Ain't it great! So read and enjoy!

Chapter 6 Dashboard Confessional

Rinoa had only left half an hour ago to go shopping for much needed items for her room with Selphie, already Squall was missing her.

'Maybe I should learn to like shopping' thought Squall as he laid on his couch. 'Can't be that bad, it's got to be better then laying on my couch like a moron waiting for Rinoa to get back.

A knock at the door interrupted Squall's thinking. Squall got up slowly and opened the door. It was Zell being his usual perky self.

"Hey Squall" said Zell cheerfully.

"Hey Zell, what do you want?" asked Squall alittle annoyed

Zell made a pouting face, "What?" he asked "as soon as your girl leaves you get all moody again?

Squall gave a snort "yeah something like that"

"Well do you want to come down to the Training Center with me and Irvine? Since Rinoa and Selphie have gone off shopping and left us here to our own devices" asked Zell anxiously.

"Just let me change and get my gun blade" said Squall and disappeared into his bedroom. He emerged a few minutes later with his gunblade, wearing black jeans and a white wife-beater shirt. "Let's go" he said and headed down to the training center with Zell.

"S'up guys?" asked Irvine when Zell and Squall entered the Training Center. "Ready to kill some annoying Grats and maybe some T-Rex's" (A/N I can't spell how it's supposed to be) asked the Cowboy as he loaded his double barrel shotgun with regular ammo.

"Sure am!"

"Whatever"

"Then let's get on with it shall we" said Irvine, heading deeper into the Training Center.

4 hours later and about a million Grat's later the 3 men emerged from the training center slightly exhausted. "Well that was fun" Squall said almost sarcastically "But I've got to head home"

"Bye"

Squall headed quickly back to his room. 'I wonder if Rin's back from her shopping trip yet' thought Squall 'Better shower before I go see her, I doubt I smell very good after 4 hours in the Training Center'

Squall finally emerged from the shower almost an hour later. Squall glanced at the clock in his bedroom, it was already 4! 'Man I spent a long time in the shower' Squall smiled 'guess I shouldn't think about Rinoa in the shower, it takes too much time'. Squall went over to his closet and pulled out some clothes to put on. Squall got dressed and left his room, heading for Rinoa's room. He knocked softly on the door and waited to see if it would be answered.

Rinoa smiled when she saw who was at the door "Hey, come see what I got today!" she said excitedly. Squall followed her inside.

Instead of her living room being barren it now contained a blue loveseat, and armchair, and so bean bag chairs. There was also a t.v., a large coffee table, and 2 small tables at the end of the couch. "This looks great Rinoa" said Squall smiling.

"Thanks Squall" said Rinoa. "I also got some stuff for the bedroom, wanna see?

"Sure" said Squall and followed her into her bedroom.

Rinoa flopped down on her new Queen sized bed. There was also a new nightstand and bookshelf. On the nightstand there were a few framed pictures on her with Zone and Watts in Timber.

"Nice"

"Come lay beside me Squall" said Rinoa smiling, patting the bed beside her. Squall laid down and looked into Rinoa's eyes and kissed her softly. A shiver ran through Rinoa from the contact. Breaking away, Squall smiled and asked "so why are you going to go for your vacation?"

Rinoa blushed brightly "I was hoping we could go somewhere together" she said quietly and buried her face in a pillow. Squall smiled and pulled back Rinoa's hair so her neck and ear showed. Squall leaned down and lightly sucked on the pulse point of her neck. Rinoa moaned softly as he sucked harder on her neck.

"I'd love to go some where with you" whispered Squall in her ear.

Rinoa slowly lifted her head and looked at Squall. "really?" she asked quietly. Squall smiled and nodded. 'How can she think I don't want to be with her?' Rinoa gave a small squeak and moved so that she was sitting on top on Squall. She bent down and kissed him passionately. (A/N There was supposed to an "intimate" scene right about here but I decided to take it out because one it was taking me too long to write and two I didn't know if it would be any good)

Rinoa broke the kiss and rested her forehead on his "thank you" she whispered.

Squall kissed her again and smiled, "care for a nap babe?"

