Forgotten Fall
Feel The Burn!
Disclaimer: We've been through this one too many times. I don't own Final Fantasy 8. Nor any of the songs. Which I don't believe I put any in..
Well first off I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed me, it gave me encouragement. I can't help it! Haha. Alright since I want to see other peoples opinions, feel free to tell me to add in a song. If I don't, it doesn't really go with the story. But um I'll try. Also, bother me about anything! Anything at all, meaning: directed towards the story haha.
Enjoy! Hopefully?

Squall sat on the shoreline as the small waves hit his feet, repeatedly. The children left a long while ago when they saw a big fish. He had the them on his board as he pushed them from behind. Emelia cried as Gippal teased her ruthlessly until Vincent pushed him off. They went back to the house and Squall stayed. He enjoyed the scenery as he laid back. He sighed as he heard his phone go off. He brought his phone and left it in his shoe as he went swimming with the kids. He leaned over lazily and brought it to his ear as he bushed off some sand that made its way on his shirt. "Hello?" Then the line went dead. "Damn people." He muttered as he looked back to the house. There was Maria running towards him with Angelo.
"Squall! Hey stop the dog!" She gasped and landed on her knees from exhaustion. The dog ran past the brunette as he made an attempt to grab its leash. He fell flat on his face and heard the girl laugh out loud as she crawled towards Squall. She observed as the dog ran to the lighthouse barking at nothing in particular. She laid next to Squall. "Why isn't Emily here with you?" She inquired and heard a gruff sigh as he rolled on his left side to face her. "Well?" She repeated irritated.
"Haha.." He stayed quiet looking up at the blue sky then a shot of pain went in his arm. Maria had hit him in the arm with impatience. "You didn't have to punch my arm you know." He said knowingly as he received a smirk.
"Tell me then!" He sat up and patted her head softly. 'Little girls these days..' He thought with a laugh.
"She had other things to do."

There it was, Rinoa Heartilly was leaning against a wall as she hugged her knees tight to her chest crying. She was hysterical. She was just walking about her room then she began to cry. It was the sour feeling in your throat and in your mind you were completely stressed, then you just started to cry. She was experiencing it again like a wave of realization. It came crashing down on her and she started to drown in her emotions. She bit her lip and wiped her eyes as she heard knocking and then a warm voice calling her name. She stood and walked to the door as she stumbled a bit over herself and there was Seifer.
"Hey girl." He said stepping in without no real invitation shutting the door softly. She sniffed as kept wiping her eyes. "I came up here to let you know that its just you and I here." He sat on her bed as she assumed the position from before just not crying. She sat looking out the window. "Zell went with Caraway to some meeting and he left me here for you." Still no reply. "What're you crying about?" He said straight forward.
He was met with more crying just this time she stood up walking towards the bed. She fell down next to him and curled up sobbing. "I have no idea why! Why are you being such a jerk about it?" She said choking up trying to hit him with force but she was weak from crying. He sighed as he hugged her laying back down on the bed. She laid crying not saying a word at all until she fell asleep. He tried prying her off him slowly but to no avail. He huffed as he fell asleep himself.
They stayed there for a while before an alarm went off. Seifer yawned as he checked his watch. His vision clearing after each second. He looked over as he heard Rinoa groan about the noise. He patted her arm in attempt to wake her. He was met with her glaring at him. "Its seven we slept for a few hours." He mumbled picking up his phone. He had two missed calls, Zell, and one unheard voice message, Zell. He quickly dialed his voice mail while tapping her night stand.
"Hey this is Zell, Caraway and I are gonna have to stay out overnight. These people fucked up our meeting hours with the Demont family. So right about now James is throwing a hissy fit at the lobby. I'm waiting for our limousine outside. Cold as fuck. Anyway man, catch ya later. Oh and there's some stuff in the kitchen so you don't have to go out."
"What did my fathers slaves want now?" She laughed. The blonde grinned at this but frowned. If they were in service for the Caraways and stereotyped as 'slaves', then he was one too. But then he laughed hitting her upside the head. "Hey! Ok fine you and Zell are an exception. I'll remember you now as part of the 'force' or 'faculty'. Hahaha!" She explained sarcastically. Then sighed. "That was pretty lame."
