AN: I do not have any rights to any blah blah blah ff8 blah blah whatever... O and no I do not own the song 'Kisses sweeter than wine.' Why anyone would want to I don't know. If I could find them I'd make it so the song would never be played again!

Frost: Yeah I know it's mushy.. (damnit all) I know I don't do fluff often but I did it.. (growls a bit and mutters.. 'I hate fluff!') I reread the chap like five times and yeah, Squall is a bit OC. But then again in the game he turns a bit OC in the 3rd disk.. (DAMN YOU RINOA!!) I'll try to fix that in this chap! OK? yay!

Midgetgem: Hey ty! I'll update soon. Most stores I write get updated like almost every week. It's my way of blowing things off, cuz I have a three page paper for one of my classes, but no I'm doing this. lol. So here!

Chapter: Three; You smoke?

The kiss was sweeter than wine, and sent shivers down both thier spines. Quistis could feel Squall's hands creep along her waist. No. This could not happen. Slowly she pushed him away, and hopped off the bed. For once she was glad the doors onto the veranda were manual. Sighing she grabed something from the pocket of her skirt and walked out. Bitting his bottom lips, Squall fallowed her out.

"Quisty?"

"Hmmmmmmmm?" She let the hum come with a large sigh.

"Um, about what.... wait. You're smoking?" Squall stepped to the side to see the small red ambers of the cigarette.

"Yeah." She took a long drag from it and staired off into the stormy sky. The rain had lightened up a bit and speckled her shirt, or more so Squall's shirt. "Sorry. Just needed some air here."

Squall watched her as she fished off the last bit of her cigarette. He never thought of her as a smoker. Seifer yes, but any of the others, no. Sighing he just stood there and watched her. Something about her mesmerized him. She knew more about him than anyone, even Rinoa, and yet.... he knew nothing about her.

"Quisty?"

Quistis turned and walked back into the bedroom, never once looking at him. "Hmmm?"

Squall fallowed and sat next to her on the bed. Quistis had thrown herself down onto the bed and removed her clip, letting her hair fall wildly. Something in Squall made him want to touch her hair, hold her face, and look into her deep blue eyes forever, but those eyes would not look at him now.

"What Squall?" Her sweet voice brought him back to see her back to him.

"....." He didn't quite know what to say. Hell what could he say? Did he always feel this way about her, or was this something new? Sighing, Squall looked around. One of the candles had gone out. "Many things in life go out like a candle."

"What?" Again her voice brought him out of his thoughts. He didn't mean to say that alowd but it happened non the less. "What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Both sat there in the silence not knowing what to do, or say. Slowly Quistis rolled over and looked at Squall. Who was looking off at the blown out candle. "Why did you kiss me?"

Squall looked to the foor, hoping the answer would jump up and hit him in the face. Insted all he saw was a fluffy pink paper ball. Rinoa was not the person he wanted to kiss anymore. Quistis was the one he wanted in his arms, to be there, to love. "....." Squall could not say those words. He wasn't sure if he could ever say those words to Quistis.

"Come on Squall. I have a right to know."

Yes she may have a right to know, but Squall has the right not to tell. It was all too much for him. Slowly the thought of having a cigarette sounded reasonable. Slowly he stood and walked into the bathroom. No door. Turning his head he looked to see Quistis watching him. He did have to use the bathroom, but the fact that the door did not close changed his mind.

"Umm, Quistis. Can you umm... go into the next room for a sec? I kinda...."

"Yeah."

AN: Sorry it's short but I thought I should end it here. I'm sore and tired. So ummm... be back soon! RR please!
