main hallway was not the place for doing that. Instead, she softly giggled and ran her fingers gently up and down his back. His hand moved from her back down her to rear and squeezed slightly. He moved her closer to him so she could feel every muscle in his body. Hmm...it does not take much to get this boy turned on...She thought as she felt a specific one against her leg.

"What do you want me to do to you?" She asked in a very seductive manner, and in almost a whisper.

"I don't think you want to know the answer to that question," he replied honestly as he moved back to her lips. I want you to slowly undress then tie me to my bed with your clothing…then explore every inch of my body with your mouth...He thought as her hot, pink tongue flicked against his.

"Maybe I do," she said as she backed up so she was against her locker. Since she didn't want him further away than an inch apart, she grabbed his shirt with her fingers and pulled him against her. He inhaled in surprise, but responded by moving his hand under her shirt and resting it on her bare back.

"Oh, really?" He said with a chuckle as he continued to kiss her. She exhaled as they were kissing, almost as a silent moan. He started to trail his finger from his other hand up her leg, which was slightly bent and leaning against his own, resisting the urge to just move his hand under her short skirt.

"Well, what are you doing tonight after practice?" She spoke between kisses, getting only one word out at a time. "I can show you then."

He broke the kiss as he looked her in the eye to see if he could tell if she was joking or not. She playfully bit her lip, tantalizing him, as he trailed his finger up to her waist. "Oh, you better not be joking around with me. Teasing is not a cool thing to do, and I really don't want to be disappointed."

"I'm being completely serious," she replied as she could feel him growing against her leg. With a raised eyebrow, she asked, "turned on?"

"What, like you can't feel that?" He asked as she giggled.

"Oh no, I can feel it," she said as she put her hand on his thigh, very close to the growing bulge in his pants.

"This is the affect you have on me, I hope you know that."

Closing her eyes, she leaned in and gently nibbled on his earlobes. When she opened her eyes again, she could see the look of lust and desire in his. "I do know that, and I like it."

"Well, what are you going to do about it?" He asked her as he playfully raised his eyebrows. "I have some ideas in my head, but I would rather hear yours."

"Again I reiterate, what are you doing tonight?" She seductively licked her lips as she looked at him and he once again had to kiss her with fervor. He pressed her against her locker and continued to kiss her.

"That better be an open invitation because I need to see you tonight," naked...He added in his head. The sexual frustration in him was growing so rapidly and he felt as if he was just going to burst.

"Call me?" She asked as she traced the shape of his lips gently with her tongue.

"You don't even have to ask," he stated as he pulled her closer to him.

"Good," she said as she put her hands on the back of his neck to bring him into another kiss. "It's not my fault if my desire is so strong that I ask you to hurt me a little bit."

"Is that a threat or a promise?" He asked with a very large and intrigued grin.

"It's a guarantee," she said as she brought him into one final kiss. "All right, I gotta go or else Rikku will strangle me with her hair."

"Oddly enough, I can see her doing that to someone. All joking aside though, I gotta get to blitz," he said as he kissed her neck again.

"I'm serious, Tidus," she warned with a giggle as he began gently nipping at her neck.

"I am too," he said as he stopped. "Okay, I gotta go before I can't stop."

"Well, save it for tonight." She gave him a flirtatious wave as she broke out of his embrace and turned around. "Bye."

"Bye," he replied quietly as he licked his lips and looked at his watch. Yep, gonna be late again, what a shocker...He turned on his heel and sprinted to the sphere pool.

Hee hee...yay, Yuna's starting to be a bad girl! I liked the part where they started to make out in front of Rikku...lol. Also...how Yuna said kissing Tidus was like kissing a dream...anyone catch that? (bah dum cssh! Just a little FFX humor mixed in there lol) Another thing...anyone else channel Paine when Yuna said, "Turned on?" lol...cuz the second I wrote that, I thought of Paine. Okay...I hope you liked this chapter...and I will update probably Sunday night because I'm going home this weekend...and I won't have a chance to update until then. Please R and R! I love everyone's reviews, you rock my world!

P.S. I'm really excited for the next chapter... :o)
