Chapter: Ten; Love right? No. Then love left?

Quistis looked down at her hands with shame in her eyes. She had always known that it wasn't normal to do that, but never had she been ashame of it. Hearing her stomach growl she realized how hungery she was. Turning she saw Zell watching her. "Hungery? I have some hot dogs in the frig."

"Really?"

"Yeah. You can have them. I don't care for hot dogs.."

"What?! Are you sure you're human?"

"Yes.. Now come on. I don't bite." Quistis smiled and threw a few things in the microwave.

"Thanks Quisty."

"No prob. Hey sorry I was being soo mean earlier. I'm really kind of out of it."

"No worries. Just looking out for you." Zell fished a mouth full of hog dogs and look up at Quistis. She was just starting into her chicken and rice. "I really care about you...Maybe we can go to Balamb after everything is ok with you.. You know like a da..." His words were stopped by the 'swoosh' of the door. In stormed a grumpy, grumbling Squall. "Squall man.. What happened?.."

"Squall are you ok?" Quistis stood up looking onto him fully.

"Rinoa. We.. We're not together anymore." He looked up at Quistis with kind if a smile, but dropped it quickly when he realized Zell was still there. "Umm thanks Zell. You can go if you want to."

"No way man. You must feel bad.. I'll stay and you can go home."

"No. I wanna talk to Quistis about a few things." Squall sat at the table where his chicken and rice were, cold.

"I don't think it would be best man. She's not well and I don't think mentaly you are eather."

"Zell.. Squall and I will be ok. Please?" Quistis walked over to him and took his hand. "For me?" Zell nodded and walked to the door. Smiling Quistis walked him there. "Thank you again Zell."

"So umm.... See ya." Zell quickly kissed her on the cheek before dashing out the door.

"Damn!" Quistis shut the door and turned to Squall. "What?"

"Damn what?"

"Damn you Zell and Seifer."

"Do not put me in the same boat as Seifer."

"To late you are on 'the list' with them."

"What list?"

"My list."

"Like Seifer's 'nut to crack' list"

"Hahah. No 'nut' cracking on that list."

"What list!?" Quistis smiled at him and walked back into her bedroom. "O.. O that list.. Yeah no nut cracking." Squall fallowed her back into the room, and couldn't help but laugh. There she was in a ball, half asleep. "Quisty..?"

"Guess you're staying the night."

"Staying the night?"

"Can't be left alone.. and I'm tired..." She smiled sheepishly and snuggled deeper into the covers.

"Am I sleeping on the sofa or.."

"Like last time.. Only you won't be drunk. ok?"

"Yeah. But can I shower first. A whole night with you and the next in a hospital.. I think I should.."

"Go for it."

Squall nodded and walked into the bathroom. He on the other hand had something to. Sighing he looked at himself in the mirror. He was paler, if that is possible, had deep rings under his eyes, and yet he felt ok. He and Rinoa were no longer together and he was fine with that, maybe even happy about it. Maybe it was Quistis who made him open his eyes. No he knew it was her. Sighing he stripped down and turned on the shower. Closing his eyes he let the warm water hit him. He had to clear his mind. Quistis was in the next room, and if his mind wondered too much... No he had to stop thinking. That was not going to happen.

Out in the room Quistis sighed and closed her eyes. Maybe now that Rinoa was no longer with Squall they could be together.. Smiling she tried to let sleep take her in. Slowly the black took her, but was shattered by a knock at the door. "Damn. Why the hell is it always at the wrong moment!?" Angerly she stopped to the door. On the other side was Edea. "Why Hyne? Why?" Slowly she opened the door. "Hi Edea."

"Quistis. O how are you?"

"Haven't you heard? I'm sick.. Or that's what everyone says."

"Do you think you're sick?"

"No. I think I'm tired and missunderstood."

"See you're fine. I just wanted to check up on you, and Squall."

"O.." Quistis blushed a bit. "He's in the shower right now. But he's keeping an eye on me."

"Well that's good. I'll let Cid know you are ok. Night Quistis."

"Night Edea." Smiling she shut the door and walked back into her room. "Wait a sec!?" That was odd. Edea didn't even come in. She just.. Sighing, she cleared her head and crawled into her large bed. As soon as she found the perfect spot Squall came out of the bathroom. His wet hair flopped in his face. "Damn."

"Huh?"

"I need a shower." Quistis ran past him with some night wear. She forgot that she hadn't had one in a while. Sighing she jumped in and let the spray hit her. It was a bit cold, but she didn't care. It felt good. After she was squeky clean she twoled herself down, dressed and walked out. Squall was just coming back into the bedroom. "Sorry."

"No it's ok." Squall smiled and walked over to her, taking her in his arms. "You smell good." His voice was a monsterouse wisper and filled her ears. Gently he kissed her lips, while the smell of sweet pea filled him.

"So do you.." Quistis smiled while running a hand through his damp hair. Gently Squall tugged her, pulled her towards her bed. She finaly gave in and did as he silently asked. "Squall..." She burried her head in his neck and gigled. "You are insane."

"No just really tired."

"Night."

"Night." Squall let them both fall on the bed and find the perfect spot. There they fell asleep, together.
