ryutsuki (354 words). Um, that's about all, cept it's crappy. Takes place during FF8, around disk 2.

'Finally, some peace and quiet,' Squall thought to himself as he looked out at the ocean. He didn't really want to take a break from the mission they were on. But looking at everyone's tired faces and Zell's constant whining, he decided that taking a break would be better than having to hear Zell say, 'Can we take a break?' every five minutes.

After everyone went off on their own, he realized it wasn't too bad that they decided to stop here. Having some time to himself, being away from the noisy crowds, was well worth it, in the end. Taking a deep breath of the sea air, he closed his eyes.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Squall."

He made no move to answer or acknowledge the person that made their way to stand next to him, focused on blocking everything and anything out of his mind. Besides that, Quistis would only some sort of amusement if he did anything.

"I thought you would be with Rinoa."

Now, he couldn't keep silent. "Why would I be with her?"

Smiling, Quistis noted, "Defensive, aren't we?"

Feeling annoyed at being disturbed, Squall said, "There's no good reason to be around her all the time. Besides, it's none of your..."

"Business," Quistis finished. Rolling his eyes, Squall looked back to the ocean. "Did you need something?"

"I need a reason when I want to be in your company?"

Shrugging, Squall said, "Why would you want to talk to me if you didn't need me for anything?"

"Well, I was just wondering why you weren't with Rinoa."

"I'm never with her. She's the one who's always following me around. It's more of a hassle to dismiss her than her following me around."

"So you let her follow you?"

"Yes." Now Squall was suspicious. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, people tend to talk and all. You two tend to be inseparable nowadays...” Smiling, she looked to her former student, who was now looking at the sand. "Is that a blush, Squall?"

"No."

Quistis decided just to leave it at that as she watched a seagull fly over their heads.
