Squall frowned and stopped walking, turning around. He sighed, sure someone was following him. When he saw no one he rubbed the back of his neck and continued walking down the hall to his dorm room. He glanced over his shoulder now and then and finally caught a glimps of someone. He turned around again and crossed his arms. "Who is there?"
Zell showed his face, grinning. "Yo, Squall...how are you?"
Squall watched him carefully while he came closer. "Why are you following me?" Squall asked softly.
"I need to ask you something." Zell stared and then took a deep breath. "My best friend likes you!" He rambled quickly.
The brunette looked confused. "Your what likes me?"
Zell bit his lip, shifting around a little bit. "My best friend..."
"Who?" Squall asked, placing his hand on his hip.
The blonde placed his hands behind his back and looked away. "Um, Rin."
"Rin?" Squall thought for a while, trying to remember who it was. "The one I helped..." Squall breathed, remembering the boy from the day before. He had thought it was strange that someone would go to the training center without weapons but he had quickly dismissed it. But now he understood. "Great..." He muttered and turned around ready to leave.
"Wait Squall." Zell asked, following the brunette boy.
"Why?" Squall mumbled and kept walking.
Zell sighed. "He really likes you Squall, can't you give him a chance."
Squall stopped walking and Zell bumped into him, falling backwards. Squall glared at the boy sitting on the ground. "No," Squall growled. "I don't need someone like him around me, he's annoying, stupid and he's-"
"Standing right behind you..." Rin whispered softly.
Squall frowned and turned around quickly. "Rin...I..."
Rin tried to smile. "It's all right I understand, I'm not that...stupid." He said before running past both Squall and Zell.
"Rin!" Zell cried, following his friend.
Squall crossed his arms and frowned. "It's not my fault." He muttered to himself, not sure if he could believe it himself and then he continued his walk.

Rin lay on his bed, Zell lying next to him. He sighed, his eyes closed. "I'm so stupid." Rin muttered.
"No you aren't, he's a asshole."
Rin shook his head. "No, he's right, I am annoying...and a little bit stupid."
"No you aren't Rin." Zell told him.
Rin sighed and smiled a little. "It's ok to be honest Zell, you don't have to lie for me."
"But you aren't annoying or stupid Rin, Squall is the stupid one." Zell said, turning his head to look at his friend. "To not like you, you are a great person Rin, now we know you deserve so much better then Squall."
Tears fell down Rin's face from his partly closed eyes. "But I don't want better, I want Squall."
Zell shot up when he heard a knock on the door. "Who's there?"
"It's me." Seifer said from the other side. "Please open the door."
Zell pushed himself of the bed and walked to the door. He smiled when it slid open, revealing Seifer. "Hey."
Seifer grinned and got inside, pulling Zell close to him. "Hey."
"Rin's really sad." Zell pouted. "Squall was saying uncool stuff about him."
Seifer walked to the bed, Zell next to him. He looked at the younger boy lying on the bed and sat down on it, pulling Zell on his lap. "Hey Rin."
"Hey." Rin whispered and opened his eyes for a second. "Thank you for helping before, you are a good guy." Then he closed his eyes again. "Now I would like to die of a broken heart in peace."
Zell pouted and looked at Seifer. "He's really sad."
"I noticed..." Seifer looked worried, a frown on his face.
Rin turned his back towards the two and sighed. "Sorry but I would really like to be alone."
"We can't let you alone." Zell said, placing his hand on Rin's shoulder. "You might do something stupid."
"Of course not." Rin muttered, opening his eyes. "The worst I will do is bang my head against the wall."
Zell looked at Seifer, lost himself. He didn't want Rin to be unhappy, he wished he had never thought of the plan to get Squall to like Rin. It only made things worse, a lot worse. At least Squall talked to Rin in the beginning. "It's my fault..." Zell whispered and got up. "I'm sorry."
Rin shook his head, turning to look at Zell. "No, don't think that." Rin said, sitting up. "Please don't think that Zell."
Zell nodded and brushed a couple of strands of raven hair out of Rin's face.
"I'll talk to Squall..." Seifer decided.
Rin's turned white and shook his head. "No please don't."
Seifer got up, letting go of Zell. "Don't worry Rin, I'm not going to kill him." The tall blonde told him. "But if someone hurts my babe's friends then I'll hurt them right back."
Zell blushed and giggled. "Thanks Seifer, I love you."
"I know." Seifer said before leaving.
Rin watched Zell for a while. "He's not going to hurt Squall is he?"
Zell shrugged. "I don't know, maybe."

"Squall!" Seifer growled, knocking on the door which belonged to Squall's dorm room. "Open the fucking door! I'm here to kick your sorry ass!"
Squall opened the door glaring at Seifer. "Leave me the fuck alone, Seifer."
"Oh look it speaks, unfortunatly you seem to use the wrong words to often." Seifer growled and pushed Squall aside, stepping inside. "You hurt Rin's feelings, now I hurt you."
The brunette sighed and closed the door before walking over to his room and getting inside. "Whatever..." Squall muttered and then plopped down on his bed.
"Don't you whatever me!" Seifer placed his hands on his hips, yelling.
Squall watched him, blinking a couple of times then he sighed. "Leave."
"No Squall, we will talk about this." Seifer said. "I want you to give him a chance, he deserves one."
Squall looked at him and then leaned back, placing his hands on his bed. "Sure..."
Seifer opened his mouth to throw something at Squall again when the anwser got through to him. "You will?" He asked, frowning.
The brunette nodded. "Sure."
"Great." Seifer smirked and crossed his arms. "And you better make it good...because if I find out you hurt Rin's feelings again you are dead."
Squall watched Seifer leave and sighed, letting himself fall back on his bed. He closed his eyes, thinking about Rin. I just don't care about him...right? Squall asked himself and opened his eyes again. I don't like him, he's just another boy...
