Crowded was an understatement at how full this party was. It was spread within the entire house and the front and back gardens. Bodies were pressed together, some in dance and others on trying to cross through the dance floor to get to the drinks. The music was blasting to a near deafening tone, drinks being spilled from drunken hands and cigarette smoke lingered in the air.
This was Fuu's Birthday party it had started small with the disciplinary committee and a few other friends of Fuu, but as the night wore on some more students had arrived when they heard from text or calls from their acquaintances how good the party was becoming when more and more friends were showing up.
Hayner held a fag in one hand and a cup of whatever he was given in the other. Roxas was trying to say above the music but couldn't shout loud enough to be heard by the blonde.
Hayner leaned a bit closer but still looked confused at him and shrugged not being able to hear him. In the end Roxas frowned and pointed over at the red head in the corner of the room, Roxas smirked and imitated him snogging someone.
Hayner laughed a little and nodded watching the blonde dance his way through the crowd and to the red head, Roxas motioned something to the tall red head and rolled his hips. Within moments the Roxas and the red head who Hayner recalled was called Axel were entwined.
Hayner noticed that Axel had been stood talking to Seifer moment before and the blonde now made his way toward Hayner, he went to the table Hayner was stood next to and poured himself a drink, Hayner looked at the beanie wearing boy remembering their previous encounter a few weeks ago.
"Fucking stupid Lamer!" Seifer spat as Hayner landed a punch on Seifer's face
"too fucking slow Seifer" Hayner said proudly as he bounced out of reach momentarily before Seifer lunged at him taking him down to the floor.
Hayner hit his head hard against the padded mat in the arena letting out a grunt as the weight above him rested mainly on his chest. Hayner and Seifer were looking at one another. Seifer's ocean blue eyes locked in Hayner's dark brown ones, they were inches from each other's faces.
Hayner tried to get up but Seifer didn't move quickly enough and their lips pushed together roughly. Neither of them moved for a considerable amount of time, each moving their lips slowly against the others, it was rough and hurt but the amount of time changed everything. Quickly after both parties retreated acknowledging neither had won.
"What are you staring at Chicken-wuss." Seifer was staring into Hayner's eyes. He came back to realisation and looked Seifer up and down
"A macho ass-hole" Hayner smirked to himself and continued drinking, looking into the crowd of dancers trying to pick his friends out. Seifer was about to grab the blonde when he was suddenly gripped by a red haired girl
"SEIFER!" she shouted above the music making a few people around her look
"LET'S GO." She pointed to her group of friends but Seifer objected. He knew he'd only have to listen to them rant about what people wore to the party and what people had said.
The girl, Kairi gave him a stern look and motioned for him to call her when he got home
"see you're having trouble with the ladies" Hayner said smugly watching as kiari glared back at the blonde
"Don't see you with any fucking ladies though do we Lamer" Seifer motioned around them but Hayner just looked away taking another drag of his cigarette.
Seifer just muttered something to himself before disappearing back into the crowd.
A few hours later Hayner woke up in the upstairs bathroom, he had been asleep in the bath. He squinted and looked around the room, there was someone passed out on the floor. He examined the person and registered that it was Fuu. Hayner got out of the bath and put her into the recovery position so she wouldn't choke and die in her sleep if she threw up, he almost fell a few times but the wall was there to support him.
He made his way out of the bathroom and looked down the hall, there were still people drinking but a majority were passed out or being helped up by friends. Hayner was pulled quite violently into a dark room opposite the bathroom. He put his hands out in panic and began to feel around
"Hey!" Hayner shouted into the darkness, that's when he felt the warm hands against his back, he turned to be met with a body slightly bigger than his own. He felt over it, the torso was toned and well built. Hayner's hands moved up the person in front of him.
His eyes went wide when he felt the scar on the person's forehead and he beanie that Hayner proceeded to pull off
"Seifer?" Hayner asked squinting in the dark
"shhh-"Seifer pushed his body against Hayner's
"Shut the fuck up" Hayner was thrown down onto a bed. It was soft and spacious and it smelt of a flowery perfume.