"Indeed, now what do you wanna do kiddo?" She looked perplexed then just angry as he played it casual.
"I'm no more a child than you, conceited whore." She joked standing up brushing hair behind her ear. Seifer followed behind as they continued down the stairway. A huge stairway at that. Rinoa actually suggested an elevator. Of course Caraway just laughed at the idea.
"Hey, that hurts. I'm not conceited. I'm just aware of my beauty." He explained. He was now looking at Rinoa who seemed to snort at this as she picked out peanut butter. "What're you doing with just peanut butter-" He stopped when she reached for the knife and a box of Cheerio's. She opened the lid of the jar and gently scraped of the butter till it covered the knife and she dipped it into the box of cereal then ate it. "You disturb me." She laughed and continued eating till she got bored of his face of horror and shoved the knifed down his throat.
"Mmm!" He said refutably trying to grab her arm. The brisk taste in his mouth left him in awe as he stared at her. "Mm mm mm!" He licked his lips but realized one main thing. She had that rare bright smile. 'Beautiful.' He thought.
"Your thanking me right? Haha. They all do. But... you know. This is a picture perfect moment, I mean. I, Rinoa Heartilly am shoving a knife down, you, Seifer Almasys throat. You know. I feel accomplished!" She beamed as she looked at the sight in a whole new perspective. Seifer took this chance to remove it before she accidentally killed him. I mean, for her sake. Her dead bodyguard with a cut throat from the inside, explanation? "What're you doing?" She mused as she couldn't contain herself and continued laughing as she ruffled his hair around. "I swear Seifer-" She looked in shock but then had a sinister smile.
"What? Is there something on my shirt? If so I don't drool-" He said looking down then looked confused.
"You realize that my father is the biggest alcoholic. Its just you and I here.. with his key in his desk to all the alcohol we would ever need. Oh my Hyne! Haha!" She laughed running to Caraways wing of 'privacy', in other words, where he would get drunk have guests and such. Seifer rubbed his chin in an amused way as he smiled. He could hear Rinoa running down the hallway with the key she just received. "Come on I want your opinion on this too, Seifer!" He walked through the hallway till she was in sight inside her fathers 'business room' which just so happened to contain alcohol galore.
-
"So Zell, what is it like to live in Esthar?" So now Rinoa's father and I are suppose to play twenty questions? Or well he asks them all. This food order is taking a while. This sprite taste like root beer. And apparently the root beer tastes like punch according to Mr. President here. I tapped our cornered table feeling a tad trapped but also a bit nervous.
"Well actually, I'm an adopted child. So I grew up down at Centra in an orphanage till I was five with Irvine Kinneas. Squall Leonhart's bodyguard. I was adopted by the Mayor of a wealthy town in Esthar, near the capital. Then I met Irvine again after a few months. Turns out the president of Esthar is my uncle. Well not blood related just from adoption. Squall Lionhart is my cousin and Irvine turned out being adopted by someone on Raine Leonharts side." I explain then breathed once again. It was nerve wrecking telling your life story to a President.
"Hmm. That is interesting. So why the convenience of being adopted and being related to the Loire family?" He asked biting into his salad then slurping on his drink. He was an extremely intensive guy.
"Squall Leonhart was put into the orphanage. Kramers orphanage in Centra. Their family friends. Then he met Irvine and I there. We were really his only friends. After a year or so of living with us he left back to Esthar. Then I guess the rest is boring history of having us being adopted by his family. Been friends ever since." I once again trying to sound intelligent, failing. He was going to ask another question, I could just tell as he tried swallowing fast and taking a sip of his root beer. "So what do you think Seifer and Rinoa are doing?" He laughed.
"I don't like to get in her business. As you teenagers put it, 'pisses me off'." I laughed and nodded slightly as the waitress put down a plate of my long awaited hamburger. No hot dogs, so this would work just fine. "I could guess. But I don't want a new employee, such as yourself, getting shocked." I laughed once again but I did into my food and coughed rather abruptly. "But I suppose I could give you some information on my daughter.."
"Haha, nothing too bad I would think. I mean your daughter is like Ms. Goody two shoes. No offense, sir." I ran my hand down my face, I swear if this was anyone else I would be fired in an instant. So unprofessional and rude. Sheesh. Thank Hyne he isn't having that vein in his forehead pop out.
