I'll Be Here
My first attempt at a FF8 fic.. I love this game and Squall and Rinoa as a couple and its meant to be that way!
In space
She looked at him one last time and moved to her set. She watched the stars before them for a few moments then the intercom went off.
-Hello? Are you still there? We have to ask you some questions.- Squall sighed and turned his head then back to the stars.
"Yes we hear you.." He said quietly. He looked at Rinoa then back to space. 'This is the second time their talking to us.. It's irritating...'
-How many are aboard the Ragnarok?-
"Just two.." Rinoa looked at him and smiled.
-Only two? What are your names?-
"I'm Squall, a SeeD from Balamb garden."
-And the other?- Squall stared at Rinoa who gave him a sad look. She put her legs to her chest while her head rested between her knee's.
"Rinoa---?" He asked puzzled at her actions.
-Sorceress Rinoa?- Squall turned his attention from in front of him to Rinoa who opened her mouth to say something but closed it again.
"Rinoa?" He said turning his body in her direction.
"Squall, I'm so scared.. I'm scared no one will want to be around me anymore. I'm scared, Squall!" Rinoa said sobbing.
-She'll be seized at your landing... Out- Squall clenched his fists. 'No! All that for nothing, she can't leave! She won't leave!' He screamed in his mind.
"I'm scared, Squall I'm so scared!" She said and sobbed harder. Squall knelt next to her and embraced her. "..Rinoa..You don't have to be scared.. I'm here for you.. I'll always be here for you." He repeated softly as reassurance. He closed his eyes feeling the moment.
------------------- Rinoa's POV/ Leaving..
I walked away giving him one last hug. They took me away walking side by side. I struggled to look back once more only to find him stare helplessly at me. He didn't know how to react..
"Goodbye, Squall.." She barely whispered and turned around and rubbed her eyes. I'm crying..
"Rinoa..." He said sorrowfully and turned around and headed inside the ship. 'I've only one choice... To save her... I shouldn't.. It her will and who am I to defy her wishes like that...?' He found everyone sitting at the passenger room looking at him.
"Your not just going to let her go are you?" Quistis scolded.
"She wanted to go.. And how did you get here?"
"We just got here man. We saw Rinoa and two people escorting here." Irvine spoke as he followed Seplhie out the room.
"After all you've done your just going to let her go!" Quistis scolded once again.
----------------- Edea's house
"Squall.. I can't thank you enough, for saving me." She said shyly.
"Don't worry about it. I just did what I wanted to.." He said and scratched his head.
"..Squall, I had a dream while they took me away... It ended as you saved me.. You said we could hang out with each other the next day and I went back to Timber. The next day came, and I didn't know where you were.. And I realized after I've looked every possible.. You didn't say where we would meet. And I woke up and found you holding me. I know it was a dream but I couldn't help but feel so lost.. And I noticed how forward I was looking to get to hang out with you.." Squall looked across the flower fields as she spoke to him and he smiled weakly and turned to her.
"I'll be here." She gave him a puzzled look.
"I'll be 'waiting'.. here.. for you.. so... if you come here... You'll find me." She smiled at him.
"Thank you, Squall."
"You feel better?"
"Much better."
