Chapter Six: Inspiration
~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~
Lenne
was terribly nervous. She�d been pacing around trying on different
outfits since she�d gotten back to her house that afternoon. She and
Shuyin had made plans to have him pick her up at 7 and that was in less than a
half hour. Now dressed, Lenne was trying to find something to do that
would keep her calm. Writing music usually helped and she was going to
need a song for her first performance as an opener for the Zanarkand Abes on
Saturday night, but she was suffering from major writer�s block and only had a
few lines.
I remember hazy borders of my heart

I can see a place, it's something like this

Every now and then I don't know what to do

Still I know that I can never go bac
It
was enough for an opening stanza or maybe the chorus, but it certainly wasn�t
enough to call a song. She didn�t know what the song was going to be
about and she didn�t even have a title for the stupid thing yet. Of
course, names came after she figured out what kind of song it would be.
Did
she want to write another love song? Love songs were her specialty and
with Shuyin in the picture all of the sudden she felt like she might find the
inspiration.
She
sighed.
She
was doing it again.
Lenne
always let her imagination run away with her when it came to affairs of the
heart. That was why Yunalesca was so worried about her. It wasn�t
just that her friend thought Shuyin was a bad person, it was also because Lenne
tended to run into relationships with blinders on and didn�t see things until
they were right in front of her, smacking her in the face � sometimes literally
smacking her in the face like Broden did.
Lenne
made a face and shoved the image of her abusive ex from her mind. He was
the last person she wanted to think about.
She
put the pen she held down and played with the ends of her brown hair.
Whatever she was feeling for Shuyin was amazing and she was loving every minute
of it, but she decided that she wouldn�t give into those feelings. If he
was as bad as Yunalesca was saying, then the last thing she needed was to fall
in love with him. She smiled to herself, �I won�t give into it.� She said
with more passion, �These feelings are surrounding me but I won�t give into
it.�
Suddenly,
she felt inspiration strike her and, just as the doorbell rang, she quickly
scribbled three more lines down on the paper.
And though I know

The world with real emotion has surrounded me

I won't give into it
Rushing
to the door and stopping only to straighten her hair and her light blue dress,
Lenne opened the door and had to keep herself from gasping at the handsome
figure standing there. Somehow Shuyin managed to look more attractive
every time she saw him. Tonight he was wearing black dress slacks and a
white dress shirt. His lopsided grin made her blush a little because she
knew he must have noticed her gaping. Silently she motioned for him to
come in and he did so. The young couple stood staring at each other in
uncomfortable silence for a few minutes until Shuyin said, �Have you decided
where you want to go?� Lenne nodded and Shuyin mock bowed, �What can I do
for you, m�lady?�
Lenne
smiled, �Let�s go to that new place on the corner of 4th and 7th. I can�t
remember the name. Do you know the one I�m talking about?�
�Toscano�s?�
Shuyin questioned and at Lenne�s nod he offered her his arm, �Toscano�s it is,
m�lady summoner.� With a laugh, Lenne accepted his arm and the two
started out. Lenne had a feeling this was going to be a very special night.
-------------------
�Will
you get away from the window, Yunalesca!� Zaon hissed from across the
room. The young man was sitting at his desk going over their bills and
looked at his wife from over the glasses he needed to read close up, �It�s a date
Yuna! Let Lenne enjoy herself.�
Yunalesca
continued to stare out the window as the couple climbed into Shuyin�s red
convertible and she motioned to her husband to be quiet, �I am letting her
enjoy it. I�m not trying to stop her, am I?�
Once
the couple was safetly up the street, Yunalesca left the window and sat on the
sofa near her husband�s desk. Zaon placed a loving hand on her knee and
laughed, �You�re worse than a mother sometimes.�
�Well,
I think that�s a compliment!� Yunalesca replied, �I worry about Lenne.
The last thing she needs is someone like Shuyin breaking her heart.�
�How
do you know he will?� questioned her husband. He knew that his friend had
a bad reputation with women and with Allyn back in town nobody could tell how
things were going to work out between the blitzer and the summoner but Zaon
knew one thing. Shuyin really liked Lenne. He liked her more than
he�s liked a girl in a long time. With that being the case, a simple date
between the two couldn�t possibly be a bad thing.
Yunalesca
sighed and stretched her long body on the sofa before responding, �I don�t know
that he will. I mean, maybe he won�t. Maybe he�ll fall madly in
love with her and they�ll get married and have a ton of babies.�
�Maybe
they will.�
Yunalesca
shook her head, �But maybe they won�t.� she put her head on a balled fist as
she sat back up, �It�s that maybe that worries me. I know Lenne. If
she�s not thinking about babies with him yet then she will be by the time this
date is over.� The blond laughed to herself a little and said, �She tends
to rush things in her head.�
�You
don�t seem,� responded Zaon, �to have much faith in her common sense.�
�It�s
not that!� Yunalesca said, �it�s just that everything that led up to this date
worries me. I mean, it was weird how they seemed to connect so
quickly. Shuyin couldn�t even speak at first! He never gets
that way around girls.� Her blond hair swept the floor as she leaned over
further to say to her husband, �Who is that Allyn person? Tell me.�
Zaon
had been dreading that question but he knew it would come eventually and that
he�d have to answer it. He knew that Shuyin would rather never talk about
Allyn again, but with his wife asking him so pleadingly Zaon knew he had to
tell her. Putting his glasses on the table, he climbed onto the sofa next
to his wife and pulled her feet into his lap to rub them while he spoke,
�Remember when we first started dating we rarely hung out with Shuyin.�
Yunalesca
nodded, �You said it was because you wanted to spend some time alone with me.�
�That�s
true,� Zaon said, �but that�s not the entire story.�
---------------------
Lenne ate some of the potatoes on her plate while Shuyin was
just watching openly, and wantonly. He watched as she brought each bite up to
her mouth. With each move her mouth made, he wanted to lean over the
table and kiss her more and more. He forced himself to shake it off,
knowing that it would just push her away. He needed to maintain control
over his hormones. He didn�t want to screw this up.
�So
tell me more about yourself, Shuyin.� The songstress said after her potatoes
were completely devoured.
Taking
a sip from his water glass, Shuyin said, �Well, I�ve lived in A-East my whole
life and have played on the Abes since I was about 13.� He smiled at Lenne,
�What you see is what you get with me. I don�t bother hiding stuff and
will answer questions openly because people usually find out about the lies
eventually so you�re really just postponing the inevitable.�
Lenne
grinned at that, �Well that is a refreshing way of looking at things.
From the way Yunalesca spoke of you one might think you were some sort of rare
form of fiend.�
�Well,�
Shuyin replied, �Yunalesca has never particularly liked me. You can�t
take what she says too seriously.�
�Why
doesn�t she like you?�
It
was a point blank question and Shuyin wasn�t going to lie to Lenne or try to
cover the truth with lies. He cleared his throat and said, �Well, she had
been dating Zaon for about three months before I ever even met her. I�d
seen her a few times from the stands at the games, but never had been formally
introduced to her.� He took a bite of his chicken and chewed on it as he
contemplated how to tell her the rest. Once he swallowed he said, �The
day I first met Yunalesca was in the hospital. Zaon and I had gotten into
a fight and I slammed the door in his face. It broke his nose.� He
laughed, �Suffice it to say, Zaon and I were always breaking each others bones
over stupid stuff but Yunalesca didn�t understand that and thought I had broken
his nose for no reason. To top it off, it was around then that I started
with my�um�.well, I�m sure you know what I�m talking about.�
�Your
sexual exploits?� Lenne asked. Shuyin blushed a little and nodded to
which Lenne continued, �Why do you sleep around? Is it just because you
can?�
�Direct��
said Shuyin and he smiled, �I like that.� He sighed and tried to think of
the best way to explain why he did what he did. The only way to explain
it properly was to explain Allyn and he didn�t particularly want to do that and
spoil the evening, so he simply said, �Sex is fun and I like having it.�
Lenne
laughed and Shuyin joined her. Laughter between them seemed easy and
never forced and Shuyin loved that. He also loved the way Lenne�s eyes
danced with her mirth and when a song started playing in the background,
another sort of dancing occurred to him. He stood up and extended his
hand, �Do you want to dance?� he asked her.
Lenne
accepted his hand and as he led her to the floor she whispered jokingly, �You
do know how, right?�
Shuyin
let out a quiet laugh and the two turned toward each other on the dance
floor. Lenne placed her hands around his neck and he put his hands on her
hips in the same position as they had been at her house that day when Yunalesca
had interrupted them.
Shuyin
couldn�t help but wonder what would have happened had that not happened.
Shutting
his eyes, Shuyin let his body move with hers around the room. The silence
between them was poignant. It was as if they didn�t want to ruin the
moment that was developing between them. Lenne moved closer to remove the
gap between their bodies until both were conscious of the thin layer of clothes
that were their only barrier. Shuyin felt her lay her head on his shoulder
and he instinctively removed his hands from her hips and wrapped both arms
around her waist. Anyone watching would have been able to see that this
was more than just a friendly dance.
Lenne lifted her head a little to
look at Shuyin, who opened his eyes and smiled at her. Lenne smiled back
and the two continued to stare into each others eyes. The seconds ticked
by and it was only when they noticed the couples around them moving faster that
they realized the song had changed.
------------------------------
�What do you mean, �that�s not the
whole story�?� Yunalesca asked her husband. She was intrigued by the
beginning of the story and wanted to know more about Allyn. She was
hoping that she would be wrong about Shuyin this time and that he and Lenne
would be happy together, but with the sudden arrival of Allyn on the scene,
something told Yunalesca that if Shuyin and Lenne could have worked out then,
it was threatened now.

Zaon grimaced a little, �Shuyin used
to date Allyn.�

�What?� Yunalesca cocked an eyebrow
in confusion, �Shuyin�s never had a girlfriend. He doesn�t stay with
anyone longer than 24 hours.�

�He doesn�t now. He did
then.�

�He did?�

Zaon nodded, �Shuyin started dating
Allyn about a month before I met you. Both of us decided to separate our
love lives from each other until the relationships were solid. He and I
knew that together the two of us acted like Neanderthals so we figured we�d put
on a good front so that both of you girls would know the real us before
we got together.� He sighed, �I had met Allyn a few times at Shuyin�s
blitzball games so I knew her relatively well and I never really liked
her. There was something about her that rubbed me the wrong way.� He
laughed, �Maybe it was the way she always was rubbing my thigh when I
sat next to her that did it. I don�t know. Whatever it was, I never
told Shuyin and just let him go about his business with her. He was happy
and so was I.�

�What happened?� his wife asked.

�I just want you to know,� Zaon
said, �that Shuyin is very capable of loving someone. He fell hard
and fast for Allyn and everything seemed to be going fine. She was his
first girlfriend,� clearing his throat, Zaon whispered, �Well, she was a lot of
firsts for, Shuyin��

Yunalesca�s mouth gaped and she said
in half jest, �I didn�t realize Shuyin was ever a virgin. I just figured
he was born having sex.�

�Very funny!� her husband
said as he tickled her hips gently until she begged him to stop. He
released her and continued, �The day you met Shuyin was the day that he had
broken my nose. I never told you what really happened to cause that, did
I?�

Yunalesca shook her head and said,
�I just figured Shuyin was being an ass and punched you.�

�He didn�t punch me.� Her husband
replied, �He slammed a door in my face. That morning Allyn had left a
note on his pillow saying she was leaving him for some guy named Georg that
played for the Zanarkand Urks in D-West. Shuyin was really upset and when
he told me about it, I told him about her rubbing my thigh all the time and I
told him that I thought she was a slut. He didn�t take it too well and
when I followed him to his room to try and discuss the situation rationally, he
slammed the door and it broke my nose.�

Yunalesca shook her head, �So that�s
why he was so cold to her. I thought it was odd. He�s distant to
his one night stands but he�s never ice cold.� She looked at her husband,
�Why do you think she�s back?�

�Well, judging from the way she was
acting, I�d say that she�s back to get Shuyin.� Zaon sighed, �I just hope he�s
not stupid enough to fall for her tricks again. She has a hold over him
and I know he still harbors some feelings for her. The other day I found
a framed picture of her in his dresser when I was helping him look for
something. When I asked him about it, he said that he had forgotten about
it and that it wasn�t a big deal, but I just don�t know.�

Yunalesca�s gaze soured and she
said, �I feel sorry for him. Nobody deserves to get hurt like that, not
even Shuyin, but if he breaks Lenne�s heart then I will break his face.
You have my promise on that one, Zaon.�

Zaon laughed, �Go ahead honey, but
you�d have to beat me too him.�

-------------------
Pulling up in front of Lenne�s
house, Shuyin parked and exited the car quickly to open the door for her.
His father had taught him to be a gentlemen on dates and it was a lesson that
Shuyin hadn�t followed in his 19 years but with Lenne he suddenly wanted to be
as gentlemanly as possible. Once she was on her feet he offered his arm
again and he walked with her in silence to her porch. She unlocked the
door and walked inside with Shuyin at her heels. The small table lamp was
the only light that was in the room until Lenne found the switch that turned on
the ceiling fan.

They stood facing each other like
they had during the dance. The hum of the ceiling fan droned above and
the seconds ticked by. Shuyin�s eyes shifted between her eyes and her
mouth and back again. Her eyes did the same, but quickly came to focus on his
mouth.

