Rating: NC-17


As soon as Squall returned to the solid ground of Gaia, there was one place he needed to be. He slashed his way through any remaining Heartless that stood in his way as he ran through the streets of Balamb. He was tired and injured, but he didn't care. He needed to get to Rinoa and Loire.

She'd heard Balthier's orders through the Strahl's sound system and she'd stayed in the house. If it wasn't for Loire, she'd have been out there, fighting the Heartless, but she was a mother now, and Loire came first. Standing by the window, she rocked him against her shoulder, looking out as the Heartless stopped appearing.

Squall didn't stop running until he reached Rinoa's house. He skidded to a halt outside the door, knocking on it. "Rin??" He called out, panting for breath.

Rinoa put Loire in his crip and rushed to the door at Squall's voice, pulling it open and gasping softly. "Squall! You're okay!" She literally dragged him in, looking up at him with wide eyes.

Squall let out a relieved laugh, instantly wrapping an arm around Rinoa, pulling her into a kiss.

Rinoa squeaked, curling her arms around his neck, laughing against his mouth as he kissed her.

Squall wrapped his other arm around Rinoa, dipping her back as he kissed her, almost like a scene from some great hero movie, only not quiet as cheesy.

Rinoa laughed, blushing brightly as she curled her leg around the man's hip, soon breaking the kiss, looking up at him as he held her back. "Well, hello there, stranger."

"Hi yourself." Squall smiled, gently guiding Rinoa back to her feet, flushing just slightly. "You and Loire are okay? No injuries? No problems?"

"We're fine. Loire was a little bit tearful, but I think that's normal..." She reached up, cupping his face. "You're okay? Did you win?" She smiled softly at him.

"The boys sealed the door. If it can be called a win. I didn't really play all that much of a part in it all." He rested his hand on top of hers, returning the smile.

"You were there, that's what matters." She leaned up to kiss him again, laughing softly. "You... wanna see him?" She didn't wait for his answer as she headed off to Loire's room, scooping him from his crib, snuggling him as he wiggled in her arms.

Squall followed, smiling brighter as he saw his son. "Hey there, Soldier." He whispered, reaching out to touch the boy's cheek tenderly. "How're you doing? Protecting your mommy from the mosters, huh?"

"Just like his daddy," she replied, handing the boy to his father as he squirmed, cooing and gurgling. Rinoa laughed lightly. "That's the happiest he's looked all day."

Squall held the boy protectively. "Heh, I hope he never grows up like his daddy." He poked Loire's nose lightly. "Get yourself a good 9-5 office job, and when you find a girl as wonderful as your mom, you treat her right."

The boy squeaked and wiggled, blinking at his father. Rinoa laughed lightly, gripping Squall's jaw and tiptoeing to kiss him firmly. "Daddy isn't all that bad."

Squall smiled softly, before curling his free arm around Rinoa to pull her into another kiss. "Well, he is dashing and handsome..." He joked.

"Weeeeeellll~..." She laughed and soon grinned at him before shifting to sit in her chair, pointing to the sofa. "Sit down, I think we need to talk."

Squall gave a nod, sitting down on the sofa, bouncing Loire on his lap slightly. "Sure. What do you wanna talk about, Rin?"

"I... well... I've been thinking," she murmured, hugging her knees to her chest and looking at the floor.

Squall frowned, shifting a little to cradle Loire against his shoulder. "What is it, Rin?" He asked, looking concerned.

She gave an awkward sigh. "I don't want us to... just be Loire's parents. I want us to be... Squall and Rinoa again..." She sighed again, blushing.

Squall swallowed hard. "Squall and Rinoa? As in... ... together?" He asked, not quite sure he had the right end of the proverbial stick.

"I... I mean, if you and Balthier are... not going to admit how right you are for each other, I... I'd like to be... the one you're with." She mumbled.

"Me and Balthier? Woah... We're... we're not like that. I mean... he's married, and he has Krja, and the little one on the way. We... we'd never work, not really. We're too different. I'm a man of rules and he... well he's a pirate..." Squall flushed, not wanting to admit just how in love he was with the pirate. "You realise I can make all the promises in the world to be faithful, but I can't guarantee to keep them. I'll try. I'll try so damn hard. I never want to hurt you again."

She laughed softly, knowing just how much he was denying himself by saying they weren't like that. "I don't think I expect you to keep them anymore... if you want to sleep with other people, then that's okay. Just... don't rub it in my face, y'know?" She smiled softly, hugging her knees tighter. "I can't force you to be faithful, because I know you wouldn't be happy. Just, if you sleep with someone, don't come to me stinking of sex or covered in bite marks."

Squall got up from the sofa, crossing over to Rinoa's chair, kneeling in front of her. He playfully, and oh so gently nudged Loire. "Get out of it pup, the big kids are busy." He teased, before leaning in to kiss Rinoa softly.

