*Note: Hi y'all am back! I jest wanted to say how much I appreciate all the interviews with my past fics. This is a whole new thing for me. This is my first love triangle, EVER! Please bare with me. Oh, this isn't the usual 'Irvine is a rapist and sex-addict, making Selphie run into Zell's arms' thing. Irvine is himself and him and Selphie like each other. And Zell doesn't really give a crap about Selphie, but what if Zell had a chance to get to know her while Irvine was away on a mission?
Three To Tango
"Selphie.... I like you and not just as a friend like, but as a girlfriend, like." Selphie stared into his eyes to see if he was kidding. He wasn't. Irvine Kinneas, the ladies man, who barely had one committment towards any girl, was finally admitting his feelings towards her. Irvine? A boyfriend? She never really thought Irvine to be a boyfriend material. But since being with him in missions and him always flirting with her and her alone, Selphie had grown fond of him. Not in a friendship way, but in a loving way. Selphie was definitely smitten by this cowboy. Selphie had never really wanted to tell him how she felt. She was afraid he would laugh and reject her. Now... this happens. Selphie might have a chance after all.
Irvine reached for her hands and clasped it in his own. His hands were warm and Selphie felt safe under his gaze. "Selphie? Did you hear what I said?"
It took a few moments until Selphie realized that she was staring intently into his eyes. Selphie snapped out of her reverie and smiled. She has never been happier to hear Irvine that he liked her more than just a friend. "I.... I like you too, Irvy." She stared into his eyes once again.
Irvine smiled. He thought it was going to be hard to tell her. He thought Selphie would reject him, but when she said those words with her eyes gesturing that she was, after all, telling the truth, Irvine almost felt his knees weakened. "Really?" he choked, trying to hide the excitement in his voice.
The bouncy brunette laughed. She reached over and touched his face. "Yeah of course! It took you that long to admit to me?" she teased.
Irvine snorted. "What are you talking about? We had all the time in the world and YOU never told me you were hot for me?"
Selphie punched him playfully in the arm and took his hand into her own. She warmly stroked his hand and they stared like that sitting in the cafeteria the whole day, away from the prying eyes of their friends just sitting a few table away from them.
"It took them that long?" Seifer smirked, placing an arm on the table and wrapping an arm around Quistis' shoulders. He looked at Zell and lifted up his arm towards him. "Pay up, Chicken-Wuss! You owe me!"
Quistis nudged him on the shoulders and glared at him. "I can't believe you had a bet to see how long it took them to admit their feelings for each other!" She threw her hands up and stood up. "UNBELIEVABLE!" For that, she turned around and walked away.
Seifer jerked up and ran after his frustrated girl friend.
Zell rolled his eyes and watched at the couple ahead of him. Why it took them so long to admit their feelings for each other, he may never understand.
****************
A few days had passed by, Selphie and Irvine were the most adorable couple. Squall and Rinoa were the first for a few weeks, Quistis and Seifer took longer, but everyone had a feeling, Selphie and Irvine will be the longest out of the two couples. Irvine leaned against the wall as he sat on his bed and rested his head on his arms.
"What do you like about her?" his friend asked, glancing at Irvine with the corner of his eyes.
"Everything, Zell! She's sweet and kind! Selphie is the person who truly changed me."
Zell snorted. He looked at him and arched an eyebrow. "You mean changed you from a ladies' man into a committed guy? Wow, that's a first. You like that annoying type huh?"
Irvine sat up and glared at him. "She's not annoying and you know that Zell!"
Zell put his hands up and almost laughed at Irvine. Selphie has completely turned him around! He was definitely impressed. "I know that! Selphie is the nicest person I know! I never really thought of her as a girlfriend type, but more of a friend type."
"Maybe for you, but I love her too much to make her as just my friend," Irvine replied, plopping down on his bed with a loud 'thud!'
Zell sighed. "I guess there's no point in arguing with you then." The blond young man stood up and stretched his muscles. How about a game of fooze ball?"
Irvine shook his head. "Can't. I have a mission ten minutes, remember?"
Zell put his arms down. "Oh right. THE mission. What about Selphie?"
"She already knows. I already told her about that. She understands."
THE mission, Zell figured, was not really the biggest mission Irvine, Quistis and Seifer had to take, compared to the Ultimaecia missions or the assasination of Edea mission. There was a new resistant movement in Galbadia with a new leader arising to take power, corrupting people's minds to get what he wants. Headmaster Cid had a feeling that the new leader, known only as 'Master Galbadia,' will attempt to attack Balamb once again, since it was the only Super power left on Earth which was still standing. Master Galbadia was the new Hitler of the twenty first century.
Irvine arose from his bed and stood up, towering Zell ten inches. He took out his gun from his closet and loaded it with bullets. Zell watched him in interest. Even though he was an expertise as a sharp shooter, Irvine Kinneas had weakness on shooting women. Zell felt sympathy for the gunslinger when Irvine had to assasinate Edea. He panicked and failed to do the task. With that done, Irvine slung his shotgun on his shoulder.
"Well, gotta get goin," he said heading for the door.
Zell waved at him. "See ya. Do you know when you'll be back?"
Irvine paused and glanced over his shoulder. He shrugged. "I don't know. Cid thinks it could take a few days until Master Galbadia decides what he plans to do."
Zell nodded and watched him step out of the door and close the door behind him. Zell yawned. He had no idea how tired he was after battling with Irvine in the training centre. He landed on the bed with ease and made his head comfortable on the pillow. It took only a few seconds when Zell finally fell asleep.
****************
Selphie frowned. She had kissed him good bye. A few days? She doesn't know how long she could wait. She waved good bye towards Ragnarok and watched it fade into the horizon. What's a girl to do now? Irvine was gone, so was Seifer and Quistis. Squall can no longer interact with her, since he was busy being the commander of Balamb and Rinoa had to visit her sickly father back in Deling City and Zell..... Selphie's eyes widened. She wondered what Zell was doing. She had nothing to do, maybe she and Zell can hang out or something.
"That's a good idea!" she said to herself, excitedly. Selphie stormed out of the hallway towards the direction of the boys' dorms.
****************
Zell was startled by a knock on the door. He had fallen out of the bed by someone's vigorous knocking. With an annoyed moan, Zell left his comfortable state and opened the door. Selphie stood there with an enormous, and not to mention, irritating smile on her face. She clasped her hands behind her.
"Hey Zelly! Wanna do something?" Selphie watched him carefully as Zell rubbed his eyes tiredly.
He really didn't feel like doing anything, then again, he woke up in a few hours again, he would find himself bored. He would have to get used to Selphie's perkiness. Then again, Selphie did have good ideas on how to be fun. She was always the one trying to organize a get together with all their friends. "I thought you were with Rinoa?" It wasn't an excuse, it wasn't the truth either. Zell did expect her to be with Rinoa, since the two were closer than Rinoa and Quistis. They almost had the same personality.
Selphie frowned. "General Caraway is not feeling well. Rinoa went to go visit him in Deling City."
Zell forgot about that. He looked at her, her green eyes sparkling with hope that he would join her to whatever she was planning to do at this sunny day. Finally, after a few seconds, Zell rolled his eyes in annoyance and nodded. "All right. What do you have in mind?"
Selphie smiled and grabbed his hand. "Great! Come on! I know where to go!" Zell let her drag him through the hallway and out of Balamb Garden. He watched her jump for joy everytime she saw a squirrel run by the as they walked to the gate. Zell rolled his eyes once in awhile. It was like taking a child for a walk in the park.
Author's note: no romance yet though, except for a Selvine! I hope you enjoy! See ya!
