Arcia had tried to kill Yuna!
I cant believe it took me that long to realize that it had been Arcia with the gun, my mind had gone into overdrive by then. What was she thinking?
Yuna blinked a couple times.
"Are you alright?" She asked, leaning in closer to catch my gaze again.
"You look like someone hit you with something."
I didn't say anything for a moment, before shaking my head.
"Sorry..I just didn't think she was so stupid.." I said, "Arcia's the girl who tried to shoot you.."
Alright, now I was angry at two people, Tidus and Arcia. I was only angry at them both because they had either hurt Yuna or tried to hurt her. Man, was I protective…
"Is she a friend?' Yuna asked.
I shook my head.
"Not really." I said, "I just work with her, but she has a major crush on me.."
I wondered how Yuna would react to the statement. Whether she would be mad at Arcia for liking me, or if she would just blow it off like a friend would.
If I were her, I wouldn't let that go…
I saw her tense slightly, and I raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
"Why do you think she was shooting at me?" She asked.
"Well, either she was jealous, or she really doesn't like you.." I said, "Honestly, I think she's jealous…"
Well, Arcia being jealous was the most logical answer. She managed to piece everything together, which seemed rather smart for her. She never seemed like she was all too bright, probably just wanted to mooch of me, like all the others.
"Yeah that's what I was thinking." She said, before looking down to her feet again
I stared at Yuna curiously, she seemed to be concentrating very hard on something. Kinda the same thing I do, where I just fall into thought.
"You alright?" I asked, softly reaching out and using a finger to lift her chin so she would look at me again.
I'll admit it, I partly just wanted to touch her and have her look at me again, but I was also wondering what she was thinking so hard about.
"Yeah." She said, sounding slightly breathless, "Just thinking, you know?"
She then gave me a small wobbly smile, and I smiled back.
Yuna was once again staring at my eyes, like she had been doing off and on since I had opened them.
Did she love my eyes the same way I loved her's? I knew mine weren't that beautiful, but if she liked them, I wouldn't change them for the world.
I let my hand linger under her chin for a moment, before slowly pulling it back. Already, my hand felt cold, and I was missing the soft feeling of her skin.
Is this what it felt like to truly love someone? All I had ever felt was longing, but now that Yuna was here with me, I felt so much better.
"I really like your eyes…" She said, after what seemed like an eternity of silence.
I smiled when she blushed, she looked wonderful no matter what she did.
"I like yours too.." I replied truthfully, "They're the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time.."
Now it was my turn to blush. Well, that was enough of speaking from my heart. It was awfully embarrassing, but it did feel good..
"Thank you." She said very self consciously, a hand now pressed to one of her flaming cheeks.
I could tell she was trying to look away, but couldn't. I couldn't either, to tell you the truth.
I merely smiled when she chuckled, she had to be feeling the same way I did, since I also felt like laughing.
Even though I had promised myself not to listen to my heart for a little while, I couldn't help myself. I was sitting, so I was about her height.
Slowly, I leaned in, shutting my eyes and preparing to kiss her. I also gave her plenty of time to back away, just in case she didn't want this. I wouldn't make her do anything she didn't want to, never in my life would I even think about doing something like that to Yuna..
