Chapter 12: Final Destination: Bevelle
0000
"We're here!" Tidus yelled from behind the wheel. He guided the Navigator through the busy streets of Bevelle, looking for their hotel.
"Thank heavens!" Rikku cried happily, looking from one side to the other, trying to see all of the big city.
"We actually made it," Lulu added, also checking out the busy city.
"You sound shocked," Yuna observed.
"I am."
"Where is the hotel?" Auron queried. He desperately wanted to get out of the truck and stretch his legs.
Wakka looked out his window and spotted a very large, tall building. "I think were at it, Brudda."
Tidus pulled into a large parking lot that matched the size of the large hotel. He turned off the engine and said to the truck,"Well, at least I got us here in one piece."
"Barely," Yuna replied, getting out of the truck and joining Tidus, who was now at the back of the Navigator. She kissed him quickly on the lips, letting him know she was only joking.
Tidus laughed as he grabbed his and Yuna's luggage. "I wasn't the only one he wanted to pick up the psycho hitchhikers, remeber?"
"Please, don't mention them." Rikku shuddered, joining Tidus and Yuna.
"Yes, no need to bring that up," Lulu agreed, jumping from the truck with Wakka trailing behind her.
"Let's go check out the hotel, ya?" Jogging to the back, Wakka grabbed his and Lulu's luggage.
"I agree," Rikku said happily, grabbing her bags only to have Auron take them from her. She turned to give him a puzzeled look.
"I'll take this. You go grab the confirmation papers."
"Alrighty. Where's it at?" She smiled brightly, glad that she didn't have to pack the heavy bags and even gladder that Auron had offered to take them.
"Glove box," Auron answered, grunting from the combined weight of his and Rikku's bags combined. As he was wondering about what Rikku had brought that could weigh so much, he felt Tidus slap him on the shoulder.
"Why did you offer to carry those things? They weigh more than a shoopuff." Tidus gave a sly smile, knowing exactly why his older roommate had offered.
Auron's reply was a 'humph' and a slight glare, whick only made Tidus chuckle.
Rikku, who was at the front of the truck and hadn't heard a thing that was said, opened the glove box what and began rummaging through it. After a few minutes of unseccessful searching, Rikku stuck her head out of the door. "Auron, what does it look like?"
"It's a sheet of paper that has writing on it and a serial number at the top." He walked up to stand by the passenger door where Rikku was sitting. "We need it to confirm that we actually have reservations."
"What's up?" Wakka hollered from the front of the hotel where he now stood with Lulu, Yuna, and Tidus.
"Hurry up! I can't wait to jump in a nice, hot bubble bath!" Lulu added, wondering what was taking so long.
"Want some company?" Wakka joked, watching his fiance turn a slight pink.
"Wait 'til the honeymoon," Tidus chirped.
Rikku watched as Lulu smacked Wakka and Tidus, and said, "Ah, there's a slight prob-"
"Go ahead in! We'll join you in a second!" Auron interrupted.
Yuna glanced at Lulu with raised eyebrows. "Is everything all right?
"Yeah, everything's fine," lied Rikku. "We just, uh-"
Once again, Auron cut in. "Just go ahead. We'll catch up!"
Yuna and Lulu figured that the two wanted to be alone, so they carted their significant others into the hotel.
"We've gotta find that paper," Rikku declared, watching her friends enter the large building. She knew that everyone would flog them if they didn't. "Are you sure you put it in the glove box?"
"Yes. I put it in there when we left the house. I thought it would be safe in there."
"Yunie had to get in the dash to get the map," Rikku started, ceasing her searching, "What if it blew out the window or something!"
"We would have noticed it if it blew out the window. Keep digging," Auron instructed, joining her in the search.
Sighing, Rikku continued combing through the glove box. After the third search, she turned to look at Auron. "It's not in here. Are you absolutly sure that you put it in the glove box?"
"I'm sure I did, but maybe it did fall out," Auron sighed. "Let's check under the seats."
"Why would it be under the seats?"
"I don't know. Why wouldn't it be in the dash? Just look."
"Fine," Rikku muttered, getting on her knees and checking under the front seat.
