'Ma! I'm home!' Zell called as the four of us casually walked into
the tiny living room. Suddenly an older woman stepped out of the kitchen,
rubbing her hands with a tea towel.
'Zell! What a pleasant surprise!' she hugged Zell and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
'Ma, not in front of everyone,' Zell muttered, rubbing at the area Mrs.Dincht had kissed him with a gloved hand. Mrs.Dincht chuckled and opened her arms and pulled Selphie and Irvine into a tight hug.
'Selphie! Irvine! my dears, its been far too long!' she said then pulled away from them, smiling affectionately. She then turned to me, a curious glint in her eyes.
'And who's this, I don't believe I've ever met her before,' she said, looking me up and down, a warm and friendly smile on her face. I stepped forward and extended my hand to her.
'My names Leona, Leona Chaplin,' I said. Mrs.Dincht took my hand and shook it.
'Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Leona. Have you been at Garden long?' she asked.
'No Ma, Leona well,' Zell started, absently rubbing his tattoo. I knew what he wanted to say but he was afraid to say it.
'To sum it all up I fell form the sky and came form another world,' I said, chuckling slightly.
'Whoa, you cant pull that one on me, no really, where ya from? Galbadia? Timber? Dollet maybe?' she asked again. I chuckled and held my palms up to the ceiling.
'I'm dead serious, right guys?' I asked, turning around to face them. They all nodded.
'We know it's a little hard to believe but it's the truth. Apparently, its happened before too!' Selphie said then put a hand to her stomach when we all heard it growl.
'Well, this is indeed something out of the ordinary but hey, I enjoy a little zest in my life!' Mrs.Dincht said, now pulling me into a tight hug, 'I'm glad your ok and I do hope your enjoying your stay here.'
'Oh I am, Zell and the others have made it VERY enjoyable,' I said, following her into another room. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Zell grin at me then head up the staircase. I shrugged and sat down on a very comfy couch, my body practically melting into the cushions.
'Well, I'll get some lunch in here for you guys,' Mrs. Dincht said and winked at Selphie, 'don't think I didn't hear that tummy of yours growl, missy!'
Selphie giggled.
'I know, your pretty sharp, Ma,' Selphie said affectionately. Mrs.Dincht (or Ma as the others would call her) tilted her had back and laughed, heading back towards the kitchen. I smiled and turned to Irvine and Selphie just as Irvine tugged Selphie into his lap.
'Why do you guys call her Ma if she's only Zell's Mom?' I asked, intrigued by the great affection Mrs.Dincht and the others shared. Irvine waved it off and grinned lazily, squeezing Selphie tighter.
'We've just known her for a while now and she's such a kind woman,' Irvine explained. Selphie decided to add more on to what Irvine had already said.
'Yeah, and plus since most of us don't really have parents, besides Squall and Zell that is, Ma Dincht has basically filled that void. Of course, Matron has too but we don't see her as much as we see Ma, Matrons down at the orphanage now.'
'Whoa, far too much information just got stored in my brain that I didn't understand!' I stated, laughing, 'first things first, none of you have parents besides Zell and squall?'
Selphie and Irvine nodded.
'Yeah, we all grew up at an orphanage together, including Zell and squall,' she explained.
'Then why do they have parents and you guys don't?' I asked.
'Well, obviously Zell got adopted by the Dincht family, and well Squall,' Irvine started then sighed, 'He and his father don't exactly have a loving 'father, son' relationship but they are of the same blood.'
'Who's Squall's father?' I asked, man, they must have felt like I was some interrogator!
'His names Laguna. To make a long story short basically we met Laguna while in Esthar but had been connected to him by the past. Please, don't ask any more questions on that subject though, Leona. Is just would take waaaay too long to explain it all. at least right now anyways,' Selphie said then smiled, 'ask me another time, ok?'
'Yeah sure, just one more question,' I said, leaning forward in my seat.
'What's that then?' Irvine asked, nuzzling his face into Selphie's neck.
'Who's matron?'
'Oh, she owns the orphanage and raised us until we were all adopted or were old enough to leave. She also was the one who thought up Garden and SeeDs. See, she was a sorceress herself and she knew what past sorceresses were like and how they had forced so many children to become orphans. So, since she knew one day she could very well do the same thing as the past sorceresses she came up with Garden which would train SeeDs that fought against the sorceress,' Selphie said then grinned, 'whoa that was a mouthful.'
