Magical Secrets

Chapter 7: Balcony kisses

Disclaimer:

I still don't have any of them. Boo hoo. I can still hope though.

Warning:

A little bit of mild language, some mushy love parts, mild yaoi later on (Don't like Yaoi? Leave please), and lots and lots of Rinoa bashing!

Enjoy!

Zell walked into the secret area and looked around. Luckily everyone had cleared out of here. The sun had just set and it was begining to cool down but it didn't matter to Zell. This was the place he chose to come everytime he needed to think. And this was one of those times.

He still was having a hard time believing that Squall was not only a sorcerer, but probably the most powerful of all time. Then there was the fact that Squall never told them until just now. And Zell was his second in command for Hyne's sake!

"You'll get a cold if you stay out here too long." A soft voice startled Zell. He turned around to see Quistis standing there in a pair of jeans and one of his sweat shirts.

"I know, Angel. But there is too much I have to think about right now." replied Zell as he turned back around. Quistis sighed at Zell's stubornness and walked over beside him. Zell felt her presence and wrapped an arm around her shoulders protectively.

"At least you can control your temper now." Quistis had a a slight laugh to her voice as they watched the faint hue of the Garden cast a mysterious glow over the surrounding area. For about the last 3 months, the Garden had been parked in it's orginial spot on Balamb.

"Thanks for being patient with me." Whispered Zell, completely changing his mood as he nuzzled his face into Quistis' hair, taking in the flower scented shampoo.

"What can I say? You're too comfortable to give up." She giggled.

Zell chuckled, then looked back over at Garden. "We should come out here more often. It's really peaceful."

"I know. This is where I first told Squall about not being an instructor anymore and he blew me right off."

"But you have your license back now, so does it really matter?" Zell asked then placed a soft kiss on her forehead, not really wanting to talk about Squall at the moment.

"I guess not. But speaking of Squall, I think you should apologize to him." Quistis replied, then wrapped her arm around Zell's back and gave him a gentle squeeze. "He's not mad at you, just confused."

"I know. But I just can't understand why he never told us before now."

"But I can see where Squall is coming from though."

"Huh?" Zell asked, wondering what his girlfriend was not telling him.

"I mean, if you were a sorcerer and the only life you knew was to kill the sorceress, would you reveal your powers?"

"I guess not. But Squall is the best goddamn SeeD ever to come out of Garden. They are not going to just kill him." argued Zell.

"That's what I said." sighed Quistis. Everything that happened tonight was a lot to take in. "But remember. A SeeD's job is to eliminate the threat of a sorceress. Even though everyone knows him, not everyone will be willing to spare his life."

"Oh. So how is this suppose to help with the blackouts?"

"First you have to promise me that you'll talk to Squall about this soon." she insisted, with a slight smile.

"Fine. I promise." chuckled Zell, then he pulled Quistis in a tight hug. "I'll talk to him in the morning. He probably is still tired."

"Good." she stole a soft kiss then continued. "I think the only thing we can do is find his knight."

"But we don't know who it is. Did Squall tell you anything?"

" Just that he hasn't seen his knight for nearly a year, and that he may not even want to see his knight again."

"Why not?"

"He never said. Maybe there's some bad blood. Who knows." she shrugged, snuggling closer to Zell.

"Well, I'm sure that everything can wait until morning." Zell had a smile on his face as he leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on Quistis soft lips. Quistis looked into Zell's sapphire eyes. The glow from Garden gave them a calm aura and made them sparkle. Smiling a school girl grin, Quistis wrapped her arms around Zell's neck and pulled him in for another, more passionate kiss.

Just before their lips touched, a loud noise startled the two blondes. Both still holding one another, they looked over at Garden, only to see a Firaga spell shoot out of a window.

"Odd. That's the office area." Zell mentioned. As they watched on, a powerful Ultima spell lit up the area.

Quistis and Zell both froze, then looked at each other.

"Squall!" they said in unison and took off running as fast as they could towards the office they left Squall in.
