"...." If Squall was going to tell Cloud their entire life story he needed more than just coffee for this and right now he wasn't in the mood for a drink, plus it was too early. He could see that annoyed look in those pretty blue eyes he'd come to know and knew he had to tell him something before Cloud's mood soured worse.

"We were friends. Fought side by side and all that..." He took a sip of his coffee and looked away, clearly uncomfortable with all this. 'I had a crush on you and we kissed a few times and as soon as you found out I cared about you, you ran away.' He wasn't going to tell Cloud that. Honestly he might run away for good if he did. "You vanished after a fight with your rival....haven't seen you since."
