In The Morning

Rikku always sleeps with her cousin Yunie. Sometimes, she's afraid that Yuna will just get up in the middle of the night and walk to Zanarkand and defeat Sin herself, all by her lonesome, just to keep from worrying anyone. It's a very Yunie type thing to do. So she sleeps with Yuna, and holds her tight tight tight, to protect her from... everything.

Protect her from all those people looking at her with their over bright eyes filled with hope, protect her from the death she's walking into and the disgrace she'll face is she turns back. Rikku loves her cousin with a fierceness that is terrifying in it's intensity. It burns in the pit of her stomach and rises, rises, like Ifrit from the ground, until it feels like her whole body is on fire.

So tonight, they're in this teeny little inn, with barely any room. The boys have one room and the girls have another. Lulu is outside pacing, which she always does when she thinks whatever deep dark mage things she thinks. Kimhari is out there with her, no doubt guarding Yuna.

Rikku would rather be tied to a lightning rod in the middle of the Thunder Planes then admit it, but she sorta-kinda has a crush on Kimhari. He's so... strong, and so graceful, and so big. But he's so gentle, too, and she's felt his soft fur, when he lifted her up. On several nights she's lain awake, one hand wedged between her legs as she attempts to replicate the rush of pleasure from when she was riding that motorcycle, the rattling, rumbling buzz that went through her bones, making her whole body melt.

Yuna cuddles up to Rikku with her warm, soft skin. She makes a soft sleep noise, then moans, very, very quietly. Then She wakes up. "Rikku?"

"Yeah?" Rikku grins at her in the dark. It's hard not to, even if she can't really see anything. Yuna makes her.. happy.

"Did I wake you? I'm sorry." She shifts, moving around to press her forehead against Rikku's. She's more... loose around Rikku, relaxing. She is... affectionate, physically, versus her gentle "hands off" aura she projects in public. It wouldn't do for a Summoner to hug and kiss in public, after all. And because Rikku is Rikku, she goes out of her way to be all... touchy-feely.

Yuna doesn't exactly mind. Rikku is warm and soft, like the stuffed Shoopuf her father gave her, right before he left. Yuna loved it to death, or so it seemed. It is probably still in her room in Besaid, a collection of nothing, really, but rags.

"Nah." Rikku chuckles, running her fingers through Yuna's sleep tousled hair. "Can't sleep anyway."

"Is something troubling you?" Yuna brushes Rikku's hair out of her face.

"Nah." Rikku repeats, burrowing closer into Yuna's warmth. And, well...

Okay, this is really, really embarrassing. More embarrassing then the Kimhari thing. But supposing... Just supposing... She loves Yunie more then is, well, cousin-ish. But it isn't Rikku's fault! It's just...

When Yuna smiles, the little chip in the corner of her front tooth flashes out, all rebellious like. And Yuna's hands are so small, with callouses in funny place 'cause of her Summoner's Wand. And when she laughs, something in Rikku's belly does a somersault.So okay, Rikku has a... thing for Yuna, but that doesn't make her sly! 'cause the sigh of Tidus naked (It was TOTALLY an accident! How was she supposed to know he was taking a bath there?) left her feeling all... funny. So she isn't sly. But there is something very nice about cuddling up to Yunie, smelling that sweet lemony smell. Rikku nuzzles into Yuna's neck, feeling her cousin's pulse against her cheek.

"Rikku..." Yuna pulls her a bit closer, so she is more level with her ear. "I feel a bit... odd."

"Odd how?" Rikku sits up, so that she can look Yuna in the face. If Yuna is admitting to feeling off, she must really feel off.

This time, it is Yuna's turn to press her face into Rikku's neck. Her cheeks are hot to the touch. She mumbles something into Rikku's neck, her warm breath making Rikku's skin do shivery things.

"What was that?" Rikku rubs Yuna's back, her white nightshirt bunching under Rikku's hand. It inches up a bit, so that now Rikku's pinkie finger is brushing bare skin.

"I had a dream..." Yuna mumbles. "It was..." She is blushing harder now. "It made me feel... strange."

"Oh." Rikku swallows, because now she notices that her small breasts are pressed against Yuna's, and Yuna's nipples are hard. "What was in the dream?" Cautiously, she rests her ring finger on the patch of bare skin on Yuna's back.

"I don't remember the... specifics." Yuna mumbles, her head resting on Rikku's shoulder. "But there was, um, someone... touching me."

"Touching you how?" Rikku's middle finger joins it's fellows on the bare skin.

"Gently." Yuna says, shifting. It pushes her breasts against Rikku's.

"Was it... nice?" Rikku ventures. She really wants to kiss Yunie right now, trace that chipped tooth with her tongue. And maybe... maybe, she wants to feel Yuna's breasts, see if they really do fit in the palm of her hand the way she's been kinda-sorta fantasizing.

"Yes." Yuna says, a bit breathlessly. "But I've woken up feeling... funny."

"Where, exactly, do you feel funny? Maybe it's like a muscle cramp or something. I'll help." She grins tentatively, hoping Yuna will accept. Even if it just means giving Yuna a back rub. The chance to feel all that silky skin under her hands...

"My, um..." She places a hand over her left breast, where her heart is beating like a wild thing.

"Here?" Rikku puts her hand on top of Yuna's.

"Yes..." Yuna sighs, removing her own hand and bringing it to Rikku's shoulder.

Cautiously, Rikku cups Yuna's breast. It does fit in the palm of her hand. It is soft and firm at the same time. Cautiously, she squeezes. When Yuna wriggles, she takes it as a good sign. She moves her thumb forward, to press against Yuna's nipple. She did that herself once, and it felt... confusing.

Yuna actually whimpers.

Rikku yanks her hand away. "Sorry, sorry!" She babbles. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Yunie, I'm sorry!"

"It didn't hurt..." Yuna mumbles. Hesitantly, she reaches forward and grasps Rikku's breast through her sleep shirt. She presses down with her thumb a bit clumsily.

Rikku whines, her hips jerking. "Oh..." She manages. It feels slightly less confusing when Yuna does it. "It... doesn't hurt."

Yuna blushes. She thumbs Rikku's nipple again, because the feel of Rikku's breast is sending ticklish tingly things down her back, straight to... She blushes harder.

That's it. Rikku can only take so much... torment. She leans forward and kisses Yuna on the mouth.

It's a sloppy kiss, full of drool and bumped teeth.

Yuna hasn't ever kissed someone like this before. It's wet and messy and exhilarating in an odd way. Almost like summoning and Aeon, as strange as that may sound. The same rush of heat, albeit heat of a slightly different nature. It makes her want to do... something, although she doesn't know what it is she wants to do. This rocking and wriggling seem to be helping, though.

Rikku breaks the kiss, panting, her lips swollen. "Yunie.." She groans. "I need..."

"Yeah." Yuna brings her hand back to Rikku's front, struggling to pull her shirt up and off, leaving Rikku bare from the waist up. Yuna's hands go back to Rikku's breasts, thumbing the hard nipples. "Oh, Shiva, Yunie..."

Then Rikku realizes the unfairness of it all. Yuna has taken off Rikku's shirt and is giving her all of these yummy-delish feelings, while Yuna isn't getting any good feelings at all! So she disentangles her hands and tugs Yuna's shirt up and off, so she can feel along Yuna's chest, over her clavicles (they stick out, 'cause Yunie is kinda skinny), to that spot between her breasts.

Yuna has a pimple between her breasts. The sheer incongruity of it has Rikku laughing. That Yuna, who is so gorgeous and pretty and... perfect has a pimple between her breasts... It makes her more perfect, weirdly enough. Rikku takes Yuna's breast in her hand, squeezing it gently, like a peach. She tugs the nipple, gently, with two fingers.

Yuna moans, tilting her head back. She reaches for Rikku and kisses her again, another wet, clumsy kiss. Their noses bump together in a not-exactly-nice way, but then Rikku squirms closer and her knee pokes between Yuna's legs and there are fireworks going off behind Yuna's eyes. "Do that again!" She gasps.

"Do what again?" Rikku tugs Yuna's nipple again experimentally.

"Your leg." Yuna rocks her hips in an attempt to replicate the feeling.

Rikku cautiously nudges her knee again, grinding it between Yuna's legs.

Yuna groans, then lets go of Rikku's breast. She reaches down between her own legs and presses, presses the place where Rikku's knee grinds, presses down hard. She rocks and rides, trying to get more fireworks. She is rocking and grinding so hard that the bed is squeaking. Then something erupts inside of her, like a fireball, and she shakes and shudders as wave of pleasure washes over her. "Oh, Yevon..." She mumbles, sagging against Rikku.

"Are you... okay?" Rikku asks. Her own... lower regions are tingling and they feel all... wet.

"Yeah." Yuna pants. "That was... wow." She is red faced. Then she looks up at Rikku. "Oh, I'm sorry..." She mumbles. "I didn't do anything for you."

"It's okay." Rikku says. "What just happened?" She thinks it might have been like the motorcycle thing, the shaking, bone melting thing.

"I'm... not sure." Yuna looks shyly at Rikku. "Maybe I can, um, show you?"

"Okay!" Rikku smiles, leaning back to give Yuna room to squirm closer. She makes a quiet "oh" noise when Yuna's knee goes between her legs, and whines when Yuna grinds her knee cautiously.

Yuna thinks Rikku looks like she is... enjoying herself, but not the the extent that it could be. A bit nervously, she brings her hand between them, pressing against Rikku. She feels wetness; Rikku's undergarments are slick with it.

Rikku cries out. "Yeah..." She mumbles, rocking and rolling her hips. "That..." She groans when Yuna's thumb brushes against something and the motorcycle thing is happening again, all shakes and shudders and nummy feelings. She wails, falling against Yuna and holding her tightly. Then she kisses her, sloppily, her slightly damp fingers combing through Yuna's messy hair.

Yuna kissed Rikku back, then jumped as the door opened. A bar of light from outside falls on the two of them, and Kimhari stares at the two wide eyed teenagers. "Rikku hurt?" He inquires in that deep, slow voice of his.

"Uh..." Rikku is blushing bright red, still holding Yuna.

Wakka comes running over, looking sleep tousled and worried. "Is everything okay? I heard a scream and holy Yevon..." He put a hand over his mouth.

"We're, um, fine." Yuna mumbles. "You can go back to bed."

Wakka snorts. He'll have to talk to Lulu. "You girls, uh, sleep well, ya?"

"We will!" Yuna says.

The door closes, and Rikku sighs and leans in for another kiss.

Yuna gladly gives it. She'll figure out all of it in the morning.
