Summary: Paine has a question for Gippal, who is gradually filling his own grave.
A/N: Yes, MORE. >> Still taking requests, suggestions, etc. Best of Rikku/Gippal at Quite the Couple. Check it out!
Typical day, typical stop from Yuna and company, that's what Gippal, was beginning to think them as, Yuna and company. He shaded his eye with his hand, squinting as they came closer. Yuna swaying, Paine sauntering and Rikku bouncing. He grinned and waved. Rikku waved back. He wasn't offended. Waving was beneath Paine's dignity and apparently Yuna wasn't the waving type of person.
"Hey Ci-" He started. Rikku glared at him. He smiled and scratched the back of his neck. "Rikku."
She nodded.
Paine scowled and glanced between them. "Are you one of them?"
Gippal blinked completely lost. "One of them bwa-who?"
Yuna bit her lip and avoided looking at Rikku. Gippal glanced between them. Or, Yuna and Paine weren't happy with Rikku. Ho boy, this could get interesting.
Rikku sighed, crossed her arms and turned her head away. "Pops has ordered me to date and you know, is typically setting me up on lots of them all at once and," she turned her head to look at him, "Paine wants to know if you are one of the guys I'm dating. She seems to think that it'sfun."
"Cid is setting you up?" Gippal widened his eye in mock surprise. "Man, that's-" he paused, 'typical of Cid come to think of it."
"Yeah, he's setting me up." She sniffed. "It's not like I couldn't do it myself, but no."
"I don't think it would be a good idea to argue with your father's methods."
"You're always on his side." Rikku stuck her tongue out at him.
He stuck out his tongue back.
"I could catch a man on my own." She muttered.
"I believe you."
Her eyes lit up and she tilted her head. "You do." A smiled played about her lips.
He smirked. "Sure you could," he reached over and pushed her a little. "You know, when you grow up a little."
She flushed, flipped her hair and walked past him, deliberately hooking her foot out and pulling his legs out from under him. His arms flailed and he tumbled to the ground, landing on his back.
"Jackass." She hissed and stalked into the temple.
He stared at the sky, blinking and trying to figure out his mistake. This wasn't at all what he meant when he said she could yell at him. She wasn't doing a lot of yelling, in fact she was doing next to none. She was being physical. He'd rather she'd shout. He'd have less bruises. And he didn't know what he'd said or done wrong this time. He struggled to sit up. "What did I do?" He shouted after her.
She stuck her tongue out at him again over her shoulder.
Paine snorted. "I guess not."
Gippal glared at Paine. He could date Rikku if he wanted! Other things were interfering with a formal dating relationship thing, though he was getting to see Rikku in a lot of dresses. "Rikku! Tell me!"
"When you're older!"