Rinoa laughed softly, kissing Squall back gently. "Go and put Loire to bed, hm?" She smiled softly at him, still hugging her knees tightly.

Squall nodded and shifted to stand, taking Loire back to his crib. He changed the infant before settling him down to sleep, toying with his tiny fingers. "Sweet dreams, little one."

While Squall took Loire to bed, Rinoa stood, stripping out of her dress and untying her hair. She wore lacy black underwear that made her look far more mature and sexy than she really tended to be. Heading to the bedroom, she left the door open, laying on the bed and waiting for Squall to find her.

Once Loire was settled, Squall turned on the baby monitor and returned to the living room. "Rin?" He frowned a little when he didn't see her in there, he checked the kitchen, another frown. He made his way to Rinoa's bedroom, noticing the open door, he drummed his fingers against the doorframe, leaning in. "Rino~oooh..." He flushed bright as the sight of a very sexy, very inviting Rinoa.

She was leaning up on her elbows, one knee bent, her legs slightly apart. "Coming? You will be." She smirked at him, beckoning him with her finger.

Squall flushed more, stepping into the bedroom. He shut the door behind himself, half wondering what had happened to the shy, prudish Rinoa. He slipped off his jacket, followed by his t-shirt as he crossed the room. His skin was marred with marks from the battle, and he'd had no time to bathe.

She shifted to sit up, stroking her hands down his chest as he came near, leaning in to kiss him. "Mmn..." She wasn't really prepared for this, since it'd been a long time, but she was willing to let him take what he needed.

Squall returned the kiss, running a gun-calloused hand through Rinoa's hair. He trailed his lips along her jaw, down her neck. "Are you sure?" He whispered. "We don't have to rush."

"I'm sure." She smiled, tilting her head to let him get to more of her own pale skin. She brushed her fingers through his hair, smiling softly.

Squall's mouth found her neck, nibbling and kissing at it softly, his hands running over her arms lightly.

She smiled at him, leaning back and soon beginning to unfasten Squall's pants, opening all the buckles. "Off..." she murmured, looking at him.

"Yes ma'am." Squall replied, shifting off of the bed to remove his pants, his hand ghosting over the small scar that remained from his injury. It was strange how such a severe injury had left such a small scar.

She reached around to unclip her bra, slipping out of it and soon sliding off her underwear, leaving herself entirely naked as she lay back, smiling at him.

Squall swallowed hard, looking Rinoa's body over for a long moment, before resting a knee on the bed, leaning across her to kiss her again.

Rinoa smiled, settling back on the bed and curling her arms around his neck. "Mm~" She broke the kiss a moment later, kissing his nose. "You're allowed to touch me, silly."

Squall flushed more, cupping Rinoa's breasts in his hands, dipping his head to kiss and nuzzle, before taking a nipple in his mouth.

She gasped softly, her breath shallowing as he touched and kissed. Her fingers ran through his hair and gentle moans escaped her.

He flicked his tongue lightly, curling it around the nub lightly as his hands massaged her chest. He soon switched to the other breath, teasing it in the same way.

Rinoa moaned, arching a little bit. "Squall... nhh... I want you inside me..." she whispered, her face flushed. "I-in the drawer... condoms..."

Squall leaned across her, reaching into the drawer. He didn't ask why she had condoms, it wasn't his business. He curled his fingers around one foil, before settling back on his knees. He tore it open carefully with his teeth while his free hand slipped between Rinoa's legs to tease her sex.

Rinoa gasped, moaning a little afterwards. She had condoms simply because she'd been with only one man since Squall. It didn't end well, but she wouldn't tell him that.

Squall's thumb teased Rinoa's clit as his fingers stroked against her, before slipping his middle finger inside her, rocking it lightly.

She moaned, arching her back as he touched her. "Hhnn... Squall... hurry up..." she pouted at him a little, looking at him with lusty eyes.

Squall gave a soft, lusted laugh. "And I thought it was the girls who were crazy for foreplay." He teased, withdrawing his finger gently as he put the condom on.

"Maybe... it's been a while, though," she replied, leaning up on her elbows, watching him put the condom on, reaching out to gently touch the scar on his torso.

Squall tensed a little as that scar was touched, gasping softly. He flushed a little, shifting to settle between Rinoa's legs. He guided his length to her, rubbing against her a few times, before pushing the head inside carefully.

Rinoa gasped, parting her legs a little more before drawing him into a kiss, rocking her hips to draw him in deeper, her face flushed as she moaned softly into his mouth.

Squall returned the kiss, moaning softly at just how damn good Rinoa felt. He rested his hands either side of her head as he began to thrust, slow at first.

Rinoa closed her eyes, moaning and arching her back, lifting her legs to hook them around his waist, her hips rocking to meet his at each thrust, her hand resting on his shoulders.

