Kitty: My driving instructor said he was really pleased with
my lesson today! Yay! Of course, he didn't know about the missiles on the BOB,
but... anyway! Happy Valentine's Day everyone! -grins-

Eoko: Like they even know what the BOB is!� It�s my airship in the RP.� It�s the color of a clear blue sky and it�s
super cool.� It also doesn�t HAVE
missiles, so I am completely at a loss as to how Kitty started the launch
sequence of them�.� And yes, Happy
V-Day.� This chapter isn�t a happy,
sappy, touchy, piece dedicated to the day of love and happiness� but I�m sure
you�re all happy just seeing it update.

Chapter, The Tenth: In
Which Zell Explains.

--When the door slid shut behind them, he turned to
Seifer, looking earnestly up at him.

"We can't do this to him anymore."--

�What the fuck do you mean by that?!� Seifer was already
screaming.� He had been irritated and
down right pissed for a good portion of the day, and this news, quite frankly,
did not have a calming effect on him.

�Seifer, please, don�t yell.� We have to stop what we�re doing to Irvine.�

�When the fuck did you get a conscience, Dincht?� Seifer
spat at him.

Zell glared at the taller man.� �Do you even know what it�s doing to him?�

�Do I care?� he crossed his arms over his chest.

�He�s nearly failing his classes.� He�s afraid to leave his room. Seifer, he�s
nearly in tears just at the sight of us.�

Seifer shrugged.�
�So, he�s a pussy.� You never did
that poorly.�

�I only had to put up with you.� I didn�t have a little mini-you to contend
with as well.�

Seifer grinned a little at that, and his own mental image
of Zell with his hair slicked back and in much smaller Almasy attire.

�It�s not funny, you shit.�
We�re destroying his life.�

�And how do you know so much?�� He cocked a brow.� Zell was speaking pretty seriously, so he
must have had something to back it up.

Zell hesitated.� His
lie about not seeing Irvine today had been for the cowboy, not for Seifer, but
he was fairly certain, given the blonde�s mood, that he�d be upset about it
too.� �He told me.�

�He told you?�
He can�t even stand the sight of you, but he�ll explain exactly what you
make him feel?� And when did this
impossibility take place?�

The shorter blonde looked off at the floor to his left and
mumbled a soft �today.�

Seifer took a couple steps closer to him, using his old
intimidation act that really didn�t have the same effect on Zell that it used
to.� �I thought you said you
hadn�t seen him today?� he nearly hissed.

It still caused a slight shiver through him.� �I did say that, but that was for Irvine, not
you.� He doesn�t know it�s me.�

Jade eyes looked hard at Zell�s turned face.� He could respond to one of two things right
now.� He could chose to follow his
curiosity, and question how Irvine didn�t know it was Zell, or he could follow
the growing anger, and uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.� In fact, he didn�t even need a choice.

�You blew me off for Irvine, AGAIN?!�

Zell cringed at the sheer volume but refrained from
covering his ears.� �I didn�t blow you
off��

�You damn well did!�
I�ve been looking for you all fucking day!�

�Well how was I suppose to know that!?� Zell shot back,
turning to fully face Seifer.� �I went to
Ma�s last night, after-�

�After you decided to start playing hero.�

Zell closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening
them again.� �After that.� I was there until I saw Irvine, and now I�m
back.� And as soon as I was back,
I found you terrifying him again.�

�What the hell, Dincht?�
You never had a problem with it before.�

�I never knew what it was doing to him.� I always thought he felt like I had.� But he hates us.� He really hates us.� The emotion could
easily be heard in Zell�s voice, and that feeling in Seifer�s stomach was
growing along with it.

He looked away from Zell.�
�Didn�t you hate me then?� When I
did it to you?�

�Seif�� He bit his lip as he thought about it for a
second.� �I think I probably did.�� Seifer looked hurt at that, but he covered it
up quickly.� �But not that much.� I told people I hated you.� I told you I hated you.� But I think those were just words.� I never really meant them.� You�re my best friend, Seifer.� How could you be that if I hated you?�

�So, you�re blowing off your best friend ((I fucking wish
he were *giggles*)) for some flirty, doesn�t even realize the truth,
cowboy.�� Seifer walked away from Zell
and dropped heavily onto the bed.� For
once Zell wasn�t getting it first.

�Seifer�� Zell followed him, kneeling on the floor and
folding his hands over the scarred blonde�s lap.� �Why are you being like this?� Why do you care so much that I�m not always
with you?�

�Because you have been since I came back�� We�ve been practically joined at the
hip.� Most people don�t even bother
looking for just one of us anymore.� It�s
always �Have you seen Seifer and Zell?�, �Do you know where Seifer and Zell
went?��

�Hey,� Zell said softly, punching the other blonde in the
side with the same force as his voice.�
�Why does your name get to be first all the time?�

�Dunno,� Seifer said, smiling faintly.� �Maybe they subconsciously go by height.�� His smile grew into a little smirk.� �Come on, get off the floor.�� Seifer gave a little pull.

