Zell didn't blame Squall, it was just one of those things that happened. He just wanted Squall to be happy, it wasn't Squall's fault that other feelings popped up. Maybe Zell should have held off on this kind of date until later, after Squall was more used to being in a relationship with him? "You didn't ruin it," he mumbled, looking down again. No, the date probably was too much too soon for Squall. Zell should have thought of that, made their first date a little... less, a movie in one of their rooms, or... or something else...

But Squall's next words stopped that train of thought. Squall was happy, despite the feelings that popped up of not being worthy of it? He closed his eyes and wiped the excess water away with one of his hands before he looked back up again. "So are you... okay with being here?" He knew Squall had earlier, but that was before these feelings came up.
