jaebilityRikku and Tidus discussed it at great length, evening asking Lulu for her input, and then came to the conclusion that The Committee of Innocent Bystanders Who Have Been Unjustly and Unkindly Yelled at by the Man Hereforth to be Named Lord of the Jerks (or Lord of the Bastards if the Above Mentionned Man is Not Within Earshot) and Seek Restitution should definately be created and that since the name was too long to memorize, they should call themselves the Maesters of the Society of Awesome.
"I was this close -this close!- to getting some." Tidus whined into the sympathetic ear of Rikku. "There was Yuna, all beautiful and doey eyed. And I lean over and I said, 'You know, I bet it's okay for Summoners to feel emotions other than hope. Like, love, for instance.' And she was gazing up at me and her lips were like -" Tidus groaned and clenched his fists, "Like wow. And then out of nowhere he bursts in and grabs my collar and hauls me out - all right in front of her! - and tells me to start thinking with my head for once."
"Yeah, well," Rikku waved her hand, dismissing his complaints. "You probably weren't gona get anywhere with Yunie anyway. I mean, she's my cousin and all I love and stuff, but she's so big of a prude that she blushes when she sees naked statues. We went to the art musuem in Luca once and I thought she was going to die. Anyway, what Sir High-and-Mighty did to me was tons worse."
"I thought you said he yelled at you for stealing all that crap at that store?"
"Well, yeah, but that was jsut the summary. The real story is much better. Okay, so here I was, minding my own business and attempting to help my most cherished friends and companions by picking us up some potions that were waay too pricey and were just sitting there, asking to be taken. At first I said to myself that we really didn't need any potions, but then the store-clerk-guy opened his big, stupid mouth. 'The Al Bhed got what deserved!' and 'I'm a huge asshole, look how many retarded things I can say!' and stuff like that."
"Hmm," Tidues mused, clearly now intrigued.
"Right. So, I pondered my circumstances and come to a decision. I stuffed a few into my pockets, but there were just too damn many for me to hide. And lo and behold, like a gift from Yevon, was Lord -" Rikku paused and twisted around. Auron was a good ten paces behind them, and he seemed to immensly interested in whatever Lulu was telling him . "-of the Bastards. With his big jacket and pockets of doom. He didn't even notice the few couple of bottles. Just kept being all sullen and unsociable. So I slipped in the last few potions and turned to leave and-"
"He grabbed you on the collar and said something nasty?"
"Well, yeah, kinda, sorta, maybe. Something like that." He had cupped her chin with his big, paw of a hand and told her that if she didn't keep her hands where they belonged, he'd find something to keep them busy. She'd almost asked him what he had in mind, but before she'd had a chance to he had made the mot unreasonable demand: Put them back. He'd made her return all the potions, even when she had explained how rightous her actions had been. And then, when he caught her eyeing the phoenix downs, he'd actually grabbed one of her hands in his and held it. Held it for the rest of the shopping trip.
She didn't actually mind that part, so much. It wasn't that bad. it had been a bit embarrasing at first, being held in place like a child, but it seemed like he... Here was the part that made Rikku pause, even now, hours after the fact. She felt like kinda, sorta, maybe holding her hand like they were on a date. Maybe. Sorta. Kinda. He didn't yank her around, but guided her through the crowded marketplace. And he listened as she listed the many admirable qualities of a very cool-looking hat she had spotted. And then he'd almost let her put it on him. He cradled her hand, Rikku realized, as she stared down at her palm.
"So, then what?" Tidus urged. "Did he make you apologize?"
"Nah, he just said that I should keep my hands in my pockets and keep them out of other people's or else he'd chop them off."
"My story was better," Tidus snorted and crossed his arms over his chest. "I deserve to be the single maester of the Society of Awesome. You can be vice-maester. I guess."
Forgetting her own injustices for the moment, Rikku pictured Tidus' run in with Auron and had to laugh. "Well, he was a monk, you know. Probably had to take a vow against getting any."
"Poor guy," Tidus said with a horrified gasp. "Man, he must have gotten so much shit from my old man. Jecht chased after anything with a breath and boobs."
"In that order?"
Tidus grinned, but it looked pained. "Yep. What a legacy I have to live up to, huh?"
Rikku frowned. "Maybe Auron doesn't want you to turn into Jecht."
"Auron? You mean Lord of the Sticks Up Asses?" Tidus laughed and shook his head. "Nah, he liked my old man, for some reason."
"Still. Just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean you have to approve of everything they do. For example, I like you even though you're dumb and have terrible hair."
He chose to ignore that. "Maybe Lord of the Unfair Scruples would lighten up if he got a taste of the action." He looked meaningfully at Rikku. "You'd be doing us all a favor, you know."
It took her a moment to understand his insinuation. "What?" She took a leap backwards. "Me? Me make-out with Mr Tall, Dark, and Unpleasant? Why would I ever want to do that? I mean, he'd got stubble! I could get stubble-burn! And he's too... Tall! Yeah! How am I gonna reach his lips?"
"Take one for the team, Rikku."
"I was this close -this close!- to getting some." Tidus whined into the sympathetic ear of Rikku. "There was Yuna, all beautiful and doey eyed.