Zell got to his feet and sat next to Seifer, wrapping and
arm around his waist.�

Seifer�s arm came up around Zell�s shoulders and he dropped
his head on top of the tattooed blonde�s.�
�Zell?�

�Mhmm?�

�I don�t think I�d mind so much, if you told me you were
off doing something.� I wasted my whole
day looking for you, when I could have done something productive, like harass
some cadets.�

Zell leaned away from Seifer only to fall back against
him, his most lazy form of �punching� someone.

�Besides, then I won�t feel like you�re ditching me.�

�You�re such a baby.�

- - -

�Are you alright?� Anasha asked as she and Selphie led
Irvine back to the table they had been sitting at.

Irvine�s arms were still wrapped around himself
tightly.� He was berating himself for
begging whoever would listen to send a man he barely even knew to his rescue,
still having no clue that he had in fact rescued him.

�Are you alright??� Anasha tried again when Irvine didn�t
answer her.

�He hasn�t used his gunblade in a while�� Irvine whispered
quietly.

Selphie�s hands rubbed slow circles on his back, thinking
to herself about what had happened.�
After all the episodes that involved the two blondes and Irvine, she
couldn�t recall one where either of the two had so flatly told the other to
back off.

She came out of La La Land in time to see a worried
looking Rikan heading there way, and glared dangerously enough to make him
decided now would be a good time to leave.�
Selphie knew damn well that Irvine wouldn�t want to deal with his
almost-stalker right now.

�Why doesn�t anyone stop them??� Anasha asked no one in
particular.�

Selphie chose to answer.�
�They think someone else is gonna.�
Every thinks it should be stopped but they don�t do anything
cause �someone else will�, except everyone is thinking the same thing, so no
one does it.�

�That�s so stupid, though!�

�We didn�t do anything either, Anasha,� Selphie pointed
out, causing the redheaded girl to look down.

When the three of them got back to their table, they got
Irvine some food and a drink of cold water to calm him down.� It didn�t take him too long to recover, but
it was still worrisome.

- - -

�So, how does he not know he�s meeting you?� Seifer asked,
tilting his head to the side to look at Zell.

�Who?� the other blonde asked, turning his head the other
way.

At some point after their little make up talk the two had
laid down to rest and chat.� Being angry
and screaming at people was actually pretty tiring.

�Irvine, you stupid chicken.�

�Oh, He- hey!� Zell half rolled over and hit him.

�Took you long enough.�
Now tell me, and maybe I�ll really think about leaving Irvine alone.�

Zell pouted, making his little baby-face look down right
adorable.� �You already promised.�

�I was lying, now tell me.�

Zell huffed.� �He
thinks I�m someone else.�

�He may be in the closet, but he�s not blind.� How can he miss that hair and tattoo?� Not to mention your eyes and those mini-fangs
of yours.� Seifer pressed the pad of his thumb against one of them since Zell�s
mouth was half open as if he kept wanting to talk but wasn�t being given the
chance.

�Get your fingers outta my mouth!� Zell pushed Seifer�s
hand away.� �And I�ll show you.�� He rolled onto his stomach and swung a leg
over Seifer, then the other and hopped off his bed. �He walked over to his door and lifted his
helmet off the hook, putting it on.� He
turned to Seifer and closed the visor.

Seifer cocked a brow.�
�You wear your helmet the whole time?�
Okay, idiot, that explains why he doesn�t see it�s you.� But what about your voice?�

�I don�t talk to him,� Zell said like Seifer�s question
was stupid.

The other brow raised to join the first.� �Must be productive.�

Zell�s hands lifted to remove the helmet and put it back
on its peg before coming back over to the bed and crawling back over
Seifer.� �It�s surprising how much you
can say without words.� The first two
times I just gave him rides back to Balamb.�
Today I had a notepad and I wrote while he talked.�

�You know, other than the walking around in your helmet
the whole time that sounds like a decent plan.�
So, got anything out of him yet?�

�Verbally, not really, other than all the reasons why you are
going to lay off him.�� Seifer rolled his
eyes.� �But during that he was pretty
touchy.�

�Oh really?� How?�

�Like this,� Zell said, shifting closer to Seifer and curling
his fingers in the blonde�s shirt, pressing his face against his shoulder.

Seifer looked down at him.�
�What is with you and showing people everything rather than just saying
it?�

Zell lifted his face to look back up at Seifer. ��It�s easier to show.� Then you know just what happened, except we
were sitting and his hand was in my lap.�

�You didn�t put your hand in my lap.�

�Well that would be a rather awkward position don�t you
think?� Seifer thought he meant because they were friends, but when Zell
finished his thought, he realized exactly who he was talking to.� �I mean really.� I�d be lying on it and then I�d have to bend
it all funny and cock my wrist to the side to even get it in your lap
vicinity.�

Seifer shook his head. ��You�re such an idiot, Zell.�

�Oh, and Seifer?� It
might be a better idea to ease off the teasing.�
More like we�re getting bored with him instead of just stopping.� Like, keep up those looks and the names for a
bit.� Just ease off, ya know?�

�Yea, I know.�� He�d
make a comment about Zell sounding like Raijin, but after hearing that way of
speaking for years, he�d gotten so use to it he didn�t even notice.� �So, are you going to keep me entertained if
Irvine�s off limits?�

�Depends.� What do
you have in mind?�
