"Gah where are they?" Zell Dincht threw punches around by the Balamb garden gate and dropped his head.
"They always take forever..i bet because amara wants to kick his ass"
He grabbed his sides and roared with laughter. He thought it had to be one of the funniest things he'd ever said. Slowing down his laughter he looked up to see everyone glaring at him.
"What..i on you guys, when they're together its like..HELL FREEZES OVER..she freakin hates him" Zell grew anxious wanting to recover from his stupidity
"what?..i mean..ha..you agree..right..selphie?"
Selphie rolled her eyes and leaned back on the gate. "No zell..i think your a hot dog eating jerk!" Zell jumped back surprised...
"Me a jerk? What? What'd I say?" Suddenly he threw his head down and began shaking widly. "Im not a jerk..your just mad cuz irvrine left YOU" Before Zell had a chance to think about what he said Selphie had her fists in his face.
"DONT YOU EVER TALK ABOUT THAT IRVINE DIDNT LEAVE ME HE JUST SAID HE DIDNT WANT TO BE IN THIS GARDEN SO SHUT YOUR STUPID MOUTH BEFORE I.."
A gentle hand grasped on to selphie's shaking arms. "Selphie, thats enough" Quistis looked down at her and smiled gently.
"Zells just being his normal obnixous self..remember?" Quitis placed her elbow on her palm and closed her eyes."we had this talk, dont take anything zell says seriosuly"" She re-opened her eyes and winked toward selphie.
Quitis threw her fists up and immated him over reacting and in a deep whiny voice she grunted "no more hot dogs..what..man that sucks..imma whoop you". Selphie broke out in laughter and held on to the gate for support.
Quitis then started laughing as well and tried to cover it up with her Hand, but her grin was domminant.
"Man..you guys.." zell murrmered and walked over to the other side, kicking rocks out of his way. He pushed his body againist the gate and plopped on the floor. ".....suck..."
Putting his head down to sulk Quitis ran to him and smilied. on..cant you tease a little bit?" she patted his face and walked back to the howling selphie.
She was still leaning against the gate and Quitis began to find it annoying
"erm..selphie..it wasnt that funny.." quitis nervously implied.
She started feeling awful for zell, he was just sulking in the corner.
"What are you talking about that was priceless!!!!" and roared even louder.. "uhn..." and quitis went back to go sit with zell.
glaring behind her quitis walked the short distance to zell,her long legs tapping the ground and her tall slender shadow follwing her.
Quitis bit her lip and stared down at zell.."hey zell, we..all apreciate you. We really do...honestly" and with that she slowly placed her hand on his shoulder.
"..uhn..." zell gasped.
He stopped breathing and his body tensed up. "Why am i so uncomfortable?" Zell thought. He squirmed his body around and inhaled a few breaths
He turned his head and looked up toward quitis. The sun had made her hair glow brighter and her skin radiate with a soft glow. She smiled a bit and giggled, Zell..Blushed. He turned his head back down to the ground and grunted.
"Damnit..why am i blushing?!?!?!?!?!"
He gathered up enough courage to look at her again.
She smiled one more time and soon the feeling came back to him. This time though he overcame it and asked..
"Quitis?"
"yes zell?"
"Do.....do YOU..appreciate me being around"
Quitis's eyes grew wide with surprise. "Oh dear..i..i wasn't implying that!" Quitis silently thought..
She drew her hand back and clenched them both together..."Well..erm..of course zell!"
Zells heart pounded and his face flushed. He suddenly jumped up and exlaimed with an anxious Smile on his face...
"Ok then..will you go to the seeD party with me to..."
But before zell got the rest out, Quitis had manged to run all the way back to the more giggly selphie
"night..ttt..t"
Zell dropped his hands and squatted back onto the floor. "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" and without thinking, he rammed his fist into the concreiet..
Zell's eyes grew open and wide, and soon salty tears formed in his raging eyes.
His lips began quivering from the pain..and he opened his mouth slowly..only to exlaim..
"SHIT!!!"
---------------------
Amara Ran Swiftly through the door grabbing her shoes on the way out.
Squall was standing there still surprised and upset.."No..no we can't leave it like this now."
Squall pushed the door open and saw her fleeing body raipidly running down the stairs.
He jumped down the stairs and latched onto her arm pulling her back into him..
Squall pushed her body againt the stone curve ot the staris and secrured his arms around her side to as to make sure she wouldn't escape.
She was panting heavily exhaling deep breaths..
Her eyes raged and eyebrows arched as if trying to warn squall to let go of her now
Squall leaned in to catch his breath and placed his forehead on hers
He closed his eyes and took another deep breath in..
"Amara..no..i won't let you leave like this.." he whispered. Amara turned her head making squall pull back in surprise..
"you..you say you dont want me to leave like this...but what do you care.." Amaras lips began to quiver and she started shaking, but had an urge to keep her tears hidden.
"The truth is..your afraid to love something new, to feel something true..your just stuck on some damn SeeD way of living.." She bit her lip even harder and soon the balamb breeze came sweeping across her face. Something moved her..something..chillied her very being...the breeze made her heart crush.
Tears flowed out of her eyes and she wrapped her arms around squall.
Squall accepted her in his arms and kissed her neck.The breeze made Amamars tears flow away and drop onto him, her hair whisked around and squall engluffed it all. He held on tighter than he ever had before..and let one solem tear drop down
He Would never let her go..he..he hurt her
He was..hurting her. Why, why did he feel like he had betrayed her? He felt like he didn't protect her. He pushed the thoughts aside and pulled her away
Gently rubbing her shoulders he leaned in and kissed her softly leaving her short of breath.
She sniffled and wiped her face, "Squall..i feel like a child around you.." she whimpered.
He laughed a bit and pulled her back in. "Well..it would sure be wrong if you were my child" Amaras eyes widened with shock and she pulled back from him. "you pig!" she joked and started slapping his shoulders. Squall laughed and pulled her in one more time for a kiss. Amara giggled and mummered inbetween kisses little words of affection. The desk clerk looked toward the stairs and shook her head. Amara placed her shoes on her feet and held onto squalls hand. "Are you ready to go?" she whispered. Squall grew quiet and looked toward the doors.."after we leave..ill have to hate you ya know?" amara teased but squall shook his head and grunted a reply.
"Will your promise me something mr.seeD?" she teased again..
Squall grinned and looked down, "hm?"
"Squall..tonight at rinoas and Seifers SeeD party..you HAVE to dance with me.."
Squall tensed up and looked down and softly said,"Amara..you..know i cant dance.."
She grinned and pulled his face down,"Which will make me look good right?"
He laughed and exhaled.."I guess so..but..you know rinoas going to be th.."
Amara hushed him and bluntly said "Yes i know, but you know the seifers going to be there too right?"
Squall threw his free hand around to his back and scratched his head, "The more the merrier i guess..lets get you out of here before people think you killed me"
Together, hand in hand they walked to the clerk, gathered amars stuff..and walked through the door.
"Squall! ..it stopped..raining..i mean..all of a sudden..its like.." Amara froze and looked at the sky.
It looked like it never even had a drop fall from it. Squall slowly walked toward the edge of the street. His shadow was perfectly clear and the ground was hot.
Squall shurgged his shoulder and thought, "whatever.."
"Its not a big deal amara..lets get going"and with that he walked a good 5 steps behind her pulling all of her bags
She looked at the buildings and plants, studying them as if she had never seen Balamb before. She picked at flower petals and chased bees with her eyes.
Her simple elogence and Innocence brought squall to a grin. The way the sun looked on her now, the way she was acting..had made him think about the first time he met her.
