Sinning in Love
"I don't understand why, exactly, do we have to be training this early!" Rinoa whined as she walked around the training center with Squall. "I want to sleep. Come on, doesn't sleeping in today sound a lot better than what we're doing right now?" she clung on his arm, resting her head on his shoulder while ignoring his sighs.
"I'm not the one who has to take the SeeD test next week" Squall muttered. He ran his gloved fingers through his hair, though it didn't do any good. Those glossy strands of chestnut fell right back into his cool, cobalt eyes.
"But it doesn't mean I need to train every single day right?" Rinoa said before punching him in the arm. "And I was never the one who wanted to become a SeeD!"
"Yes you did."
"Nuh uh!"
"Stop lying."
She smiled a smile that reached her dark, chocolate eyes before squeezing Squall's hand, wishing he hadn't been wearing gloves. The dark green ferns brushes against Rinoa gentle, moistening her sea blue duster and arm wraps. The weight of the shooting star on her right arm made Rinoa feel secure, but knowing a T-rexaur could be around the corner scared her a little.
"Squall, do you think I can handle it?" She asked. Squall had told her earlier that he wouldn't interfere with the battle, but the look in his eyes had told Rinoa he didn't like his decision any more than she.
"I think if you don't scream and cry like you did last night you'll be okay" Squall teased.
"It wasn't my fault! How could I have known that it was Irvine dressed up as a Red Dragon!?" She stomped her foot. "Those things scare me"
"Oh come on, the hologram was pathetic." Squall smiled. "You cast that Blizzaga on him on purpose. And because you were sobbing so much it took us 3 days to melt him." Squall poked her side.
"You don't have to remind me.." Rinoa grumbled.
"He still gets nervous around you"
"Well I am the last sorceress around now aren't I? You should fear me."
Squall gave Rinoa a funny look, his brow furrowing downward as he narrowed his eyes at her. There was something about her eyes that made him nervous, something that told him Rinoa wasn't kidding this time despite the wide grin on her lips. He reached up and put a gloved hand on her cheek and caressed it with his thumb.
"You're not all powerful-" he was interrupted by the yawping roar of the T-rexaur.
"Squall what do I do!??!" Rinoa shrieked as it's thick, muscular tail came crashing down forcing the two to part and dive away.
"Find it's weakness!"
"It's a friggin' dinosaur! IT DOESN'T HAVE WEAKNESSES!!! What am I going to do? Squall" Rinoa whined.
"What hurts it or stuns it?"
"Oh wait! I know this one!" Rinoa said as she ducked the tail.
The animal lunged at her, jaws open as saliva dripped and flew from it's long white teeth. Rinoa froze for a few moments, gazing at the animal until it let out a loud terrifying holler causing her to jump. She shot her shooting start at it but had to time to aim; she watched it soar through the air until it his the animal in the shoulder. The angel blades slides through the meat until it turned and returned to Rinoa's holster. She watched as the blood oozed down it's leathery brown skin.
"Rinoa, stop it!" Squall shouted as the Rexaur charged again, this time heading for Squall. "I'm trusting you to save me."
Her eyes grew wide, and everything just seemed to slow down. She could see the muscles in the animal's powerful hind legs rippling. She saw the cool expression on Squall's face as he faced the open jaws of what could be his death.
God… what do I do? Rinoa thought, her lower lip trembling. "Sleep.." She whispered while praying the spell would be strong enough to knock him out.
The T-rexaur slowed quickly before tipping from side to side. It's eyes rolled inside that giant head until it fell over shaking the ground with a mighty tremor, as the tip of it's tail flopped. "I didn't kill it.." she whispered.
"No, but you did good. One of the T-rex's main weaknesses is to Blindness, Sleep and Ice. You couldn't have stopped it from killing me with Blind and I doubt it would have been slowed down with Ice. You knocked it right out Rinoa…. Rinoa?" Squall looked over at his lover, but she stood rigid. Her body shook and her eyes widened with fear. He could have sworn he saw them flash gold. "Rinoa what's wrong?"
"You can't survive… no one can survive.."
The ground began to tremble, the trees and leaves quaked, spraying droplets of dew on him as he rushed towards Rinoa. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her gently, shouting her name into her face but she didn't respond. She only laid there in his arms, smiling as the training center fell apart.
"Oh god, Rinoa, answer me!" Squall whispered before a branch hit him on the back of the head and everything went black.
"I don't understand why, exactly, do we have to be training this early!" Rinoa whined as she walked around the training center with Squall. "I want to sleep.
