Squall looks up at her, curiosity swimming in his eyes with a hint of terror.

She brings her lips down to his ear, "Take off your shirt."

"Why?"

"I took mine off, so now it's your turn," she replies with a grin.

"Then put yours back on."

"Squall, please, just trust me."

He stares at her a moment, fear has replaced the curiosity.

"Don't be afraid of me."

He looks down, "You see right through me."

She giggles, "That's not a bad thing," and grabs the end of his shirt, "come on."

He sits up enough for her to slide the white t-shirt over his head. Griever makes a metallic sound as it hits his chest.

She touches the pendent, "It's cold."

Squall nods slowly. She giggles at his nervousness then places her ear on his chest, his heart is racing faster now. She sits up.

"Ask me."

He jumps nervously at the sudden sound of her voice.

"I need to know what you want; what you need."

Squall lies silently watching her.

"Please, tell me what's going through your mind, anything at all."

Her frustrated tone makes him uneasy. "I need you."

She looks at him, confused, "you need to be more specific."

"I just need you here, with me."

A look of disappointment crosses Rinoas face.

"What I want is your touch, and…" he pauses to choose the words, "I want to touch you."

Rinoa looks him in the eye. She places her hands palm up in front of her the same way she had before. He understands quickly and places his hands palm down into hers. She slowly places them on her bare midriff. He breaths deeply and closes his eyes a moment. She leans down and kisses him passionately. His hands begin to roam over her bare skin, moving along her sides and back. He stops at her bra, not sure what to do next.

She sits up suddenly and unclips her bra. She takes it off and throws if to the side with his gloves. She smiles at him, he smiles back but he is not looking her in the eye anymore. She laughs quietly under her breath as she leans in to kiss him again. But as soon as their lips meet, Squall wraps his arm around her and flips her onto her back now he gets the top.

"Hey…"

Squall puts a finger to her lips and smiles. She looks as if she's about to object then he leans down to kiss her neck. She gasps at his gentle touch and arches her back. She spreads her legs and allows him to lay closer to her. His lips wonder down her body slowly exploring the hills and valleys of her body. She giggles as he kisses her belly button. "Stop teasing me."

"Is this okay?"

Rinoa nods.

Squall continues his exploration, running his tongue up her side making her shiver slightly.

"That tickles!" she complains playfully. He smiles at her, a smile so full love she just melts. His blue eyes glisten lightly, she can't look away from those wonderful eyes. Her brown eyes dart around his face, taking in everything. "Squall, come here."

With a confused expression Squall crawls on top of Rinoa and lies next to her.

She turns and wraps her arms around his neck, holding him close. "Thank you."

"For what?" responds a dumb-founded Squall.

"Loving me so deeply." She replies, "You were willing to do anything to make me happy tonight, you really didn't like seeing me upset. That makes me feel special."

"Well, I guess you're welcome."

She kisses him tenderly on the lips. He can feel the love surge through him, her love empowers him, makes him feel… It's an indescribable feeling… It's just wonderful.

"This has been the weirdest Friday the 13th I've ever had."

Squall nods in response. "I'm sorry about what-"

"Don't, I know you're sorry for earlier," she interrupts, "just hold me close until you have to leave."

He sighs deeply and makes himself more comfortable, wrapping his arms around her tightly.

Soon, both Rinoa and Squall are fast asleep in their warm embrace, with Rinoa quietly mumbling something under her breath as Squall doesn't make a sound.

A/N: All done, whatcha think? Too abrupt? I needed to stop before it went too deep let me know what you think! Let me know! Rinoa
