Wish You Were Here
Prelude: Memories of a Pinwheel
She stopped blowing on the pinwheel. It stopped spinning. Of course that was expected. It won't spin unless you blow on it, or if the wind happens to come by at the right time. She stared it again and watched as it still did not move. Unless she did something, it would stay like that and never move again, she'd either have to make it move herself, or bring it outside, and sort of, set if free. She didn't like the thought of that.
She laid herself down on the bed behind her and held the pinwheel up above her. It was a simple pinwheel, the color of sunflowers. She blew on it and watched as it spun, slowly, but it spun. She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. She huffed with annoyance and hurled the thing across the room. "What does a pinwheel know about relationships anyways!" She turned over on the bed and sulked.
Rinoa Heartilly was definitely not having relationship problems with her boyfriend! Definitely not! They were the PERFECT couple! Nope, no problems at all! Perfect!
"God damn it!" She sat up and crossed her arms. Ever since their journey was over, she had stayed in Balamb Garden with Squall, she had her own room, right next to Squall's and everything should have been perfect! But it wasn't.
She stood up and paced. It should be perfect. They both loved each other. She know that. But what was the problem?
Her eyes came across the pinwheel again and she stared at it, not moving. Was she going to have to make the relationship work? Why did she have to do all of the work! She kicked at the pinwheel and sat down beside it, running her hands across it's smooth surface. Well, someone was going to have make the relationship work again..
When they came back to Balamb.. Things just sort of halted for her and Squall Leonheart. She rarely saw him, and when she did, he was tired and went to bed. She never even kissed him after that night on the balcony. Zell was having better luck in his relationship with that one pig-tailed girl, she forgot her name, then her and Squall. It already passed 2 months since the defeat of Ultimecia!
She stood up and decided then. She would put the passion back in their relationship! She would make things work! She would make that pinwheel turn and turn until it broke and died.. Wait, she didn't want that to happen.. But yeah! She was going to make it work!
