My Love
"Squall?" Rinoa walked over to him, reaching her hand out towards him. "What is he talking about?"
Seifer laughed. "I see. She knows nothing of your...name, does she? I would have thought you would have told her, since you two are together nearly every second of every day."
"Seifer," Squall looked up, glaring. "Shut it." He watched Seifer's face expression change.
"Squally?" Rinoa glanced in the same direction as Squall, and noticed Seifer's emotions change. "What's going on?" She looked at Squall, hoping for an answer. She got nothing.
"Seifer's riled up, ya know. He's not used to getting stood up to," Raijin laughed and stood up. "It would be best if you just-"
"Just what?" Rinoa walked towards him. "Give in to that...that jerk that pushed me in front of Adel?!" Her eyes started to turn a black color and her hands started to glow the same color, only darker.
Squall noticed this and ran over to her. "Rin! Calm down! You still can't control your sorceress powers." He turned her towards him, making her look at him, face-to-face. "Don't let them take over, you've got to control them."
Everyone watched as the glow from her hands started to diminish, then her eyes returned to their normal brown color.
Rinoa looked at Squall and saw the concern shine in his blue-grey eyes. She then laughed.
(...the hell?) Squall looked at her. "What's so funny?" He walked back from her, keeping a steady gaze fixed.
"It was the look on your face," Rinoa looked back at him, still laughing, but now it was more of a giggle. "I guess I've had an impact on you. You're showing your true emotions!"
He looked away, an embarrassed look on his face. "Uh..." Squall then looked back at her. "Yeah, I guess you have..." He then looked over at Seifer and noticed a smirk across his face. "What's with you?"
Seifer then laughed and left, Fujin and Raijin following close behind. Once outside the library, he started uttering curses under his breath.
Back inside, Rinoa walked over to Squall.
"Squall, when I went off like that, I couldn't hear you or anyone else," she hugged him and buried her head in his chest.
"Then...what made you turn back?" he looked at her, knowing exactly what made her normal again.
She looked up. "A voice inside said ' Remember Squall's love.' It kept saying that." She let go of him and turned around. " Why?"
Squall noticed tears running down her face as she turned. "Because it was 'my love' that shone through."
She turned to face him. "I guess their right when they say 'Love is thicker than blood.'" She then stopped as if remembering something. "Why did Seifer call you 'Wolf?'"
Squall looked up, surprised that she would ask such a question. "It's something everyone called me before Galbadia's war. I know that many people still call me that or ' Lonewolf'." Looking back at Rinoa, he noticed fresh tears stream down her face. "I don't really mind them calling me that. I'm used to it."
"Huh?" She looked up. "Oh! I'm not sad, it's just that this is different." She then laughed at Squall's expression. "You're usually not like this."
Squall walked over and then took her hand. "Let's go."
"Where?"
Squall then shook his head. "Anywhere but here."
