Chapter 17.

~

Zell wrinkled up his nose as he chewed on his second hotdog. �Can you guys not do that in front of me? I�m trying to eat here.�

He sat on the grass under the library window, where many students and Seeds ate their lunch, studied or sun bathed. Seifer and Selphie had got to the cafeteria so he sat out here with Irvine and Squall who complained about Seifer staring at them too much inside.

It was nice sunny day, Zell had his usual plate of hotdogs, Squall had a coffee and Irvine seemed happy enough chewing on Squall�s neck. The brunette sat between his lover�s long legs, the cowboy leaned around the brunette, resting his head on Squall�s shoulder to talk to Zell.

�Aww that sounds like the bitter complaints from someone who�s not getting any.� Irvine grinned at him.

�It�s easy for you, you are the biggest flirt in the universe, what have I got?�

�You�re cute.�

Both Zell and Irvine looked at Squall in surprise.

�Err- Thanks Squall.�

Irvine pouted. �You�re supposed to think I�m cute!�

Squall shrugged. �It was only an observation�. Like saying the grass is green.�

Irvine frowned more so. �That�s not helping me feel better! So Zell�s naturally cute and I�m not?�

�I didn�t say that, this isn�t about you.� He turned back to Zell. �Seifer thinks you�re cute too.�

�He told you?�

Squall shook his head. �I know what he�s thinking.�

�But you�re supposed to know what I�m thinking!� Irvine argued.

�I�m known Seifer longer that�s all and standing in the shadows at parties you notice things.�

�Like?� Zell said muffled around a hotdog.

�Like the way he looks at you�. When he thinks no one�s looking.�

Zell just frowned.

�He�s very fond of you.�

�Fond? You make it sound like I�m a golden receiver.�

�Okay then, I think he might love you, I don�t know for sure.�

Zell scoffed. �He doesn�t love me! That�s- That�s ridiculous, impossible!�

Irvine gave Squall a poke. �When�d you suddenly get so wise from?�

The brunette bristled. �Suddenly? I�ve always been smarter than you.� He huffed.

The cowboy turned his attention back to Zell. �And we know you find him attractive.�

�But he has� Seifer-isms.�

�Seifer-isms?� Irvine asked.

Squall seemed to understand. �He only does that to get your attention you know, maybe you should let me that he already has it.�

�You think?�

�Or he might move on.� The cowboy added.

Zell gave him a look. �What makes you say that?�

�I was just saying that-�

�What do you know?� He eyed his friend.

Irvine shifted. �Selphie set him up on a date for tonight.�

�Tonight?! But we just got here! I can�t believe Seifer would-�

�Oh he doesn�t know about it yet, she thought it would be a surprise�. I wasn�t supposed to tell anyone.�

�Well what do I do?� Zell asked.

�You�ve got plenty of time till Selphie announces this date, the sooner you get your ass over there the better.�

The little blonde got up paused than sat down again. �Wait! What do I do?�

Irvine sighed. �Zell do we have to have a talk about the birds and the bees?�

The blonde glared at him. �No! I mean how do I get into his dorm? I don�t want to say things in the corridor.�

�You�re his friend, you�ll think of something.�

�I will?�

�Time to use that thing in your head that�s no doubt covered in cobwebs from lack of use.� Irvine joked.

�Ha ha funny.� He scowled, then suddenly his face brightened. �Oh oh I have a key!� He waved it in the air.

�He gave you a key?�

�I took his bags to his room earlier �cause of his injury that� I might�. have been a teeny bit responsible for�. and I haven�t given it back yet.�

�There you go then.� He made a motion for Zell to go. �Off you go.�

�Now?�

�Yes!�

Zell got up again and took a few steps towards the door to inside then stopped and looked back with uncertainty.

�Go!� Irvine urged.

The blonde disappeared through the door.

�Even I wasn�t that bad.� Squall muttered.

�Oh I don�t know you ran away from me all the time.�

�But I made the first move.�

Irvine scoffed. �I made loads of first moves, you just ignored them all.�

Squall huffed. �Whatever.�

��

Seifer had yet to find Zell to get his door key back but alarmingly the door to his room was ajar. The tall blonde quietly pushed the door open. If Zell had left his door open and he�d been burgled he would have to kill that stupid chicken.

He looked around tentatively, but his living room looked fine. Nothing missing, no damage. He heard a sound from the bedroom and he cautiously heading in that direction, pushing the door open.

Zell looked up at him from his place standing beside Seifer�s bed with the blonde�s bag open.

�What are you doing in here?�

�Unpacking?�

Seifer watched his friend walk to his drawers and put away some boxers. �How do you know where my stuff is?�

Zell smirked. �Well I looked around a bit first.�

�You�ve looked through my drawers?�

�Hey.� He grinned. �I especially liked that one.� He pointed to the bottom drawer under the wardrobe, that contained a whole pile gay and naked men magazines.

Seifer shook his head. �Yeah yeah.�

�I noticed the one lonely dusty playboy magazine at the very bottom.�

The taller man frowned. �How good a look through my stuff did you have?�

Zell shrugged. �I was curious.�

Seifer noticed the still packed bag of Zell�s stuff, thinking it strange that he hadn�t unpacked it yet. �Did something happen?�

�Happen?�

He kicked the bag gently to get his attention.

