Chapter 15.

�..

Zell sat on a green padded seat in the waiting room at the Deling city hospital. It hadn�t been his fault, it wasn�t! Even if the nurses had glared and decided he was on drugs, all suspicious when he explained to them that Seifer had been attacked by a gang of trees.

You would think that being a hospital they would be used getting people beaten up by monsters and strange things like that, so a gang of trees wasn�t really that big of a thing� was it?

Zell had been in high spirits too before the accident, he had caught a huge fish, much bigger than anything Seifer caught. He had gloated for ages, waving his prize in the air for a minute or two before taking pity on the gasping creature and putting it back in the water.

Seifer said he�d deny that Zell caught anything as he had no proof, having let his fish go and no one would believe Zell over Seifer.

When the sun had started to set Seifer gathered up the equipment and headed back to the car with Zell following behind.

Zell stumbled and a brunch came down hard on the back of his head. �AH! Shit! That branch hit me on purpose.�

Seifer snorted.

�It did! I�m telling you, the trees hate me! It�s haunted! Or an ancient Indian burial ground.�

�You�ve seen too many movies.�

Silence.

�You believe me then?�

Silence.

Seifer frowned. �Zell?� He looked over his shoulder.

A vine had wrapped itself around the little blonde�s throat lifting him up onto his tip toes in an effort to stay on the floor, his face was bright red, his hands franticly clawed at the greenery that was cutting off his airways.

�Shit!� The older man dropped his bag of equipment, rushing forward to pull hard at the vines. He dug is fingernails into it to rip pieces off, being off duty they weren�t allowed to have their weapons with them.

The greenery suddenly withdrew, dropping the little blonde into Seifer�s arms. Seifer fell back hitting the ground over the extra weight. Zell sucked in a breath, choking on it, coughing between gasps too weak to move.

Seifer winced as his head hit the hard ground. �This could only happen to you couldn�t it?�

�T-T-Told y-you�. T-the tr-trees hate me.� He cleared his sore throat.

The greenery quivered around them. Zell pushed himself up on his arms.

�Only you could manage to piss off an entire forest!� Zell started to get up off Seifer.

A branch swung down through the air, Seifer pulled Zell back down on top of him quickly, feeling leaves brushed through his hair as the branch swung past.

�What did I do to them?!�

�Err- talk constantly, disturbing the peace, hit the trees with your feet?�

�That wasn�t my fault!� Zell jumped to his feet. �They tripped me!�

�Let�s go before they have another go at killing you.�

The greenery made a grab for Zell who dodged out of the way, running through the trees, he glanced over his shoulder to make sure Seifer was following him but there was no sign of the older blonde.

He stopped. �Seifer?!�

He turned round again. �AHH!�

The blonde was hanging upside down by one leg, his head about level with Zell�s. �If I die I�ll come back and haunt you!� He said before he was swung through the air and disappeared through the trees, Zell ran in that direction trying to follow the sound of the yelling.

There was light up head he hoped that meant the edge of the forest not that he was dying because he was heading towards the light.

Seifer crashed through the trees dropping to the ground with a groan, he rolled a bit then lay still, unconscious.

Zell followed, almost getting pulled but in as a vine grabbed his leg he hopped around trying to pull his leg free, falling back on his ass when the vine did finally let go.

Zell crawled across the grass to where Seifer lay.

�Seifer?� He shook him. �Seifer! Wake up!� He touched the side of his face. �You better not be dead, asshole!�

He put his head on Seifer�s chest, to hear his heartbeat. Not dead.

�You have to wake up! I�m not going to drag your stupid fat ass to hospital!� He nudged him again.

�Seifer?� He shook him hard. �SEIFER! This is your last chance to wake up Seifer!�

He stood up, irritated. �Alright fine I�ll take you to hospital but you owe me one.� He lifted up Seifer�s shoulders dragging his across the floor towards the car. �God you weigh a ton, no more food for you!�

He pulled the older man into the back seat on the car driving him to the hospital. When he got there he had dragged Seifer out of the car, his hands over Seifer�s arms so that his legs fell out of the car, maybe that�s what the nurses weren�t happy about. He had dragged him through the automatic doors and into the infirmary then dumped him on the floor to go up to the reception desk and then complained about his tired arms. It wasn�t in an uncaring way, but how else was he supposed to do it? Seifer was too long for him to pick up and put on the benches.

When he was asked what happened, he wasn�t thinking he had just come all that way with a heavy weight in his arms so he told the true and they all looked like they wanted to lock him up in the loony asylum.

He had been sitting there for an hour now when a nurse appeared and stood in front of him.

�Have you two been drinking?�

�No! I just-� He struggled to end to sentence. �We were attacked� I-I-I didn�t see who did it.�

She gave him a doubtful look, her hand touching the purple bruises on his throat. �You two have a fight?�

�No, I didn�t do that, I told you-�

�Yeah, yeah, gang of trees I remember. Well he�s awake if you want to see him.�

�Really?�

�I�ll show you the way.� She walked off and Zell followed her to a single room,

�He�s on pain killers at the moment as he broke a few ribs so he might be all pink elephants and purple penguins for a while.�

He thanked her and walked into the room.

