Game, Final Fantasy 8 Pairing: Zell x Seifer Warnings: Overly
sappy not to mention a bit OOC
Chicken Wuss
"Chicken
Wuss..."
"SEIFER!"
"Hehehehe...."
"Arghhhhh!!!!"
Zell
grumbles at the tall dirty-blonde haired man in front of him,
flashing his sharp canines in the process. The aforementioned
man in front of him just raises an inquiring eyebrow before
chuckling some more. Zell could feel the hair at the back of his
neck bristle more in ire and annoyance.
"Quit pick'n on
me ya bastard! I'm 17 already!"
"Just makes it more fun...Chicken
Wuss."
Zell pouts, his lower lip jutting out as his eyebrows
furrow together in a most childlike fashion. Seifer looks at the
chicken wuss in front of him and starts laughing. Zell gets
angry, his fists in the air, challenging Seifer without saying
anything.
"No fighting in the corridors chicken...or you're
going to get kicked outta here faster than you can say my
name...."
"Why the fuck would I say your name?!? Ya
dumbass!?"
"Begging me to let you come back..." *snicker*
"Why
I oughtta!"
The taller blonde dodges with graceful agility as
the shorter blonde swipes a fist at his midsection. Seifer could
see that the chicken wuss was just getting more
irritated...Hmph, his fangs are so cute, Seifer thought to
himself before parrying another blow from the shorter
man...um.....kid..or better...chicken wuss. The taller blonde
chuckled to himself, which just made the younger SeeD candidate
more annoyed.
"GOD DAMNITT!"
"Giving up already
chicken wuss?"
"ARGGHHHH!"
Zell twirls around for a fierce
backhand before loosing his balance from the inertia it created,
which just gave the taller blonde the opportunity to hold the
young man's lean body against his bigger and broader
frame.
"Falling for me?"
"Fuck Off!"
"Really now? *evil
grin* Can't the chicken be civil for once?"
" Yer such a bastard
ya know that!?!"
"Hmph. I know." *smirk*
The smaller man
squirmed in the grip of the other, his elbow aimed at the
smirking face of the big bully. Zell sneered, his canines showing.
The big bully smirked one last time before pushing the smaller
man off him, making Zell squeek in pain as his butt landed hard
on the floor.
"Ow!"
"Chicken..."
"SEIFER! YOU WILL
DIE!"
"It'll be fun seeing you
try....Wussboy."
"ARGGGHHHHH!"
The spiky haired young man
patted his bottom as he got up but not before flashing the
taller a glare that could've melted ice. Seifer looked
unpreturbed as he stood up with his arms crossed. A scuffle of
feet behind the tall man gave the sign that his cohorts, the
other members of the disciplinary committee, had come to back up
their so called boss.
"SEIFER. MEETING. NOW."
"Yeah
yeah...."
"She's right ya know! We're going to be late ya
know!"
"Fine. Bye Chicken Wuss, don't keep falling or you're
liable to get yourself really hurt...*evil grin*."
With
that the bully turned around and huffily went away, his gray
trenchcoat fluttering in the air, leaving the young man who had
just stood up gaping behind his back. The silver haired young
woman looked wistfully at her boss before following him and
dragging Raijin along.
Zell
trotted around the training center for awhile before spotting the
usual pair of grats ambling along. The pair soon saw him and
started waddling...er....shuffling his way. He readied his
stance, placing his arms before him in the universal position of
defense at the same time curling up his fingers into a rockhard
fist. He was ready and he'd bet he could take on anything they'd
be able to give him.
The battle started roughly with the grats
giving him the usual bath of gastric juices which he learned in
chemistry earlier that day, was made of Hydrochloric Acid.
Things like that were so ever useful when fighting for your
life. Zell smirked before giving the stupid pile of vegetation a
taste of his hardrock knuckles. The Grat screamed in frustration
before melting into a pile of stinking ooze. Zell grimaced at
the odor but kept up his stance in preparation for the oncoming
assault of the other Grat before him. As he was just about to
attack the Grat was suddenly shoved aside by the hulking figure
of a T-rexaur, and at that moment, Zell just wanted to scream
his head off.
