Emotions
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Squall and Quistis left the meeting room and headed for the outside of the palace.
They were stopped on the way there by the citizens of Esthar. Squalls wasn't in a very
good mood so he tore across the crowd, not caring if he bumps into anybody, or make
them fall to the ground.
(I have no time to deal with this! I need to get this over with so that I can get back
to Rinoa.)
They finally got across the hallway and headed outside. They went into the
rubble-ridden city. Quisits was walking right behind Squall, carefully inspecting him. She
could tell that he was disappointed. She could tell that his mind is off somewhere else.
She didn't even expect him to talk to her.
(I need to get back to her. I can't let that guy, Zack stay with her for any longer. I
don't know what is happening back home but I can feel something will happen.) He
notices Quistis to be falling behind him. She was looking around her surrounding and she
noticed something unusual. (What if...)
" What are you doing? Hurry up so that we can get out of here!" His voice was
demanding. Quistis felt kinda disappointed and was quite taken beck. She didn't like it
when Squall gets mad, especially with her.
(I just hope that Rinoa is doing alright..What am I thinking! Of course she's
alright! We spent our first date in the training center and we defeated 3 T. Rexes all by
ourselves. She can handle a stupid mission such as Zack's. I just hope that she doesn't
have to take care of him. She'll be alright. I need to stop thinking about her. I need to
focus..)
While they were walking, sudden droplets of water hit Squall's nose. It felt cold
and unwelcoming. He looked up into the sky and saw that it was raining.
"Ummm...Squall?" Quistis was trying to be careful not to offend him again. She
didn't let a little rain bother her because she knew that Squall didn't mind it either.
He was calmer now. Maybe it was the rain. he took a beep breath, "yes?"
"Oh, I saw a suspicious looking building. It's over there." She points toward a
run-down building a few meters behind Squall. Hundred droplets of rain were hitting her
arm by the second. The rain was falling harder and harder.
He swiftly turns his head to look behind him. Water splashed out from his hair. It
was either he wasn't concentrating or just didn't see because he didn't notice anything
suspicious. "What? I don't see anything?"
She knew that he was too deep I thought, "Well, if you look around, you will
notice that the city is empty. That building over there is filled with people. I'd say that
that's one of the hideout. It's possible since they probably thought that everybody is over
at the palace 'case they were too afraid to go out. They probably thought that no one
would dare attack them because they have power in numbers."
Squall has that 'Ohhh" look. Though he still didn't say anything. (We need to go
there. Maybe I can finish this off tonight.) Squall started running towards the building
while stepping on puddle after puddle. Another set of footsteps could be heard running
towards him. He kept running almost reaching his destination, but was stopped by a hand
that was pulling him back. He shot a sharp look towards the hand and then to Quistis.
"What's your problem? Let go of me!!!" he wasn't thinking straight.
"What's my problem? What's your problem? We can't just bust in here! It's 8 at
night!! Do you even have a plan? Huh? Do you think that going over there will solve
everything and you can go back to your precious Rinoa?"
Squall lowered his stance and was bewildered, confused. (Rinoa? I can't! I need
to get there! She's expecting me to be back! I promised! I promised!) " I PROMISED!!!"
Quistis looked saddened, " You promised? Well, did you ever think about anyone
but her? How about you? What if you die? People will be miserable! I.. will be
miserable! Did you ever think about that? Not every thing is about her!" Water was
running down her face and under her eyes. It almost looked as if she was crying. It
sounded as if she was.
"I don't care!!!!" He tried to run again but her grip was firm.
She sighed a sigh of defeat." Fine! But think about this," She gave him a
compassionate look, "What if you die. Rinoa will be sad. Don't you want to get back to
her? Huh? Do you want her to be miserable as well? Do you?" She knew that this was the
only was to make him stay even if she hated the fact that he will do anything for Rinoa.
(Sad? Rinoa...) He once again lowered his stance and stood in defeat. He fell
on his knees almost in tears, but he held it back. He needed to be strong, for Rinoa.
The rain was pouring against them harder than ever. Squall was left soaking wet
and all he could see was a shadow looming above him and the light from the lamp posts.
He's forgotten about his mission, he didn't know what to think. After lamenting for a
while, he looked up. When he did, he saw a hand. It was Quistis'. He took her offer and
she helped him up. He was ashamed. He let his emotions control him. He was the one
who didn't deserve to be a leader. It was her soft voice that comforted him.
"Squall..I understand what you are feeling." She took his hand and pulled him
into a hug. She put her left arm around his back and her right caressing his soaked
hair.
Squall loosed himself up and retuned the hug. Unfortunately for Quistis, that's as
far as he will go.
"Squall..," real tears was now falling from her face, she didn't know what type
of tear it was. Happiness, or sadness? "It's okay..you'll get back. But..I can't-I
just can let you leave me like that and make your life shorter. We'll go tomorrow. I
promise. I promise too..." And with that she released herself from him, though her
body didn't want to, and wiped the water from his face and walked on home.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Ma! I'm here! I got somebody you'd love to meet!" Zack had just opened the
door to his tiny little abode.
A chubby, stumpy little lady came running down the stairs to welcome her son.
"Oh! What are you doing back so early, Zack?"
(He still lives with his mother? How old is he? 21? His mother seems nice
enough.)
"Oh who is this?" Zack's mother Helena was not inspecting her son's visitor,
"She sure is pretty. Is she your new girlfriend Zack! I do hope so!"
"Mom! Jeez! Of course not. Would a pretty girl such as her would go out with
me? No! She's Rinoa. The one who helped me with the Bakery. She's a Seed." He
sounded hopeful though.
"Oh! Really sorry my dear! It's just been a while since I've seen my son with a
girl." She leans on to Rinoa to whisper something, "But to tell you the truth, I think he
likes you. Give him a chance will you?"
Zack heard the last part that she said and decided to protest, "Mom! Stop
embarrassing me! She is going out with the commander of the Balamb garden,
Commander Squall!" He sounded a little disappointed when he mentioned that name.
"Oh! So where is he now. A guy should not be leaving his lady all by herself.
He's not being a very good boyfriend now is he?"
(Squall? Leave me alone? He wouldn't! he promised he'll be back! He just has a
mission. He'll be back..)
Zack could see the sadness in Rinoa's eyes. He knew that if he wanted to make
Rinoa fall in love with him, he'll have to impress her first, "Mother! Stop that! He is the
commander of SeeD! He went on a mission! Squall would never leave Rinoa! He loves
her very much. He would never leave her. He just left her here so he can prevent
jeopardizing her life. And there's also the fact the she's here with me, helping me. So he
couldn't have taken her with him. So just lay off will you!"
(Squall loves me very much, he would never leave me, he loves me, that's all that
matters.) She seems to be trying to convince herself. Somehow she doesn't seem
convinced enough that Squall will come back and that he loves her. (I just don't know
anymore!)
"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry if I offended you." Helena was still determined to make
Rinoa like her son.
She's been quiet but she finally spoke, "It's okay. You didn't know. It's quite
alright.." She didn't think it was alright. She was afraid that what Helena said may be
true.
"Well, I didn't know that you guys were coming over so I was going
somewhere.." She had a handbag on her shoulder.
"Go ahead! Don't worry, we'll be fine. I just wanted to have lunch with her here."
"Okay, then. Don't do anything funny," she gave Rinoa a little wink, "Well it was
nice meeting you dear, hope to see you again." She turns to her son, "And you Zackary
Passmore, you'd better take care of her! Or else you'll have to answer from me." And
with that, she gave a wave of her hand back to them and left the house.
"So what do you want to do now?" Zack was relieved that his mother is finally
gone.
"Ummm..we could eat. I didn't get a chance to eat at the cafeteria. And, oh, it
was really nice meeting your mom. She seems really nice."
"An embarrassment you mean." He started placing plates on the table. "What do
you want?"
"Anything will be fine."
They ate. They talked. However, Rinoa stated mostly quiet, thinking. Zack
noticed this too. He couldn't stop staring at her and examining her beautiful face. They
sat there for about and hour. They stayed even if they were no longer eating. They just
sat. After a while it got too quiet. Even for Rinoa to bear. She stood up and walked to the
nearest window the viewed the town of Balamb. It looked so beautiful. Especially
because his house was just outside the harbor and the sun was being reflected against the
ocean blue water. Rinoa was remembering some of the things that they did in Balamb.
When they had to chase Raijin and Fuijin around. While she was thinking, marveling, she
felt a hand on her shoulder. Although it didn't feel like Squall's, it felt nice.
