Hope no one thought that last chapter was boring if they did I am sorry. Hope you enjoy this chapter though. It is rather short this one but still try and enjoy it.
I woke up with a pounding headache. There was a glass ¼ full of vodka by the side of my bed. I didn't remember much from last night all I remember was leaving the party and me and Tidus and we...
Shit! Oh bugger we kissed!! No! Oh Fayth. Yuna's never going to speak to me again. I know Paine said they weren't going out, but it is obvious Tidus was waiting to ask her. I have to explain to Tidus I was drunk and it was all a misunderstanding. No I'll leave it. No I should tell him. Oh Fayth! I don't know. No I'll leave it. I'll leave it until he asks.
At the weekend they went down to the Moonflow again. They had another game of Blitzball. It was a good game, which had started fun at first but ended up in a water fight. It had started when Paine tackled Luthae. Luthae had grabbed Tidus and pulled him down underwater, by accident. Then he swam after her and splashed her, Luthae retaliated but missed and splashed Rikku. Then they'd all ended up soaking each other in water, so much that when they'd got to school they had to stand outside and get Sammi to bring them towels to wrap up in.
The weekend after that Tidus promised to give Luthae lessons in Blitzball in exchange for art lessons. That had also turned into a laugh, but not sure how. There had been a lot of laughing coming from the playing field. After that however they'd talked and told each other a bit more about themselves, and what had happened in their lives. Luthae kept her story to a minimum.
Luthae had still not forgotten about the kiss though. It was tormenting her. The fact he didn't say anything about it made her feel like she'd forced him into it. Like he was scared of her. She decided she would confront him about it tomorrow.
The next day Luthae went into the bathroom after a shower, she quickly pulled on some new clothes some black trousers with a skirt attached over them and a red strappy top, forgetting about the sphere on her bedside table and rushed to find Tidus. She found him in the playing field.
"Tidus!" she called running over to him.
"Oh hey Luthae!" he called back, waving at her.
"Tidus," she panted when she got to him, "I am so sorry about what happened yesterday."
The guys who Tidus had been giving Blitzball coaching moved away thinking it wasn't a good time for them to be there and stood out of ear shot.
"What do you mean about last night?" He asked
"The party," Luthae said, "And us. On the balcony."
"Fayth," Tidus said realising, "Look everyone's got me saying it now. If you didn't want to-."
"I was drunk," Luthae said sobbing.
"Hey it's okay." Tidus comforted, hugging her.
I don't believe it. He made me feel guiltier. He was so kind and forgiving and funny. He made me feel like a person, like I had some value.
I love him, but he can never know that. Yuna stands in our way.
"I won't tell Yuna." Luthae continued sobbing but tried not to show it.
"Yuna?!" Tidus said surprised. Luthae moved away from him slightly looking at him, "What's Yuna got to do with anything?" Tidus asked.
"You know," Luthae began looking at her feet self-consciously shuffling her feet, "You're going out." She murmured. Tidus began to laugh.
"It's not funny!" Luthae sobbed sulkily but couldn't help smiling.
"Yuna?! What made you think that?"
"Come on you're obviously smitten with her. I've seen the way you look at her and she looks at you."
"Well maybe I was once, but not now I've met you." He now spoke softly and tenderly but seriously, lifting Luthae's head up so their eyes met. (Tidus was taller than Luthae).
"Never look up at me like a superior again." He said, "I should be looking up at you."
"Why?" Luthae asked
"Because you're more of a person than I could ever be," he continued, "You never think of yourself or winning. You just want to help, and stop conflict. You value everyone and give them strength, and yet you still look as if everyone's higher than you. You should be the one everyone looks up at. You're more of a person than anyone in Spira, and they realise that too."
"Yeah right," Luthae said, "You're just saying that to make me feel better. If people do realise I'm better then why does everyone like Yuna?"
"Because they cannot see it is you who helped Spira. They realised someone did but did not see it was you. They see Yuna. They are blind, they just saw Sin and the one who defeated it as a hero. What would have happened if no one came to defeat Sin? What would have happened then? Although what you did seemed pointless it wasn't and I see that. You're also funny and look out for people like a friend and that's also what I like about you." He paused, "I love you."
He held her close, stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead. Luthae felt comforted by his words. Those words. I love you. I love you. They meant more to Luthae than the most precious diamond. She started crying.
"I don't deserve this." She wept
"You're right," Tidus consoled her, "You deserve more, but I can only love you I feel so worthless." Tidus then began to sob with anger and regret. His head fell against her shoulder
"Shhh," Luthae whispered. She cradled his head, lifted his head up and put her finger on his lips, "Love is all I need." She kissed him. He returned it. They kissed passionately, seeming to comfort each other's worries. They now both knew now that she loved him and he loved her. They were both content and now knew nothing would drag them down. As long as they had each other.
Ahhhhh see very lovey dovey. Hope it didn't make some of you throw up lol. That's all til next time. R&R
