Chapter 3: Revealed
Squall's POV
I woke up to the sun flooding in my window. Groggily, I sat up in my bed and looked at the clock. 12:42... Good thing it was a Saturday. I threw my blankets aside and placd my feet on the floor. It wasn't very late in the day but it was already hot.
I pushed off the bed and stood almost naked in my room. I shook off my drowsiness and walked across the hall into the bathroom. I stood in front of the sink, gazing at myself in the mirror as if in a trance.
After a few moments I broke out of my gaze. Damn I was tired. I decided to take a shower to wake myself up. I didn't bother with the space heater since it was already so warm.
The door sat wide open but I didn't care. No one else lived here so why bother? I removed my only shred of clothing I was wearing, leaving my naked form exposed. I moved over to the shower and slid the door to the side. I stepped in and pulled on the knob to start the shower as I pulled the door shut. I placed one hand against the wall and leaned on it as the hundreds of tiny water droplets pelted my body.
It wasn't long before my mind began to wander. And guess where it ended up... the one. I still didn't understand how I fell in love- ... Have I really fallen in love? I guess you'd say I have. I mean, I couldn't stop thinking about this person and I didn't even have name to give 'em. I stared down in the shower as I attempted to swallow what I had concluded.
I must've lost myself because the water suddenly turned cool. Hurriedly, I finished bathing and turned the shower off. I shoved the door aside and reached for a towel... There're no towels... With a slight look of irritation, I stepped outside the shower onto the cool tile floor. I moved toward the closet where the spare towels rested, trying not to break my neck on the way there, only to find there were no spares either. I must've forgotten to do laundry.
I hate doing the laundry. Usually Rinoa was nice enough to do it for me, but every once and a while I'd have to do it myself. Well now what? I contemplated what to used to dry with as I stood there naked and dripping on the bathroom floor. Then it got better, I heard the doorbell ring. Great, I was wet, naked, and had no towels with which to dry off with.
Irritated, I grabbed my boxers and pulled them on to conceal my nakedness and walked to the front door. I pulled the door open, still dripping wet, to find Rinoa at the door with a cheerful look on her face.
"Hi Squall," she began sweetly, "...Why are you dripping wet?" she asked with a confused look.
I looked at her with my unchanged look of irritation, "There were no towels in the bathroom. And the spare towels were gone." I answered with obvious frustration building in my voice.
Rinoa chuckled at my frustration. I shot a glare at her but lightened at her smile. She stepped inside and looked around before saying sweetly, "I'll do your laundry for you if you want."
"eh... Whatever." I said plainly but she knew what I meant. She followed me to my room where she collected my washables and made her way to the basement where the washer and dryer were at. Why I even owned a washer and dryer, I don't know. I hated laundry and there was a Laundromat just a couple blocks down. They were just one of the things I didn't get rid of when I lost my parents.
This thought brought me down a bit, but it didn't make me completely depressed or anything. I was used to it by now. I went into my room and pulled on some clean clothes, the usual.
A few moments later I heard the washing machine starting. I stepped out of my room and entered the living room. I sat on the couch that was against the wall and faced a large window behind another, smaller couch. There were a few chairs in here too along with a TV and a few tables at the ends of the couches and next to the chairs. I put my feet on the coffee table that ran between the two couches and relaxed in the silence besides the noisy washing machine.
After a few more moments, Rinoa came back in the room, smiling happily. I watched her as she sat down next to me on the couch.
"So, how have you been lately?" she broke the silence cheerfully. She adjusted her sitting position so that she was sitting upright against the back of the couch.
I shrugged. "The same." I said plainly. I closed my eyes and put my hands behind my head as I reclined.
"You seem different lately. Are you sure nothing's up?" she pressed. I knew that I was acting strangely, but I couldn't help it. I would just all of a sudden space out and lose myself in my mind.
I sat in silence for a while before answering, "No. Nothing's wrong." I said flatly. I didn't think she'd believe me and I think I was right in thinking so. She looked at me as if she could see right through me. It was almost as if she was looking into my very being, trying to find out what was up. I knew she was upset because I wouldn't tell her what was on my mind.
"Ok, Squall." she ended that part of our conversation as the clock made a short tone as it always did on the hour. "Oh! Mind if I watch TV? My favorite show's on right now." she asked politely.
I just shrugged in reply. With that she scooped the remote off of the table next to her and turned on some soap opera. I can't stand these, but I'd live for now I guess. After all, she is doing my laundry.
I sat with my eyes closed through the entire thing, completely silent. Rinoa, on the other hand, was talking to the TV tell the characters this and that. I just ignored it. About 40 minutes or so through it, the washer toned and Rinoa rushed to it to change the loads and miss as little of her show as she could.
After sitting through an hour of that horrid show, it ended. Rinoa looked distraught at the ending. It was the usual cliffhanger and I don't think she like that. Then she started talking about it to either me or herself, I couldn't really tell, so I just sat there and listened while I lost myself in thought.
The rest of the afternoon was pretty uneventful. Rinoa kept going between the washer and dryer and her precious soap operas. Damn that 24 hour soap opera channel. By the time she was done with the laundry, I was completely sick of soap operas for the rest of my life. If I ever saw one again, it would bee way too soon.
Eventually, Rinoa got up from the couch, "I should probably be going now." she said after doing all of my laundry, folding it, and putting it neatly away. I was beginning to think that she liked to do stuff like this. But it was nice that she does this for me.
I looked to her, "Okay. Thanks." I said, truthfully grateful that I didn't have to do what she for me today.
With that she walked to the door, "Bye." she said all cheery and walked out the door.
I sat on the couch in the same spot for a while, lost in my thoughts...again. I couldn't stop thinking about certain people... well person. Before I knew it, I slowly drifted off into sleep.
A few days later I was back in school again. Yay... Fun, no? I walked through the empty hall to my locker. I was late again. I didn't really care that I was late, it's just that the looks I got when I was late that bothered me. For some reason the people in the office looked at me like I was about to kill someone.
I grabbed my book and a pen and closed the nearly empty locker. I turned and walked towards the stairs to get to the second floor science room. Science... another class I didn't like. Then again, there's not many that I do. Maybe only math because Rinoa, Selphie, and Irvine are in the same class as me, but that's about it.
I turned a corner to enter the stairwell when I ran into something and fell back to the floor. I gathered my senses and glared upward at the one that knocked me over to notice that it was the single person I had fallen for. My stomach fluttered at the sight and my glare immediately disappeared.
They offered a hand to help me up and I took it, rising to my feet after I did so. "Sorry 'bout that." came the person's voice.
"That's okay..." I fumbled the end of my sentence, not knowing what name to use, "I don't think I know your name." I finished.
"Oh," they began, "The name's Seifer Almasy."
Okay, another chapter done. Sorry if most of this chapter seemed pointless, but I had some blockage going on and I couldn't think of what else to do with the chapter. So, was it who you thought it was? I didn't think it'd be that hard to figure out. But then again, I knew the whole time . Thanks for reading. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
