Sleepless Chapter 10

"I am so sorry, Kairi!" Tidus said genuinely as he walked to her. It's not like he didn't want to go on a date with Kairi. He just didn't want to rush anything, especially if she's still worrying about Sora and Riku. She was sitting up on her bed, staring at him. He reached her and held her chin gently. The corners of Kairi's mouth turned up and she started laughing.

"I wonder where they'll set us up," Kairi chuckled. To his surprise, she seemed happy about it. Tidus let go of her. He smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Just don't get ahead of yourself." Kairi warned while she hit him playfully in the chest. He chuckled to himself and nodded.

"Of course I won't," he promised. Clicking filled the room again. "Selphie, don't you have enough blackmail already?" He groaned as he turned to see the returning cupids.

"I just need to make sure! Are you ready?" Selphie asked enthusiastically while she jumped up and down with the disposable camera.

"Now?" Kairi asked a little surprised.

"Of course, we're not gonna be giving you a break!" Wakka replied. He was by Tidus and hit the blonde boy in the head.

"Ow! That hurts!" Tidus stated as he hit Wakka back. Wrong move. Wakka got him in a headlock and Tidus was left struggling to get out.

"Alright! Boys out! I'm going to get some make-up on Kairi!" Selphie beamed while she pointed her finger towards Kairi.

"Wha-No!" Kairi refused. She ran to her bathroom and locked the door.

"Kairi! C'mon! It'd be fun." Selphie tried to convince with the door between her and her best friend.

"No! I'm not putting any make-up on." Kairi said stubbornly. "Now get out so I can get my clothes." Kairi ordered. Selphie looked at the boys and quickly pushed them out. The boys didn't object to get out, they were use to girls. The three reached outside Kairi's room and Kairi eagerly shut the door. "Thank you very much." The red-head called behind the door. She opened her closet and rummaged through it for what to wear.

"So she does want to look nice." Selphie whispered to herself, so none of the boys could hear. Then she pouted, "But then again, Kairi wants to look nice all the time."

"Who are you talking to?" Tidus asked once Wakka let him go.

Selphie turned to Tidus and smiled, "No one! What are you going to do on the date?" She quickly switched topics.

Tidus's jaw dropped and he turned around, "You two are unbelievable."

"'ey!" Wakka grinned as he slapped Tidus's back, "Admit it. You want to go on this date."

"Hey!" Tidus argued. It was embarrassing enough getting blackmailed. He didn't want to overstep the line between Kairi and him. The hard thing was, he didn't know where the line was. "I'm not admitting anything to you two." He mumbled.

"But he'll admit anything to Kairi…"Wakka whispered to Selphie.

"What did you say?!" Tidus yelled.

"Nah, not anything. He couldn't even tell Kairi when he started liking her." Selphie said in disappointment. Tidus started cursing profanities but Wakka was quick enough to shut him up with another one of his famous headlocks. By this time, you'd think Tidus would try and think or a counter for it. Selphie shook her head and turned to Kairi's door. "Kaiiiiiriiiii! Are you done yet?" Selphie sang. She pushed the door open to a crack and took a peek. "K-Kairi!" She screamed as she ran into the room, with the boys quickly in tow.

I just love giving you cliff hangers. I'm so sorry. Hehe. Review?
