Nail in my hand from my creator.
You'll be here in my heart... always.

Rinoa lay in her bed staring out the window waiting for Squall. Everyone had decided to stay outside in the waiting area to give them some "alone time" which she thought was very considerate of them.
She closed her eyes and smiled softly as she heard familiar footsteps coming towards her room. She subconsciously started playing with a couple strands of hair as she waited.
Rinoa heard the door creak open slowly and turned to face him.
Squall let out a breath that he didn't realize he was holding as he opened the door to Rinoa's hospital room.
As soon as he saw her it was like the weight of the world was lifted from his shoulders. He couldn't hold back the relieved grin that spread across his face. He stood beside the door watching her eyes, waiting for them to close and for her to fall back on the bed. Waiting to wake up from this dream, it couldn't be real.
"Squall."
Her heavenly voice floated into his ears and he knew that it was real.
"Rinoa."
Squall walked towards her bed and sat down at the foot of it, not taking his eyes off her for a second.
"Welcome back." Squall said simply.
Rinoa's eyes welled up and her bottom lip started quivering. She leapt towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
She felt one of his hands patting her hair, as he always did, and another hand wrap around her waist. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.
She'd never felt so safe in her life. But she always felt like that with Squall. Like nothing could touch her.
After awhile she looked up at him and smiled.
"Finally." She sighed.
"Well it's not really my fault... traffic was murder."
Zell looked towards the game of cards that Irvine and Selphie were playing. Selphie was obviously kicking Irvine's ass, so the excitement of the game was lost.
He was bored shitless, which wasn't unusual for him but this was exceptionally boring. He heard the sliding doors to the hospital open and he looked to where they were. Coming through the doors was his sun. Tatiana. She saw him and immediately started walking towards him. She had to be, he was standing in the corner with no one around him, and it had to be him she was walking to.
"Hi." She said simply.
Zell's heart skipped a beat but he remained cool.
"Hey."
"I heard that your friend was in hospital, and this may sound really geeky but I thought I'd see how you were." Tatiana said quickly.
"How do you know who I am?" Zell exclaimed accidentally.
He really didn't care how she knew; it was good enough that she did.
"You, how could I not know you? You're like... nah."
"Nah tell."
"... I feel like such a dick... you're like the hottest single guy in school... everyone knows who you are."
Zell looked away from Tatiana and to Irvine and Seifer. Who were, wide eyed, mouth agape, staring at them.
Zell breathed on his knuckles and rubbed it on his chest. But then the thought hit him, single?
"What do you mean by hottest single guy?" Zell exclaimed.
Tatiana giggled and replied, "Ummm hello, Seifer Almasy."
Seifer breathed on his knuckled and rubbing them on his chest, mimicking Zell's previous move. He then sat back down on his seat and went back to reading the old magazine that he had been prior to Tatiana's entry.
"But that's not in my opinion." Tatiana said quickly, "umm, that's like everyone else... NO I mean."
"Fuck they're perfect for each other." Seifer whispered to Quistis who chuckled.
"Do you wanna go get lunch sometime?" Zell interjected.
"SURE! Ummm woops. I feel like such a dick. I'm usually not like this it's just that I've had a mass as crush on you since forever."
"Same... no I mean... umm... you're alright yourself." 'Yeah, that was the best save.'
Quistis held back the laugh that was dying to come out, Seifer was right; they were perfect for each other. They could say the wrong things together.
"Cool, uhhh... tomorrow?" Zell enquired.
"Tomorrow's perfect!"
"Bout twelve outside the pizza parlor?"
"Yeah, that's great."
"Great."
"It really is just one thing after another with you." Squall laughed.
Rinoa smiled weakly at him and let out a little giggle.
"Sorry... I suppose you could have gotten someone much easier."
Squall kissed Rinoa tenderly on the forehead and grinned at her.
"Nah, I wouldn't trade you for the world."
Rinoa smiled openly and stared at the ceiling. She sighed and began subconsciously counting the tiled on the roof.
"I want to go home. I'm sick of being here." Rinoa complained.
"Yeah, as you would be." Squall agreed.
Rinoa hauled herself out of bed and walked to her window. She felt a sudden urge to tell Squall what had happened.
'I can't do that. He'd think I was insane.' Rinoa thought.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Squall said.
Rinoa smiled again and shook her head.
The next day... Rinoa's out of hospital.
Squall had taken Rinoa back to Quistis's. Nobody was there. Quistis had gone with Seifer to spy on Zell and Tatiana, just because they're nosy.
