strange echoes
Things that I think about in class when I don't have to think. Yes, nearly the entire contents of this entry are quotes. Yes, I should be writing a philosophy paper. Are we done now?
Every time I hear these lyrics...
"I loved you while he was in you in the shower

""I found you once." Zell examined the embroidery on his towel. "The two of you looked like you just...belonged here, kinda golden in the light and- Seifer held your face as he kissed you." Zell slowly rubbed at his bangs, frowning at them as they dangled over the bridge of his nose. "He looked almost... gentle." (...) "I went back to the door and made sure nobody bugged you." Zell let the terry cloth crumple into his hands. "Stood guard every day that semester. I may be an idiot but I know destiny when I see it. Besides, I know how privacy is hard to come by around here."
Squall was silent a long moment. "You kept watch all that time? But you hated Seifer, even then. You could have called him in and-"
"Gotten you in trouble?" Zell wondered frantically if he was giving too much away, Squall was rumored to have as much power of observation as a gift-wrapped box of gravel but Zell knew better. "Nah. Besides. Seifer knew I saw him, knew all that time I could have called him in and didn’t. Drove him nuts but he couldn’t touch me. As long as he wasn’t doing anything unwanted I didn’t mind keeping a lookout."
Several things to say filtered through Squall’s mind, but at last he settled only on "thank you."
