Coping With Love
Chapter 6: I'm Here For You
By FlyPinAyS
The next morning, Yuna and Tidus sat next to one another in their first period class. They were both extremely tired since they slept really late the night before. Auron had started his first lesson.
Yuna looked to her right and watched as Tidus eventually lay his head down and went to sleep.That morning, Yuna had a large bruise on her thigh. She was lucky that she wasn't limping.
No sleeping. You can do this. Stay awake! Don't be like Tidus the jerk.
Her eyes kept closing, so she tried using her index finger and thumb to keep them open. A fellow classmate stared at her with a weird expression on his face.
When she saw him staring, Yuna blushed. "My eyes were itchy," She said, trying to give an excuse. The guy just shook his head and looked away. It was too hard for her, so sleep eventually took over.
Auron POVAn hour later, the bell signaling the end of class finally rang. All his students raced out of the class, except for two. At the back of the class, Yuna and Tidus were both sleeping.
"What in the world?" He said. Auron walked towards them and shook Yuna's shoulder gently.
She slapped his arm in response and said, "Five more minutes. That damn ninja kept me up all night." Auron rubbed his forehead in confusion then shook Tidus.
Tidus pushed away his arm and also whispered, "Five more minutes, that darn jinx, kept me up all night.
"Are they talking about each other?" Auron asked.
He stood between the two of them then yelled, "Yuna! Tidus!" Yuna and Tidus woke up with a start and got up. They packed their things and stared uncomfortably at one another.
Tidus glared at Yuna and yelled, "You darn Jinx, look we slept through the bell I'm going to be late!"
"What do you mean, I'm going to be late too! Go do some fancy stunts and run to your class you damn Ninja!" Yuna yelled. They both raced for the door, exiting at the same time.
"MOVE!" They both yelled in outrage as they got stuck in the doorway. Auron shook his head.
Okay then. I'll just pretend like that didn't happen.
Normal POVIt was finally the last period of the day.
Oh geez. It's time for PE.
Yuna slowly made her way to the girl's locker room to change into the PE clothes that she had bought the day before. Then she walked to the gym by herself. Everyone sat among the bleachers waiting for Ms. Barrow, the new PE teacher. She was going to tell them what they would be doing for the next few weeks in class. Yuna smiled when she found her group of friends and headed for the area where Rikku, Paine, and Gippal sat.
Ms. Barrow, a short plump woman walked to the middle of the gym
Oh boy, here we go.
"Class, I am Ms. Barrow. I am the new PE teacher this year. I am nice, but strict when I have to be." She yelled above the teens' loud chatter. She cleared her throat hoping for everyone to be quiet, but when they didn't she angrily rolled up the sleeves of her long sleeve shirt.
"SHUTUP!" she yelled. All the students in the gym quickly shut their mouths.
"Is she allowed to do that?" Yuna asked aloud. The only person that heard her was Gippal, who was sitting right behind her.
"No one really cares," He whispered to her as he bent towards her.
"Oh."
Ms. Barrow walked around in circles as she shook her head, "Since this entire period is all seniors, the staff decided that we'd allow you all to have different lessons than the lower classmen. Today we'll be learning a very important lesson."
"I guess she takes the class very seriously," Gippal joked as the four of them gave a small laugh. The teacher glared in their direction, and they all looked down to their feet.
"We're going to be learning how to waltz for your first lesson this year." Ms. Barrow smiled.
Yuna looked up. "Huh?" she asked stupidly, "shouldn't that be for a dance class?"
Rikku giggled, "I don't know why we're doing dance in PE, since there are dance classes in the school. Yay for senior year, this'll be fun. At least we won't have to run."
"Oh, and one more thing," Ms. Barrow said, "You can choose your partner today."
All the students began laughing and giggling as they quickly rushed to their desired partner. Rikku and Gippal just grabbed hands, and Paine walked to this rebel looking guy.
Yuna sadly looked around. She knew no one except… Tidus.
She stood up and found him in the middle of a crowd of girls.
"Tidus be my partner. I'm an amazing dancer." All the girls swooned.
Yuna sighed and watched as he swam his way through the crowd.
"Sorry ladies, but I already have a partner." He said with a hint of annoyance.
Yuna looked up and watched confused as he walked in her direction.
"Yuna is my partner." He said giving an innocent smile as he grabbed onto her hand. All the girls moaned disappointedly and left to find a guy that didn't have a partner yet. Yuna looked towards Rikku and Paine and saw them both giggling with shock.
