Silent Screams
A/N: I am such a bad, bad author. v_v I'm sorry I didn't update when I said. But I've been having some...problems with the story. I know the last chapter was VERY confusing. It's meant to be that way. Yet, I may pause this for a month and write in on my laptop then convert it to the main computer, especially since next month I'll be on a bus for four and a half hours so I'll want to write for this. Not saying that I DON'T want to write this, just that...having some problems. Well, enough of this! Chapter 17!
Chapter 17
Quistis opened the door for the first time in three days. Seifer was leaning against the wall, dead asleep and Squall was on the other side of the door, biting his nails. "Get your hands out of your mouth," Quistis mumbled playfully. Squall looked up and turned his head back down.
"Bout time you came out of there. I mean, I know you're immortal and all but that...thing...definitely did some damage," he mumbled back out.
"I died, Squall. Your damn right it did some damage." She smiled a bit, relaxing, realizing the truth. She walked out of the sleeping area to go to the control room. Squall quickly followed. "Squall. We need to go to the moon."
He looked at her oddly. "What for?"
"Hyne lives there." Squall blinked. "I need to speak with him. Rinoa's much too strong for me alone to face, whether I'm immortal or not." She sat in the co-pilot's seat staring at the blinking numbers. "Squall, can I...talk you?"
"Sure." He sat down, pressing a button and then a lever.
"What would...you say...if...I was a descendent of Hyne?" Squall looked up at her, his eyes blinking slowly. "Not saying I am!"
"Would make a lot more sense...I mean...I...don't know."
"Yea..."
Quistis stared out into space, her mind retracing over and over again of what had happened. The ray of death had destroyed the city of Deiling. The ray of death that the mysterious cloaked figure had warned her about. It was too soon, though, for it to destroy the whole world. Quistis thoughts drifted to the forest she, Seifer, and Squall walked through. It was real, it had to have been. They touched the trees and ran in the mud; it also burned and it was as if its spirits were sucked out of them.
Quistis blinked slowly, her eyes shifting over to Squall. Before they went past the atmosphere, they had buckled Seifer into one of the beds. All three of them hadn't gotten any sleep. Squall had a five o'clock shadow, causing Quistis to smile some. "You stayed up for three days waiting for me and didn't bother to shave?"
Squall looked away from the screen and rubbed his hand along his face. "Yea. Kinda...slipped my mind."
A few hours had past and not a word was spoken between the two. They weren't even half way to the moon and they sat in silence. Quistis sniffled softly staring out at the wonderment of space. "So," she whispered out.
Squall turned over to look at her, seeing her look out at space. "Amazing, huh?"
"Yea."
Again more silence. Squall looked around and a small grin grew on his face. "You know, we may die from this."
"You will die. Not me."
"Oh, right."
"I'll only die if this world dies, I'm guessing." Squall nodded his head.
He sighed softly and stopped the ship in mid-space. Quistis blinked, turning her head around. "Come with me. You haven't seen the whole ship yet."
Quistis looked at Squall, who now unbuckled his safety belt. He floated in mid-air, his hand extending for Quistis to grab it. She sighed softly. "Come on, Squall. We need to go."
Squall shook his head. "Listen. I want to show you something just in case I do die from this."
She looked up at him. "Such a morbid thought. I thought I was supposed to be the depressed one."
He shrugged and held out his hand. Quistis sighed once again and unbuckled her safety belt. Squall grabbed her hand and pushed his way through the cockpit. They went past the four bedrooms, the third one where they heard Seifer snoring, and past the control room, then they went down a few sets of stairs to the opening of the ship. "Quistis. I know it's soon and that we have about two months left to live in total, but..."
He paused, seeing Quistis shake her head, her blonde hair floating around her like a halo. She truly was an angel. "Squall, you never were one to talk. Why start now?"
"Because..." He got closer to her, her eyes shifting from looking at the ground to looking at him dead in the eyes.
"Um...?"
"I...love...you," he spoke out slowly. It was almost as if it was hard for him to say those three simple words. Quistis placed her hand against his chest, shaking her head, but she felt his soft lips, the lips she craved to kiss for years, against her own. He wrapped his arms closer around her, pulling her into the kiss. Her one hand still rested against his chest, feeling his heart beat up against it. Her other hand reached up for his hair, letting her fingers play with the floating strands.
The kiss was perfect. There were no other words to describe the kiss. Squall pushed harder into the kiss, causing the interlocked couple to knock against the wall. Quistis' backside pressed against a button, causing the door they entered in to close. From them being pushed by the wall, they bounced slowly to the other wall. Quistis broke the kiss to simply laugh. Squall chuckled, resting his head against her shoulder. As they hit the other side of the wall, they floated towards the ceiling, bumping their heads not only against the ceiling, but against each other. Laughter soon rang loose from both their lips as they stood perfectly still, though they were floating all around. "Damn zero-gravity!" Quistis laughed out.
"Damn those laws of space, too!" Squall laughed out.
Quistis pushed herself against Squall, causing him to go on his back. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him tightly to her and kissing him deeply. He hit the floor and groaned out in pain while Quistis refused to pull her lips away. Squall placed his feet against the door wall and pushed, causing them both to go flying to the ceiling.
They entered the cockpit after they were finished floating and pushing each other in zero-gravity. Squall sat down first, buckling himself in safely. Quistis then straddled Squall, kissing his stubble. She decided to just get it over and done with. Since they had had sex before, why not again, she asked herself. She placed her lips against his stubble, kissing it gently and whispered, "Ever wanted to have sex in space?"
His eyes went wide with delight.
A/N: OK! I know. I was supposed to move on in this chapter but I wanted to add in some Quall! Next chapter, I PROMISE will be
long
full of wonderful knowledge!
c) help move this story along!