Seifer climbed over Hayner and straddled him on the bed so he couldn't move. He lent down to work on Hayner's body. Seifer was ready; his dick throbbing at the thought of just having sex. He moved his Hands over Hayner's body undressing him until he was nude like Seifer. He kissed down Hayner's jaw line and to his neck, biting and kissing him.
"on your knees Lamir." Seifer swayed a little before regaining balance as the mattress moved from the shift of weight. Hayner had complied with the request and braced himself, one hand holding the bed post and the other gripping a pillow.
Seifer positioned his dick against Hayner's entrance and began to push in. Hayner yelped a little in pain but once Seifer started going to pain started to become less of a bother to him.
"S-" Hayner bit his lip before letting his mouth hang open, on words coming from it. Seifer shuddered and then sped himself up, enjoying every moment with Hayner
"SEIFER!" Hayner gripped the sheets as Seifer found that sweet spot. Seifer hit it over and over until Hayner finally came over the sheets beneath him and when Seifer was ready he pulled out and released onto Hayner's back. Both collapsed onto the sheets together, neither saying a word.
_
Hayner awoke his head pounding hard; he rubbed his brow and pulled the pink duvet off of himself. He noted that Seifer was long gone and proceeded to pull his clothes on and tied his now hard and dis-shaped hair into a small pony tail. Hayner looked around the room, there was a nice bouquet of flowers on the dresser draws with a photo in a frame. It was of Fuu, Seifer and Rai when they were mere children, Hayner smiled slightly but quickly pulled his jacket on when he realised Seifer's beanie on the floor. Hayner shoved it into his pocket and made his way into the hallway.
There were a few people left in the house passed out, lying in puke or what seemed to be spilt drinks. At least that is what Hayner hoped it was; he made his way downstairs. He had to literally climb over some people on his way down. He saw Fuu stood in the front room in her night gown a black bag in her hand. She was throwing away paper cups and plates but she was getting nowhere, Hayner sighed and straightened his appearance up a bit
"need some help?" He walked toward her offering his hand.
Fuu stared Hayner for a second surprised he was still here
"where's Rai?" Hayner began to shovel things into the black bag
"Work." She shook the bag a bit, getting the rubbish to fill the bottom
"what about everyone else?" Hayner looked around for his friends
"Drunk, went home. Went and had sex." She looked away momentarily
"after party?" she looked into Hayner's eyes
"need to change my bed." She glared a little and Hayner stared for a moment
"I'll do it" he smiled nervously, slightly embarrassed
"I know." She spoke and as Hayner scooped some more into the bag she spoke again
"Too bad though. . . I like you more than her." Hayner looked up into Fuu's dark red eyes knowing who she was talking about; he just stared at her for a moment before continuing with the trash.
_
When Hayner awoke on the Monday morning he had to force himself out of his bed and into the shower, he proceeded to make himself presentable and sprayed himself until he was comfortable with the strength of his smell. Hayner pulled on his black trousers and his white shirt on, he was wearing a long sleeved black top underneath the shirt as he was not comfortable with just the shirt as the white was slightly see-through. He then did his tie, he then pulled his green coat on. He pulled his army boots on and picked up his back pack before rolling a fag and making his way downstairs, he was limping a bit from the party for obvious reasons but he hoped no one would mention it. P.s. can you make sure you take the rubbish to the curb, thank you x"
The front room and kitchen was spotless, Hayner walked into the kitchen.
On the side there was a see through lunch box filled with sandwiches and other bits along with a note on the side which was held to the side with 5 munny in coins.
Hayner shoved the munny into his pocket and put his lunch in his bag before reading the note, it read
"Hayner,
Myself and your father have gone to the church for early prayer. We won't be back until 8pm as your father is taking me out for dinner; I have left another 20 munny in the sugar tin for you to get yourself and Roxas a pizza for dinner.
See you later honey, Love you x x
Hayner smiled a little and folded the note neatly before putting it in his pocket. He made his way outside, locking the door behind him. He grabbed the bin from the alley leading into the back garden and proceeded to pull it to the front of the house. As he pulled the bin a voice startled him slightly
"what's wrong lamer, too heavy for you" the comment was followed by a few laughs and when Hayner turned to see already knowing who it was he was met by six teens all wearing the twilight town school uniform. It was Seifer accompanied by Rai, Fuu, Kairi, Larxene and a quiet girl who Hayner was friendly with, Namine.
Hayner stared at them all for a moment, looking them up and down. He smiled at Fuu whose lips slightly twitched up, both Seifer and Rai clocked it and began to move on quickly. Hayner looked down the road and saw Roxas walking with Axel, the red head from the other night. Axel usually walked with Seifer but he had broken away to be with Roxas
"Hey!" Hayner waved in their direction making a few other Seifer's posse look back momentarily
"Hey dude!" Roxas waved frantically as they got closer.
Hayner pulled the fag from his tin and lit it, offering axel a fag which he took
"lost you at the party the other night, where'd you go?" Roxas looked at the blonde
"I passed out in the bath tub" Hayner chuckled, deciding not to recall his night with Seifer. Roxas just laughed and continued onto school letting the other two smoke in silence.
Hayner found it hard to pay attention at school, they whole day was just dragging on it wasn't until 5th period that Hayner suddenly became energetic. It was P.E, the last lesson of the day until Hayner and Roxas could go back to his and eat pizza.
In the locker room Hayner changed into his white gym shirt and his jogging bottoms, he felt eyes on him thou and when he looked round he saw those deep ocean blue ones. He looked away and continued getting changed.
Once the boys group was outside with the girls they were instructed by the teacher to pair up, boy-girl for the activities they had in mind for today. They were going to be competing for a prize, Hayner chuckled and looked to the blue sky momentarily, it reminded him of those eyes.
Hayner looked around as everyone flailed to get to a partner. That's when he saw Fuu, she was alone seeing as Rai wasn't in this class Hayner walked over to her, his hands in his pockets. She was staring in the distance; Hayner looked to see Seifer paired up with Kairi. He could tell Fuu felt upset that her friend had abandoned her
"Fuu" Hayner spoke softly
"Yes." She said hopefully, caught off guard
"want to be my partner?" Hayner asked, smiling brightly
"Yes. Please" She moved slightly closer to him and looked to the teacher. Hayner looked at her for a moment feeling slightly sorry for her before asking
"what are you and Rai doing tonight?" he looked to her as the teacher was still helping people partner up
"we're um. . ." she thought for a moment
"nothing. Just going to sit at home." She looked at Hayner, her one red eye looking into his brown ones
"you guys wanna maybe come to mine? I'm having Roxas and most probably Axel round for Pizza and games if you both wanna come?" Fuu looked a bit taken back but nodded
"I will speak to Rai later and I will come to yours with him. We will bring soda." She nodded and stopped speaking so that the teacher could.
"Okay today we're going to do team vs team today" the teacher said proudly as he pointed to the range of equipment and apparatus behind him on the field.
"You'll be going against each other and the last team standing will get the prize!"
The teacher smirked and looked into the crowd
"Girls first task, carry your male team mate to the finish line at the end of the field, first fifteen to make it go to the next round" there was silence for a moment
"GO!" Everyone panicked for a moment and then Hayner looked to Fuu who was ready.
Hayner climbed onto her back, she was much stronger than she looked. They were first out onto the field
"Holy crap!" Hayner held on slightly tighter as her small body ran quickly toward the finish line. Hayner looked back to see a lot of the girls struggle with the weight of their partner.
Fuu and Hayner were first across the line and they waited for the next fourteen to cross the line, once the fifteen were done they were moved to the next bit of the trial and the fifteen went down to five and then three and finally there were two left, Hayner and Fuu and Seifer and Kairi.
"Okay girls, get on your partners soldiers." They were already stood on a platform that was above a muddy puddle that looked quite deep. Fuu climbed onto Hayner's soldiers with his help. She was given a foam pole, as was Kairi
"last ones standing win!" the other students were cheering names
"ready. . . Set" Hayner braced himself and held Fuu's legs
"GO!" Kairi swung out violently making Hayner stumble back a bit and grip onto Fuu a little tighter as she felt her body flail a little.