Rinoa yawned and nodded "shopping with Selphie kind of wiped me out. Man that girl has energy". Rinoa moved so that she lay beside Squall and snuggled close to him. Squall wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. Rinoa feel asleep quickly, Squall was awake a little longer thinking. ' I can't believe how lucky I am'.

Squall awoke a couple hours later to find that Rinoa was still asleep. He untangled himself from Rinoa's grasp, being careful not to wake her, Squall went to write a note. He wrote it and left it beside her head so she would see it when she woke up. Squall kissed her forehead and left the room, closing the door carefully behind him.

Rinoa woke up and stretched slightly, she felt a lot better then when she went to bed. She turned over to find that Squall wasn't in her bed and there was a note on the pillow where his head should have been. "Well I would have preferred to wake up with him and not a note" she grumbled. She unfolded the note and read:

Hey Rin,

I woke up before you and figured you still needed to sleep so I went to my room to make us some dinner. Come over if your hungry.

Squall.

Rinoa smiled 'what a sweet guy I have' she thought. Her stomach growled and she laughed "guess I'm going to Squall's now".

Rinoa knocked on Squall's door and waited. "Come in" she heard him yell." Rinoa opened the door could immediately smell the wonderful food Squall was cooking. She found Squall in the kitchen stirring a pot of something. She came up behind him and kissed his neck, she smiled as a small shiver ran through his body. "So what's cooking?" she asked trying to look into the pot.

"Spaghetti, you ready to eat now?" he asked.

"Anytime you are" she answered.

Squall grabbed two plates out of a cabinet and dished a large amount of noodles on each and then coated the noodles in sauce. He placed them on the table and went to the fridge to get a bottle of red wine. He poured them each some and sat down across from Rinoa at the table.

"Yum" said Rinoa happily, "you know I don't you should be the Commander of Garden anymore, I think you should open your own restaurant"

Squall smiled "really? You like my cooking that much?" he asked slightly blushing.

"I really do, hasn't anyone told you how good your cooking is" asked Rinoa

Squall blushed and looked away "Actually I've never really cooked for anyone else but you" Squall said nervously.

"Really?" asked Rinoa in disbelief.

"Yep" said Squall.

The ate in slience for awhile until Squall spoke again, "so ummmm where were you thinking we could go for our vacation?" asked Squall quietly.

"I was thinking about maybe Winhill, since it's so beautiful and peaceful there" smiled Rinoa.

"Sounds like a good idea, plus I'm sure they still have a bit of a Monster problem that we could help out with" said Squall.

"It's a vacation hun so try to keep the killing to a minimum. I was also thinking about spending a few days in Timber, you know to see Zone and Watt and see how the liberation is going".

"Sounds fine to me" Squall replied

Rinoa was quiet for a few minutes before she quietly asked "would it be alright if we went to see my father?

"Of course Rin, I should probably go see Laguna and Ellone soon before they show up here" answered Squall.

"I'll go with you if you want, if you don't mind me meeting them" Rinoa said nervously.

Squall grinned slightly "I'd love for you to meet them, especially Ellone, I know she'll love you" said Squall happily.

Rinoa laughed "well I don't know about much my father will like either of us," Rinoa turned serious "he hated me enough when I was a resistance member but now I'm a sorceress something his country hates more than anything. He'll probably try to kill me" Rinoa looked on the verge of tears.

Squall got up from the table and quickly went to her. He fell to his knees beside her chair and help her hands tightly in his. "Rinoa, baby look at me." She turned and looked deep into his blue eyes. "Your father won't try and kill you, he loves you" he whispered.

"How do you know?" sniffled Rinoa.

"I know because how could someone know you and not love you" whispered Squall as he hugged her close to him.

"Thanks" Rinoa said quietly.

"No problem" said Squall before he kissed her briefly. "Still feel like eating?" asked Squall.

Rinoa looked guilty, "not anymore, but it really good. Thanks" she said.

"Do you want to go back to you room?" asked Squall

Rinoa nodded.

Squall kissed her passionately, "I'll see you tomorrow then" he said quietly.

Rinoa didn't want to be away from him just yet "Squall? Do you wanna come over and watch a movie with me?" Rinoa asked.

"Ya, sure" he replied and followed her next door.
