[As he arrives at their undisclosed meeting location, he looks like hell.]

Heyy.

[Sounds like it too. Potentially destroying 2 relationships in one fell swoop isn't a great feeling.]

[when she sees him, she runs a hand down her face and sighs]

I'm not gonna lie and say this is totally unexpected!

I'm too moody for you these days, right? I'm not... demonstrative enough for you, or whatever; I'm not giving you what you want.

Huh?? [He's caught completely by surprise, the mournful look turning to one of confusion.] What the hell are you talking about?

I'm talking about why you went and made out with someone else!

But it has- [He shakes his hands.] Ok. It's kinda complicated, but it literally has nothin' to do with dissatisfaction in our relationship AT ALL.

[she just looks at him skeptically]

Ok. You might want to sit down. So.. Leon came over, alcohol was involved [No lies, his breath still reeks.] an' ok.. remember how a week or so ago you came over after not being around for a while an' asked for a "distraction"...?

He.. came over after not bein' around for a while an' somewhere 'round the conversation, we lost eachother, so I was on one page an' he was on the other, an' I thought he was asking for the same thing you'd been. So normally.. with anyone else.. they'd've been kicked out on the spot. ..but this.. he's kind've a weird case. [That confused sorrowful look is back, coupled in with shame.]

You thought he wanted you to kiss him, so you did?

...in a nutshell.. it's.. a little more complicated than that?

It'd better be, because that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I know! [He let out a sigh.

Actually i probly overcomplicated it. What the hell is WRONG with me?]

I think.. ok have you been so consumed by a need for approval from someone that you do really stupid things..??

[yes, she has]

[and sometimes that person wasn't even someone who was around to give approval]

I didn't cheat on someone I was dating because of a need for approval, that's for fucking sure.

[His hand went straight to the back of his neck in that age old tic of his as he averted his eyes.]

Yea..

Do you like him?

Not like that, no..

[another skeptical look]

Seriously?

Yea.. I toldju. It's really weird an' kinda complicated. Like I don't even know where to start.

[Moments pass in silence. He starts to fidget.

I'm sorry is probly a good place..] I'm sorry. I really fucked up.

Well, try to start. You might as well!

[Shit.. start at the beginning..? ] Ok. So. Y'know how I came here alone..? Well.. that guy.. is one of my cell from home, onea the ones i traveled the world and fought alongside.. but from like an alternate future. Or something like that. [There's a slight shrug.]

[And now for Zell being aware of his feelings with Zell.] Anyway I feel way too attached to him 'cause he's like that weird reminder. Doesnt know me at all, though, which is pretty awful. ..an' kinda funny 'cause I know him through an' through.

[Although that takes on new meaning now. Sorry Rinoa..

He pauses for a moment.]

This isn't really convincing me that you don't like him, Zell.

I know! I'm getting to that! I don't.. have that kinda feeling for him.. [Even if the fangirls disagree.] I just.. don't want to be with him like that.

Anyway, we started hangin' out, an' it was refreshing, [After all the getting outve the way that I'd been avoiding him 'cause I didn't want him to think I was usin' him as a substitute.] but anyway, so I didn't see him for a while, then yesterday he came over. So we were talkin' an' drinking, an I misread a lotta things he said. [God, why am I so freakin' thickskulled sometimes?]

Somewhere 'round the way, [I thought he was gonna leave 'cause i wasn't taking a hint..] everything got really confusing.

So you thought he wanted you to kiss him. And you did it.

This is still really dumb, Zell.

Who was it, anyway?

Again, I know! .....I didn't..

Anyway It's Leon.

Great. So you're going to have Albedo trying to kill you, too.

No, they broke up. That was uhh.. partve the misconception. Well maybe.. shit add him to the list of people who's lives I've thrown a rock at with yesterday..
