" Sweet Bliss "

By Poison and Tina

Chapter 1

Man walks along the sidewalk. Laguna just got a haircut so his dark near black hair hangs around his shoulder loose, bangs sway infront of his eyes , hair has a touch of gray. Blue jacket's straps hang loose, under the jacket is a white shirt that buttons up front, slacks are a black, and has some fine boots on his feet. He originally came to visit Squall, but Squall is busy so Laguna came to Balamb town to get souvenirs. He is looking into a shop now Seifer walks down through the streets of Balamb, his trench coat ragged from having no money to buy any new clothes and his hair a mess, but he is not crushed, and as he spots Laguna, he decides to speak to him as he has not seen any ties to his past face to face for a long time, and Laguna is distant enough. Determined to find out something of what has been happening, Seifer walks over to Laguna and taps him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to be Laguna would ya?" Laguna turns to see the handsome face of Seifer. The older man looks younger then his actual age, always has. Gives Seifer a warm, charismatic smile that he is famous for. "That would be me! Oh.. You are Seifer. How have you been? I hope well. " The questions genuine of course since he did care about the kids, even Seifer. Seifer was only being controlled by evil so Laguna didn't hold him responsible. Seifer feels slightly taken aback by Laguna's friendless, expecting a more icy reception, but he does not let it show and he smiles politely in reply. "I'm doin' okay, how about yourself?"

Laguna, "Wasting time! I came to visit my son but he had a job to do so I decided to come here and look around. Got some things for gifts to take back. Hard to shop for a seven foot man ya know? "

Seifer smiles slightly, nodding in agreement. "Absolutely, Squall's always busy, that's just his damn way I guess." Seifer laughs slightly half way through his sentence, but it sounds slightly fake. "Yeah... Hmm... I'm glad to finally meet you, I've read alot about you, in the papers and stuff, ya know? All good stuff of course."

Laguna is a bit taken back at first then chuckles and shakes it off. "All lies and propaganda mostly likely. I am really a big clumsy kid. Heck, I think I embarrass my son so much he avoids me." Shrugs that last part off with a second of a weak smile. Then the real smile comes back, "Hey, you know goodgood places to go?"

Seifer smiles slightly and shrugs a little "Everywhere's nice in this place but I particularly like the docks... If you where looking for a drinking place, I'm not quite so well versed, a sorceresses knight tends to be on a bouncers black list." He chuckles lightly and shrugs, leaning against a nearby wall as he does so.

Laguna frowns, "That's no fair! A man should be able to get a beer if he wants." Not thrilled at the injustice served to Seifer. Then again he got an idea. "We can always buy some beer or something at the store and go to the docks then! No one to hassle us and I can see this view of yours."

Seifer smiles slightly and nods "Laguna, you read my mind I swear. But I'm afraid I'm rather broke, to put it mildly. And to be fair, I did serve quite a great injustice to the world. It's only fair that folks don't really want a former murderer in their bar."

Laguna, "I am not broke! Lets raid a store and get some booze! This my treat since you are kind enough to keep me company. I hate to drink alone, ya know? With my habit of getting into trouble... " He chuckles and goes to a sore he saw some fine drinks on the shelves.

Seifer smiles slightly and merely nods, hovering on the spot where he is, his eyes skirting around the shop carefully on the outlook for anything unusual as was his way these days.

Laguna gets a brand of beer that was smooth to the taste but expensive. He had some refines taste in his liquor since he became president of his own city. Left his job inlap of his friend for a bit of a vacation. Not that he asked for many anyway. He pays for it and for once his day seems to be going without incident, Seifer smiles slightly, raising one eyebrow. "Whoa...The good stuff, and I was expecting Budweiser," he remarks with a slight wink. "You wanna head of to the docks now or is there anything else ya wanna get?" He does not move from his spot at the door though.

Laguna thinks a moment, "Naw.. I have what I want anyway. Lets get moving before I klutz up." Poking a little fun at himself since Kiros wasn't here to do it. Lets Seifer lead the way, his habit of getting lost made him not the best one to follow anywhere.

Seifer shrugs a little, smiling slightly "I'm sure you're not that bad of a klutz" he replies thoughtfully as he walks down the street. "I mean, after all, if you made it into becoming president and all that, you must have some merits, eh?" he glances back, smiling slightly and winking as they continue to walk.

