*Final Fantasy does not belong to me I am using the characters to form an Alternate Universe. All characters belong to Square Enix*

AN: Hey guys I'm DarkPiro. I've never written fan fiction before so I hope it sounds okay. I'm used to writing my own stuff but a very close friend *couchEmeraldWitcough* told me I should try and write some fan fiction. As this is a huge challenge for me I decided to give it a go and this is what I have come up with. I figure I'll be writing basically what I know. Which are video games, specifically the final fantasy genre since I have grown up with them since the Gameboy. So on that note I'm going to write a Final fantasy 8 since I've beaten that game, over and over. This time Squall is teamed up with Seifer. They are what you called "buddies" *snicker* I hope you have fun. Btw I'm writing in first person like I am squall

It's a typical night in the training room Seifer and I both have our gunblades out fighting err should I say training as all good students of Balamb Garden do. I stand a good distance from him weapon drawn, I fiercely look into his eyes as I dash forward. At that exact moment he looks at me with a slight grin on his face. He goes into a semi offensive stance and we clash blades, a mass amount of sparks flying upon contact. He pushes me to the ground and points the blade in my direction. He pulls the trigger luckily for me it jams. He looks pissed as l get up from the ground and dash away from him. I rush him and I take my blade dragging it across the ground and slash him in front of his the face. He takes a step forward as I slash and the blade crosses his face, blood instantly dripping from both my blade and his face. He drops to one knee without a single noise. I take a few steps back bracing myself for his next attack. He stands up slowly; an evil smirk crosses his blood ridden face. I knew instantly what was coming, his arm shoots out straight, and I can see a buildup of energy around his arm leading to his hand. I knew instantly what was coming, magic something forbidden to use in Balamb Garden.( But he's well someone whose not a stickler for the rules somewhat of a bad boy, I've always been attracted to the bad boy types which is why we get along so great). I brace myself for the attack, something I know I can't block that great. He unleashes the attack at nearly thirty paces in front of me. The attack hits me with full force, it's a good thing I braced myself because I was able to keep my balance. He lunges forward, over shoots just a bit and slashes me across the face drawing blood also. I drop to one knee and stab the blade into the ground to show that I surrender.

"Okay you win this time man. I hope this blood comes out I really don't want it messing up this shirt you bought me last week." I said hopefully.

"Well let's just get this blood cleaned up and get your cute butt to the infirmary we have grad in a few hours. And by the way Squallie it's just a shirt. If it stains I'll get you a new one." He cheerfully said full knowing that I hate being called 'Squallie'

~bzzt "Seifer and Squall please report to the director's office immediately" bzzt~

"Oh man we're screwed. The director saw." I got really sketchy. I didn't want to get in trouble only hours before our graduation.

"Don't worry your doll face about this it's not that bad. We didn't get hurt too much." He laughed as we made our way to the infirmary anyway. We got to look pretty for the director.

As we were walking down the long corridor of the hallway I stopped at the window peering at the clear starry night. Wishing that we weren't bloody and battered, well I wasn't battered. I guess I kind of zoned out because I didn't feel Seifer's hands wrap around my waist. He held me in his firm grip calming me down. He always knows just what to do to calm my nerves. We stood there for what seems like hours when he finally spoke.

"Squallie, I know you're worried about what's going to happen after the grad but really you don't. We're a team and I am not going to leave you, so really don't worry."

"I know that but I keep having this dream that something bad is going to happen"

"You just need to relax; I won't let anything bad happen to you. I promise." His toned changed "we should get going to the infirmary we don't want to keep the director waiting." I knew he was right so I nodded and we continued on.

It seemed routine at the infirmary we got our scratches looked at; his scratch on his face was a lot deeper than mine which worried me. The nurse gave us some medicine to help with the pain of the healing; she told us that the scratches on our faces are going to be scars. That scared me but the thing that kept it decently okay was that Seifer and I would have matching scars. Like we belonged together which made me happy. The room we were in was quiet and serene, kind of like that first morning after huge snowfall in winter. Seifer and I were enjoying each others company when the intercom sounded again breaking the silence informing us that we have to go see the director. Reluctantly and with a groan I got up and took his hand.

"We should go before were in too much trouble." I coerced him to be sympathetic to me because I'm really worried.

"You know Squallie you worry way too much. But if it makes you feel better we will go."

The nurse wanted us to stay for a bit loonger but I told her that we will be back if the need arises. Without another word we left the infirmary and headed to the lift that would take us to the director's office. The doors slideopen revealing the long corrider and the window that I stared into. As we walked through the hallway we were approached by Rinoa. She was wearing her baby blue sweater with wings on the back. I gave her that for her birthday last month, I think its her favorite shirt. She gave us an encouraging look and passed by us to go do her volunteer work with the nurse.

We approached the lift and pressed the button, the lift opened almost instantly. The doors slide open revealing the director. I looked at Seifer with a scared looking on my face. He held my hand tight to let me know it was going to be ok.

"There you boys are. I got sick of waiting. Now lets go to my office. Get in the lift." He ordered. We obeyed graciously and entered the lift. We faced the outside and the doors closed.

AN: I hope it was okay for the first chapter. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope you had a good read. More to come.
