Just a quick one-shot. This actually happened to me in real life and I thought it'd make a cute little story. As always, reviews are greatly appreciated.

"Bored. Bored. Boring!"

The petite blond swayed about, and crimson eyes glanced over in her direction.

"You're the one that wanted to hang out in Luca..."

Rikku moved in front of Paine, poking her finger into the air.

"That's cause there was nothing to do on the airship and I was bored."

Paine sighed.

"So what did we accomplish again?"

"Oh, do shut up, Dr.P"

Rikku's tongue poked out as she made an adorably funny face. The corner of Paine's lip quirked up.

"You shouldn't stick that out unless you plan on using it."

She just winked at her before turning around in her trademark Al Bhed thief boots.

Rikku was creeping towards Gippal who stood talking to Yuna, in ignorance of what was to come. She turned around and mouthed "watch this,"making Paine merely raised an eyebrow inquisitively.

As Rikku approached Gippal, she outstretched her arms, fingers twitching in anticipation. She swiftly came up behind him and jutted her fingers sharply into his side. A strange squeal erupted from Gippal's lips as his whole body lurched backwards. His head flung into hers before she could avoid it. She stumbled away as he fell to the ground, holding his side. He continued to lay there, letting out a pitiful whisper.

"Tickling isn't fair."

Rikku couldn't help but giggle despite the throbbing pain she felt. That big head of his had connected right on the cheek bone. His skull was just too thick, even under all that hair; it presented a false cushioning.

Paine shook her head, a small chuckle emerging as she made her way over to Rikku. She had never thought of Gippal as the ticklish type. Her smile fell as she saw Rikku holding onto her face though.

Rikku looked up at Paine, her lips quivering, green eyes huge, with a single finger placed upon her cheek.

"Kiss it and make it feel better." she pleaded.

Without thinking, Paine moved forward and gently pressed her lips against Rikku's injury. The Al Bhed's beautiful white teeth shone through as she smiled, but she quickly suppressed it and moved her finger over slightly.

"And here..."

Paine mouth curved upwards as well as she continued to kiss all over Rikku's cheek.

Green swirls twinkled mischievously, as she was about to point to her lips. Paine must have been thinking the same, as she smirked and leaned forward.

"Your lips look like they need to be kissed too."

Before either of them knew what was happening, her lips were upon hers. Time seemed to slow and speed up at the same time. It was...amazing, as if the rules of the time no longer applied to them.

Then once more, they were apart. Neither of them could stop smiling, their lips still burning with the sensation of each other.
