It Couldn't Be True

Unwanted

"I don't understand this at all. I don't!"
Cid was at his desk and stared at three files all side by side. The files
belonged to Seifer Almasy, Rui Tekou, and Lee Dagen. He was not a stupid man
and did understand and see that Rui and Lee were hanging out with some other
students that were troublesome in the past, but how could Seifer tie into their lives
to cause such a problem?
Glancing at each student's file, Cid was there for most of the write-ups and
such that were in the blond, nineteen year old's file but he knew nothing of Lee
Dagen.
Opening Dagen's file again, Cid got a feeling that there was something of
error in his folder. Not that the people putting it together were at fault but as in
the actions and winnings were deceptive. The reason was, Lee Dagen's file was
too perfect. There were no delinquent acts reported, he won many awards... As
Cid read closer, he found that he won on default because the other contestant did
not show up for the final judgement. There were other instances that set him as
being the winner by default but many were just him as the outright winner. Why
would those student's not show up? He did not understand that and never had he
had a contest in his school to where a contestant did not arrive.
Moving onto Rui, this student came into the school around the end of the
war. Because Seifer was not much himself, keeping inside his quarters most of the
time, Rui and two other transfer students were the beginning of trouble. He
transferred from a nice town and attended a well-off school. What would he have
against Seifer?
"Woops, I meant, what would Seifer have against Rui?" Cid mumbled.
"What is the connection for all of them?"
"You need to take a rest, dear." Hands came down softly on Cid's slumped
shoulders and began to knead the tension out. The headmaster turned around,
causing his wife to stop and just stared at her beautiful face. She was wearing a
simple dark blue dress and wore her long, black hair down.
"There's no time for that right now. I need to finish this up and find out
what exactly is going on in my school. I will not have one of my students taken
out on here say." With that said, Cid continued looking over the files on his desk
while his wife placed her fingers back onto his shoulders.
"Sweetheart, didn't you say that you had to call in Seifer right now? Why
haven't you done so yet?" Cid paused and turned around again to face his wife.
"The board members had a meeting to attend to and this is but another small
student problem compared to the other matters they must deal with. I am taking
this time to figure out what's going on... and hopefully I have enough time to
figure out this mess. I have until latest, tomorrow afternoon before they call upon
this problem. Also, they will be attending the festival tomorrow so I believe that
this matter will be delayed yet again. So I will do everything I can to see to this
matter. I may have to call in some of the students to speak with them."
Cid sighed and leaned forward to rest his head lightly on his wife's stomach.
Her fingers glided through his hair softly as she told him it was going to be okay
and that he will find out what's going on.
'It must be soon, before it's too late.'

"Mmmmmmm, now this is what I'm talkin' about!"
The love for hotdogs will never leave his heart. Zell drooled over his food
before he reached his table to dig into the most delicious sight ever! A goofy
smile was plastered on his face and he glanced around for an unoccupied seat but
instead, he found a blonde taking care of five rowdy kids.
"Quisty!!"
The strawberry blonde snapped her head up to the call and smiled before a
child screamed and a splash was heard. Her attention didn't last long on her friend
as she was cleaning the new spill.
Zell walked over to the table and sat down next to the instructor, currently
enrolled to a daycare class.
"Goodness! Don't I do enough work around here? Why must they give me
more!? I don't have time to care for these children! I have papers to grade, Zell!"
Quistis whined and whipped the excess food away from one child's chin.
"Seems like you're doin' a mighty fine job! Although, it does suck we can't
see you now. You're never free." Zell took a hold of his hotdog and bite into it
blissfully.
"Well as you can see, Zell, my free time has been taken up by the new
daycare class. It's not like we need a daycare with all these children currently
enrolled to this school already! I'm tired and they need to hurry up and find
someone suitable to take over so I can get back to my regular work."
Zell couldn't help but laugh and broke out into hysterics when Quistis
scowled at him as another spill was heard from across the table.
