The wind blew through my hair as I sat on the deck of the Celsius. This
is when I usually trained, but there was a thousand things occupying my
mind at the moment. You know, things like where our next mission was
going to be and who were we going to meet that Yuna's met on her earlier
travels as a summoner.
But there was one thing that stood out in my mind. A young, blonde thief
by the name of Rikku. I don't know why, but lately I haven't been able
to get her out of my head for the last couple of days. It's weird. All
the things she does, like call me Dr. P and the way she is so energetic,
it's usually the stuff I'd hate a person for, but with Rikku, I find it.
Well. Kind of adorable actually, but I can't let her know that.
This might have started a week ago in Besaid, when Yuna and Rikku
decided to check up on Lulu and Wakka. I didn't want to go because there
was other things I wanted to do, but Rikku begged me to go and gave me
the cutest smile in the world. "Cute"? Did I just use the word "cute"?
Anyway, I went, but it might have been the biggest mistake of my life. I
can't remember a time when I embarrassed my self so much!
-A week earlier in Besaid Village-
"Hey look who it is, yah?" Wakka said in his island accent.
"Whatsamatta? Forgot something from your last visit?"
"Do we need a reason to visit our favourite Blitzball player?" Rikku
said so sweetly. Yuna cleared her throat which got Rikku's attention.
"Sorry. Me and Paine's favourite Blitzball player!"
That's right, I forgot Yuna's blonde-surfer dude used to be a Blitzball
player. She kept telling us about him. It was like a broken record where
we had to listen to it over and over again! I mean, c'mon! I can only
take so much! Anyway, after we met up with Wakka we decided to see where
Lulu was at. Lulu looked happy to see we were there. She greeted us with
a friendly. "How have you all been?" Yuna and Rikku said they were ok
but I had something else to say.
"Drec ec y lusbmada fycda uv so desa!" I said in a low mumbling voice. I
learned how to speak Al Bhed a long time ago and I used it whenever I
didn't want people to know what I was saying.
Unfortunately, Rikku heard me a replied with a quick, "Cdub paehk cilr y
byndo buuban Painey!" I rolled my eyes at hearing this. Me? A party
pooper? It's not like I've never been called that in my life. Still it
was weird that she called me "Painey". I blushed a bit at hearing her
call me this but stopped before anyone noticed.
Lulu took Yuna aside and started talking to her. Yuna came back and said
to Rikku and I, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave for a little while."
Then Lulu escorted Yuna out of the hut.
I just stood there, wondering what I should do with the time between now
and the time when Yuna returned. But I suddenly felt like someone was
staring at me. So I turned around and there she was. Rikku was looking
at me with a smirk. What's she up to? I thought to myself. Rikku walked
up to me and batted her eyes. I started feeling weird inside, but I just
shook it off and asked, "What?" in my usual monotone voice.
Rikku gave me that smile again. That cute one that convinced me to come
to this stupid island in the first place! Then she said, "You wanna do
something while we wait for Yunie?" I was now officially intrigued.
"What kind of something?" I asked without sounding like I was
interested. Then, she started doing the strangest things.
She walked up even closer to me with a seductive look in her eyes. I
fought back a blush. Then, she put her arms around my neck and got even
closer to my face. It was harder, but I managed to stop a larger, second
blush. But, then she brought her lips up to my ears as if she was going
to whisper something. Now, there was no way my face could have been its
normal colour at this point. It must have been the deepest shade of red.
And then she whispered the thing that started my bad experience on that
island that fateful day.
I thought is was going to be something romantic or sexy but she
whispered, "We could go exploring for spheres?" Spheres?. Spheres?!? Is
that what she wanted to tell me. I pushed her down, trying to make sure
I didn't hurt her, and she started laughing.
"Is THAT seriously what you want to do? I'm serious, it's." but before I
could finish my sentence she cut me off and completed it for me.
"What is it 'hurt time'?" she said with a chuckle. Now my face was red
with anger, but I knew I couldn't hurt the beautiful, innocent face in
front of me.
"You just lost like one-hundred respect points!" I said trying to sound
as angry as I could.
"Why?" She tilted her head and looked at me. I knew she knew why but I
thought I'd just play along.
"You put on that whole sex and show and all you want to do is look for
spheres! That's why Rikku, that's why." My monotone voice just came back
before saying this so I was lucky.
