The ring of love

By amber

Squall woke up with a start. "Today's the big day, Leonhart. Better get yourself ready." He thought. There, on his bedside table, was a velvet box. He reached for it and make sure the ring is still in there. The Griever. The ring he treasured most. The ring that was shared between him and his beloved, Rinoa Heartily.

***Flashback***
"Squall, sorry to keep this so long. It's time for it to return to you," said Rinoa as she gently place the ring on Squall's palm. Squall's heart dropped. "Had she decided to return to Seifer?" Squall frowned.
Rinoa smiled at him. Head on his broad shoulder, she whispered, "you are now by my side, it's 100 times better than only having a ring. I only need you." Squall smiled, the rare smile. "You are all that I need," he thought. ***End Flashback***

" That's how you came back to me, Griever," smiled Squall.

***Flashback*** Squall have been planning for a day and finding a perfect ring to propose to Rinoa. He had asked many of his friends, even Seifer. None of their suggestions satisfy him. He walked through every jewellery shop he can find. None of them provide a perfect ring either. Finally he gave up and plans to go back. Suddenly, the thought of the flower field strikes him. " That's it! That's the place, the flower field, I'm going to propose to Rin." For the first time in his lifetime, he actually felt good; felt that he did something great, felt excited. " Now, for the perfect ring." Squall thought as he drives back to Balamb. He needs something that is memorable. Something that can touch Rin's heart. His head suddenly hurts. Clenching his head, a cool feeling brush across his forehead, making him feel better. (Ah ha, got the hint?) The next thing he did was to kiss the ring he had for years. " You are going back to Rin again and be ours forever." ***End Flashback***

Squall makes sure he's perfectly neat and acceptable. He had agreed to meet Rinoa at the flower field. He looked into his mirror, butterflies formed in his stomach. "You are going to make it, Leonhart," he said as he walked out of his room, feeling as eager and nervous. Today's the day.

~* How's it? I need comments. I'll be updating the second chap: Will Rin agree to the Squall's wife? Watch and see.
