Chapter 2: Learning to Apologize

By Flypinays

Yuna rushed into the house, to help Shuyin set Tidus on the living room couch. She knelt down beside the couch and stared at Tidus' unconscious face. A huge red lump was slowly growing on his forehead. Yuna winced; it looked like a boulder.

"I'm so sorry Shuyin." She whispered as she looked down to her feet. She was way too embarrassed to look Shuyin in the eye.

"It's alright. You didn't know that this was Tidus. It's better to be safe than sorry right." Shuyin answered as he gave her a friendly smile to comfort her in her guilt. Shuyin placed his right hand on her shoulder and told her that he would be right back. He was going to get a bag of frozen peas to put on his forehead. Yuna nodded her headed sadly.

She sat there quietly. Yuna sat there with an extremely mad expression on her face. Shuyin returned holding a frozen bag of peas.

"Yuna what's wrong?!" He exclaimed with a worried look on his face.

"Oh it's nothing," she replied, "It's just that I feel really bad. What if Tidus stays in a coma and he never wakes up. What if I gave him a concussion, what if…" Shuyin pressed his finger against her lips to shush her.

"He'll be fine Yuna. Tidus is a strong person, and a pan in the head won't kill him. So don't worry." He placed the bag on Tidus' head.

Yuna nodded her head.

Shuyin extended his hand, and helped her get up on her feet. He led her to her room and told her to rest. Yuna changed into her pajamas then climbed into bed.

"Oh my gosh. I can't believe I caused so much trouble on my first day," She said angrily. She shook her head then went to sleep.

The next morning, the sun was barely beginning to rise. Yuna was the first to awaken; she headed to window and opened it. She could see the sun's golden rays peek over the horizon. She smiled then walked to the living room where Tidus was still sleeping. She knelt beside the couch and brushed her fingers against his forehead.

"At least your bump is almost gone. Your forehead is only red." She whispered quietly to him.

Shuyin walked into the living room as Yuna began to slowly caress Tidus' forehead. It was nice to see her caring for Tidus, but it would take some time for them to get used to having a woman in the house, especially for Tidus. Their mom died when they were young so Tidus grew up with two guys, Shuyin and his dad. Well now they didn't have their Dad anymore…

Yuna turned around and blushed scarlet. "Oh Shuyin I didn't know you were there."

"Oh actually I just woke up." He replied, "Don't worry about him Yuna if you still are. He'll be his grumpy self in no time."

"Oh okay. I was just checking his forehead that's all." She said as she blushed again.

"Hey Yuna, it's seven in the morning why don't we go to the café and get something to eat there, like a croissant or something. It's only a couple of blocks away so we can walk." Shuyin suggested.

"Sure, let me get changed first," She answered.

"No, there's no need to change. We'll just walk a couple of blocks to the café." He smiled.

"But Shuyin, I'm in lavender pajama pants and a white tank top. And you are wearing a white t-shirt and dinosaur boxers," She said. She looked at his boxers one more time and began to smile, "I really like your boxers."

"Yeah thanks. They're pretty sweet," he said as he smiled, "But, then again. Maybe I should go get jogging pants or something." He ran to his room and grabbed a pair of black jogging pants, "Okay lets go."

They walked out of the house. It took around five to ten minutes to get to the small café.

"So Yuna what do you want?" Shuyin asked as they looked at the food displayed under glass.

"Mmm… I'm going to get a chocolate croissant," She said as she licked her lips hungrily, "Oh and I'm gonna get a cup of hot chocolate." Yuna pulled out her wallet from her PJ pockets, but Shuyin gently pushed her hand back as she handed him five dollars.

"No, I'll be paying for you," He said as he shook his head. Yuna smiled at him gratefully, as she found a table for the two of them. Shuyin came to the table holding two hot chocolates and one croissant.

"Thanks Shuyin," Yuna smiled, "So are we going to buy anything for Tidus and your Dad."

Shuyin, whom Yuna usually saw smiling, looked away from Yuna and frowned. "Well we can get stuff for Tidus, but we don't have to buy anything for my Dad."

"Why? When your Dad wakes up I want him to have something to eat. Plus it'll be the first time I meet him since I came to Besaid. I want to give a good first impression. He probably came home late last night. That's why I didn't get to see him. Right?" Yuna asked with confusion.

"My Dad doesn't live with me and Tidus." Shuyin muttered, "He moved to Zanarkand 10 months ago, so that he could live with this girlfriend. His girlfriend's my age, 19 years old."

