Chapter Four: The True Start of Our Story

Tidus and Yuna had stayed at their spot in the Macalania Woods for a week. They decided to return to Besaid, but not before they went to the Moonflow. Tidus had one last surprise for Yuna. He had waited until midnight to show her this. It was a bed floating on the Moonflow, pyreflies lighting up the sky. Yuna smiled gently, and looked at her husband's intense blue eyes. Tidus spoke softly.

"This is our first time. I wanted everything to be perfect and special for you. I love you, Yuna."

Yuna smiled and stepped into the clear water, shedding her clothes slowly for her husband, and Tidus followed her, swimming swiftly, and he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately and softly, as they climbed into the bed, and continued their loving kiss. Tidus moved his kisses to the soft skin of her neck, and he smiled as she tilted her head back. He leaned his upper body over hers, and he kissed her lips gently, and Yuna whispered to him.

"Tidus, I love you so much. There's no one else I'd rather have take this from me."

Tidus smiled, and he kissed her cheek, whispering softly into her left ear.

"Yuna, I love you just as much. And you're taking it from me too. I wanted this to be special. And it wouldn't be unless it was with you. Just tell me when, and I will."

Yuna kissed his lips softly, and smiled, nodding. Tidus took his cue, and slid inside of her gently, feeling her body tremble, as a sharp stab of pain rushed throughout her lower body, and the pain died into a more pleasing feeling. Tidus had decided to start slow and build up the pace; he kissed her intensely on her lips, neck and chest, as he pushed his lower body forward in synch with each kiss. Yuna was gasping silently, pleased that he was so gentle. They continued for a half-hour before Tidus climaxed deep inside. Yuna had twice already, and she did a third time as he released deep inside her. Tidus hugged her to him and lay on his back, and Yuna was wrapped in a blanket, her head deep inside his chest, and he stroked her hair softly.

"I love you so much."

Tidus said that as she drifted off to sleep. Waking early the next morning, the newlywed couple decided to return to Besaid in the Celsius. Tidus flew the great airship back to Besaid and landed in the shallow beach water as Brother and Rikku came looking for them. Wakka and Lulu were not far behind them. Brother was infuriated that they were gone so long.

"We need that airship so we can go to Home. Or at least what's there. We're rebuilding, and the supplies needed are onboard the Celsius. I'll try and explain to Cid, but I doubt I can pull one over on him. So we'll take back our ship, and you go to your new house up on the hill. We made that while you were away. Wakka and Lulu are living there too. Me and Rikku are leaving now. Goodbye Yuna."

Rikku was the next to speak, but she pulled her older cousin aside. She spoke in a low voice.

"I just hope you didn't do anything stupid. A baby is the last thing you need right now. And I'm not ready to be…."

Yuna cut her off with an angry glare.

"We want a baby Rikku. Frankly, I do not care what you, or Brother or Cid has to say. My life just took a major turn for the better. And you're not going to ruin it. Just because you're deprived doesn't give you the right to talk down to me about that. Now leave me alone. My husband and I would like to check out our new house."

Rikku was in tears over what Yuna had said about her being deprived.

"You big meanie!"

Yuna just laughed and took Tidus's hand and ran towards their new house, smiling widely. Tidus held the door open for her, and she ran inside. The inside of the house was amazing. Silk curtains, beautiful furniture. The kitchen was marble floors. Yuna and Tidus both smiled widely as they saw their new home. Wakka and Lulu came in, and smiled. Lulu broke their silence

"You sure look happy Yuna. Despite what Brother said, this is all yours. We know you need the privacy."

Tidus smiled at them both.

"Thanks Lulu. And Wakka, I'm playing for the Aurochs. But I wanted to ask you something. When do we start practice? I need to get back out there. Two years of nothing will do that to you."

Wakka just smiled.

"Soon, soon. But your first priority should be Yuna, ya? You two just get settled in, and leave the practice to me. I'll keep you informed brudda. Now you two get some rest ya?"

Wakka turned to leave, and so did Lulu. Tidus and Yuna started up the stairs for a quick shower and then lunch. Tidus stepped into the hot water, and Yuna followed, her hair hanging down to her shoulders. She had cut her hair to shoulder length, because it was easier to manage. Tidus found her beautiful no matter how she looked. They quickly washed and dressed, walking downstairs for a quick lunch. Tidus had prepared ramen of the highest quality, which she enjoyed rapturously. They both had two bowls and settled into their new bed for the night, exhausted from the previous week. They had not slept for two nights. Yuna slept in her husband's arms, and they were soon both asleep.