"Oh you'd be surprised. If you read her diary, which yes I have done on a few occasions, you would be surprised at just how rebellious she is." I nodded, deciding not to laugh as he wasn't. But only a straight line bore his lips. "My daughter likes to think I don't notice her stealing alcohol from my house."
"Hm. Well I've come to this conclusion of-"
"But let me get this straight Mr. Dincht. My daughter was born seventeen years ago, her mother was really the only parent she had in her life. I was always working. That Seifer Almasy is the only 'guy' I can trust to be with her. He's known her since she was at least six. They basically grew up together along with Selphie Tilmitt. Rinoa turned sixteen then she had an interest in Seifer. They went out for a while, then after dinner with my late wife I come home to find my daughter crying on her bed. They broke up, friends ever since. Then a while back we wanted to build a garden in Esthar, I put Rinoa in charge. Then she suddenly came up with the idea of being a writer. Then now, you see my daughter."
"Wow. What next?"
"What next? Nothing. Nothing at all." He started laughing. He laughed for a long while and I sat there as he began to chimer down.
-
"Heyyy.. what time i' it?" Slurred the young woman as she leaned against Seifer. He looked down not to sure himself and realized he was laughing as he couldn't read it very well. "Chee, the least y' could do is read the time t' me." She complained but then laughed as she fell on his lap. "Ha ha ha ha. Ya know, this reminds me of that one time. Hey ya punk!... I forgot what I was gonna say.." Rinoa was completely wasted as she went on about nothing and Seifer was the one who wasn't that drunk. Or at least acting like it.
"Your such a rad little drunkard, I love it." He mused patting her head. I'm hungry." He mumbled. "I can walk, but I don't think you can." He laughed as he stood and stumbled a bit. He smiled at the sight of Rinoa looking up at him then look as if she was going to puke. "Hey come on I'll walk you to the counter thing." He said seriously.
"Pfft! You know, you don't act drunk." She said trying to stand, she was grabbing his pants in an attempt to stand. "Hey! What the hell?" She shouted as the teenager grabbed her and lifted her on in his arms, the kitchen was only a few steps away thankfully. She sat there holding onto the curb of the sink just in case she really was going to vomit.
"There's a difference between being completely fucked up and drunk. For instance your fucked up, and I'm drunk. I'm not in my right mind but your no where near right minded. I can walk, you can't. I can talk, you can't.. really. Ha ha ha ha.."

Ellone sat at an empty table in a sleep surrounded by buckets of paint, brushes, and the smell of sawed wood. She'd been helping out remodeling her friends home as well as part of her own. It was 10:44 p.m. Someone walked through the door and make a loud creaking noise but still she didn't wake up. 'Ha ha.. Shouldn't wake her up. Now where's that binder full of Xu's wedding things I left? Way to go Quistis. Losing your friends wedding arrangement book.' She huffed as she saw the thick book underneath Ell's arms which she was using for a pillow. 'Oh hyne, what a mess.' She walked forward as quietely as possibly only to kick over a bucket full of dirty brushes sitting in water. "My shoes!" The blonde shouted immediately as she stood with a pouty face.
"What happened?" The older woman asked groggily. "By the way.. you forgot your book." She said naively to the situation. She looked down to what Quistis was pointing at. Her shoes were covered in soggy white paint while the majority of black from her shoe stood out ridiculously obvious. Ellone gasped as she saw the look of horror on Quistis' face.
"And they were knew." She whined.
-
"Squall dear? Can you get all the children to wash their hands, please." The brunette was helping Edea cook dinner, they were eating some Galbadian dish. It seemed the kids liked Galbadian food more. Which was more spicy than others. Squall wasn't exactly the spicy type as he sighed inwardly when she said what she was cooking. He nodded obediently as he entered the room to find Zack tied up and Gippal as well. He looked to his left to see Vincent in the process of being tied up, he practically did it for them. Maria and Emelia looked aghast as Squall hovered over them.
