Part five
Quisty's note: BIG HIYAZ to all who've supported me throughout writing this fic. The first ones are always hard, but it's been easier. Don't mind me, I just can't get over how nice people have been to me. Normally I get criticism from my family but to get nice comments from people like you is fabulous! Part five especially for Alonia, who's trying to broaden her horizons and good on her! *Huggles Alonia tightly* and for my best mate and she knows who she is! OK I've bored you all silly for long enough, lets get story started now! PS in this chapter you'll start to understand why I gave it an `R' instead of a `PG-13' ...aahh...
Chapter 5 My companion
To my great surprise Seifer's home was quite well furnished. It looked really homey and cosy. I noticed Raijin running through the hallway with a fishing pole.
"Give it up Raijin. You caught fish ONCE," Seifer sighed. Raijin smirked proudly.
"I did it once I can do it again, ya know!" he replied triumphantly before heading out of the door and to the harbour. Seifer pointed to a chair, indicating that I could sit down. I sat down, and despite the comfort of the chair I still felt a deep discomfort being there.
"Instructor...you gonna tell me what happened this afternoon?" he asked, sitting himself in a chair next to mine. I nodded.
"Well...I...was caught in an awkward situation with Squall...by Rinoa..." I started. The nervousness showed on my face as I bit my lip.
"Awkward...as in...close "yeah baby" awkward or misunderstood awkward?" Seifer asked.
"The first one," I replied, feeling my face heat up and turn pink. Seifer's eyes widened.
"You weren't caught...doing...you know..." he asked, very carefully. I shook my head.
"No! I wouldn't do that!" I replied hurriedly. Seifer nodded.
"So you were kissing him..." Seifer began.
"No, he kissed me, and she saw it," I interrupted. I realised what I'd just done and clamped one hand over my mouth. Seifer nodded at me with a smile on his face.
"Ah...I know how close Rinoa is to him...she's stuck to him like glue...I don't suppose Squall's too fond of this?" he asked.
"No...just before you came to the party he dumped her," I replied. Seifer sighed.
"Typical Squall...he can be so heartless at times," Seifer commented. I nodded in agreement. "All I can suggest for you is to follow your heart. That way you'll always be doing what's right." I was a little surprised at what Seifer had just said. The once heartless, ruthless knight had become a dictator of truth. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice outside. It was Zell.
"Yo, have you guys seen Quistis around here? She ran out of Garden in such a hurry," he said.
"I think she's at Seifer's," someone replied.
"Fuck it," I cursed.
"Language instructor..." Seifer shook his head at me.
"Weren't you the one calling Squall a fucker Seifer?" I replied matter-of-factly.
"That isn't the point," he replied. "You'd better go before the whole of SeeD comes on a man hunt for you!" I laughed at him and nodded. He kissed my cheek gently just as I was about to leave. "Don't forget me, friend," he said softly. I swallowed hard.
"I won't," I said before I left. I ran up to Zell.
"Instructor! You're here!" Zell said happily. "I'm so pleased to see you! Squall's lost it!" my heart skipped a beat.
"What?" I asked slowly.
"He just went into meltdown the moment you left Garden. He was in the Training Centre last time I saw him. He's completely unstable, you're the only one he'll listen to." My heart started to feel heavy. I followed Zell back to Garden and I went into the Training Centre. He had definitely lost his mind. He was running around killing anything that moved. Neither Grat nor T-Rexaur stood a chance against him in this state.
"Squall!" I cried out to him but he didn't answer me. He continued to fight without conduct. I thankfully had my Save the Queen in case push came to shove. I ran up to him and grabbed his shoulders. "Squall listen to me! Stop being such a fool!" I cried, but he shoved me aside and resumed. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. How could I get through to him? I ran into his path and flung my arms around him. "Squall I love you!" I sobbed. "I love you so much! Please don't leave me! I need you here with me! Don't go! Don't go!" the tears were now streaming down my face. I was desperate to reach him, and if I had to tell him exactly how I felt to do that then so be it. I felt something cold fall onto my forehead. I looked up at Squall's pale face and saw tears falling from his eyes.
"Quistis..." he said slowly. I nodded and held him as close to me as I could, the tears still flowing out, turning my face cold white. I felt his hand underneath my chin as he lifted my face up to his. He smiled in between his tears. "I won't leave you...I promise I won't leave you..." he said quietly. We then kissed each other. His lips were warm and gentle, just like they had been the first time. Some things never change with Squall. For the first time, I felt safe and happy in his embrace.
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for love
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
Chorus from Shania Twain: You're still the one
I can't really put into words how I felt in those minutes we were there. I felt like he was one with me, like we were so close that maybe we'd fall. But we never fell. We stayed there, captured in that moment for what felt like an eternity, but it was an eternity I wanted to stay in. Then, both our knees buckled and we ended up on the floor of the Training Centre. One on top of the other, entrapped in a romantic web of some kind. I didn't realise until later that Zell, Selphie, Irvine and Rinoa had watched the whole thing from a distance.
According to Irvine Zell had asked him what this all meant. Irvine had smiled back at him and simply told him that it was love, that I had risked my life for the sake of love. Rinoa had kept a quiet vigil over us as we lay there.
We stopped and looked at each other.
"You said you loved me..." Squall said softly. "Did you mean it?" I felt like sobbing again but I persevered.
"Of course I did," I replied. "I meant it then, I mean it now." He brought his face up close to mine.
"That's the first time someone has said that and it felt like they meant it," he replied. We kissed again. This must've got Rinoa steamed. We eventually got up out of the dirt and cleaned ourselves off. Squall insisted on escorting me back to my room after all the trouble. We had never talked together so much in a small space of time in our lives. We continued talking in my room. Me made the most stupid jokes about Zell's `piling of the Hot Dogs' trick at the party. It had me falling on my bed with laughter. Squall then sat with me and looked down onto my happy face. I thought I'd seen every move Squall would ever pull off, but I was wrong. I didn't anticipate what was about to happen. Squall started to unbutton my SeeD uniform jacket. My heart began racing. I had an odd feeling that things would get physical very soon, and I was right. I eventually found myself in just my underwear, but even that didn't last long. I just fell. I fell straight into him. Nothing stopping us.
Nothing in our way. I felt closer to him than ever before. We were of one body, one mind. And I couldn't help but will it to continue.
It's in the way you want me
It's in the way you hold me
The way you show me just what love's made of
It's in the way we make love
It's just the way you are
Chorus to Shania Twain: You've got a way
Yes, if you didn't guess already, I was listening to Shania Twain whilst writing this. Perfect time to say: Me no own none of her songs. They all owned by Mercury records and Ms Twain herself. Bless her.
That last part was tricky to write, but I did it! (I hope) It won't get any worse in the next chapter, all will calm down. Me and my mind! Me one crazy British teen. Go England! ^-^ Anyways...part six should be up really soon. What a Ker-razy world we live in!
