Firate. And (" ") indicates thought.

Squall rolled over in his bed and cracked and eye open. The sunlight filtered into his dorm room from the window.

"Damnit.." he muttered before swinging his legs up and over the bed letting his bare feet touch the cold tiled floor. He bristled slightly at the coldness then shuffled his way to the bathroom to complete the 3s.

He glanced at his calendar then did a double take. "Shit!" Selphie's birthday was today and normally he wouldn't care less about anyone's birthday, let alone his, he couldn't count the number of times Selphie had saved him with a Full-Cure at just the right time.

("She wouldn't even know if I had planned on getting something for her to begin with...") He thought to himself then he got himself dressed and headed for the Training Center.

As he entered the Training Center, he heard two familiar voices. He crouched down by some tall bushes and listened closely.

"Rinoa, look Im not going to hurt Squall like that. He is like my best bud."

"Zell, how long has it been since you got laid? I want it, you want it, lets do this..besides, I plan to leave Garden tonight anyway, he will never know."

"That's not the point!"

"Shhh...keep your voice down, you want him to hear us?"

"Us? You're coming on to me Rin! Just stop!"

"Fine! If you won't then Ill tell him you tried to get with me. Then what huh?"

"He knows I would never-"

"I've got him wrapped so tightly around my finger he'd believe me."

"Rinoa you wouldn't-"

"I won't...unless you refuse me."

Rinoa leaned over and nibbled on Zell's earlobe. "You know you want me Zell...Im tighter then your last lay, I guarantee. "

Zell felt himself start sweating and leaned his head back. "Squall is going to kill me.."

Squall crept closer, now able to get a full view of what was happening. Rinoa was blackmailing Zell in to sleeping with her.

Rinoa began whispering into Zell's ear and Squall decided he had had enough.

He stalked up to them and both their eyes got big as saucers. Zell scrambled to zip his shorts up.

"Zell I told you! Im with Squall!"

Zell looked to Rinoa like he could murder her and stood up, backpedaling quickly from Squall, even though Squall made no advance towards him.

"Squall! Man, look-"

"Its okay Zell, I heard everything. "

"So you heard the part about-"

"Where she wanted you and tried to blackmail you? Yes. Now get out of here."

Zell quickly ran out of the Training Center as fast as his legs could take him.

Squall looked back to Rinoa with a hidden rage in his eyes but he kept himself in check. "Leaving tonight? I wont know? Do I really seem that dense to you?"

"Squall I-

"Zip it Princess!" He shouted causing what felt like the entire Training Center to tremble at his volume.

"I dont want to hear another word out of your damn mouth! Now get out!"

Rinoa started the waterworks but Squall was beyond caring. "Squall I lo-"

"Shut...up!" He jabbed his index finger towards the entrance to the Training Center.

"Get out or I will have you escorted out. This is your last chance to walk out with your dignity. I will not tell you a third time. "

Rinoa looked at him pleading before turning and running out of the Training Center. Squall's eyes followed her out. He then made his way to the "secret area" and leaned his head against the railing.

He didn't realize he had fallen asleep until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"!?" He jumped slightly reaching for Revolver before his eyes laid on a pair of toned legs and a yellow miniskirt.

"Squall? You okay?" Selphie's voice asked softly to him.

"Yeah. Im fine."

"You know Commander" she tried to mimic Cid's voice "You are setting a bad example by being in the "secret area" "

Squall let a small smile grace his normally stoic face. "Thank you HeadMaster. " he bowed and let a small chuckle escape his throat.

Selphie placed her hands over her mouth in astonishment and gasped. "Oh..my..Hyne"

Squall's face contorted into one of confusion as his hand instinctly went to his gunblade.

"Squall Leonhart! You smiled and laughed! I didn't know you had those muscles in your face.

Squall rolled his eyes and remarked with his trademark "Whatever.." as did Selphie at the same time before she burst into laughter.

He placed his hand on his hip and turned his head away but couldn't hide the smile that graced his lips again, this time turning his head to avoid Selphie seeing it.

He turned back around only to see Selphie bent over, looking like she was clearing a spot on the ground, but that wasn't what caught his attention. What caught his attention was the fact that she wearing a hot pink thong. He felt his face heat up and he began to chew on his bottom lip.

Selphie leaned over a bit more forward. "Okay there!" She turned back around just as Squall was turning his head in the opposite direction. Smirking she placed her hands on her hips in mock anger.

"Commander Leonhart! Were you just looking up my skirt?"

Squall turned back around his face still slightly heated but thankfully no longer red.

"No." He said in his normal monotone fashion.

Selphie smiled "Mmhmm. .sure you weren't. "

"Happy birthday Selphie." Squall said, trying to change the subject. Thankfully it worked.

"You remembered?"

"How could I forget?"

"Why would you remember?"

"I-

Before Squall could respond Selphie spoke up quickly. "I have to pee. Come on lets go. We can go talk in my room."

"Selphie you know the rules about boys and girls..and what about Irvine?"

"Okay we will think of something, lets go before I pee myself. " She chuckled.