"What're you doing?" He asked leaning down to eye level. Only to get a huff in return then they ran outside as quickly as they could. "Children these days." Vincent sat there looking up at Squall. "No need to say thanks." He said for no real reason. Zack was biting a sock with salt inside of it Squall soon found out as he untied him. "Now I know Vince won't do anything in revenge, but Gippal.. Go wash your hands in the kitchen and Zack. Ah go with Gippal. Vincent you go find the girls and bring them into the kitchen."
"But they tied us up! No revenge! Are you kidding me? Tch. Adults man." Gippal muttered walking out f the room with a mean look on his face as did Zack. Squall entered the kitchen to see Cid sitting at the head of the table reading his evening news paper. Squall tried exiting the room only to bump into Mrs. Kramer. 'Damn.'
"Cid is back from work dear. Cid Squall's right here." The teen sighed as he sat down next to him. He muttered something about unfairness then shut up when Cid sniggered. Better hearing then he imagined.
"So how are you doing guy?" He asked casually as he placed his newspaper to his left. The children entered in a respectful manner. The girls weren't crying. The boys, mainly Gippal, didn't do anything to the girls. Cid now had a pipe in his mouth making Squall crave a cigarette terribly.
"I'm fine. How are you doing?" I questioned keeping the conversation it would please both adults. Maria sat next to the teen on his right. Then Emelia next to her. The list went on. Cid nodded knowingly taking in the information. 'Now the skeptical part of the conversation..' Squall thought irritably.
"How is Ms. Almasy doing? If you don't mind my asking." Mr. Kramer included. Squall shrugged and kept quiet. "Oh please, no need to be shy Squall." He purged. Still no reply.
"Could we talk about this later, perhaps?" He whispered softly. No children were really ware of the conversation. Even Edea herself was in her world of keeping Gippals hand out of the food. With Zack's assistance.

"Geez.. I can't concentrate on that tile.." Rinoa sat on the kitchen counter leaning against the wall located behind it. Seifer leaned on a counter as well eating Cheerio's, plain. She was sipping on a water bottle the size of her forearm which happened to be the only water that wasn't tap. Sadly enough.
"Me neither.. But your probably worse.. Good thing we got that water." He muttered looking groggy and exhausted as he effortlessly stuff the food in his mouth. 'Which tastes like your vomit.' He added mentally. 'Which is why I never had any.' She nodded and noticed him smirking.
"What's that smirk?" She inquired getting more awake then he did his act.
"Smirk? What smirk?" He asked and she of course got confused by that. She sat there and she sniffed silently. 'He he ha ha! I love this part of drunken stupor.' He thought with the same smirk till he heard her breathing getting harder. He looked up and she was crying quietly. Her gaze down to the floor, her face running, her breathing hard. "Hey, what's wrong Rin?" He asked walking to her and she cried harder then hugged him. "You alright Rin?" He asked rubbing her back as she quieted down.
"I just feel.. like such a failure.. you know? I feel like if.. my mom isn't on my mind.. when I'm thinking about things.. its like I'm forgetting her.. Then when I fuck up and do this.. its just so much worse." Her arms were loosely around his neck as her head was buried in his neck as if she was trying to hide from everyone. "I'm such a disappointment." She mumbled and cried once again.
"Hey, no way. The only thing I find disappointing about you is how you beat yourself up constantly. When did that even begin to start happening anyway?" She looked up as she wiped her eyes and set her sights on a flower in a vase. It was a lily, brand new. The light emitting on it made it look almost angelic.
"You did." She answered. "Almost two years ago. You broke up with me so sudden I couldn't keep up with you. It was the last thing I would've expected to happen. Dear Hyne, how dumb is this? Its like I'm staring on a soap opera. Ha ha. I mean I'm still trying to sober up-" He kissed her on the lips, a simple kiss. Nothing long, nothing really wild. Her hand was still on the back of his head but her grip was loose from his sudden movement. She had reddening in her cheeks as he stared at her.
Silence eluded them as their stare continued. It was a stiff moment till she coughed a bit. But that was all. He grabbed her hand again and kissed her again, he stayed like that, she only returned the notion. He cupped her back while leaning against her.
"Seifer." She spoke softly. He placed his head in the crook of her neck as she spoke. "What the fuck." She said blandly. She sat on the counter like before. He was still leaning against her. "Are you going to say anything?" She inquired, somewhat annoyed. He looked up with a smile and kissed her once again.
