Chapter 1

A little bit of magic

It was a glorious night to watch the stars shoot out of the sky. They were everywhere, as far as eyes could reach. The most fantastic - stunning place was Zanarkand. Because when you had climbed all the stairs and taken all the elevators, you came out in the open air, high up from the ground. You could see the collection of stars and even catch a glimpse of the planets far, far away. No one could tell why there was light coming from the ground on such a black night, but nobody cared. Nobody would.

This was the place Yunalesca was defeated on two years ago, and Yuna and Tidus were both pretty sure they would not see her again.

Are you okay? Yuna asked Tidus, who were standing next to her. She wanted to look him in his deep, blue eyes but he didn't even flinch. She felt a bit rejected. This should be a moment of joy and happiness, a romantic evening between the two of them! Instead, it had been quiet night and neither of them had talked, except for the big welcoming-home- thing. They were all alone now. Not even the monkeys were there on this beautiful scene. Poor bastards, Yuna thought in all her humour. That was all that she could find funny, now that her love were moping around…

… I love you, Tidus said in a very quiet voice, with eyes closed, just enough for Yuna to hear.

Wha…? Was all she managed to stammer, surprised over the sudden emotion that came out from nowhere.

I love you, okay? He practically screamed. I've loved you since day one on that fucking pilgrimage. Everything was so messed up and I didn't understand shit! But I felt a bond between us. I'm in love with you, Yuna! I love you… I don't want to fade away… he looked down on the ground and only seconds later, his knees connected with the ground. His bangs fell purposely in his face, to cover his tear building eyes. He didn't want to show his feelings to her like this but he couldn't help it. His old man was right, he was such a crybaby! He could hear her walk closer and closer to him, and he saw through his tear-stained eyes that she bent down.

I-

Shhhhhh, she whispered, and put her finger on his mouth to stop him from talking. I love you too; nothing could take you away from me. The faith can never destroy our bond, because it never disappeared when we were away from each other. Her hands moved slightly to cup his cheek, and to dry his tears away.

And you're such a crybaby, you know that, she asked with huge grin, plastered onto her angelic face.

He didn't find the right words to say, but he didn't need to, since her lips quickly found his. It was not a heavy and forceful kiss, but it was filled with passion, and just as breathtaking.

When they broke the kiss Tidus found himself grinning to the whole situation and she giggled a little.

I feel like a little girl, he said.

Like my little girl, she laughed, and he tuned in with her.

Then they both sat there and looked up at the sky with the teeny, tiny sparkling stars. He found everything very beautiful, especially her. She seemed to have gotten taller during the years he was away and he didn't think they were on the same page anymore.

Literally.

He didn't really know what had happened in Spira while he was away and he had a lot to catch up to do. For example, he was curious about her new stile. She seemed to have changed a lot.

He found himself looking at her long and slender legs and following her every curve from her thighs and to her chest. Then up to her eyes. Her mismatched eyes. But he decided to leave these thoughts for another time, if he could.

Let's go home, he said with a little more serious tone.

She simply nodded, happy and perfectly content with him calling it home. They both wanted to get back to Besaid at this late hour.

They didn't have to walk far to get to crystalline sphere that would teleport them back to the airship. When the sphere was in front of them they both looked at eachother. Yuna broke the eye-contact a while later, not really knowing what to say in this particular moment. Tidus didn't really know what to say either, but words seemed to be useless.

He moved closer to her and carefully took her hand, and then he bent down to touch the lightblue sphere. A cloud embraced them and soon everything went white.

To be inside this sphere, this cloud was a sensation compared to none. It was a scary, as well as intriguing, and an exciting feeling. It was a rush. But it never lasted long, because soon they would be on the airship. In seconds the cloud disappeared, leaving a clear sight.

In this case, the clear sight would be Rikku lying on the floor, obviously not awake and aware of the fact that the floor wasn't clean. You could trace the drool falling slowly from her open mouth. Brother was lying next to her in a strange position, sprawled on the ground. He had one of his hands inside his pants and it was easy to see the puddle of saliva.

That sure is a sight to see, Tidus said with a shrug.

So you're finally back, kiddos? They didn't notice Cid sneaking up behind them, with his usual trademark scowl. Don't mind these idiots, they were out searching for you, and when they couldn't find you they panicked and bumped into eachother. But now they're just asleep. Those two do no good here, eh? He said and shook his head.

Good to see you, Cid, Tidus exclaimed. Cid simply shook his head one more time. Inside he was glad that he had returned. For the sake of Yuna.

Could you give us a ride to Besaid? She asked.

Not right now, kid. The engines are already off, he said with a shrug. Take it tomorrow. Go to bed and don't bother me.

Anyone who didn't know Cid would take this as an insult but both Tidus and Yuna knew better. He only meant well.

Yuna told Tidus that he could sleep at the inn, since she slept in another room shared with Rikku and Paine. She followed him to the inn to make sure he went the right direction. But she also wanted to be with him.

I'll see you tomorrow okay? She worked up a smile, even if she didn't want to be apart from him.

Suddenly his lips were on hers. When did he become so quick? He broke the kiss not to long after, and moved his hand to her cheek.

Okay, he said. Then he pulled her into a tight embrace and whispered good-night. She could only say the same to him and return the hug.

After watching him walk up to the stairs, she turned around to walk to her own bed. She was exhausted! A good night's sleep would do me good, she thought. When she fell asleep, all the lights went out. Everybody was drifting away from consciousness.

But they would wake up soon, to a brand new day.

*phew* that was long! It got very corny; exactly the way I didn't want it to be! Aarrgh!

Sorry I made Tidus so silly, with the crying and all that, but he have always been a crybaby, so I thought; why not?

Thanks for those who review; you all know who you are. You make my day3

Next chapter is going to be about Leblanc, I hope you'll enjoy!

Love to y'all3
