Chapter 3.
…..
“Sandi? That’s a girl’s name.” Zell stuck out his tongue.
“It’s unisex.” Selphie corrected, dropping the profile on the table in front of her friend.
“Look see he’s 6ft, nice and tall like you wanted.”
“I can’t trust people who are too tall.”
The girl frowned. “What the hell does that mean?”
Zell just made a face.
“You trust Irvy though don’t you? And Seifer?”
“Seifer was an asshole.”
“But he got over it, for the most part.”
“Maybe to you and everyone who isn’t me but I still get laughed at and called names.”
“Maybe he likes you.”
Zell scoffed. “He doesn’t have to laugh at me.”
“But honey everyone laughs at you.”
He frowned. “What?!”
She giggled. “I’m just kidding.”
He put his elbows on the table on either side of the profile and his head in his hands. “You’re so mean to me.” He looked at the profile. “He looks okay.” In the photo the guy had dark hair, green eyes, neat appearance and he wore his Seed uniform.
“Yep his dad has a business that he helps with in Balamb, he’s rich.”
Zell frowned. “Being rich or not doesn’t really bother me, especially as he’s Seed he could be dead next week.”
“That’s cheery thinking.” She frowned. “But he’s attractive, nice guy, not an asshole.”
“I’ll do it.”
“Really? You’ll date him?”
He nodded
“Great, I already spoke to Sandi he’s keen and quite an admirer of yours.”
Zell grinned. “Really? I’ve never had a male admirer before, I mean I know Squall and Irvine have tons, maybe even Seifer but not me.”
Selphie shook her head. Zell was so dense sometimes.
“Okay you’ll meet him at the white horse bar in Balamb at seven. Try to wear something smart he’s quite particular about that.”
“No jeans then?”
“No.”
Zell frowned. “But all I have are jeans.”
She shrugged. “Borrow some trousers from someone else.”
“Right I’ll ask Squall.” He grinned. “So who’d Seifer and Squall get?”
“That’s confidential.”
“Oh come on sef they won’t mind me knowing.”
She bit her lip as she thought about it. “Oh okay then.” She smiled and sat down beside him. “I paired Squall up with Rikuo, you know him?”
“Yeah, well I know of him the quiet type, you paired the two most anti-social people in garden together?”
“They have things in common.”
“Like what? Not talking? What if they never say anything?”
She giggled, lightly hitting him. “Don’t be silly of course they’ll talk to each other… eventually.”
“And Seifer?”
“I saw Suki checking him out so I paired them together.”
“You set sweet Suki up with asshole of the year? I’m starting think you’re not very good at this.”
She scowled at him. “Hey I’m the expert here, and anyway I happen to know for a fact that Suki thinks Seifer’s hot.”
“Well of course he does so do I but I also think he’s a complete shit.”
She grinned. “You think Seifer’s hot?!”
“Did you miss the part about him being a shit?”
“You like Seifer?”
He frowned. “Do you have selective hearing?”
“You know if your date with Sandi doesn’t go well and Seifer’s not into Suki I could always-”
“Oh no, no, no, no. I don’t like Seifer in that way.”
“But you said-”
“Do you date all the guys that you think are attractive?”
“Well-” She looked sheepish.
“Never mind, I forgot I was talking to you.”
She giggled as she got up from the table. “I’ll see you later, don’t forget to ask to borrow some trousers from someone.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
…..
Irvine was reading a book in the library, well okay he was pretending to read the book so that he didn’t get thrown out by that bitch who thought she owned the library and didn’t like him being there for harassing the “innocent” girls. He scoffed at the thought of any of the three girls who worked in the library being innocent.
“Irvine.”
He glanced up at Squall, who’s expression was his usual black one.
“Hey gorgeous.”
The expression changed to one of irritation. “Don’t call me that.”
“What can I do for you commander?”
“You’ve been on a lot of dates right?”
“A few.”
“Rinoa talked me into joining the dating agency.”
“You don’t have to do that honey, you just to socialize a bit more that’s all.”
Squall frowned. “I’m only doing it to help out Selphie and Rinoa, they need the practice and nothing will come out of it.”
“Is that what they told you? They need the practice? Sounds like a good con if you ask me.”
Squall frowned. “I didn’t.” He dropped into seat opposite Irvine.
“So what do you want from me?”
“What do I do?”
“On a first date? Talk- which I know isn’t your strong point, who are you meeting?”
“Some guy err Rikuo I think.”
Irvine nodded. “I know him.”
“You do? What’s he like?”
“I knew him in Galbadia, nice guy mostly tad quiet like you, used to have a pet hamster, giving good head, used to-”
Squall blinked as one of those bits of information sank in. “Err- What?!”
“Hmm?”
“You’ve had my date?!”
“Err- well it was the Galbadian ball and someone spiked the punch and he woke up in my bed that’s all.”
“That’s all? Soon I’ll be the only one here you haven’t slept with.”
Irvine leered at him. “I can help with that if you like.”
“No thank you.”
Irvine pouted at him. “What do I wear?”
“Something… sexy, I mean you look pretty sexy most of the time anyway but leather helps especially with your ass because you’re got a great-”
“Irvine!”
He looked sheepish. “Sorry got a little carried away then.” He leaned forward and grabbed Squall’s bicep, earning himself slapped knuckles.
“What are you doing?!”
“Hmm maybe a nice tank top to show those puppies off.”
Squall frowned, getting up. “Thanks.” He muttered, not sounding at all thankful.
….
Zell pounded on Squall’s door franticly. Three hours until his date and Squall had take this moment to vanish off the face of the earth, he had wanted to borrow some pants from his brunette friend.
“Squall!” He yelled through the door.
No answer.
He probably wasn’t in so who the hell else was supposed to borrow clothes from. Nida was a big no as he had borrowed something before and ruined it, Seifer and Irvine were too tall though maybe he should ask anyway. He turned and ran down the corridor to Seifer’s room.
The door opened on the first knock by a topless Seifer with a cigarette hanging from his lips. “What do you want?”
“Nice welcome, I’m come to steal your pants.”
The tall blonde made a face. “You what?”
“Pants I need some for my date.” He barged into Seifer’s dorm.
“Come in why don’t you?” He muttered, following Zell into the bedroom.
The shorter man was sitting on his knees in front of Seifer’s wardrobe, desperately looking at how long the pairs of trousers where.
“And how are my clothes going to fit your short ass?”
“It’s not my fault you’re too tall!”
Seifer perched on the end of his bed. “And why are you borrowing my clothes exactly?”
“For my date.”
“Don’t you have any of your own?”
“Not good ones, I only have jeans and Selphie says Sandi particular about dressing well.”
Seifer snorted, snubbing out his cigarette and getting off the bed. He reached into the wardrobe over Zell’s head and got out a pair of black pants. “These ones are too short for me, try them.”
Zell took them and set them on the bed, removing his own pants with zero modesty to try them.
Seifer stood off to one side of the room, eyes watching those muscular legs come into view, he licked his lips unconsciously. As the black pants were pulled up Zell’s legs Seifer blinked and broke his trance.
Zell groaned.
“What?” He asked, walking nearer to get a better look.
Seifer chuckled.
“Don’t laugh at me!”
“Where have your feet gone?”
“Stupid ass trousers, stupid, stupid tall people!
The pants looked a little too snug around the waist and the legs reached the floor, completely covering Zell’s feet.
“I thought you said these things were tall for you.”
“They are!”
Zell struggled to sit down, pulling the material away from himself at the same time. “I can’t breathe in here.”
“’Cause you’re fat.”
“I am not fat!”
Seifer smirked. Zell had the short but compact body of a fighter.
“Maybe if I roll these up.” Zell turned the bottoms of jeans up by about four inches. He stood. “How do I look now?”
He looked like a kid who had yet to grow into his clothing. “You look-” Adorable. “Ridiculous.”
Zell frowned then just sighed. “I know.” He flopped onto the bed again without bending at the waist. Seifer chuckled.
“But what choice do I have? Irvine will be too tall, Squall’s vanished and Nida hates me borrowing his clothes.”
“You can’t go out like that! Wear something of yours.”
“Haven’t you been paying attention? I don’t have anything!”
“Just wear your smartest pair of jeans.”
“But Selphie said-”
“Who cares? So the guy’s particular that’s be honest here you are not a well dressed guy.”
Zell put his hands on his hips. “Hey asshole.”
“So what if you like wearing jeans and t-shirts, that’s you and if he doesn’t like you for you then that’s his loss.”
That shut Zell up for once. “Err- Yeah exactly, jeans it is then.” He stripped off Seifer’s trousers. “When did you start making sense?”
“I always make sense Chickie, just you never stopped bouncing around all over the fucking place to listen.”
“What are you wearing on your date?”
Seifer pointed the pants he was wearing and picked up a shirt that he always wore.
“You’re not going to make any effort at all?”
“I washed my hair.”
Zell scoffed in amusement. “That’s it?”
“Look if we get on, then I’ll make the effort.”
“Zell finished getting is pants on. “Okay, I’m gone.” He walked to the door. “Good luck, or should I be wishing Suki luck?”
“Ha ha funny.”
Zell grinned around the door, slipping out and shutting the door behind him.