Yuna, who was about to take a bite out of her chocolate covered croissant, held her delicious treat in midair with her mouth wide open.

"Oh… I didn't know that. When I called a month ago to tell about my Dad's death, he offered me to move in with you guys right away. I just thought that he lived with you guys," She said uncomfortably as she shifted in her seat. "Is it okay that he moved or it's a big deal?"

"I'm fine with it. He's my Dad; I can't stay mad at him forever for leaving us for a girl that's our age. It's fine. Even though he does stupid things, he'll always be my Dad. Its just Tidus that's all, he's really mad. He's always moody now, ever since my Dad told us he was moving. Tidus wasn't always grumpy, like that dwarf in Snow White. What's that dwarf's name? Is it Oscar the Grouch?"

Yuna shook her head with amusement, "No Oscar the Grouch is from Sesame Street. The dwarf from Snow White is Grumpy."

"Oh. Well anyways, don't be surprised when he yells at you for something stupid, or if he just simply loses his temper, because he always does." Shuyin whispered quietly.

Yuna looked down at her hands that she had placed on her knees. It was really uncomfortable to be talking about personal things with Shuyin. Especially since she's only been living with him for well… a day and a couple of hours.

"Well yah, I thought you knew that he doesn't live with us anymore, but you didn't. So it's good you know now. When you called a month ago he was on his monthly visits. He visits us at least once a month." Shuyin said, noticeably trying to change the subject, "Well this is really good hot chocolate isn't it?"

Yuna nodded uncomfortably. They began talking about school. Yuna would be starting her senior year at high school in three weeks, and Shuyin would start his second year of college in three weeks as well. She even found out that Tidus was an incoming senior just like she was.

"You guys will probably take part in the Senior Sunrise, the day before school starts," Shuyin told her.

"What exactly is a Senior Sunrise?" Yuna questioned.

"It's when the whole entire senior year, goes to the beach a couple of hours before the sun rises, and hangs out at the beach till the sun rises. It symbolizes the rising of their senior year. Then on the last day of school, they go to the beach again before the sun begins to set. Then that will be the setting of the senior year," Shuyin explained excitedly, "It's a lot of fun."

Yuna smiled, she was looking forward to the day when they would participate in the Senior Sunrise event. When they finished drinking their hot chocolate, they left and headed back home.

Tidus POV

Tidus rubbed his hands through his face. 'What happened to me?' He thought. His head was throbbing. He rolled to his side and fell to the floor. He now knew that he wasn't on his bed, he was on his couch.

"Oh now I remember what happened," he whispered as he lay down on his back on the floor. He pulled his hands down his face and closed his eyes. Tidus sat up when he heard the door open and his brother's voice chatting with a well… girl. He turned around, and that's when he saw her.

Sure she was pretty he thought. She had shoulder length brown hair, and a slender figure. Her most beautiful features, were here striking blue and green eyes. Seriously, one was blue and the other was green. She was beautiful. She was there standing with Shuyin, holding a small bag that had the words "The Besaid Café" written in the front. She turned and saw him there, sitting, staring at her. He stood up and began to wobble. Tidus thought that he would fall and hit their glass table, when he felt a pair of small but strong arms wrap around his body.

It was her.

She ran to catch him, when she saw him shaking to his side.

"Are you alright?" She asked him with embarrassment. Tidus knew that she was the same girl that hit him in the head with a pan the night before. And even though he felt his heart skip a beat at the thought of someone caring about how he was, his frustrations got the better of him.

"Am I alright? You ask me if I'm alright!!" Tidus yelled at her, "Why would you ask when you know perfectly well that I'm not alright. If you hadn't hit me in the head last night maybe I wouldn't be as dizzy as I am right now."

Tidus watched as she looked away from his face, and her look of concern turned into a look of discomfort and sadness.

"I'm sorry. I know it was a bad first impression, but my name's Yuna. And I hope that maybe we'll start over." She whispered as she placed the small brown bag by his hand. She unwrapped her arms from his body and walked away to her room.

When Yuna was gone, Shuyin, who had been observing, walked up to Tidus.

"Why did you yell at her? She was just trying to help you. She feels really bad about yesterday. Go and apologize Tidus." Shuyin said angrily, "Oh and that brown bag is for you. Yuna bought you a croissant for breakfast because she wanted you to have food when you woke up."

Tidus watched as Shuyin walked away and slammed the door to his room.