"Come on, Quisty. I'm sure it's not that bad." He said as he watched the tall
blonde walk to the other side of the table with a wad of paper towels in one hand
and crouched down to wipe the spill. Zell was on to his second dog by then.
"Oh and I would love to see you hang around these children. You taking
care of them would be the moment I would die laughing."
"Ha! Cause I will never put myself in a position to take care of these kids,
or any for that matter!"
"Hotdogs! Gimme! Gimme!"
"I want!"
"Me!"
"Pwease!"
Zell's head whipped around to the annoying sounds of the high-pitched
voices, screaming that they wanted his hotdogs.
"No! Never! These are mine! You have your own food scattered around
the table!" But his plea was not heard to the youngsters as they surround the blond
and reached for the yummy hotdogs on his plate. He tried to salvage them, bring
the dogs to safety as he grabbed the plate and raised it in the air but they were on
him in no time and the plate tipped over to the floor.
"Awwww, no more hotdogs. Oh well!" The kids went back to playing with
their food and each other while Zell was on his knees staring at his precious
hotdogs wasted on the floor.
"You evil...evil, dumb brats! Look what you-"
"Now, now Zell. No need to get angry. Just go get some more." Quistis
said as she snickered at her friend on the floor.
"But I got the last ones!!!" It was then the instructor began laughing as Zell
wept over his fallen dogs.

~~*~~

I walked into my dorm and the first thing I did was take the card that the
three kids gave to Seifer and put it into the blond's duffle bag. It was for, of
course, Seifer but I don't think that he's up to reading the card yet. The man was
probably still asleep. I glanced over to my bedroom door and stared at it for a
moment to see if it was at all opened while I was gone but there was no way for
me to tell that it was or not. I walked over and cracked open the bedroom door. I
noticed that Seifer was still in his bed, wrapped up in all the blankets. The only
piece that I could see of him was the nest of blond hair against the black sheets.
Why couldn't things be much easier? I'm just... I'm so frustrated with
everything that I just feel like leaving. Wait...what am I still doing here? I could
be living in Esther or something... I shook my head as I closed the door and
headed toward the kitchen. I like it here. My family is here. And I don't really
mind the work, even though I bitch and moan about the little things, I still really
don't mind them.
I went to the refrigerator and retrieved the gallon of water I had in there so I
could give myself a cold glass of water. After I gathered what I wanted from the
kitchen, I sat down in the living room and searched for the remote for the
television and once I found it... shoved behind a pillow, I turned the t.v. on and
surfed through the channels.
After some time of resting, my stomach began rumbling, begging me to eat
some food.
"I wish Seifer would do it, he's a better cook than I am." I grumbled as I
stood to head into the kitchen again. There was food but I had to decide what to
make...what to make...
There was a knock at the door and I turned to stare at it. I wonder if that
was Cid since the older man told me that he'd be calling me up to his office to
speak of Seifer .
I opened the door to stare into grinning brown eyes. I was staring at Dagen
and I wanted to slam the door in his face. There was just too many things going
on that revolved around him to make me feel at all comfortable with him. Seifer
was afraid of him and- Dagen began to speak, cutting me off from my thoughts.
"Something wrong, Squall?" Dagen pushed forward into my personal space
and I took a step back immediately. I never took my eyes off of him, treating him
like my enemy... but was he really? I watched him and his features frown at my
reactions to him
"What are you doing here?"
Dagen shifted his footing slightly and smiled at me with such jubilation. I
saw him about to speak and suddenly did not want to hear his voice again.
Although that was impossible, I intercepted anyway. Anything to get him away
for right now.
"Listen. I am fine. I took my medicine and you can go on and continue in
your own business."
I watched him intently and he only smiled to me. I didn't understand what
his problem was. Why was he so happy to be here?
"My time was going to be spent with you." He rudely and arrogantly walked
passed me and stepped into my kitchen, placing the bag that he was holding down
on the table. He pulled out food, and I didn't know exactly what it was yet, but I
didn't have any desire to find out what it was. I glanced in the direction of my
bedroom because I knew that Griever was inside its case beneath my bed. I just
wish that it was on my hip right now...
