Chapter 2
Squall and Selphie sat in the cafeteria eating brunch which consisted of eggs and sausage for Squall, sunny side up with a glass of milk and cinnamon rolls and orange juice for Selphie.
"So..Squall? Selphie was dreading the next question she was going to ask but she did so out of obligation. In truth she was hoping Squall and Rinoa had broken up but she knew that her luck usually dictated otherwise.
"Hm?"
"How are you and Ri-"
"We're not."
"Really?! I mean..what happened?" Selphie had to bite her lip hard to fight the smile threatening her lips.
" I overheard her trying to seduce Zell in the Training Center. She was trying to blackmail him into sleeping with her."
Selphie spit out her drink in front of her which just so happened to be Squall's face.
"Oh shit..sorry Squall!"
Squall wiped the orange juice off of his face with a napkin and clenched his jaw.
"You're mad at me now aren't you?" Selphie got up to leave when she felt Squall grab her by the wrist. .
"Sit down. Its fine "
She sat back down quietly and looked like she was about to cry. Squall sighed and reached out a gloved hand slowly to place it on her hand but stopped.
Selphie blushed slightly and reached out her hand and after much deliberation, placed it on top of Squall's gloved hand, causing him to look at her curiously. "Squall...I know you are hurting. Even if you dont show it. So...if you want to talk, which I know you won't...you can, okay?
Squall looked up at Selphie then down to the table then nodded. Selphie stood up to walk away when Squall called after her.
"Selphie...wait...uh...maybe I can walk you to your room.."
("Oh my god is Squall trying to flirt with me? No he wouldn't Im not his type...am I? What is his type anyway? ") Selphie debating herself over the course of a minute or so.
Squall took this as a no and shoved his hands in pockets. "Okay, well..I will see you later then, Selphie.." He turned to walk away when he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He turned his head slightly and glanced behind him and caught a glimpse of brown curl. He turned around fully and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What wrong Selphie?" His normal monotone voice returning as he felt rejected once again. ("Why would she want me anyway..she's got her cowboy. Lucky bastard. ") He placed his hand on his hip and stared at Selphie with cold eyes.
Selphie looked down at the floor of the cafeteria and took a deep breath, then she did something that confused Squall. She stood on her tiptoes, quickly wrapped her arms around Squall's neck and kissed him fully on the lips.
Squall's eyes widened and he tried to breathe but realized he couldn't, seeing as how Selphie's lips were on his. He slid his hands down to her lower back then cupped her butt with his hands pulling her up even more on her tiptoes causing Selphie's eyes to widen.
She stopped and licked her lips while breathing heavily then looked around now seeing the smiling students and the angry looks from the older kitchen ladies.
Selphie closed her eyes and placed hand on Squall's chest. "Wow.." She breathed out audibly. "Um...yeah...that was fucking amazing...but lets take it slow okay?"
Squall blinked and regarded her with curious eyes.
"No hanky-panky til we discuss this and we out our relationship."
"It was amazing Selphie, but what about Irvine? "
Selphie raised an eyebrow then began giggling which turned into a full blown hyperventilation laugh. Squall narrowed his eyes slightly and placed a hand on his hip and looked in the opposite direction of Selphie.
Selphie glanced up at Squall and noticing him looking away as a sure sign that he was irritated almost to the point of anger.
She stopped laughing quickly and turned her head to try to look at Squall's.
"A-are you mad Squall?" She asked slightly in fear that she had ruined something special.
"No, but what the hell was that about?!" He asked with an edge to his voice.
"Me and Irvine are cousins." Selphie giggled out.
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah we just found out last week."
"Cous...ins?"
"I was going to tell you but.."
"But what Selphie?"
"Well...I didn't think it would matter anyway.."
"Oh."
"Yeah.
"So...are we..?"
"Are we what?"
"Together? "
"Hmm...I dont know. ." Squall teased Selphie with a smile playing at his lips.
He then did something that Selphie didn't expect.
Squall reached behind Selphie and squeezed her butt causing her to involuntary stretch up on her tip toes from the action and squeal.
"Squall Leonhart!"
She turned behind her to see the confused looks from everyone in the cafeteria.
