Love is Blind

Summary:

As far as Rinoa is concerned, Quistis and Seifer have potential to be each other's soul mates. Unfortunately, both of them would blatantly disagree. So she does what any self-respecting match-maker would do.

She sets them up anonymously via blind text date, of course.

Notes:

Huge thank you to Nixxi for providing me the CSS code to build out the formatting for this. <3

Chapter 1: Done with Dating

Chapter Text

Sunday 11:15 AM

Rinoa
Best girls night ever! 🤗✌️
Selphie
I know!!!! Too bad the hangover is killing me this morning. I had to put on sunglasses just to open my fridge lol
Sounds like fun! Sorry I had to skip early. Kinda wishing I’d stayed now.
Rinoa
No worries Quisty! You had more important things to do 😉
Selphie
Speaking of… How was the date??!?!? Spill the tea!!
Honestly? Terrible. I really think I’m done with dating this time.
Selphie
You can’t mean that 😱😱
Rinoa
Oh no, I’m sorry the date didn’t go well. Was it really that bad…?
Unfortunately, yes. He asked me for an autograph before the appetizers even came out. Then, at the end of the night, he actually tried to kiss me AND take a selfie at the same time.
Selphie
Yikes!! Weirdo alert 🚨🚨🚨
Rinoa
Ouch. Okay, that does sound pretty horrendous.
Rinoa
Have you considered blind dating?
Tried it. Doesn’t work.
The second they see me, they all recognize Quistis Trepe, War Hero and it all goes to awkward pieces from there.
Rinoa
Well… have you considered blind texting first?
What is that?
Selphie
Yeah what is that Rinny??? Sounds fun 👀
Rinoa
It’s the same as blind dating, but you get set up anonymously over phone first! So you can text and really get to know them, before ever meeting in person. Pretty clever, right?
Selphie
Ohhhhh it’s the perfect solution for you, Quisty! The guy can really get to know you before getting all starstruck 🤩
Selphie
and vice versa
I do like the sound of that…
But I worry that’s not my only problem. I think my standards might be too high.
Selphie
Dont say that!! Never settle Q!!!! 💪
Rinoa
Selphie is right! Just tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll find Mr. Right for you 💖
Well...
I want someone who'll adore me completely, but isn’t afraid to challenge me.
A guy who’s smart and not intimidated by my intellect, but isn’t too bookish or boring either.
Someone that can understand my lifestyle and what I’ve been through, but isn’t at Garden (colleagues are a no-go).
He’s passionate and romantic, but won’t ever put me on a pedestal.
And, under absolutely NO circumstances whatsoever, can they even remotely be a Trepie. Obviously.
So… like I said, impossible. I’m looking for the impossible man.
Rinoa
…y’know, I might actually know someone who could fit that description perfectly…
Selphie
OooOoOooOOo who????
Really? I’m curious as well.
Rinoa
Well, that depends. How do you feel about my blind text idea?
Is that really necessary?
Rinoa
…let’s just go with yes.
Rinoa
Besides, didn’t we just establish how helpful that could be? For them to get to know you, and for you to find out all these things too? Without your public image getting in the way? 🙂
I suppose…
Selphie
I gotta say, this actually sounds really fun and spicy!!!! Quisty you gotta try it, could actually end up being really HOT. Blind texting = sexy 🥸🔥
Good gracious. I’m definitely not into *that* kind of texting, Selphie.
But I see both your points. I’ll…think about it.
Rinoa
Good enough for me!! I’ll get cracking 😊
Selphie
Wheeee I cannot WAIT to see where this goes 😆🤩🥳
…😅