It was bad enough that his experience level was
only ten but he had only one GF which was Siren which he doubt
would hurt the tough hide of the hulking behemoth before him.
Zell controlled his breathing and tried to make a run for it but
succeded in only intriguing the huge pile of meat. Zell gulped,
his throat parched dry...This was going to be humiliating....he
thought to himself before facing up to the gigantic reptile and
surging forward to make his first move.
Zell slammed at the
Training center railings with a thud, his diaphram contracted as
the air was punched right out of his lungs. The T-rexaur
bellowed loudly and started thumping it's way to him. Zell
gulped and held his stomach, which at the moment was screaming
with pain, and succumed to his destinied fate. The blow Zell was
anticipating never came as another voice screamed in vengence.
The young SeeD candidate looked up to see the most surprising
site in front of him, Seifer Almasy who at the moement was
risking his own neck to save the teen whom he always called
Chicken Wuss. Zell couldn't breathe for a moment but as he
sought to catch his breathe Seifer was courageously defending
his life against the menacing clutches of the big
lizard.
"Fuck Dincht, help me already!" "*gasp*
I-I-I....c-co-coming...."
A swipe from the enormous claws of
the reptile sends the taller teen smashing against the smaller
form of Zell, sending the air from both their bodies whooshing
out as they impacted against the railings. The younger man
squeaked in protest as the larger body squimed on top of
him.
"FUCK THAT HURTS!"
"Shut up Dincht...before I'll
pound you to the wall again!"
"Just get the hell offa me before
that things starts to realize that we're still alive and
kick'n!"
"Hmph."
The taller form of Seifer Almasy limped
towards the awaiting T-rexaur. Zell grimaced in pain as he stood
up then promptly clutched his side. ' Damn...Broken ribs.... '
He thought to himslef before follwing the big bully of his life
towards the battle field.
"CURE!"
The swirling eddies
of the spell engulfed the muscular form of Seifer as Zell ambled
up beside the taller man. The shorter of the two narrowed his
eyes then proceeded to summon Siren, but just before he closed
his eyes for the summoning act, he thought for just one second
that the other was looking at him worriedly yet he had no time
to contemplate the meaning of such a glance as Siren surged out
from his body and began her song. Zell smiled wearily before
fainting with fatigue, the last eddies of Siren's haunting
melody still in the
air.
"Well
now...Didn't think that the Chicken would survive but I guess I
was wrong."
"Fuck off Seifer."
"Heh...Five broken ribs and a
concussion on the head...yet you're still bouncing with
hyperactivity."
"Grrrrr...SHUT UP YA BASTARD!......"
"* a
chuckle* You don't even know where you are Chicken Wuss and
you're already mouthing off. How cute..."
"*sputter*"
Zell
tried his best to sit up but a pair of strong hands pushed him
back down...not too gently but not what you'd call rough either.
The young man also noticed that a cloth had been wrapped around
his head...probably for the concussion.' Damn! ' He thought to
himslef before baring his fangs at who he hoped was
Seifer.
"No Thank Yous?"
"Grrr...."
"What do you expect
from a Chicken
Wuss."
".............mumble........."
"What?"
"I said Thank
You ya big bully!"
"Just wonder'n....Chicken Wuss....no need to
rile yourself up so much."
Then it hit Zell...What the
hell was Seifer doing with him here? The silence in the room was
deafening befoe Zell's voice broke the ice.
"Um....how long
was I out?"
"It would be safe to assume that you have been
unconscious for over five hours and it is approaching nine
o'clock in the evening."
That just made Zell more confused
than ever...Seifer's been here since he got knockt out?
Seifer?!? What the hell?!?
"Dr. Kadowaki?"
"Yes,
Almasy?"
"I'll go now..."
"Go ahead Seifer...Zell's in good
hands."