"It's got to be around her somewhere," Auron murmurred, checking the drivers' side. After another unsuccessful search, he told Rikku to say in the front while he moved to the middle. On his way around to the other side, he couldn't help but see Rikku's bent position, and he couldn't help but look.
"What are looking at? Aren't you going to help me look?" Rikku snapped, noticing Auron standing behind her.
"Oh, of course," Auron replied quickly. He swiftly busied himself by looking under the back seats, glad that Rikku was up front and that she couldn't see his red face.
Digging under the front seats for the third time, Rikku's thought ventured from the confirmation paper to what it was Auron had been staring at. From the way he had been standing, the only thing he could have seen was a bunch of cars. Her lips curled up into a smile at the next thought. And her. Or more specifically, her butt.
"It's not back here," Auron declared, leaning from the back seat into the front.
"It's not under these seats either," Rikku sighed, getting up from the floor and leaning across the passenger seat. "Auron, what were you looking at a couple minutes ago?" she queried, changing the subject for a moment.
Auron smirked and climbed out of the Navigator. "The view."
"Did you like it?"
He almost laughed at the question. "Yes."
Rikku smiled to herself and joined Auron by the Navigator. Turning serious again, she slumped her shoulders. "The paper's not here."
"It must be around her somewhere. Maybe someone else grabbed it."
"Maybe. But what if they didn't and we go ask them? Do you know what they'll do?" Rikku waited a moment for Auron to answer. When he didn't she added, "They'll kill us!"
Auron chuckled as Rikku threw her arms in the air dramatically
"This is not funny! We've not slept well for the past two days, and when we get to the hotel, we can't find the crappy little piece of paper that let's us sleep in our beds!" Pausing for a breath, she added, "Which, by the way, I don't have."
"Rikku," Auron began, forcing down his laughter, "we'll find the paper."
"I hope so," she sighed, hanging her head. When she noticed Auron trying to contain his laughter, her frustration returned. "What is so funny?"
"You," Auron answered, taking a step toward the flustered Al bhed. She was one of those women that became even more attractive when they were angry, but he didn't really like to see Rikku upset.
"Oh, so I amuse you?" Rikku huffed. "Well, I hope I'll amuse you when we're sleeping in the streets because we can't find that piece of paper."
"As long as I'm with you, I could care less." Whoa. Where did that come from? That was not what he had planned on saying. That might be how he felt, but she didn't need to know that.
"What?" Rikku whispered, her eyes wide. All traces of her anger were gone. Was she really hearing this, or was it a dream?
Well, he'd gone this far. Might as well go all the way. "You heard me," Auron replied, barely above a whisper himself. He took another step closer and pulled Rikku to him. Placing his hand beneath her chin, Auron lifted her face and slowly moved his face closer. Just when their lips were a breath apart, Tidus yelled from he entrance of the hotel.
"Hey! Come on you two!"
Auron and Rikku quickly pulled apart and Auron grabbed the bags. Stealing a glance, Auron found Rikku shuffling her feet and staring intently at the ground. The two made there way to the lobby, avoiding each others gaze and sharing a very uncomfortable silence.
"What took you so long?" Tidus asked when the pair reached the lobby.
"We were looking for the confirmation paper," Rikku answered, her thoughts on the events that almost transpired.
"We already got that, ya?" Wakka told them, picking up his and Lulu's bags.
"Oh," Auron mumbled, wondering what would have happened if Tidus hadn't interrupted himself and Rikku. He would have done what he had been wanting to do for a while, and he was now almost positive that Rikku would have returned the gesture.
"That's nice," Rikku muttered, giving a quick side glance in Auron's direction. He had almost kissed her. So that meant that he had feelings for her. Realizing that Auron cared for her sent chill of pleasure through her.
What is the matter with you two?" Yuna questioned, frowning at her two friends.
"Nothing," they replied quickly.
"Let's go up and see the hotel room," Lulu said, taking Wakka's hand and leading him the elevator.
"Okay," Yuna said slowly, drawing out the word. The sooner they were upstairs and settled in, the sooner she could find out what was wrong with her cousin.
"Wow, this is nice," Rikku said, opening the door to the hotel room a few moments later.
