Two Girls, One Guy, and One Crush
By:Utana Hikaruoto
After school the gang went down to the beath for a swim. Wakka mangaged to get Tidus alone behind the huge rock Tidus and Rikku were playing on the day before.
"So brudda, how do you like it here?" Wakka asked.
"I'm really enjoying it here." Tidus said.
"Is there any girls you think you might want to hook up with yet?"
"I'm not too sure. On one hand I think that Yuna is really great and we have a lot in common,but on the other hand i love Rikku's optamistic attitude and I feel more comfortable with her then with any other girl." Tidus said hanging his head.
"Ah i see,so you're getting a crush on both Rikku and Yuna."
"I'm not getting a crush on both of them,i can tell you that much, but i just don't know who,if i choose, to date."
"Brudda,just go with your feelings. Don't ever choose to love someone because they seem like a better choice,but choose that person because deep down you really like them. It helps a whole lot that way,ya?"
"Words of wisdom from the great Wakka. Personaly, I think your right,but what if i can't tell who i have the bigger crush on."
"Then it's real simple. Take Rikku and have her hang out with you the whole day without any other friends coming over and see if sparks fly,then spend a day with Yuna,with Rikku with you of course,because she sensative when it come to a guy she likes hanging out with Yuna, and see if you feel anything like love for her."
"Wakka,i'm not going to love them this soon! Hello wake up!"
"Fine, then see which person you have the crush on the most. By the way,who is it so far?"
"Well...Um...Er... I have no clue..."
Wakka grinned.
" Rikku is a very good choice. She can always livin up the mood. Yuna's also a good choice, cause she's serious about realtionships."
Tidus began to laugh.
"I'll keep that in mind."
"There you two are,i've been looking for you guys." Rikku said.
"We were just talking." Tidus said walking closer to her.
"Oh no you don't! If you think that you're going to to dip me then you're wrong." Rikku said holding up her hands and shaking her head.
"Of course not." Tidus said nodding his head in agreement then jumped on her, knocked her to deeper waters, and then knocked her under water. Wakka shook his head.
And he says he doesn't know. Wakka said joining the others.
Tidus was on top of Rikku as they both began to sink. Tidus just stared into Rikku's swirly eyes, and Rikku looked into his blue orbs. Tidus rested his head in between her neck and shoulder. Rikku wrapped her arms around his body and Tidus did the same as they both drifted in the deep waters. Everything was just calm as they floated in the water.
She really does spark soemthing in me. Tidus thought as he closed his eyes. rikku began to run her right hand through his hair while still holding on with her.
Oh,Tidus. Rikku thought as she closed her eyes as well. Suddenly it was as if something in her brain was malmuctioning. All she could see was gray and black fuzz,until it gave away releving a memory she didn't remember being in.
Tidus and Rikku were sitting on a huge rock watching the sun set. They both were fifteen.
"Rikku,do you think we'll always be together?" Tidus asked.
"Till the end of time." Rikku replied.
"You really do spark somehting in me."
Rikku turned to Tidus smiling.
"Oh,Tidus." Rikku said leaning her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. Tidus lifted up her chin and kissed her passionatly on the lips.
Rikku began to kiss him back. Tidus leaned into her more and caused them both to fall into the water still kissing. They seemed to drift in the deep water as they both began to kiss sharing someone new. Somehting that could only be love. They stayed like that for a while until Rikku swam up with Tidus on the bottom of her. Once they emerged they swam back over to the rock and Tidus pressed Rikku up aginst it and began to kiss her with flaring passion. they both were kissing eachother all over. Tidus began to kiss Rikku's neck and lifted up her legs and held on to them,and pressed her harder against the rock. Rikku gave a slight moan and her cheeks had a slight blush. Tidus began to slowly un tie her bikini top.
Rikku then snapped out of the memory.
Rikku swam to the surfise quickly. Once she got to the surfise she began to gasp for air,not reealizing how long she was under water.
"Rikku,you ok?" Tidus asked.
"Yeah,i just ran out of breath." Rikku replied feeling dizzy
"Are you sure you're ok?" Tidus asked again.
