Title: Possibilities
Fandom: FFX
Characters/Pairings: Rikku/Tidus, implied Tidus/Yuna
Rating: SFW
Notes: For the Kissing Battle. The request was for Tidus/Rikku, but this was the best I could do at the time - despite the fact that I loved their relationship and agree with Rikku that if you-know-who hadn't decided to play matchmaker, they could've been a cute couple.

---

Yuna and Tidus have that fantastic sort of relationship, you know? Rikku might not know much about dating and she might not've had the chance to get that much practice, but she knows happy when she sees it. She knows what it looks like when two people are together, together together, when they're so totally with each other that they don't care about showing the rest of the world. Why would they care? The world can't do anything to change them anyway.

Rikku doesn't want to come between them either - sure, she feels this sort of twist in her stomach when she looks at them, but hey, they're both alive and happy and she can't complain about that. 'Sides, they made their choices and Rikku can definitely respect that. Not to say that she's never wondered what it might be like to give Tidus a big hug and a kiss, maybe, or what sort of relationship they might have now if they'd been the ones who'd hooked up (and you aren't going to be able to tell her that it wouldn't have been possible, since after all it wasn't like there hadn't been a chance for something to start if Sin hadn't come along and decided to drag him away) and whether or not it would've been as awesome as, well, as the one he has now. But she's not going to find out, so why dwell on it?

(It's not that she sees herself as the self-sacrificing sort. She's no martyr. She's just being realistic for a change - the old man would be proud of her, if she'd thought it was any of his business and told him.)

So when Tidus comes over, with that crazy blond hair and his big goofy grin and his bronze arms glowing in the desert sun, and asks how she's doing, she just grins and gives him a kiss on the cheek like a friend might. Then she says she's never been better, no matter how her stomach twists a little inside or how much she wonders.