What is going on!?
Yuna couldn't help but blush, but eventually slapped his hand off of hers.
"What are you doing?" She asked angrily, "Who said we were going to be partners?"
"No one Jinx, but you had no partner. Those girls were suffocating me, so I decided I'd be yours." He smiled.
"Whatever." Yuna huffed. She had to admit; she didn't really mind being his partner at all.
After a few minutes, Ms. Barrow turned on waltzing music and began instructing the class. As soon as all the partners were on the on the floor, they all began to dance except Yuna and Tidus.
"What's wrong Yuna?" Tidus asked as she stood in front of her, "Why are you just standing there like an idiot? Dance."
"Well... I don't know how to." Yuna blushed.
"That's why Ms. Barrow is teaching us."
"I'm still confused, I'm a visual learner. I need someone to help me step by step."
Tidus laughed and held up his arms as if holding an imaginary partner, "That is how a girl's form should be." Then Yuna lifter her arms, copying him.
Tidus moved closer to her and grabbed hold of her hand, while placing his other hand on her waist. Yuna blushed and looked down to her feet. He helped her move in time to the slow beat. However, he frowned because every time Yuna continuously pulled away from him.
"Yuna." He whispered to her clearly irritated.
"Yah," she answered as she counted out the beats.
"We won't look good dancing if you keep pulling away from me. A mountain could probably fit between us."
"Well Tidus, what if I want a mountain to fit between us!" She answered quickly. Tidus sighed and pulled her closer to him. Yuna held her breath as she felt her body touch his.
"This is going to be one long class." He said shaking his head.
When they got home, Yuna sat on the couch exhausted. Tidus jumped beside her.
"You looked like you were going to cry every time I placed my hand on you! We were just dancing!" He asked.
"Why are you making it such a big deal?" Yuna asked angrily.
"Because, PE could have been such a relaxing period. BUT NO, my partner had to go berserk on me." He said in one breath.
"W-well you make me so uncomfortable!"
"Yuna, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Tidus asked as he moved his hands through his hair.
"No."
"Have you ever danced with a guy before or been kissed?"
"No."
"Have you ever held a guy's hand?"
"N-no. Actually yah I have."
"Who? That seems hard to believe." Tidus said sarcastically.
"Well… y-you." Yuna murmured as she twiddled her fingers.
Tidus looked away and gave a small smile, "I forgot about that."
"I'm sorry I got mad. It's just that, I was tired today and I'm not a patient person." He said to her as he walked to his room.
During the night, Yuna headed to the bathroom to take a shower. She stepped inside the bathtub and started shampooing her hair. Her eyes widened as she saw a spider climbing down a thin strand of its web. She was deathly afraid of spiders. All of a sudden, the lights went out.
"Oh my God." She yelped. How could it get any worse? Out of the blue she could feel a set of small legs crawling down her back. She screamed.
Tidus barged into the bathroom. "YUNA! YUNA what's wrong!" He ran towards the bathtub, which luckily had curtains.
"Oh my God, get away. I'M NAKED!" She screamed to him.
"B-but what's wrong?" he said as he backed out of the bathroom.
Yuna felt the spider move on her back and shrieked again, "No, no, no. Come back. Kill it!"
Tidus was about to open the curtains.
When Yuna screamed, "Don't make another move."
"Yuna stop confusing me. Do you want me to help you or not!" Yuna washed her back, hoping that the spider was off and wrapped a robe around her body. She jumped out of the bathtub and into his arms.
"I'm am deathly afraid of spiders, and I don't like the dark." She said with fast intakes of breath.
"That was it!" Tidus said with shock, "I thought someone was killing you!" He dropped her onto the floor and picked up the flashlight that he had dropped in the hallway.
He walked to his room with Yuna following behind him. "Were you worried about me?" She asked him shyly.
"Of course! Who wouldn't be worried if you hear someone screaming like there's no tomorrow." He said as they sat down on the bed together.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd be scared or worried."
Tidus sighed, "Just because we fight a lot doesn't mean I'm not going to be there for you when you need someone. I'm here for you."
Yuna grinned. "Thank you Tidus. What you said really meant a lot to me."
The lights finally turned back on. Tidus gave her a weird look and shook his head. "Go finish your bath Yuna."