Laguna then trips and almost drops the drinks. Except his quick reflexes from being in the military he managed not to drop the beer, other hand he was so into keeping the beer safe, he lands on one knee and skins it a bit. Nothing serious and hardly marks the pants. Seifer turns quickly, moving the stop the other man from falling just a little to late. He restrains a slight chuckle and holds out his hand as a lever to help him up. "Maybe I should carry that?" he suggests jokingly with a small smile. Laguna winces a bit and he laughs at his own trip. He was used to it and found it easier to see the funny side of himself. "Yeah please. " He gets back up and passes the drinks over to Seifer, "As for my current job? I'll explain how I got that when we settle down." Seifer nods slightly, deciding to the grip the beers tightly and pay caution after Laguna's trip, being a little suspicious about bad omens and all. He rolls his eyes at himself but does it all the same. "Is your knee okay?" he inquires as an after thought.

Laguna, "I think so, maybe only just took a lil skin." His knee stung when it touch of his pants to it. Felt a bit warm also but he ignored that and followed Seifer again, "I'm surprised I didn't drop the beer."

Seifer laughs a little and shrugs. "Ah, it wouldn't have mattered if you did, but I'm not. You have fast reflexes, military right? I know you used to be a soldier. Ah, we're here."

Seifer walks forwards slowly, his boots making a hollow thud on the wood as he sets down the beers and stares out into the sea. He loves it here, it's always so quiet and none of the fishermen care who he is anyway so he never gets a smidgen of hassle. For a split second, he's taken in, but quickly resumes himself. Laguna pauses as he looks at the sight. He is also taken in by the view of this. He stands staying a bit longer then Seifer but he settles down on the docks anyway.

Laguna in awe, "That is a gorgeous view... " Sight left him a bit breathless.

Seifer nods a little, pleased the other man appreciates what he has shown him. " Nice ain't it? " He smiles slightly and glances out into the horizon again, taking in the view once more. Laguna takes a beer and pops it open. His eyes are on the horizon that sky seems to melt into the blue ocean and vise versa. "Oh yeah, my current job. You won't believe it but I never attended to be a president of anything."

Seifer looks across at the other man "No? How did it happen then?" he inquires curiously.

Laguna takes a drink first, "I wanted to be a journalist. I used the army to see the world. I went on a mission that almost killed me and my friends. I survived a fall off a cliff to find myself very hurt. A small village took me in. I found myself fighting off the monsters because only people left in the village were women, children, and old men. All the other strong men were at war. I fell in love with a woman there and helped her care for a girl named Ellone. One day she was captured... So I went looking for her. After a long search found her prisoner of sorceress Adel. I broke her out of the lab they had her and found myself helping a rebellion within Esthar. Before I know it, they made me this big name guy in it. So we trap Adel but they all want a new leader for Esther. By then all the propaganda made me a hero! They elected me to be a lifelong president before I could have a say."

Seifer nods slightly "Ah...Wow...Sounds exciting...What was the woman's name?" Seifer fidgets slightly, feeling a little odd at prying into Laguna's personal business so fast, but he is genuinely curious about the man's story.

Laguna, " Her name was Raine."

Seifer, " Ah... " does not really know what to say. "Are you unhappy about being president...?" he inquires slowly, not wanting to upset or offend Laguna at all.

Laguna adds a bit in afterthought more speaking to himself. " Squall looks alot like her you know, even has her temperament." Then he comes back to the moment and chuckles, "It isn't all that bad aside the paperwork. The pain was having to go back and forth in space to secure Adel's prison. Now that she is gone, I don't have to do that anymore."

Seifer, "Yeah, going in and out of space would be a chore wouldn't it? I'm sorry about your wife? Raine? I read in the newspapers you had a wife who had died a while ago, you know, one of those people biographies things they stick in the start of a report." he goes t, bt, but attempts to look as sympathetic as he can, which basically means a dead pan expression, but it is better than a smirk. for sure.

Laguna smiles softly which for a moment he doesn't look like a boy but for a moment looks beautiful almost. " I just regret I wasn't there for her. Nice to know he found friends at that place ran by Cid and Edea. But enough of that! I hear you are one of two people who have mastered a gunblade. I am impressed, I was taught how to use one in the military and know they take real skill." Seifer smiles slightly and shrugs "Squall is obviously superior, he defeated me," he replies simply. "You seem a man of many talents, a reporter, a president, a gunblade specialist, a soldier, whatever next?" he smiles a little wider and shrugs. "Squall has got alot of friends yes, people like him, I heard he's head of the garden now, is that right or is that just crazy rumors flying about the place?"