"I know." He mumbled. "I didn't dump you because you weren't pretty or anything stupid like that. I really liked you, but then I felt stupid for doing that with you." He nuzzled her neck as he picked her up in his arms. "Your acting as if you weren't good enough, if anyone wasn't good enough it was me." He kissed her lips softly and looked at her. "Maybe this is the booze making me kiss you, but I love you. Your my best friend. And if you feel unworthy of something so simple, this is my way of telling you it isn't."
"Telling me it isn't what?"
"I'm just sorry for that. Then leaving for a while then coming back acting clueless. It was dumb but I didn't know how to react. But if I was given the chance again, I would've done the same thing but not leave, stay there with you instead of running off for as long as I did. If I could make it up to you, just say so now. If not, I'm so sorry." She thought for a moment but then shook her head leaning forward. This time she was the one to start kissing.

"Darn it where's Irvy?" Selphie sat on a curb leaning on her arms she sighed. 'My latest interview got out saying they would call me. Hah! If I didn't know better they'll give it to someone else.' Then a car pulled up. A car pulled up and the window rolled down revealing Irvine. "'Bout time!" She muttered and opened the car door.
"Hey good looking, like my new car?" He asked turning down his music. She strapped in unconsciously and knocked on fake wood. He did a tug of his lips as he sped forward. "So how was your interview?" He questioned further and she laughed. "That bad, huh? Well if it makes any constellation I would like to take you out to lunch." She laughed and nodded switching the shifting gear making screeching noise. He looked at her after running through a red light. "I try and understand them.." He whispered peering ahead quietly leaning forward on his wheel just in case she tried anything funny. "So uh, how was school?" He asked as she leaned her head out the window. 'Hmm. What time is it? 2:00 exactly haha. You stud.' He laughed inside and notice Selphie was staring at him.

Quistis walked around the hallway and remembered the other days shoe incident. She sighed and balled her fist at the memory. She carried the binder which she found yesterday night. Xu sat in the kitchen next to Nida then Laguna was seated next to Quistis' spot. "Good afternoon everyone!" She chimed as she sat down taking a sip of fresh coffee. 'I love this job.' She smiled and placed the binder down in the middle of the table. "So down to business-" She looked around, Ellone was missing. "Where's Ell?"
"Oh she said she was grabbing something from upstairs. Most likely calling Squall." At this they laughed and opened the thick book placing them down on the table in an exact order. Laguna was eating a raspberry scone with coffee. That seemed to be that coffee was most famous in the Loire Presidential Palace.
"Alright, well since Squall isn't here-" Ellone said walking into the room patting Laguna's shoulder as she seated herself at the head of the table, she and Quistis were mainly in charge of the wedding. Quistis laughed trying to keep quiet.
"Remember last time?" Xu laughed at this as did Laguna wiping the food at the side of his mouth. "Anyways..." Quistis continued and gave Ell her undivided attention as did everyone else. Mr. Loire himself straightened his posture coughing into his napkin.
"Alright Squall, which one do you like more?" Ellone picked up a white rose as did Quistis. "I was leaning more on Quistis', what do you think Quisty?" She pointed to the left. "We're just seeing which one you like better both of them would suite the scene of the wedding.." She said softly. Squall looked confused and decided not to point out their the exact same color. He pointed to the one on the right. "Ok thanks. Squall, can you go get some coffee?" He nodded leaving, the door shut and the girls cracked up in hysteria of laughter.
"He didn't even realize they were the same color!" Quistis gasped covering her mouth in utter amusement as did Ellone.
"Alright good thing we finally got our band figured out. And it's free!" Xu added picking up her bag about to leave to an appointment with Nida to a florist. "I just hope they get there. Anyways bye everyone. See you all tonight. Oh we decided on the engagement party in exactly two weeks right?" Ellone nodded giving them a hug as Quistis and Laguna did as well.
"So when is Squall coming back?" Quistis asked rubbing her chin smiling. Squall the perfect boy to put tons of work on.
"Just a few more days then you can flirt and put tons of work on him! I know I love him too. Just for different reasons." She joked laughing as she walked down the hall. Laguna sat at the table again eating probably his twentieth scone that day while reading the local newspaper humming a song to himself.

