Act I
Rinoa stood on the balcony where she and Squall first kissed. She especially liked to go there on rainy nights at sea like on that day, which was where the now mobile Garden was most of the time. Best of all, only she and Squall held keys to the ballroom so no one else could get in. It was their secret spot where only those walls witnessed many long, passionate kisses and whatever scenery surrounded them.
Rinoa looked over the pitch black, starless sky down to the ocean that perfectly mirrored the sky. It sat almost perfectly still oblivious to the ominous clouds overhead.
"I figured you were here," Squall's deep voice aroused Rinoa from her thoughts of the sea and sky. His strong arms wrapped around her waist protectively as he spoke.
She turned in his arms and placed her own around his neck as rain began to pour from the clouds above. She smiled warmly and replied," Hi Squall."
Brushing a few wet bangs away from her face, he replied," Hi Rinoa." A smile crept across his face and once it was fully there, it made his whole face shine.
Rinoa was once again reminded why she loved him. It had been almost a year since Ultimeica and the six friends had been closer than ever. After the months on months of publicity, fancy award ceremonies, and banquets in their honor, it had all finally died down. They were all glad that they were finally being left alone, left alone and were able to get on with their lives away from the public's eye. They were all still at Garden, went on the occasional mission to keep their bills paid. They were getting back into a normal routine with a new SeeD in their midst. Rinoa had passed with flying colors and wore her uniform proudly.
She pressed her cheek against his leather jacket, now wet from the rain and twirled his necklace between her fingers. Squall tilted his head back, allowing the rain to drench his face as lightning flashed and thunder rolled. Rain continued to fall as Squall looked down at Rinoa and lifted her chin with his forefinger and his thumb, pressing her lips to his gently. Rinoa let go of his necklace and replaced her arms around his neck. The kiss grew more passionate and deep with each passing second. Lightning cracked and thunder boomed as Squall's hand slid cautiously under Rinoa's black tank top, his fingers gingerly tracing her spine. Their breaths became heavier and more frequent. Lightning struck the water again from a high cloud and thunder rolled instantly after.
Squall broke their kiss. "Next mission, let's get out of here," he said with what sounded to be a tone of pleading in his voice as he pressed his forehead to hers.
She smiled, with a slightly confused look," Why the sudden urge to leave?"
Squall's rare smile crept back across his face," Come with me."
Rinoa nodded, still smiling," Tally-ho."
The pair walked across the empty ballroom, their clothes sloshing slightly, and took the elevator to the first floor. The hallway to the dorms was completely bare of anyone. The two walked hand-in-hand, shoulder-to- shoulder to Squall's dorm.
**--^^--**
Squall allowed Rinoa to enter the darkened room. She sat on top of his computer desk allowing her legs to dangle over the edge. He locked the door behind him, walked over to her, and turned on a lamp behind her.
Rinoa looked at him with her head cocked to the side, smiling curiously," Okay, now what?"
Squall put his hands in his jackets pockets and he slipped off his boots, smiling the whole time. He looked up and stood right before her, revealing a dark blue velvet ring box from his jacket pocket.
"Squall...?" her curiosity was quickly becoming a mixture of fear and joy.
"Cid's rules about Garden's occupants having relationships with one another are that they can date, or 'see each other' as he calls it, but no more than that. Two SeeDs can't get married while under Garden's employment," Squall opened the ring box that he had been twirling between his fingers to reveal a ring with a sparkling diamond sitting proudly in the middle of the silver band. Tears slipped down Rinoa's cheeks. "So, let's get out of Garden and get married."
Rinoa smiled through her tears," Squall Leonhart, are you proposing?"
Squall smiled and chuckled," I'm still processing it. It seems like a dream but I know it's real. We're real. I love you, Rin, more than you'll ever know. Will you marry me?" Everything that he had believed in was screaming for him to stop, that she would disappear in the end too. But he held his gaze into Rinoa's eyes as she nodded.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," with that she threw her arms around his neck.
He hugged her back and sighed with relief, silently thanking Hyne that she'd said yes. She sat back and he placed the ring gently on her finger. "Next mission, we get the hell out," he said, wiping the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs.
*** Notice!! The 2nd part of this gets saucy. Non-Squinoa fans, if you ain't turned back yet, best do it now! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! ***
She nodded and kissed him deeply, slipping her shoes off using her own feet and sliding her hands down the arms of Squall's jacket, it fell to the floor quietly. He slid off of the computer desk and pinched his muscle shirt and pulled him towards the bed. He broke the kiss to smile and kissed her again. She smiled as he crawled across her on the bed.
"Well, here's one more for our list of broken rules," Rinoa mused softly, giggling childishly.
Squall laughed as he softly kissed her neck.
Rinoa laughed softly and pulled off his still wet shirt, revealing a lean, muscular chest and stomach. She dropped it onto the floor and kissed his chest and trailed back up his neck to his lips once again. Squall's hands slowly moved up along side her black tank top, taking it off it fell to the floor next to his muscle shirt. His kisses began to trail downwards from her neck to her chest, where Squall had somehow undone Rinoa's bra and it hung loosely on her, as Rinoa began to undo his belts. She undid them both and they hung loose from his waist, along with his unbuttoned pants. He pulled the comforter and sheets over them with a small laugh from Rinoa.
Meh (again) : ...and that's the end of this chapter!! :: laughs :: Come on, you didn't think I would go any further than THAT would you?! (He he...) Anyway, R&R. The 2nd chapter is getting ready to be typed up so peas lemme know what you think!! I think everyone will really like where this goes if they give this fic a chance!!