He sat there on his butt, thinking. He couldn't help being angry. It wasn't his fault that she hit him in the head with a pan. Come on how did he cause that? He had a right to be angry. He opened the bag and saw the chocolate covered croissant and took a bite. But… then again, she was trying to be nice about it.

"Ahh… I guess I'm going to apologize," He said as he finished his croissant. Little did he know how hard that would be. He walked to his room, and was about to open the door, when he remembered the talk that he had with his Dad and Shuyin a few weeks ago. A girl was going to move into their house because her Dad died, and she would have his room. The plan was that Shuyin would move into the master bedroom, and Tidus would get Shuyin's room. The house after all was a three bedroom, so there was enough room for three people to live in it.

"Oh great now I don't have a room to be alone in yet." He said angrily. Now he knew and remembered why that Yuna girl was in their house living with them.

Normal POV

Yuna avoided Tidus for the next week. First of all, she didn't want him to yell at her again. She had this feeling that he would yell at her again. Secondly, he kept following her around the house like he wanted to say something, so she kept leaving for the beach. And last but not least, she was just scared to be around him.

But then again, it was really hard to avoid him especially since they lived in a small house together.

It had been a long hot summer day. Yuna was hot and sweaty from a day of avoiding the dreaded Tidus. Shuyin was perfectly fine, he was sweet and kind, but she was just scared of Tidus after their first encounter. She went to her room and took her clothes out

After she was done taking of her suitcase. She still hadn't unpacked because Tidus' stuff was still in the room. She took out green shorts and a white tank top for home. Then she picked up her towel that was lying there on her bed.

She was going to take a shower.

She headed to the bathroom and took her clothes off. Then stepped into the bathtub. She adjusted the temperature in order to get the water cold. The water was relaxing after a hot day. Yuna sighed as the cold water ran down her hair and down her back. She stepped out of the bathtub and wrapped her small slender body in a white towel. Just as she finished wrapping herself with a towel, the doorknob began to turn, and the door opened.

She gasped with embarrassment, because there standing at the door jumping up and down was Tidus.

"Yuna I really need to go the bathroom," He said through gritted teeth.

"Tidus. I'm half naked!" Yuna yelled angrily. "Can you let me change first, then I'll gladly let you use the bathroom."

"Yuna I ran all the way from the beach to use our bathroom."

"Tidus I'm practically naked! You should have knocked first. Plus there are other bathrooms in the house."

"Yuna you are wrapped in a towel I can't see anything." He answered impatiently. He started jumping up and down.

"But Tidus…" Yuna protested as she held the towel so that it wouldn't fall.

"Yuna I seriously need to pee!" He yelled. He pushed her aside and unzipped his pants. Yuna stared at him angrily, and gasped as she heard the familiar sound of someone going pee. She frustratingly grabbed her clothes and stormed out of the bathroom, while a smirking Tidus watched her.

Tidus POV

Tidus sat on the pier, at the beach. He was thinking about Yuna.

"Great, now I have two things to apologize for." He said as he rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Now I have to apologize for yelling at when she bought me a croissant from the café, and now I have to say sorry for entering the bathroom while she was supposedly naked," He said as he waved his hands in the air with annoyance.

Shuyin had come home from his summer job right when Yuna stormed out of the bathroom in her towel. Shuyin walked into the bathroom and saw Tidus standing their zipping up his pants.

Tidus smirked as he remembered Shuyin's reaction.

'What did you do now?' Shuyin had asked. After Tidus explained what happened, Shuyin told him to apologize for that as well.

"Great how am I going to say worry, when she won't even come near me?"

Normal POV

Yuna sat in her room, tying her hair up in a ponytail. She was getting ready to run around the beach. She picked up a pair of socks and began putting them on. Then she looked up when Tidus came in through the door.

"You know that people with manners knock on the door before they enter right?" She asked with sarcasm.

"Yeah whatever," Tidus answered. He came in looking for a book to read, but when he saw Yuna dressed in jogging pants and a t-shirt, he walked to her bed and sat right beside her.

"Hey, are you going running?" He asked her.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Yuna replied as she lifted one of her eyebrows with curiosity.

"I'm gonna run with you." He said in a monotonous voice.

"Huh? No you are not!" She exclaimed. 'I don't want to be alone with you. You need an attitude adjustment.' She thought.

"Well I'm running with you still." Tidus answered.

Yuna rolled her eyes then nodded her head. 'I guess it won't be too bad' She thought again.

