A/N Alright I'm back and I know everyone just totally missed me! This chapter is very short but only because I didn't want to continue it from where is ends this chapter, you'll see why. It's the summer now so updates should actually come regularly.

Chapter 8 My Konstantine

Squall couldn't sleep. They had just checked into the hotel in Winhill a few hours ago and gone straight to bed. Rinoa had fallen asleep almost immediately, so tired after the encounter with her father, while Squall had lain awake holding her.

'If I'm going to be up I might as well go kill something' Squall gently removed Rinoa from his arms and got dressed. Quietly he found his Gunblade case and removed it. Before leaving the room he kissed Rinoa and pulled the blankets closer to her.

Nothing but the sound of crickets could be heard as Squall made his way towards the fields between the main part of town and the bar where Laguna used to stay. He strayed off the beaten path and began to explore the hills surrounding Winhill.

For a few hours he roamed the fields fighting Bite Bugs, Caterchpillars, Ochus, and even a few Dead Souls. It felt good for him to be fighting again, even if the opponents were so effortless to kill. He began to feel the most delightful ache in his arms letting him know that even though the opponents were easy his muscles were getting tired. The Sun would be coming up soon and he knew he should go back to the Hotel but at this point in time Squall wasn't thinking very much. So instead Squall casted a Barrier spell around where he was and laid down for a nap. (Yes I know Barrier spells don't actually put up barriers but it does in my world, also sleeping in a field not the best idea but I don't care.)

Rinoa awoke shortly after sunrise, feeling strangely alone. When she stretched out her arms she discovered that she really was alone. 'What the…?'. She sat up in bed and looked around hoping to find Squall in the room. Instead she found his coat gone and his Gunblade case open and the Gunblade missing. "Even on vacation that boy never stops" she giggled to herself as she left the bed "always gotta be working at something".

After waking herself up with a shower Rinoa decided to go look for her workaholic boyfriend before he was out killing monsters all day. She grabbed her blue trench coat and her Shooting Star boomerang and headed out.

Squall was having the most pleasant dream, him and Rinoa were dancing just like they had at his SEED Graduation party only this time they were alone and she didn't have to leave suddenly. He was holding Rinoa close as the dazzling fireworks exploded over head when all of a sudden he heard laughter, looking all around he found no one who could he laughing at him, that is until he woke up.

Rinoa's head was but a few inches from his when he woke up and boy was she laughing. " You fell asleep in a field?" she choked out in between laughing fits. Squall couldn't help but smile at her while she laughed, she looked so cute with tears in her eyes from laughing so hard.

"Whatever" Squall said as he got up, "if you didn't snore so much I wouldn't have to run away to a field to get some sleep."

Rinoa glared at him, before doing a perfect rugby tackle to bring him to the ground. (A rugby tackle is tackling someone by wrapping them around the knees and bringing them to the ground) Once on the ground she sat on his hips and lifted up his shirt a few inches. " I DO NOT SNORE!" She yelled out as she began to tickle him mercilessly. Squall began to laugh instantly and was soon having trouble breathing. "Fine, fine, you win, you don't snore" Squall was able to ground out between breaths.

Rinoa stopped and smiled down at Squall, "I can't believe you're ticklish!".

"Well don't tell anyone or I may be forced to torture you?

"Is that so?"

Squall rolled over so now he was between her legs. "Indeed it is" he said before kissing right behind her ear. "I was having a very good dream about you before you showed up and woke me up" he whispered into her ear.

"I can tell" she whispered back, grinding against his bulging erection.

"Sorry," he whispered and looked away" it's just that when I'm with you I lose control"

She moved his head so that she was looking into his eyes again. "I love you Squall," she kissed him letting the information sink in. "Make love to me"

And he did.