She looked at me a blushed slightly. "Are you just mad because I didn't
suggest something more exciting or romantic?" She got me, but I wasn't
about to tell her that. Luckily for me, I was the smart one!
"Hell no! I just don't like being led on, alright!" I said. I think
that'll do for now. I thought to myself. Oh, but how wrong was I?
She replied with, "So you were expecting something more romantic!" I
blushed but turned away from her before she could notice.
I shook my head to add effect to what I was about to say. "I swear, I
don't know why I hang around with you Rikku. Every time I talk to you,
you always somehow twist my words around and make me look like a
complete a**!" Then she did something that may have confirmed my
feelings for her.
She hugged me from behind. "Aw, come on Dr. P! Don't be like that!" I
decided to turn around and look at the young Al Bhed girl. Her eyes were
shimmering a beautiful emerald colour. When I looked into them I
couldn't help but smile softly. I then returned the hug. And she then
started whispering in my ear while bringing me closer to her with the
hug. "We could always do something else." I couldn't believe what I was
hearing! Was Rikku actually coming on to me! Whatever it was, I couldn't
help but liking it!
I looked into her eyes again. She actually wasn't trying to make me look
like a fool, but she actually had feeling for me, I could see it in her
eyes. She moved her lips closer to mine and I did the same. Just before
we met in that beautiful kiss, she must have tripped or something
because she fell right on top of me.
"Oh my God, oh my God! Paine, I am so sorry!" She said as she got off of
me.
I brushed off some dust that had gotten on me when we fell. I sighed and
said, "Rikku, oui lmisco vuum!" with a chuckle in my voice.
She stuck her tongue out at me and said, "You big meanie! That's not
very nice." Just then, Lulu and Yuna walked in. I still that the gods
that Rikku tripped before they came. We decided to leave shortly after.
-Present day on the Celsius-
So that's what happened and that's why I can't stop thinking about
Rikku! I still smile every time I think about that day on Besaid Isle.
The elevator door opened and Rikku came running out and gave me a big
hug. I pretended like I didn't enjoy it and tried to fight her off.
"Heya Dr. P! Whatcha up to up here all alone?"
"I don't know. I was just thinking about what we did on Besaid a week
ago." I said in my usual monotone voice. She smiled at me.
"Awww! You still think about that!" She started blushing. Then she
started whispering in my ear. "It's kinda sad we couldn't finish what we
started!"
"What are you saying?" I really didn't know what she was saying. I
finally understood when she softly brushed her lips against my cheeks. I
blushes deeply and she continued talking.
"Ever since that day, I couldn't get you out of my head. That day when
we almost kissed I found out how I truly feel about you." she said with
a blush. I pretended I didn't care but I was hanging on to every word as
if my life depended on it. She continued, "Paine. E muja oui!" I looked
up almost immediately!
"What!?!" I said right away. I couldn't believe she just said that, but
she went on.
"I love you Paine! I love you now and I always will!" Rikku said with a
deep blush.
She got closer to me and put her arms around my waist, but I didn't
notice because her words kept re-playing in my head. I love you. I love
you. I love you. I looked at her and she looked right back with the same
seductive look like in Besaid. Our faces came closer together until we
finally came together in that sweet, sweet kiss. It started out soft and
gentle. But it eventually got deeper and more passionate. Rikku ran her
tongue over my lip wanting to get in, and I was more than happy to let
her. The sensation of her running her tongue over mine was amazing. I
never felt anything like it! I didn't want it to stop.
But Rikku had to break away for air. Before we continued though, she
just stared at me with those big, beautiful green eyes of hers. I knew
why. She was waiting for me to say something. I looked at her and
managed a soft smile. "Rikku, for the longest time I didn't know how I
felt about you. But now. I can't believe I'm just figuring this out now!
I love you too Rikku! E muja oui!" I said in a voice I've never used
before, a sort of soft and nurturing voice.
She looked at me with a warm smile and I couldn't help smile back. She
kissed me again but this time it was more gentle and loving. When she
was finished, she walked over to the elevator. She looked back at me and
smiled. It wasn't like a warm friendly smile either. It was the smile
from before our trip and the one on Besaid. This could only mean one
thing.
"I remember that smile." I said to the young Al Bhed girl. "That smile
always means that you want me to do something." She smiled deviously at
me.
She replied with, "Why don't you follow me and you'll find out, silly!"
And so I did. And all I have to say is.
That was the best night I ever had!
