Tidus was silent after
Rikku's messages. He turns to Yuna for some answers but she turn
away from him. He was completely lost in thought.
"Rikku…"
he said her name. "Did you know?" he asked Yuna.
Hesitated she
answer "Yes, I knew. I only knew it, after you left." She
replied.
"I did have some feeling for her but…it just…"
but lost the word to say.
"I wonder sometime," Yuna started.
"If it wasn't for me, would you?" she asked him.
"Why you
ask a question like that." He asked her on defense.
"I was
just wondering." She said taking a step back. Tidus turn away and
remember what Rikku said on the video: Sometime I have dreams or
fantasy about you and me. It only me, I guess…
"I have
to…"
"Go," Yuna interrupt. "I'll meet up with you at
Besaid." She said and left with her boat. Tidus watch her go and
ran off to find Rikku.
Rikku
ran as fast as she can, away from her fear, away from her desire,
away from Tidus. But than she stop and hear running foot steps behind
her. She knows it was him coming. He must be finish with the video
and have some question to ask her. She can't face him, not what he
just saw and hear. She runs faster. She tried to get to the
Fahrenheit ship at Mushroom Rock Road so she could hide there. But
the pain from their battle together brought it told and she
trip.
"Oh, ouch!" she said hitting the ground. "I should
have healed myself after the battle." She sits herself up. The foot
step was coming closer. She knows she can't out run him. For him
and she have speed. He is actually much faster than she is even
though she's a thief. She just has to face him, like all of her
fears. "But this is different," she thought. This is the secret
she been keeping from the first time they met to the time she saw him
and Yuna kissing at the lake. She remembers how her heart shatters on
that day, but knowing they are destining to be together.
No wonder
that the Sin attack her ship on the day they first met. He not
supposes to be there. His story don't start there, it starts at
Besaid village where he was to meet Yuna, her cousin. It's just a
fantasy, a stupid fantasy. Now her fantasy has revel himself to her.
She looked back and rise.
"How am I going to get out of this
one?" Rikku asks
herself.
"Rikku…"
Tidus begins but Rikku hold up her hand to speak. She took a deep
breath and begins to speak real fast.
"It was just a crush just
a little crush I didn't mean to revel so much on that video sphere
that I…" but Tidus put his finger to her lips.
"Let me speak
now," Tidus said slowly. Rikku nodded but pray that he didn't see
the goose bumps.
"Auron told me about you having a crush on me.
I guess I didn't believe him."
Rikku turn away, trying not to
look in his blue eyes.
"I really don't have any excuse for
this so I'll better be going," Rikku said trying to make a dash
for it but Tidus grab her arm that makes her fall back to him. Rikku
push him away and step back. She accidentally looked in his eyes and
was lost. She shook out of it and looked at the floor as he came
closer.
"Ed'c zicd y vyhdyco, zicd y cdibet vyhdyco..."
Rikku mumble her breath. When she looked up, she was lost in his
eyes.
"It's just a fantasy." She whispers to him.
"Really
now?" he asked her and without knowing, kisses her. Shock and
shaken by this, she didn't have time to react. Her body frost like
she turn to stone by his kiss. She falls in her dream. When he stops
and let go, she could breathe again. Scare that this will change
their friendship because of this; she hugs him with tears in her
eyes. He wraps her in his arms.
"Please, don't let this change
our friendship and your love to Yunie, Please!" She cried.
"I
won't, I promise." He replied. They finally let go and went their
separate ways, without looking back…
