Waking Up

Pairing: Laguna and Seifer

OK, here's the deal.

This is based on true life events. I believe that if something were funny enough, Seifer would burst out laughing.

Zell's POV:

I wake up this morning...yawn...with purpose. Today Squall and I get to visit Laguna and Seifer for dinner and movie night. HOORAY! I need to call them to make sure it's still on for this afternoon, and then I need to call Squall to find out what time to pick him up. Hmmm...I should drag my lazy butt out of bed and relieve my poor bladder. BUT FIRST I will call Seifer. I pick up my cell phone and dial his number.

RIIIING! RIIIING!

Click. Miscellaneous rustling of fabric and then:

Hysterical laughter.

Now my mind stopped all thought processes for one thought: What the hell? I begin chuckling confused at this odd way of answering the phone.

Seifer is still laughing hysterically but I think he's trying to tell me something.

"Hello?" More hysterical laughter. Now there's deep breathing of someone trying to stop laughing coming through the phone; it almost sounds obscene.

"Zell let me call you back in 5 minutes."

"Sure." As I wait for Seifer to hang up, the frenzied laughter returns and then silence.

That was strange; I wonder what caused him to laugh like that. I took this five minute break to go to the bathroom. (Looks in his mirror at himself) My hair's getting to bloody long, almost time to cut it. (Picks up tube of gel and realizes it's empty) Oh Fuck ME! What is the world coming to when I run out of gel? What is my hair supposed to do? LAY THERE? (Begins to hyperventilate) Distantly, I hear the One Winged Angel playing. Oh snap, that my phone. I take off sprinting to my bed which is where I left my phone. Bad idea. I don't see the large wall I have to run around. I almost clear it except my left foot. I make it to my room limping like I just stepped in a pile of dog crap (which would have been better because it would hurt much less) and answer.

"Hello." I try to sound cheerful.

"Hello!" Seifer is speaking normally again.

"Hey Seifer. Question: What was so funny when I called a few minutes ago?"

I can hear the smirk and chuckle which is a vast improvement from the maniac laugher before.

"Yeah, I had woken up about 20 minutes ago and was watching a bit of TV. I had just turned the volume down and set the remote on my chest. Well moments before you called, Laguna woke up and was getting out of bed. I picked up the phone as he was crawling over me. He bent down to kiss me on the chest but he got the remote instead. He reared back to see what he kissed and lost his balance and fell off the bed. He got embarrassed and ran to the bathroom. MAN he was red. You should have seen his face when he kissed the remote. Classic."

Now it was my turn to laugh. "Remind me later to tease him about it. He seems to always tease me about something; today, it's my turn." I manage the most evil laugh I could summon.

Seifer chuckles at my evil plot. "So what'd you need?"

What did I need? Why did call in the first place? I have no idea. Oh yeah.

"Are we still on for today?"

"Yep. Laguna's cooking on the grill because he knows you love his sausages, no pun intended."

"Fuck you. Well let me let you go, I've got more stuff to do before I leave. Talk to you later."

"Yeah, See you at 3ish.

"Ok later"

"Later."

Today is turning out good.