Laguna, "That is a true point. He seems to be growing into the job too. " He also remembered the state the shimu tribe just made of him and a pang of embarrassed pleasure goes through him though he hides that the best he can, "I bet you can kick my butt in a fight. " Hands Seifer a beer, "Now, I have fallen off a few cliffs and such. That led to the time I met the Shmu tribe. One of them that helped Cid found Garden if my info is correct. "

Seifer accepts the beer and nods "Master Norg. Fujin and Rajin informed me of that. I don't know much about it all though, except that Squall and a few of his bunch sorted him out or whatever, that Squall, damn, he sorts everything out don't he?" Seifer chuckles softly and takes a quick swig of his beer.

Laguna shakes his head, "His mother was the same way! She was the head of the village during the war. Strong woman with a good heart. You.. you don't seem like a admintravtive type to me. You are like that wandering fighter. "

Seifer shrugs a little and smiles slightly. "I wouldn't put it so...Elaborately. I'd change it to a hobo," he smirks wider, relaxing a little around Laguna, enough to let his sarcastic and rather dry nature show through more. "Squall's definitely a leader type though, for sure. I could see that when he and his groupies took me on, he lead them into battle well."

Laguna, "I didn't see that much. I did hear you cut a guardian force in half. Not that I was into using them anyway. So, what have you been doing aside being shunned by people? "

Seifer nods a little. "Odin, yes. He was a weak fool. And aside from being shunned by people? I have been searching for a job and what not. I'm not a person who likes to be out of a job for long, makes me feel helpless, and I need the money."

Laguna thinks a moment and decided to admit something, "Listen.. Another reason I left the city was because of a death threat that was made on me... I was thinking of asking Squall for some help but I never got the chance. Maybe you can be a body guard, eh?"

Seifer smiles a little, nodding almost excitably. "You serious? That's perfect, just the kinda job I need," he quickly becomes somber, "A death threat? That's awful."

Laguna smiles in that charsimatic manner of his he does subconcoiusly, "Also someone tried to shoot at me. I have just enough luck yo keeop me alive though. My absence is all hussh hush for now. I could use someome of your skills to watch my back. We can iron out the annoying details later."

Seifer, "Yes, I agree, annoying details are sucky. Do you have any idea who shot you? You shouldn't tolerate that kind of thing, Laguna, screw hopping town! I'd shot his ass right back! Why didn't you fight him Laguna? Was you unarmed? If you was, that person is the ultimate coward!" Seifer stops, scowling a little in annoyance as he can't stand a coward who fires at an unarmed opponent.

Laguna thinks, "I was too busy seeing to the man who did get shot. I have no idea who shot at me, just that it happened when I was travelng about the city. If it is a man mind you! i have no name or face, plus the city doesn't many real fighters except me. Ward and Kiros won't let me chase anyone down on foot due to my importance."

Seifer, "Ah...Yes, someone else got shot? That's terrible." Seifer sighs slightly, shaking his head. "I can't believe anyone would want to shoot you. You seem like such a nice man. Do you think it was a statement from a rebellion group maybe or something of the sort? Political or personal, so to speak?"

Laguna pauses, "The sorceress did have followers who were not beitched. It could be someone wants to remove e to get someone else in office. or maybe someone who is totlay insane and blames me for things I am not awre of. Or someone who wants the fame of assasinating a president. " Grabs another beer,

Seifer, "Yeah. There's some crazy nuts in the world these days." Seifer sighs once more and shakes his head. "Ah...What are you planning to do in the future then? Are you going to lay low here a while or what?"

Laguna, "Heck no! I have a job to do. Just, I figured I could get some help and visit my son. Two stones with one bird," pauses, "or is it two birds with one stone? Anyway, I rarly get vacations and it is nice to be able to sit on a dock with someone and just drink beers."

Seifer laughs slightly and nods in agreement. "h, Ih, I'm pretty lonely these days to be honest, Fuu and Rai went back to balamb garden and I ain't too good at getting buddys. And it's two birds with one stone, if I remember correctly."

Laguna, "Yeah! I am suprised.. you seem like a pretty cool guy. The again, in the army I didn't have alot of friends. And don't ever call me sir or president. After a while the formal titles get.. so damn tiresome. Have another beer."

Seifer, "Thanks," takes another beer, smirking a little. "I've changed. I used to be Seifer the asshole but now I'm more Seifer the defeated and educated or whatever. Thankyou for the compliment." Seifer smiles a little more honestly than usual, a real smile that makes him look less intimidating and more normal.