"Huh?" Yuna asked. She realized that she still had shampoo in her hair. She gave a small laugh and quickly walked back to the bathroom to finish her shower.
A week passed, and Yuna was extremely excited that it was finally the weekend. On a cloudy Satuday, she walked back home from a trip to the beach. Yuna noticed a familiar car parking into the driveway.
She couldn't help but smile as soon as she saw him climb out of the car. Shuyin was back for the weekend. He turned around and smiled as soon as he saw her.
"Oh my God, Shuyin!" Yuna yelled as she rushed to his side. She jumped into his arms and Shuyin twirled her around.
"How have you been? I missed you." He beamed.
"I'm doing fine." She said. With their arms around one another, the two of them walked into the house.
Tidus warmly greeted his brother and they all cooked dinner together.
The three of them ate dinner and shared stories of their first week of school. A few hours later someone knocked on their door and rang the doorbell. It was already late, so they all wondered who it could be.
"Who could that be?" Shuyin wondered as he put down his spoon and fork, leaving the kitchen.
Yuna and Tidus listened intently as Shuyin opened the door.
"Shuyin! It has been a while since I visited my sons. It has been over three months now," a low voice boomed, followed by a high giggle.
"Is that a man or a woman?" Yuna asked Tidus, whose eyes widened. He looked down to the floor and threw down his napkin. He stood up and walked to the door shoving his way past the mysterious stranger.
Yuna ran to the front door and raised her hand to her mouth. At the door were Jecht and his very young girlfriend. Jecht's girlfriend was like a leech holding on to him for dear life. Shuyin stared back at Yuna, and she noticed the embarrassment in his eyes. Then, she realized why Tidus had rushed out of the house.
He didn't want to see Jecht.
"Yuna!" Jecht said to her, "I haven't seen you since you were five. You are beautiful. By the way, I'm sorry about your Dad." Jecht walked over to her and gave a tight hug. Yuna merely smiled.
Shuyin pulled Jecht to the kitchen where he offered the couple dinner. As they sat to eat, Yuna ran out the door to look for him. A few minutes into her search, it began to rain.
"Where are you Tidus," She screamed frantically as she looked around the town. She headed to the beach, which was the only place she hadn't looked yet. Yuna ran to the pier and gave a big sigh when she saw his figure standing on it.
"Tidus!" She screamed as she headed towards him.
Tidus looked back at her with a worried expression."Yuna what are you doing in the rain!?"
"Looking for you, dummy. Plus, I can ask you the same exact thing." She said, hoping they would argue. If they argued, then that meant that everything was normal.
Tidus walked towards her and held her face in his hands.
"You're going to get sick. Go home stupid." He said to her.
"No way. Not without you." Yuna replied stubbornly, "You might get sick as well."
"I'm not going home as long as he's there. He doesn't care if I'm home anyways." Tidus exclaimed.
"But Tidus…"
"What?"
"I care if you're home." She said as she placed her hand on top of his.
Tidus hugged her closely then grabbed hold of her hand, "Fine let's go home together. Lets get out of the rain."
They ran home hand in hand and hastily opened the door to the house. They were both soaked to the bone.
"Is anyone home?" Yuna yelled as she walked through the house. She found a note on the kitchen table. The note read:
Dear Yuna,
Dad and Cherie both want to watch a movie. I told them to wait for you and Tidus, but they wouldn't hear it. I'm sorry if you're upset with me for not helping you find Tidus and for leaving. The best thing right now is to keep my Dad and Tidus separated. Expect us home around 11.
Shuyin
Yuna crumpled the note and threw it in the trash. "Your Dad isn't here right now. They went to the movies." She informed Tidus.
"I figured that out already." He said quietly. He pulled off his water-drenched shirt and got a towel.
"Come here," Yuna said as she walked to him. She took the towel from him and gently wiped the water off of his face. Then she rubbed the towel over his head to remove some of the water from his hair.
Tidus placed one hand on her back and slowly moved the strands of wet hair from her face with the other. Yuna stopped moving her arm and stared directly into his eyes. Yuna started feeling nervous. She could feel butterflies in her stomach, and all of a sudden she became self-conscious.
"Even though you irritate me most of the time, I've become so used to you beside me." Tidus whispered as he slowly moved even closer to her, "Yuna."
Yuna held her breath as Tidus placed his soft warm lips on hers. She closed her eyes and sighed.
Did he just kiss me?!
