Rinoa walked up on the stage she looked at the grand piano in the spot light. She hit a few notes to test the sound. She sat down to play a slow melody. Squall watched her from a distance in the corner. Although they were the only ones there she didn't notice him; and started too sing along with the melody. Much to Squall's surprise she sang and played quite well. He found himself actually smiling slightly.
She finished and stood up, putting up the chair. Walking to the edge of the stage she stopped and faced the empty audience.
"Thank you, thank you!" She took a bow. Squall clapped slowly, Rinoa jumped not expecting an actual applause. Her face flushed.
"Hey! You were watching!?" She demanded her face still red.
"Isn't that the point?" Squall parried.
Rinoa smiled slightly, then she realized they were alone for the first time in forever. He went up and helped her down the stairs. She looked at him, she smiled.
"Hey, lets dance."
Squall looked a little stunned from the suddenness of her command.
"Come on!" She tugged at his arm. "You owe me a dance!"
They placed their hands together and started a small awkward dance.
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night there for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever knowThat I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
