SECRET dating;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

how to play.

[Waiting on a lover from whom she had to separate (it's beyond complicated), but it's taking a long time. As blindly devoted as she is to him, someone else could catch her eye, but she'd have to hide because all her mates at college know about the mysterious travelling boyfriend who will one day come back to her.]

It had been some time since he and Squall found out they were soulmates. Squall didn't want anyone to know, and Zell still felt like his relationship wasn't anyone else's business (even with that library girl, she and Zell had met up in secret for a while). Sometimes he'd been caught looking at Squall, but he didn't think anyone actually knew the reason and he'd never explained.

He still slept in Squall's bed whenever he could, and he was getting used to the feeling of being in each others arms as sleep overtook them both. He had also gotten used to sex with Squall now, but it still excited him every time he heard the noises and saw the expressions Squall made during the act.

Zell still hadn't told his ma that Squall was his soulmate. Every time he thought about telling her, he worried that she would figure out what they had done at her house. He'd wait a little longer, but she would definitely be the first person he told. And he trusted his ma not to tell anyone else if he asked her not to.

But while Zell didn't mind their close, private relationship, it made dating difficult and Zell really wanted to take Squall on a date. A fairly new concert hall had opened up in Deling City and it was huge with private balconies. He thought it would be perfect, that is if Squall liked any of the new bands that popped up since the radio tower was fixed.

He himself like a few of the bands, and one day he tried to casually talk about them, seeing if Squall like any of them. Fortunately, he did and Zell's eyes lit up in excitement. Though he didn't tell Squall exactly why, just talked about a couple of their songs for a bit.

But the date was set. They had a concert coming up and Zell made sure to buy two tickets for one of the private balconies, under a fake name of course. They were still pretty well-known after saving the world.

Zell had made sure Squall would be free from his duties tonight, spending nearly the entire day helping him out however he could. He didn't explain to Squall why exactly he was doing it, and when Quistis questioned him, he waved her off, saying he was bored. He didn't know if she believed him or not, Quistis was always really smart, but she didn't press him further.

Just as Squall was finishing up, Zell left to grab a bag from his room. They still had some time before seating at the concert began. It should be plenty of time to travel there and change into the clothes he'd bought.

When he returned to the office, he looked around, seeing if Quistis was still there and if he'd need to make an excuse to talk to Squall alone.

[ They're stuck in Yorktown for a month while a new Enterprise is built up from scratch, and Sulu knows he should be grateful for the extended shore leave. It could be longer, given the distance that they are from the closest full-time construction dock, and after nearly having the youth sucked out of him, nearly crashing head-long into the planet's surface from a sheer drop and almost losing Ben and Demora, he needs the break. He should be grateful and he is, for the time that he now has to spend with his family that he hadn't had before, but he's found in the last week of it that he's gotten antsy. He keeps looking out at the stars, keeps being uncomfortable about having to put on civvies instead of his uniform, keeps wishing for that distance from Ben that he'd had for the last three years.

He loves his husband, but he loves his daughter more and they both know it. They both know that Hikaru's heart is always going to be too big for just one person, too desperate to be out in the great expanse of space to be comfortable in married monotony without feeling trapped.

Demora has a play-date all day and Ben's tied up with work, and it gives Hikaru the day. He only intended to go for a walk, to shake off how antsy he's been, but his feet take him straight where he's wanted to go for weeks, without his consent. Jim Kirk's temporary apartment; He knocks without hesitation. He doesn't wait for an invitation when the door opens, instead going in to cup the back of Jim's head with his hand and press their lips together with a longing desperation for a spark of something kinetic. In the same beat as going in for the kiss, Hikaru presses Jim against the wall, just out of the doorway. ]

Fortunately for Zell, Quistis had retired for the evening and Squall was finishing something on the computer. When Zell entered he glanced up from the screen and regarded Zell with a curious expression. Zell had been awful helpful today, spending nearly his entire day with Squall helping him with various tasks (Which was mostly paperwork today…). He wasn’t sure exactly why but he was wrapping up his day rather quickly so he couldn’t complain that much.

“I thought you went home.” He said, taking off his reading glasses. He had needed them for light reading after years of not having them and without them he’d sometimes get headaches.

They didn’t spend every single day together so Squall had assumed Zell had something to do which was he had been so adamant about helping today to get his work hours in. Guess not?

It was easier on Squall to keep everything on the down low. With his name and position it was very easy for journalists to drag his image through the mud and slander Balamb Garden. At least that’s how Quistis had explained it, so public displays of his relationships were strictly off limits. It made things awkward and difficult sometimes, but that’s how things were going to be. At least until the world forgot about Squall Leonhart, but that might not happen any time soon…

But Squall had also prohibited telling their close friends as well. He wasn’t exactly comfortable with even them butting in in his relationship. Not after everything with Rinoa.
