". . ."
Zell growled in absolute frustration, his eyes narrowing to slits. A fist clenched of its own will. "Damnit, Squall! You're always like this! So quiet, so moodless. . .you're just like stone!"
". . ."
Zell heaved a sigh of long-suffering and paced about him, continuing to rant. "You piece of white marble - why don't you ever tell us what's going on in that head of yours?!" He stopped his circuit and stood with his fists on his hips. "Quistis' the only one that's gotten anywhere close to figuring out how you tick. Why can't you ever give us a clue? A hint? How about a smile?"
". . ."
Zell let out his breath forcefully in the form of a strangled yell and grabbed Squall's necklace. "Listen, you! I'm this close to throttling your neck. . . !" Zell quickly shut his mouth, shocked, and released his hold on the necklace, settling on the grassy ground next to the man.
"I just don't get it," the blonde said, his voice no louder than a husky whisper. His eyes crinkled shut and he dug his fingers into the soft earth. His voice caught in his throat as he continued.
"You've known how I've felt - how we all have felt - about you. So why'd you have to go and do something so goddamned STUPID as that? Any SeeD could have done it; fuck, every SeeD I talked to was ready to gang up on you and knock you out so you didn't do it. Facing a mad woman like HER by yourself--you insane or just plain slow?" He glared in some direction, but he was looking at something only he could see.
". . ."
"I've had enough of this." Zell crawled over the fresh earth to come to rest in front of the vivid, blurry flowers. He laid his head to rest on the cool, smooth, white marble. He couldn't stop the tears as the fingers of his left hand traced the lion engraved onto the tombstone.
"I miss you. . ."
--- Author's notes: I have NO clue where this came from, excepting that nowadays I've only been seeing Squall in Kingdom Hearts. I guess it stems from the idea that ANY quote from a book/movie/game/manga can be the basis for a story of its very own. And if you can't guess the quote I took, you need to be shot. Heh. Actually, it's "."
Well, college is being an ass, and, no, I have NOT done anything new in ficland, except a Saiyuki idea that I like muchly - I just need to figure out if I want to make it a multi-parter, or if it will just be a one-shot.
Anyhoo, comment away. Flames will be laughed at, for there's really nothing there to flame. I'm only implying things - but you all know that what I'm implying is true. And as for the mad woman I named.well, if you can't figure that one out, I WILL sic Zell and Squall after you.