"Uh...Yeah."
The shuffling footsteps of the tall
man was heard by Zell as it passed through the automatic
electronic dorrs of the infirmary. The spiky-banged teen heaved
a sigh then clenches teeth as pain racked his
body.
"Summer's in Zell. You're planning to go home to
your mom?"
"Hai."
"Hmmmm..."
"Just how long was Seifer in
here....with me?"
"Just about the whole time.
Why?"
"Ah....noth'n.....just curious."
Doctor Kadowaki's
hands ran gently along the teen's side before heaving Zell's
body up painfully to examine the back of the young man. Zell
closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, trying his best to ignore
the stabbing pricks of pain as the Doctore poked at his
wounds.
"The stitches are coming along fine...I recommend you
stay here in the Garden at least until you're
healed."
"WHAT?!?"
Zell convulsed a bit at the pain the
interjection caused, but the Doctor's hands soon eased his sore
body back against the bed and he quieted his moans of
pain.
"B-b-but everyone's going home! I mean...Even Squall's
spending his Summer with that new girl...Rinia...or
something!"
"There's Seifer."
"*sputtering*"
"It couldn't
be that bad...after all...He's the one who stayed with you for a
little over five hours."
"But-"
"Zell...I advised you not to
engage in any strenuous activities for the duration of your
recuperation. I am burdening Seifer with the responsibility of
tending to your wounds, since I shall be leaving soon for a
family reunion."
Zell had a vision of millions of Dr.
Kadowakis from different medical practices greeting each other.
Zell could just imagine it now.
~ "Hello, Dr. Kadowaki of
Cardiology."
"Greetings, Dr. Kadowaki of Neurology. Would you
like some hors d'oeuvres?"~
Zell chuckled at the image,
and Dr. Kadowaki gazed strangely at him. He looked up and smiled
sheepishly. And then it hit him…
"You mean I'm going to be
stuck with SEIFER for the WHOLE summer???!!!"
"Why not? You
can deepen your friendship with each other."
"How come that
sentence doesn't sound right?"
Dr. Kadowaki smiled knowingly.
Zell hated it when people did that, because it seemed that
everyone knew something he didn't.
"What?!"
"Nothing,
Zell. Just thinking. Anyway, Seifer will be coming to pick you
up any minute now."
"Where is that bas- uh, I mean, Seifer,
anyway?"
"He's moving your things to his room…" "*sputter* WHY
IS HE LOOKING THROUGH MY STUFF?!"
"You're staying in his room for
a while, because he felt it would be best if you simply stayed
with him instead. After all, it would be greatly uncomfortable
for you to limp to your room which is at the other end of the
dormitory."
"But-"
"No buts. Ahhh...Here he is..."
A
soft whoosh from the electronic doors confirmed what Zell had heard
the Doctor say, Seifer had finally arrived. He couldn't help but
fidget at the thought of spending almost the whole summer with
him. In spite of everything, Seifer was still a pain in the ass.
Zell sighed in annoyance and a little bit of
frustration.
"Ahhh… Doctor Kadowaki…Zell can go to my room
now."
"That's good to hear, and Seifer…"
"Uh…Yes?"
"Take
care of him…and do learn to get along…"
"Hai…"
"Now Zell,
Seifer will take you to his dorm now and by tomorrow morning…I
will leave."
"…Hai…"
Zell winced as Seifer lifted him up,
his protesting ribs sending jabs of pain up his spine. He hissed
as the taller man's hands touched his side…He could then feel
Seifer bending down just right next to his ear.
"Shush
would you…I'm doing my best to be gentle."
Zell almost choked
and died right there at that moment. Seifer…Gentle? Zell
couldn't though…his side hurt and it wasn't worth the pain it
would cause. Seifer was surprisingly gentle as he carried Zell
across the numerous hallways of the Garden. He kept on insulting
the shorter man the whole way but did him no physical harm
whatsoever. He didn't poke him. He didn't even try as to
accidentally jolt Zell's small frame to inflict pain. Overall,
the trip had been the most unexpected event Zell had thought the
trip would be. Plainly, he thought that Seifer would torture him
all the way to his room…but he didn't.
