Very suspicious...

"Why, may I ask-" Squall inquired languorously but sternly. "-are you blinking at me?" The question that directed towards Zidane filled with slight eagerness.

Zidane - realized that he had been caught blinking and staring intently- bit the bottom of his lip and raised his hands in defense. "I wasn't."

"Yes you were."

"No-"

"Yes." For Zidane's sake (not that he cared much), Squall pretended he didn't notice the pink flush that coursed to the thief's face.

Cute, he thought albeit reluctantly.

Zidane huffed. There was no way he could reasons with Squall let alone to fool him with subtle excuses. He chose the manliest way to evade Squall's accusing stare.

Zidane spun on his heels, arms to his side and he...fled away from the mercenary.

This time, it was Squall's turn to blink.

What the...

The gunblade master quirked a perfect brow when he heard Bartz chortle from behind with a low tone. He almost forgot about the other. Not that he could care less about the mimic. Maybe because...Squall realized his eyes often found its way to Zidane's tail, silently fascinated by the extra feature the boy had.

"...what?"

"Oh no! It's nothing. But," Bartz leaned closer as if he was about to share a huge secret. "It's just, I told Zidane if he blinks his eyes at the person he likes, that person will, without a doubt, fall in love with him."

Of course, Bartz made that up. He never thought Zidane would fall for that cheap trick. Gullible much? And Zidane called himself the famous thief.

...

Oh. Squall looked at the direction where Zidane had run to with a pair of unfathomable eyes.

"Butts."

"It's Bartz."

"You're an idiot."

"Well..." Bartz shrugged. "I know."
