Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Forget the Past ❯ Drunken Regret ( Chapter 1 )

Irvine

I couldn't help but stare at him from across the room. He was downing shots again. It seems like he's always doing that now a days since Rin left him. Poor guy, Rin was just starting to get him to open up. Sometimes I wonder if she ever realized how close she was to breaking that icy shield. Hn, as soon as she went back home he just closed himself up again, but this time it was worse. He hardly ever talks to anyone anymore, except when he's drunk. Maybe I can use that to my advantage…

I stood up debating whether or not I should go through with my plan. I don't know what it was about him that made me want him so much. His eyes, they were so gray, so clouded. They say you can tell a lot by a persons eyes. It was nearly impossible to tell anything about Squall from his eyes. He shielded himself from everything and everyone, but I'm going to change all that tonight. I'll make sure of it.

I began walking over to him. He grabbed another shot and downed it. I sighed as a stood next to him and placed my hands on his shoulders, “That the twelfth one tonight Squall.”

He just stared at the glass no even caring about the fact that I was touching him.

I sighed again, “You're going to make this harder than I thought, you know.”

That time he seemed to hear me. He looked at me with confused, but serious eyes and raised his left eyebrow ever so slightly. God he looked so hot when he was caught off guard, “Make what harder Irvine?”

I couldn't help but laugh at the way he said that. I knew what he meant, but my mind registered it as something totally different. All I could do at that point was grin at him.

For a moment I thought I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes. Maybe it was the light, I'm not quite sure… Suddenly his mind caught on and his eyes narrowed, “Answer me Kinneas.”

I laughed slightly, “What do you think it meant Squall? Come on, it's not that hard to figure out is it?” I moved my left hand from his shoulder and grabbed a piece of his hair and twirled it around my finger. I took my right hand and ran it along the side of his neck barely touching his skin. I felt him flinch under my touch. He stood up and turned around to face me and I crossed my arms.

I stared into his eyes and grinned, “Like I said, is it really that hard to figure out?”

He sighed, “Kinneas, I'm not drunk and I'm not stupid.”

I frowned a bit, “You've had twelve shots and you're saying you're not drunk?” I grinned and took a step towards him, surprisingly he didn't move, “I find that very hard to believe.”

He just crossed his arms and leaned against the bar. Our eyes were still locked; I don't think he even realized how close I was to him. Before he knew it I was standing right in front of him. I couldn't read anything in his eyes, so I just decided to go for it. I leaned in and brushed my lips lightly against his and pulled back to look into his eyes.

His eyes were wide and he looked completely shocked. Well, there's one way to catch a lion off guard. I just hope he's not going to kill me for that.

Squall

I couldn't believe what just happened. I found myself blushing slightly and I looked at the ground to try and hide it, but apparently it's hard to hide anything from Irvine.

He grinned slightly and tilted my chin up with a single finger, “Are you blushing Squall? Hn, I thought it'd be harder to break you than this. Guess I was wrong.” He ran a finger over my lips. His skin was so soft…I couldn't get the taste of his lips to come off of mine.

I was shaking a bit, not because I was scared, but because I had no idea what to do. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and sighed before opening them again. Irvine was staring at my hands, shit…he knows I'm shaking. He removed his finger from my lips, but kept my chin tilted up. He leaned in again, but this time he didn't just brush his lips against mine, he kissed me.

My breath caught in my throat. He lips were so soft. I felt his tongue press lightly against my lips. I opened my mouth slightly and his tongue entered my mouth. Before I knew it I was kissing him back. He finally pulled back and looked into my eyes with that same grin on his face.

Irvine

Well, like I said, there's one way to catch a lion off guard. I just didn't think it'd be this easy. I stared into his eyes; they were full of passion and confusion. Who wouldn't blame him. He loved Rin, I could tell. If he didn't he wouldn't be drinking like he is. I saw tears in his eyes and frowned a bit, “Squall…”

He glared at me through watery eyes, “Jackass, what makes you think I like you like that anyways?”

I frowned more, “If you didn't then why did y-“

“Whatever.” He started walking away and I placed a hand on his shoulder. He quickly shrugged it off and walked to his room. Damn, I was so close to breaking that shield!
