"White Wedding"

Squall was outside, just as dawn began to break. He had always loved to watch the sunrise, and the sunset. It was a time of peace for him. His moment to prepare himself for the day ahead, or to relax before going to bed. There was another reason why he enjoyed seeing the molten ball of gold dip beneath blue black waters, but he couldn't exactly remember why.
However, the sun was just beginning to rise now and he sighed before turning around. Then grinned wryly at the person who had snuck up on him. Her eyes were the color of the sun, at odd with her dark coloring. But it made her special. He had fallen into those eyes one night at a party and had been entrapped ever since. It'd taken his friends longer to accept her, but they had finally come around. Two years together, almost.
Just two months ago, he'd asked her to marry him, worried to death that she would say no. Instead, she had stared at him in stunned silence, then started to cry while she said yes.
"Second thoughts?"
Squall shook his head, pulling her close. "Never. I love you."
"I love you too..." She kissed him softly.

"Anything else?"
"No, thank you."
The waitress smiled at the young man. More polite then the others in this bar/cafe. And, total hunk to boot. He was dressed in loose fitting black jeans, and his black tee clung to his powerful upper frame. A silver coat was draped over the chair next to him and those eyes...
They made her think of grass, just after the rain. In fact, a few of the women were openly checking him out. But he was ignoring them all. Instead, he opened the paper and skimmed through it.
Nothing too much of interest, until he got to the announcements.

"The President of Esthar is pleased to announce the marriage of his only son..."
The paper started to shake, till Seifer reined in his emotions. Then he saw whom he was about to marry. His jaw dropped slightly, then his eyes narrowed. He couldn't believe it. In disgust, he threw the paper to the side. The waitress came back over.
"You ok, honey?"
Seifer nodded, then smiled although it didn't reach his eyes.
"I will be once I get back home. A friend of mine is gettin' married."
"How nice.." The waitress smiled, setting down his coffee. Seifer thanked her again, then slowly stirred cream into it. Getting there would be easy enough. But what was he going to do once he arrived?

They were aboard the Ragnorak now, the whole gang. Quistis and her boyfriend, Ian were playing Triple Triad. They were leaning over the game board, heads nearly touching. While Quitis was fair in coloring, Ian was dark. His hair was black enough to nearly be blue, and it was about as long as her own. His eyes were a dark chocolate, and he was proficient in using almost any type of sword. He preferred the katana though. And he was a damn good Triple Triad player. Almost had beaten Squall and won the title of King.
Zell and Rinoa were in another chair. Zell was leaning back, just running his fingers through her hair. She was curled up on his lap, eyes closed, with her head upon his chest. A few people had been surprised when they had gotten together, but Squall hadn't been. Zell had helped Rinoa focus her new magic powers, and taught her how to use that "gut feeling" of hers. Rinoa had been able to calm Zell down, and he now thought about what to say or do, instead of just rushing into it.
Selphie and Irvine were up front. Pilot and co-pilot, husband and wife. They'd been married for almost a year already, yet still acted like two teenagers with their first crush. They could never bear to be parted, and often went on missions together.
Squall glanced over at Tala. She was relaxed, her eyelids closed. He couldn't tell if she was asleep or not, when she jerked so fast she almost fell out of her chair. Squall held out a hand to grab her arm, and everyone else looked at her.
"Sorry, sorry..."
She waved a hand at the other three (Rinoa was still asleep). Squall frowned.
"You alright?"
"Yea.. Just a bad... dream."
He didn't believe it, but let it go. As his grip loosened on her arm, she allowed herself one small, shaky sigh. He leaned back in his chair, as did she.
~Lovely.. Seifer knows. And is on the warpath.~
"Tala..."
She glanced over at Squall.
"Nevermind."
She grinned wryly, and reached over to pat his hand. "I'd tell you, if anything was wrong. You know that."
~What a liar you are. Here comes his true love, which he has forgotten... Thanks to you. And you don't call that something wrong?~
Squall nodded, interlacing his fingers with hers. She ignored the voice for now, wanting to deal with this mess later. For now, she was with the one she loved.. And she wanted to treasure it for as long as it would last.
