Chapter Four

Squall was in his room, reading the newest Weapons Monthly, it was the weekend so he wanted to relax before he had to go back to the mountains of paperwork. He was cozy in his Headmaster’s “Apartment”, having decorated it himself.

The blue gray walls, midnight blue carpets and black leather furniture, save his favorite recliner. It was a sure thing that his place was one of the most fashionable.

A loud knocking made him jump and Squall quickly got up, putting the magazine down on the oak coffee table. Stepping up to the door he opened it without a thought and came face to face with a crying Edea.

“Matron?” Before he could say anything else she had him in a bone crushing hug. Squall managed to shut the door before dragging them to the couch where they sat. Unsure, Squall held her and nervously patted her back.

‘What the hell happened? I’m sure it was Cid and his derp derp attitude.’ He thought and blushed when Edea snuggled against his chest.

“W-what happened?” He finally asked and she sniffled.

“Cid and I talked about the options us two talked about.” She said, finally pulling away and Squall handed her the Kleenex box. After wiping her tears away and blowing her nose Edea continued.

“Then I brought up why he wanted to stay and about the young girls. He became angry and kicked me out.” She said and Squall now noticed her small suitcase.

‘How the hell did I miss that?’ He thought and focused on the main problem.

“So he didn’t say anything or explain why he wants to stay then?” Squall asked and she gave a sarcastic laugh.

“He said for you, I guess to help.” She said and he raised an eyebrow.

“That’s bullshit. The only time I remotely needed help from that bastard was during the war.” He huffed and this time didn’t bother to apologize.

“I know. I told him so and he got angry.” She said.

“I should just kick him out of Garden.” Squall said, the irritability evident in his voice and she shook her head.

“No, that would just make him get more angry and he’ll throw a tantrum.” She gave a chuckle and gave a smile, making him as well.

“So where are you staying or are you going back to Centra?” He asked.

“I was wondering if…I could possibly stay here for awhile.” She said, her face turning red.

“You mean my “apartment”?” Squall squeaked and cleared his throat.

“If it’s not too much trouble.” She said and Squall went silent.

‘Well at least she’ll be away from Cid, but what will the others say? They’ll want her to be safe and happy, plus when they find out Cid’s being a dick I’m sure they’ll understand.’ He thought and saw her hopeful face.

“Okay you can stay.” Squall caved in and tensed when she hugged him again.

“Oh thank you Squall!” Edea exclaimed and continued to hold him.

‘What did I get myself into?’ He thought and they continued to sit.

Should I continue? Not sure.