"You like my little town?" His voice was kinda soothing. His voice was in tune
with the water and the wind that was blowing.
She sighed, "Yeah. One of my friends lives here. You know Zell? He's a SeeD
too. He's the one that you saw me with in the cafeteria." (Oh yeah! I forgot to introduce
Zell to him! Was I too distracted. But by what?) "Yes, he's Zell. I even forgot to
introduce you to him. What was I thinking?" (Definitely not Zack! I was thinking about
Squall..Was I?)
"I knew he looked familiar! Though I never really talk to him when I see him. I'm
not the social type. I'm sure he's a nice guy." He knew he didn't want to keep talking
about some guy he doesn't care about, he wanted to talk about her, so he changed the
subject, and "So.. you want to take a stroll around. We could rent a motor boat and
have a ride. The breeze will be nice. I'm sure you'll love it."
(What's he trying to do? Oh well, he's right, it will be nice. Squall never took me
in one of those..) "That'll be nice. I'll take you on your offer. Though are you sure you
want to pay-, never mind." (I'm pretty sure he'll be embarrassed if mentions that. He'll
think he's too poor for me, but I don't think that at all..)
"Great! Let's go!" He took her hand and dragged her out the house which made
her giggle. It's been a while since she laughed. She hasn't ever since Squall left.
They had a good time together but in Zack's disappointment, every good day
must come to an end. It was now 5 in the afternoon and Zack had one more great idea.
"How about a picnic?" He sounded too hopeful. Luckily Rinoa didn't notice.
"Why?"
"Well, I've always been too busy to actually have a picnic. Especially during the
nighttime. I've always wanted to see the sunset, and since I don't have anything else to
do until tomorrow, tonight will be the best night. I hope you agree, because it'll be even
more special since I have..someone to..umm spend it with me.."
(I'd love to.) She put her thoughts into words, "I'd love to.."
They sat on the grass outside of Balamb. The sight truly was magnificent. The
garden seemed like it was glowing with the setting sun right behind it. They watched
together as the sky turned orange. They watched as the sun disappeared to the horizon
and out came the moon. It was romantic, but was not romantic enough for Rinoa to let go
of her guard. He slowly tried to crawl closer to Rinoa. She didn't say anything. She was
too deep in thought.
(I wonder if Squall is looking at the same sky as I am. I wish he was here..)
"Ahhhhh! This is nice. I never knew looking at the sky was this calming. I've
decided that from now on, I'll be doing this more often..." He noticed that Rinoa
wasn't paying attention, "ummm, Rinoa?"
"...." She didn't hear.
He again put his hand to her shoulder, that caught her attention, almost
immediately, "Yes?"
"You sound tired. Maybe you want to go back?"
She sighed, "Yes, I am tired. You seem to always know what I want," (Too bad
you can't give me what I yearn the most.) " Maybe, we should get back."
"Okay. I'll walk you home-and don't even say that I don't have to, because I
will anyways."
"..."
They arrived back to the garden. On the way to Rinoa's room, Zell caught a
glimpse of them and gave them a suspicious look. when they arrived in front of Rinoa's
room, they started saying their goodbyes.
"Well, here we are!" He didn't seem to ever want to leave her. But he had just one
more plan that he came up with.
"...." She was still not saying anything. When she was about to enter her
dark room, a hand caught hers.
Right under the door, Zack grabbed her waist and pulled her into a deep kiss.
Rinoa suddenly loosened up and she didn't realize that she felt herself give in. She
retuned the kiss unknowingly. She put his hands around the back of his head and
vigorously returned the kiss. Still outside, Zack started to slip off Rinoa of her clothes.
She fumbles while trying to unbuckle Zack's belt. Zack tried his best to not ruin the
momentum, for if it did, she would realize what she was doing and stop. He was not
going to let that happened. Not now, when he is so close. He led her into her room and
kicked the door close with his foot. She finally let go of her guard. She knew she
shouldn't but her body wanted it. It wanted it so much that she did it. She felt his rough
skin against hers as he lay on top of her. She knew what she was feeling wasn't the real
thing, but it felt good. She knew what she was doing, her mind telling her to kick Zack's
ass out of her room, but she couldn't move. She couldn't let go out of tight grasp. She
tried to remember. She tried to remember 'him'. But all thought flew out of her mind.
She tried to get out, but she 'couldn't'. Or maybe, she didn't want to.