'I'll say. Well, I don't quite fully understand all of that but that's ok, I get the main gist of it all,' I said. Mrs.Dincht walked in and placed a tray of drinks down for us on the tiny coffee table.
'There ya go dears, I know its hot outside so drink up! Don't want any of ya to get sick from dehydration!' she said well heartedly.
I smiled up at her, 'thank you Mrs. Dincht.'
'Hun, call me Ma, everyone else does,' she said, giving me the same affectionate smile she seemed to give everyone, ' and you're welcome, its my pleasure.' And with that she went back towards the kitchen. I figured she was probably still preparing lunch for us all. I took a sip of the drink and realized it was iced tea. Man, it felt refreshing; I always had enjoyed a nice cold iced tea on a hot day. I put my drink back down and looked over to see Irvine and Selphie sharing a deep kiss. I couldn't help but feel out of place so I quietly stood up and left, leaving the two alone.
'Whatcha doing love?' Ma Dincht asked, poking her head out of the tiny kitchen. I stood in the doorway and peeked inside. Ma was preparing sandwiches for us and it looked lik she was making every kind you could think of!
'Wow! This looks fabulous! You must be a fantastic cook,' I complimented. Ma Dincht smiled and waved it off.
'Just a hobby of mine dear,' she put the knife she was chopping some tomatoes up with down and turned around to smile at me, 'why aren't you in the living room with Selphie and Irvine?"
I opened my mouth to answer when she put a hand up and shook her head, letting out a slight chuckle.
'Let me guess, they're lip locked?'
I giggled and nodded.
'Yeah well, why don't ya go upstairs? I think Zell's up there, maybe he'll give you a tour of his room or something!' she said, pointing a finger up to the ceiling.
'Ok, but do you think Zell will mind?' I asked nervously.
'Nah, my Zell is the most laid back boy out there,' she said and turned back to the food. I took that as my cue to go and I headed up the stairs, each step creaking slightly from my weight. Well, I didn't weigh THAT much, I think they were just well used stairs. Heck, if Zell had lived in this house for most of his life they had to be! I could almost picture him running around as a small boy and~
'Ouch!' I hissed as I smacked into something. I assumed it had been a wall or a post or something, just like always but I was surprised to see a concerned Zell looking into my face. I blushed slightly and moved away, just a tiny bit.
'You ok?' he asked.
'Yeah, sorry for walking into you, my mind was ah,' I smiled sheepishly, remembering exactly where my mind was off at that time, 'temporarily unavailable,' I said, chuckling nervously. Zell smiled and it was then that I noticed he was only in a towel! Oooook, breathe Leona, breathe. Deep breaths, in and out in and out in and~
'Leona, you're spacing out on me again,' Zell said, flashing me a grin. I blushed and rubbed my forehead with two of my fingers, something I usually did when I got nervous or something silly like that.
'Uh, s-sorry Zell, just kinda got distracted by, ah, ahem,' I coughed and focused on my shoes. Zell seemed to realize what was making me nervous and put a hand to the back of his head as he leaned forward then straightened again.
'Ah sorry, you just caught me coming out of the shower. I didn't mean to sneak off the way I did down there but I felt well, kinda sweaty if ya know what I mean,' he said. I nodded; I could go for a cold shower right now. And no, it wasn't because of the heat.
'Well, I'll head back downstairs then,' I said, swinging my arms then turned and started to make my way down the stairs when Zell called my name. I turned around and caught a glimpse of his hard looking abs and his toned chest. Oh god, was I drooling? Please I hope not!
'Y-you can wait out by my room, I only need a s-second to change,' he stammered, a blush creeping up on him. Oh my god, he looked so adorable when he blushed. Oh hell, Zell looked adorable all the time! I nodded mutely as my response and followed him down the tiny corridor and waited outside his door as he stepped in, shutting it behind him. I leaned against the wall; slight sounds of fabric and the clinking of buckles could be heard. After about five minutes Zell re-opened the door and motioned for me to come in. his room wasn't that amazing, more tidy than I would have guessed but hey, I guess Zell was just unpredictable. And I liked that. I walked over to the punching bag hanging from the wall and gave it a jab. It was pretty hard, harder than some of the ones that I had used but I figured Zell probably liked it that way.
'This is my T-board!' Zell said, enthusiastically picking up the board that was leaning up against his wall. I smiled as he pressed a button and it suddenly started floating.
'Whoa, that's so neat!' I said, my eyes widening.
'Wanna give it a go?' he asked, cocking his head at it.
'Oh I dunno Zell, I'll probably fly it through a wall or something,' I warned, stepping away a bit.
