(Disclaimer: Well, I'm still waiting on some ideas for a name for Fujjin's baby. Remember, it's gonna be a girl. I may end up thinking up a name of my own. I wanted to combine "Seifer" and "Fujjin" and make something like "Seijin" but that sounds dumb. Anyways, hope to hear from you guys soon!)
Making A Good Impression
Rinoa had traveled along the hallways slowly, deep in thought, or was she deep in depression?
She first explored the cafeteria. As expected, she found Zell, standing in the food line, and anxiously waiting to see what was being served. Maybe it was hotdogs, because the line was long today, and hotdogs were a rare sight at the cafeteria. He turned as he heard footsteps approaching him. "Hey, Rin. Sorry about what happened in class today."
She smiled lightly, her face turning a bit flushed when she remembered what happened. "It's okay. At least that Raiun guy didn't embarrass me." She paused, then said, "Say, have you noticed he looks like Squall?"
Zell smiled shortly. "Yeah, but he's Seifer's brother."
Rinoa blinked. "How do you know that?"
Zell chuckled a bit. "Selphie passed me in the halls. I barely understood a word she said because she was out of breath, but she managed to tell me that she was heading for the parking lot, then just randomly said out of nowhere 'Did'ja-know-that-Raiun-is-Seifer's-brother? Gottago-now-toodloo!' She said it so fast that it took a few moments after she ran off for what she said to catch up to me."
Rinoa giggled. "I would have never guessed that a Squall look-alike would be related to Seifer. They don't even look the same."
Zell's face had turned stern. He was obviously thinking something. "There's something weird about the guy, and I can't put my finger on it."
Rinoa frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Well, he's Seifer's brother. Do you think he could possibly be worse than Seifer is?"
Rinoa shook her head. "I don't think so. He seemed nice enough, almost shy."
"Well, all I know is.. his voice was cold enough, harsh enough to shut Seifer up. I know he's Seifer's older brother, obviously, if he's planning on being an instructor, but he just seems.. too nice."
"He could be a big softy like Squall," Rinoa said, "and a little gruff once and a while."
Zell grinned. "You mean Squall-Wally?"
Rinoa put her hands on her hips, and stuck her tongue out. "Very funny."
"Well," Zell said, "watch yourself. I think he suspects something of you."
Rinoa frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Well, I noticed that, as you left the classroom, he watched your every move, until you got through the doorway, then he took his score that Quistis gave him, and casually made his way out of the room. I followed him, and noticed that he was still watching you."
Rinoa scoffed. "Don't be silly."
"All I'm saying is.. since you mentioned in your note that he looks like Squall and is kinda cute, he may have taken it to heart and he could end up stalking you."
Rinoa rolled her eyes. "Puh-lease, Zell."
Zell's tone had changed. He was getting a little impatient with trying to get his point across to Rinoa. "Rinny, just remember what I say, okay? I'm your friend, and I don't want to see you hurt. I always had a gut-aching feeling about Seifer, but even he and I are getting along now, but there's just something really fishy about Raiun that I don't like. Just remember that, okay?"
Rinoa sighed. "Okay, I'll watch myself, Daddy."
Usually, that would have made Zell laugh, but the remark just made him harder. "I'm serious, Rinoa." Seeing that he couldn't get Rinoa to fully believe him, he turned away from her, and walked back into the hotdog line. Rinoa turned the other way, but kept glancing back at Zell, hoping she hadn't hurt his feelings.
As she walked past the swinging double-doors of the cafeteria, she brushed past Raiun. He noticed her immediatly. "Hi, Rinoa."
Rinoa smiled. How could this guy be so bad? He was so polite and sweet. "You remembered my name?"
He returned the smile. "Of course. I kept reading your note over and over. You find me attractive?"
She blushed a little. "Well, you remind me so much of my boyfriend."
Raiun frowned. "You have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah. I haven't seen him a couple of days, though. I really miss him. You ever heard of Squall Leonhart?"
He nodded. "Yes, I have. Seifer and Squall used to be rivals, I heard." He paused a moment, then said "So.. Squall isn't here?"
Rinoa shook her head sadly. "No, he's not."
"Well, you don't think for a moment that he could be cheating on you?"
"Oh, no, not at all. He's too good to do that to me."
Raiun moved closer to her, and played with a strand of her glossy, raven hair that had fallen over her eyes. "If you were with me, I'd never cheat on you. Not saying that you will be. It's just that I find you rather.."
"Rather..?"
"Attractive. Your deep brown eyes, fair complexion, dark hair.. it's quite rare to see one of such beauty."
"You're flattering me."
"I hoped to. Maybe I'll be seeing you around later, Miss.."
"Heartilly. Rinoa Heartilly."
"Heartilly. You last name suits you well. Your beauty would catch anyones heart."
Rinoa blushed lightly. "Oh, sure."
Raiun smiled softly. "Well, I'll be seeing you later, then." He walked into the cafeteria, and disappeared into the crowd, but not before glancing back at her a few times, his gaze caught onto her staring brown eyes.
"Good," he thought to himself, "I have her right where I want her to be."
(Kinda reminds you of Irvine, doesn't it? =S)
