Squall and WHO?
by DoomaWriter
Author's Notes: I don't own Final Fantasy VIII, its characters, trademarks, etc. Squaresoft does. And I in no way want to piss off Squaresoft. They'd use their power to crush me and my loved ones.
Well I'm at it again! And this time I'm doing a romance!....Wait, a romance? Okay...um, I'm doing a romance. (I hope I haven't scared any readers away). This is a Squall and Selphie story but it will have a lot more of your favorite cast here and there. I'd also like to note that I put the Humor catagory before Romance for a reason (Think of this first chapter as more of a Humor/Romance/Action Adventure). If you hate comedy I suggest you leave now....you're depressing.

"I'll be here..."
"What...?"
"I'll be 'waiting'...here..."
"I don't care."
"I'll be waiting here...for you...so...If you come here...You'll find me....I promise."
"....Whatever."

Selphie stared up in utter horror. She had went into the Training Center to practice on a few Grats but this was something she hadn't accounted for. Looming over her was the gigantic T-Rexaur. Her trusty nunchaku was the only thing between her and certain death. So she regained her composure, took a step forward and flung one end of her weapon at the dinosaur's face.
The nunchaku smacked into the giant beast's red and black snout. It shook his head and then roared fiercly. Selphie's attack was as devistating as a mosquito bite. T-Rexaur spun around and his tail slammed into its prey's leg, sending her to fly backward and to skid across the ground.
"Owchie," Selphie said, picking her face up out of the dirt. She tried to stand up but as she put weight on her leg an acute pain rushed through her and she buckled down to the ground. Now, Selphie could only look up at the vicious beast and await immenant death. She saw T-Rexaur bend down, bringing his snout closer and closer.
Suddenly, a dark blur flew into view. Black boots touched the ground, seperating T-Rexaur from Selphie. A figure dressed in black pants and a short black jacket over a white shirt stood in attack position with his back to the girl. His body flared up and he sprinted straight toward the monster. He lept into the air and with blade in hand, delivered several slashes. One to the left leg, stomach, chest, and after a blackflip over the beast's head, a blow which came straight down. As each one hit, the sound of gunshots could be heard.
T-Rexaur fell to the ground with its wounds bleeding. The figure thrusted his sword down and the blood flew off his wapon and onto the ground. He rested it on his shoulder and turned to look upon Selphie. "What are you doing here!?" he barked. The scar upon his face was now visable.
"Squall!" Selphie said as she got a clear vision of her rescuer. "I wanted to train, b-but I-"
"Why didn't you run!? You know how dangerous one of these things are?"
"My leg's broken. I can't run."
Squall sighed. "...Figures." He sheathed his gunblade and began to walk toward Selphie...and then past Selphie and towards the exit.
"You're not going to leave me in here like this are you?" Selphie asked, rubbing her leg. "How do you expect me to get to the infirmary?"
"You still have another leg, don't you? Hop." Squall's leisure stroll was interrupted by the sudden meeting of a rock with the back of his skull. He turned around and glared at the wounded one. "What do you want me to do, drag you!?"
"You can carry me on your back, you jerk!"
"You've got to be kidding! I wouldn't be seen dead with your useless-" Squall's words stopped and his eyes widened. His feet picked up its pace and he skidded to a hault in front of Selphie. He spun around displaying his back to her and bent down. "Quickly! Get on!"
*He-he changed his mind?* Selphie thought. *He looked at me with wide eyes and rushed over to me! Why?* As she tried to decipher the enigma mentally, her arms wrapped around Squall's shoulders. When she was secure, Squall began to rush as fast as he could. *He really cares about me.* Selphie's face began to grow red.
Meanwhile, in reality, Squall was kicking it into high gear because the T- Rexaur had gotten back up and began to give chase. *Odd, usually by now she'd be screaming her head off.* Squall thought. *Whatever, as long as she's quiet. I can't believe I'm doing this! But if I leave her to die I know I'll have to go to some boring ceremony in her honor*.
As he ran, every now and then Squall would hop over a Grat as if the carnivorous plant were a hurtle. He didn't have time to waste on such trivial things, there was a monster right behind him. A real one. Squall ducked under a fallen log which T-Rexaur meerly smashed through. Squall lept through the exit and the metal doors slammed shut, inches away from the dinosaur's jaws.
"End of the line," Squall said while breathing heavily as he bent down to let Selphie off.
"What?" Selphie said, snapping out of her deep thought (or at least as deep as Selphie's thinking gets). "I told you, my leg's broken!"
"And I told you, it's not my problem."
"C'mon!"
"No, I have things to do."
"Like what!?" Selphie yelled, calling his bluff.
"Sleeping, eating, more sleeping, the usual."
"You meanie Squall! The least you could do is take me to the infirmary! I mean, its not that far and it'd only take a moment! I can't believe you'd..."
The rest was nothing but loud rambling to Squall's ears. He sighed because he had set her off and that Selphie could go on and on for who know's how long. Fighting the urge to slice, Squall turned to her and yelled, "OKAY!! Just stop it with your whining already!"
Selphie grinned a big grin and her mood did a complete 180. "Yay! Thank you, Squall! You're so kind!"
One of Squall's eyes began to twitch and he had to fight to keep his hand away from his gunblade. If there was one thing he couldn't stand it was a loud person. Squall would of agreed to just about anything if it'd get her to shut up.
Once again, Selphie took her place on Squall's back and they headed out of the Training Center hallway. "Hey, Squall," Selphie began again. "I can't think with all that muttering. Would you mind cutting that out? Thanks!"
Squall's eyes twitched faster and his teeth gritted. *Alright, I suppose I can live knowing that I actually agreed to helping Selphie. But please, if you're looking out for me, God, don't allow anyone see me like this.*

As the two exited the Training Center, their way was instantly blocked by a small group of people. Selphie looked at them indifferently but she could see that Squall was more depressed than usual. "Why me?" he said to himself. "Out of all the students and faculty that go to Balamb Garden...why them?"
"Well, well, well, would you look at the tender moment?" said Seifer, staring at the two. And of course by his side were Raijin and Fujin. Raijin and Seifer both began laughing and pointing at the two as loud as their bodies could. Fujin just stood there, staring. Staring with that creepy eye of hers.

Author's notes: Not the best start for those two, eh? Well, for those of you who thought that there was too much action to be a romance story, don't fret.That's about all the action I have planned for a long time. In Chapter 2, expect to see how Seifer and company handles seeing Squall with Selphie on his back.
By the way, reviews help keep Squall from killing people. Well not really, but they'd be nice.