Seifer noticed Hayner was distracted and swiped for his legs making Kairi yelp from the sudden unbalance
"Fucking cheater." Hayner glared at the Seifer, Hayner could feel the girls going at it above him, that's when he felt a sudden pain in his rib, it was Fuu was trying to stay on. That's when Seifer moved closer to Hayner and smirked as Kairi really went for Fuu, pushing her off Hayner's shoulders. Hayner grabbed her and they fell together into the puddle, Hayner made sure he fell first and was under Fuu so that she wouldn't hurt herself on the way down or get her kit dirty
"the winners are Seifer and Kairi" the teacher sang.
Both Hayner and Fuu glared up at them,
"Good try." Fuu spoke helping Hayner up
"it was" Hayner laughed a little trying to brush some of the mud off of himself
"So, see you at 5?" Hayner asked making Seifer look down at the two, he frowned and just dropped Kairi down onto the platform before walking off the platform carefully still listening to the two. Fuu looked at her friend walk away and nodded
"Yes." She spoke.
Hayner looked over at Kairi who was now shouting after her boyfriend for putting her down so hard, Hayner smirked and watched the blonde as he walked away, noting Seifer's ass looked good in jogging bottoms.
Once they were back in the changing room both Roxas and Hayner got into the shower and began to wash themselves down
"Well, you and Fuu made a good team Hay" Roxas stated simply
"Yeah, she's really strong" Hayner laughed a bit and grabbed his towel
"Oh yeah her and Rai are coming over tonight as well" Hayner spoke as they made their way out of the showers
"Axel coming as well?" Hayner asked as he dried himself
"yeah if that's cool" Roxas smiled and began to dry himself.
Seifer was opposite them on the benches and grimaced as the two talked about their plans, he would be talking with his friends about this.
_
"Fuu I can't believe you. You're Friends with him." Seifer crossed his arms in annoyance as both his friends clicked their seat belts in and looked at one another humorously knowing how jealous Seifer was getting
"He's ok." Fuu answered as she started the car
"You're not going round?!" Seifer looked slightly hurt by the thought
"no." Fuu began to drive out of the school
"We're not gunna go Seifer, cause it would hurt your feelings Ya'know?" Rai added before turning his attention back to the road
"good." Seifer answered, thinking to himself about that stupid fucking lamer.
Hayner soon got a text from Fuu informing him that she and Rai would not be able to make it to his; Hayner figured it was because of Seifer but simply said it was okay and maybe another time. It ended up being just Hayner and Roxas like always as Axel had to help his mother with something and bailed as well. Hayner and Roxas ordered in their favourite pizza which was meat feast and walked to the local shop to get a twelve pack of sea salt ice creams, which left both boys stuffed.
They played games all evening until Hayner's parents arrived home, that's when Roxas and Hayner were sent to bed by Hayner's mother who worried they wouldn't get up in the morning for school.
The next morning was the same, Hayner awoke next to Roxas, had his shower and got dressed. He then jumped on Roxas who was still asleep in Hayner's bed
"GET UP!" Hayner yelled frantically making Roxas jump out of his skin.
Hayner waited as Roxas got dressed and both blondes made their way down stairs. Hayner's mother and father were gone again but left the boys 5 munny each so they could get some lunch.
Hayner made Roxas a piece of Jam toast and they left the house promptly. They got to the corner of the road and they were met by Seifer and his posse. Hayner locked eyes with the blonde and then gave a friendly smile to Fuu who put her hand up as a gesture.
Roxas saw Axel down the road and looked to Hayner who nodded in approval, Roxas ran down the road to the red head leaving Hayner to walk on his own.
Hayner put his hands in his pockets and began to walk slightly ahead of the gang; he began to feel eyes burning into the back of his head and decided to take the long way through the sand lot. Hayner stopped looked left then right, letting a car pass before walking quickly across the road and going down an alleyway.