Seifer
undressed. The Chicken Wuss had fallen asleep the moment Seifer
had laid his frail body on the bed. The tall SeeD candidate
still couldn't believe that Zell was so, how would he say
it…thin. Seifer's trench coat was now placed on the peg inside
his cabinet and he was just about to unlace his boots when a low
groan came from the bed. Seifer turned around and what met his
eyes almost sent him falling off the bed.
Zell was smiling;
he had cuddled up to Seifer's pillow and was happily
snoring…softly, mind you. The dirty blonde chuckled at the site
that looked adorable from his point of view. Seifer chuckled
some more before taking off the shirt that was usually
underneath the heavy gray trench coat. He quickly got off the
remainder off his clothing then trudged off to the cabinet to
fetch a decent towel and his boxers before heading to the
bathroom for a well-deserved bath. After all, he had fought with
the T-rexaur too and he'd been beaten up by the ugly thing,
except he was a bit more resilient with such things.
The tall
blonde opened the door to the bathroom and carefully slipped in,
hanging the white towel on his hand to the hook behind the
bathroom door. Carefully slipping inside the shower enclosure,
he turned on the shower and set the heater for moderately warm.
Seifer reached for the soap and started to scrub furiously on
his own wounds besides…infections hurt worse than the wound
itself ever did. In total, the bath was uneventful and was soon
finished.
Seifer stepped out from the bathroom, carefully drying
his hair withthe towel, he didn't expect that the Chicken Wuss
would be awake; the most humiliating part was that he was clad
only in his boxers. Therefore, he did the only thing he could've
done at the moment… Seifer, the big bully,
blushed.
Zell couldn't
believe his eyes. He had taken the moment to take the cloth off
his eyes and have a look around since he deemed it dark enough
not to hurt his eyes when the bathroom door had opened. The
sight that met him was one of the funniest things he'd ever
dreamt of seeing. Seifer was actually looking sheepish for once.
Zell laughed until his sides hurt like hell and tears were
coming out of his eyes.
"I can't believe you! Smiley
underwear!?! Hahahahahaha!!!"
"Told you to stop laughing…Your
stitches could've come off and your ribs are still broken you
know."
" * sniffle * Then stop poking me!"
"Stop being such a
chicken wuss, I'm just checking if your ribs are
alright."
"You're enjoying this aren't you?"
Surprisingly
enough, Seifer didn't say anything. Zell sighed and kept himself
silent. The young man pouted somewhat cutely at Seifer. Stubborn
as he was, Zell wouldn't let the bully enjoy one minute at all.
Even though he was being nice for once, Zell thought he'd deserve
a little payback for all those tricks Seifer had done to him
before.
" Seifer?"
"….What!?…." * Irritated*
"Um…Why
are you being so gentle?"
"…….What's it to ya?"
"Um….."
"
You be quiet and just let me do my job."
"…."
"The bandages
are dirty…I've gotta change them. Wait here…"
"Like as if I'm
going anywhere…"
"Quit being so insufferable. I'm trying to be
nice here and this is all the gratitude I'm getting?"
"You
deserve it you big meanie! You keep picking on me, why should I
be grateful huh?!?"
"…"
Zell gritted his teeth as the
bandages that were being taken off parted from the scabs that
had been slowly forming. Seifer seemed to sense his extreme
discomfort and stopped…the taller blonde then started to apply a
very nice feeling balm on top of the wound, it smelled a little
like vanilla and cinnamon. The bandages soon were off and the
new fresh linen ones were wrapped around his aching sides.
Seifer continued to apply the nice creamy balm over his other
wounds before finally going off to get some clothes. The smaller
man had fallen asleep under the soothing massage of the tall
blonde and was soon back to cuddling the pillows. Seifer smiled
and slipped into dark blue pajama bottoms. He softly tread
across the room, careful not to wake his guest, and slid into
the couch that was lining one wall of his room. It wasn't a big
couch…more like a chair really but he felt comfortable enough
and soon fell asleep.
