Chapter 2: Fallen Embers
**blah** -- thoughts
~*~ -- Time change
(This idea came to me while listening to Savage Garden's "Two Beds and a Coffee Machine" and
"Affirmation" - it's a rather dark installment into the story but I figured it needed SOME angst. It'll be
happy again soon, trust me. Little clips of the song "Affirmation" are in it - it's a great song -
Download it!)

**I believe you can't control or choose your Sexuality…**
A week had passed since Wakka and Tidus confessed their love for each other on the beach in Besaid.
By now - the gossip of it had spread through the small town - there was a ~gay~ couple living in the
paradise. Some of the citizens - such as the blitz team, Yuna, Rikku and Lulu - didn't mind about the
relationship. The rest on the other hand…
A rock came hurtling out of the underbrush and smacked Tidus in the back of the head.
"OW!" was the response.
A chorus of snickering came from the direction of the rock.
"He says 'ow' like a little girl would." A voice and more snickering. "Hey freak! Catch!"
Another rock was hurtled at Tidus's head. He squinted his eyes and proceeded to stand his ground,
might as well get as to run away. The rock never connected with his face. One eye opened slowly.
"Huh?" Tidus blinked and looked at the fist holding the rock. It was feminine…slender. "YUNA?!"
Sure enough - the young summoner had caught the rock that was planned to smack Tidus upside the
face. She hurled the rock with a startling amount of force back into the brush. There was a rather
sickening SMACK! as it hit something soft. There was a cry and whoever it was decided to go play
somewhere else.
This was very un-Yuna like. She was the semi-pacifist of the bunch. Rarely - if ever would she
intentionally hurt another person.
"Are you okay? Did they hit you very hard?" a virtual torrent of questions poured from the fair faced
summoner.
"Yeah…i'm fine Yuna…They only got me once. I could have defended myself you know!" Ah. Such
is a man.
Yuna quirked her head slightly. She poked him in the ribs softly.
"Doing a GREAT job at it too Ace." she giggled and tugged him along the pathway.
"Wakka's been waiting for you for the past hour or so - you know that right?"
"Sorry Princess. I haven't had time to meet the King's demands. I had practice with the
Aurochs…Since Wakka's an OLD MAN now and doesn't play Blitzball."
Yuna pushed him into a coconut tree, but must have underestimated her force. At that instant, a
coconut glided straight out of the tree branch and conked Tidus on the head, bounced up again and
conked Yuna. It then hit the ground and broke in two.
They blacked out.
~*~
"Urghh…"
"Ah! The young prince has awakened." Wakka's voice.
Tidus rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed. Wait. Bed? Last time he checked - he was out on the path
with Yuna.
"…Is Yuna okay?" he rubbed his eyes again, trying to focus his crossed vision.
"She's fine brudda. It's you I'm worried about, ya?" Wakka's face had a look of concern plastered on it.
"Wakka - what exactly are you talking about? I'm fine." How convienient at that moment that a sharp
pain shot up Tidus's back and forced him to lay back down. "OWWW! Damnit what happened?"
"Those bastard Blitz wannabes that moved here a little while ago beat the shit out of you." Wakka's
tone had dropped several notes and become rather flat …it did that when he was angry…or frustrated.
Or both.
"Beat me…? But last I remember was getting conked on the head by a falling coconut. Before that I
only got hit with a rock."
"Well - welcome to the world of hatred, ya? They beat the snot out of you while you were
unconscious. Luckily Rikku and Lulu happened to be wandering the path at that time and found you
before they killed you."
Tidus blinked a few times. …Killed? People were this afraid of it, huh? He realized that the rules were
different when it came to Spirian Law…but to go as far as killing someone over sexuality. The mere
thought made Tidus physically sick. He proceeded to lean over the bedside and vomit. The fluid was red.
Blood.
The young man caught one glimpse of it, wavered, and collapsed into unconsciousness once again.
Wakka kissed him on the forehead as saline tears welled up inside his eyes. He wiped them away...but couldn't stop from crying quietly.
"Sleep good…ya? Everything will be okay in the morning my Angel."
And he than began to sing softly…
"I believe you don't know what you've got until you say 'Goodbye'
I believe in Love surviving Death into Eternity…"
END CHAPTER TWO
I know, I know! It's rotten of me to do this and put it so short and at such a cliffhanger - but I don't
know what else to write right now…and this chapter is way past due. You may want to kill me - but I LOVE this tortured angst thing…but I'll try not to over do it and kill the storyline. Chapter 3 will be
soon! ^_^