"And huge!" Lulu added. "This is a lot bigger than I expected." The room had a large sitting room, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and one medium sized bedroom.
"Something this big should have more bedrooms and more beds," Rikku sighed, walking into the bedroom.
Yuna sat down on one of the two twin beds. "Here's my bed."
"Rub it in," joked Rikku.
"Why are you complaining? You get to sleep with Auron."
Rikku smiled and thought back to the parking lot. She hoped things wouldn't get complicated. Although with all these feelings she was feeling, she had a hunch that it would.
Yuna wathed her cousin become lost in thought. "Rikku? What is going on with you? Ever since you came in from the parking lot, you've been acting strangely."
"Well-" Rikku began, preparing to tell her cousin everything, only to be interrupted by Wakka and Lulu.
"We have a bathtub," Lulu said gleefully. She watched as Wakka sat their bags on the remaining bed and began unpacking.
"We had those at the motels along the way," Tidus reminded Lulu as he walked into the room with his and Yuna's luggage.
"Let me rephrase: A clean bathtub."
Auron walked into the bedroom and dropped his and Rikku's bags on the floor. "Where are we going to put this stuff?" he asked, his gaze never leaving the bags and his thoughs clearly else where.
"You guys can share the closet and dresser with us," Yuna replied, referring to herself and Tidus.
"All right." Running a hand through his slightly graying hair, Auron looked up to find the room staring at him with perplexed faces. "I'm going to jump in the shower. I'll unpack when I'm finished."
"I'll unpack for you," volunteered Rikku. She wasn't sure why she did, but he seemed rather troubled, and Rikku didn't like seeing him that state.
"Thank you," Auron replied, holding her gaze with his for split second before he turned towards the door. He really needed a shower. That would help him clear his mind.
"Don't use all the hot water," Lulu called after him.
"I won't."
As the sound of water running filled the room, Wakka and Tidus glanced at each other and then at the women that filled the room. "Well," Wakka began, "Tidus, let's go see what's in the kitchen." He started towards the door, wanting to leave the tension filled room.
"Good idea."
After the two men left the room, Lulu opened the dresser drawer and asked, "Rikku, what is going on?"
"I'm not really sure." Opening her bag, Rikku pulled out her clothes. Walking over to Lulu, she began placing them in one of the drawers.
"Well," Yuna sarted, joining her friends with her own clothes," try to explain it."
Walking back to her bag, Rikku took out her personal items and placed them on top of the dresser. "Okay. Me and Auron were trying to find the confirmation paper-"
"Which we already had," Lulu pointed out. She finished with her clothes and began unpacking her fiance's.
"Right. But we didn't know that. So anyway, we were looking through the dash, and under the seats, and we couldn't find the stupid thing."
"And?" Yuna pressed, wondering how the confirmation paper could make he two act so strangely.
"And I became flustered and Auron thought it was funny."
"Is that it?" Yuna queried. She grabbed Tidus' things and moved to the closet.
"No. I told him that it wouldn't be so funny when we were sleeping out on the streets because we couldn't find the paper." Rikku moved to Yuna's side with Auron's clothes in her arms. "And he told me that as long as he was with me that he didn't care."
"Really?" Yuna and Lulu exclaimed at the same time.
"Really."
"So what's with the obscured glances and tension?" questioned Lulu, also hanging Wakka's garments in the closet.
"He almost kissed me," Rikku answered, a bubbly sensation filling her body.
"Almost? As in it didn't happen?" Yuna finished unpacking the bags and tossed them in the closet.
"Thanks to your boyfriend," Rikku told her, also finishing unpacking and putting her's and Auron's bags in the closet.
"Tidus? What did he do?"
"Yeah, what did I do?" Tidus repeated as he walked into the bedroom, a sandwich in hand.
"You ruined my kiss," Rikku retorted.
"Who'd you kiss? Auron's gonna be upset," Wakka remarked, sticking his head in the door.
"It was Auron," Lulu told him.
"Lulu!"
"What? Everybody knows you two have something between you."
"Finally! Where'd you kiss him at?" Tidus asked, sitting down on his bed.
"I must've been in the parking lot," Wakka said, leaning against the doorframe.