The tension between them was growing
and Lenne made a move to turn away but Shuyin stopped her, �I need to tell you
something.� He said, his voice in earnest. Lenne nodded and looked into
his blue eyes as he said, �I think you�re feeling the same things that I am and
I think you�re trying to fight them as hard as I am. I don�t want to get
hurt as much as I don�t want to hurt you, but I know one thing. The heart
can only move forward. It can�t go backward and I want you to know that
if I have anything to say about it, you won�t be alone. You�ll never be
alone as long as I�m alive.� He stopped and smiled a little, �What I�m
saying is that I really like you and I hope you feel the same way.�

Lenne didn�t respond with
words. Instead she tilted her head to the right a little and moved closer
to Shuyin. She heard his heart beat start to race.

His eyes stared into hers and
tilted his head to meet hers. The first brush of their lips was gently
and brief. It reminded Lenne of the tiny kiss he�d given her just that
morning. For a brief moment his lips had been against hers and she longed
for that moment to stretch into many more moments. Letting go of
the hand she had clasped just before the kiss, she brought it up to the back of
his neck and pulled him down until they kissed again.

Shuyin ran his hands over her back,
loving the small sighs of pleasure she would emit between feverish
kisses. She relished the feeling of his strong body against hers. His
hands were actively caressing her back but he didn�t venture anywhere else.
She was happy that he respected her enough not to rush and was also
slightly disappointed at the same time.

Lenne wanted more and opened her
lips slightly on their next kiss. Shuyin knew what she wanted and he
gently slid his tongue into her mouth, caressing the inside of it much in the
way his hands were caressing her back.

Suddenly possessing a desire she
didn�t completely understand, Lenne shoved Shuyin over the arm of the sofa and
climbed on top of him. The blitzer seemed more than willing to comply
with her change of pace. The gentle kisses that had started between them
were soon replaced with deep and passionate kisses that left the duo breathless
with desire for each other. Lenne�s small hands unbuttoned his shirt
slowly and trailed hot kisses down his chest but when her hands went to do the
same with his pants, Shuyin tensed up and pushed her to a sitting
position.

"As much as I love this, I
think we should stop," Shuyin managed as he tried to steady his racing
heart and his over active hormones.

Lenne's face was a mask of
disappointment. Her brown eyes locked with his, "We don�t have
to," she said.

"Yes, we do.� Shuyin said with
more force this time, �I know where that entire thing was headed and I don�t
want to have things between us move too fast."

"I thought you wanted to go
fast," she said pressing her body to his again, running her tongue over
his bottom lip.

�Lenne," he started, trying to
control his urge to flip her over and give her exactly what she wanted so
badly, "I don�t want you to hate me in the morning." He paused and
stroked her cheek with one hand, "I meant what I said when I said that I
like you. I want to do things right."

"Yuna is going to flip when she
finds out that you are just a softie in disguise!� Lenne teased.

"Maybe I just want to make you
fall in love with me first." he said with a smirk.

"I can live with that,"
Lenne replied as she climbed to her feet. Seeing an opportunity he had to
take, he rose quietly and attacked her from behind, tickling her hips and
sending her into a laughing fit that ended with Shuyin having Lenne pinned to
the sofa. His body lay over her entirely and the intimate kissing began
anew. Lenne shifted a little and Shuyin moaned deeply into her
mouth. She squirmed again and got the same reaction which only made her
desire for him grow as she gently moved his hand from her shoulder down toward
her breast, but Shuyin grunted what Lenne believed to be a no and sat up
suddenly.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled at
her and said, �You�re irresistible, you know that?�

She laughed, �Then why do you keep
resisting me?�

�It�s difficult, m�lady. Trust
me.� Shuyin kissed her cheek gently, �I think I should go before I can�t resist
you anymore.�

�Okay,� Lenne whined as she followed
Shuyin to her front door. He opened it and stepped onto the porch before
turning back to her. She smiled, "Goodnight�" Lenne whispered
as they kissed lightly. Kissing at all at this point was a mistake.
The kiss quickly to become more passionate and Lenne struggled to pull Shuyin
back into her home by the front of his shirt which neither had bothered to
button back up. Shuyin grunted another no and both pulled away from each
other, out of breathe.

"Goodnight," he said as he
gently pulled the door shut behind him. Lenne watched him from the window
until his car was out of sight before she ran into the kitchen and grabbed her
sheet of paper. She suddenly felt inspired to write a song for the game
on Saturday.

It was thanks to Shuyin.

Resisting love and desire was going
to be the key for this song. Resisting the emotion she was feeling.
She smiled to herself as she sat down with her pen. Lenne touched her
lips as she recalled the kisses he�d placed there only moments before.
Her heart skipped a beat and she giggled slightly.

She knew she wouldn�t be able to
resist those feelings for long and she was happy.
Author�s Notes: This chapter will get into two
of the major conflicts in this story. The first conflict involves Allyn
and is totally from my own imagination. The second conflict involves
Vegnagun and belongs completely to Square-Enix.
