"I'm sorry."

"I know…"

"Do you want—"

"No, I don't know if I want to see you," She interrupts him anticipating his question. "I need to cool down for a little while. I'm still a little confused."

"I need you."

"I need you too Squall, but you just walked away, and didn't even bother to look back!"

"I'm coming over."

"Wait, what?"

He hung up the phone, not saying another word. She sits staring at the phone, dumbfounded. She places the phone back in its cradle and lies down on the bed.

Five minutes later the doorbell rings, she runs down and opens the door just enough for him to see her tearstained face. He looks at her with a worried expression.

"You okay?" he asks, she jumps at the sound of his voice.

"Do I look okay?" She asks weakly

"Not really."

"Well, duh! I was just sitting upstairs crying over you."

"Can I come in?" he asks quietly. She's stunned for a moment while the sound of his voice melts her defenses and touches her inner core. She sighs deeply, she loves him; how could she possibly stay mad. She opens the door and steps to the side, allowing him to pass through the doorway, with just enough room for him to fit while still brushing up against her.

"Look I'm—" He begins, but he is quickly cut off.

She jumps and pulls his lips toward hers; she doesn't want him to talk. She wants him to hold her, make her feel better physically, not mentally. Mentally, she knew they would get through this, they always did. She knew this physically too, but she wanted the reassurance. Their lips lock for a few moments, then Rinoa releases her lover. "I know," she says bluntly, "now shut up and kiss me. You owe me for tonight."

His eyes search hers with a faint hint of fear, but finally he notices the tint of humor in her eyes; he smirks and leads her downstairs.

She walks ahead and lays down on the futon, smiling at him playfully. "It's a full moon tonight Squall."

He looks at her in a confused manner, the expression on his face makes her giggle. "Come lie with me," She says simply, "I need you to hold me close."

He complies and moves to lie next to her with her back facing away from him. Their eyes lock instantly, pure love flowing freely between them. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her close, moving her lips close enough for them to feel each other breathing. "I love you" he states suddenly. Rinoa jumps at the rough yet soothing sound of his voice, her muscles relax a moment later with a large sigh.

"I love you too" she replies, placing her head on his chest as he rolls over on his back. She stays on her side like that for a while, inhaling his sweet scent like a drug. He smirks at her as she complains of a headache from breathing in too much.

"It's your fault."

"No, it's yours," she states simply, "you smell too good. You're a drug."

He stares blankly at her for a moment then shrugs, no use arguing over this one. She looks up at him suddenly "I want you." He looks at her, confused. "I need you" she adds.

"What do you mean?" he stares at her, helpless.

"I want you to show me you love me."

"I do."

"I know that Squall, I want you to show me physically."

He doesn't move, he thinks for a moment, and reaches a decision quickly. He sits up, bringing her with him. He tilts her head up and kisses her gently. He pulls away and looks for her reaction. She looks as she's about to protest when he kisses her again, more passionately this time. Their tongues massage over each other as Rinoa moans happily into Squalls mouth. As the kiss continues, Squalls hands begin to wander over Rinoas body, seeking flesh, but finding only cloth. Disappointed they retreat to the back of Rinoas head pulling her deeper into the kiss. They stay like that a moment, then Rinoa pulls away. "Good boy." She smiles.
