Hi everybody! Sorry for the really long wait, I had a very very busy month thus far. First, I had my finals week, which, as we all know, requires great amounts of studying periods; second, my boyfriend's computer broke and I saved his ass by letting him borrow my laptop; and third, I'M RE-PLAYING FFX AND FFX-2! Well, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! =)
Also! Special thanks to Danko Kaji for giving the time to write those thoughtful reviews and sticking around! =)
P.S. the POV tends to shift a lot in this story, specifically between Yuna, Tidus, and Baralai, in this particular order!
P.P.S I'm actually planning on writing another story for the summer. I'm honestly hoping I can balance these two, but I virtually do not having anything to do for these next three months of freedom, and I was thinking "might as well!"
Well, I'll stop blabbering about now, happy reading! =)
Of Blitz Stars & Praetors
Chapter Two: Blue & Green
Tidus
I couldn't help myself when Gippal showed me off to his new friend.
If he had some type of scheme to get in her pants, all the type of luck he had has completely gone away.
She was curvy, long-legged, sexy, and what makes her even better - a virgin, a prude, a chastity-belt wearer.
Yuna, she said her name was. It was a familiar name but I couldn't put my finger on it, so I took matters into my own hands.
"Yuna," I trailed off and leaned a little bit closer to her, "have I met you before?"
She seemed taken aback and leaned the opposite direction, recreating the previous distance between us.
"U-uh, not that I know of." In a matter of seconds, a faint blush showed on her cheeks, completely reinstating my previous observations of her.
"Hm. Odd," I shrugged my shoulders and rubbed the back of my neck with one of my hands before I leaned in even closer to her, to a point where I knew she was able to feel my breath on her lips, "I guess it just proves that we should get to know each other even more."
The faint blush on her cheeks got even redder and her eyes immediately averted to the hardwood floor below our feet.
"How long are you planning on staying?" I asked, her eyes still focused on the floor.
"Not sure." Yuna answered abruptly.
She may be even holier than Yevon himself.
"Well, maybe until then, you and I can-"
"Ti," Gippal, who I completely forgot was standing there, interrupted, "Yuna here is sort of looking for her lost friend."
"Oh," I discreetly shot a sneer to Gippal, I mean, that shit isn't important at times like these, "well, what's her name?"
Like that matters.
"U-uh, oh! I think I saw her heading up the stairs, see you guys later! Nice meeting you guys, by the way!" Yuna hurriedly ran into the crowd, leaving Gippal and I dumbfounded.
"What's up her ass?" Gippal asked, just as confused as I was.
I opened my mouth and was about to reply with what I believed was a very witty response, but Gippal beat me to it.
"No Ti, don't say it, man." Gippal looked at me with a smirk and shook his head in amusement.
"Hey, ya gotta admit that it would've been pretty creative." I shrugged my shoulders and gave him one of my cheeky smiles before I stalked off into the crowd of people.
. . .
On most days the sun is my best friend. The sun being out and about gives me the chance to Blitz, Blitz, and most importantly, Blitz.
But, today, the sun was an asshole.
I was sleeping pretty comfortably on my bed when the sun decided to stop by early in the morning and say hello, ask how the party went last night, and ask how hungover I was.
Immediately, I closed the blinds and went back to my bed to find long, black hair splayed out on my pillow and a chick laying on the other side of the bed with my comforter covering only up to her boobs.
Her clothes were spread everywhere and mine were nowhere to be found.
I looked at the clock to see that it was past noon.
Ugh. I gotta get this chick out before Rikku gets back.
However, that thought went away when I stepped outside my room to find Rikku frantically walking around in circles in the hallway.
"OUI!" She pointed at me once she saw me and then ran up to me.
"Did you have another one of your crazy parties again last night?!"
Rikku seemed infuriated and I hoped that she wasn't having those days of the month.
"Uh," I was hoping that a horny couple didn't barge into her room last night because I thought I had locked it up pretty well, "what of it?"
"Did you see my stuff here somewhere? I had somebody drop it off last night and apparently it got stolen." Rikku had her hands on her hips and was shaking her head in frustration.
I was shirtless and only in my boxers, making the moment even more awkward than it should be.
"Rik, I was downstairs the whole night, I have no clue who-"
Rikku interrupted me with one of her long sighs and just walked into her room. Once she slammed her bedroom door, I ran back into my room and shook the chick awake.
The girl woke up with a coy smile on her face, "Ready for more?"
I just shook my head and shooed her off, "Get dressed. You have to leave. Now."
The chick rolled her eyes and got out of the bed, what the blankets covered now fully exposed to me.
"Wait. Hold up." I stood up from my spot and locked my door, turning around to see a full-fledged smirk on her face.
Maybe one more round won't hurt.
. . .
Gippal, Chappu, and I were coming back from training at the lousy Blitz arena Bevelle had.
I was driving while Gippal was in the passenger seat and Chappu was in the back.
Chappu was also on the Abes with Gip and I, and he's also one of my best buddies.
Our coach, Wakka, was his older brother, so Chappu got the easy way into the team. But, that didn't stop Chappu from being one of the best Blitzers on the team - behind me, of course.
"So how do ya like it in Bevelle so far, Ti?" Gippal asked me as he looked out the car window, somewhat amazed by how Bevelle looked at night.
I gotta admit, Bevelle is pretty at night, but-
"It's a shithole, dude," I shook my head for emphasis, "nothing beats Zanarkand."
"Of course, Zanarkand's the city that never sleeps, ya?" Chappu quipped from the backseat.
"Look at the damn Blitz arena! I mean, Besaid has a bigger one and the island of Besaid is the size of the arena back at home," I sighed as I had to step on the brake, again," damn, how many fucking traffic lights do they have per block?"
Back in Zanarkand, there were hardly any stoplights. The speed limit in the streets is at least 60. Living in Zanarkand was like living life on the edge. Here in Bevelle, however, was like living life in a kid's playpen.
"Why'd you come here then?" Gippal asked, his eyebrows furrowed, "You're 20 and you make enough money to live on your own."
"Cid's real important to me and I owe him a lot," I replied, my eyes completely focused on the road, "my mom only cares for me 'cuz she knows I'm gonna be as big as my old man someday - most likely even bigger. From acting like she actually cares for me, she knows that she'll get to have a great share of the money I get. But Cid, he's not even my real dad, but, he takes care of me like I'm his actual son. So, whatever Cid says, goes."
"Good man, ya?" Chappu nodded his head.
"Fucking finally!" I uttered out in relief when I entered into my neighborhood, "All those stoplights were killing me!"
I was about to pull into the driveway when I found an unfamiliar car on my spot.
"Whose fucking car is this?" I fumed. It was a cherry red Mustang and it surely wasn't mine, Cid's, or Rikku's.
Then an idea popped in my head, it was probably Rikku's boyfriend's. The suggestion to key it came into my thoughts but I just pushed it to the back of my head and parked by the sidewalk curb.
"Nice car, though," Gippal raised his eyebrows and whistled as we walked by it, "the machina used to build that car is amazing."
We walked into my house and just dumped our stuff on the floor by the doorway.
"RIKKU!" I yelled out. Nobody takes my parking spot, especially in my own home.
"Shit." I heard her attempting to cuss subtlety from upstairs, however, she came running downstairs in just her sports bra and spandex shorts, "What?"
When she saw Gippal and Chappu standing right behind me, she immediately blushed. I could almost hear Gippal and Chappu drooling over her.
But I knew just as well what she was doing with her little boyfriend.
"What the hell are you doing?" I bluntly asked her.
"Yoga." She nonchalantly shrugged and leaned against the staircase railing.
"Yeah right," I snorted and crossed my arms over my chest, "tell your little friend to move his car somewhere else, 'cuz he inconveniently parked on my spot in the driveway."
Rikku rolled her eyes and retreated upstairs, grumbling, "Yeah, sure, whatever."
"She your sister?" Gippal asked, a small smirk on his face.
"Yep," I replied, popping the 'p', "well, she's my half-sister, and she's got a boyfriend so don't get any ideas."
We sat on the couches by the staircase and turned on the S.V. to watch some college Blitz.
"So how many of these guys do ya think would actually get drafted?" Gippal asked as we watched one of the guys from the University of Zanarkand score a goal against Kilika University.
"As long as you're from Zanarkand, the probability is higher than any other team," I answered, which was very factual, it happened to me, right when I got out of high school and I didn't even have to go to college, "I mean, some of those guys are older than us and they still haven't even gotten drafted yet. So basically, most of these guys' hopes are down the drain."
"Rough life for them." Chappu shook his head in sympathy but kept his eyes on the screen.
"That guy that scored the goal is probably getting drafted into the Abes by next year, I remember Wakka said so," I recalled from seeing his name on the screen, "if his name is Beclem then that's him, alright."
The three of us were focused on the game when out of nowhere, Rikku's music got louder than normal.
I tried turning up the volume of the S.V. but Rikku's girly music still overpowered it.
"Fucking shit," I muttered to myself out loud before yelling, "RIKKU!"
After 10 minutes, I heard the volume turn down a little bit and the door to Rikku's room creak open. After that, the sound of soft footsteps coming from upstairs caused me to look over at the staircase.
There was Yuna walking steadily behind Rikku in just a zip up hoodie and her bikini bottoms and flip flops. It wasn't much but her long, creamy legs were out on display, and not to forget her plump rear. My eyes were glued onto it as she walked by. I watched as her long legs stopped by the door and I took the opportunity to check out her entire body. The only thing that would make those legs of her even sexier would be when they're wrapped around my-
"Tell Pops that Yunie and I are gonna go head to the beach." Rikku interrupted my thoughts, looked back at me and then headed out the door before I could question her.
Right when I heard Yuna's car start up and back out of the driveway, I flipped off the S.V.
Gippal and Chappu looked back at me with a confused look on their faces.
"College blitz is getting boring," I yawned and stood up to stretch before I gave them a mischievous smile, "you guys up for a late night swim?"
