he's incredibly protective of you! honestly to a degree where it's just stupid– squall will throw himself into danger just at the suggestion that you might be in trouble

while squall might dislike public displays of affection, he'll make an exception for you (begrudgingly). you're allowed to cuddle, kiss and cling to him as much as you like, but squall WILL frown and complain about it
in private, squall is much softer with you and he'll even get affectionate himself! he's a big cuddler, loving to just fall asleep while having his arms wrapped around you. though kissing is something he still gets flustered about early on–
of course, squall's friends tease him about his softer side around you! they all love you dearly and think you're good for squall! but even so, they will annoy the hell out of him–
especially irvine knows how to get to squall! he'll flirt with you, just to watch squall get all jealous and angry! it's quite amusing to him, until squall draws his blade and comes at him. that's when irvine knows he better make a run for it…
squall is a pretty jealous boyfriend, but the type that just keeps his mouth shut and will pout and glare in silence. he doesn't like seeing you with other guys, but he'll begrudgingly accept them around you…
