Pre-face

At first the touching seemed more than innocent, just a brush of his hand as he walks by, a bump of shoulders, or catching her when she stumbled. Nothing too crazy for her to register that every touch was more then he lead on.

Rolling over so she laid on her stomach, she watched his muscled back rise and fall with the evenness of his gentle breath. She felt a little sick, not quite able to believe what was going on- not really being able to wrap her mind around the thought of what this was, and what they were doing. She gave a deep sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose. She watched the night sky clear and dark, no stars or moon were out shining tonight, it made Rikku feel so tiny. Slowly reaching out her slender fingers she traced the scares that riddled his back. Three long white gnarly scares went from his left shoulder to his right hip, tiny circular ones were everywhere from Sinspawn that latched on. Fresh wounds were healing over slowly. His skin seemed even darker next to her milky white skin, or maybe it was the other way around and he was so dark that she seemed so white. With a small smile on her lips she reached over to give his shoulder a light kiss, before she snuggled close into him waiting for sleep to overcome her.

Rikku woke to Auron stoking her hair softly – her blurry eyes made out the shadow of him silhouetted by the pinking sky, dawn was coming and she must return to her own bed so no one would know how they spent their nights. Groaning she rubbed her eyes attempting to roll back over for sleep. She knew she could not really curl up to Auron and go back to bed, but she did ache too and wanted to indulge in the fantasy just a moment longer.

"No" his gruff voiced whispered into her ear, causing her to squirm she was ticklish and his breath on her ear was no good. She rolled back so she faced him, a sleepy smile on her lips. "Rikku you have to get up, it's late already" she sat up and rested her forehead on his chest and groaned.

"But I don't want to!" she huffed "I want to stay here" he stoked her hair once more, she leaned into his touch feeling her spine shiver, and breathed in his smell. "Fine…" she muttered under her breath she hated that he didn't have to do anything and she would do whatever he wanted. But if he wanted her to move faster he had to give her what she wanted, lifting herself away from him, she straightened and pointed to her lips. It was time to pay toll. He gave a rough chuckle, before he leaned in and gave her the smallest kiss he could. Rikku narrowed her eyes "Fail." She whispered before getting up to return to her own bed, she was already thinking of ways she could punish him for that sad excuse of a kiss.