"Yeah, I'm just fin-" Rikku then past out and began to sink in the water.
Rikku woke up two hours later with a munch of worried faces looking down at her.
"You ok Rikku?" Lulu asked.
"Yeah, I don't know what happened... I had a memory sort of thing..." Rikku said in a weak voice.
"What do you mean by memory? What happened?" Paine asked interested.
"Me and Tidus were at the beach... We both were fifteen and we were watching the sun set... Tidus kissed me and we both fell into the water... We began to kiss each other under water and tehn i swam up... Tidus pined me to the same big rock we fell off of... We starting kissing again,but it got out of hand... We started kissing kissing each other with passion, love,lust and we didn't stop... Then things got to a boiling point and he just let loose... Then i came out of it..." Rikku said softly.
Wakka had a grin on his face, Lulu was smiling after hearing this juicy story and so was Paine,but Yuna wasn't so amused. She wasn't grinning or laughing or anything like that,her face just held a look of jelousy and envy.
"What do you mean let loose?" Yuna asked trying to keep her calm.
"He just... Went a further step." Rikku said simply. Yuna turned to look at Tidus,but all she saw was a beet red swirly eyed Tidus.
"You ok?" Yuna asked waving a hand in his face. Tidus soon came too was still slightly blushing.
"Rikku i moved when i was five and me and you din't know each other when i was fifteen,so how can that be?" Tidus asked ramaing calm.
"I Think it has to do with my hospitalitation." Rikku said getting her strength back.
Tidus's ears perked up.
"You were haspitalized too?' Tidus asked with a look of shock on his face.
"What do you mean 'you too' ?" Rikku asked confused.
"When i was fifteen i got into an iccident."
"Same here"
"What was your iccident?" Tidus asked curious.
"I cna't remember. All i remember is waking up in te hospital." Rikku said getting a suspisious feeling.
"That's it I want to know the truth." Tidus said slightly angered.
"What if our parents wont tell us the truth?"
"Then we'll just have to jogg more memories."
"But how?"
Tidus looked at the others for ideas. Paine and Lulu had something in mind.
"Why don't you two trying doing something... On a romantic level." Paine suggested.
"I don't get it." Tidus said.
"Everytime these memories spark they happen when ever you two become closer. If Tidus and you were to share a special moment,then maybea memroy will spark off romantic memories between you two." Lulu said cooly.
"But whta if we just want regular memories?" Rikku asked.
"Then just hang around us." Paine said.
"But what if we want to now abouth the accident?" Tidus asked.
"There is only one way. You have to complete your memory and get as many memories as you can,then when you remember enough about everyone and everything then the iccedent should reveal it's self." Auron said from the door way.
"Auron what are you doing here?" Tidus asked.
"I may be your school teacher,but i've known you guys sense you all were babies. I knew your parents longer then that,so i think that information on how your doing is going to get back to me pretty quickly." Auron said sarcasticly as he walked into the room. Yuna was not happy about this idea,but why?
"Where am I?" Rikku asked noticing she was not at the beach.
"My house." Tidus said.
"Is it ok if I get some sleep?" Rikku asked.
"You don't even have to ask." Tidus said. he walked over to the bed and gave Rikku a hug.\
"See ya later. How long do you want to sleep?"
"Just thirty minutes."
Tidus nodded and walked out with the others.
Everyone else went back to the beach,but Tidus and Yuna went to Alley's Ice-Cream Parlor.
"So Tidus, how close are you and Rikku?" Yuna asked.
"As close as two friends can be i guess." Tidus said as he ordered a tripple fudge cone.
"Well,that's good. Rikku's been lonly lately and i know it's my fault."
"What makes you say that?"
"Me and Rikku used to hang out all the time because I never really cared much about my popularity,but now i've been going to a lot of parties,birthdays, and such and Rikku refuses to go out of pity."
"So, why don't you hang out with Rikku instead of going to those parties or ask who ever is throwing the party to invite her too."
"I don't think she would be comfortable."
"Why is that?"
"Because all of the people who hold popular titles are there,and Rikku might not want to be around them."
