Balamb Dream
Chapter 1




Rinoa touched up on her features, she had to look perfect. Squall was making her dinner tonight, which was abnormal for him. He usually never did anything romantic for her, so she was very excited now.
They had a great relationship. In only 2 short months, they had become very close. She really felt something for Squall, and she knew he felt the same. They'' talked so much, and now she knew Squall for who he really was. She'd learned that Squall had a different side. The cold side was a shell, but underneath it was a sweet, caring little boy. When she was around him, he acted more like a normal teenager should. She was very happy for how much he'd changed. His life was a good one now, and she was glad to be involved in it.
She made her way to his room, butterflies fluttering in her stomach, she had no idea what to expect.
She knocked softly, and he answered the door quickly.
"Hey." She said
"Hey, come on in."
She smiled and walked into his room. He'd gotten a new Commander's dorm, which was very nice. He loved all that it came with, and she came over all the time. It was perfect.
She smelled a wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen area. Her mouth began to water as she wondered what it was.
As he led her to the food, she was amazed. It was wonderful, not burned at all. She smiled and looked at him.
"This looks wonderful, Squall."
"Yeah."
She sat down and smiled.
"I...um...I kind of burned the bread. It's still in the kitchen." Squall blushed
Rinoa giggled, "It's okay, I don't care how good the food is. Besides, bread isn't all that important."
Squall nodded and sat beside her.
'That's so cute!' Rinoa thought, 'He was so nervous, he burned the bread!'
"Do you like it?" he asked
Rinoa nodded, swallowing, "It's great. You're a good cook."
"I guess."
She looked at him, "Are you embarrassed?"
"A little." He admitted
"Don't worry. You did a wonderful job."
"Thanks."
The two talked through dinner, happily.
Afterwards, Rinoa helped with the dishes.
"So, how's everything?" She asked
"Alright, I guess. Still bogged down with work."
"Yeah. I don't see much of you anymore."
Squall sighed and dried his hands, "I know, I hate that."
"Maybe you should get a secretary, take the pressure off."
Squall shrugged, "I guess that's not a bad idea."
She smiled, "Good. I hope it works, I want to see you more often."
Squall turned to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "I know."
Rinoa smiled and the two kissed.