"I took the liberty of asking your cowboy friend and his spunky girlfriend
what you might care to eat." He smiled when he looked up at me as I stood near
the door, unmoving...then he frowned. "Oh come here, Squall. You're not going
to eat over there are you?"
I wanted to say yes, as far away from you as I can but I noticed him setting
things up and remembered when he was here with Cid. He was trying to prove
that Seifer was here so he could get him in trouble.
I spotted his dark-brown eyes snap to the green duffle bag and then to the
shoes by the doorway. It only took him a second to look until his eyes were back
to the task at hand.
"Dagen, why do you want to take care of me?" It was creepy how he just
smiled nicely and just started at me for a moment. I thought he wasn't going to
answer but he finally did.
"Because I like you, Squall and had always admired your courageous deeds
and skills. Who wouldn't like you? It's also my job to take care of my students."
I narrowed my eyes.
"Yeah? Shouldn't you be taking care of Seifer since he's also your
'student?'
"Seifer did something wrong to one of my friends." He said lowly.
"Shouldn't that be the other way around?" I snapped, referring to the raping.
If he knew something about it, there should be some kind of acknowledgment or
body language that he lets on... His eyes narrowed at mine and a spark of anger
and impatience reflected off of his features.
"Squall. So far from what is being said, the accusation is on Almasy
because he has not said or done anything in protest-"
"So that automatically makes him guilty?" I didn't understand this man's
logic and he was pissing me off. I watched him as he fisted his hand at his side. I
was getting under his skin too.
"You know of his history and everyone else does too. Why would it be out
of character not to judge him on something like this when it has happened in the
past, no less, it happened to you? Almasy has done this before why can't you see
that he's guilty?"
"Did you not see what happened to him?" I couldn't help it. He wasn't
seeing anyone's side but Rui's. I could say that it was Rui! All his fault but I
know better! It wasn't just him, it was several people because Seifer is a hard
bastard to beat and not someone like Rui could bring him down to the state that he
was in yesterday.
Dagen stood there frozen and I knew at that moment that there was
something up with him. He was involved.
"What did he tell you?"
I noticed that his voice changed. I know he's not stupid... He could be
thinking that he could ask me what was wrong with Seifer when in all reality, he's
just making it look like he cares and needs to know.
"Whatever was said is none of your business, Dagen. I don't want you here
and I am asking you politely to leave." I said harshly. I didn't hide the glare that
came so easily to me or coldness of my voice. I meant every word of it. Someone
raped Seifer and there was more than one person. I don't even know if there were
multiple rape partners... Dear god, I hope not but there was no way for me to tell.
Seifer is so closed up right now and the only thing that I know is that there were
several people who beat him up and one person could be the man standing before
me. Could that be ridiculous? Fuck it! I'm not sorting this shit out now. I can't
stand the sight of Dagen or anyone else now.
"Listen, Squall. I think we need to talk . Obviously you're thinking about
something of me and you're not telling me what heinous act you figure I
committed." His eyes narrowed and he took a step towards me, placing him at the
start of the living room. "What part in all this do you think I play? I found out the
same day you did of what happened to Seifer. I was upset when I saw Rui but
Seifer never emerged from the Training Center. He never even reported to the
infirmary and all that told me was that whatever happened to him wasn't as sever
compared to Rui."
He stared at me, his eyes boring into mine and before I knew it, he was
standing in front of me. Could I be wrong that Dagen is apart of all this? As I
stared at him, I wanted to believe that he was telling the truth. The points he
brought up . . . No. Seifer is deathly afraid of him and Zell said that they were
talking about sabotaging his dorm. I believe them more than I will ever believe
him.
