Mistakes

Seifer Almasy and Squall Leonhart was known as the most heated rivals in garden. They couldn't seem to stand each other. Always fighting and at each other's throats. Seifer was always forever taunting him, trying to get some reaction out of the other man. It has always done the trick, too.

Seifer didn't understand it at first. He just thought he couldn't stand the Ice Princess. He just loved pissing him off, getting him to react to him. Seifer always loved getting reactions from him that no one else could. He never understood why, except for the fact he just wanted to piss him off. He was always known for pissing everyone off.

Even when they were younger and in Matron's orphanage. He would always get under the shorter man's skin. Teasing, taunting, making witty remarks; anything to anger Squall. And, it always seemed to work in his favor, too. Squall would always react to him. Seifer was pleased with the reactions he had gotten from Squall.

Then as they got older, Seifer had begun to realize that all his teasing, taunting and the constant need to get a reaction out of Squall, was more than just a need to get a reaction out of the other man.

He had realized that he always did those things so Squall would notice him. Squall had the tendency to ignore most people. Seifer—well, he didn't like being ignored. Never had. So, Seifer never took this lightly, which is what caused most fights. If there was one thing Seifer Almasy hated, it was being ignored. When Squall would ignore him, he felt Squall didn't care. And, thinking that, that triggered Seifer's anger towards the lithe boy.

Just recently, he had figured his feelings for Leonhart was more than rivalry. It shocked him at first when he came to the realization, but then he had accepted it. There was no denying how he felt towards the other man.

Perhaps, that was what brought him to Leonhart's office. "Leonhart, I need to talk to you."

Squall raised his head at the intrusion into his office, glaring at the man who entered without permission. He stood, arms crossed. "What do you want, Seifer?"

Seifer was unaffected by his cold attitude. Smirking, he strolled over and stood in front of the other man. "Man, you need to liven this place up," Seifer commented, smirking at the glare that was shot his way.

"Get to the point, Almasy. What did you want to talk about?"

Sighing, the tall blond ran a hand through his golden blond hair. "Squall..." How was he suppose to say this? Squall wasn't exactly the type to open up to. He did, however, expect Squall to react badly to this. It was gonna be shock enough with your rival telling you he has feelings for you. This was Squall, his rival. He didn't think this would go over well.

"Well?" came Squall's voice, startling the ex-knight out of his thoughts.

Seifer snapped his head up and faced the object of his affections. "Squall I—there's something I need to tell you." Seifer took a breath and let it out slowly. He was not good with words and this feelings thing. Never had been. Probably why he never opened up to anyone himself. He wasn't any good with telling people his feelings, let alone his rival.

"What?" Squall was curious now. His brows were drawn together in confusion of what his rival wanted to say to him.

Seifer growled lowly. Why was this so difficult for him? Why couldn't he just say it? Finally, after sighing again, he felt that he could get out all he needed to without words. So, with that thought, he stalked forward, confusing the brunet more. That confusion only lasted until he felt a pair of warm lips on his own, emanating a gasp for the shorter man.

Squall felt himself too stunned to react. Then, he closed his eyes and started to respond to the kiss. He couldn't believe this was happening. Here he was, in his office, kissing his rival.

Seifer felt Squall react and felt his lips move against his own. He felt happy. He didn't expect Squall to react. He expected to be pushed away.

Squall, coming to his senses, snapped his eyes open after suddenly realizing what he was doing, and pushed the taller man away from himself.

Seifer was too stunned to do anything but stare at him, confused by this. He has felt Squall respond... right? He let the confusion and hurt show on his handsome face.

"What the hell was that?" Squall finally asked after regaining his composure.

"I believe it's called a kiss, Squally-boy," Seifer replied, rolling his eyes.

"I know what a kiss is, bastard. Why did you do it?"

"I like you, Squall," Seifer finally said, sighing.

Squall's eyes went wide as saucers. Had he just heard that right? Squall stared at him for a moment longer, letting it all process into his mind what Seifer had just did and said to him. "Seifer..."

"Look, Squall, I like you." He walked closer to Squall.

Squall backed up slightly. "Seifer, I can't. I'm with Rinoa," he said sternly.

At this, Seifer glared. "You don't love her."

"I do," Squall said, glaring. His head was all jumbled right now. He was still trying to process all that had just happened.

Seifer was hurt when he said that. "Squall..." The blond man stepped closer to the other man, invading his personal space.

"No, Seifer. You need to leave," Squall narrowed his eyes.

Seifer opened his mouth to say something, but what? What was he suppose to say? He just narrowed his eyes, too. "Fine, Squall." With that being said, Seifer walked out of Squall's office, shutting the door loudly behind him.

When Seifer left his office, Squall sank into his chair. "What the hell just happened?" He was so confused right now; he didn't know what to think. What had he done? He was suppose to be in love with Rinoa right? Then, why had he responded to that kiss? He blamed it on the surprise and the spur of the moment thing. There's no way he could like his rival.
