A/N: Disclaimer to all characters and environments. Blah blah blah. Bask in the crappilisciousness and the failageness of me trying to pwn Rinoa. Short, but I just had to get the thought down.
"You're breaking up with me." The fact that the words from Rinoa's mouth were stated ad that she hadn't whined or pouted or even so much as quivered her lip proved that every kiss, every whisper was nothing more than lies and empty promises. She didn't look surprised at all. In fact she might even have looked relieved.
Squall opened his mouth to say something, but he really couldn't think of anything. Before he could even manage to mumble, "Um," a loud commotion from across the cafeteria caught his attention. Zell was beating up some poor kid for the last hotdog.
Squall hadn't chosen such a public place for ending the relationship on purpose. It'd just happened that way. The commander had suddenly realized it and, well, deemed it too urgent to put it off until later. Even h had to admit that he was really stupid at times like these. Like that time when he up and decided to go to Esthar with Rinoa on his back? What the hell possessed him to do that? Oh, that's right, he once loved her, once cared for her.
When the Second Sorceress War was over and done with, Rinoa had allowed their relationship to go further, It was after she'd told him that sex with him was just…'okay' –that he was more frigid than Shiva herself and he was so uptight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass in two weeks you would have a diamond– …after long awkwardly silent dinner dates and passionless kisses. After all of that and several weeks of her avoiding him that he realized she was only acting out of guilt. Rinoa was paying him back for saving her life. He was also quite sure that she still had the hots for Seifer.
That unsaid, he turned to her and said, "I'm just not feeling you, yknow? It's like… you're not even there." He put a hand over his chest and knit his brow together in a melodramatic pained and tortured look. "It hurts right here." And it did, it really did, but as the ice prince himself, he couldn't genuinely show it. In fact, he thought he oughto get an oscar for such amazing talent and prowess he was showing off.
Then again, who was he kidding?
Rinoa opened and closed her mouth a few shocked times.
Squall stood up and turned but stopped halfway. "Oh and I got a cal for you from Almasy. Turns out he's free for dinner tonight, but he wants to know if you'd mind him bringing along his girlfriend. Though… I get the funny feeling that he means Raijin. Well, ta." He left the cafeteria with the sense of a job well done.
Though he also had the feeling that Rinoa was laughing at him.
