Chapter 9
A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you feed your pussycat
Men grow cold as
Girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut
Or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Squall and Quistis sat on the sofa laughing solidly for half an hour. Why they were laughing was unknown to all around them. Irvine, Selphie and Zell watched as the pair just sat and laughed at each other.
"Were they meant to go this high?" Zell asked Irvine.
"No they weren't, coincidentally," Irvine replied.
"They're gonna be making out by the end of the night," Zell commented.
"What, you mean with just tongues or…" Selphie paused for a second to emphasise her point. Zell looked at her.
"The first one. If they head to the second one then we know we over-did it with the shots," Zell replied. They re-attended their attention to the laughing, drunken pair sitting before them.
"Well…" Selphie began. "At least one good thing came from this."
"What's that?"
"At least they're out having fun."
"Good point."
"Uh oh…Rinoa alert at 4 o'clock!" Irvine suddenly warned, peering over the side and watching as the brunette stepped into the building with her two usual bodyguards. Selphie and Zell saw her too.
"Ah shit if she comes up here there's gonna be an ugly confrontation!" Zell murmured in an alarmed tone.
"We know that!" Irvine replied.
"She's going for the drugs I just know it…" Selphie muttered. The two young men turned to Selphie and gave her an odd look.
"No I don't think so Sephy babe, considering…she's heading this way!" Irvine whispered, his words growing harsher as he came to the end of his sentence. They watched as she came up the stairs and they turned towards her as she stood at the top.
"Rin!" Zell cried, pretending to be happy to see her. "How…great! You're a…fairy…"
"So?" she asked. "You're a Mounty, Selphie is a cheerleader and Irvine is a thug."
"I am not a thug I am a biker!" Irvine corrected her. She nodded solemnly. Zone appeared to be a Slipknot lookey-likey and Watts was a break-dancer.
"Is that Rin?" came Squall's all-too-familiar drunken voice from his place on the sofa. Rinoa turned to her drunken ex and his companion.
"Squall? Is that you in Irvine's hat?" she asked. He nodded happily, as Quistis cuddled Squall, causing Rinoa to screw up her face. Squall got up and walked over to Rinoa.
"How you been?" he asked.
"I've been fine," she replied, a small smile on her face. She looked at Quistis. "Hey, hussy, how are you then?" she called to her.
"I'm good!" she replied. She thought for a moment then added "and don't call me a hussy you tramp!" Rinoa's smile turned into a frown.
"You like my friend?" Squall asked, trying to maintain his balance.
"No, not really," Rinoa replied, once again smiling at Squall.
"Oh…well, I like her. I think she's funny!" Squall replied. A waiter dressed as a tin soldier came up with a tray of straight vodkas. Squall and Quistis each grabbed one and downed it in one shot. They then slammed the glasses back on the tray and took a second. Irvine hinted to the waiter to piss off after Squall and Quistis took a fourth glass. The waiter, taking the message, hustled himself away, while Squall had to sit back down. "Ah shit downing vodka shots is not a fucking good idea," he muttered. Quistis got up and started to play with Rinoa's fairy wings.
"Look at this Squally! She can fly!" she squealed in excitement.
"Quit it!" Rinoa yelled, trying to pull the wings away, but Quistis pulled them off of Rinoa and put them on herself.
"I'm a Gothic fairy! All right!" she cried happily, doing a cartwheel promptly afterwards. Squall clapped.
"Those two are smashed…" Zell muttered. "What's the time?"
"Half 4," Irvine replied. "In the morning."
"Fuckin hell we'd better get those two back to Garden!"
"I swear if they sing, they walk." Irvine grabbed Quistis and Selphie grabbed Squall and they hastily made their way down the stairs to the exit.
"Thanks for the wings fairy lady!" Quistis called to Rinoa.
"Bye bye!" Squall added as he was dragged out of the door. The 3 sober ones shoved Squall and Quistis in the back of the car and immediately voted Zell to stay with them. All the way back to Garden Squall, Quistis and Zell were telling craptastic knock-knock jokes as well as play fighting.
~~***~~
Squall stood on the 2nd floor deck staring out at the plains of Balamb. He had a thundering headache, which he couldn't get rid of to save his life. Had he seriously got that drunk? He couldn't remember a thing from last night. All he could see was a faint image of all the craptastic knock-knock jokes they told in the car. Squall rubbed his head. It hurt like hell. The door behind him opened then closed. Quistis came to his side and smiled.
