Chapter 4: Life's sometimes a mess

It was 6 o' clock in Balamb Garden most of the students were in the cafeteria, quad, library or had gone to Balamb to take a walk except the new headmaster, Squall Leonhart.

His office was chaos, papers scattered on the floor, over the desk, lots of empty coffee cups on his desk and he was reading one of the 20 contracts he had to sign.

'I'm tired of this, why couldn't the headmaster choose Quistis or Xu? It's a lot of work and still I don't accept anyone's help……… this sucks; I don't have time to be with Rinoa, such a boyfriend I am' Squall thought while he looked to one picture of Rinoa he had on his desk.

Knock! Knock! "Come in!" he shouted.

The door opened and a raven haired girl walked in "How are you Squally?" she asked him concerned "Rin………" Rinoa looked at him "I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink, I'm so tired, My mind is on the blink, I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink, No, no, no, I'm so tired, I don't know what to do, I'm so tired" told Squall to Rinoa singing, who was listening.

Squall realized what he just did "Rin……… did I just sing?" asked Squall embarrassed "uh……… yeah" answered shocked Rinoa.

Squall covered his face with his hands "You don't have to be ashamed! It's good to sing!" said Rinoa hugging him "Let's go for a walk! You've been working too hard these last days" Squall looked at Rinoa with a tiny smile.

They walked out of Squall's office and went to the fields, they were walking in silence, when…

"Don't worry about your life, If you hold it too close you lose it, Don't worry about your life, So won't you let go before it's gone?"

Rinoa started dancing at the rhythm of the song, suddenly she stopped singing, crouched –Squall was looking at all this bewildered- raised her right hand, stood up and started singing a different song this time "Life is funny, life's a mess, Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing, Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it, Life gets sticky, life can bruise, Sometimes you win sometimes your losing, No matter what it brings, Don't worry 'bout a thing"

After singing, the raven-haired girl looked at Squall, who was astonished, and smiled "You see Squall, don't worry. You have us, so when you need something don't hesitate in calling us, Ok?" Squall nodded "You sang beautiful" Rinoa giggled before Squall hugged and kissed her.

Edea grinned, "That was..." "Impressive?" answered his husband before she could finish talking, "I knew Rinoa's mother was Julia Heartilly but I didn't know she had inherit her beautiful voice" Cid smiled "You're right, my dear, what do you think about the commander?" said Cid chuckling. Edea laughed "Poor Squall if he finds out about this…"