Before I was going to tell him to leave again, the phone rang. I didn't move
but Dagen turned his head in the direction of the sound. I glared at him, burning
holes at the side of his face. His eyes found mine again and his demeanor
changed. His eyes seemed softer as he asked if I was going to answer the phone. I
wanted to finish my argument with him and have him out of my sight. I was
developing a huge headache and I finally stalked over to the phone and answered.
"What!?" I barked harshly.
"Squall? I s everything all right?" It was Cid and I forced myself to cool
down.
"Sorry."
"Well I wanted to speak to you regarding Seifer later on this evening. Will
that be okay for you?"
I nodded but realized that he couldn't see my response.
"Yes, that would be fine. What time."
"Seven o'clock would be good. I apologize for interrupting your dinner."
I blinked several times.
"What? How did you-"
"Dagen told me that he was going to check up on you and I said that you
probably haven't eaten so if it wouldn't be a bother to him, I said to ask your
friends what your preferred choice in dinner would be. Is he still cooking?"
I lifted my head to where Dagen was last and did not find him there any
longer. I scanned quickly, not liking that he moved away without me realizing and
I found him in the kitchen starting dinner.
"He's starting."
"Oh, good good. I'm glad I called just at the right time. Enjoy your dinner
and I will see you later on."
"Right..."
And the phone clicked off. I was extremely pissed and I thought my head
was going to crack open. I glared at the man in my kitchen and he chose that
moment to chance a glance at me. I needed to make sure that Seifer stayed in the
room. I walked over to the bedroom and the let myself in. It was dark inside but
the light from the living room showed me the outline of my bedroom and it
appeared that no one was on the bed. I was instantly alert. I shut and locked the
door behind me and heard a small whimper.
"Seifer?" I called softly.
I stepped away from the door and to my bedside where there was a small
night lamp. I turned it on and didn't spot him anywhere.
"Seifer!" I hissed harshly. I did not want to play hide n' seek.
"Squall?"
My eyes darted over to the dark bathroom where the blond emerged from. I
walked up to him, seeing the dark circles under his eyes and the worry in his face.
I automatically softened at seeing my friend like this.
"I'm sorry." I said immediately. I shouldn't have held that angry tone with
him.
"I heard Dagen." His green eyes darted over to the door and snapped back to
my own to see me confirm his statement with a nod.
"Yes," I voiced. "He's here."
I watched him take a step back from me and somehow I felt like I betrayed
him. "He's going to leave after he finishes cooking."
"I have to go." He almost rushed passed me but I grabbed his arm and kept
myself in front of him.
"Wait. He will be gone. I'm trying to get him to leave. And if you leave,
you're going to have to face him. Do you want that?"
Seifer stared down at me, his face changing with every emotion that he felt.
"I almost walked in on you and him."
"Listen, he will be gone so just stay here please. Just rest." I said as I was
now just resting my hand on his arm, rubbing his bicep with my thumb. Seifer
was wearing a blue, long-sleeved shirt with a pair of dark-grey, baggy sweat pants.
"He needs to leave. I don't want that fucker near me." Seifer said as he
glared at the doorway.
I nodded and put my hand on Seifer's shoulder. Everything came back to
me, the image of him when I found him, last night when I found his boxers. The
emotion turmoil was so strong to me that I couldn't muster the feelings that Seifer
could have only endured. All I could hope was that my strength would be enough
for him. That I could stand in his place while he recovered from all the wounds
that have made him wither away and shrink into a small corner.
"Seifer, I'm so sorry."
I could see that Seifer was never one to receive pity from someone but this
wasn't pity and I pulled him into a hug, wrapping my arms around his shoulders
and resting my head against the side of his own. I left one hand to rest on the back
of his neck while the other held the back of his head gently. I had my body
touching his softly and I felt him tense. It was something he never saw coming
and after a moment, I thought he was going to pull away but I was wrong. I felt
hands softly touch my sides and then they slid around to my back where he was
finally hugging me and burying his face against my neck and my hair. It felt good
to me and I just hope that he knows that I will be by his side no matter what.
Maybe I should tell him too...
