Author's note: Hi, I'm back and late again but I've been thinking some things over. Something that I'm going to do is that I'll be doing one day of the week, so that way, it'll last longer and see how happy everyone will be. I will end this soon though and maybe with an ending that some of you wont like but I always like putting stories to a happy ending so don't think it'll be that bad. Anyways, I'm almost done and I'm off to read you're guys fanfics that I wasn't able to get to in awhile!

Tidus POV

Chapter thirty: Talking Over Things

"I have to leave this world since I had defeated Vunita and that will cause me to leave. It is because she fears that other spirits will be waiting to use my body as their next host." Those words kept ringing in my ears. I knew that it would be something that I would never forget. Why though, why did it have to be her?…

"Tidus?" she asked me all of a sudden as we walked back to the shore. "Are you-"

"Yes, I'm okay," I interrupted her. "Look, just… I…" I didn't know what to say, she would be leaving in a week and I was acting stupid. "Yuna… I just… look, hey, um - whatever!" I felt it, the tears, they were coming.

All this time, we had just done this just to get together again but now… what about now? We were separating and all that just for nothing. Of course it was something but…. I shook my head and went into the Celsius. At first thought I was going to go back to Besaid and tell the others but I avoided that thought instead. I ran to our room which soon would be just my room and chucked myself on the bed, near the headboard….

…Moments after I heard her voice… "Tidus?" I didn't respond to what she was calling me for. I didn't look up, the hair was covering my eyes and were shut closed while tears squeezed free through the corners. "Oh, Tidus." She sat on the other end of the bed and made her way upwards, to me. I was crying now, it was to hard to hold it in….

Yuna POV

What was he so scared of? No. That wasn't it, he was in sorrow for me leaving in a week. There was no telling that he would stop to look up at me and so I went to him and placed my hands on his upper thighs….

Tidus POV

I still didn't look at the woman that I loved so much, why was she doing this to me? She knew that I hurt inside and badly right at this moment. She… I felt her lips up against mine. Don't respond Tidus, don't respond back to it… she… But I found myself give in and started to kiss her back. I missed her and why didn't I just look at the time that we had left for each other and spend it wisely?

When she pulled back, I looked at her and saw that she had started to cry, too. There was a sleepy smile on her face while she supported her weight by putting her hands on my thighs and placing herself between my legs. "How are we now?" she whispered.

"I…" I turned my head away from her and started at the wall but she prevented me from doing that any longer.

"Hey…" She took her right hand and put it at my chin, turning my face to look at her. "Tidus," she pouted. My eyes were looking down though she had my faced turned to her. "Come on, look at me in the face, please?"

There was no more excuses. I gave in and gazed at her clumsily. "What is it that you want?" I mumbled.

"Oh… come on." She tried smiling but it was hard for her. "Look, just um… you know that I have a week left with you and all the others but mostly with you." I nodded and she continued, "Well, I think. You remember when I first met you a long time ago? Why don't, well, you know, I said that when we're ready and um…."

I knew that she wanted to make love to me now… or later? But she… I think that she thinks that she's ready for it. But I'm still thinking that it's to early and we're only seventeen still. I sighed then lifted my eyes to meet her bi-coloured ones. "Yuna…" I muttered.

"So would you?" she asked hopefully.

"I… don't think so…."

"But why? Are you pushing me away from this? Are you scared? Why, Tidus. I'm only going to be here for a week, and nothing else."

Once again, I stared blankly at the wall but she didn't turn my head back to her this time. She let me be. "Yuna, is this what you want? We're not doing it for love, we're doing it because we're thinking that we'll never be able to do it another time. But I want to do this for love…." I was hoping that the words didn't hurt her.

She slammed her fists on my thighs and that caused me to look at her surprised. Tears raged from her eyes and she gasped for air. "Tidus… I… just - I'm sorry!" She fell into my arms and cried. Her body rested against mine. There was no choice for me but to embrace her.

I held her and hushed her. I was sorry. She was asking for it and for love but still… it was to early. Maybe, just maybe just before she would leave then I would allow it. "Later," I said firmly, "later."

"Later, what?" she mumbled.

"Later, we'll do it together."

"You make it sound so wrong," she giggled.

I smiled a half grin and scratched my head. "Hey, anyway I made you laugh. We got a week only, you know so I want to make the best of it."

She nodded slowly, understanding. I felt like I was the one who was so weak, so scared, while she was the one who was going to accept it and face that she had to go. After all we've been through I knew that she had changed - and I. Her life changed and she made it better… with me helping her. I would miss her… how would I survive without her?

"You know…" she started, "I never thought that it would come to an end like this. Maybe someday I'll see you? Will you promise me that you will wait for me until I come back? Will you?" Yuna asked staring down somewhere passed the bed.

"I will," I whispered. There was nothing to fight about… and to come of think of it, I felt that there was nothing to do at the moment. I was becoming bored but just thinking about Yuna and just listening to her breathing up against me, let me live at this moment. But when she would leave… the others could live but what about me? I had to move on but I didn't want to love any other woman. I couldn't.

"What are you thinking about?" Yuna asked suddenly that I just broke away from my thoughts. "You seem like your off somewhere else."

I shook my head. I didn't want her to feel bad just as I was, I didn't want to make matters worse for the thinking. "Nothing."

"Oh, come on. Everyone has to be thinking of something. To come of think of it, if your thinking of nothing you are thinking since you are thinking of nothing. So in that case you are thinking of something. Besides, people usually say that when they have something on mind but are hiding something."

Meh, she was good. Yes, she was right, I was thinking of something that I was hiding from her and I didn't want to tell her. Instead, I replied by saying, "You already know but you just don't know you know."

She gave me a puzzled look that just made me think she was so cute. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that you already know but you don't know you know."

"That's what you just said!"

"I know because that's what I mean."

"Hey, define it in other words please."

"Okay. I mean that you just forgot."

"Oh… I knew that…. I want to know…."

"I'm sorry but you already know. Besides I think it's best if we don't talk about it. I think that you'll just feel opposite to what you are feeling now if you found out." I thought of something else. "Hmmm…. Would you like to go somewhere off in Spira tomorrow?"

She looked up to me and smiled. "Sure."

The problem is, I didn't know where just yet.