Seifer watched and broke off from the gang telling them to go on without him. He went down the alleyway, looking for Hayner who was sat behind all of the struggle equipment having a fag. Hayner knew he'd follow him
"Nice try." Seifer grabbed Hayner by his arm and dragged him out
"What the fuck!" Hayner pulled away from the blonde
"Stop with the looks Chicken-Wuss." Seifer glared at him
"I'm sick of you always looking at me like you do, like you're fascinated. You're making me feel . . .funny. It's fucking Gay." Hayner swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat
"I-I don't know what you're talking abou-"
"Yes you do." Seifer pushed Hayner down onto the floor
Hayner looked scared, not like he usually did. He was scared not just because of Seifer's violence but because these words were hurting his chest.
Hayner stood and brushed himself off, he wouldn't look at Seifer who was now getting angry, Hayner got so frustrated that he did what came natural with the two. He threw a punch but missed
"Seifer, I-"that was when Hayner was punched in the face, the pain was all in his eye
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Hayner looked up at him and threw a punch at Seifer again; Hayner missed again and was just thrown into the wall behind Seifer. Hayner just stayed there right up against the wall, his eye was starting to swell and Seifer had popped a blood vessel in it so there was a horrible smear of blood in the white of his eye. Hayner made a horrible noise and put both his hands on the wall. Seifer frowned and started to walk toward the blonde
"Hayner. . ." Seifer just stood there and stared, frowning.
Hayner swallowed and looked down at where the pain was coming from, a struggle bat hook that was protruding from the wall had made its way into Hayner's abdomen from the force of Hayner falling against it
"Please just go" Hayner let a slight whimper out, hoping Seifer hadn't registered it
"NOW!" Hayner pulled away from the hook a bit, some blood trickled from the wound staining his shirt. He pulled himself off of it completely and inspected his stomach; it wasn't that serious but had gone quite deep. Hayner pulled his t-shirt over it and held his hand against it applying pressure.
Hayner looked over his shoulder, Seifer was still there so Hayner just turned and looked at him for a moment before trying to walk away as quickly as he could, once he was out of sight he stumbled a bit and made his way back to his house as quickly as he could.
Hayner got his keys out and fumbled dropping them twice before getting them in the door and walking in. Hayner threw his bag to the floor and struggled out of his coat and school shirt before making his way to the kitchen and in the process of pulling the medical kit out of the cupboard he sat onto the floor rummaging through it. He pulled his black t-hirt off with difficulty and threw it aside. Hayner looked down at himself, there were dark bruises along with healing cuts from previous encounters with Seifer and then there was this fresh wound that was bleeding quite badly. Hayner pulled his hand away and inspected for a moment before pulling his hand back over it. He sighed and started to cry not just because of his stomach but also because of what Seifer had said to him.
After some time crying Hayner was able to clean the wound and proceed to get a needle and thread and sew it together. He had to hold back and sound of pain or cries so the neighbours wouldn't hear and tell his parents. Once he was done he put his bloody black t-shirt and school shirt into a black bag and put them inside his school bag. He put a new under shirt on and got a new school shirt from his draw. He made himself a cigarette and pulled his bag onto his back, he winced in pain and proceeded to take some pain killers before making his way out of the door and locking it again. He looked at his watch, 11:46am.
He lit his cigarette and started to walk to school trying to remain as normal as he could.
When he finally arrived at school he had to rush to the next class of the day. Hayner knocked on the class room door and waited for the teacher to answer
"Sorry I'm late miss" He handed her a note in his mother's hand writing that stated Hayner was at the doctor. Over the years Hayner had gotten good at mimicking his mother's hand writing, the teacher nodded and allowed him into the class.
Hayner looked pale and was walking slightly slower than usual, he sighed under his breath as he had to sit next to Seifer who was staring right at him, waiting for Hayner to stare back which he didn't.
It was a two hour lesson which was agonising for Hayner whose painkillers were wearing off. Hayner tried to concentrate but then they were given a partner exercise. Hayner took the work sheet from the teacher as she walked around handing them out, Hayner put it between himself and Seifer. He began to work out the problems. Hayner breath hitched a few times making Seifer look up for a second each time. Seifer realised every other group was talking, Seifer lent in and spoke
"are you okay." Seifer felt so weird asking it, Hayner didn't look at him he just nodded.
Seifer frowned at how Hayner batted his worry away.
"Lamer. Don't lie to me." Seifer grabbed Hayner's arm lightly as not to hurt him anymore, that's when Hayner looked at him. Hayner's eye was coloured with blood and the skin around it was beginning to turn yellow and purple.
Seifer frowned and when he went to speak again he was interrupted
"baby why are you speaking to that lamer. Come work with us" Kairi looked Hayner's back up and down before looking at Seifer who looked at Hayner and then turned his chair round to work with Kairi, regretting it as he did.
Hayner just stared down at his book and swallowed the sadness inside of him before continuing with his work knowing Seifer would only copy it once Kairi had stopped bitching to him.
The bell went and the class was finally over Hayner tried to leave quickly but Fuu stopped him and gave him a note which he shoved into his pocket. He then got out of there quickly, making his way to the boy's bathroom. He locked himself in a stall and put his bag on the floor, he pulled some pain killers and a bottle of juice out of his bag, he took a few before putting the pills and juice away and lifting his shirt, it was weeping so Hayner dabbed it with some tissue and pulled his t-shirt down slowly. Hayner stared for a moment then locked the door, put the toilet lid down and sat on it. He looked at the note he was given earlier
"We need to talk about shit. My address is No.8 fantasy drive
Meet me at mine at 6pm tonight.
If you don't show I'll know that these signals are all in my head.
it's near Squall Inn and there is a white BMX in the garden - Seifer"
Hayner was so confused. Did he have feeling for Seifer. . . Really?! Yeah they had a few encounters and they had fucked but did it really mean anything. Hayner sat in the cubical for most of lunch before making his way out to the smoker's corner at the end of the field. By the time he got to the smoking corner there were two Goth kids and left smoking. Hayner quickly sparked up but when he pulled his lighter out of his coat pocket Seifer's beanie fell out with it. Hayner stared at it on the floor for a while before picking it up and putting it on momentarily before feeling stupid and shoving it back into the pocket it came from.
Hayner sat at home after school in his room just thinking, he looked over at the clock. It was 5:30pm and Hayner had to make his decision now. He pushed himself up and walked over to the mirror, pain shooting up his stomach. He looked at himself and frowned before grabbing his coat and Seifer's letter.
"Mum! I'm going out to a friends, I'll call you later about when I'll be home!"
"Okay honey!" his mother shouted back as Hayner walked out of the door.
Hayner walked as fast as he could to The Squall Inn and made his way down Fantasy Drive. He stood outside Seifer's house for a few minutes wondering if he should knock or not, he was so nervous and confused. He was just finishing his fag and finally got enough courage but then He saw a familiar red head walking down the street toward the house. Hayner quickly crossed the road and stood watching the house as she knocked the door confidently. Seifer answered and looked really surprised at the girl, they shared a few words and he let her in. Seifer then looked up and down the road frowning until he saw Hayner stood across the road, Hayner took another puff from his fag as their eyes locked. He nodded and put his hand up not knowing what else to do, Seifer's eyes became slightly calmer and he put his hand up motioning that he's be five minutes, Hayner shook his head and motioned he was going but the blue eyes insisted.
Hayner waited and waited. It was getting on for half an hour and Hayner's stomach was beginning to hurt and his patience was wearing thin. Hayner looked at his watch and had to put his hood up when it began to rain. He sat there for another half hour before he had finally had enough; he looked up at the house to see Seifer in the window talking to someone. Hayner felt his chest tug and when he saw Kairi emerge, he knew it was time to go, he had made a fool out of himself and it was time to go home. Seifer looked down at Hayner when Kairi wasn't looking and motioned for five minutes again but Hayner flipped him off and started on his way home. The rain helped cover the fact he was crying but it still hurt that he was so stupid, Seifer had a girlfriend and Hayner had no place there.
