Preface To The Unknown 3

By Seifer's Gurl

"Well?" Seifer asked as Squall and Quistis exited the Quad. " What's the verdict?" Squalll responded to Seifer's questions with a blank stare, took Rinoa's hand and turned to walk down the corridor, leaving Seifer and Quistis alone. "Ouch!" Seifer said sarcastically. "So, how good was your convincing Quistis?"

"Not good at all," Quistis began with her head down. "You know how Squall is. Stubborn, pigheaded, unreasonable. He just wouldn't budge. I'm sorry Seifer. . ."

"WHAT? What a jerk! I can't believe he wouldn't even hear you out. If can't return to garden, how am I suppose to be with. . ." Seifer trailed off noticing Quistis smiling. Lucky enough for him Quistis wasn't paying attention to the end of his sentence because she was so excited to tell him the good news.

"I'm just joking Seifer!!! You can come back to garden! Tonight. I even got Raijin and Fujin in too!" Quistis beamed.

"That is so. . .Quistis, you are the best, convincing Squall to let me back in. . .I can't even think of a good way to thank you."

"A simple thank you and a hug will do" Quistis replied. Seifer embraced the blonde instructor. As he held her, he felt a spark of something, he wasn't sure what it was, but he thought that it may be love. He always felt this incredible feeling of warmth whenever she was around not to mention his stomach always tied up in thousands of knots-which is saying a lot, Seifer Almasy never gets nervous. Whatever this feeling was, Quistis was feeling it too. She felt the same warmth, but more. To her this embrace was the completion that her life lacked. She had always felt like she was missing something in her life, many people would kill for her life. A child prodigy, SeeD at 14, intelligent, beautiful, kind and a kick ass fighter, but Quistis always wanted more. Could this feeling be what had been missing in her life? And if so, with Seifer?!?!?

Quistis began to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed having thoughts, worried that Seifer may be having them too so she began to pull away from the embrace. Seifer, was not going to allow this feeling to end. Quistis wasn't the only one who had been alone all her life, he craved belonging just like her. Instead of releasing her, he bent his head and kissed her. Quistis' lips remained frozen in shock from Seifer's lips on hers. As she came back to reality, she wrapped her arms around Seifer's neck. Seifer, encouraged by her responsiveness, deepened the kiss. Quistis pulled closer to him, as Seifer began to kiss her neck. As she opened her eyes she saw Rinoa, staring at them from the end of the hall.

"Rinoa?" Quistis said as she pulled away from Seifer. "Rinoa it's not what it looks like. . ."Quistis began, but Rinoa wasn't looking at her, she was looking directly into Seifer's eyes. Quistis saw a what appeared to be betrayal in Rinoa's eyes and a look mixed with compassion and apathy in Seifer's. Before she could say anything, Rinoa raced out of the corridor towards the dorms. Seifer, looked at Quistis with a look she couldn't quite decipher and ran after Rinoa. Quistis was once again left alone and confused.

Author's note: Wasn't much, but I wanted to start to develop some kind of relationship with Quistis and Seifer. You'll make my day if you review my story, seriously. The more people that review, it the more eager I am to continue it! Review it more than once. I'll take one word reviews, I'd prefer more, but beggars can't be choosers!! Thanks! NOW REVIEW!!!!