'Tch, you think I'd actually let you fly it? Nah, I meant you could stand on it, see how good your balance is,' he explained. I looked at him skeptically then slowly walked back towards him, taking his hand as he helped me climb up onto the hovering board. It wobbled a bit and I let out a small cry of fear then I was suddenly on it, Zell's hand steadying me.
'Hey, this is pretty cool!' I said then grinned at Zell, 'even if I am just floating in one spot.'
'Yeah well, like you said, I wouldn't want ya going through a wall or anything!'
'I was over exaggerating! I'm sure I could handle it!' I protested, the T-board seeming more and more fun with every second I stood on it. I shifted my weight forward a bit and suddenly the T-board flew forward, colliding into Zell's bed.
'Whoa, Leona! Don't do that ok? Don't want you getting hurt,' Zell said, lifting me into his arms and off the T-board, 'one of these days I'll take you out into the plains of Balamb and you can ride around, hazard free all you want.'
'Unless a monster attacks,' I said.
'Well yah, but knowing you you'd probably run it down before it had a chance to escape!' Zell chuckled. I punched him in the arm lightly and the two of us smiled at each other. God, he really was handsome. I wonder if he thought I was pretty? I shook the thought out of my head and walked over to his dresser, looking at the pictures on it.
'Who's this?' I asked, picking one up to look at the old man holding a rifle in the picture. Zell walked up behind me and reached over, picking up the other framed picture.
'That's my grandpa, he was a soldier,' he explained, affectionately looking down at the photo he was looking at, 'he was the reason I became a SeeD.'
'Ah I see, well, he would be very proud of you now Zell,' I said, gently putting the picture back down onto the dresser. Zell did the same with the one he was holding and sighed.
'Yeah, I miss him, ya know?'
'Yeah, I mean, I haven't lost anyone close to me but I understand just how hard it is to lose someone you love,' I said, turning so I faced Zell.
'Well, in a way you've lost your family,' Zell said as I looked away sadly. He then closed his eyes and put a hand to his forehead, irritation creasing his handsome face.
'Zell, what's wrong?' I asked, gently putting a hand on his arm.
'Its nothing about you, Leona, I'm sorry for bringing that up,' he said, his shoulders slumping slightly, 'I always seem to say the wrong things at the wrong time,' he muttered softly and sat down on his bed. I put a hand to my throat and shook my head.
'No you don't, at least, I don't think so,' I said, walking over and sitting on his bed beside him.
'Heh, thanks Leona but, I dunno, all my life it seemed like I never thought things through enough, like I always jumped right at things instead of considering the consequences,' he said sadly and shook his head, 'I nearly got Garden in a lot of trouble cause I didn't keep my trap shut once.'
'Zell, I'm sure that was an accident,' I assured, taking his hand into mine and giving it a comforting squeeze. Zell smiled and let out a breath.
'Thanks for saying that, Leona.'
'Hey no problem Zell. I think we all have blurted or just said something in our lives that we didn't mean to say at all,' I assured, 'I know I have anyways. Hell, I remember waaay back when I was in kindergarten and I treated this one little girl badly just cause she had a speaking impediment. I made fun of her just because she was different and now that I look back on it she really was a nice girl and she didn't deserve the mean things I had said to her.'
'Yeah, I guess I understand what your saying,' Zell said, turning so his face was level with mine. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders slightly when suddenly Zell reached over, gently cupped my face in his hands and brought his lips to mine. Oh my god, oh my god, he was kissing me! At first I was a little afraid to kiss back, a little shocked by his actions but when if felt him pulling away I kissed him back. God his lips were so soft, ugh, I hopped my awful chapped lips weren't bothering him! But then again, they weren't that chapped, I think I was just worrying too much. Just as the two of us were really getting into the kiss his mother called us from downstairs.
'Come on you two! Lunch is ready!'
Zell and I pulled away as if we had burned each other, muttering apologies.
'W-we better head back downstairs,' he stammered, his cheeks painted with the darkest blush I'd ever seen.
'Y-yeah, I think so too,' I agreed, my face flushing probably as dark as his. The two of us stood up from his bed and made our way down the stairs. I still couldn't believe it; I had just kissed Zell Dincht!
A/N: Love it? Hate it? Review and let me know please! Anyways, sorry it took so long to get this chapter up! working on another fic as well but I hope this chapter was enjoyable! I sure as hell enjoyed writing it! Anyhoo, I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can! Promise!