"Why isn't Rikku popular?"
"Because she never get's involved with the popular kids. I mean,she's not a total out cast,she's regular, but she just dosn't want to hang out with my group,she only hangs around me. And she has gotten some popularity fromt hat, but i know she dosn't want to be popular because she my cousin and because she hangs out with me." Yuna said as she got her vinilla ice0cream cone.
Yuna needs to try harder,for Rikku sake, at spending time with her. Tidus thought as they took a seat out sid eof the parlor.
"Do you care about your popularity now?"
Yuna htought about it for a secound.
"I think I do, because I realized that they expect a lot out of my because i'm Braska's daughter."
"What does your dad do?"
"He invented the new ransportation fethod with in cities and towns. You now, teleportation pods to get from one end of the city to another. They're used in Luca a lot. And my mom is a fashion designer, she owns her own lable. "
"Is Rikku's parents rich?"
"Hell ya! Do you not know what her dad invented?"
Tidus shook his head surprising Yuna.
"He invented blitz ball! Plus, Rikku's mom came up with a better medical system! He's a very important man!" Yuna praticly shouted.
"Then why isn't Rikku popular! I think i might love her dad now!" Tidus said excitedly. Yuna laughed at him.
She's got a pleasent laugh. Tidus thought.
"Nobody at school knows she's his daughter."
"How did her dad invent blitz ball?"
"Well,he did research on very old sports to see what they were like. He played and liked those sports so he decided to create a game that uses all of those skills. Soccer,vally ball, football, and swimming are the old sports that he put together into one game,blitz ball. He taught his friends how to play once he finished thinking of the rules and created the water dome you could breath in. His friends loved it,so they started to show other people how to play and then the spira govnerment offerd him LOTS of money to make blitz ball the offical Spira game because it made people happy. He excepted and blitz ball has been famous every sense."
"Wow! I want to meet him."
Yuna looked at her watch.
"You could sense thirty minutes is up."
They finished their ice-cream and stood up. Tidus grabbed Yuna's hand and smiled at her.
"Let's go!" Tidus said as he began to run back to his house,pulling a laughing Yuna with him.
Once they got to Tidus's house Rikku was already awake.
"Hey you guys." Rikku said. closing the house door behind her.
"Well,your quick to get up." Tidus said laughing. Rikku began to laugh too until her eyes wandered down and saw Tidus holding Yuna's hand. Her smile slowly faded as a look that showed a hint of sadness appeared.
"So Rikku, want to go back to your house? I really want to meet your dad." Tidus said still not noticing he was still holding Yuna's hand.
Rikku's eyes kept on staring at the ground as she finally began to talk again in a voice that sounded like her mind was on something else.
"No,not today." Rikku said dully.
Why is he holding Yuna's hand? He's really no different. Rikku thought angrily.
"Please! I'll do anything!" Tidus begged fake pouting.
"Anything eh?"
"Yeah."
"That dosen't sound too appealing to me."
Tidus's face turned into one of shock.
"What?" Tidus asked surprised at her answer.
Rikku walked past him and started to walk home. Tidus finally let go of Yuna's hand and ran up to her. Yuna waited there until they got back.
"Rikku, why do you seem angry?"
"Because while I was sleeping you and Yuna decided to hook up." Rikku said as she began to wlak aster.
"Me and Yuna didn't hook up. What are you talking about?" Tidus asked.
Rikku staopped and turned around,facing him.
"Oh really! Then how come you and Yuna were holding hands while you were talking to me!"
"Holding- Oh! That! me and Yuna went to the ice-cream shop while you were asleep. She told me that thirty minutes were up so i grabbed her hand and ran back to the house. I didn't notice I was still holding her hand."
Rikku didn't really believe him,but she let it go. She turned back around and began to walk home again. Tidus scensed that she really didn't believe him,so he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her neck making her stop.
"It's the truth." Tidus said softly. Rikku closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling he gave her.
"I believe you." Rikku replied softly.
He let go and she turned around to look at him and gave him a slight warm smile. Tidus leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Rikku looked surprised when he looked at her face. They heard foot steps and parted quickly.
