Plan IV: Feelings?

Tidus was always an honest, open boy. Innocent and stupid to a fault. But never in his life, had he felt this strange around anyone. He was stuttering for the love of Yevon. The fact that his face wouldn't stop being red didn't help in the least either. It was as if his body had a mind of its own right now and it decided it wanted to malfunction in front of Seymour.

Honestly, the man was always around now a days. He wouldn't stop giving Tidus friendship gifts, nor would he stop giving Tidus those wonderful little touches that the blonde was growing used too. Even in battle, the blonde was always backed up, not by Rikku anymore, but by Seymour who had joined their party in order to further his friendship and possible relationship with Yuna.

At that fact, Tidus had felt a little…green? He didn't know, but he felt strange and that was that. Swinging his sword at an invisible fiend that was currently attacking him, the blonde failed to notice the man of his thoughts watching him, carefully preparing himself to heal the boy. He knew Tidus was being a bit odd around him lately, staring sometimes with a somewhat angry look on his face.

Perhaps what Seymour was doing was becoming taxing on the boy. After all, it was a bit strange that the very man that had exuded dislike for him the moment they met, would suddenly start showering the boy with gifts, expensive ones to boot. Like the sword the blonde was using. It was called the 'Grimoire'. A very intricate sword, shaped like the roots of some old tree to form the very blade, it boosted both your mp and any magical attacks.

Another thing the blonde had was a buckler called 'Demento' which protected from berserk and increased his agility. The blonde seemed grateful to have some new weapons and armory on himself, and even used those much more than any of the others he had. It pleased the guado that the blonde had so eagerly accepted those gifts, and made sure to buy more weapons that would help the boy.

However, for the last week, after the incident with the Chocobo, the blonde had avoided Seymour at all, and it sort of stung the bluenett. After all, he had thought he had made progress with the boy. Perhaps it was just his imagination. A short cry made him snap out of his musings, to find a curt Tidus fall on the ground as the fiend started to make its way towards the fallen blonde.

Seymour would have none of that and quickly attacked with a thundaga, finishing the fiend off, walking up to Tidus to inspect his wounds. Seeing nothing that required special care, the man casted a cura, helping close up any of the small nicks and slightly deeper cuts on the blonde.

Tidus stood up, thanking Seymour quietly, his face hidden behind blonde bangs. The Maester sighed lifting a long fingered hand to gently slide a nail against the boys warm cheek, eyes narrowing as the blonde flinched back at his cool touch.

'I am glad you are alright. I would not wish for one of the Lady Summoner Yuna's guardians to be hurt' said Seymour, not knowing just what Tidus felt at the moment.

Tidus merely kept hi head down, cheeks inflamed by the touch of the mans elegant hand. However, upon hearing Yuna's name, he sighed and gave a somewhat frustrated smile. Always about her. The blonde really needed to get his feelings sorted and over with. Still, it was nice for a moment to think the Maester had done this for him, and him only. What was Tidus ever going to do about his feelings?

He simply couldn't figure out for the life of him why his chest fluttered around the older man, or why he enjoyed the secret soft touches of the older one. It was simply something that had happened. When? He supposed when he had helped Seymour with the bite that Chippy had given him.

Still…had he always felt this way whenever the man showered him in attention?

No, he doubted it, he always ignored the man. He supposed the way he felt right now, had been the same frustration Seymour had felt when he first started giving Tidus some friendly gifts. The blonde would make sure from now on to take all the gifts Seymour gave him with a big smile. He wouldn't want Seymour to feel as frustrated as him.