"We didn't kiss! We almost did!" Rikku declared. She was sure her face was beet-red.
"Well that's no fun," Tidus said, taking a bite of his sandwich.
"It's your fault."
"How is it my fault?"
"You interrupted us when you yell- Why am I discussing this with you?"
"Because we all know you two like each other, and you can't hide stuff from your friends," Wakka told her, smiling playfully.
"I told you it was obvious," Lulu spoke up.
Rikku turned to the mage. "Like you have room to talk. You avoided dating your future husband for what, about twelve years?"
"This is not about myself and Wakka." Lulu stood from the bed and walked over to the local Besaidian. "This is about you and Auron and how you need to go into the front room because I heard the shower turn off."
Rikku found herself being pulled out of the bedroom and into the living room. Once she was there, she sat down on the couch. "Why do I have to come in here?"
"Because we are going to leave you alone," Yuna told her, grabbing Tidus' hand and dragging him into the kitchen. "Now where did you get that sandwich?" she asked as the pair left the living room.
"And for you information," Lulu began as Wakka wrapped his arm around her waist, "good things come to those who wait."
"I guess so," Rikku laughed.
"Oh, here he comes," Lulu whispered. "Have fun."
Rikku rolled her eyes as Lulu and Wakka joined Tidus and Yuna in the kitchen. She then turned her attention to the handsom man that was coming towards her. "Feeling better?" she queried as Auron sat down on the couch. She noted that he had changed into a pair of pajama pants and a small black tank top.
"Not really." He rubbed his temples. "I have a splitting headache." The shower had only left him to dwell on what had almost happened and now he had a headache to show for it.
Rikku moved from her spot beside Auron to the back of the couch behind him. Placing a thumb at each of his temples, she began massaging them. "Does that help?"
"Yes." Leaning back to rest his head on Rikku's knees, Auron closed his one good eye. He forgot about the uncomfortable tension for a couple of minutes and just relaxed.
"Well, we have the biggest room in the house," Rikku remarked. She was glad that the tension had seemed to leave them, if only momentarily. At least there were talking again.
"True." Shifting slightly, Auron leaned back more and rested more of his weight on Rikku. "What' so interesting about the kitchen?" he asked, realizing that everyone was in the small room.
Rikku continued rubbing his temples while she thought of something to say. She couldn't say that they had all ran into the kitchen so she and Auron could be alone. "Well, they're all hungry." That wasn't to bad. Why would you go to the kitchen unless you were hungry?
"Rikku, your voices carry over the shower."
"Oh." After a short pause she added, "Why'd you ask me then?"
Auron shrugged his shoulders. At the moment, he didn't care who was concerned with his personal life. He just wanted Rikku to keep rubbing his temples.
After a few minues of silence, Rikku leaned over to check on Auron. She wouldn't swear to it, but she thought he was asleep. "Auron? Are you awake." When he didn't respond, her lips curled into a grin. She had put him to sleep. Lifting his head so she could move, she could have hit herself when he awoke with a start. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have moved."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to nod off." Auron lifted his head and rubbed his eyes. "I think I'll take a quick nap."
Rikku smiled and jumped off the back of the couch. "Geezer." She walked around to sit on the chair. "Want me to grab you a blanket," she asked, her last word becoming a yawn.
"Looks like you could use a nap as well."
"Actually I could," Rikku agreed. She was tired. Grabbing the afghan drapped across the back of the couch, she laid down on the opposite end.
"Are you comfortable?" Auron asked after a few moments of silence.
"No," Rikku answered truthfully. She was anything but comfortable. If she had to sleep like this for almost a week she wouldn't get any sleep at all.
"Would you like to move up here?"
"You mean switch places with you?" What would that solve? Then she'd just be on the other end. It couldn't be any more comfortable than this end.
"No, I mean come up here with me," Auron replied, a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Oh." Hiding her embarrassment, Rikku got up and repositioned herself so that she rested her head on Auron's chest.
"Better?" Auron questioned, laying his arms across her back.
"Much," Rikku mumbled, closing her eyes. This was so much better. She could get used to this.
"Good." Forgetting his headache and everything that had transpired- or almost transpired- Auron closed his eyes and simply enjoyed the feeling of Rikku once again in his arms. Within minutes the pair fell into a peaceful sleep.
0000
Rikku awoke around six in the evening, or so she guessed. Glancing at the clock that sat on the T.V stand she learned that it was exactly six. Looking about the living room, she noticed how quite it was. Peaceful actually. Snuggling down into Auron's chest she felt him stir. "Is you headache gone?" she greeted with a smile.
"It is, actually." Yawning softly, he asked, "What time is it?"
"Six."
Auron stretched and then made himself comfortable again. "It's rather quiet."
"I know," Rikku agreed, sitting up. "Yunie? Lulu?" she called, only to be answered by silence. "Hmm. I wonder where they are?" Getting up, she inspected the house.
"I don't think they're here,' Auron remarked. He wished Rikku would come back and lay down again. He'd like to just hold her a few more minutes before the tension-which he was sure would come- returned.
"Here's a note," Rikku called from the kitchen. Jerking the piece of paper from the refrigerator, Rikku strolled back into the living room.
"What's it say?" Auron asked, sitting up and shaking the sleep from his head.
"It say," Rikku quickly skimmed the note, "that they've gone to dinner and that they'll bring us back some." Placing the note on the table she exclaimed, "They went to get food without us! Can you believe it?"
"I don't really mind," Auron admitted. "It gave us a chance to sleep." And a chance for me to be alone with you, he thought.
"I guess. But I wish they would have woken us up. I'm kinda hungry." Sighing, she flopped down on the couch. "Well, what do wanna do? This is our vacation."
"Not much to do without a car." Looking out the large front room window he added, "It looks like we might get a storm."
Following Auron's gaze, Rikku found a very grey sky with an eerie glow. "Great." Exhaling heavily, Rikku stood from the couch. "I think I'll take a quick shower."
"All right." Auron stood from the couch and folded the afghan back over the couch.
"I won't take to long," Rikku called over her shoulder. She grabbed a pair of clean clothes to change into and ran into the bathroom. Shedding her dirty ones, Rikku climbed into the shower and turned it on. As the warm water washed away the dirt and grim of traveling, Rikku's thought traveled to Auron. At first things had seemed complicated after they came in from the parking lot. Now things seemed...almost normal. But there was something different between them now. A trench, if you would. And she knew that she was either going to have to jump it, or stay on the other side.
While Rikku was taking her shower, Auron was sitting on their makeshift bed flipping through the T.V. channels. Nothing could catch his intrest for very long though, because his thoughts were concentrated around a young Al bhed girl. He had the perfect opportunity to make his move. No one was home, and he was certain that Rikku cared for him as well. Now he had to wait for the perfect moment...
Just then a loud clap of thunder interrupted the older man's thoughts. Ten seconds later rain began pouring from the sky. Great, Auron thought as he tuned into the weather channel.
"We can except the storm to hit us around six-thirty," a tall, middle-aged man announced as he pointed to a large map of the area. "We can also except strong thunder storms, torrential rains at times, and perhaps some damaging winds. Some power outages have been reported in some surroundings areas, so be on the look out-" The screen went black just as the hotel room did.
"Auron!" Rikku shouted, running from bathroom with her towel stil drapped around her shoulders. She had been in the process of drying her hair when the electricity went out.
"Rikku," Auron replied, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. "Stay where you are. I'll come to you."
Rikku did as she was told, standing in the small hallway that led to the kitchen, bedrooms, and sitting room. She wrung her towel nervously, glad that she had had time to dress. "Auron, where are you?"
"I'm right here," he answered, taking her small hand in his much larger one. "Everything's all right." He led her to the couch and sat down. "Places like these have generators."
"Oh yeah." Rikku bit her bottom lip nervously. She hated storms, but she wasn't sure if her nerves were riled up because of the storm, or the fact that Auron was holding her hand.
Sensing Rikku's discomfort, Auron stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. "Look out the window. Even though it's slightly unnerving, the lighting is fascinating."
"More like terrifying," Rikku retorted. "Shouldn't the generator have kicked on by now?"
"Seems like it. I'll call the front desk."
