Fever: Interlude V

True to form, Seifer is still a bastard.

There I was, just getting to the good part of my dream,
buried to the hilt in Irvine�s sweet ass, Squall biting me on the shoulder and
suddenly I hear Seifer Almasy giving orders.

�Zell? Wake up Quis. We got big trouble in Esther!�

On the one hand, I hate doing anything Seifer tells me to,
just because. On the other hand, the dream was ruined and I was awake now
anyway and did he say something about Esther? And Quis? Like in Quistis
Trepe??

I carefully sat up and looked around. I was in some fancy
bedroom that should have been in Laguna�s palace: giant bed, slinky sheets,
furs, naked blond chick�

Cool, I was still dreaming. Maybe I could get Squall and
Irvine back.

�Zell!� Seifer shook me awake and barely saved his nose when
my reflexes kicked in. I bounced out of bed, ready and way more than
willing to boot Seifer right through the goal posts of life.

�Get up,� he said from a safer distance, �We have to get to
Esther now.�

What the fuck? I
tried kick starting my brain and took a good look around. Yep, what the fuck
summed it up nicely. I mean, I�ve had some weird stuff happen my life, things I
never expected, like Matron killing the President of Galbadia in front of Hyne
and everyone, and stuff I never even considered could happen, like
Squall getting Irvine pregnant. I swear to you, never in my wildest dreams did
I ever think I�d wake up buttass nekked in bed with a woman. And for
that bed to belong to Seifer Almasy? And that woman to be Quistis Trepe? Yowza,
it will be raining treefrogs and gumdrops in Esther next.

And if you think I was surprised, you should have
gotten a load of Quistis� reaction.

She screamed.

�Whatareuyoudoingheregetoutgetout!� In a neat move I think
only women can do Quistis sat up, tucked the sheet under her armpits to hide
her boobs, and threw some sort knick knack, yelling the whole time. The whole
operation took less than half a heartbeat.

Naturally, she threw it at me. Like I had any
thing to do with it. Just because I was the one who was naked. Well I�m not an
A level SeeD for nothing, Baby. There were two doors, I picked the one Seifer
wasn�t backed up against and ran for it.

Safe in the bathroom I was torn between a hot shower and
hovering by the door to listen to Quis rip Seifer a new one. A crash crunch
right by the crack forced me to shut the door for self-preservation. That cut
out a lot of the noise, although I could still make out the occasional whump of
bric-a-brac meeting its end and the rumble of voices. Once Quis got shrill
enough she must have hit a range only animals can hear, cuz the cat snoozing on
the rim of the tub started quivering all over.

Either that or it was laughing, and for a sec I really
regretted not knowing what was going on in the bedroom. But I had other stuff
on my mind; things were coming back to me and while most of them were not very
pretty, I had to admit in my heart of hearts that Seifer sort of rescued me.

And then he fucked me bowlegged. For the record, Seifer is
not only a bastard but also a pain in the butt. Ow. I hated to think was Squall
was going to say about that.

I got into the shower and wondered if I could trust Seifer
not to mention the whole us having sex thing like, ever again. I was pretty
sure I could talk Quistis into pretending it never happened. I hit myself in
the head. Seifer not tell he�d been up my back porch? He�d probably already
alerted the media.

Sad thing is� it felt pretty good. Not that it wasn�t good
with Squall, but we didn�t have sex much, really. He was all distracted with
Rin and the pregnancy and the Garden and SeeD and being sick as a dog and well,
I spent a lot of time with Irvine�s sweet ass bouncing under me. But Seifer
was, in addition to being a miserable sarcastic hateful prick�
surprisingly gentle in bed. Caring. Protective. Strong. Hot.

Hyne!

I switched the water to cold and started scrubbing.

Seifer Almasy dipped his left shoulder a bit and turned his
head, closing his eyes to protect them from the flying shrapnel of what had
once been a decorative coin dish. �Oh, C�mon, Quis, you aren�t really pissed or
you�d be throwing spells instead of curios.�

He barely made it behind the heavy wooden wardrobe in time
to dodge the Thunder she threw next. Me and my big mouth, Seifer
thought.

Quistis was wearing only the silky sheet off Seifer�s bed,
and it didn�t seem to want to come all the way untucked. She was further
hampered by the fact that the heavy fur coverlet did come with, and it was
dragging behind her like a huge flat dog. Her hair was down, and tangled, and
Seifer thought Quis looked very desirable, if it weren�t for that trying to
kill him bit. Too bad the trailing linens didn�t affect her aim.

Aloud, he continued, �You didn�t have any complaints last
night when you had your legs around me!�

Quistis gasped and threw a heavy book at Seifer�s head. �I
had to be drugged to want to come anywhere near you!�

�Baby, you came all over me.� Seifer smirked. �The drugs are
what made you climb Zell�s tree.�

�You are an unbelievable bastard!�

�It�s my best feature.� Seifer approached cautiously, like
trying to calm a wild animal.

�Yes, because everything else about you is unimaginably
worse.� She took a deep breath and hoisted the damnable heavy sheet back up to
her collarbone.

�Hey, I�m consistent, isn�t that a virtue?� He left the
safety of the wardrobe area and eased a little closer, still positioned so he
could dodge behind the bedpost.

