Chapter 7: Not Your Lips

"So, you get laid yesterday?"

"Nope. We went for ice cream."

"Damn, you've fallen for her, and you know it!" Gippal said, teasingly, "I never thought you'd fall in love!"

Tidus rolled his eyes and closed his eyes. He was lying on the sofa in his basement, with Gippal sitting on a chair across from him. They were watching some new illegally-bought action movie that Gippal had brought over, but Tidus really wasn't very interested. To be honest, he felt kind of like he'd been ditching his friend lately, but it felt as if something had changed within himself since he met Yuna.

"Okay, seriously man," Gippal said, pausing the movie, "What's your deal? Are you totally love-sick about her or something. Please tell me it's just annoying you that you haven't been in her pants yet."

Tidus sighed and said, "That's just the problem. I don't know what's bothering me. I feel like I need to go see her right now, just to make sure everything's okay. I feel, maybe like I'm her older brother or something, you know? I feel kind of like we've been through the same thing."

"Ah, good, so it's that kind of love," Gippal said sarcastically, "Get a grip on yourself Tidus!"

"I've been trying!" Tidus yelled at his friend.

The two then sat there in an angered silence, saying nothing.

"If you want to go see her, go see her," Gippal finally said, softly.

Tidus pulled out his phone and looked at it to see if he'd missed any calls.

"She's supposed to call me," he said, "But she hasn't. It makes me worried."

"So you worry about her?"

"All the time."

"Why?"

"I've told you. She's abused."

Gippal rolled his eyes and said, "How do you know? Has she told you?"

"Kind of."

Again, Gippal rolled his eyes, and he said, "But really, what does that tell you?"

"Maybe I should go see her…" Tidus just said, saying nothing, "But I'm afraid her old man's home or something."

"Why don't you invite her over here?"

"I don't know," Tidus said, "She doesn't seem interested to come over here. I think she's afraid I would rape her, or something."

Gippal started laughing. "Oh man, a girl who's afraid of her boyfriend raping her! That's just too good."

"Shut up. Dona has her convinced I'm a total whore just after sex."

"Well, aren't you?"

"No!" Tidus said, slamming his head into his pillow, "I would have done her by now!"

"Still, your girlfriend is afraid of you like that?"

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Then what the hell is she?" Gippal's voice had gained quite a bit of anger.

"I don't know!" Tidus just said, and stood up, "Look, feel free to crash here. I've got to go see Yuna."

-

Tidus walked up to the door casually, and reached out his fist, and knocked on the door. However, there was no answer. Again, he knocked. No answer. He tried calling her, but still, no answer.

He stood there for a good ten minutes, knocking and calling and knocking and calling, but an answer never came.

"Are you looking for Yuna?"

Tidus turned around to see Leblanc standing there, dressed in a pink warm-up suit, walking a small dog who had a matching pink warm-up suit on.

"Uh, yeah," Tidus said, "Have you seen her?"

"I think Rikku and her went shopping," Leblanc said, but then Leblanc stopped and looked in thought, and said, "Actually, I think she may be over at Dona's."

"Dona's?"

"Yeah. You can go right over if you want," Leblanc said, "If I remember correctly, Yuna said she was expecting you. So go on over."

Tidus stood there, unsure of what he was going to do.

"You know where her house is, am I right?" Leblanc asked, nodding toward the house next to Yuna's.

"Yeah, I know," Tidus said, walking down the steps of Yuna's house, "I just feel weird walking in like that."

Leblanc laughed and said, "Don't, love. They're expecting you."

She started off then, at a slow jog, her little dog trotting alongside of her.

Tidus watched them go, and then took a deep breath, and started to Dona's house.

He made it there in no time, of course, and walked up to the door, and knocked, and shoved his hands nervously in his pockets. He hadn't been to Dona's house for years, since Dona and he had dated. For some reason, especially now, she made him very nervous.

The door opened, and Dona stood there. She looked at him, and crossed her arms and smiled.

"Looking for Yuna?" she asked, her smile remaining.

"Yeah," Tidus said, "Is she there?"

"Yeah," Dona answered, and led Tidus in.

The house was basically just as Tidus recalled it: huge. Of course, Yuna's was very huge too.

"She's this way," Dona said, leading Tidus through a few rooms and to the living room.

"Where at—?" Tidus started, only Dona then moved in and wrapped her arms around his neck and plastered her lips to his.

He pulled back, but the surprise had taken him, and she knocked him down onto the couch, and climbed on top of him.

"Dona," he said, as she continued to attempt to kiss him, "Get off."

She didn't listen though, and soon her lips were on his, and her tongue was forcing its way in his mouth.

He tried to push her off, but his arms were under her, and since she was straddling him, it was impossible for him to just shake her off.

She pulled away from him, although she continued to pin him down, and said, "Tell me right now, Tidus. What makes Yuna any different than me?"

"What are you talking about?" he asked, still trying to shake her off.

"Why won't you just have sex with her? Any other girl and you would have. But not her. Why not? Do you actually love her? Why?"

"I don't know," Tidus said, "But she doesn't want to. If you didn't want to, I wouldn't…"

"Ha, yeah right," she said, "Yuna was asking for it. What kept you from doing it?"

"I don't know!" Tidus just said.

"I want to. Right now. Will you?"

"I don't know!" Tidus repeated.

"Why don't you know?" Dona demanded.

"Because," Tidus said, still trying to shake her off, "I…"

"You what?" Dona asked, "Why the hell don't you know?"

She took her arms away from his sides and rubbed her hands down his chest, but this released his arms from being pinned. Taking the opportunity, he pushed her off of him, surprised by his sudden violence.

She went sprawling off onto the floor, and laid there, whimpering.

"You know," she said, between her whimpers, "Do whatever you want with me. Cause whatever pain you want. But I'll just make Yuna feel twice as much pain."

"Leave her alone," Tidus said through gritted teeth.

"She's the one that's in the clique!" Dona said, "She can leave whenever she wants! She doesn't want to, Tidus. We're more important than you are to her. That's why she agreed to dump you."

"She hasn't dumped me," Tidus said.

"But she didn't answer her door, did she?" Dona said, picking herself up, "Or her phone? She's home, Tidus. Sitting in her room, crying to herself."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Why would I lie?"

Tidus swallowed, and said, "What do you want from me?"

"To leave Yuna alone. You were supposed to have sex with her, and never see her again. You were supposed to make her feel the pain all of the rest of us felt!"

"What are you talking about?"

Dona climbed back over to Tidus, although she didn't climb up on top of him. She just stood there, kneeling at the couch, staring up at him, and said, "We wanted you to hurt Yuna, like she hurt us."

"What are you talking about?" Tidus just repeated himself.

Dona didn't answer. She just plastered her lips against Tidus' again.

"Tidus," she said, pulling away from him, "We don't mean to hurt Yuna. It's just revenge. And if you aren't going to do what we meant for you to do, then you can't be with her. We'll find somebody more suitable. Got it?"

Tidus just glared at her, not knowing what else to say.

"And go ahead and try to stay with her," Dona said, "But in the end, Yuna will always choose us over you."

Again, Dona's lips found their way to Tidus'.

"But for now, you're mine."

And, as if defeated, Tidus just laid there, not able to think of anything but Yuna, despite the fact that it wasn't Yuna kissing him.

For the first time, Tidus saw just how powerful Dona was.
