Quistis looked at the two men, her heart thumping against her rib cage. She was so tense and nervous, this was the most important decision of her life.
"Whose it gonna be?" Irvine drawled looking rather smug. Quistis chewed on her lip for a few more moments before taking a deep breath. Her eyes slid from one to the other, looking at each of them for one long excruciating moment.
"Neither" Quistis at last blurted out, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. The two men looked at her dumbfounded, the color positively drained from Irvine's face. All she saw on Seifer's face was fury.
"Squall" spat Seifer more rage contained in that one word that Quistis had ever seen. The blond former Instructor simply nodded her head and fled the clearing. Leaving the two of them behind she fought not to look back. This was what she wanted, what she always wanted.,
She rushed towards the Orphanage, trying not to cry. Quistis burst into the room and ran right into Squall. She stopped looking up at him tears in her eyes, this was all wrong. This was supposed to be romantic and beautiful. Not tear stained and painful.
"Quist, what is it?" he asked frowning. He put a soft hand on her shoulder.
"I love you" she said finally allowing herself to say it. Squall looked week in the knees for a moment before catching himself on the wall.
"I need a smoke" he said pulling the pack from his inner jacket pocket and lighting it up. She watched his lips as he took a long drag from the cigarette. How many years she had dreamed of kissing those frowning lips. She could bring happiness into his life, she knew it. If only he would let her in.
"Love me, Squall. I could be so much more to you then that ditzy girl" Quistis said desperation in her voice. She meant it, she knew she could be.
"Quistis-" Squall started. She interrupted him taking the smoke from his hand and taking a long drag. She blew it out and shook her head as she handed it back. Her hands were shaking, her whole body was shaking.
"I am more of a woman then she can ever be" Quistis said.
Squall looked down at her for a long moment. He moved closer to her, his breath tickling her face. Then he kissed her suddenly. She blinked in shock and then fell into his arms. His lips were soft and dry, she curled her fingers around the brown hair at the nape of his neck.
At last her dreams were coming true, the story of her life was only beginning.