"You two really are slow." Yuna said.
Rikku and Tidus both laughed.
"Well,i'm going to join the others. See ya." Yuna said as she walked down the hill.
Rikku grabbed Tidus's hand and began running off in a different direction. once she got to where she wanted she ket go of his hand in front od a HUGE mansion that hand a stone walk way that led to a gate. They went in the gate were they saw a water fountain in the middle of a stone path. To the sides were little gardens that had ponds and tiny lights.
"Wow! Whose house is this?" Tidus asked as he looked around.
"Mine." Rikku said as she opened the front door.
Inside Rikku's house was amazing. There was a lot of beautiful paintings,pictures, and artifacts that,some, seemed to be priceless.
"Wow!" Tidus said stepping through the door.
"Is that like your new special word?" Rikku asked laughing. Cid then wlaked into the room as Rikku closed the door.
"For a minute there I thought you'd move in with that guy you were staying with." Cid then noticed Tidus.
"Dad this is Tidus, Tidus this is my dad." Rikku said. Tidus was excited to meet the inventor of blitz ball.
"Very nice to meet your sir." Tidus said as he shook his hand.
"Dad be right back, I want to go get somethings out of my room." Rikku said before dissapearing off inot another part of the mansion.
Cid lead Tidus into the living room. They both took a seat.
"It's nice to see you again." Cid said.
"What do you mean?"
"You and Rikku were best pals when you lived here last."
Tidus was even more amazed by him.
I thought he would try to cover up Rikku's and my past together. It's good to know he's truthful. Tidus thought.
Cid scanned Tidus then gave a sigh.
"I know you've been having memories of yours and Rikku's romantic life."
"So,those memories weren't fake?"
"No.of course not. You lived here until you were fifteen,then you were sent back to zanderkand after the accident."
"What was my feelings toward her?"
"It first started out as liking her,but then it went on and continued to a simple crush then a big crush."
Tidus didn't know if he was pushing his luck,but he wanted to know more.
"W-What was our realationship?"
Cid knew he would ask that.
"All I can and should say is that You two tried to date each other."
Tidus still wanted to know more.
"Did anyone ever move into our house while we were in Zanderkand?"
"No."
I can't believe it. The accident gave us both amnesia. Tidus thought.
"What was the accident?"
"Now that, is what you'll have to find out for yourself. When you remember more then come back and ask me.
Tidus then heard Rikku's footsteps ans wanted to get in one mroe quick question.
"By the way, what was my wish anyways?"
Cid gave a quick grin.
"I want you to fingure it out." Cid said.
"Why?"
"Because I want you to show her, not tell her. Tidus it's ok to fall in love with other girls, that's why I'm limiting to what I'm telling you. If you are truly in love with Rikku then you should feel it deep down in your soul, but if you fall in love with Yuna, then it's ok because your being true to your heart.Your the one who decides not me. It should never be me." Cid said before Rikku entered the room again.
"Tidus come up to my room. I have to many things i want to show you to carry!" Rikku said laughing.
Tidus followed Rikku to her room were she showed him everything she wanted to show him.
"Let me see if there's anything else in my closet." Rikku said digging deeper into her closet. Something then fell to the ground and Rikku picked it up.
"What's this?" Rikku asked herself as she turned around and sat back on her bed with Tidus. It was a picture frame,but dust covered the picture. Rikku blew on it and gasped at the picture,making Tidus look at it quickly.
It was a picture of Tidus and Rikku lock in a very passionate kiss.
Rikku started to blushing.
"Maybe you should check for any more pictures."
Rikku got up and began to dig deep into her closet on the top shelf again. She came out with a pink box that said "Private" and took a seat next to Tidus again.
"Let's see what's in here." Rikku said taking off the lid
The rest of the pictures were normal ones. Some of them laughing together and goofying around while others were more romantic. After they had finished looking at the pictures they put the box away.
"I guess we really did have our romantic lovey moments." Rikku said.
Rikku layed back down on her bed.
"We got another two hours before you have to go home." Rikku said.
"And what do you want to do?" Tidus asked.
"Why don't you work out in the gym down stairs." Rikku suggested.
"Cool. but what are you going to do?"
"I'll make us some strawberry virgin dakaries." Riiku said.
They both went down stairs and went their seperate ways. Tidus took of his shirt and began to lift some weights. Rikku took her time to make them some drinks and some snakes for them to eat. She decided to give him an hour in the gym. Once the hour was over she peeked in the gym door. Tidus was lifting some weights and had just put them down, he picked up a water bottle that was supplied in the gym and gulped down the drink. His body was sweaty and rikku just stood there and stared at his body.
He's hot! Rikku thought.
Rikku enetred the gym and covered Tidus's eyes from behind.
"Guess who!"
"Rikku, of course."
Tidus turned around and indead it was Rikku. He smiled at her thinking about what Cid had said.
I wonder if we ever the real thing. Tidus thought.
"So, shall we go." Riiku said
"Sure." Tidus said smiling charmingly at her.
They both went into the kitchen and took their time with the refreshments.
"cam I have another Virgin Dakary?" Tidus asked.
"Sure."
Rikku took Tidus's cup and began to walk over to the blender. She suddenly begins to have a memory.
Rikku and tidus are making-out in the kitchen, when they noth begin to get agressive. Tidus pushes her inot the counter knocking things down, and continues making-out. He liftes her onto the counter and begins to agressivly kiss, and starts kissing her neck, then her mouth, then her neck again.
Rikku comes out of it.
Rikku quickly walks over to the blender and pours Tidus another one. She hands him it and sits down with a look of shock on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" Tidus asked gulping down some of the dakary.
"I just had a memory. We were making out in the kitchen." Rikku said.
"Well then let's try it again." Tidus turned around, wrappe dhis arms around himself so you could see his hands in the back, and made fake kissing noises.
Rikku laughed at him.
Yuna then walked into the kitchen.
"There you guys are! I thought you were at Tidus's house by now-" Yuna stopped in mid sentence and looked at Tidus like he was crazy.
"Tidus, what are you doing?" Yuna asked laughing at him. Tidus turned around and looked at Yuna.
"I'm making out with some hot chick, watch." Tidus turned back around and continued. Yuna laughed even harder.
I'm surrounded by crazy people. Rikku thought laughing.
"Nope we're still here." Rikku said.
"So, do you guys want to hang out here or go do something?" Yuna asked.
"Anything is fine with me." Tidus said.
"Yeah, same here." Rikku said
"How about Club Star." Yuna said.
"Ok." Tidus and Rikku said at the same time.
They went down to Club Star and entered.
Cool techno music was booming inside the club and many people were dancing in this huge club.
They started to dance to the techno song. Tidus stopped swaying to the music for a minute and watched them dance. Yuna and Rikku could both really dance.
They all took a seat tired form dancing. Tidus took a seat with them.
"I'll be right back. I'm thirsty." Yuna said getting up and going to the bar.
Tidus and Rikku were just looking around not really saying anything.
"So what do you guys want to do?" Yuna asked.
"Let's go to my house and chill out for a while." Tidus suggested.
"Ok." Rikku said. Rikku tried to jump off of the chair, but her foot got caught un the chairs leg bars. She fell down and the chair went with her.
"Ow!" Rikku screamed. Tidus quickly jumped off his chair and got the chair unstuck.
"Are you ok Rikku?" Yuna asked worridly bending down to her side.
"No... My ankle... It hurts so much." Rikku said holding her ankle as her eyes watered up in pain.
"You can't walk on that ankle." Tidus said. He bent down and turned his back to her.
"Get on."
Rikku wrapped her arms around his neck and tidus stood up taking Rikku with him. He held her legs with his arms to support her and went toward the exit. Once they got out side Tidus stopped.
"Yuna run ahead and go tell my parents that I'm bringing Rikku over and that she hurt her ankle." Tidus said.
"Ok, got it." Yuna said then sprinted off to Tidus's house. Tidus began to walk again.
"Thanks for carrying me." Rikku said placing her head on his shoulder.
"No problem."
Once they got to the hill Tidus put Rikku down and too off her right boot.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm seeing if there is any swelling."
Tidus looked at ehr ankle.
"It's beginning to swell up. I need to get to my house quick before yout ankle is as big as a blitz ball."
Tidus picked her up so that way he was carrying her from the front. He saw a nice pond and stopped there. He took her shoe off again and put her ankle in it.
"The swelling is going down." Tidus said.
"Yeah because the water is frezzing COLD!" Rikku yelped out at the coldness of the pond. Tidus took her foot out of the pond and boot her boot back on. He lifted her up once again and went to his house. Once he got there his mom was already at the door with ice back and blankets.
"Tidus take her into the living room." Amy said.
Tidus did as he was told and put Rikku on the couch while Tidus's mom closed the front door behind them.
"Are you ok?" Yuna asked.
"Yeah, i'm fine." Rikku said smiling at her cousin.
Tidus's house is cousy. Yuna thought looking at the lit fire place.
"You two girls are going to have to stay the night. It's going to be a bad storm tonight so I think it will be safer if you two stayed here. I've already called your parents and they agree." Amy said.
"Thanks." Yuna said sitting down on one of the couches.
There suddenly was a knock at the door. Jecht went to go get it. It was Paine, Lulu, Wakka, and Kimari standing out in heavy rain.
"Come in quickly!" Amy said.
They came in slightly wet.
"What happened?" Yuna asked.
"We decided to come over to visit old Tidus but just as be got to the door it started to rain." Wakka said.
"Well, it's good that you got here when you did." Amy said before walking into the kitchen. She came back out with mugs.
"Here everyone have some hot chocolate and honey can you turn up the heat it's a little chilly."
"Fire place not enough? Alright then i'll turn it up." Jecht said turning up the heat.
They all sat down.
"I guess we have to stay the night here." Wakka said.
"Jecht will call your parents while i take a run out." Amy said.
"But it's raining so hard." Rikku said as Yuna put a blanket on her.
"Everytime it rains this badly I usualy go out and cheak around to make sure everyone is in there homes. I can't stand it when people arn't safe in their houses." Amy said she grapped ehr coat and umbrella and went out.
Jecht re-entered the room.
"You're parents know that you'll be staying here for the night." Jecht said taking a seat on the couch.
"You guys should get some rest. I'll go get soem extra blankets, pellows and beds you guys can pull out the couch beds." Jecht said going to the closet and grabiing every blanket and pellow he could find in there.
"He handed eahc of them a pillow and blankets and helped put Rikku on one of the beds.
Comfy. Rikku thought. Jecht put some sheets on her and then a big thick blanket to keep her warm.
Amy came in with two young boys.
"These guys were trying to get back to their houses. but the rain was too thick and they couldn't see." Amy said pulling off her coat.
"I'll go get some extra pj's." Jecht said.
"Wow you guys are prepared." Paine said.
"We always want to be ready for a storm. Tidus said laughing.
Jected handed the two boys the extra pj's and they went off to change. They came back fairly quick.
"What's your guys's names?" Tidus asked.
"I'm Zeth." A guy with spiked red hair and hazle eyes said.
"I'm Symour." A blue haired guado said.
"Yuna, Tidus, and Rikku sleep on one bed. Wakka, Lulu, and Kimari sleep on the next bull out bed and of course our two new guests get their own bed." Jecht said.
"Should we go to bed?" Tidus asked as Zeth and Symour sit down on their spare matress.
"No, but you guys do have to lay down." Amy said. Everyone laid down on their beds and snuggled in with the big and puffy comforters that was provided along with soft silky sheets. Rikku moved over so that Tidus could lay in the middle with Yuna on his right and Rikku on his left.
Two hours later everyone was asleep. comfy, and warm. Rikku slowly woke up and turned her head towards Tidus. Tidus's arm was arounds Rikku's waist and his other arm was around Yuna's shoulder. Rikku heard Yuna move and closed her eyes. Yuna lazily got up, went to the bathroom, came back down stairs, and layed down next to Seymour still half asleep.
Why did she go over there? Oh well, more leg room for me. Rikku thought laughing at herself.
