"Yo, Squall!"
Zell's feet clattered down the hallway after him and he paused, not turning, but waiting for Zell to catch up. He flinched only a little when Zell slammed into him, and submitted to an overly enthusiastic hug. Then he noticed that Zell was shaking.
"Is something wrong?" he asked, without wasting his breath on any greeting.
"Selphie made me come," Zell said, pulling away and giving Squall a careful look. Then, oddly enough, he looked down at his feet, rubbing at something on the floor with his toe. Squall raised an eyebrow at the stance, which he recognised as Rinoa's stance when she wanted something out of him. When she was slightly embarrassed.
"What?"
"Iloveyou."
"What?"
Squall just looked confused. Zell cursed to himself and then leaned forward, grabbing Squall's shoulder and pulling down and forward rather unceremoniously into a kiss. "I love you," he said, when he pulled away, and tried to grin his carefree grin, "Selphie dared me to tell you. I should never tell her any secrets, I know, I know, but she was really insistent and I think she'd guessed anyway, and... Squall?"
Squall didn't move for a moment, and Zell was just starting to slowly back away, in fact, was just on the point of turning to run for safety when Squall caught hold of his arm, spinning him back around to face him and pushing him up against a wall in the same movement.
Zell's heart pounded.
Squall didn't smile. He barely gave any indication of how he was feeling, but he pinned Zell to the wall for a moment, looking at him, and then leaned forward to kiss him again, a little more gently, a little more thoroughly, than Zell had kissed him.
And pulled away, murmuring something into Zell's ear that no one else ever heard.
But it brought a grin to Zell's face.
