Title: Tidus and Rikku fail to understand one another
"Hey, uh, Rikku?"
"Yes, Tidus?"
"Well, you know how Yuna and I are kinda...uh...you know..."
"You made out in a pond and now you're together," supplied Rikku politely.
"...Yes."
"Well?"
"Let me start off on this differently. You know how you had a little crush on me, and you kept hugging me, and then you got over it?"
"...Yeah."
Tidus coughed. "Well, you know how you now constantly hug Yuna? For, like, ten minutes every time."
"Yep. I like hugging people," said Rikku, noting with interest the almost consecutive rhyming words.
"You never hug anyone else."
Rikku looked perplexed. "Do you want me to hug you, Tidus?"
"No! That's not--that's not what I'm trying to get at."
"Okay, then."
"Well, you know how yesterday you hid in a tree and jumped out of the tree to hug her?"
"Yeah, that was funny!"
"And you knocked her onto the ground, and kept hugging her?"
"Ha, yeah."
Tidus blinked and shook his head a little. "It, uh, made her a bit uncomfortable."
"Why?"
Tidus wisely decided to change course. "Let me start again, Rikku."
"Again?"
"Do you know what the word 'lesbian' means?"
"Yeah, it's when a girl is attractetd to other girls," said Rikku, smiling innocently.
"..."
Once again, Tidus changed course. Oh fickle men. "Rikku, do you know what incest is?"
"It's when people have sex who are too closely related," said Rikku promptly.
Tidus stared at her.
Rikku smiled back at him ingenuously.
