A/N: Happy Valentine's Day!
~ He was her knight in shining armor, she just knew that, just like she knew that it sounded actually kind of cliché. ~
K. - Knight
Rinoa sighed lightly, feeling how her heart started to beat faster. And there he was again, the new commander of Balamb Garden, walking in slowmotion like a cool, totally badass guy. Only the goggles were missing right now. And then his slightly long, thick and chestnut-colored hair and his cool greyish-blue eyes, with a gaze sharper and colder than ice.
He obviously didn't see her, but Rinoa silently watched his retreating back, with only one thought that was currently occupying her mind.
He was her knight in shining armor, she just knew that, just like she knew that it sounded actually kind of cliché.
That was why she wouldn't say it. If it sounded this cheesy in her head, then imagine how it would sound in public! Especially if that public consisted of people like Squall.
She couldn't help but smile at that.
There were just too many signs that proved this point, though. Signs she couldn't ignore just like that. How many times had he saved her already? Three times? More? It certainly wasn't less. What she felt now, was much stronger than what she had felt for Seifer months (it seemed more like ages now) ago.
Almost as if he felt her gaze resting on him, Squall suddenly turned his head sharply to the left to face her. Rinoa shuddered slightly, but that had more to do with the intense stare he gave her, rather than the cold. He lifted a brow at her, giving her a slightly questioning look, but Rinoa only smiled and shook her head, swiftly looking away when she felt a rosy blush spreading across her cheeks. Knight in shining armor or not, some of her thoughts were meant to stay a secret. Besides, he was a guy and guys didn't understand such things.
A/N: Hope you liked it. A review would be very nice on this special day. :)