"But the electricity's out," Rikku said. She then realized that phones ran on generators from the phone company, and that they were rarely out of service. "Never mind," she muttered, feeling rather stupid.
Auron chuckled softly and picked up the phone, which was located on an end table and the end of the couch. He pressed what he thought was eight, which would take him to the main office. "Yes, hello," Auron greeted after the fourth ring. "I was wondering if you have a generator."
"You are about the twentieth person to ask me that," an annoyed woman answered from the other end of the line. "And I'll tell the same thing I told them. Yes, we have one, but it is broken. You'll find candles and a small box of matches in the utility closet."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Uh huh," the woman answered as she hung up.
"Well," Auron began as he returned the phone to it's cradle, "the generator's broken. But," he added as Rikku groaned, "there are candles and matches in the utility closet. I'll go get them."
"Not by yourself. I'm coming with you."
"Rikku, I'm a grown man. I'm perfectly capable of going to get them by myself."
"Well I'm not perfectly capable of staying in here by myself."
Auron stood from the couch, unable to hide his smile. "Come on."
"Auron, are you smiling?" Rikku teased, sure that she had saw the corner of his mouth turn up.
"Of course not."
"I think you are."
"And how could you tell? It is almost pitch-" Auron last wored turned into a grunt as he stubbed his toe on the coffee table placed in front of the couch. "-black."
"Are you all right?" Rikku asked, hiding her laugh. She placed her hand on his large shoulder.
"Fine," Auron replied. "Let's find those blasted candles so we can see where we're going."
Making her way through the hall, Rikku, with Auron by her side, opened the door that was located at the end. "They should be around here somewhere," she muttered, moving items around. It was hard to find candles just by feel alone.
"I think I have the matches," Auron said, grabbing a box. A bright flash of lightning lit the area, revealing the bar of soap Auron held in his grasp.
"Or not," Rikku laughed. "Here, I have a package of candles."
"Now I have the matches," Auron said, taking a small box. "Now to make our way back into living room."
Rikku followed Auron back into the front room and placed the candles on the coffee table. She watched as Auron struck a match and lit two of the four candles.
"There," he said, blowing out the match.
"Let there be light," Rikku joked. Another bolt of lightning flashed, shortly followed by a loud crack of thunder boomed outside. "I wasn't talking to you," she muttered, facing the window. Turning her attentio back to Auron she asked, "Well, what do you want to do now?"
"Whatever you want to do," Auron replied.
I want to finish what we started ealier, Rikku thought, watching the shadows dance across Auron's face. The shadows just made Auron all the more mysterious and attractive.
"Rikku?"
Auron's voice jerked her out of thougths. "I saw some cards in the closet," Rikku said quickly, for the lack of anything better to say.
"Would you like to play a few rounds?"
"Sure," Rikku replied. She stood from floor and walked back towards the hallway. "At least we can see now."
Auron nodded his head in agreement. Once he reached the closet, he grabbed the pack of cards and turned to face Rikku. "Lead the way."
The two began retracing their steps, but another bright flash of lightning caused Rikku to stop in her tracks.
Auron, who hadn't been paying attention, plowed into her from behind. "Sorry, Rikku," he said, bending down to pick up the box of cards he had dropped in their collusion. When he picked up the box, the top fell open and the cards scattered across the floor.
Rikku squatted down next to him. "I'm sorry." She began picking up the fallen cards. "If I didn't have such a stupid phobia-"
Auron silenced her with a raised hand. "Rikku, it is not a stupid phobia. A lot of people a frightned by lightning."
"Yeah, but you'd think I'd be over it by now."
"Fear is a hard thing to overcome," Auron reassured her.
"I know," Rikku sighed, picking up the last of the cards and placing them in the box. She straightened herself up. "But-" she was interrupted by another blazing flash of lightning. She sqeezed her eyes shut and bit her bottom lip. Feeling like a complete imbecile, Rikku was surprised when she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her.
"Rikku, the lightning's outside. It can't hurt you in here."
"I know," Rikku whispered, draping her arms around his neck.
"I won't allow it to," Auron said softly, lifting her face up to his.
"Auron," Rikku started, but she was silenced as Auron pressed his lips gently against hers.