Morning drew bright with
singing birds and bright beams of happy sunshine passing through
Seifer's windows. Warming the room to a cozy temperature that
would further induce the instinct to cuddle and stay in bed,
which was what Zell, was currently doing. Seifer had woken early
and had decided to get breakfast for his bedridden guest. The
young man who was still asleep protested not a whit to Seifer's
decision and cuddled closer to the pillows sighing in wistful
happiness.
Walking in the halls reminded Seifer just how
lonely it was in the Garden during summer. He cast his eyes
around in search for the only tenants during such times and was
rewarded with an eyeful of little kids.
"Brother
Seifer!"
"Wai! You here to play with us?"
"Brother
Seifer!"
Seifer smiled warmly at the children who have been
his sole company during these brief interludes of loneliness.
They were like him, orphaned at a young age and nowhere to go,
they had to stay here with the staff, which were not fun at all.
Obligated, Seifer decided that he would be their playmate and
made a deal with them. After all, he did have a reputation to
protect. He'd play with them only during the summer vacations
and ignored them the rest of the year except for time he
secretly spared for them. Seifer smiled and slowly sat down in a
crouching position, ready to embrace the armful of children
heading towards him.
"So…You haven't been naughty have
you?"
"No Brother Seifer. We didn't tell anybody at
all!"
"YAH!" The rest of the children chorused with happy
faces.
"Now, Brother Seifer has to get food for his patient. All
of you want to go with me?"
"Ooh! Brother Seifer is playing
Doctor!"
" Sure! We'll help brother Seifer cure his
patient!"
Seifer managed to carry two squealing happy
girls and had a horde of happy, laughing children. He smiled at
them and started singing a song. He was thankful that Zell was
bedridden, he'd be so humiliated if anybody his age saw him like
this. All the years spent on building his reputation would just
go down the drain.
"Brother Seifer?"
"Hmmm?"
" Who is
your patient?"
"His name is Zell."
"You mean that really
bouncy Senior?"
"You know him Violet?" "He gives us
candy!"
"Aaaa….Hai." *sweatdrop*
" He comes an plays wid us
all da tyme! Just like you!"
"Now
really?"
"Yup!"
Seifer pondered this and smiled. At least
the kids didn't tell Zell about their other playmate…which was
good. Seifer looked up to the other girl in his arms as she
uttered a delighted squeal and found out that he was now in the
cafeteria.
"So, what do you all want for
breakfast?"
"HOTDOGS!"
"Pancakes and bacon!"
"Bacon and
eggs!"
Seifer smiled at them and turned to the counter where
he was met with the smiling face of the cafeteria lady. She
smiled at him warmly for she knew of his trysts with the
children in Balamb and was glad that he had done
it.
"Coming right up!"
"Oh and pls. add about five more
hotdogs to that order."
"Hungry today Seifer?"
"Ah…it's for
Zell."
"You mean the man at the door?"
"What?!?"
Seifer
whirled around to face the entrance of the cafeteria and found
himself looking directly at a sweating but happy faced young
man. The tall blonde quickly placed Violet and the other girl
who was named Marie on the floor and headed straight for the
sweating teen leaning on the doorway.
"Zell! You're not
well enough to be walking by yourself!"
"So this is your secret
hobby huh? I was wander'n who the kids' secret playmate was
during the summer. Guess it was you?" The young man clutched his
sides and wheezed with pain.
"Danmmit Dincht! " Seifer cursed as
he caught the teen who was in the process of falling.
The
little kids were curious and had grown a crowd around them. Seifer
at the moment was worried at the young man in his arms who was
currently sweating and had a pinched up face that was contorted
with pain.
"Ah…*gasp* Think yer right…."
