Chapter 4.
…..
Squall drummed his fingers on the table. He was dressed in black tight leather pants, a blue tank top, which Irvine had insisted upon and when he had at first refused the cowboy had put it on Squall himself. Arms up, had been the only warning he got, before Irvine had pulled the material down over Squall’s head and easing the tight top over his body. Enjoying it a little too much for Squall’s liking. After the shirt was on he smoothed out some invisible creases across Squall’s arms and chest, in fact Squall had to tell him to stop touching him.
Now he sat in the white horse bar, sitting at a table noticing that everyone else in the place were also from B garden and all on dates of their own no doubt set up by Selphie.
Zell was three tables in front of him and two tables to his right. The blonde looked over at him and offered a nervous smile, which Squall tried to return he thought he managed to turn his lips up in the right direction at least.
Both of them were still waiting for their dates, some people had theirs already.
“Hello!”
He jumped, surprised to see Selphie standing beside his table.
“Selphie what are you doing here? Are you checking up on us?”
“No silly, this is Terrence?” She gestured behind her to a well built taller blonde man. “He’s my date.”
“You’re here on your own date?”
“Yep I picked him and Rinoa’s date.”
“Rinoa’s here too?”
“Turn around.”
Squall looked over his shoulder to see Rinoa sitting at the table behind his own with a guy who looked like he was auditioning to be a librarian. Short, with glasses and a thick beige jumper that looked like it was knitted by his Gran. He looked very shy constantly looking down at his lap with his brown eyes, fair face and young features.
It may have been an air conditioned room but outside was like a oven, how could he be still able to breathe in here wearing that big jumper? He looked over at Rinoa she was dressed up, wearing a low cut black slinky dress with high slits up the legs, maybe too low cut in Squall’s opinion.
“Why has Rinoa got that guy and you’re got Mr muscle?”
“They have things in common.”
“Like what? Their taste in men? Ow!” He rubbed his arm, where Selphie had punched him.
“For your information Clarence in 100% straight.”
“Clarence? Are you sure?”
“Yes she wanted someone who was definitely straight this time unless you and Seifer. I put them together because they like the same things, they both have pet dogs and have had for some years.”
“That’s the shared interest? Dogs?”
“They have others?”
“Same taste in make-up?” Squall muttered. “Ow!”
Selphie hit him again. “You can laugh but when they get married I’ll have the last laugh.” She marched off with her muscled bound date in tow.
Squall glanced back at Rinoa, their eyes met and she waved at him with a smile, she did look happy enough but then Rin usually looked that way so it was hard to tell if she was putting it on or not.
He picked up the menu and studied it, holding it up close to his face, he really needed his glasses for reading but no way was he wearing them in public squinting was good enough.
“Hi.”
Squall jumped, looking up over the menu to see a black haired guy standing next to the empty seat with a nice smile.
“Hi.” He replied.
The guy held out a hand. “I’m Rikuo.”
“Squall.” He took the hand.
The other guy chuckled lightly. “I know, everyone knows who you are.”
Squall frowned.
Rikuo dropped into the chair opposite Squall. “So….” He looked at Squall.
The brunette looked back at him like a silent blinking wall.
“I was a little dubious about this dating agency getting set up by Selphie and all.”
“Yeah.”
“And I see she put us in the same place.”
“Not very imaginative is it?
“Oh no I quite like it, being around people you know creates a comfort zone.”
“I guess.”
“And you get to be nosy and see who everyone else got.”
Squall just looked at him so he tapped his fingers on the table as he thought of something else to say. “You know my brother’s here on a date too.”
“Really?”
“Yeah but I see he’s been paired with a right slapper.”
Squall snorted. “Wouldn’t surprise me.”
“I can’t see them very well from this angle, but I got a look at the flimsy dress and cheap heels though.”
Squall glanced around. “Where?”
“At the table behind ours.”
Squall frowned. “That one?” He pointed to Rinoa’s table.
“Yeah I think so.”
Rinoa leaned round to mouth ‘What?’ At Squall to see why he had pointed at them.
Rikuo paled as Squall glared at him. “Oh shit man I’m sorry I told you I couldn’t see very well….”
Squall was still scowling at him.
“M-Maybe it wasn’t like table maybe it was another table.”
“That’s your brother?”
“Huh?”
“Him.” Squall pointed. “He’s your brother. Why does he look like his mother dressed him or something.”
“Hey I apologized I was being nice there’s no need to-” Squall had gone back to glaring at him again so he just gave up and looked at the table.
“So… nice weather lately huh?”
“….”
.….
Zell smiled awkwardly as his date explained his role in his father’s business.
“You know I’ll be the inheriting the business one day and then I’ll be able to give up Seed and garden and move back to Balamb. Of course I’ll busy with work all day.”
“Thought you said you knew nothing about mechanics.”
“Oh I don’t but that’s okay I’ll be the manager I don’t have to know anything I can hire people to do the work.”
“Hmm.”
“And that’s why I joined this dating agency, you see I want to have someone to come home to when I’m off working.”
“A wife?”
Sandi laughed. “Well I suppose but a man, I mean they won’t have to work I’ll bring home the money, just- you know look after the house and err-” He reached over and took Zell’s hand causing a look of horror to cross his features.
“And of course a warm body to come home to, you know if you play your cards right I might consider you for the position.”
The expression of Zell’s was sort of strained smile meets look of terror. He slowly managed to slip his hand out of Sandi’s light grip.
“That’s…. nice.” He glanced around for an escape. Seifer was sitting at the bar with Suki when he looked at them Suki grabbed Seifer and kissed him, Zell’s eyes widened, that’s not fair! He spotted Squall sitting on his own opposite an empty chair. “Oh! M-My friend’s all alone, mind if I go see if he’s okay?”
His date watched a hand with a smile.
Zell scurried over to Squall’s table and sat in the spare seat. “What happened the Rikuo?”
“Didn’t like him, then he left. You having fun?”
“Hell no, Sandi wants to play husband and wife with some poor guy who’ll have to give up his job and do the cooking and the cleaning and be willing to fuck him when he gets home.”
Squall blinked. “He said that?
“Yeah well… not quite like that but I knew what he meant.”
“He looking at you.”
“And he can carry on looking too, I’m not going back.”
“Did you tell him you were leaving?”
“Err- No.”
“Hmm.” Squall shrugged, getting to his feet and Zell followed him.
“Hey!” Sandi called after him, Zell winced.
“You leaving already?”
He turned to see that Sandi had left the table and was right in front of him. “Err- yeah you see the thing is… the truth is that-err- Squall and I are lovers.” He looped arms with Squall who frowned at the contact.
“What?! But why did you join the agency?”
“Well-umm- We had this fight see? And I wanted to make him jealous.” He looked back at Squall. “Isn’t that right sweetie?”
Squall frowned more, seeing the pleading in Zell’s eyes. “Yes it’s true.” He said in a dead sounding voice.
Zell grinned, holding onto Squall’s tighter.
“Oh.” He blinked. “Well I’m glad you two made up again.”
“Thanks, we’re happy aren’t we sweetie?”
Squall looked like he was in pain. “Yes.”
“We’re going now…. For sex.” Zell told Sandi.
“R-Right.”
“Bye.” Zell ran out the door, pulling Squall with him.
Once outside the door. “That was stupid.”
“I know I’m sooo sorry Squall.” He put his hands up in a praying for his life type way then suddenly dropped them in anger. “Did you see Seifer and suki smooching?!”
“Were they? Oh Sorry.”
“That’s so unfair Seifer’s get a hot date and he’s an asshole while we- great sexy guys- get lousy assholes…” He paused. “I mean he was an asshole yes?”
Squall nodded. “He said Rinoa looked like slapper.”
“Harsh…. Though from a distance….” He trailed off as Squall glared at him.
“S-She looked lovely.”
“Hmph.”
…..
Rinoa hammered on the door. “Selphie! Selphie!”
The door was wrenched open by a topless and pissed off Selphie.
“What?!”
Rinoa gaped for a second before she spotted Selphie’s date Terrence in the background.
“How come everyone got a lousy date except you?”
Selphie covered herself up with her arms a little too late. “Do you realize how long it’s been? I need this, I deserve this, and not everyone had a lousy day I saw a few couples walking back to garden together and Seifer and Suki were getting smoochy, so some people had a lovely time. Now if you’ll excuse me!” She slammed the door.
“Rin?”
Rinoa jumped, not expecting anyone to sneak up on her. “Don’t do that!” She hit Zell and Squall in the arm.
“Did you see Selphie?”
“Yeah but she’s ‘busy’ with Terrence.”
“Well that’s just great.” Zell grumbled.
“You two not have a great time either?”
They shook their heads. “I saw you and captain boring.” Squall told Rinoa.
“Oh don’t be mean, he was sweet and kind and…. Well yes maybe a little boring. But things will get better next time.”
“I’m not sure I want a next time.”
“Oh come on Squall, I’ll pick your date this time and no one knows you better than me remember? It’ll be fun.”
“Hmph.”
“You can hmph all you like but I promise next time will be different. You still game Zell?”
“Yeah ‘course, free food!”
Squall rolled his eyes and Rinoa giggled.
