Blue Box, Yellow Fluff
Rikku sat on the bridge of the Celsius while she stared out the window into the great blue seas of Spira. She leaned back in her chair and let out a long bored sigh. She felt very alone and didn't feel like talking to the other people on the bridge. She looked over at Brother to his left, flying the Celsius with little concentration and little finesse. Buddy sat behind him looking down at the navigation screen. He poured over flight patterns, weather patters and technicalities of flying the aircraft. She turned, looking back over her shoulder at the small boy who tinkered with his devices. Shinra was undoubtedly working on something new and revolutionary. Beyond him Cid stood, leaning on the railing that was a little above everyone else. Peering around the bridge a second time, Rikku seemed to notice that something was missing. Gippal. He wasn't there. Usually he was always hanging around her, teasing and making fun.
Swinging herself up and out of her seat Rikku walked briskly with a spring in her step toward the stairs. She grabbed the handle and jumped a few steps toward the top so she landed next to her father. "Where we headed Pop"
"Somewhere very important Rikku" Cid said without looking at her. Rikku almost pouted.
"Come on tell me where?" She tried to sweet talk him, but it didn't seem to be doing any good
"Don't you have something else to do Kiddo?" He asked with a bit of a sneer.
"Hmh..." Rikku snuffed and stomped out through the door. The elevator opened and Gippal stepped out. Rikku passed by him quickly slamming his shoulder with hers and causing him to spin a little as she steps onto the lift.
"Hey Cid's Daughter, What's goin' on?" He asked edging her on in her already bad mood.
"Nothing" she snapped, "That's the point, absolutely nothing!"
If she could have slammed the automatic doors she would have. Walking out into the bridge Gippal scratched the back of his head and saw Cid perched ahead of him. "Hey pops? Did…you guys remember it was Rikku's Birthday?"
Cid's shoulder's tightened but he didn't move. There was silence all over the bridge. "Yeah…that's what I thought."
Rikku angrily stomped through her bedroom door with her eyes closed and her fists tight. "ERRR! What is family good for if they don't even get ya presents!" She wined sighing and putting her hands on her hips. That is when she felt her feet bump into something. Opening her eyes she looked down at the small box on the floor, a the vibrant color of robin's egg. She looked up and in front of her on her bed was a dozen roses in an assortment of colors. She smiled wide and snatched up the present. Tearing open the packaging she pulled the box top off and pulled out a fluffy creation. She gasped and looked closely. It was a stuffed chocobo made of real malted chocobo feathers. All carefully sticked onto a small plush body. The molded beak and stone eyes shone at her. She wanted to cry. Instead she glomped it tightly to her chest and smiled. "Choco!" Sitting down next to the roses she scooped them up with her other hand. At least someone remembered. She saw a small white card and turned it over.
To Cid's Daughter, Happy Birthday
She was a little puzzled. Her Father wouldn't have written that. Only… Gippal…
She stood up and walked quickly toward the door, but it was already opening. The tall blonde man stood on the other side.
"You got me a Chocobo…" She said smiling.
He nodded a little guilt in his movements. "I made sure it was as close to the old Choco as I could get it. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken it from you."
Rikku smiled smugly, "Your right, you shouldn't have."
Gippal coughed into the silence and asked her slowly. "Well…do you have something to say to me…"
Rikku just smiled and nodded. She sunk her fingers into his shirt and pulled him close to her, his lips inches from hers "Thank you," floated off her lips, light as air before she kissed him. A sweet gentle touch that made Gippal's head spin. He wasn't even sure this was happening. He let one arm slide around her waist and pull her close as his lips pushed a little harder. They did taste like sweet candy.
"EVERYONE TO THE BRIDGE! RIKKU! TO THE BRIDGE!" Borthers voice boomed over the Celsius loudspeaker. Rikku jumped back accidentally nipping the man's lower lip and Gippal shook a little from both the bite and the sudden loud noises.
Coughing awkwardly Gippal smiled down at her. I think he planed that. Rikku giggled and closed her eyes in her cute smile. "Maybe so!" She just skiped off and left Gippal in the hallway a little shell shocked. "oh" she said with a giggle and a little half turn back toward him. "Sorry about your lip." She winked and just kept going. Bounding toward the elevator with Choco in hand.
Gippal looked back into Rikku's room and looked at her soft bed, he realized immediately that he was jealous of the stuffed animal. When I'm asleep…that inanimate object will be enjoying the cradled warmth between two beautiful breasts…could I be cuter made of feathers?
