Truth and lies.
It was one of normal schooldays in Balamb Garden. Seifer Almasy was sitting in his corner of the classroom and was trying act interested when the instructor was sharing her knowledge with them.
''Tomorrow there will be a small quiz about things learned today..'' Said the instructor and looked suggestively at Seifer. Seifer just yawned and ran out from the room, among others.
He had been lucky that Squall had taken him back to Garden. All of his life was here, but could he call this life? Same things kept happening to him everyday. Studies, training, same people. This made him feel miserable.
''Fuck with studies! I really hate this place!'' He shouted out loud, glencing his fists and eyeing others under his golden eyebrows. Few people left the area when they noticed Seifer losing his temper, again. They already knew that when he did so, things would get difficult.
He stormed across the halls and made his way towards the elevators. Suddenly someone accidentally dashed towards him. Seifer felt how he lost his balance and fell on his knees.
''Hey, why dontcha watch were u are goin'!'' Said the angry voice under him. Seifer mumbled something and touched his aching head. When he looked who the dasher was, he got furious.
''Fuck you chicken-wuss!'' Seifer shouted and was almost ready to punch the smaller blonde to the nose. Zell Dincht rolled aside and turned red from anger.
''Dontcha dare to call me that!'' He made a stunning combo towards Seifer. Seifer took the hits and noticed how his down-lip got swollen.
''May I ask what are you doing?'' Seifer and Zell both turned their heads towards the talker. It was Squall Leonhart, staring them both with wide eyes.
''Can't you see? We here are trying to settle things down.'' Seifer grinned and stood up. Zell, who was still on the ground sat and scratched the back of his head.
''Usually it's a habit to TALK things up, not to fight.'' Squall said with his normal monotonic voice and rolled his eyes.
''Or if you have to, do it somewhere else!''
Zell nodded his head and started to talk. ''Seifer started to call me chicken-wuss again..''
''Yeah right, you ran towards me! And I have my rights to say what I like!''
''Not while I'm here Seifer Almasy, I took you back because I thought that you would have grown up, but I guess that I was wrong.'' Squall said voice rising. Seifer could sence the slowly growing temper in him, like a volcano ready to erupt.
Seifer just shook his head and left the area not even looking behind. It was useless to say something against Squall, now when he was the headmaster of Garden. No matter how much Seifer hated his rival he was grateful to him. Without Squall, Seifer would have no place to go.
Soon he entered his dormitory room and put the lights on. He was tired and collapsed on the bed, closing his eyes. It wouldn't been far that he had fallen asleep but something made him wake up again.
A sound, which came when someone wanted to chat with him. Seifer hung in internet many hours a day and he found easy to chat with people. There he was faceless and he didn't have to worry about his past.
Quickly Seifer rose from his bed and rushed on his computer. He snapped the mouse and made the screen appear. Then he read the message.
''Hello Gunblader!''
''Oh, hello ;) ''
''So how was your day?''
''Fine, as normal as always. And you know it's really boring me out.''
''How so? Has something gone badly?''
''Not actually..'' Seifer typed to the stranger, whose alias was Cold-as- ice. It was so easy to talk to someone who you didn't know. Seifer found himself often sharing his thoughts with this person, he seemed to understand him very well.
''Or perhaps yes, I still cannot get in contact with the person who I like..''
It took a couple of minutes after his chat-friend answered.
''Can I ask how so? Have you given him your best shot?''
''No, he is so distant and tense. My feelings don't mean anything to him. And I can't communicate with him, he is such a difficult person.''
''Ahh :) No sweat man, I know many people too who have shared the same problems as you and they all have found a conclusion. You just have to give him time.''
''Time? How will I be able to give him time if I don't get a chance to confess my feelings for him?''
''Just be patient.'' Cold-as-ice left the chat.
Seifer sighed sadly and closed his computer. Why couldn't he just be honest to Squall about his feelings? He liked him, he loved him? Or was it love? Passion he felt when he saw him was driving him mad.
But the chat person was right. Seifer should figure out the way to get in contact with Squall. Thinking made tears appear in his eyes, why was living so hard? Why being loved was so hard? His body started to feel heavier and soon he fell asleep on his bed. _________________________________________________________________________
Next morning came quickly. Seifer opened his eyes lazyly and made his way to the bathroom. When he was brushing his teeth someone knocked on the door. Seifer walked to open it, wearing only his satin boxers.
Behind the door stood Selphie who was smiling like the sun. Seifer looked at her in amazement and leaned on the door.
''What are you doing here?''
Selphie smiled and laughed. Seifer noticed her blushing lightly when she noticed that he was only wearing his boxers.
''Tee-hee, I was wondering if you could come to the breatfast with me..''
Seifer was now even more amazed. He thought that Squall's friends hated him? Appearently not, or at least Selphie seemed to like his company. Seifer laughed softly and wiped of the toothpaste from the corner of his mouth.
''Why not? I'll be down in a couple of minutes.'' Selphie smiled brightly and left jumping around the corridor.
''Nice that some people have fun this early in the morning..'' he muttered and disappeared back inside. Soon he was ready and left towards the cafeteria to grab some breakfast.
