Chapter 1

Squall's eyes started to focus, he felt the ice cold pain still hitting his heart. He knew damn well he wasn't getting out of this one alive. Only yesterday he was involved in the attempted assassination of Sorceress Edea, and now he was stood in what could only be described as a torture room. His hands were tied above him, and coming out of his unconscious state, his legs felt like jelly.

He knew this was the end now, as his mind went over everything he'd ever done in his life. He wasn't the most social butterfly out there, but there were many things he had not accomplished within his life. And there was that one person he held close to his heart, the one person that if knew would tease and bully him for his feelings. He'd felt this way for some time now, he had fallen in love with his rival. He knew it wasn't normal to feel this way for Seifer, he had never spoke about it with anyone else. But he couldn't help but want the man, in all his muscular glory. Everything about him was perfect to Squall. Yes, he was his rival, but that didn't change the brunette's feelings.

He was snapped out of his wandering mind when he heard that voice. Was he hearing things? It couldn't be, he was with the Sorceress yesterday. Why would he be here?

"How much longer until the procedure, soldier?" That voice spoke again. Squall felt his legs going to mush all over again..

"Exactly one hour sir."

"Very well." Squall heard dulled footsteps coming closer. "Leave me with him, I have my own interrogation to do."

With that, another sound faded away from him, and he heard what sounded like a very heavy door being shut.

Without warning, his face was grabbed at the chin by a strong hand. It lifted his head up. Determined jade eyes held the gaze of Squall's clouded greys. "We meet again Puberty-boy." Seifer squeezed his jaw hard. Squall could not retaliate. All he wanted was to embrace Seifer with his whole body.

Seifer noted the intense look in Leonhart's eyes. "Why the fuck are you looking at me like that?" Squall moved his gaze to the floor.

Seifer was pissed now. Why couldn't the Ice Prince ever answer a simple fucking question. Actions speak louder and all that malarky. Bullshit.

He walked round Squall, studying the curves the younger man had to offer. It was his chance to admire him fully, before the others would come and do things to him that he could not even comprehend.

Seifer stood behind Squall whilst smoothly placing an arm around the brunette, gently pulling him back into his chest. His mouth found Squall's ear. "I asked you a question, kitten." His voice was needy.

Squall felt he could have died right then. He was being held by his rival, but he had the embarassment of answering him. He continued to study the floor in front of him.

He felt the arm of the blonde release grip from his torso, seeing his feet walking around to place himself directly in front of Squall. Squall didn't need the hand to lift his head up this time. His steel eyes bore directly into the jade globes of his rival. He sighed just looking at Seifer. "I'm admiring you" came the response Seifer had been waiting for.

"Admiring me? What the fuck Leonhart?" Seifer couldn't take the boys words as gospel. His words were angry. Why was Squall taking the piss out of him? He was the sorceress' knight, not some kid to be messed about with anymore.

"Hyne Seifer, do I need to reiterate?" Squall bit back the angry tone so much his voice sounded more lust-filled, his eyes opened wider, still gazing up into Seifer's angry jades.

"Kid, you've got some nerve. I am not somone to be toiled with." Squall nodded his agreement and threw his head back whilst closing his eyes.

"Seifer..." It came out barely audible, but he had heard it all the same. If he didn't know any better, he'd think his kitten was revealing something. He stopped and stared at Leonhart. Basking in his presence was something Seifer enjoyed, although he was not one to admit it.

The heavy door opening startled both of them. Squall opened his eyes to see the soldier moving towards them. He didn't care about what was about to happen. All that mattered was that he had spent that short time with Seifer, who had held him gently. It sent shivers down his spine recalling it.

Seifer glanced at Squall and saw a shiver arching his rivals back. His eyes were closed, Hyne he looked so good. Looking back at the soldier, he made his way out of the room. "Soldier, inform me before the procedure starts, I need to be here." His voice was angry, the soldier knew better than to go against the knights wishes. Squall took one more glance, watching his rival's backside as he strolled out.

A/N: This is my first fic, so all reviews are more than appreciated. I didn't get a beta for this one. But if anyone wants to beta the future chapters, please do inform me! It's going to be a fairly longish story, not just a one-shot. Reviews and cookies for all! And don't worry, there will be Squifer-ness to come soon!
