Not Strong Enough To Stay Away

He was her student; she knew she shouldn't be doing this. It had started out as a secret crush; Hell ever since they were little at the orphanage she had considered him cute. When she'd come to the Garden and found him there as well, it was strange. Strange that the two should happen to pop into each other's lives once more. He had no clue she was one of the girls at the orphanage they had been at. Quistis supposed she was a lot different now.

When she had her first class at Garden, he had been in it. He was sarcastic and rude, typical Seifer. Yet his eyes, they seemed to keep something hidden behind them. Maybe he was hiding his other side behind them. Either way, he had her attention. She knew it wasn't healthy to have such an obsession over a student, but in the back of her mind she kept telling herself that he was just attractive. That she would never act on any emotion or thoughts she may have for him.

It was late one evening, everyone had left the classroom, Quistis was packing up her things, getting ready to go when she turned and looked into those blue eyes she knew so well. She jumped a little, taken aback at his sudden presence.

"Seifer, what are you doing here? Class has been dismissed for quite some time now." She told him, chuckling nervously.

He moved forward, making her step back inch by inch towards the wall. "I've seen you eyeing me, Teach." He began, making the other feel ashamed and a bit guilty at being caught, "I thought I'd let you have a taste of what you've been admiring." Her back was flushed against the wall now. Seifer braced one hand against the wall, taking the other and cupping her delicate cheek.

Quistis's eyes grew large as she felt his touch, watched as he leaned in closer and closer until he was inches away from her face. She attempted to say the right thing. Something along the lines of "No, we can't do this; I'm your teacher for God's sake!" But the words wouldn't come. His lips met hers, strong and firm, he started out slow and light; his tongue attempting access into her mouth.

Quistis, lord help her, let out a moan as she let his tongue enter, he dipped his tongue inside her, roaming and exploring every inch of her. He nibbled on her lower lip, driving his teacher crazy. And as quickly as it started, it ended. He pulled back, taking in her glossy eyes and swollen mouth, admiring his work.

"Catch you later Teach." He said and was gone, leaving her confused and terribly horny.

That was the first time they had done anything inappropriate. In her defense, Quistis had not started these actions. She was bound and determined to not let him get to her like that again. At least she would like to think she tried her best to not let this thing get out of control.

He kept appearing out of nowhere, always when she was alone. Teasing her with his touch, making her want to break the rules and just have him completely. Every time they'd have these moments, she'd never interact, thinking that maybe if she did get caught that she'd be able to defend herself somewhat.

While walking down the hall late one night, heading to her room, she was scooped up and shoved to the wall. She assumed it was Seifer, but when she looked into the person's face, she was met with brown eyes. She went to let out a scream when the man held her mouth shut with his big meaty hands.

"What's the matter teach? Seifer the only student you'll fuck?" He sassed her as his free hand roamed her body roughly. She heard the sound of a zipper and her eyes bulged. She tried getting out of his grip but his brute strength was too much for her. His hand worked its way to her skirt, lifting it up and exposing her to the cold air. His hips braced against hers, his face twisted and smirking. She bit his hand, making him release her mouth long enough for her to let out a cry for help. He slapped her face hard, and then capped her mouth with his hand once more.

"You'll pay for that bitch." He told her, ripping her pink top open, exposing her breasts. His mouth attached to one and bit down hard, making her cry out in pain. That's when Seifer came upon them. Quistis was the first to see him standing there, her attacker not aware of his presence. Seifer's face hardened as he reached out and grabbed a chuck of the other man's hair, pulling him off the teacher. He kneed the man in the face multiple times, watching as blood began to drip from his face. He then threw the student on the floor, kneeling on his back as he slammed the kid's head against the concrete.

When the kid was no longer conscious, Seifer helped the vulnerable teacher to her room. He went to the bathroom, and brought back first aid supplies.

"I think he'll need them more than I will." She tried making a joke about the situation, Seifer not saying a word back as he quietly tended to her small cuts and bruises. When he was done, Quistis got up and went into the bathroom, turning on the shower. She felt incredibly sore and shaky still, and hoped a hot shower would make her feel a bit better. She was trying to be brave, after all she didn't get completely raped by that guy…She sat on the side of the sink and pressed her hands to her face, tears sliding down her face. She had never been so scared in her entire life.

She never heard him come in; only when he took her hands in his own did she know he was still there. He helped her up, gently took off the remainder of her clothes and helped her into the shower. He closed the shower curtain, making her think that he was going to leave now, when he opened it again to hop in himself. She would have loved to appreciate his nakedness any other time, but right now it was strictly business. He helped her clean herself up, taking the soap and lathering her up, his hands working their magic. After rinsing off, they just stood together in the warm spray of water. He held her against him, resting his head a top her own, comforting her.

That's when Quistis decided to break the rules, and take Seifer as her lover.
