Review Please!

I feel You

By Star Child

The sound of steel-toed boots clicked against the garden floor. He wasn't sure why he was back, he knew he wasn't welcomed, at least by a few people. Seifer Almasy stood in the Garden lobby looking around at all the people. Silently he mused to himself the phone call he had received from Headmaster Cid just last night.

"Seifer, you are welcomed to come back to Garden. I believe in giving people a second chance." That was all Seifer needed to hear. He would come back to Garden, prove himself as a SeeD, most importantly, he had to prove himself to someone important to him. Even if it killed him...again, he would prove himself to her. Pulling his fire cross around him tighter he began his walk to the dormitories, slowly.

~*~They gave me a life that's not so easy to live

And then they sent me on my way

I left my loving, forgot my dreams

I lost them along the way~*~

Taking a deep, and ignoring the looks from the people as he walked passed them. Seifer began to think about her. Sighing deeply he remembered sneaking into her dorm at night just so he could hold her tightly, so they could talk all night about life and their future. It didn't turn out how they wanted it.

~*~Those little things you say

When words mean so much

You never back down

And they all shy away

You always listen to me~*~

The feeling of regret washed over him as he remember how he reacted when she told him that she was in love with him. He choked, he couldn't say it. He never went back into her room, they never spoke again, unless it was him giving her a hard time. His heart pained. Turning down the hallway he was on the homestretch. Would she listen to him?

~*~And what do I care to get me through these sleepless nights

And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight

And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this is I feel and I feel you~*~

Stopping at her doorway he placed his large hand gently on the door. The same doorway that was always unlocked for him.

~*~And this ain't no bitterness

Then I'd rose just the same

Got this road short and can be long

Another endless day, another seven hundred miles that'll take me further from my home~*~

Knocking softly he wondered if this was a mistake. He waited, but no one opened the door. He knocked again, fighting back the tears that were begging to be set free. "No." He whispered. He had to prove it to her. He loved her damnit! He couldn't say it before, but now, now he was ready. "Damnit." Seifer whispered turning around. Now he was face-to-face with a women with crystal blue eyes and long blonde hair.

"Seifer?"

~*~I know what you're going through now

Believe me I live this~*~

She dropped the books in her hand in shock. "Is that...is that you?" She whispered walking up to him, tears falling from her eyes.

"Yes..." When she reached him, Seifer took her hands, bringing them to his face, gently kissing them.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm getting a second chance...Quistis..." He breathed her name. "I...I..."

"Seifer?"

"Quistis...I don't know how to say this but...I...I love-"

"Shhh." She whispered to him. "I know..." Leaning in she kissed his lips in a chaste kiss. Pulling away so slightly.

Seifer took in a deep breath and whispered into her ear. "I feel you, Quistis Trepe."

~*~And what do I care to get me through these sleepless nights

And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight

And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this is I feel and I feel you ~*~