"Oh hold on." Tidus said as he went to his closet. Yuna watched him, wondering what he was doing. Tidus grabbed hold of black jogging pants, and pulled off his shorts to reveal blue boxers. Yuna yelled and her jaw dropped open.

"Tidus what in the world are you doing!?" Yuna yelled as she grabbed a pillow and covered her face as he began to take off his shirt as well.

"I'm changing into running clothes. Do you expect me to run in the clothes I was wearing?" He asked with sarcasm.

"Stop being such a girl, Yuna. You live with a bunch of guys get used to us shirtless or changing in front of you." He answered in a monotone voice.

"Well if you haven't noticed I am a girl." She yelled angrily as she threw the pillow at him.

Tidus pulled his clothes on and laughed. Yuna shook her head and walked out of the room.

She stood by the doorway and began stretching. She lifted her arms and stretched like she was trying to reach the sky, but then a hand enclosed on the top of her head.

"What are you doing?" the annoying Tidus asked.

"Stretching. I heard that if you stretch, your muscles won't be as tense." Yuna answered.

"Well do a different stretch exercise, you look like a baby trying to reach for a cookie jar at the top of a table."

Yuna stood straight, "Fine let's see you do an exercise Tidus!"

Tidus who had been tying his shoes on the floor stood up and bent over backwards. Yuna's eyes widened with awe.

"I-it isn't that impressive." She mumbled.

They began to run out the door. They ran up the hill towards the beach and through the sand. Then they ran on the dirt roads and paths that zigzagged through the dark green trees. The two of them ran till Yuna stopped and bent over with her hands on her knees breathing hard.

Tidus, who had kept running, stopped when he noticed that Yuna was no longer beside him.

"Keep up slow poke you've been doing good so far." He said as he ran in place.

"Well we've been running around the island without breaks. That's probably around more than three miles!" Yuna answered as she breathed heavily.

"Well it's a good thing we can run." Tidus answered as he walked back to her.

Yuna sat underneath a tree, and lay down.

"We have to keep running or the harder it'll be to continue." He said angrily. When Yuna didn't move and just laid there, Tidus shook his head and sat down next to her.

"I'm so tired. Let's just walk home slowly, okay." Yuna whispered as she rolled to her side.

As Yuna rolled on her side to face him, Tidus noticed a leaf dangling in her hair. He reached out his hand and pulled it out.

"Here," He said gently as he handed it to her.

Yuna opened her eyes and took the leaf. She simply nodded her head, and watched him. It was still awkward being around him, since he was always angrily and had a loud voice. But then again… he was being so gentle, calm, and quiet at the moment.

Tidus gave a long sigh then looked Yuna in the eye and said, "I'm sorry that I've caused you so much trouble and losing my temper on you Yuna. It's just that I have such a hard time controlling my temper." He mumbled.

"Huh? I didn't quite catch what you said," Yuna asked as she stood up to be level with his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Tidus mumbled under his breath again.

"I'm sorry Tidus I didn't hear what you said again. Speak louder please." She said as she moved closer to him in order to hear.

"GEEZ YUNA STOP MAKING ME REPEAT MYSELF. I SAID I'M SORRY FOR BEING SO MEAN TO YOU!!" He yelled angrily.

Yuna backed away and stuttered, "I'm sorry I really didn't hear you." She looked at the grass that they were sitting on. She hesitated but smiled then placed her hand on his, "Thanks for apologizing."

"I'm sorry I yelled but it was really hard to apologize then have to do it again two times." He said as he looked away and scratched the back of his head. It was uncomfortable for him to have her hand on his, but then he knew it was just a friendly gesture.

"No need to apologize," She whispered, "I was never angry at you, I just got scared of you that's all. My Dad told me that a great person learns to forgive even though it's hard for them to. Forgiving others opens a part of your heart, so you learn to love and forget the wrongs that others have caused you." She took her hand off of his and stood up, "Lets go home."

Tidus stood up and they walked home together in silence. Not an awkward silence, but a happy silence where no one talks only because they're overwhelmed with accomplishment.

When they reached the house, Tidus opened the front door. There stood Shuyin holding up white flyers. Yuna and Tidus exchanged confused looks.

"I saw you guys walking to the door through the kitchen window. There's a carnival going on in three days. They want to have one last event before school begins. School begins one week after that carnival you know." Shuyin said cheerily as he stood there beaming at them.

Yuna smiled as Shuyin walked up to her and gave her a hug hello. While Tidus rolled his eyes and walked to the living room, sat down, and turned on the tv.