"I found out something interesting about last night," Quistis said. Squall turned to her, listening attentively. "Apparently, according to Zell, you and I not only stole fairy wings from Rin, but we made out in the back of the car."
"Oh shit!" Squall yelled alarmed. Quistis put a hand on his arm reassuringly.
"It's OK! We didn't have sex! Just…stuck our tongues down each others' throats that's all."
"That's still bad! What if…"
"Seifer finds out? He won't. I'll make sure he doesn't." Quistis continued to reassure Squall. Squall calmed down.
"I…just wanted to…do something…if you wouldn't mind?" Squall asked, rather sheepishly. Quistis smiled.
"Of course, what is it?" she asked, with no idea at all as to what she was getting herself into. Squall leant towards her and kissed her on the lips. Quistis' eyes widened as he put his arms around her. After a little while he pulled himself away.
"Thank you for cheering me up," he said. She blushed and smiled happily.
"No problem! Better not tell Seifer about that one either!" she laughed. He smiled back at her. Neither of them had noticed that the door had been opened and that they were being watched.
"So…Leonhart wants to play ball now does he?" the same dark stranger as before muttered, clenching his fists. "He wants a fight, he's gonna get one."
~~***~~
Squall stood in the Training Centre just watching the world roll by. In the space of a week he'd manage to accomplish one of the things on his to do list: kiss Quistis. He did feel pretty good about it actually.
[Way to go Squall, I reckon she's gonna ditch Seifer soon!] Shiva squealed in delight.
[Nice one!] Diablos agreed with Shiva. Squall snickered.
'You two are on talking terms? Is this love I'm sensing here?' he retorted, continuing to snicker.
[I do not, I repeat NOT, fancy him!] Shiva screamed.
[Yeah Squall! I don't fancy Shiva!] Diablos argued. Squall couldn't stop snickering. This eventually became laughter. Shiva and Diablos started to pout, so Squall calmed down. He thought very carefully about his next move. He really loved Quistis, and he was willing to go through Seifer to prove it. The sound of footsteps was heard from behind him. Squall turned and saw a rather cheery Seifer standing behind him.
"Oh hey Seifer," Squall greeted him. Seifer smiled at him.
[That smile is, like, so fake!] Shiva retorted. [Diablos I don't trust that guy…something's amiss here…]
[Yeah…he's never usually this happy…oh man…what if…] Diablos began to panic.
[What if Seifer knows about the whole thing!? What if Seifer knows that Squall is in love with Quistis? That means…]
[Squall's in big trouble!]
[Seifer's gonna hurt him! SQUALL!] Shiva cried desperately, not knowing that Seifer had secretly cast Silence over Squall, meaning their communication was cut. [SEIFER YOU FUCKING BASTARD!] Shiva yelled. [He's cut us off with Silence! He knows that we know!]
[Oh shit! How will we tell Squall?]
[I dunno…I just hope someone will come help…]
[Let's call Quezacotl and Selphie! They can help!]
[Right! Good idea!] Shiva and Diablos immediately set to work about communicating with Quezacotl, while Squall continued to talk casually to Seifer.
"Squall…I have a question for you…" Seifer began. "Why the fuck are you hitting on my girlfriend!"
"What!" Squall exclaimed.
"I've seen you both, all cuddly and kissing and the like! I saw you kiss her earlier! I've seen all that you've done together! I even set those damned T-Rexaur on you to keep you away from her but still you kept going back!"
"It was you! You tried to kill me! Bastard!"
"I'm killing you now Squall, and don't rely on your little friends Shiva and Diablos to help you. I silenced them for now! And look at this! You haven't got the Lionheart with you! What a pity!" Seifer lunged at Squall, Hypherion in hand, ready to strike. Squall moved to the side and Seifer missed. Seifer continued his relentless assault, blow after blow. Squall soon found himself too weak to even stand up. He lay there defenceless in front of his bitter rival. Seifer smirked evilly. "Goodbye Squall…forever." He raised his Hypherion above his head and brought it down quickly, aiming straight for Squall. Squall just watched in horror as the silver blade made its way towards him. No hope was left. He was going to die.
Of all the places I could've left it I just couldn't resist leaving it here. Will Quezacotl and Selphie get there in time to save Squall? Can Shiva and Diablos even get hold of Quezacotl to enlist in his help? Is there really a romance blossoming between Shiva and Diablos? Find out next time! Oh and by the way the song 'Sparkling Diamonds' was taken from the Moulin Rouge OST. Duh! Later days my people!
