WARNING: Chapter rated M
Well exams are over. You can now expect updates! Sorry I've been so neglectful lately. I had real trouble writing this chapter.
Anyway this chapter kinda crosses to the M rating; well it's only the stuff in italics that is M. But only this chapter so the overall rating remains T. If ya don't like this kinda stuff, then I suggest you just wait for the next chapter. I don't think the content is that bad, but the warning is there for a reason.
Tidus POV
Delicate hands sweeping soft chestnut hair gracefully from her face. Eyelashes fluttering as the most stunning and unique set of eyes is revealed. Soft lips forming words carried on the voice of an angel.
Since the first time I saw her, I knew there was something truly special about Yuna. She looked so pure, so innocent, and so beautiful. And as time passed and we grew closer, she made me feel like I never had before.
I remember the night I first saw her, I had a dream. A dream that we ran away together. To my Zanarkand.
A fantasy.
But as we progressed through the pilgrimage it became more. I would show her my home. Take her to a blitz game, and show off just for her. Show her my favourite places, the secluded beach where you could escape to and forget you were seconds from the city that never sleeps. And I'd show her the sunrise…
Then one day my dream shattered. The day I learned the horrific truth about Yuna's journey. That day I just wanted to break down. The one I loved would be killed. And I was helping her go towards her death.
All the things I had said to her, encouraging her to continue, encouraging her to defeat Sin, encouraging her to die, they all came back to haunt me.
None of the other guardians felt that I had done anything bad, after all I hadn't known. But when I thought of what I had said it tore me to shreds.
I knew I had to apologize, and hope she didn't hate me for saying it. But of course, first, we had to go and stop her marrying that piece of scum.
The moment we were held at gunpoint, forced to watch as she was made to kiss him… I wanted to kill him. The adrenaline was pumping through my body, ready to pounce and kill him in a primal act of aggression. Even if I only got one punch in before he destroyed me. The only thing that stopped me was my fear of what they would do to Yuna…
I should have been more worried about what she would do to herself. The moment she let herself fall back off of that ledge I didn't have a clue what to do. There was no way I could help her. I felt so powerless.
Believe…
When she said that, I did. I believed she had a way out. I didn't doubt her for a second. The others didn't believe; well I think Kimahri may have, but Wakka, Rikku and Lulu looked petrified and even Auron looked more sombre than usual.
They should have known to trust her though, like I did. She didn't let us down. She never did…
...It was then she stirred beside me, subconsciously turning to face me, a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she let out an inaudible mumble.
I felt a smile stretch across my face. It was strange that something so simple made me so happy. But then, never had I thought we could be like this, lying serenely side by side, with no one to trouble us, no evil presence waiting to tear us apart.
And with that thought I realised just how special this was. How lucky I was. We were never meant to be together, one of us was always destined to die for the other. Yet here we were. That was something special, something to cherish.
I reached out to stroke her supple skin, before sinking back into the soft pillows, wrapping the cotton sheet around me. As sleep snuck on me, I let it take me, while reflecting on the time spent with the one I loved…
… Her soft lips on mine, her arms tight around my waist, it was heaven. I broke the kiss, and drew back to look at her, to take a minute just to soak in her presence. The smell of her supple skin, the way her hair framed her face perfectly, and the way my name sounded as it rolled off her tongue with ease. There was moonlight filtering in through the wooden shutters at her window, and the pale light shimmered over her skin. My eyes travelled the length of her body, and returned to her face. At that point, I felt her small hands at the back of my neck, forcing my head to meet hers…
… As our tongues danced her hands roamed my back while mine traced the curves of her body before sneaking inside her top and pushing it up over her head…
… Her ivory skin glistened with sweat in the moonlight and I saw a hint of a blush sneak onto her face…
… Her breathing became increasingly rapid and she writhed under me uncontrollably...
…and as we moved as one, I never wanted the moment to end. I was lost in her, and she lost in me, and soon our passion flooded through out bodies causing the most wonderful sensation to flow through me. Yuna's soft moans became gradually louder and her name was ripped from my lips…
I felt an arm snake its way around my waist and opening my eyes slightly I saw Yuna gaze at me sleepily, smile, then close her eyes to once again slip to the world of dreams. And as she did I thought…
…Love.
That pretty much sums up the emotion felt that night. However if you read deeper into it, you would see: Fear. Of hurting her. Nervousness. Of making sure I made her feel as if she were in the Farplane. Passion. Wanting to be with her, get lost in her. And Lust. Needing to have her. Needing to show her that she didn't have to miss me anymore
But the main thing was Love. Undeterred, unconditional love. It overwhelmed me, and my every action, every movement was driven by it. I had never understood love. Had never felt it before I met Yuna, and could never have imagined what it would be like to experience it. And thanks to Yuna, I have. Thanks to Yuna, I have found peace; I have found a home where I really feel I belong. We've had our story, now for the happily ever after.
Dream on…