"I'll help
you back to the room…"
Seifer turned around and regarded the
children at his back and around them. They looked at him with
worried eyes and an innocent air that screamed if there was
anything they could do to help their Brother Seifer. He smiled
at them kindly and looked at the feinted young man in his arms
before turning around and issuing some requests to the
children.
" Marie could you please tell all the others to
eat their breakfasts and that I won't be with them today, or at
least until my patient is cured."
"Hai Seifer
Oniisan!"
"Thank you Marie… I'll see if I can play with you
tomorrow okay?"
"Alright! I'll see to it that Zell-san's
breakfast gets to your room too!"
" Arigato Gozaimasu,
Marie-chan!"
The little girl blushed, and bowed respectfully
before going off to command the other children. She was a child
that was born with the natural qualities of a leader. Seifer
just hoped that the chicken wuss hadn't done anything very
hazardous to his health yet. The little Japanese girl had now
herded the group of children to the tables that were built just
for them and turned to look at Seifer with a beaming smile on
her face. Seifer nodded and mouthed another thanks to her before
going off and carrying the precious bundle in his arms back to
his room.
It was really sweet how Zell would just
cuddle up into the nearest thing warm just like a cat, but
Seifer wouldn't or more like couldn't confess these thoughts in
fear of being kicked out of Garden. It is widely known to all
that the school would not tolerate such acts like homosexuality
or bisexuality in the school grounds. Actually, there wasn't any
written records about it and maybe Principal Cid would be
understanding of situations such as these but the students were
another story.
Seifer sighed and sat down next to Zell who
was currently cuddling again with the pillows. The tall blonde
looked down upon the face of the younger man and sighed yet
again. Zell's face was so full of youth, innocence and life. He
was the epitome of teen life but he still had the innocence and
naiveté of a child even though he knew so much and acquired high
grades.
The door of his dorm room rang out with the gentle knocks
of someone outside the door. Seifer roused himself gently form
the bed and headed towards the door to welcome the visitor, who
was probably Marie, in. As usual, he was right. The tiny girl
was waiting patiently behind the door with a plateful of hotdogs
in hand. Surprising enough, Violet had followed her friend and
was carrying what looked like Chicken Soup.
"Brother Seifer,
here ya go!"
"Ya! I brought Brother Zell some Chicken Soup too!
Cuz I know that chicken soup is best for sick
people!"
Seifer beamed thanks at the two children and kneeled
down to get the prized food items from their little fingers. He
also gave them a kiss on the forehead to signify his thanks and
sent them off to play with the other children. The tall SeeD
candidate then turned around and deposited the items in his
hands to the nearby tabletop, which was beside the bed. He then
went off to the bathroom to sanitize his hands before plopping
down next to the bed, chicken soup in hand, ready to feed his
ailing patient.
"YO! Chicken Wuss! Rise and
Shine!"
"*Grumble*" Zell, in response to his words turned away
and snuggled deeper in his blankets, leaving Seifer a bit
irritated. The Tall blonde then acquired a mischievous glint in
the eye and got up to head for the bathroom again. After a few
minutes, Seifer plopped down next to Zell and started sprinkling
tiny amounts of moisture on Zell's warm and sleeping
face.
"What the HELL!?!?"
"That's what you deserve for not
following my orders about staying in bed."
"But I was curious
where you went…and besides, my legs were feeling
stiff."
The young lad settled into a pout, his lower lips
pushed out in the most childlike fashion along with the pinching
of his eyebrows. Seifer sighed and shook his head. He then
placed a hand on the Chicken Wuss' forehead and confirmed his
hypothesis.
"Because of your excursion a few minutes ago,
your body has developed a low fever."
"…"
"Now…let's feed
you some breakfast…Say Ahhhh…"
"Hey now…WAITTAMINUTE! I can feed
myself you know!"
"I don't trust you to keep your hands steady
enough to hold a spoon of chicken soup without spilling."
"Oh
yeah! Just let me try and I'll show you!"
"NO."
"WHY THE
FUCK?!?"
