Squall waited for Rin, leaning against the gate. When he felt a tap on his shoulder he turned his head to look at Rin. "Ready?"
Rin nodded, biting his lip. "Yes." He whispered, smiling a little.
The brunette nodded and started walking. Rin followed quickly. The raven haired boy was a little dissapointed to see that Squall was wearing his usual attire and didn't look all that happy with the date they were on. "Um, so, where are we going?"
Squall shrugged. "Don't care..."
Rin watched him silently before sighing and following Squall. The rest of the walk to Balamb was quiet. Both deep in though.
Squall stopped walking. "Here." He muttered and opened the door for Rin. It was a small restaurant.
Rin stepped inside and looked around, smiling. "Wow." The restaurant was small and cozy.
"You like it?" Squall asked softly, standing behind him.
Rin nodded. "I love it..." Squall passed him and walked to a table in the corner. He sat down waiting for Rin to join him, which he did quickly. "Thank you for taking me here." Rin smiled.
Squall just nodded.

"You did what!" Zell yelled, watching Seifer.
Seifer sat on his bed, watching the blonde who was standing in front of him. "I told Squall to go out-"
"I heard you the first time Seifer." Zell hissed.
The blonde sighed, looking at the pacing boy. "At least Rin is happy now."
"But it's not real!" Zell yelled, burrying his head in his hands while he let out a moan. "Squall doesn't want to date him, you just told him to date Rin."
Seifer bit his lip. "I just wanted Rin to be happy because that would make you happy."
Zell let his hands fall back to his sides and watched Seifer, a smile pulling at his lips. "I'm mad at you," Zell started and walked over to Seifer. He kissed the blonde on the bed and then pulled back, grinning. "But at least you did it for me..."
Seifer smiled.
"But I'm still mad!" Zell said, making sure Seifer knew he really was mad at his boyfriend.
Seifer let out a laugh. "I know Zell."
"Good...should we rescue Rin?"
The taller blonde shook his head. "Let's have fun ourselves..." He whispered in Zell's ear and then kissed the boy's cheek.
Zell's eyes lit up. "Sounds like a very good idea, but I'm still mad..."

Squall hadn't said a word to him since the moment they arrived. Rin was playing with his food, watching it roll from one side to the other side of the plate while Squall hadn't eaten much at all. Every once in a while he looked up at Squall but the brunette just turned away. Rin frowned and took a bite. He didn't understand why Squall would want on a date and then say nothing to him, nothing at all.
He leaned back and grabbed his soda, taking a sip. When he placed his glass back on the table he placed his hands in his lap. "Are you going to talk to me?" He whispered, partly hoping Squall hadn't heard him.
"I have nothing to say." Squall replied.
Rin sighed, watching him. "Then why are we here?"
Squall looked up at him. "Because Seifer asked me too."
Rin frowned, the world around him breaking. "W-what?" His voice was unsteady. Rin's hands were shaking while he watched the silent brunette sitting across from him.
"Seifer asked me too because you like me."
The boy pushed himself up from his chair, blinking to keep the stinging in his eyes away. "I feel so stupid, I'm sorry."
Squall watched. "Sit down, eat your food."
Rin sat down, watching Squall. "If you want me to leave I understand."
"Eat your food." Squall said again, not looking up from his plate.
Rin frowned but nodded and picked up his fork.
After they finished Rin went outside, waiting for Squall who was paying. He turned when he heard Squall. "I'm sorry about Seifer..." Rin whispered, watching Squall.
Squall looked up at Rin and shrugged. "It's fine..."
"No it isn't," Rin started, looking away. "I feel so stupid, I should accept the fact that you just don't like me..."
Squall sighed, crossing his arms. They stood there for a while, Rin looking away because he was afraid to look at Squall. "Let's go." The brunette muttered after a while.
Rin looked up at him and nodded. The way back was also quiet but this time Rin didn't care. At least he had been honest with Squall and he had to accept he had no chance, he would probably never have one. When they reached Garden again Rin heard Squall's voice breaking his thoughts.
"Bye."
Rin bit his lip, not sure if he would try or not. "Wait..."
Squall turned around, crossing his ams. "What?"
"Would you like to come to my room and hang, as friends?" He asked, watching Squall.
The brunette shrugged. "Whatever..."
"Does that mean yes?" Rin whispered, biting his lip while he crossed his fingers behind his back.
Squall started walking away. "Yes."

Seifer looked at the blonde next to him. He played with a strand of Zell's hair, thinking about Fuijn and Raijn.
"What are you thinking about?" Zell asked softly.
Seifer blinked, smiling at Zell. He leaned down and kissed Zell's forehead. "Nothing."
Zell pouted. "Don't lie," He started. "I know that look."
Seifer couldn't help but smile a little. "Just thinking about Fuijn and Raijn."
"You should talk to them." Zell decided, brushing his hand over Seifer's cheek.
The other blonde shrugged, not sure what to say.
"Why are you so afraid of talking to them?"
Seifer shrugged again. "Afraid of their reaction..."
"Towards us?" Zell asked softly, a confused frown playing on his pale face.
"Something like that..."
"Oh." Zell whispered. "Well, if they think it's wrong and won't be able to accept us then they weren't your friends to begin with."
Seifer raised a brow, grinning. "I've never heard you say something that serious before."
"I know, it's very un-me-like."
Seifer laughed. "Well your choice of words is still bad."
"Hey!" Zell gave him a playfull punch. "Don't joke about that."
Seifer rubbed his chest, acting like it had really hurt. "I'm not, honest."
"Good." Zell whispered, grinning. "Talk to them..." He said then, turning serious.
Seifer nodded and kissed Zell. "I will."
