Take her to the Pet Store.

Irvine Kinneas grinned as he watched Selphie Tilmitt bounce excitedly along the line of cages. 'Awww they're so cute.' She cooed as she looked at some small fluffy bunny rabbits.

Irvine was thinking the same but the object of his thoughts wasn't bunnies but the girl behind the counter and her assistant.

He tried to shake the thought from his head and look back at Selphie as she tried to pet the animals. He knew he was doing it more often now even though he and Selphie were finally an item. He had thought he could stop his flirting, that he could only have eyes for Selphie but he found it wasn't true. He knew it would break Selphie's heart to know he was still tipping his hat and winking at the hunnies in Garden, he couldn't even stop it with Selphie right there.

It wasn't as if he got a thrill of doing something forbidden, it was just the way he was, it was what he had done for as long as he'd started to be attractive to girls. He told people it was his way of coping with the aspects of being a sniper but in reality it was a way of making himself feel good, take away the hollowness inside after they had all left him at the orphanage, not even remembering him. The flirting got him noticed, brought people closer to him.

'But I shouldn't need it. I have Selphie now' he reasoned with himself.

He sighed softly. Selphie had been his fondest childhood memory and was amazed to find what a beautiful young woman she had become when fate threw them back together.

'Hey Irvy, you okay?' Selphie asked tilting her head up to look into his eyes.

'Yeah just thinking.' Irvine replied giving her a dazzling smile.

'Oooh must hurt!' she told him playfully.

'So we ready to go?' he asked slipping his arms around her waist gently squeezing.

'Yep.' She replied and energetically bounced out of the shop.

They took the train back to Balamb, Selphie gazing out of the window singing softly. Before they knew it they were back in Garden and heading throught Selphie's room door.

'We've got to get a cute bunny!!' Selphie said twirling happily.

'Um Selph..' Irvine said softly.

'What's up Irvy?' Selphie asked her expression darkening.

'I think we should go back to being just friends.' He told her slowly.

'What!? Why?' she exploded in shock.

'I'm only going to hurt you if we stay together. I'll destroy you because I can't stop flirting.' He said unable to look at her.

'You break my heart into a thousand pieces and you say it's because I deserve better?' Selphie screamed, tears welling in her eyes.

'I'm sorry.' He replied softly.

'Get out! Get out! Get out!' she yelled at him pushing back through the door and slamming it on him.

Irvine pulled his hat down over his eyes to hide his own tears as he heard Selphie collapse, sobbing, against the door. He hung his head and walked off sadly.
