Chapter 1

This is the right thing

"Are you sure this is the right thing, Squall?"

He sat on his bed silently, his hands folded between his knees, as if deep in thought. His unruly chestnut locks fell before stormy eyes as he kept his head bowed down, staring at his feet. "Yes, Rinoa…" Squall answered, his fiery blue eyes finally meeting her warm dark ones as he raised his head at the standing young woman.

"You're right…" she smiled sweetly at him. "It was good while it lasted, but I don't think this relationship would have worked any longer. We like a lot of different things and… my life is in Timber. I miss it so much over there…" her head fell as she looked down at her feet.

Squall had never been good with words and it had not yet changed even after being with Rinoa for five months since the defeat of Sorceress Ultimecia. When he had rescued Rinoa from the Sorceress Memorial as she was about to be sealed away; had held her in his arms for those few moments, Squall had been certain that Rinoa had been his one true love. But when the threat of the evil Sorceress had finally been vanquished, giving the couple the possibility of living a real relationship, the young man had soon realised their relationship would not work out in the end.

The dark haired girl had helped him to slightly open up to people; had helped him find out things about himself; had even helped him to overcome some of his fears and for those things, Squall was grateful.

Rinoa was someone he felt he could talk to without the fear of being judged, but the young woman was sometimes too pushy when it came to his being silent. She tried to make him talk about everything that was on his mind all the time and he could not stand it. Squall needed more privacy than she was ready to give him. He liked being quiet even though he had become friendlier to people.

There were other reasons though; more physical reasons… even after five months Squall had always felt uncomfortable when it came time to be affectionate towards his girlfriend for many reasons for which he still had not found the answers to. They had only snuggled close and kissed passionately a few times and Squall knew he disappointed Rinoa with his lack of enthusiasm yet could do nothing to comfort the young woman since he could not change who he was.

"And there's something else too…" Rinoa's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. "I want to work things out with that man… my father…" she had looked deeply into Squall's eyes while saying those words, as if searching for reassurance.

"Oh…" the wild haired young man stood up from his bed, his eyes gazing at the clouds that floated about outside of the window of his room.

Squall suddenly felt two warm arms encircling his waist as Rinoa pressed her body to his, burying her face in his chest. Squall enclosed his arms around her frail shoulders loosely, unable to return the emotions the young woman was expressing in her strong embrace.

They stood holding each other for a short moment before Rinoa finally looked up at him, her soft black hair brushing her bare shoulders as she raised her head.

"I'm going to miss you Squall, you know?"

Squall gave one of his rare smiles. "I know…" he answered softly. "This is the right thing. Go find your father and go back to Timber, where you're happy."

A wide grin spread across her soft lips. "Thank you so much for understanding!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together cheerfully as she pulled away from him. "Hey! Maybe now that I'm a Sorceress and all I can finally bring Timber's Independence with my super powers!" she winked and chuckled.

She stepped further away from Squall. "Well, I guess this is it… I wonder how everyone will react when we tell them?" She brought a finger to her chin in thought.

The stormy eyed young man simply shrugged, which made Rinoa's grin widen.

Quickly, the raven haired girl pushed herself to the tip of her toes planting a soft kiss on Squall's lips.

And so the couple shared their last kiss…

Author's note: Yes this was quite a short Chapter, but it was just a short intro to what will happen next, ya know? Also, I didn't feel it would be appropriate to make Rinoa being all bitchy with Squall 'cause of the break up and stuff… I mean I may not like Rinoa very much, but she seems to me like a sweet, comprehensive person none the less… that's how she seemed to me when she approached Squall 'n stuff… Anyways, I hope you read my other chapters and that you enjoyed this one!!
