"Do you like my new outfit?" Bartz asked with a laugh as he twirled around on the back of his heel, arms spread wide.

Squall sniffed, "It covers more of you than your usual one does."

"That's the point," Bartz explained while adjusting the cape that rested on his shoulders. "If― IF everything is true and the cycle repeats, I'm gonna seduce you by showing less in the next one."

"And pray tell how exactly do you think that will work," Squall said, thoroughly unimpressed.

"Well, since I seduced you merely by flaunting my sexy and toned body this time around I thought that hiding it would be different. Imagine all the things I could be wearing underneath this outfit― rope, leather, nipple clamps, anything. I can't do that with my other one," Bartz said thoughtfully.

"So I can only imagine your 'sexy and toned' body?" Squall asked.

"Oh, you get full access to Bartz Klauser," Bartz said in an obviously fake seductive manner, unbuttoning the top button of his shirt for emphasis. "I just might not remember that yet when the time comes."

Squall smirked, smacking Bartz on the back of head as he walked away. Laughter followed behind Squall, and soon after Bartz ran to catch up with him.