Squall thrust in all the way, pausing for a second before pulling almost all the way out, thrusting back in deeper. He moaned soft, digging his nails into the bed.

Rinoa gasped, arching up a little more, stroking her hands down his arms, rocking with every thrust, moaning as he moved inside her.

Squall watched Rinoa's face as he thrust into her, dipping his head to kiss her again, purring against her lips. "I love you."

She looked up at him, smiling softly as he kissed her, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Mm~ I love you, too," she murmured, rocking with him.

Squall laughed soft through his moans, looking into Rinoa's eyes, remembering just why he fell in love with her.

She panted softly, closing her eyes a moment later, moaning as her body arched and writhed beneath him from the pleasure.

The scarred male, slipped a hand between their bodies, teasing Rinoa's clit with his fingers as he thrust deeper into her.

Rinoa gasped sharply, arching her back up. "Squall... close..." she moaned as she felt her orgasm fast approaching.

Squall dipped his head to lick and nibble on Rinoa's throat as he continued to thrust, his fingers relentless against her clit. He could feel his own orgasm building up, but he would make sure Rinoa came first.

She moaned and squirmed, arching her back and gasping sharply as she came, calling out his name through her moans, her hands squeezing his shoulders.

Even if he hadn't been close already, that, right there would've been enough to make him come instantly. With a final thrust, he came, spilling his seed into the condom as he cried out her name.

She shivered a little, settling down on the bed, panting softly. "Heh..." she smiled up at him, drawing him down for a kiss.

Squall returned the kiss, panting breathlessly against Rinoa's lips. He withdrew carefully, removing the condom and knotting it before tossing it in the trash, settling down at Rinoa's side. "That was... rather nice."

She chuckled softly and snuggled up into him, yawning a little. "It was, hm?" Rinoa stroked her hand over his cheek, smiling softly.

Squall rested his head against Rinoa's, smiling lazily. "And that underwear was rather sexy."

"Heh, well, it was for you. I was hoping you'd show up when t was all over," she murmured, smiling softly.

Squall flushed a little, pressing a kiss to the top of Rinoa's breast. "So, you've been thinking a lot about this? About us?"

Rinoa smiled and nodded slightly. "Well, I have a lot of time to sit and think here... Loire isn't great to talk to..."

Squall gave a soft laugh, trailing a finger up and down Rinoa's arm. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too, Squall." She smiled and rested her head against his shoulder. "Stay here with me for a while?"

Squall nodded, kissing Rinoa's forehead. "For as long as you need me, Rin."

Rinoa smiled, curling her hand into his. "It's not just me that needs you around, Squall..."

"Seems you're stuck with me for the next eighteen years then." Squall teased, playing with her fingers.

"Almost seventeen. He's nearly one soon." She chuckled lightly, smiling as she lay with him, shivering slightly.

Squall pulled the blanket up with his toes, wrapping it snuggly around them both. "Well, I need to make up for all the time I missed."

"Yeah, you do." She poked his nose before snuggling closer to him. "Don't worry, though. I'm not going to tie you down." She murmured.

"Well you could... I have enough belts..." Squall murmured, laughing a little. He really had to get his mind out of the gutter.

She gasped softly before slapping his arm playfully. "You... that's too much time with Balthier and Seifer. Perv~" she purred.

"Heh. Well... I need some use for al those belts." He laughed, nuzzling her cheek with his own. "Besides, surely the thought of me tied down and naked beats this thought..." He murmured, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "My Dad, Kiros and Ward, together, at once."

Rinoa let out a horrified squeak, covering her mouth with both hands, looking at him with wide eyes. "Really?!"

Squall gave a laugh. "Well... I dunno, but I have a feeling it'll happen. Kiros kissed my Dad and everything."

"Ughh... I have nothing against people being with people they love but they're all so old!" She scrunched her face up. "Wrinkly old men!"

Squall laughed more. "You know... I'll probably look like that when I'm Laguna's age - just a little something for you to think about."

"... ... We'll break up before that. I'm going to stay pretty forever. My mother was really beautiful!" She smiled brightly.

"You'll always be pretty to me." Squall replied, taking hold of Rinoa's chin to guide her into yet another kiss.

She smiled lightly, kissing him back before settling against him. "We should sleep while we have a chance. Loire will be awake soon."

"Sleep sounds good." He fell silent for a moment. "Not gonna flee once I'm asleep, are you?" He asked, voice worried.

"Can't. It's my place," she teased, snuggling up into him. "Besides, I think I'm comfy here." She murmured.

Squall curled his arms around her, praying his sleep would no longer be filled with nightmares. He smiled, kissing her head. "I'm glad. Sleep well, okay?"

"You too," she whispered, smiling softly as she closed her eyes, curled up against him as sleep gradually found her.

Squall settled his head against the pillows, closing his eyes to try and find sleep.