"Do you want me to stay with you till they get back?" Squall asked.
Rinoa nodded vigorously before she ran upstairs.
"Where are you going?" Squall enquired as she was going.
"I need a shower and a change of clothes. I feel icky."
'Thank you Selphie for teaching her your words.' Squall thought sarcastically.
Squall sat down on the couch and turned the TV on. He heard the shower turn on. He felt the urge to join her, but couldn't imagine that she would like the surprise as his other girlfriends had.
That was what he thought was weird about his relationship with Rinoa. She was completely different to every other chick that had come and gone. The others were already in bed with him, probably right now. Not that he wouldn't mind that with Rinoa it was just that he didn't seem to need it with her. Like there was more to the relationship than that. He could almost hear Irvine's voice saying.
"What the hell are you talking about? Sex is the key to the universe."
Or something to that extent.
It sort of sickened him to think of all the freaky sex that him and Selphie had, he got a mental image and shuddered. Immediately blocking the images from ever seeping into his mind again.
Rinoa finally came back down. She had a blue t-shirt on and a pair of black flared that shaped quite nicely.
"It feels so much better to get out of those clothes." Rinoa sighed.
She sat down beside Squall and felt his arm snake around her waist. She was used to it by now and knew that it was her duty to lean against him. But she didn't see it as a duty anymore, she wanted to.
Squall turned the TV off after channel surfing for a little while. Day time TV always sucked.
"So, am I the gossip?" Rinoa asked.
"Well you performance at school was quite unusual. I imagine that they'll talk about it to their grandkids around here." Squall replied.
Rinoa sighed, she didn't really want to be the talk of the town, but knew that it couldn't be helped.
Zell sat down nervously at the table. He was on his date with his Venus, and he couldn't be more edgy.
He'd seen Quistis and Seifer in the shop; miraculously they decided to go to the same place as them on the same day.
'What a coincidence.' Zell thought maliciously.
Tatiana smiled at him from across the table and he felt something rubbing up and down his leg. Zell looked down and saw Tatiana's foot doing it. He couldn't suppress the giddy grin that spread across his face.
Tatiana smiled back at him and started slipping her foot further and further up Zell's leg till finally it was rubbing his mid thigh.
Zell coughed when it got a little too close to his uhhh... area. He didn't expect the date would end up like this.
Quistis's eyes widened and she nudged Seifer.
"Look at where her foot is." Quistis whispered.
Seifer choked on his drink and started laughing quietly.
"Chicken-wuss'll be shitting himself!"
Zell started tapping his fingers against the table waiting for someone to come and serve them. And trying to take him mind off other things.
"Uhhh..." Zell stuttered.
He looked over the table and saw Tatiana biting her bottom lip suggestively at him.
Zell knew that look; he also liked to see it on potential intimacy partners.
"You wanna go somewhere else. Like my place?" Zell asked daringly.
Tatiana nodded energetically and stood up. She grabbed his hand and led him out of the store.
Zell turned around as they were going and poked his tongue out at Seifer. Who just stared back, wide eyed.
"Well I think that went rather well don't you?" Quistis giggled.
Seifer just continued to stare at the closing door in shock.
Selphie laughed wholeheartedly as she listened to Quistis's retelling of what happened at the eatery.
She felt Irvine wrap his arms around her waist from behind her and smiled to herself.
"Listen Quistis, I'll uhhh ring you back."
Rinoa sat in silence with Squall. She was pretty positive that he'd fell asleep and she didn't want to wake him. She was comfortable anyway. She lay on the couch with Squall resting on her breasts with his arms around her waist.
She'd turned the TV on again and was watching some old animated movie.
She watched as some blonde girl was transformed from a girl in rags to a beautiful blue ball gown. She watched as she danced with her love, as she ran from her love and as her love found her. Rinoa looked down at Squall's peaceful face. The pure tranquility on it.
Rinoa smiled and shifted some hair out of his eyes. She traced his face with her finger and sighed.
"I hope nothing separates us again." Rinoa said quietly.
She felt Squall's hold on her tighten slightly and heard him whisper.
"You'll always be here in my heart."
...END...
Is it just me or was that end really anti climatic? Well I'm working on another one, yet another romance fic, with a twist. Well this one didn't really have a twist. If I could call it anything I'd call it a bike. That a two big rig trucks ran over, and some kids stole the wheels. Twisty enough?
You'll be here in my heart... always.