Seifer was sitting up against loads of pillows to prop him up that way, his ribs were bandaged and he glanced up when Zell entered.

�Hey.� He said.

�Hi.� Zell dropped into the arm chair beside the bed.

�You okay?�

Zell blinked. �Me? You�re the one in the hospital. How�d you feel?�

�Good, surprisingly.�

Zell chuckled. �That�ll be the painkillers.�

�Hmm yeah.�

�Sorry you got hurt.�

�S�okay it�s not your fault �. How�d that happen again?� He blinked.

Zell frowned. �You don�t have Insomnia do you?�

Seifer returned the frown. �What?�

�You know, when you lose your memory.�

Seifer smiled. �That�s amnesia.� He chuckled, grabbed hold of Zell�s hand that kept fiddling with the blankets.

�Stop that.� He held onto the hand. �I�m just a bit fuzzy feeling that�s all, like I�m ever so slightly drunk.� He sighed.

�So no pink elephants then?�

�No.� He chuckled, watching Zell subtly try to pull his hand away.

�Do I make you uncomfortable?�

�Huh? Err- no, why?�

Seifer had had his eyes shut but he opened one to look at Zell. �With what happened earlier?� He paused. �I didn�t imagine that too did I?�

�No you didn�t, maybe I should come back later when you�ve stopped being honest.�

�No, no.� Seifer shook his head. �This is good, I�d never say this usually so listen up.�

�Seif-�

�But I wanted to kiss you.�

�What?! O-Oh earlier -err- yeah I know.� He got up, backing away from the bed. �Maybe I should go now before you say anything you might regret later.�

�And you�re beautiful you know that right?�

Zell put a hand over one ear. �You didn�t just say that, you won�t want to know that you said that later, I�ll come back when you�re sane again!�

�..

Seifer was allowed to leave the hospital later that day, it was late around midnight. The older man had had a concussion so Zell had been given the instruction not to let him go to sleep much to Seifer�s annoyance.

�Ow! Be careful!�

�I was being careful you asshole.� Zell opened the front door to their hotel room.

�You keep away from my ribs!�

�I intend to.�

�If you hadn�t pissed off that tree�.�

�I know I know, God! Will you stop bitching long enough to get inside?�

They had stopped at the movie rental shop to get films to last them through the films they weren�t allowed to sleep.

�All I wanted was to have a nice relaxing fishing day but noooo you had to put me in the hospital!�

�Will you shut up? I didn�t even want to go fishing in the first place! Besides you said it wasn�t my fault before you can�t go back on it now.�

Seifer frowned. �I never said that!�

�You did! In the hospital when I came to see you.�

�When we left?�

�No before that.�

Seifer shook his head. �I don�t remember but I must have been pretty out of it if I said it wasn�t your fault because it definitely was!�

�Okay okay I get it!� He held Seifer steady as the older man hopped on one leg, trying to get his trousers and shoes off at the same time.

He flopped onto the bed with groan, holding hid ribs, Zell pulled back the covers for him to get underneath.

�Do you want to see one of the films now?�

Seifer shook his head. �No, those have to last us till morning, go and make me a coffee.�

�You could be a little nicer about it.�

�Okay as you�re my wife, go and make me a coffee please darling.�

Zell frowned. �You�re the wife! I�m the one who carried you to hospital that makes you the wife. God! I�d hate to be really married to you!� He stomped out of the room and turned the kettle on, digging out some cups.

�Not if you were getting it on with a sex god like me!� Seifer yelled from the bedroom.

Zell stood in the doorway. �Hey! I wouldn�t want to-�

�Don�t mock it till you�re tried it Chickie.�

�I don�t want to try it!� He stomped up to the bed, trying to look intimidating.

Seifer wiggled his eyebrows. �It could be your payment for making the coffee.�

Zell pointed a finger at him. �Don�t make me hurt you.� He turned to go back into the kitchen but Seifer grabbed his arm.

�Stay and keep me company Chickie.�

�But the coffee-�

�Can wait.�

Zell sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.

�Closer.� Seifer pouted.

He moved to lie beside him.

�Closer.�

Zell frowned. �What?�

�Get your fat ass over here Chickie, I�m cold.�

�Well you shouldn�t have taken your pants off should you!� Zell responded but he didn�t pull his arm back from Seifer�s grip, being afraid of hurting him instead to lay with his head on Seifer�s chest, his front to the older man�s side.

�Are you sure you�re not contagious?�

�A concussion not contagious you idiot.�

�Gee listen to the sweet talk.� He looked down at his hip, watching Seifer�s thumb absently roll back and forth over his hipbone.

Zell looked up, seeing Seifer�s eye closed. �Hey!�

These green orbs blinked at him. �Hmm?�

�Don�t you go to sleep on me!�

�I wasn�t asleep I was dozing!� He smiled sleepily, his expression turned to a frown when Zell moved his arm and got up.

�Where are you going?�

�Coffee remember? It�ll wake you up.�

Seifer groaned. �Don�t want it now.�

�Tough.�
