We rise at dawn [active/closed]
Characters: Squall and Selphie
Content: Squall gets woken up by a visitor bright and early
Location: Squall's room
Time of Day: Morning, backdated to before the html effect
Warnings: None
By all accounts, Squall wasn't really the kind of person who tended to sleep in. There had never been time in the Garden, and he'd carried the habit of rising early into the war between Chaos and Cosmos - which hadn't actually helped, save in making it so that he was capable of falling asleep just about anywhere.
Still, he had to admit that it was nice to be back on the Satellite, even if only because it meant not having to deal with the strangeness of that universe. (He'd forgotten, a little, that it meant he'd be in closeish proximity with Selphie, but well... that problem was soon to solve itself).

So right at the crack of dawn, she bounced out of bed, chirruping and singing, and skipped right on along over to Squall's room. Hrm. He was still asleep. Well. Only one way to fix that.
She jumped up onto the bed and started bouncing up and down. "Wakeupwakeupwakeup~ It's morning~!!"
no subject
It took a moment longer for him to realize that it was Selphie who'd woken up, at which point he promptly wished he could have stayed asleep. Not that it would have gotten her out of his room, but it would have at least been nice.
"What is it?"
no subject
Selphie broke out into a burst of giggles then plopped down on the bed unceremoniously. "It's morning and we've got a whole day ahead to catch up now that you're back!" Even while sitting cross-legged, she was still a bundle of wiggles. "We absoposolutely have to start with something fun!"
Not that seeing Squall groggy and grumpy in the morning wasn't fun in its own fashion, but while they'd been running around saving the world, she'd already seen enough of that. Still, even masked in sunshine and cheer, she genuinely was grateful to have a familiar face around again. Being separated from all her friends blew in a big way.
no subject
"Like what."
As ever, he doesn't exactly sound particularly thrilled, but when has he been when confronted with Selphie at her most perky? (It might be nice to have a familiar face on his end as well, but the perky part is a little grating, this early in the morning.)
no subject
"After that, I think we should organize a welcome back party for everyone." Which meant she'd already volunteered him to help her with that. A soft snicker broke out and the spunky one pointed to Squall's head, "But maybe you better take care of the bedhead first."
no subject
"...A party."
no subject
For a split second, a pensive look flashed across her face, which she immediately forced away with a bright and cheery smile. Her first weeks here were lonely, not that Selphie would ever willingly own up to that. Nor the fact that for the first time in her life, she wasn't surrounded by people and it spooked her.
"Bet you're glad to be back too, huh?"
no subject
Not that he was going to mention that fact. Selphie would only have had a field day with it.
"I ... suppose it would."
no subject
She had to check. It'd be just like him to be all broodypants loner without someone to kick him into action.
no subject
Besides, it was hard to fully commit to being a loner with Zidane around, not that Selphie was aware of that just yet.
no subject
no subject
"I don't think it works like that."
no subject
"You have more friends than you realize, Squall. Loooooots of people look up to you, and we all really like you bunches. You just gotta learn to trust us the way we trust you."
She reached out and poked at his forehead with one finger while scrunching her nose up. "Besides. We saved the world. We have totally earned the right to fun."
no subject
(He still has the crystal, he's pretty sure. He's just not sure if it'll come hand if he asks it. No one else has demonstrated an ability for anything even remotely similar, on board the satellite and Squall has no reason to assume that he'll be the exception to the rule.)
It takes a moment before he answers. He's never really thought of friendship as being trust. Yes, he's realized that he trusts certain people to have his back when he needs them to, but he has a sneaking suspicion that isn't quite the same as what Selphie has in mind. It's... more of a professional thing, to him. A trust that someone can do their job well enough to not need his concern, and he's not really sure that he can actually successfully articulate that fact.
"I do trust people."
no subject
Well, most of them would tell him things. Selphie was probably the worst out of the whole crew about redirecting attention when something was bothering her and forcing on the sunshine and cheer. Most things she'd share with any of her friends, including Squall. But the negative stuff? Not as much.
"But you don't share. Kinda stingy like that, you know. If you trusted us, you'd talk to us more."
no subject
Not everyone was as naturally bouncy as Selphie was, after all.
"Trust doesn't need to mean talking."
no subject
"You're pretty stingy. We never know what's going on in your noggin. Because you never share with us."
Selphie wrinkled her nose then pulled her knees up to her chin. "You know, you can do that sometimes."
no subject
"I'll think about it."
