Sparkle in the Silence of the Night
A YxG fic!
Chapter Two: "How many names do you HAVE for him?"
A/N: This happens to have a bit of Tidus bashing in it. Mostly that Tidus is stupid, that kind of immature stuff. But I just want to warn you before you read this, that some Tidus fans...might not like this part. Or this fic, come to think of it.
"All right, Gippal. You can stay in this room, okay?" Yuna said, and Gippal nodded, then looked around.
"Yuna, are you sure this is all right?" he asked, and Yuna nodded.
"Yes, Gippal. It's fine. Either way, I'll try to have dinner ready at six-thirty, around the time Tidus comes home. Is that okay?" she asked, and he nodded, then flashed that cocky grin of his.
"What happened to your backbone? Look at you, asking me if it's okay, when I'm the guest. You live here. I'll eat dinner whenever you serve it." he said, and Yuna shook her head and mumbled something.
"What was that?" he asked, and Yuna shook her head. "Nothing important. Either way....just do what you usually do." she said, and turned on her heel and left. Gippal sat down on the bed, then, and sighed. He was too tired to unpack his stuff now, so he just thought he'd take a little nap. Just a little one.
A little one that lasted three hours.
"GIPPAL!!!!" he woke with a start, then, and looked up at Yuna, who was standing in the doorway. "Are you hungry?" she asked, and he nodded. "Dinner is served."
Gippal stood up, then, and followed Yuna downstairs. God, her house was so...nice. It was expected, though, considering her boyfriend was a world famous Blitzball player, and she was the former High Summoner. After he reached the dining room, he was in for an unpleasant surprise. Tortus.
"Hiya! You must be Gippal!" he said, and stuck his hand out. Gippal shook it warily, then sat down on the opposite side of his self-decided enemy. He looked up at Yuna, then, his good eye looking towards the pot.
"What's for dinner?" he asked, and Yuna grinned.
"Spaghetti." she said, and Gippal crossed his arms, then stifled a laugh as the asshole in front of him started to eat the messy food with his fingers.
"Erm...I don't think you're supposed to eat it like that." he said, and Tidus shrugged.
"Hungry..." he mumbled, and Gippal shook his head.
"Tidus, honey, here's a fork." Yuna said, and Tidus gave her the thumbs-up, his hand covered in spaghetti. Gippal stood up, then, and reached for the drawer Yuna was just in. Then he pulled out a fork.
"Thanks for dinner." he said, after taking one or two bites, then got up and left the room. Yuna sighed, then, and followed him.
"I'll be right back!" she called to Tidus, who was still eating.
Yuna ran up the stairs, then, not surprised at Gippal's behavior in a way, but then again in a way she was. Gippal had seemed completely famished when he came downstairs, yet he seemed to lose his appetite
the second he saw Tidus. And that wasn't good. Not good at all.
"Gippal!" Yuna called to the closed door that her visitor stood behind.
"What?" he asked and Yuna sighed.
"That's what I came to ask you. Please, open the door." she said, and he laughed.
"Please, thank you, if you want to." he said, but opened the door. Yuna stepped inside of his room, then shut the door behind her.
"Gippal, why did you leave after not eating much?" she asked, and Gippal crossed his arms.
"Other than Re-Tardus's performance downstairs?" he asked, and Yuna slapped him.
"Whether you like him or not, Gippal, you're stuck with him if you want to stay he-" she began but he cut her off.
"You offered me, I didn't ask you." he said.
"That wasn't my point. I invited you because I didn't think you'd be that mean to Tidus." she said, and Gippal frowned.
"You made spaghetti on purpouse, didn't you?" he asked her, but she looked puzzled. "You didn't hear? Rikku left me over some asshole who decided to intrude on our airship and eat spaghetti? He didn't even use a fork. And Rikku loved him, she loved him a lot. Put me into second place. And I *hate* being in second place, Yuna. And your little assprick boyfriend is the guy Rikku left me for. It's hard enough to look at him, but he's so stupid! Yuna, you deserve better!"
"Rikku...loved Tidus?" she asked, and Gippal nodded. "She could've at least told me."
"Oh, she told me all right." he said, and Yuna sighed, then leaned up against the wall.
"Gippal, I'm sorry about the spaghetti. I just knew he liked it, I didn't know about the history you had with it." she said, then sighed. "If you want to, I'll make something else."
"You wanna know what *I* want? I want you to turn back into that girl that asked me if I just grew a pair in the park! It doesn't matter what happens, Yuna, but you're always sorry, always diving into trouble headfirst, always trying to fix everyone else's problems. Don't you ever put your foot down?" he asked.
"Yes, I do. And I'm going to stomp it all over your face if you don't leave right now." she said, and he laughed.
"Now that's more like it." he said, and Yuna left the room. "Yuna?" he called, and she turned around and walked back to the doorway.
"I was serious." she said, and sighed. "I've learned more than I ever want to know about you, and you haven't even been here a whole day."
"Yuna...don't kick me out." he asked, and she shook her head.
"Should've thought about that before you decided to pick on 'Re-Tardus'." she said, and Gippal sighed, then turned around.
"What if some girl stole him away from you? Would you like her?" he asked, and Yuna walked over to him.
"No, but then again, I wouldn't stay at their house either."
