Hallway outside room 421, Monday night

Squall didn't have anything to do other than sit around and stare at things, so he might as well do it on the floor in the hallway outside Rinoa's room, right

It was a very calm and somewhat thoughtful Rinoa who climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, Monday night. She'd been up all night and slept all day and that might throw her off, for trying to sleep again tonight.

She couldn't sleep tomorrow; she had a library shift.

For now, she had her bed, her favorite puppy ever, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand she had a stalker boyfriend sitting in the hallway outside her room.

"I told you I'd be fine," she teased, gently.

"You did," Squall agreed. "And you are." He could still worry, okay?

He stood up, in case she wanted a hug or a kiss or whatever. "Everything went successfully?"

Or in case he did. Come on, he could admit that after a month, couldn't he?

"Of course it did," she said. "How long have you been here? I should have called."

[whateverknight]

Okay, so he did. He reached out and hugged her tight. "I dunno. Not long." Not, like, days or anything. "If I had been worried, I would have called," he told her. If he'd remembered that he was carrying a cell phone now. "I was just waiting, that's all."
