You and Me

Understanding

Squall walked in a way one can describe as 'fuck off'. If glares could kill people the entire existence of the human race would be 10 feet underground, and they be rolling in their graves. Everyone in the streets avoid him in order to save their own skins. He stalked up to the apartment complex that held his newest friend, Noctis. Normally, he would go to the others, however, due to most of them having relationships of their own right now; he didn't want to deal with the 'love eyes' in his current state.

He didn't bother with the front desk man and went to the elevator. He pushed the six button and waited impatiently while the stupid elevator music was playing. Once heard the familiar ding, he fasten his pace to the 615 room. He ranged the doorbell and heard a low voice on the other side. He stepped back once the door open and a familiar face was revealed. The dark haired teenager blinked in shock and confusion.

"Ah, Squall? What are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure..."

Noctis walked to the side and let the angry teen in. Squall took off shoes in angrily fashion and walk into the living room. He froze in shock and disbelief of seeing a complete trash yard in the apartment. The mess contained of dirty -that probably haven't been washed that only the Six knows- clothes, dishes -piles upon piles of filth that was caked of bile and unknown substance on them- dishes, trash -that was...oh my Six did something just moved?!-, and it stink really bad in the apartment too.

"The hell, dude?"
"Ehh, I'm not good at chores. At least, the rest of the house doesn't look like my room..."
"Oh my god! What? Did you lived in a palace before here? At least learn how to clean?!"
Noctis froze at the comment but replied with embarrassment,"sorry..."

Squall only shook his head and wonder over to the sink. He grabbed the trash bags and two pair of gloves. He threw the one pair of gloves towards Noctis's direction while putting on his. Noctis followed suite with a red face of embarrassment and shame. He hoped no one see this mess of an apartment, and he was surprised no one complain, yet. He's been going over to Cloud's house to have their...study time, but Cloud didn't questioned anything and just kisses him with lusty eyes.

"Come on, I should at least teach you how to clean." he sighed and then chuckled.
Noctis blushed,"okay thanks."

They both started cleaning the living room. Squall ordered Noctis to pick up the trash that surrounded the flat screen television and coffee table. He grabbed the cleaning supplies and started to spray the table. He wiped it down with cloth wipes that he found underneath the sink. He noticed that the table was a nice, black oak table and had a nice pattern that had an old Irish design that was probably lost a long time ago, so naturally he wondered how on the Six did Noctis get such a table in the first place. He turn around to get a good look of the strange boy he is helping, currently, and saw Noctis picking up the dirty clothes and putting them in the laundry basket. He sighed in exhaustion from the days' events and questioned himself about how he get himself into these situations.

"Guess, I'm taking him to my house to wash his clothes..." he thought to himself.
"So, can I ask you the reason why you are upset or not?" Noctis said softly; however, Squall heard a hint of humor in his voice.
He rolled his eyes and replied,"Rinoa cheated on me..."
Noctis eyes widen in disbelief,"holy shit...so, whatcha gonna do now?"
"Obliviously, break up with her. Afterwards, I have no idea because is not like I can avoid her. For fuck sake, she's in my English class!"
"You got a point there...you can help clean my apartment with me after school?"
He laughed,"you like that wouldn't you?"
He hummed with a small smile,"yep."

They continued to clean in silence and enjoyed the others' accompany. Squall finished polishing the coffee table and sanitizing it. He threw the trash in the bag, and he went to turn around when he notice something shiny inside the bag and raised an eyebrow. He reached in and grabbed the object and saw it was a ring. It was so black that at first he thought it had dirt on it, but he saw it was supposed to be dark. He inspect it closely and saw the fine craftsman of the ring. It had vine like pattern on the band and opens then dips down again while one vine went through whole band, on the other side the band was pure gold –that what he assumed-, on top the band there was a knight or warrior of some kind that had a gem or jewel in the sword that pointed downwards with other swords going out of said knight, however, what unsettle him was the knight that seemed to be bearing into his soul and digging a sword into his very core, which scared the hell out of him. He was about to ask Noctis why he threw a ring away, but he decide against it considering that he has no clue who this guy was, and he was cautious of this fact.
