The doors slid open with a hiss, followed by the sound of heavy boots
entering the infirmary. The doctor greeted Squall and showed him to the
small room where Seifer lay. Stepping up beside the older man, the
commander of Balamb Garden glared down through azure oculars, piercing deep
into emerald eyes. They both scowled at each other for a moment, before
Kadowaki cleared her throat to remind Squall of his purpose in the room.
"." Squall tossed a glance toward the Garden's doctor, who eyed him sternly. Placing a hand on his hip, the young leader put on the most polite voice he could give to his lifelong rival. "I should thank you for helping Quistis, but she would've been perfectly safe if you weren't stupid enough to go hunting creatures five times your size. And then running out when you were still bleeding. Into the rain as well! You-!"
"Squall." The motherly tone of Kadowaki.
Planting a hand on his hip, Squall let out a sigh, while Seifer tried to stifle a chuckle.
"Fine. fine. Whatever. Thank. You. If it weren't for you, Quistis would be dead. Now, when you are properly healed, you may leave this place and hope we never meet again. Got it?" This was spoken slowly, through clenched teeth.
A trademark smirk crossed Seifer's lips then. "Aww, you care that much about me? I'm touched. Sure, mom, love you, bye."
With his hands balled into fists, Squall let out another sigh and just walked out.

"SO! How'd it go?" Rinoa gave her love a small kiss when he walked up. Zell was busy stuffing himself, while Irvine was flirting with a few female students at the closest table.
"You don't want to know," came the reply. "Anyway. Where's Selphie and Quistis?"
"Quistis is marking papers, and Selphie's gone to organise that Autumn Dance you let her hold this year, remember?"
"Oh. Right. Rin?" Hooking an arm around her lithe waist, he pulled her closer. "You will go with me, won't you?"
Rinoa let her forehead rest gently against Squall's cheek and nodded lightly.

Well. Very late. O_o; Don't expect the next post to come soon. Though it might. Doubt it. Maybe. Ya know? ^^; Perhaps I should start a little mailing list, just so people know when they can expect a new chapter. O__o;
