Plan VII: I miss you

It was raining. A lot. Cates and dogs, hell, Tidus swore it was a damn river that was falling down on them! They were currently in the Thunder Plains, much to Rikku and Tidus' despair. Tidus wasn't afraid of lightening, but being struck by it after several hours of walking did tend to make one altogether weary.
Yuna of course was being protected by the constant nulshock that was being cast b Lulu, who seemed to be immune to the lightening which seemed to purposely aim for Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka. The red head just narrowly missed being shocked for what might have been the 36th time. Not that Tidus and Rikku were keeping count. Oh no, not at all! That would be cruel.
'C-Can we rest here?!' pleaded poor Rikku as we reached another of Rin's Travel Agency branch. I was relieved to see the little yet extremely cozy hotel/shop. Besides, he could brush up on his Al Bhed this way. After all, Rin was hoping to hold a proper conversation with him in Al Bhed, and the blonde did not want to disappoint.
At first, the others were reluctant, but it was Auron who ultimately decided they would rest. The blitzer swore he saw Auron grin sadistically as he walked away from the pleading Al Bhed girl. He shall now assume that the older man had just been toying with Rikku all along and had decided from the beginning that they were going to stay there.
Tidus snerked when Rikku said she would roommate with Auron, who looked a little peeved, but there was just a hint of pink hidden on his slight tan face, making Tidus grin. Ah, somehow, he knew he would have to avoid being awake late tonight. Yuna and Lulu naturally would buddy up, and Kimahri and Wakka would room, leaving Tidus to his own room.
He didn't mind, he'd been hoping for a while to father his thoughts. He just didn't assume it would be so soon. After eating a light meal, Tidus said goodnight to everyone, quietly asking for his room key, but not before purchasing another Al Bhed Premier, when the cashier girl noted how many Al Bhed Premiers the boy had, she immediately grinned, pulling out an envelope and another free Al Bhed Premier, for advanced learners.
'Rin told me to give you this. He thanks you for your patronage and also for being so willing and enthusiastic about learning' she said, handing Tidus the book and envelope. Thanking her, the blonde went into this room and sat down on the small little comfy bed, unlike the other rooms he had stayed in, this one actually had a window, letting him see the nightscape of the Thunder Plains. He was amazed to find that every little droplet of water seemed to glow, almost like stars.
He wondered why this was, and noted there was a smaller book with the Al Bhed Premier he had won and opened it first, smiling as he saw it was a little booklet on all the mysteries of Spira. Rin was certainly a nice man, always lavishing Tidus in gifts.
The blonde read just why it was that the water that seemed so normal in the day time seemed to glow so radiantly in the night. It seemed because of all the constant thunder that seemed to ring through out the plains, and how the ground just seemed to collect all the high voltage power and convert it into something so beautiful and harmless. Smiling, the blonde continued reading, finding out about the pyreflies a bit more, the Macalania Forest, Guadosalam, and Guado's themselves. It made Tidus blush somewhat as he saw a picture of Seymour in the book. It must have been a newly published book.
He even learned that the spheres in the Cloister of Trails were actually once called 'Materia' although there wasn't any information available on them, what little Al Bhed explorers found out about them was that they had been to keep things such as magic. This intrigued Tidus, and the blonde wondered if they would ever truly find out the truth about the spheres.
Closing the little book which still had many mysteries written in it, Tidus laid on the bed, closing his eyes, picturing Seymour. He wondered what the older man was doing right now, and if he would be here anytime in the near future. Opening large blue eyes, the blonde boy from Zanarkand turned on his side to sadly drift to sleep, dreaming of Aquamarine eyes and gentle smiles.
'I miss you……'

'Tromell, have you heard about the whereabouts of the Lady Summoner Yuna and her guardians?' asked Seymour calmly, finally finishing his treaty signing and pushing the paper away, setting his small glasses down on it.
'Yes, Master Seymour, they are in the Thunder Plains, currently staying at one of those Al Bhed agencies' answered Tromell loyally, taking the treaty papers to put them in an envelope and hand it to the large Rhonso sitting there, his tail twitching as he eyed Seymour like a predator would a prey.
'Good, I'll be heading there now. If I hurry, I may catch up with their party, and provide my services to the Lady Summoner' said Seymour, standing up, quickly preparing himself. Tromell gave one of his wizened smiles. Hands reaching to grab some potions, the older Guado seemed to pause in his actions for a moment.
'Master Seymour, in order to impress, you must hold that high dignity and not look eager' said the old man. Seymour paused and hesitated for a moment. Was he that obvious? He thought his skills were flawless, then again, this was the Guado who had almost raised him. Always wise and kind. Yes, he never once betrayed Seymour or hurt him.
'Do I…look eager?' he asked turning to look at Tromell.
The older Guado gave him a smile that said it all. Seymour looked down, for the first time in his life, he felt like the child he never had the chance to be. He broke into a smile at first, then started laughing, Tromell gave him a smile, seeing the twinkle in Seymour's laughing eyes made the old man smile.
It had been years since he had the honour of being graced by Seymour's happiness. To actually witness the man break down into a fit of giggles, Tromell could die happy there. Once he calmed himself down, Seymour sat down, running an elegant clawed hand through his hair. Thinking about it, he had suddenly realized that Tidus had slowly made him lower the cold act he had always had.
In the beginning it was all to get the boy in his good graces, but now, he genuinely felt like he wanted to be accepted. Standing, Seymour grabbed the sword and armour he had made especially for Tidus, preparing to leave.
'Tromell, in my place, keep the Guado safe and please, do tell them to keep under check, we do not wish to be better than the others' he said, walking out with his two young guards, leaving Tromell to deal with a fretting consul. After all, why should they get in the way of the young Seymour's happiness?
With a grin Seymour immediately departed Guadosalam, traversing the long hall that lead from Guadosalam to the Thunder Plains. It was shorter than the route to Yuna party had taken, but Seymour knew they had to first go to the Temple in Macalania and head from there to their current location. It was alright, it meant they would at least take a rest, and it wouldn't take long for Seymour to reach them.
Looking up at the thundering Skies, Seymour couldn't help but grin more, walking into the plains.
'I miss you….'

Well this is another update for my loyal reviewers. I hope this was longer. I was listening to 'I miss you' by Blink 182 and decided to start typing up another chapter to my one-shots. Thought somehow they seem to now be linked. How weird is that?
I was glad with how this one turned out. I hope I didn't go too out of character. I mean, I wanted to stay in character as mush as possible, but I think I 'EPIC FAIL'-ed at that. So lets see how people like this chapter.
I'm so glad that people are actually reviewing this. I mean, I honestly thought no one would review. Its nice to know other people like Seymour/Tidus, no one seems to write about them and its just sad. Anyways, to end this, I want to say thank you for all the reviews. Hopefully the next chapter will be posted soon.
