~Broken Hearts,Ch.2~
He had been dancing with her,he didn't know how long. To tell the truth, the people, the closeness;it was all starting to make him feel nausated, but he continued his clumsy steps anyway. She somehow made it
worthwile. Flinching, Squall realized how many other males on that floor were thinking the exact same thing about their dance partner. This was stupid, stupid..why was he thinking these things?
Taking his eyes off her face in an effort to stop his train of thought,he concentrated instead on his fumbling feet.
Left, right, right, left, left, right..wait, or was it left?
The girl tried to steer him in the right direction but it was too late. Squall bumped into another one of the dancing couples.
That was it. He dropped her hand and wheeled around, intending to walk off the floor, but stopped when he felt a slight weight rest on his arm. And to his surprise, Squall found himself allowing to be pulled
back unto the dance floor.
What was he doing? He could have just walked away..walked away and never looked back; that was what he did after all, he was Squall, he cared about no one, shut himself inside a cage of ice..
his heart.
Why open it when he would only get hurt? Friendships would fray, relationships would break, it was human nature, you couldn't trust it. He hurt himself, denying emotions and secluding himself so others would not hurt him. He didn't speak his dreams because they would crumble..
for Squall was afraid of loss and of chance.
He opened his mouth. Yes, he could simply tell her that dancing was sentimental crap and leave. That was all he...had...to...
Squall abandoned all thoughts as she pulled him in close, her lips only inches from his.
"Stop,Stop!" screamed a voice inside his head, warning him as they got closer and closer. But Squall ignored it, being pulled in as if by an invisibe force.
This wasn't happening, he couldn't let this happen.He couldn't open up himself to anyone, not even this way..his burden was his alone to carry. Squall's thoughts whirled around, desperate and senseless as he found this was one chance he wanted to take. He leaned down...and his lips met cold air. She had backed off and was staring at him apologetically. Silently, she raised up one finger to her side and smiled at him before leaving. Squall felt strangely lonely as he watched her walk off.He hadn't even learned her name.
-What the hell were you just doing?-that annoying litte voice inside him nagged-why are you thinking about her? Forget about her, it was one dance, you don't need anyone, you don't draw strength of off others like that damn Selphie.
-But if no one knows-he argued-If I just keep it inside..Inside, Squall knew he was fighting a losing battle . It had taken him years to build up the icy fortresses around himself and she had came in one dance and sent them all into ruins.
Shaking his head to clear it off all his confusing thoughts, Squall turned around and walked off the floor at last, feeling light headed and tired. Yep, there was no question, they must have spiked the punch....
------------------------------------
Author's note-Alright,alright,I know this wasn't quiefer..but the next chapter will be, I promise. I just thought it would be sort of nice to show Squall and Rinoa's time at the dance while I was at it.
Anyway,did I do an okay job?How is the story so far?
Please review and tell me!:)
BTW=next chapter up soon..
