(Two days later,Balamb Garden)
Zell hadn't seen much of Squall since he woke up,whether out of fear or cowardice,he couldn't decide.....
(....I need to tell him,I'm gonna go stir-crazy just sitting here..........)
He sighed and swung his legs absently over the Garden Festival stage edge.
(This is where it all started................)
He was just about to jump off and head back to his room,when he spotted Quistis striding purposefully towards him,her eyes like storm-clouds.
"Yo,Something up?" He asked,keeping his tone light.She hopped up next to him and looked out over the sweep of golden sand,lapped by a turquoise,liquid blanket, "Squall's fine......." She began a hint of irritation in her voice, "And you still won't cheer up."
Zell grabbed her shoulder tightly,forcing her to meet his eyes, "What the hell does that mean?!??" He cried,taken aback by her words.She shook her head,a sudden pain washing over her, "You have someone who loves you very much......don't take it for granted."
"............."
"............."
Zell dropped his hand,turning away guiltily, "I didn't mean...." Quistis smiled, "Take care of him for me." She slipped off the stage.As she walked away Zell nodded,speaking under his breath, "I promise."

(Balamb Beach-Early evening)
The sky was a canvas of warm peach,laced with sugary,pink sherbet clouds.The ocean reflected golden slivers of the dying,evening sun.Zell padded silently across the shore,shoes in one hand,the cool,damp sand yielded beneath his feet.Flocks of cream-coloured seagulls scythed through the air,in perfect formation,their shrill cries the only sound,except for the splash of waves,caressing the sand.He could see him now,leaning against a water-worn rock,his head bowed in distant thought.........
(I know what I have to do.............)
Zell approached him hesitantly,his confidence wavering as he got close enough to see Squall's face,perfect profile silhouetted in the faint sunset,only blemished by that fateful scar received all that time ago......
(I never realised how beautiful he is.............)
"Hi....." His voice sounded so small,vaguely terrified of doing something wrong.Squall looked up,his eyes lighting up as he met Zell's gaze. "How did you find me?" He inquired,motioning for Zell to sit next to him.Zell leaned against the rock heavily,barely able to contain his trepidation, "Oh,Quistis told me...."
(.........Come on,don't back out now.............)
Zell took a sharp breath and threw caution to the wind,
"Squall?"
Squall tilted his head,smiling slightly, "Yeah?" Zell didn't hesitate anymore,he grasped Squall's shoulder so suddenly that he gasped in surprise.His other hand found Squall's neck,reaching up into the sleek mass of hazelnut hair,he leant in closer,his lips inches from Squall's.
(Oh Hyne........I've waited for you............)
Squall shuddered at Zell's touch,his arms sliding around the blonde martial artist's waist,Zell kissed him fiercely,deeply.As if he'd never kissed anyone like this before.......Squall opened his mouth,allowing Zell to explore,he tasted of honey,saccharin sweet against Squall's tongue.
(....Thankyou...........)
Zell drew away,meeting Squall's storm-cloud eyes.........
Squall,brought his hand up to Zell's forehead,stroking his hair,as he'd done at Garden......that same comforting tenderness,made Zell's heart race......
"I......" He stumbled on the words,his cheeks blossoming with a blush.
"I....love you." He finally managed,looking at Squall with fearful eyes.
(Don't reject me............)
"I love you too........since forever." Squall sighed happily,he laid his head against Zell's chest,holding him tightly.
(.......I've waited so long,and now..........)
Zell kissed his cheek and grinned contentedly.They lay,entwined in eachother's arms and watched the setting sun sink beneath the waves.
