A/N: Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the long wait. I kinda lost interest in this piece, so updates will be very irregular. XD That being said, I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my new poll. Thanks in advance! ;)

14. Burn
"Ow!"
Squall nearly dropped the pan with boiling hot water on the tiled floor. Not that it would have mattered much; half of its contents was wasted anyway when he burned his hand. Good thing there was no one there to witness it, for he had shooed away everyone, including the cooks, wanting to have a private moment.
Or so he thought…
The brunet man froze when he heard his father's hearty laugh behind him. "You know, this is why you should get a wife. You're left alone for ten minutes and look what happens."
His son turned his head to shoot his father a glare that coud have killed Laguna on the spot.
"I'm just saying, being married has its perks too. I for one…would have loved if your mother had still been by my side."
The king's face fell, so Squall decided not to torment his father now.