"These happen to be my bed sheets and I do not want to
have chicken soup spilled all over them so I'm not taking any
chances. Now be good and open your mouth."
Zell
harrumphed and grudgingly opened his mouth, letting Seifer insert
the spoon laden with chicken soup into his mouth. Seifer smiled
at him and started laughing.
"That wasn't so bad was
it?"
Seifer grinned at Zell who at the moment was trying his
best not to spit out all the soup the big bully just fed him.
Snickering, Seifer brought out another spoonful of chicken soup
and went to feed his patient with much patience.
After a few
intense minutes of coaxing Zell into eating, the tall teen stood
up and had a long deserved stretch which caught the attention of
the pouting patient on the bed.
"...Yo
Seifer!?"
"What?!?"
"....You...um...have you eaten
yet?"
"....No..."
"Ummm...."
"Don't worry, I have
...h.o.t.d.o.g.s. for breakafast in a few minutes from
now."
"WHAT?!? You get hotdogs and I get chicken
soup?!?"
"No...you get health food!"
Zell bristled on the
bed and started pewing scathing words to the big bully that had
just grabbed the plateful of hotdogs behind him. Seifer munched
at the edible delicacies with much gusto as he watched his
patient bristle some more with jealousy.
"Don't
worry...I'll get you some hotdogs for lunch...Chicken
Wuss!"
"ERGHHH..."
Two
boys were walking on the usually crowded halls of Balamb Garden,
one was limping slightly and leaning on the other. The sunlit
hallways were warm and a cheery breeze was flowing just
marvelously cool along it's narrow corridors. The two boys were
at the moment having a heated conversation as they strolled
along.
" That's not what I meant! I mean…how do you cure a
zombie?" Zell asked exasperatedly, gesticulating wildly. Seifer
looked at him.
"Holy Water…How many times do I have to repeat
myself?"
"No,no,no…I mean, How do you cure a * zombie*
?"
"Dincht, this is getting stupid…You use Holy Water!"
"No…I
mean…When you're a Zombie, How do you cure yourself?"
"HOLY
WATER!"
"Argghhhhh!!!!!!!"
"This is getting nowhere Chicken
Wuss…."
"Cause you're not getting it!" "Oh, Now…" Seifer said,
raising a eyebrow. " It's me who doesn't' get it?"
"Yes!
You're not getting it!"
"It's not my fault that you can't say a
question right…"
"Arggghhhhhh , Seifer! You're such a dumbass ya
know that!"
"Well….You're such a know it all!" "Fuck
you!"
"No…FUCK YOU!"
"Argghhhh!!!!!"
"I don't even know why
I like you so-" Seifer's eyes turned wide as he stopped
himself.
" W-what did you say?"
Seifer looked away, unable
to meet those penetrating blue eyes. Zell crept closer, his
heart pounding madly in his chest.
"Seifer…"
"…"
"Aw…man!
C'mon!"
"…"
Zell furrowed his eyebrows, seeing the
discomfort of his long time bully. Reaching out tentatively, his
hand cupped the jaw of the taller SeeD and turned him around.
The piercing steel gray eyes looked like they were long filled
with pain and Zell could see that the big bully was both anxious
at his reply and dreading what he might say.
"Zell…" Seifer began
his voice doubtful. " I know…You, you…won't believe
it...But…I-I-I…love you…." Wrenching his head from Zell's hand,
he began to walk faster.
"S-se-seifer?" Zell asked, is hand
outstretched as if beckoning Seifer to come back. Realizing that
the Blonde man was still injured, Seifer stopped in his tracks
and gritted his teeth hard. "…I know that you don't feel the same
way…but…I just wish n-n-nothing would change…I-I-" Seifer
stiffened when he felt a finger press unto his lips, vivid blue
eyes then met his eyes.
"You know…" Zell wondered, his face
smiling winsomely at
Seifer. " It's not so bad…I could learn to
like you…"
"???"
"Of course, " Zell continued, unaware of the
taller SeeD's reaction " I do like you now…But when the others
