Chapter 7.
Notes: Okay, for people who ask for things in chapters thought I�d better mention that I�m actually about 4-5 chapters ahead of myself. As you�re reading chapter 7 now I have already written chapters 8, 9, 10, 11 and hopefully by the time I post this chapter 12 so like someone wanted longer chapters I can do that but not until chapter 12 cos I�ve already written the rest.

I didn�t want to have yet another fic that has a half a year gap in chapter updates!

�..

�We have a problem.� Selphie told Squall was the walked together down a corridor. �It�s Irvine.�

�Irvine? That�s the reason you�ve not been sending me out on more dates? Has he been interfering?�

�We let him help us because as he said he does know you, Zell and Seifer as well as me and Rinoa so he could be useful.�

�He�s helping?�

�But when it comes to you he�ll all blah, blah no one�s good enough, Squall�s all perfect.�

The commander frowned. �I told him to stop with the pet names.�

�I think that�s more of a sign of affection than a pet name but anyway if you�re not interested you have to tell him face to face.�

Squall snorted. �Why?�

�Because it�s the nice thing to do so he stops following you and can move on otherwise if he thinks he was a shot you�ll never be rid of him and it�s not fair to lead him on when you know he�s never going to get you.�

�I�m not sure.�

�Of what?�

�He�s Irvine, he�s flirty and a ladies man so what makes you think this isn�t another game? I mean he lost his affection for you pretty quickly didn�t he?�

She chuckled. �Oh I never had a chance with Irvine, we�re just friends that�s all.�

�Why?�

�All he thinks of is you.�

Squall blinked, as if this was news to him. �What?�

�I thought you knew.�

�No.�

�Now I thought it would be best for you to tell him alone and outside of garden so I�ve set you two up on a date tonight.�

�What?! How will that help?�

�Well you never know you might change your mind.�

Squall frowned. �Who�s side are you on?�

�No one�s, I�m everyone�s friend and you know I think if you gave it a go you two would make a nice couple.�

�Don�t even think about it.� He started to walk quicker to get away from her.

She jogged along beside him.

�Wait! You�ll meet him at the front gate tonight and then from there you can go wherever you want.�

�We won�t be going anywhere, it won�t take very long.�

She shrugged, watching Squall get into the lift at the end of the corridor and disappear. She turned on her heel and ran back through the dorms to Irvine�s room, barging in without knocking as usual.

�Hey Seffie.� He called from the living room, instantly knowing who it was, everyone else would have knocked.

She ran into the living room and stopped in front of him. Her friend was sitting on his brown with his arms up over the back of it in a relaxed pose.

�I have news, dating agency news.�

�But I�m not in the agency.�

�But Squall is! I got you a date with Squall!�

Irvine raised an eyebrow. �Really? How the hell did you manage that?�

�Well he thinks it�s not a date, he thinks he�s meeting you so you can tell to leave him alone but�� She grinned. �I was hoping you could�. distract him a little.� She giggled.

�I�ll do my best.� He grinned back.

�Really? I wanted to warn you, didn�t want you to go out there and get your heart broken honey.�

�I�m warned, prepped, good to go.�

�Sure?�

�Yeah thanks.�

�.

Squall was really starting to regret this plan as he left his room. He wore exactly the same clothes that he wore on his date with Rikuo because he remembered how much Irvine approved of the shirt he wore. He had almost taken it off again, remembering that this was Not a date! But it had taken him so long to get into the thing, he can�t be bothered to wrestle out of it again.

He had managed to stop himself from taking to long to get dressed as he repeated over and over. It�s not a date, it�s not a date.

He arrived five minutes late to find Irvine already there, staring off into the distance. He wore a different trench coat, a long silver dusty coat and his hair was loose with his usual hat.

As he walked nearer his feet must have made a noise because the cowboy turned and smiled at him.

�Hey.�

He also wore a blue shirt with the top two buttons undone and a pair of black pants, his trench coat had two buttons done up around the waist.

�Hi.� Squall answered, stopping quite a distance away causing Irvine to come to him. �I got you this.�

He handed Squall a single white slightly drooping daisy. The brunette frowned first at the flower then at the cowboy. �Thank you.�

Irvine waited for the speech that Selphie had warned him about. �You look good.�

�Should do, you dressed me remember?� Squall said, regarding the time Irvine had told him what to wear for his date with Rikuo and had actually put the shirt on Squall himself.

�Come on I�ll buy you a drink.�

Squall frowned. No wait I was supposed to��

Irvine smiled. �It�s okay I know Seffie told me.�

�She did?�

�Yeah and if you still feel that way later tonight then fine but one little drink�s not going to hurt is it?�

Squall frowned. �I don�t know.�

Irvine took Squall�s hand and gently led him away, waiting to meet resistance.

The brunette slowly followed him not resisting even though he thought he should, pulling his hand from Irvine to walk beside him, daisy still in his other hand.

The cowboy used his now free arm to put his arm around Squall�s shoulders.

�What?� He asked, at the look he received.

�I�m not one of your women.� He shrugged the arm off.

�Never said you were darlin�.� He fidgeted with his hands moving them a lot, a nervous gesture.

Irvine was nervous, well good he deserved to be.

�So what did you and Rikuo talk about?�

�The weather?�

Irvine raised an eyebrow. �Seriously?�

�After he had called Rinoa a slut and I said his brother looked like he was dressed by his mother.�

Irvine chuckled. �You know you really are a smooth talker.�

�I know.�

�And so full of surprises I bet there�s a talkative funny guy just waiting to burst out of you.�

Squall frowned. �I don�t do funny.�

�Except when you try to make speeches because that�s just-� He stopped at the dangerous look Squall shot him.

�Err- Never mind, sorry.� He looked at the floor like a scolded child.

They were just about to walk past a doorway when Irvine walked him inside. �Here it is!�

�What?� Squall frowned at the crowded bar that Irvine had pulled him into. �Is this where you were leading me to?�

�This place is great.�

Squall eyed a gay couple sitting at table. �Irvine is this a gay bar?�

�Bi sexual.�

The brunette frowned as his friend disappeared weaving through the crowds in the busy bar, he thought about just leaving but then he�d probably never hear the end of it so he tried to follow Irvine past the tables and through the groups of people.

Squall jumped as a hand brushed his ass, scolding himself for being silly over what was most likely an accident, he turned and walked into a wall. He looked up and the �wall� looked down at him with bright blue eyes, those eyes winked at him. Squall swallowed, putting his hands on the guy�s chest to push himself off.

When he moved to walk around him, the wall moved in front of him again. He looked up and glared at him, the glare didn�t do as much good on a 6ft 6� muscle bound guy who had no idea who he was.

�Excuse me.� He said, trying to step round him again.

The guy still blocked his path.

�Move!� He said in his best �I could cut your head off if I wanted to� voice.

�Aw no don�t go, stay and keep me company.� The wall said in a surprisingly effeminate voice for such a big guy.

Irvine suddenly appeared and pulled Squall away by the arm.

�I don�t like this place.�

�Oh come on don�t say that, you haven�t been here long enough yet.� He pushed Squall onto a bar stool and put a drink under his nose.

The brunette frowned at the bottle of blue, studying it as if it would kill him. �What�s this?�

�A drink, you drink it.�

�Looks like one those horrible things Selphie drinks.�

�That�s because it is.�

Another frown. �I don�t like this place.�

�Fine if you really don�t like it we�ll leave just drink your drink.�

Squall took a small sip and seemed to contemplate the taste.

�Well?�

�I don�t know.� He took a long swig. �It�s alright.�

Irvine grinned. �See?�

�But I still don�t like it here.�

The cowboy sighed. �You�re really stubborn aren�t you? Fine you want to go, we�ll go.�

Squall picked up his bottle and emptied it a few longs swigs, putting it on the counter and turning to Irvine. �Let�s go.�
