He was looking down at her, staring deeply into those soft chocolate orbs of hers that always had the power to freeze the most dangerous man on the planet right in his tracks. There was just something about the way she looked at him, almost as if Squall could feel Rinoa open him up with her eyes and look deeply into his soul. No other person in his life could claim to be the tamer of the lion of Balamb except the raven haired beauty that swept into his life like a whirlwind.<br/><br/>"I don't know what the future will hold Rinoa. You're right. It will have to be  different. We'll need to really talk about how to make things work this time. Things have changed at Garden. I have less silly paperwork and daily tasks, but more responsibility in being a public face for SeeD. Yeah... I just fuckin' love that part as you can imagine."<br/><br/>He rolled his eyes as he tried to suppress a small grin. Did he just make a joke? More sarcasm than humor but he did seem quite comfortable talking to her about the future.<br/><br/>" But I know that I need you in my life. I... don't want to be apart any longer. The last few years have been long, tough, and incomplete without you there with me. I love you Ms. Heartilly. I never stopped and I never will. I'm afraid you are just stuck with this old knight."<br/><br/>His hands were laid to her cheeks then as he gently stroked the soft skin of her face as he leaned his in close. He was kissing her again after a moment, his big and full lips melting themselves completely to hers as his tongue once again begged entrance to her mouth.