�Oh err- my dorm had an accident.�

�An accident? You�ve only been home for a few hours, what have you managed to do wrong in that time?�

Zell huffed. �It wasn�t me! I got home to find the walls and floor all wet, Squall said the girl above me flooded her dorm�. Useless bitch didn�t even think to tell me or try and save my dorm.�

�So how come I�m stuck with you then?�

�Everyone else will make me sleep on the sofa.�

Seifer laughed. �What makes you think I won�t?�

�We shared a hotel room for a whole weekend, you know I don�t snore, don�t sleep walk, don�t-�

�No but you fidget and kick me in your sleep.�

Zell pouted. �You wouldn�t kick me out in the street-or-err- the corridor?�

Seifer raised an eyebrow. �I wouldn�t?�

�Not after I�ve done all your unpacking for you.� He stated confidently.

Go for it, Irvine had said but he didn�t have a lot of experience in going for it. He was quite pleased with himself for getting into Seifer�s dorm for the night even if he had had to fake a slight flood.

Zell had �helped� Seifer cook some eggs for a quick dinner instead of being bothered to go and get food from the cafeteria. The little blonde had never been that good a cook, as Seifer discovered.

He flipped the fried eggs like they were pancakes, dropping them on the floor and a bottle of milk smashed on the tiles.

The little blonde had offered a sheepish look as the milk seeped into the floor.

Seifer lead him out of the kitchen. �Okay, that�s the end of your cooking career.� He made him stand beyond the edge of the kitchen tiles.

�You are not to cross this line.� He marked out the line with his foot.

Zell pouted. �What if I want a drink?�

�I�ll get it for you.�

The blonde frowned. �I�m not that bad.�

�How the hell do you eat usually?�

�It�s called the cafeteria.�

�And in the holidays?�

��I go home.�

�And sponge off your poor mother?�

Zell placed his hands on his hips. �I do not sponge! I help in other ways.�

Seifer raised an eyebrow. �Such as?�

�Ummm�.. I do cleaning.�

Seifer laughed. �I didn�t think you knew what cleaning was.�

�Hey! My room�s always neat and tidy.� He glanced around Seifer�s dorm for something to criticize, annoying everything seemed to be in place. He glanced out into the living room. �Ha! I have a dining table and you don�t.�

Seifer snorted. �What the hell would I need a dining table for? I�m usually here alone, the cafeteria has plenty of tables.�

�Well my ma liked cooking for me she says so.�

Seifer started setting the food onto plates, just toast and eggs. He handed one to Zell along with a knife and folk.

The little blonde lead the way out of the kitchen and he sat on the sofa, setting the plate on the low coffee table.

Seifer sat on the other end of the couch, watching the little blonde grab the remote, turning off the news and putting on some cartoons.

The taller man raised an eyebrow.

�What? You don�t watch cartoons?�

�Only when I�m sick�. A comfort zone I think.�

�Well I like cartoons, they�re so much more interesting than real crap.�

Seifer was smirking at him again.

�What?�

�Nothing, just another immature thing I�ve learnt about you.�

�I am not immature! I like mature things!�

Seifer just shrugged.

�I do! I like your magazine collection! I-I drink� fight�. things... Oh! I�ve had sex!�

Seifer scoffed.

�I have, well �..Once.�

The taller man chuckled.

�Don�t laugh�. H-have you?�

�A few times�. And a half.�

�A half?�

He winced. �Rinoa, I mean would you really want to get into more than half with her?�

Zell sniggered. �Well you dated her not me!�

�Never again but you did date that ditz in the library.�

Zell huffed. �Linda is not a-�

�Why�d you dump her then?�

�It wasn�t working out�. She err had a thing for� people�s�. backsides.�

�Yours?� He smirked and winked. �So do I.�

Zell pressed his hands into his suddenly red cheeks in an attempt to cool them down. �No not mine, well okay mine but I don�t think a girlfriend� or whatever should go around grabbing other people�s arses do you?�

Seifer leered at him, causing Zell to lean back against the arm of the sofa. �Not when I�d have yours to sink my teeth into.� He made a biting gesture at him teasingly, his face close to Zell�s just waiting for the little blonde to panic and wriggle away.

�I-I-I brought DVDs with me�. to give us� something�to�do.� Judging by the way Seifer was looking at him, there was something else he would rather do.

�Unless�. Of course�. You can think of something else we could be doing.� He asked hopefully.

Seifer�s eyes flicked down to look at Zell�s lips then back up to his eyes, he seemed hesitant. He was probably having fishing trip flashbacks, so the little blonde ran hand up and over his friend�s neck, looping his arms around him and settling back against the sofa arm as a sign that he was comfy where he was.

This time as the taller man slowly leaned in to kiss him, Zell leaned up into it.

It was a very tentative, gentle kiss not what he had expected from Seifer.

The older man broke the brief contact and studied him for a moment. Zell smiled at him almost reassuringly, taking that as a good sign he pulled his friend close for a proper kiss.
