Last Kiss

*Disclaimer* I don't own anything, I'm so bloody poor..

" Even those who are gone

Are with us as we go on

Your journey has only begun

Tears of pain, Tears of Joy

One thing that nothing can destroy

Is our pride deep inside

We are one."

Squall and Rinoa walked into the Rinoa's dorm room. Squall shut the door hard, Rinoa fell down on her knees beside the bed and just cried. They were silent in their tears for some time, finally Squall stood up his eyes blood shut from holding the tears that were surfacing. Rinoa turned her head away from her bed and looked up at Squall. Rinoa stood up slowly, the awkwardness between them gone, the tension all of it was gone. Squall and Rinoa walked quickly toward each other and hugged each other. Rinoa let out a wail into Squall's shoulder, tears pouring down her face. Squall closed his eyes tightly, hugging her. A tear ran down Squall's cheek, as he held onto Rinoa for dear life. She squeezed him tightly, crying on his shoulder. They remained that away for a while, both in desperate need for the other, the tension and the arguing put on hold. After some time, Squall slowly pulled away looking down at Rinoa. Rinoa's eyes were puffy, and red. She looked up toward Squall sniffling slightly. Squall brushed his hand across her face gently, trying to smile for her. She closed her eyes, smiling feeling his hand run across her face. Squall knew this wasn't a physically gesture that he wanted her then and there, but the idea entered his mind slowly . Squall wanted her, right then and there. But how could he be thinking about sex at this time. Damn my raging hormone Squall thought digested with himself. Rinoa sighed and moved away from Squall and sat on the bed. She moved over to the end so there was some room, Squall took the hint and sat down beside her. Rinoa let a out a slow sigh looking at him, frowning.

"Why?" She asked looking at him. He knew what she was asking, why had Alma wanted to kill Zell, why had Alma wanted to take over, why was Alma taking over. There was to many Why's?

" I don't know, Rinoa, I just don't know." He said looking at her, he knew this wasn't what she wanted to hear, she wanted to hear it was going to be ok, Zell would be fine, he was just sleeping. But Squall felt he needed to be honest with her, he needed to make up for the times he wasn't.

"I love you." Squall said nodding. Then stopped, shocked himself. Where the hell did that come from?! He thought quickly, his mind was racing. He was just thinking about how he wanted to be honest, well he was being honest. He did love Rinoa, he always would love Rinoa, but the fact remained this wasn't the time at all. He looked nervously at Rinoa, who looked at shocked as he was.

"I'm Sorr-" Rinoa put a lip to Squall's mouth shaking her head. Then moved closer, her lips meeting his. Squall took a few seconds to jump kick into movement, but when he did, you could tell that he wanted her. Squall placed a hand on the back of Rinoa's neck kicking her passionate, and a little forcefully. Then a thought struck Squall.

"Wait stop.." He breathed, that kiss left Squall feeling confused and dazed. He cleared his throat looking at her directly, he took her hands in his.

"Listen Rinny, I don't want to do this now, you're depressed, I'm depressed. We just lost.." Squall started but didn't want to finish that sentence. He didn't want to think of Zell dead, so he chose not to think of it at all.

"Don't get me wrong!" He started quickly raising his hands looking at the frown on Rinoa's face.

"I love you, I know I do, I just well I wasn't you know, well whatever. I just don't want to do this-" Squall was having a hard time with this, thank god when Rinoa placed a hand over his and nodded slowly.

"I know what you mean, especially since Zell is... no longer with us." She stated nodding her head, Squall saw fresh tears in her eyes. Squall opened his arms and Rinoa plunged into them, crying her eyes out. Squall stroked her hair gently.

"It's ok..." He muttered into her hair. Then Squall raised his eyes up to the door.

"I'll kill Alma, I promise.." He growled deeply into Rinoa's hair.
