Dedication: To those five reviewers who reviewed the first chapter, thank you so much for making me want to post more! I actually am REALLY into this, and I really want to keep working on this. Hell, I even wrote this just after posting the first chapter!
Note: By now I'm going to assume people recognize this as the 100 theme challenge on deviantart that is usually for pictures. Either way, I'm curious do people want me to follow that order or shall I mix and play with 'em?

Love

He remembered the first time he fell in love, Sora wasn't working in some overly loud place, nor was he spending his time around tons of people. Sora worked in the library, mostly in the children's section, and he'd much rather spend several hours at an ice cream parlor with friends then head to a bar and get shit-faced drunk with random people. Either way, he was looking for a book with Marlene and Denzel since Cloud dumped them on him when Tifa had gotten into some accident, and the twins had book reports that needed doing. So he found himself at the library, in the kid's section, sitting in those small colored plastic chairs that seemed like they would break at any moment.
The place was horrible, walls a pale crème color, rug with vibrant colors that looked like a hippie ran wild with a paint brush, and little chairs with small tables and large cartoonish stickers on the sides of the shelves just below the letter plaque. It was a place he never expected to be in, especially when Denzel shyly asked him to read a book. Usually Denzel was somewhat nervous around others, but just like with Cloud he'd grown an instant attachment to Squall and wouldn't let go. Marlene smiled and continued to read her own book, she was always more capable by herself but Denzel had become extremely dependent.
In the time Marlene started the one hundred twenty page book, Denzel was in Squall's lap and the man was reading to him in the most uninspiring voice that anyone could have ever heard. He nearly jumped out of his chair when another plastic chair clattered beside him and the young man that plopped into it sent Denzel racing to Marlene for comfort. "You read so… well… odd." The boy stated, eyes twinkling with amusement and a smile tugging at his lips.
"I don't care for kids." He stated, folding his arms after placing the book down on his lap. The boy's bright blue eyes looked at him in a confused yet amused look before he took the book and smiled at Denzel, who was hiding behind Marlene nervously.
"May I read it to you?" The young man asked, crossing jean leg over the other nodding slightly in question. Denzel eyed him for a moment before nodding and sitting on Squall's lap as the young man began his tale of the awesome princess changing roles and saving the helpless prince.
He remembered the first time he fell in love, Squall wasn't working in some quiet place, nor was he spending time all alone. Squall worked as an English tutor for his teacher's help, and he was often being caught by his friends if he tried to sneak away for quiet time. Either way, he was working at his job in the library when he caught interest in two kids running throughout the shelves looking for a book and the tall, tough-looking man behind them plopped into one of the small plastic chairs by the computers.
The man apparently wasn't used to spending time with kids, he'd been reading so boringly when Sora excused himself from organizing books with his twin brother, Roxas, to go over and bother them. He plopped a chair down and sat and asked to read, when he was granted a yes and the boy was settled he began his epic tale of adventure and finished it so emotionally that both Denzel and Marlene were searching through the shelves looking for the most epic and perfect book for him to read to them.
"You seem good with kids." The man stated to him, gaze ghosting over Sora as it sent shivers down his body.
"I usually am." Sora admitted, smiling pearl white teeth before holding out his hand, "Sora Kaze, nineteen, I'm heading to college for a major in art but my true passion is singing."
The man's eyes flashed before his lips tugged upwards in obvious slight interest, "Squall Leonhart, twenty two, I'm in college for English with a minor in History."
Sora whistled interestedly, "That's a lot of work, twenty two and such a serious study?"
"I'm more mature than I look." Squall commented before mentally hitting himself in the back of the head. Not only was he flirting, he was flirting horribly.
"And you look very mature already." Sora teased, smiling softly before Marlene and Denzel appeared with their book in hand, the kid version of The Frog Prince. He plopped Marlene on his lap as Denzel wormed onto Squall's and began to read the epic tale until Squall got a text from someone (the children's parents perhaps?) and they were forced to leave. Sora offered them to read it on the return trip and for several weeks after they returned and continued to read tons of books. It was about a week after their seventh trip when Squall came by himself, Marlene sick and Denzel refusing to leave her side, before he asked Sora out, and Sora said yes.
And now, as Squall watched his husband read a book with Marlene on one leg and Denzel balanced on the other, he thought it was rather amusing. But instead of commenting he reached over, pulled the digital camera off its charger on the desk near him, and snapped a picture quietly. The kids sent him a look before going back to looking at the pictures on the book and chatting quietly about them.
Sora looked up from the book at the flash before smiling slightly, eyes half-lidded in warmth and a gentle smile on his lips. It had taken Squall's breath away and he unconsciously snapped another photo as he was halfway through dropping the camera. Sora's lips parted in a small smile as the camera fell onto Squall's lap before he turned back to the book and finished reading The Frog Prince to the kids for the twentieth time.

Tke: I don't know if anyone recognized it, but I hinted twice to my favorite incomplete fanfic of all time on here, Frog Prince by Vash's Girl. Which is an amazing fanfic about Sora in love with a straight (bi-curious in MUCH later chapters) Riku but at the same time he's got an instant attraction to Squall and they're both fighting over him. Yes, I fucking LOVE that fanfic and if you haven't read it, please do, it's epic. (Shameless advertising of other people's fics? YES! IF THEY'RE EPIC.) I am IN LOVE with that fanfic and every time there's a new chapter I both print it and save it on my computer to read it over and over. I can't get enough of it, seriously, she's an amazing writer and she deserves a lot of respect.
Anyways, this was vaguely based off a one-shot I had started with Sora working in the kid's section of a library and Squall being forced to head up to the kid's area to return a book. It was quite amusing of an idea, especially when Roxas totally ruined it for Sora by admitting his interest in the brunet by accident. Hahaha, but that shall be posted soon, I really liked the idea and I have a couple more plans for it, so please look out for that too!
Also, if you didn't already, please read the note just above the beginning of this chapter and let me know what you think! Please review, I swear I'm dedicated to writing these drabbles, they're so much fun!
