A/N: Hey people's! Just going through and doing a good old fashioned edit as I was reading through this the other day and realized that it needs some serious fixing up! I would also just like to point out that thiswas my first ever story, so don't criticize me too much :P So I hope that everyone will enjoy the new and improved version of "Please Tell Me"!
Please Tell Me: Chapter 1
Found Out
Yuna stood there alone in the chamber of the Fayth inside the Bevelle temple and began to wonder just what it was that he was hiding. Now that she would not have to go through the Final Summoning, she had begun to make her plans for what she would do with her life after they defeated Sin. Her plans with him. Their story. But, she had a horrible sinking feeling in her heart that what ever it was that Tiduswas keeping from her was going to put her plans in ruin. As she stepped out of the chamber, there was an awkward silence that had filled the room. Yuna looked around to find out just what everybody was doing. Kimahri was standing silently still as always, Sir Auron was leaning up against the wall with his sword beside him and Wakka and Lulu were standing looking at her. As she met their gaze, she lifted her head and smiled weakly. They smiled back. Rikku stood their looking rather angry. As Yuna would soon find out, Rikku was upset because she had wanted to in to the chamber with the other two, but Auron stopped her. He told her that "They must work this problem out by themselves."
Then when she looked over hisway, she saw him faced away with his head to the floor. Yuna knew immediately that he was thinking about whatever the Fayth had said to him earlier.
'I wonder what-'
Yuna's thoughts were soon interrupted by a very impatient Rikku, who had just about screamed "Are we done here or what?"
"Well we are now," Auron spoke calmly with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
At that Rikku walked off in a huff and everybody else followed. Yuna followed as well not really paying much attention to where her feet were taking her. She was to busy trying to think back through everything the Fayth had said to them, trying to find some hint of what Tidus might be keeping from her.
It wasn't until they were walking up the platform to board the airship that something clicked together in her mind and she stopped in her tracks. It was one of the last things that the Fayth has said to them. "But you know when it is all over, we will wake and our dream will end." She knew that this sentence wasn't directed towards her, it was directly completely to him. But what did it mean? Why would he not tell her what it was?
'Maybe it was just because he didn't want to say anything while the Fayth…'
"Yuna!"
She snapped her head up in surprise and saw Lulu standing there. "We can't go anywhere if you're standing there!" Yuna looked down at her feet and realized that she was standing in the middle of the entrance platform to the airship, delaying their flight. "Sorry!" She said quickly as she ran as fast as she could up the stairs. It was then that she saw, he was heading up towards the deck. She stood there for a moment pondering what to do. "I'll just ask him" Yuna mumbled to herself so quietly nobody could hear. So she began to follow.
When Yuna arrived up on deck, she saw that Tidus was looking out over the horizon. As if nothing else was around him but air. He didn't even seem to notice that she had arrived. She slowly began to approach him; she wasn't entirely sure just how she was going to ask. Yuna stopped up beside the blonde blitzer, choosing her words carefully. For a short minute she stood there, scanning the clouds trying to look as if she was amazed by them when, really, she was still trying to figure out how to start talking to him.
'What should I do?'
But just before Yuna was about to say something, he interrupted. "Nice out here isn't it?"
Yuna looked at him for a moment. As if stunned by the fact that he actually had said something. Then she replied "Yeah it is."
She knew that if her question was going to be answered the way she wanted it to be then she would have to just ask him outright. Even if it hurt him to think about it, it would hurt her even more if something happened to him. "When the Fayth said that the dream will vanish, what did he mean?"
He looked at her then, well aware of what she was talking about now and the reasons he came up here in the first place. He sensed a tremble in her voice, as if she felt she didn't have the right to ask. But he knew couldn't tell her the truth, it would crush her. "Ummm…oh that…ummm…ahhhhhh it was nothing.
Yuna knew straight away he was obviously hiding something. "Why can't you tell me? Do you not trust me? I know you're hiding something!" Yuna at this point was struggling to repress her feelings of anger and anxiety as they quelled up inside her. But, they were becoming evident to her guardian, who could see that what he was keeping from her was really beginning to upsetting her. But if he told her…
"Its not that I don't want to tell you Yuna, it's just that…I can't."
At this point, Yuna didn't bother anymore trying to suppress her feelings. "Why not, I know something bad is going to happen to you, or someone else I know so why can't you just tell me!" She was angry. But it disappeared in an instant as Yuna moved so fast he couldn't keep track of her. Before Tidus actually knew anything there she was with her arms around his neck, and her face buried in his chest. Now sobbing, he could just make out her words. "Please tell me, I don't want you to go". Instead of raising his arms around her waist he just stood there, Yuna crying hard into his chest. There was nothing he could do. If he told her, he knew she would break down. But he had to do something. He knew she wouldn't focus on anything else until Yuna knew exactly what was going on.
He gently tried to pull Yuna away from his chest to see her face, but the instant he began to move, she immediately began to hold on even tighter around his neck. He tried talking to her, but he was again interrupted. "NO!" At this he snapped his arms away, and just stood there for a minute. His shirt was wet now from all of Yuna's crying. He decided just to give her a big hug, and hoped that would calm her down. It did. Within a few minutes she had stopped sobbing altogether. She still looked miserable he saw, but at least now she was still. As Yuna wiped away her tears, he saw this as a perfect opportunity to get out of having to explain himself.
"Come on, the others are probably wondering where we've gone off too." And before Yuna had even the slightest chance to recover, she was suddenly pulled along, and was back at the bridge before she realized even what was happening.
Before she could even ask him again, she felt every pair of eyes in the room fall on her. But she didn't look up. All she did was look at Tidus, who was trying to avoid eye contact with Yuna it seemed, at all costs. Then, all of a sudden, she had a jumpy blonde in her face. But Yuna didn't pay any attention to her. Instead, she bluntly stated to everyone in the room "I'm going to lie down," and with that walked back down the bridge and into the elevator.
Everyone stood one the bride in complete bewilderment. Soon, he realized, everybody's eyes were on him, and an uncomfortable silence began to fill the room.
It was quickly broken though, when Rikku walked up to him. "What's wrong with her?"
Lulu also spoke, but with a lot more curiosity evident in her voice. "She seemed quite upset, what happened between you too?"
Now, he was in trouble. He couldn't very well explain anything because that would lead to more questions being asked. "Nothing happened," he said unenthusiastically. Of course nobody believed him, but just like before, when they tried to ask him another question, he was gone- already heading down the towards the end of the ship.
Unfortunately, he wasn't looking where he was going and ran into Kimahri. "Sorry Kimahri" He said apologetically. Kimahri didn't seem to take any notice of what he just said, looked down at him and spoke. "Yuna look upset, Kimahri worried. Maybe you should talk to her, Yuna like you, Kimahri knows this."
At first, he was quite shocked at what Kimhari just said. Everybody seemed to know that he and Yuna liked each other. Unfortunately though, at this point, he was beginning to think that Yuna didn't like him at all anymore. He knew that he must go and see her, even though he didn't really want to. "Okay Kimahri, I'll go and check up on her for you," His voice was shaky, but he tried to project as much confidence into it as he could. "Kimahri glad," the young Ronso said straight away. And with that the young blitzer set of down the hallway towards the summoner's room.
As he got closer and closer, he noticed that the sobbing coming from within Yuna's bed chamber had begun to intensify. He stood just outside the closed door for a few minutes to gather his courage. He then stepped into her room. At first it was almost like she didn't even notice. He knew that he had to calm her down. She was absolutely hysterical. He approached her bed, and put a hand on her shoulder. In almost an instant, she turned around and buried her face in bottom of his shirt, and cried even harder. He bent down to reach her height, put one hand on the back of her neck under her dusty brown locks and another around her back. When she finally began to calm down several minutes later, he tried to look her in the eye but wherever he looked, she would only avert his gaze. "Yuna, please…" He begged her. She looked at him finally, her face completely soaked with tears. He began to speak, "Yuna I…." He didn't know what to say. She didn't say anything. Yuna kept her eyes locked on his, waiting to hear an answer she knew she would probably never get. She so badly just wanted him to say that it was something completely different, and that the only reason he didn't tell her was because he didn't want her to worry….or something like that. He knelt there, unable to come up with anything to say, because he knew, there was nothing he could say. Finally though, he tried to speak, his voice shaky with guilt. "Yuna, I'm sorry I…I didn't mean to make you upset. It's just that, I didn't want to tell you my problem because I knew that it would just trouble you even more.
Yuna's gaze flew up and connected with his, waiting desperately for him to continue. "But I suppose if you want to know I could tell you…" Yuna bit her lip anxiously, waiting for his answer to the question that had been tormenting her all this time. "It's stupid…I…I…really just don't want to go through with this because it means…it means…I have to kill my father. He looked up at her face, waiting to see if she had accepted his rather big lie. It was actually quite hard to tell. Yuna searched his face then for a minute then smiled.
"Okay," she begun to stand up, when he pulled her back down where she once knelt. She stayed there for a minute, and again looked at him with a mixture of both happiness and sadness evident in her eyes. He lent in to kiss her, and she accepted it gratefully, pouring every ounce of passion, love and energy she hadn't used up on crying into it. He responded, and did the same. He hoped that this would put any fears she had away…for the time being at least.
So there it is folks. Like I said before, I think this scene could have quite interesting had it developed further. I try to keep my stories as realistic as possible, so tell me if you think that the characters are out of…well character. I wrote this story on the basis that if someone you cared about a lot was going to get hurt or oh….I…don't…know…….DIE, wouldn't you try and find out why? Call me crazy people but that's what I would do anyway. Anywayz, please tell me what you guys think, and don't flame me…its so discouraging…….(starts crying) But you can tell me what to improve. I really don't know what I think of this story or whether to keep it going. I'll keep it a one hot for the time being and wait and see what you guys think. Whatever, so please review! (gets down on knees) I BEG YOU, PLEASE REVIEW!
