The door to the penthouse flew open as she ran through it, she leaned over and placed her hands over her knees and her hair pulled in a messy bun falling all over her face as her bangs clung to her sweaty forehead and she looked up to see Selphie and Zell looking at her dumbfoundedly.

"I- made it…" She said in between gasps.

"I can see that." She heard his voice, soft yet stern as she stood up and clutched her stomach, bringing her the back of her hand to her forehead to wipe off the sweat.

"Great…" She muttered between breaths and rolled her eyes.

He pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on and made his way to her. "Are you insane?" He asked her as she looked back at him and shot him daggers, "I asked you if you were insane." He said through his teeth.

She looked up and the seven inches that he towered over her became obvious as his sharp blue eyes bore into hers and pink covered her cheeks and she bit her cheek, suddenly she could smell his cologne and she realized just how close he stood to her and her face flushed completely. If the Earth was to open and swallow her, she wouldn't mind. Rinoa just shook her head furiously and the smell became overwhelming to her as she took a step back and he reached for her shoulders.

"Are you insane?! Do you have an idea of how dangerous it is for you to do something so careless?" He asked her as she moved her eyes to his hands and he shook her, bringing her eyes back to his and she felt her knees go weak, "Why did you jump out of the car? Are you aware of what you're wearing? You might as well be walking around the city on your damn bikini!" She felt him shake her once more. "I'm talking to yo-"

"WOULD YOU JUST STOP!" Rinoa asked him as his eyes widened and his hands dropped from her shoulders.

"Excuse me! I'm sorry for worrying about you!" Squall turned on his heel and walked to his room, slamming the door on his way in.

"Ohoho," Zell mused as Rinoa turned and looked at him. "Now you did it, Rin." He finished as he took a bite out of a hot dog and Selphie laughed with him and suddenly they all heard Irvine screaming.

Selphie dropped her hotdog back on the table and looked at Zell, "I think I did it now…"

Zell smiled and shook his head, turning to the tv as Rinoa quirked her eyebrows and shook her head, stepping out of the penthouse and made her way to the roof to find Irvine with an awful sunburn on his chest and cowering on a corner.

"Hey dude." Rinoa whispered and Irvine waved an arm at her, "I'm sorry that Sel made you wait for her up here by yourself…" She sat next to him, "Is that the reason why you're here in this corner?" She pointed at a little stray kitten that was staring right back at them.

Irvine nodded, "And don't worry about Selphie, I'm used to this kind of treatment from women," He said.

Rinoa patted him on the knee, "How about we go back down and fill up that big old bathtub with some nice lukewarm water while we sip on some white wine and talk about how much we suck at handling things with other people?"

"Only if said bath can be taken while naked." Irvine finished with a smirk as Rinoa shook her head and laughed with him.

Irvine softly knocked on the door and opened it as he saw Selphie slumping further down into his bed, her wide eyes looking at him from behind her bangs. "Hey…" She whispered.

He smiled at her but his eyes dropped, "Hey Sel… I'm sorry, but… do you think… Do you think it'd be too much to ask if we could share the bed? I mean, I'm all sunburnt and it hurts and I have to wake up early tomorrow for a presentation at Garden and, could I please ju-"

"Sure." He heard her say and he looked up at her, "I said sure."

His face remained the same as he walked over to the other side of bed and got into bed and under the covers, plugging his phone to his speaker system and turning the music on softly.

"I'm sorry for everything," She whispered as he turned to look at her, "Honestly, I'm sorry. Truth is, I hate sleeping alone," She smiled at him as he looked at her and she held his hands in hers and turned to close her eyes, falling asleep fast.

He walked through the bathroom door, spotting Rinoa wearing an oversized shirt in front of one of the sinks while brushing her teeth. He made his way to the wink next to hers and sighed, reaching for his toothbrush as she waved the toothpaste at him, chuckling and reaching for it and proceeding to start brushing his teeth as well.

Rinoa stopped and turned to him, smiling and removing the toothbrush from her mouth, "I'm sorry if I acted too weird today," she said as he smiled at him and he smiled and nodded at her.

"It's ok." He finished as she smiled back, not noticing that this time her toes pointed at him the same way his were pointed at her.

A/N: Hey guys! I started getting more hours at work, with it being the holidays and all, so my updates won't be as frequent as they used to be. I apologize, but thank you all for keeping up with me!
