Description

I really drawing these two in their flower field. I really really really do. This is actually a scene drawing from the new story I'm writing. It's from Chapter 6 of my FFVIII story titled The Calm Before the Storm. Here's a small excerpt from the story to what this is a companion piece of:

*****************
Squall collapsed onto the ground, feeling much like he had felt back when was lost in time, before Rinoa had saved him from seemingly inevitable fate. "I don't even know what I'm doing," he murmered and Angelo sat in front of him, whining softly,  his small puppy head tilting. Squall never noticed Rinoa had been hiding behind a crumbling pillar watching every moment, observing every word Squall had said.

As she stepped out, Squall could hear the sounds of her footsteps on white pavement before she began rustling through the flowers and grass. He hung his head, listlessly, not bothering to look back in her direction but he knew she was there. He could sense her presence stronger than ever. Rinoa... she's here. She came out here and found me. Just like we promised... Not wanting to admit to himself that he honestly did need Rinoa, he was more grateful than anything that she had shown up.What happened next though, he did not expect.
Rinoa dropped to her knees behind Squall and threw her arms around his neck, holding him tightly, pulling his body back against hers and laid the side of her face against the top of his head.
*****************

I actually started working on this yesterday and wanted to complete it today AFTER I finished the newest chapter. It's kind of amazing how the art goes hand in hand with one another. Anyway, here's some SquallxRinoa in all their beautiful glory! (I love this pairing so fucking much! Gah! >.<) 

Thank you in advance for any comments and/or faves! :hug:

(Okay, finally trying to catch up a bit with your work again!!)

This has been sitting in my inbox waiting for me to comment on it for too long, especially because I love it so much! It's so beautiful, and the love between the two of them is so very obvious. You feel Squall's pain, but at the same time, you also feel the hope Rinoa is trying to instil in him. It definitely does the scene in your story justice :aww:
