Happy Birthday
Rikku smiled as she ran out the engine room loading dock. Jumping from the platform she launched herself at Yuna and wrapped her arms around her sweet cousin. "YUNIE!" she screamed as the hug tightened and giggled hugging her closer. As they parted she looked out into the center of Besaide and couldn't suppress her excitement. The entire town had come out for her, a fire and burned in the center while long tables of food lined the entire square. "You did this for me?"
Tidus slid over and wrapped an arm around the brunette's waist. "It was Yuna's idea and we all thought it was perfect. Everyone turned out for you Rikku."
The blonde rubbed her hands together and jumped up and down laughing "PARTY!"
Gippal looked around at all the people talking, eating, dancing to the music, and some drinking. He spotted Rikku. Dancing in her little thief outfit, wiggling in the crowd she was as brilliant and vivacious as the sunrise. He just stared at her leaning against one of the huts, he didn't feel like doing anything but watching her.
Brother bit his lower lip, letting his teeth grind into the flesh. His eyes trained on one thing. Yuna. She moved like a butterfly, her skin was perfect, and her hair was braided with a blend of purple flowers. She wore her songstress dress sphere as she sung, swaying back and forth on the small stage. He missed not being able to see her everyday. He missed not being able to smell her hair, to study the different colors of her eyes. He spun his drink in his hand, feeling the cool glass move from his palms to his fingers, but never took his eyes off her. Never stopped looking at the way her cherry colored lips moved. He imagined what it would be like to kiss those lips, hold her close.
He felt something twist inside his stomach and stared out at the man who just stepped on staged. Tidus. He got her. Put his arm around her. He got her. He pulled her close and gave her a quick his. He got her. He set his claim. He got her.
Brother boiled on the inside as he took another swig of his drink and let the warm feeling heat him from the inside out.
Cid took a sip of his beer and peered over the glass at the spiky blonde hair. He watched Gippal. Making sure to stand to the blonde's blind side he kept careful watch. The boy had hurt his daughter once, he wouldn't let it happen again. Focusing his eyes on the relaxed posture Cid felt glad that the boy was separated and easy to spot. He looked up onstage as Yuna began to sing another song, softly moving, holding Tidus' hand as she let out a beautiful string of notes. When the older man looked back to the spiky blonde hair, he was gone. Gippal had slipped away when he wasn't looking.
Hallow singular footsteps echoed through the Celsius as Gippal walked through the empty hallways. He slid into Rikku's station to the right of the pilot, he made an odd face as he scrunched into the small chair. He pulled the adjustment lever and pushed the console out so that he could stretch himself comfortably. He stared up at the bright stars in the sky yet didn't see them, he only thought about the blonde girl who was still dancing by the bonfire.
He let his eyes close and just allowed himself to remember the way her body moved. When she danced, the firelight flickering off her honey toned skin. Her body's movement was hypnotic, playing slow in his head. "Rikku…" came softly from his lips. Almost inaudible.
"Yes?" came the cute girls voice, unexpectedly right beside him.
His shoulder jerked in surprise as his eyes snapped open and he looked at the blonde girl sitting on the walkway next to his chair. "Rikku!" he stammered sitting up straight.
"Your in my chair" she said with a little smirk.
"Oh" Gippal was a little confused, How did she get in here so quietly "Would you like me to move?"
"Nah…" She said and slid into his lap. She nestled her ass between his thighs and leaned back. "Hey Gippal?"
The blonde man gulped and cleared his throat, the warmth of that girl on his chest made his heart flutter. "Yes?"
"Why are you on this ship? Why are always here? What happened to running the Machina Faction? What happened to that?" She spoke with slight defensiveness.
Gippal could smell her hair…she was so close, his thoughts were clouded by the thought of her, the feel of her. The long silence made Rikku think he wasn't going to answer. But he did. "You." He let his lips fall into the small dip where her shoulder meet her neck and kissed there. "I love you, I have to be close to you."
"What if I don't love you back." Rikku said softly.
Gippal gave a grunt of a laugh, even though his heart sank a little. "Then I'll have to chase you until you realize what a terrible mistake you've made."
Rikku smiled and sighed. "That sounds like a lot of work for you…it's a good thing I like you a whole lot."
Gippal smiled to himself. That would have to do for now. Like, at least she liked him a lot. She stretched out in his lap and leaned to one side so she could look up at him. "Maybe a little more then a lot…"
Gippal leaned down and touched her lips with his. He pushed a little more then the last kiss, he wanted to feel her there, wanted to know it wasn't just a dream. Pressing himself closer he wrapped his arms tightly around her and pulled her tightly to his chest. She let out a little moan and the blonde boy grew some ambition. Sliding his hands down he began to stroke her thigh.
He let his tongue run along her lips and she opened them, granting him entry into her sweet warm mouth. He slide his fingers in small circles on her tan thigh, loving the delicate feel. He felt cold on his upper lip as she took a small breathe through his nose and he smiled into the kiss. Pushing a little more he coaxed her tongue into his mouth and sucked on it slowly. He opened his eyes halfway, carefully intent on her face as he ventured further.
He let his fingers swirl and creep slowly up her thigh and under her short brown skirt. Underneath he found warm silken cloth but didn't bother to slip inside it. Stroking through the fabric he found where the folds of her flesh we the hottest, where her lower lips touched together.
Rikku moaned and spread her legs wider for him, letting his larger hand rub in slow tantalizing circles. She gasped softly when he pressed with his fingers and broke the kiss. She kept her eyes closed and Gippal just watched her sweet face. He pushed a little more and felt warm wetness soak into the fabric beneath his finger. "Rikku?" He whispered with a naughtily scolding sound to his voice.
"What?" She asked, a little afraid he would stop what he was doing.
"Your getting your panties wet…that's a terrible thing to do…you should really let me take them off…" His deep voice echoed in her ear as he nibbled a little on the ear lobe.
"If you insist…" She replied smiling and leaning back into his warm body. He slid her silken panties down her thighs until his long arms could no longer reach and watched the smooth caramel skinned legs kick off the garment. His hands lay flat and warm on her thighs as he slowly drew his fingers up her outer thighs. Both hands rolled to the top of her legs and tilted inward as he got closer to the wet warmth he had been so close to before.
"Stop" Rikku didn't really want to say it. But she let it roll off her lips.
Gippal's heart skipped a beat and his body screamed with desire…that is the last thing he wanted to hear her say.
"I…" Her voice wavered a little unsteady. "I can't do this…not if it's gonna change everything…" She leaned forward to get up but felt herself pulled back down into Gippal's lap.
"Rikku…" He cupped her chin in his hand and gently tilted her head to face him, but her eyes were downcast. "Look at me" Once her green eyes flickered up he gave her a little smile. "I love you, I didn't say that just to get in your pants….or …you know…up your skirt." He watched her out of the corner of his eye nervously pull her skirt down. "If your not comfortably we don't have to do anything…I want you…I want you more then a fat kid wants cake…after four days of no eating…and the cake is on his plate and …the fork is in his hand…" His eyes had gone down to her body…his hand had wandered to her breasts. He yanked his hand back and heard Rikku's little giggle. "But the bottom line is a love you…I'm not looking to take advantage of you after a few birthday drinks…I just want your heart…and you know…your body would be nice too…like icing on a cake…really nice icing…"
Rikku laughed and leaned up to kiss him. They stayed that way for a little while. When the kiss broke she shifted her weight and looked up at him. "Your really sweet you know…"
Gippal cocked his head to one side and winked his good eye. "I am the King"
Rikku rolled her eyes and gave his shoulder a little shove. "Shut up!...stupid Gippal" She leaned back hard so as to give his chest a good whack and looked up at the stars. It was a long pause before she said anything. She debated in herself…to tell him? Let him be cocky and have him chasing her all over the ship…and invite him into her room….or not tell him and keep letting his poor libido on spin cycle…
"I love you too Gippal…"
It hit him in the chest like a brick…and at first he though he imagined it. He blinked and waited…then cleared his through and asked her. "What…did you say?"
Rikku whirled up and started playfully smacking him as she laughed with a big smile. "I said I love you. L-O-V-E, second word Y-O-U. you know…'you', also known as idiot!"
"OHHHH!" Gippal said in 'sudden realization' and reached around to playfully land his open palm on Rikku's butt. Not only did it make the girl scream…but it pushed her all the way into his arms, to kiss him again.
Their lips locked together and he stroked her hair back. He felt like such a pervert, thinking about all he wanted to do was pin her to the cold metal floor and take her…here…now.
Rikku broke the kiss and licked her lips. "mmm…Gippal, I think we would be more comfortable in my room…where we can lock the door…"
Gippal smiled wide. And kissed her very gently.
A loud beeping started at Shinra's console, startling both the lovers. Rikku jumped up and ran over to the panel. Gippal took a second to breathe and snatched the girls panties from the floorboards. He slipped the silk into his pocket, leaving his hand inside to stroke the damp fabric. God…he was so close…and now that he knew she wanted him, all he needed was some time alone with her.
Rikku frowned at the screen, a look Gippal didn't like on her delicate frame. "What is it?" he asked.
"Paine, her Comm Sphere had been activated, and it is sending an emergency beacon." The Al-Bhed girl responded biting her nails a little bit. "She could be in deep trouble…"
Wraping an arm around her wait he pulled her close and gave her a deep slow kiss. "Alright…then we go down to the party…collect the crew and go save her…but don't think your off the hook Kido…I'm getting my sex…"
"Your sex?" asked the smaller girl lifting her eyebrow, "I think your massively underestimating my libido."
"Oh…Prove it" He whispered looking down at her, expecting just a hard kiss, but instead, she leaned up and kissed him delicately. Her hand guided his fingers lower…and lower …and lower…sliding the fingertips back up her skirt and onto her thighs. He felt the damp warmth of her flesh and gave a little gasp. She smirked up at him while he looked down a little surprised.
She reached in his pocket, only to disappoint the man by pulling out her panties and turning around. She bent over to slip them back on, intentionally sliding her ass against his erection. "You might want to calm down before we head out there…" She said with a wink and wiggled her but to adjust her underwear.
Rikku loved leaving him hanging like that, a dumbfounded gape to his mouth, hair floppy and his good eye a little wide. He wanted her so bad…and she wanted him just as much. Rikku just liked to flaunt her self control a little…ok a lot.
