Chapter 4: Heart to heart.

Once we are to the Ragnarok he goes inside, and I do a quick routine check just to make sure everything is ok. Then I step inside and see he is talking to Selphie about something. It probably has to do with the mission, so I decide not to interrupt. Instead I make my way over to Quistis and grab the seat beside her.

"What happened?" She asks.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what happened between the two of you? You just look happier than I have seen you in a long time, and your fly is undone. I know how you feel about him, and I want to let you know you can talk to me about this if you need to."

"Okay, what happened is just a few kisses and some mild groping. I am happier than I have been in a long time and it is because of him. Now I know that even though he doesn't love me yet, there is hope that he might eventually. He also won't try to kill me if I touch him, that itself takes a load off of my mind. Was there anything else?"

"Your fly is still undone."

"Oh, uh, sorry 'bout that." I turn away and zip up. When I turn back to Quistis I am blushing from the roots of my hair to the tips of my toes.

"Now do you want to talk about this?"

"If we are going to talk about something, why don't we talk about you and Seifer?"

"Oh, well ok. What do you want to know?" It is now Quistis' turn to blush.

"When did you become able to stand him for one?"

"Well he came back to garden and everyone was giving him a hard time. You know because of the whole sorceress' knight thing. He was upset over something, so I took him out to lunch to find out what was wrong."

"Did you find out what it was?"

"Yes, he was in love with someone, but didn't think he was worthy of her."

"Let me guess it was you, right?"

"Yes it was me, and since then we have been talking a lot."

"Judging by that mark on the side of your neck, you've been doing more than just talking."

"What, where is it?"

"Don't worry it isn't very dark and for the most part your hair covers it up." She relaxed somewhat upon hearing that. "So," I continued "do you feel the same way about him that he feels about you?"

"I think so, but for now it is just a really strong attraction to him for me."

"Well at least it is something to work with, which is better than nothing at all."

"What are you two talking about?" A new voice asks. We both look up and see Irvine standing there, waiting for an answer.

"Why aren't you talking to Selphie before you two have to split up for the mission?" Quistis asks him.

"Because she is talking to Squall and Seifer about something and told me to get lost."

"What is she talking to them about?"

"I don't know."

"It must be good if she wouldn't let you hear it too."

"Yeah, now you got me wanting to know."

"Me too."

"Hey I know how to find out."

"How?"

"Yeah, how?"

"Well, we will only find out from one of them right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"We do method of elimination, Squall probably wouldn't tell us to save his soul. So he's out, Selphie won't be able to tell us because she will be with Squall. That means that after we split up, Irvine and me will find out from Seifer. Don't worry Zell, we will tell you after the mission is over."

"Sound like a good plan to me."

"Me too."

"Ok, now that we have that settled what are you two talking about?"

"We were talking about our love lives."

"You two have love lives?"

"Hey what is that supposed to mean?"

"Uh, nothing. Oh I get it; your love lives are over there talking to mine."

"How did you figure that out?"

"Well, wait a minute, you're gay Zell?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"Oh nothing really, so which one is yours? No wait let me guess. Since Quistis has been hanging around Seifer, That means you are in love with Squall right?"

"Yep, and have been for years now."

"Oh well sorry he doesn't fell anything for you."

"Who says he doesn't?

"What! Well this is great for you then. Wait how do you know that he does?"

"I don't really know how much or how little, but there is definitely something there. His kisses say more the he ever could."

"That is..."

"We are three minutes form the drop off point." I recognize Xu's voice. "Once we let you off the count begins. Be ready everyone and good luck."

"Well this it." (Irvine)

"Yep are you all ready?" (Quistis)

"Whatever." (Squall)

"I'm ready teehee." (Selphie)

"We can do this easy." (Seifer)

"Let's go kick this things ass!" (Me)