"I'm not going to leave you, Seifer. I am your friend and I will take care of
you for as long as I'm capable of. I will do anything for you." I closed my eyes
and was just enveloped by him. I felt so warm... so comfortable. My job has been
decided and that is what I will do. I am to protect him... the one I love.
I pulled away slightly just so I could look at Seifer but he seemed to have
attached himself to me. I heard him take a deep breath behind my ear and finally
pulled his head back. I brought my hand from the back of his neck, over his ear to
rest on the side of his face. Those green eyes were so bright, so open that it
surprised me and I couldn't bare to look away.
"Squall..." My name was barely audible from his lips but I heard him and
his breathy sigh.
"Seifer, I won't let Dagen or anyone else hurt you."
His eyes quested for my own, asking me if I was able to do that, if I would
do that for him. The answer: yes, I will and I know that my heart cannot refuse
him.
My heart skipped a beat as his face neared my own but turned suddenly to
where my lips and nose brushed his cheek and his face just rested against my own.
His arms were firm around me and I returned that feeling, letting him know that I
won't let him down. We stood cheek to cheek and arms around each other for a
while and I was drowning in him. Again, my mind continued to think of how
someone could do something so horrible to him. Seifer was strong and that is one
of the things I admire about him.
There was a clatter in the kitchen and Seifer froze up and so did I. We both
completely forgot about the man in the kitchen.
"Listen," I said as I pulled away from him slightly, keeping my arms on his
shoulders and not leaving that warmth so quickly. "Just stay in here. Watch tv
and he will be gone soon."
I watched as he nodded and his eyes darted to the ground. He withdrew
from me completely and I felt like I had let him down because I'm leaving his side
to go to the other man. But I didn't feel the same when I was with Seifer. I didn't
question anything from the tall blond but with Dagen, I felt strange and
uncomfortable around him. He was just someone I don't want to be close too yet
the man is convinced that I am his friend. I watched as Seifer slid into my bed,
lifting the covers and snuggling into the black pillow. I already missed the
closeness.
I snapped myself from my thoughts and had to get back in gear. There was
a man in my home that I did not want there. I made it to the door and before I
opened it, Seifer spoke.
"Get rid of him as fast as you can." I couldn't help but nod seriously. I was
going to get rid of him for his sake as well as my own.
"I will."
I walked out and closed the door behind me. I sized that man up to Seifer
and knew that the blond could beat him into tomorrow before he would ever land a
hit on Seifer. But being that he was weak and wounded, made Dagen appear to be
dark and relentless.
"Squall! The food is almost ready."
I winced at his voice. I was still moved by Seifer's soft tone... or maybe I
was moved because he was Seifer.
I walked over to the phone and wanted to call Cid to get this man out of
here. I suddenly felt a cold prickle run down my neck and turned around to see
Dagen but a few feet from me. I took a step back and he held his hand out with a
glass of water.
"Here. I just thought that you may want something to drink before you eat.
The food is ready to be served in a few moments." He smiled to me and I took the
glass from him before he could leer at me again. I watched as he left into the
kitchen and moved about, placing the plates on the table top and all. I will just let
him eat then he will leave.
Once he was done, Dagen glanced up to see me standing by my recliner and
he motioned me over to join him.
I looked down to the food on my plate and wanted to push it away. I wasn't
hungry and why was it so difficult to get this man out of my house?
"Please," He said with a sickeningly sweet smile. "Tell me what you
think?"
Eat the meal and the faster he'll be out. I took a bit and chewed that piece
of meat until it was nothing and that is how I proceeded to eat. It was slow but I
don't care. The table was silent except for the clanking of the fork against the
plate or the glass being placed down on the table. There was a lot of eye contact
but I made sure that he could see my glare. There was no way in hell that he could
be thinking that I was enjoying his company. My glare conveyed my displeasure
on the fact that he was physically at my table, inside my house where I did not
want him to be. He noticed that I wasn't eating much.
"Hey, does the food taste all right?" He was trying to sound like my best
friend and I just kept wishing that it was a cocky blond sitting before me instead.
"Dagen, I'm not that hungry and I ate already." Whose to know that I was
lying? "I'm done and I you are to." I couldn't take him being here anymore, my
thoughts kept nagging me that he shouldn't be here. "I would like to get some rest
in before I have to go up to see Cid."
"That's a good idea. Why don't you-"
"No, you need to leave now. Forget the dishes, take what you want and
leave now. Please." I had to raise my voice at him and I don't think my "please"
made up for it but it was an effort in vain.
"..." He just stared at me.
"Dagen, I am not fucking around! I don't want you here. Get out before I
report you!" I stood up and my chair slid back noisily, almost tipping over. I
walked over to my door and stood by it until he finally relented and stood. He
came over to me and before I could open the door, he took a hold of my hand and
caressed the back of it with his own, and then he was raising it. I saw my hand
heading for his mouth and ripped my hand away from his grip.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" My headache came pounding
into my vision and I tried to blink it away.
"Squall?"
Is it... is it happening again? I felt weird. Drowsy and sick. What the hell?
I looked up at Dagen and finally growled out to him, my lips curled back
into a snarl and my eyes glared at him in a seething rage.
"Get out!" I opened the door and pushed him out so fast that he stumbled
into the hallway and the door was shut before he could turn around. I took in
several deep breaths and stumbled to the bedroom but fell to my knees half way. I
was getting worried. My meds. Maybe I should take them. But I couldn't move.
My body felt hot and my head was hurting so bad.
"Seif..er" I choked out before I completely collapsed to the ground. I
vaguely heard a door open and I knew it was Seifer because I felt him roll me on
my back and when I opened my eyes, I saw his worried green ones looking me
over. His voice was muffled though. I couldn't hear him. I think I just need some
rest.
I blacked out for a moment...well I really don't know how long it was but I
felt cool water around me. It felt nice. I noticed that there was weight on my
shoulder and I could feel a hand slid down slowly to my chest and then back up to
my neck. It was slow and the cool water slid down my skin from my neck. That
hand lifted away from me and I felt a pressure on my forehead.
"Squall..."
It was Seifer. I opened my eyes and there he was staring at me with those
emerald eyes. I looked away from him to note that I was in my shower and I
suddenly glanced down. He removed all my clothes but my boxers. Cid was
going to have to wait. I don't even think that I can get up from this tub by myself.
"Seifer." His name sounded so weak from my voice. "Seifer." I said more
clearly. "How long have I..."
"Almost a half-hour. You were burning up so I had to put you in cool
water. That was the only thing that I could think of besides calling for help." He
looked down and away from me. "But if it was longer than thirty minutes, I would
have called someone." He turned back to me. "How are you feeling?"
I couldn't really tell, resting up against the tub in a relaxed fashion. I tried
to sit up and felt weak and too tired to move.
"I think it would be a good idea that I went to bed." I saw the blond nod and
stand up. He left the room for a moment before coming back in with a plain white
shirt and sweat pants.
"Here's a towel." Seifer set it down on top of the toilet lid and was about to
leave when I called for him.
"I don't think I can steady myself. I almost feel like when I first came from
the infirmary..." That was enough to say for him to come back and reached into the
water to grasp my side and arm and hefted me up. I braced myself and his strength
helped me out a lot.
My water-soaked boxers slid very low on my hips to where I was afraid that
I could be showing an indecent amount of skin. I felt a fluffy towel wrap around
me and suddenly felt my boxers getting pushed down and plopping in the
suddenly draining water. I had to focus but it surprised me and Seifer appeared in
front of me, apologizing.
"What? Why?"
He shook his head.
"I shouldn't 've done that without asking you."
"Seifer, it's fine. Help me get dressed and lay down." I told him to wait a
moment to gain some of my balance and then I found myself half-heartedly
stepping out of the bath. I held up the towel at mid chest level, while I just held
onto the blond as I notice him reaching for the pants.
