The first week that Tidus was back, was full of Yuna's happiest times. Each day felt like a new adventure, even though they spent it doing the same thing as the day before. They would take long walks around the island. Even fiends did not disturb their peace. When they would reach the beach, Yuna would walk up to greet the small waves crashing down on the shore. Her boots would be discarded. She would look for sea shells while he would just watch, but watching was never that exciting. So Tidus would sneak up behind her and grab her around the waist. He would surprise her with a kiss, which she would eagerly return, yet he would surprise her even more when he had walked them deep enough into the water that he could dunk her under the waves.
She would come up, sputtering water, while he would let out a lively laugh before he, too, was dragged under. The whole moment was reminiscent of their first kiss in the Macalania forest. He would hold her close why they kissed in the clear blue ocean water. It was sweet and full of love.
When they came up for air, the two broke in a water war, splashing and dunking the other as much as they could.
This would go on for a while before the couple would make their back to the beach and lie in the sand, having their clothes dry in the warm island sun. Tidus would ask questions about his two years away, and Yuna would gladly answer them. The questions would fade, and their interest would turn to the world above them, just gazing at the clouds and the clear blue sky.
Their favorite time of day together was at sunset. They would sit in the bleach white sand, surveying the orange sun painting the sky crimson while having light dance across the golden surf.
Tidus would gently help her up, and Yuna would stand up right into his kiss. Lips would work against lips for what would seem like forever before the couple would walk, hand-in-hand, up the hill to reach the village.
The village would be out celebrating again, seeing how they were in the time of the Eternal Calm and that Tidus, a village friend had finally returned to be with Yuna; the village was in high spirits.
The duo sat quietly at the edge of the bonfire, a little bit away from the crowd. Yuna would be leaning into Tidus' side while their hands were laced together. Tidus' free hand would be resting comfortably on her left hip, rubbing small circles with his thumb. Tidus would whisper small comments into Yuna's ear, sending shivers down her spine because of his warm breath. Yuna would occasionally smile and laugh, and make her own comment which would cause him to chuckle. Yuna would play with his hand, taking off his single black glove to feel his hand. They were still rough from their previous adventure together, but she could tell the calluses were beginning to fade. Her hands were small compared to his, but still held the same marks.
Yuna's head would find its spot in the crook of his neck. She would close her eyes and take deep breaths, taking in his scent. Tidus would smile down at her before glancing at the party that was slowly fading. Lulu and Wakka could be seen together, holding young Vidina, while just relaxing in the other's company. Most of the Aurochs belted, off key, old folk songs while stumbling over each other in clumsy drunkenness, even the village elder had a red flushed face from a few drinks. When it seemed like no one else was left in the village and the fire was put out, Tidus would scoop Yuna up in his arms and carry her into their hut.
Tidus always liked this moment out of their day the best. Yuna had changed, and it was as clear as day to him. From all the stories of her adventure in the last two years, to her mannerisms, and, of course, the way she dressed, Tidus could tell Yuna had really grown up. But she was still Yuna to him, the same girl he fell in love with. She was still gentle, even though she was more outgoing than she once was, and she was still caring. He could still read he like a book, and, sure, her newfound independence had made Tidus feel a little unneeded, but it was times like these when she was asleep in his arms that he felt like nothing had really changed. That she was still a summoner in need of her guardian.
The once guardian would lay his summoner gently on her bed before making his way over to his small little mat in the floor, they hadn't found him a place to stay yet, and this was the best they could manage on short notice.
Before he would leave, he would give her a soft peck on the lips. He would then take one step away when a hand would shoot up and catch his. This is when he would see her at her most vulnerable. She would look up at him with her bi-colored eyes, pleading with him not to go. Guilt would make his chest ache. They both knew he was there to stay, but the fear of losing him was still fresh in her mind.
He would give her a sad smile while whispering something along the lines that he would never leave her again or that it was okay. He would climb over her into bed, pulling her close into his chest. His arms would wrap around her waist, giving her a sense of security, a sense of warm, a sense of love. Tidus would then begin a trail of soft, feathery kisses down her neck, mumbling about how much he loved her and how much he needed her. Soon, Tidus would slowly stop kissing her and his arms would loosen up, and that was when Yuna knew he was asleep.
That's when Yuna's favorite part of the day would begin, in the dead of the night. She would lie awake, closely listening to the beat of his heart and the sound of his breath. This is when she knew he was alive, that he was there to stay. All her doubts would be washed away like the waves washing away the foot prints on Besaid's white beach. She would be gradually lulled asleep by his heart's steady rhythm.
Then they would wake up the next day in each other's arms, sharing a moment of pure bliss to start another day on their island paradise.
Okie dokie! This is about the couple's first week together. I know that's probably not that original, but I wanted to give my own rendition of it. I hoped everyone liked it! I'm not sure if I getting Yuna just right. I mean I've played FFX dozens of times, so her character from the game is engraved in my mind. And I have watched a lot of story line from FFX-2, and I have played a few hours in it, (I didn't like the game play style that much and it just didn't feel as right playing without all the other characters, plus I want to make sure I don't miss anything, so I'm kinda paranoid to play it, weird right?), but that was a while ago, while FFX is still fresh in my mind. So if anyone has any advice on Yuna or would like to make any comments where I can improve that would be great! Or if I'm actually getting it right, that would be nice to hear too!
Also if anybody was wondering why I chose the Al Bhed Psyches for the team the Aurochs would face in Blitzball Date, it is because if you ever played blitzball in FFX they are the hardest team to face! I mean the game's plot line makes a big deal about the Luca Goers, but they are nothing compared to the Psyches! I mean Nimrook?! He's amazing! I would kill to have him as my goalie!
But other than that I think I just about got everything I wanted to say out. Please review! Tell me what you liked or disliked, or even something you would like to see, whatever you can think of! Thanks for reading!
P.S. Tell me if I'm doing a good job with Tidus too!
