Even though the tough times it's best to try and have the good.

Who: Fai D. Flourite and AU!Yuna
What: During the downtimes of building Fai drags Yuna away for a romantic date... or as romantic as one can be currently.
Where: At a random spot in the city and another secret spot.
When: August 26th
Warnings: Cuteness

[Today had been another busy day and Fai had been doing the best he could to help, but even with him they didn't manage as much. After all they had to work from the ground up, which he knew would take a while. But with the work done for the day and the sun slowly starting to set, Fai decided to go pay a visit to a certain someone and see if she had the time. he had things prepared, all he needed now was her.

Making his way over he could see her, working hard as per usual. A smile was firm on his face as he slowly started to make his way behind her, hoping to catch her by surprise and when he was close enough he wrapped his arms around her so that his hands were in front of her face.]

Guess who~?

[Yuna can’t really bring herself to say no to his request. She falls in step with him, her fingers gently wrapping around his hand. The air is starting to cool due to the tail end of summer but it was still nice out. She found that this was one of the times she enjoyed the most, of course spring and fall will always be her favorite time of year.]

Alright.

[She smiles looking up at him curiously before her eyes begin to wander around the city. The repairs were slow and it doesn’t really look the same as it had before.]

If you cover my eyes I might not be able to walk, you know?

I would be guiding you of course.

[Seems the most logical anyway as his eyes looked around. There was so much work that had to be done, he wondered how long it would be before this place would be even close to being what it use to be. It was hard to say really.]

It's going to take a long while before this place would be like it use to. Though I will admit I have seen worse.

[Yuna tries to keep her eyes forward. She is very used to this sort of distruction and she isn't surprised at how long the repairs are taking. Sin would leave cities in worse condition than this with more dead in it's wake.]

So have I. I'm glad that it isn't worse, you know?

[It can always be worse.

Yuna's head tilts to the side as they walking, noting where they are heading and were they currently are in the city. She's trying to guess in her mind where they might be heading but she's coming up blank.]

I never did ask but how's the cafe?

[She had only glanced at the building herself but that had been a few days before.]

Yeah... For all we know it could have ended up a wasteland.

[Which was not something he would like to think about really. He paused as he walked, he was kind of hoping that she wouldn't figure out where he was taking her so quickly and had been a tiny bit nervous when she had mentioned the cafe. However he was at least hiding that worry in the meantime.]

It's got it's problems, but we're slowly getting around to fixing it up at least. [At the end of the sentence he stopped walking, letting his hand go to the other before stepping behind and covering up her eyes.]

Now I'm going to guide you the rest of the way, so just trust me. I won't let you do anything stupid.

[She laughs softly at his comment.]

What would I do with your hands over my eyes?

[Yuna isn't really thinking more on the cafe other than the damage that might have been done to it. She knows the outside needs a little bit of repair but she hasn't looked inside. With the stadium burned down; Blitzball might not be a main focus so she is willing to help out if he needs it. Not that she has a lot of skills with a hammer.

Her smile is fixed to her lips as she steps forward. It's easy to trust him to guide her forward. She listens to their footsteps and the ambient noises around them as her anticipation builds.]

Well there is plenty you can do.

[He was careful in making sure that they were going slowly and that he could check where they were with each step. He knew they were close, he just needed to keep an eye out for Yuki who should be standing outside. When he saw the smart looking but shy moogle in the distance he made sure to guide her towards him.]

Okay, before I uncover you need to close your eyes, okay?

Okay.

[She nods slightly and then slips her eyelids closed. Her smile grows wider with each new step towards the unknown destination.]

Are we close?

We are, otherwise I wouldn't tell you to simply closing your eyes.

[He is making sure to carefully guide her slowly towards s door, opening it up and guiding her through.]

Okay, you can open your eyes now.

[When she does she will be standing in front of a table in the cafe. Table cloth lightly placed over it. Plates on either side, flowers placed in the centre. Simple but it was something.]

[Yuna slowly opens her eyes letting them adjust to the lighting. Her smile grows until it feels like it might burst from her features. She turns looking up at Fai.]

It's perfect!

[She steps closer, her fingers running along the tables edge.]

I guess you have cleaned up.

[He had moved to head over to one of the chairs, pulling it out. He might as well be polite.]

It's only really tidy in front of the shop, the back is much messier and damaged.

[He gestures towards the seat for her to take a seat.]

Yuki's been very helpful though, I do appreciate him for that.

Thank you.

[Yuna steps towards him taking a seat with a smile. It feels strange seeing the store empty like this and then being here with Fai. She has to force herself not to think about it too much or her thoughts might run away with her.]

I'll be happy to help. The stadium was destroyed so I'll have some free time for a bit.

[She leans forward slightly, her gaze never leaving Fai.]

So what's on the menu? [Her tone is light and teasing.]

[He pushed the chair when she sat down before going to sit down across from her.]

I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

[He pauses for only a brief moment before giving off a small laugh.]

