Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I don't own FF8, and Put Your Arms Around Me is by Texas
Are you ready maybe Are you willing to run Are you ready to let yourself drown Are you holding your breath Are you ready or not
Are you ready maybe Do you long to confess Do you feel that you're already numb Are you sure of yourself Would you lie if you're not
You tire me out Don't wanna let that happen A secret scream so loud Why did you let that happen
Ooh ooh so put your arms around me You let me believe that you are someone else Ooh ooh cause only time can take you So let me believe That I am someone else
Maybe, are you ready to break Do you think that I push you too far Would you open yourself Are you reckless or not
You tire me out Don't wanna let that happen A secret scream so loud Why did you let that happen
Ooh ooh so put your arms around me You let me believe that you are someone else Ooh ooh cause only time can take you So let me believe That I am someone else That I am someone else
"Squall. Try to relax. Please."
"I can't."
"No matter how much you pace up and down, worrying about what will happen, we won't reach Balamb any quicker. It's out of your hands now."
"Hmph." Squall continued pacing.
"It's true, you can't do anything right now. You just have to be patient."
"I hate this."
"Feeling helpless?" Squall looked over at her.
"You know me too well."
"I'm afraid I do. There are times when everyone feels helpless. Right now, we all feel helpless. We're worried about Balamb but there's nothing we can do until we get there."
"I'll find something to do. I must be able to help."
"Not by pacing up and down your room you won't." She put her hands on her hips and tried her best to look annoyed at him. "Now follow me. I have a surprise planned."
"What is it?"
"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise would it?" She grabbed his hand and led him reluctantly out of his dorm.
"What are we doing here?"
"You'll see."
"I don't like surprises."
"You'll like this one. I promise." She led him into the ballroom, which was lit by a single spotlight in the middle of the room. She placed him in the centre of the light, while she headed to the edges of the room and switched the tape player on. "I just thought you could do with relaxing a little," she explained, joining him in the centre of the stage as the music began to play.
"Waltz for the Moon." He smiled.
"See, I told you you'd like it."
"Fine. You win," he conceded, taking her hand and beginning to dance.
"I always win," she gloated, smiling back at him. "You really need to learn to relax though," she said, suddenly turning serious. "I worry about you."
"You shouldn't. I've always been like this."
"And were you always happy?" Squall had no answer to this. "I didn't think so."
"Rinoa. I'm happy now. That's what matters."
"That's because you're finally beginning to relax."
"No, it's because of you. I love you, Rinoa. If I'm with you then I'm happy."
"Thank you," she said as Squall held her tight in his arms at the end of the dance.
"Come on. Let's go out on to the balcony."
"Good idea." She followed him outside, glad to feel the cool sea breeze brush her face, despite it being cold. Squall noticed her shivering and took of his jacket, placing it over her shoulders.
"You still cold?"
"A little," she admitted. He put both of his arms around her and held her tight.
"That better?"
"Yes. Thank you." She stood up on her tip-toes about to kiss Squall, when an announcement came over the PA.
"Could Commander Leonhart please come to the bridge. We are now approaching Balamb."
"I'm sorry, I have to go."