"Boxers." I said. I was really warm and I didn't feel like being overly hot.
He grabbed the shorts and I suddenly felt like a helpless child getting dressed by
their parent. I hated feeling helpless but I was being helped by someone who
wanted to help. Seifer was there for me so it wasn't that bad.
I lifted my legs and he finally pulled the shorts up and over my hips. I felt
his thumbs run up the sides of my legs and he looked at me before I said that it
was good and they were on. He grabbed a hold of the shirt but lead me out of the
bathroom and to the bed. I sat down and he stood over me.
"Let me get the towel." I nodded slowly and he removed it. I felt the cool
air hit my damp skin and shivered. Maybe I should have worn the pants. The soft
towel was drying the wet skin of my back and he ran it through my hair. I felt him
start to put the shirt on me and all I wanted to do was fall backwards and sleep. I
was getting so tired.
"Thank you..." I said softly. I don't know whether he acknowledged it or
not. My eyes were shut. I heard him walk out the room and some clanking in the
kitchen but those noises were becoming far away now.
I felt a hand at my shoulder and I opened my eyes a little to see Seifer
leaning over me and waking me up. I sat up and he handed me two pills. He held
out the glass of water and I downed them.
I'm forgetting something... Seifer left the cup at the bedside and mumbled
something about nasty ass food. I smiled to myself. He could find anything to
complain about. I was getting really drowsy when I felt the bed shift and I knew it
was the blond settling in.
"Shit..." I said, hardly coherent.
"What is it?" Seifer asked.
"I 'ave to...call Cid.. cancel." The bed moved again and then he was back
with a phone pressed to my ear and ringing. Shit, I wasn't up to speaking. I
quickly gather strength to speak correctly.
"Hello, this is Cid Kramer speaking."
"It's Squall." Wow, what kind of sleeping pills did Kadowaki give me?
These things are working fast.
"Oh Squall. Is there something the matter? I was just about to call. It's
fifteen past seven."
"Sorry. Can't make it. I don't...feel good."
There was a pause on the line.
"Well. Okay then. I will try to talk to you tomorrow. I take it the food had
something to do with it?"
"...dunno..." It was getting hard to concentrate.
"Well then you get your rest and I will speak with you in the morning. Feel
better. Goodbye."
The phone clicked and my head lolled away from the phone, letting Seifer
know that the conversation was over.
"Were you supposed to meet him?"
I 'mmmmed' but I don't think he knew what that meant.
I felt him get into bed again and his arm touched mine. I want to feel
safe...wrapped in those arms again. I forced myself to open my eyes and I blurrily
looked over to see him starring up at the dark ceiling. He had yet to turn off the
bedside lamp.
"Seif..."
His head turned over to see me, probably looking like I was half asleep...in
which I was but....whatever. The important thing was that he smiled. It was
beautiful and made me feel happy to see it again. Since his hand was right next to
mine, I took a hold of it and tugged on it until he got the hint. Seifer is not a stupid
man. He reached over me, staring down at me, never breaking eye contact and
shut the light off. His hand then slid from my shoulder to my waist and pulled me
closer. This was exactly what I wanted. I felt his warmth. It didn't make me hot,
that kind of warmth was there to tell me that I was next to him and it labeled itself
nicely. He was the only one that I ever felt this with. Rinoa didn't emit this heat
to me. It didn't envelope me and make me feel this way. Somehow, I'm brought
back to when we were children and we cuddled after we got soaked in the storm. I
still remember that time as those are one of the few memories that I have as a kid.
I wonder if he remembers too...
"Thank you." I mumble. I don't even think I said thank you...maybe I did.
Did he just say thank you back? Sleep is tugging at my consciousness to let go
and submit, to stop fighting and sleep but I want to know what he said. I want to
know what that pressure was on my cheek. I want to know...but I can only dream
as I see Seifer forming in my dreams again, and this dream is about us living out
our lives without a worry in the world. There I can see Seifer smiling at me, for
me and with me....