I don't even know. I thought it would be nice if I let Yuki do the menu.

[The poor moogle had been nervous but it meant he was alone, which Yuki tended to like anyway, so it worked out.]

Until he comes we can talk for a little bit, like what were you helping with today?

Oh, just helping with organizing stuff, making sure everything gets to the right place. I do it with food, building materials and sometimes other people if they don't know where they can lend a hand.

[Yuna isn't good with building things herself.]

What have you been up too?

[Obviously his focus would be his shop.]

Not a lot. I've helped a couple of people rebuild a few things. Upside to watching someone fix a roof once.

[He smiles slightly.]

When I wasn't helping others out... I was just sweeping the floors of this shop and seeing what I will need.

[He could hear something from the kitchen and knew that Yuki must be coming out soon and he did carrying two bowls of what appeared to be soup. As to what kind of soup, Fai was trying to figure out.]

Hey, Yuki-chan~! What did you make?

[Yuki placed the bowls in front for a brief moment, he knew that question was coming.]

It's just tomato and basil. Simple but always nice, kupo. I was more focused on getting the other meals perfect, which reminds me I'll be back with the bread.

[And he quickly flies off to the back, coming back moments later with rolls placing them down.]

Enjoy, kupo!

[Yuna smiles at Yuki comes out from the kitchen. It's been a little while since she's seen the shy moogle.]

Thank you Yuki-chan.

[Her gaze shifts down to the soup and then over at Fai. Her cheeks flushed slightly while her fingers gently rest on the hilt of her spoon.]

Can I ask a question?

[Fai's fingers were already gripping a roll, as he glanced over, giving a soft smile. He could see she was getting red, so it made him wonder just what the question might be.]

You know you can, so ask away.

[With that he removes the roll and breaks a piece off, eyes still on her and wondering what she wanted to ask.]

[Her cheeks will flush a little brighter.]

I guess... this is our date?

[Yuna isn't sure what compels her to ask such a question. Maybe because she wants to hear him say so. They've technically had a date at the beach, where she finally got to walk him home, but she hadn't been as nervous then.

Really they went out a lot together, so this time shouldn't be any different. Except that Yuna feels as if it is.]

[He can't help but laugh slightly and give a small nod.]

It is, but what gave it away?

[Said somewhat jokingly as he dipped the roll into the soup before taking a bite.]

Though... this isn't something I decided. Since dates aren't exactly something I know much about, I had to rely on Yuki-kun a lot.

[She knows that he's going to tease her. It doesn't stop her from smiling at his comment.]

It's wonderful.

[Yuna picks up her soup, mentally noting that she'd have to find a way to thank Yuki later. There is a soft smile spread across her lips as she sips the warm soup.]

I mean, I enjoy spending time with you. It doesn't really matter what we are doing.

I thought we should do something different, this was pretty much Yuki's suggestion and idea.

[He wanted to try something different, plus he wanted to try some of Yuki's cooking, which was something he hadn't done before. So far it's quite nice, he was quite impressed.]

Next time we'll do something else. Whenever that will be.

[Yuna laughs softly while slowly sipping the soup. She then reaches for a piece of bread with a smile.]

What would your idea be then?

[She likes Yuki's plan but she can't help but be curious.]

[He pauses for a moment, before eating another piece of break dipped in soup.]

Well...I don't actually know. Usually what I like to do involves drinking, but you are a light weight compared to me. However we do have some wine if you would like some?

[There was a reason there were wine glasses sitting at the table.]

[Yuna smiles.]

I'd love some but you're right. I don't think I'd ever keep up with you. [It's a little embarrassing.] Have you ever been drunk? How much would it take?

[She can't help but be curious.]

[He chuckled slightly as if by magic Yuki knew drink was going to come out and had already came out with a bottle of red wine. Placing it on the table he quickly rushed back into the kitchen, causing Fai to chuckle once more.]

I have been at least once travelling before. Although hat was the one and only time that happened moving around. As for how much... Why are you asking?

[he had reached over for the bottle and was thankful Yuki had left a bottle opener there as well as he went about doing that while talking, before pouring her and himself a glass.]

Though to be honest...I could drink all night and cover a room in bottles and still not be drunk. It would probably need to be really strong stuff.

[Yuna watches Yuki with a smile, wondering if they were both really that predictable. It wasn’t until a few years that she even started drinking and while the effects of alcohol where unpleasant she really did like the taste and trying new things. Fai is a bad influence when it comes to that as well.]

Just curious, it must be a talent of yours. [Just like Yuna being able to hold her breath for over 5 minutes.] I think it’s interesting.

[She’s interested in Fai, that much she knows she’s made clear though she doesn’t see anything wrong with stating it again. She watches the dark fluid as he pours both glasses, her gaze flicking up to him when he’s finished.]

It might be a good thing too. [She carefully picks up her glass and then lightly places her lips on the rim of the glass. A smile adorns her lips as she places the glass back down on the table.] It’s good.