�Nothing about you is virtuous.�

Seifer grinned. �I�ll accept that.� He moved closer, hands
spread in a conciliatory gesture. �Would it help if I told you, you are
incredible in the sack?�

As soon as he was in range, Quistis kicked Seifer in the
balls.

Seifer folded up. The room was silent a moment, save for the
panting of the human occupants. Quistis irritably hauled the slinky sheet the
rest of the way off the bed, dumping myriad throw pillows. She fastened it like
a sarong and put her hands on her hips to glare at Seifer.

�Hyne on a half shell, Woman,� he wheezed, �What do want
from me, flowers? A ring?�

�Nothing of which you are capable!�

�Try me.� He stood carefully.

Quistis made a disgusted noise. �I don�t expect you to
behave like a decent person.�

�Why the fuck not? I rescued Zell, didn�t I? I screwed you
when you were all over me, didn�t I?�

�Using a drugged woman is not a decent thing to do!�

�I was drugged too! Why am I the one who�s supposed to have
all the self control? Where is that written?�

�Don�t pretend you did me a favor.� Quistis looked away,
wondering if it truly was possible to die of embarrassment. This completely
eclipsed that humiliating scene where she poured her heart out to Squall and he
blew her off. Hyne! Mortification became anger and she snatched another book
off the shelf and lobbed it at Seifer. �I can�t believe I gave you my
virginity!�

Seifer ducked but wasn�t fast enough and the book bounced
off his chest. �Hey! I was right a second ago, how is it I�m wrong again?�

�Because you are always wrong!�

�This is a woman thing, isn�t it?�

Quistis threw a bookend.

�Ow, fuck.� Seifer rubbed the impact spot on his arm.
Another bruise for his collection. Time to change tactics. �Quis! Sticky, for
the love of Hyne, quit wrecking my room and listen a minute, will you?�

�Why should I?�

�Because, dammit, if you never want to see me again, that�s
doable, but, Quis, it doesn�t have to be that way. You can could with, leave
Garden, see the stars��

�That�s ridiculous.�

�What? You think I got this ship out of a box of cereal?
We�re talking real aliens, here, Sticky, other worlds. It�s� worth seeing.� He
smiled at her, that old lazy tiger smile, and she felt that old shiver of
excitement. �Here I am, Quis, offering you� whatever I got.�

�You� you really do work for aliens? How do I know I can
trust you?�

Seifer�s smile faded abruptly. �That�s why it�s called trust,
Sticky. Faith, you know, you have to go with it or not, there�s no proof.�
His eyes narrowed. �It doesn�t really matter what we want, anyway. You can�t
stay here. You are contagious, all of you guys who caught the fever. You have
to be quarantined for at least six months.�

Quistis sat down abruptly on some over stuffed ottoman
thing. �What?�

�Contagious. That�s how they take over planets, they infect
everyone with the fever.�

�And you brought it here?�

�I didn�t!� Seifer scrubbed his hand over his face.
�Exactly. Fuck. No good deed goes unpunished. I didn�t realize when Irvine was
accidentally infected that he could spread the disease so easily.�

�You saved Irvine.�

He shifted uncomfortably. �We were here trying to track a
prototype weapon pirates stole from the Theocracy. Fuujin�s ges found Irvine,
he�d been attacked and he was dying. Took him back to the mother ship, patched
him up, ran some tests to give us more information about the weapon, sent him
back. Figured a few missing hours from his life, but he still had one, at
least, and we�d get some idea what those whack jobs at the Theocracy were
cooking up, everyone lives more or less happily ever after. But Irvine caught
the Fever and went straight into heat and I guess he�s sharing big time.
Generous guy.�

�I�m supposed to believe you what? Forgot the Fever
was contagious? Don�t you have protocols or something? Vaccines?�

�No one gives it a second thought because they all have it
already! If there were a disease that turned you into a human being, it would
never be an issue; no one needs to cure that� until you run into some Moombas.
And hells, they�re better off as humans, so who cares? Except the Moombas.�

�You said that�s how they invaded.� Quistis found her
glasses and twisted her hair up into a bun.

�My understanding is that was how it was used, yes, although
I think originally it was to adapt immigrants to the planet, so they wouldn�t
have any trouble with the food and stuff. But yeah, the Green Fever can and
will spread through out the planet, and while everyone is weak and helpless,
the pirates will certainly attack.�

�We need to get this contained immediately, then, and to
brief Squall and the various heads of state.� Quistis helped herself to one of
Seifer�s shirts from the wardrobe. �You find Zell, I need to get a status on Xu
and have her moved to more secure place.�

Seifer shook his head. �What we need to do is hie our asses
to Esther. The Theocracy has already made contact and they will take one look
at Loire�s pretty� face� and invade.�

�SeeD isn�t set up for an interplanetary war! Esther is the
only country that is space capable. How are we going to stop them?�

�See if we can get Loire to throw in with my boss. We�re
this planet�s best hope against the Theos and the Pirates.�

Quistis found her belt and cinched around her waist to hold
the oversized shirt in place. She rolled up her sleeves. �Yes, � she said
thoughtfully, �I think we are.�
