Land Shark Common Area, Tuesday Night: Impromptu Girls' Slumber Party

[angelo_wings]

Rinoa's BFF Ariel was having a rough week. That was no fun. And -- inspired by the fact that most of her cabinmates were female (seven of the eight of them, in fact) -- Rinoa had had an Idea.

Which was: a completely disgustingly girly party. Pajamas, make-overs, gossip, and really bad romantic comedies.

Rinoa had her jammies on already, and had made Ariel help her set up. Munchies, make-up, and movies. What more could they want?

She had even posted a few so very handwavey signs outside, in front of their cabin and places where the other cabins might see, with the important points: Girl Party, exactly how girly it was going to be, and NO BOYS ALLOWED.

Except Jono, since he was the eighth boy in the cabin and all. He could be an honorary girl for the night!! Wouldn't he be thrilled?

Especially if someone tried braiding his hair.

(OKAY SO: whore4trash and furnace_face modded with permission, and they totally rock for jointly inspiring this post. This is in the landshark common room but is totally open tooooooo:

- anybody who lives in Landshark, naturally!
- any girl student who wants to come hang out and be nauseated by the frou-frou-ness of it all
- despite the poster, any BOY student who wants to come can totally either (a) run screaming in terror or (b) stay and be girly. Fair warning: staying means you WILL be forced to endure horrific romcoms and probably get your nails painted.

Wait for the OCD The OCD has been up for hours zomg I hope no one was still waiting!!)

Unless those innermost feelings were called upon for the dare. "I dare you to kiss the prettiest female in the room," Karla said, endeavoring to look innocent.

Don't worry, Squall. Karla won't be sad when you don't pick her.

That was just mean.

Squall glared at her.

He slowly walked over to Rinoa, not sure what he was going to do. He was shaking a little, even.

He looked at her. "So..." he said, nervously.

...

"Who do you think is the prettiest girl here?"

There, that was an out, wasn't it? A safe way to avoid it? Probably not.

She should have been grumpy about him putting things back on her. But he was shaking and her heart was melting into little pieces.

He could try to deny it all he wanted, and he'd continue to, but this ... made it crystal clear. Even more so than that moment with the make-up, before.

She stood up, cleared her throat, and found the easiest answer on hand.

"You are," she said lightly. "Those braids are doing great things to your eyes."

She reached up to brush one of them away from his face. And then, she leaned in, up on her tiptoes ... and pressed her lips against his cheek.

That didn't cover his kiss, no. But she'd propped the door open for a possible out. If, and only if, he wanted it.

Squall took a deep breath. Was it always like this? His skin tingled all over. That settled it -- he was NEVER going to kiss her, not ever, because there wasn't any way he could stay uninvolved if he did.

"I'm not a girl," he insisted. "But you are." And he turned and lightly kissed her on her cheek. As grand romantic gestures went, it... wasn't. But this WAS Squall, after all.

She was, of course, just going to stand here for a moment. Lingering. Give him a chance to have his resolve break.

And, well, drink in how close he was.

It didn't last long. He pulled away pretty quickly.

He gave her a quick, genuine smile, and then stomped grumpily back to his place.