It's about that time when I find myself being sabotaged by the two adults of the house. Them dragging me into a game of cards or even to watch a Blitzball game. With a beer. Which was a bonus. The kids were outside playing hide and seek and I find myself pretending I'm one of the people hiding. I walked down the hall to see Maria peeking out from behind the closet door with Emlia telling her to close it.
I walked along and smiled as I found Zack running down the hallway into the room where I store all my things. I decided to walk into the lounging room where Cid and Edea always sat together and chatted. In other words.. my interrogation room. "Hey." I said closing the door before someone found out he was inside. The two of them looked up.
"Something wrong? Are the children bothering you too much?" She asked concerned as I sat across from them, the interrogation begun. Ha ha ha ha. I shook my head as I leaned back. "Did you know your friend Nida's wedding was moved up to three weeks?" This caught my attention.
"No I didn't. Sis called me earlier to check up on me but didn't mention that." They nodded as they absorbed it in. If being an adult meant nodding for every response, I would rather chop my head off. "Well anyway. Did you want to talk to me about anything in particular?" Cid looked up and smiled. The answer was yes. I should've waited a second so I wouldn't have to waste my breath.
"What ever happened to Emily? She left a message a week back said she was going to visit her friend in Timber. Catching a plane then taking a train, if I heard her right." Why would Emily call them? Are they really that attached to my life? Oh dear Hyne.
".. Why would Emily call here?" Cid looked baffled and Edea laughed at this.
"We like to check up on our niece. Either we call her or she calls us." I forgot about that. "But.. Edea would you mind leaving the room for a moment?" She nodded and kissed the top of my head as if I were a puppy she just bought and adored it. Why is he suddenly glaring at me? "I've always thought of you like my family, considering you were engaged to my niece."
"Sir, I was never engaged to her." I explained standing, this didn't feel like home anymore. This felt like I was being second guessed and of all people.. "I don't even understand where you would've suspected this-" He stood as well giving me a lowly demeanor.
"It doesn't have to be used only as a marriage reference, Squall." He walked to the window looking out to the white house. There was Angelo barking once again at nothing in particular. "I want to know why the two of you broke up in the first place, honestly." He looked back and I then walked to the door.
"If you know that then I'm sure you can come up with why. Good afternoon, sir." I said shutting the door rather harshly to be spotted by Gippal. "..." I looked down at him, we didn't say anything for a moment or so until his facial expression changed into a bright smile as he pointed at me.
"Found ya!" I sighed and ran my hand down my face while being tugged by the boy outside.

Rinoa's eyes blurred as she woke up. She'd slept in late. She felt woozy as she sat up, she had a hangover. 'Oh Hyne.' She thought while rubbing her forehead. She felt a tug of the sheets and she looked to her left to see Seifer slowly waking. He stretched out his shoulders and looked up at her. He wasn't wearing a shirt. The only clothing he was grey boxers. She looked down and noticed her clothing wasn't that coverable either. "Oh fuck." She said turning away. 'Idiot!' She looked at the floor and noticed clothing thrown in a path by the doorway. 'Your such a fucking idiot Rinoa! Dear Hyne!' She said looking at her, she was in a white-beater and underwear.
"Uh, morning." He said finally looking around his surroundings as well. 'Shit.' He thought standing up and walked into the bathroom quietly. The door creaked as he shut it, it sounded like he was brushing his teeth. She sat there and stood up to see what time it was, 2:39 in the afternoon her father would be home soon. 'I need a shower. But he's in there.' She thought desperately. She grabbed some clothes and put on some pajama pants. 'Your such a fucking idiot. Such an idiot..' She thought on the bridge of tears picking up the clothes scattered on the floor. Seifer stepped out from the bathroom and picked up his belongings not saying a word to her.
"I um.. need a shower. So I'm gonna go downstairs and you can use mine if you want.." She said not really taking a breath between and walked out of the room hugging her arms. He heard the door closed and let out the breath he didn't know he was holding. She walked along the hallways, it really was just her and Seifer. She looked to her right to see empty bottles arrayed on the counter top along with cereal and peanut butter. "Your so brilliant, you drink with a guy then you wake up to not remember what happened but only part but sleeping with him. He just so happens to be your friend." She laughed disgracefully turning on the shower.
-
