A/N: HEY EVERYONE! I really hope you guys like this. Whether you do or don't make sure you let me know by presses the magical review button :) The more reviews the better
The people flooded the cafeteria, random conversations are heard filling the large room. A rather large crowd gather by the schools hot,new couple, Seifer and Zell. The are both full of smiles and happiness. the lunch period goes as all the others have, loaded with jokes and 'hellos', some from people the do not even know. Since the defeat of the Sorceress Zell's life has revolved more around fashion and popularity then anything. Seifer has just tried to be kind and happy. The whole group, Seifer, Zell, Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie, and even Squall, all seem to best friends. They may only be held together by money and friends, but that is all they need to get along.
Zell and Seifer walk hand in hand to class and even sit next to each other in class. The pair are everyone's idea of a perfect couple. Seifer some how talked one of the head honchos into letting him and Zell share a room. Every night they watch a movie together before snuggling up in the bed. Zell hadn't allowed the sexual part of their relationship take flight yet, because he felt it was not the right time for it. To sum it all up they were perfect...or so that is what it seemed. Seifer has walked in on Zell with a razor to his arm on more then one occasion, but Zell kept his mask up. Zell convinced Seifer that it was not a big deal, and no one needed to know.
Zell woke up every morning made sure his hair, his clothes, and even his smile was perfect. He simply made sure that he was perfect, but in all reality he was miserable. Now his only hope rests in Seifer. Zell knew how much Seifer loved him, and how much he loved Seifer, he wouldn't take that away from him. The only thing that would interfere with that is Zell's cutting...so he promised himself that it would end. Excluding a few "slip ups" breaking his habit was accomplished.
With the garden's concert quickly approaching Zell spent all of his free time practicing on his electric guitar.
"Zell babe, whatcha doin' tonight?"
"You know I have to Practice..."
"But you practiced last night!"
"Siefer the band needs me!"
"Can't you just stay with me for one night...just the two of us?"
"What are you jealous? You can't handle all the attention that I am getting...for once?"
"Zell you know that's not it I just..." Zell cuts him off,
"SHUT UP!" Seifer doesn't just take it and retaliates,
"Fuck off Zell...Since this concert started you've been a bitch...I'm going to the training center you'd better ship up or get the hell out!" With that Seifer grabs his things and leaves.
"Whiney bitch," Zell mutters under his breath. Zell also gathers his things and heads for rehearsal.
Deep within the training center Seifer forgets the number 1 rules of battle, 'Don't fight out of anger or you will fail." Seifer easily takes out some mutant plants and giant rats, and he hears a roar. A T-rex must be close. Seifer decides to go for it and charges. He seems to have in under control until he thinks back to Zell yelling at him. He puts all his strength into one swing and misses, he falls onto his face. Next thing he knows the beast has him. He can feel his body being mauled, but there is nothing he can do to stop him. A giant mosquito lands on Dinosaur, and tries to get dinner. The T-rex drops Seifer and tried to get the bug off of him. Seifer's human will to live pulls him into some underbrush, where he is safe. After what seemed like an eternity another SEED discovers Seifer, and rushes to get him help.
Word quickly gets to Zell about it, and he drops everything and runs all the way to the medical wing.
"Oh Seifer...this is all my fault..."Zell cries onto his unconscious lover.
"I won't lie to my self anymore...I will be who I really am like you want me too..."
Several days later, Zell is getting ready for the concert. He decided Seifer would want him to go through with it, so he slides into a pair of tight leather pants, a completely fishnet shirt, and a spiked black collar with chains hanging from it. He leaves his hair down and ruffles it up, deep inside he has always wanted to keep his hair like this. He laces up his black sneakers and walks from the dressing room onto the stage for his opening solo. As he walks onto the stage the crowd goes wild, but they are quickly silenced by what they see their 'idol' wearing. Some people in the crowd mutter things like 'freak' or 'loser', but Zell just starts playing. His first strum makes an erie note, and it echoes the auditorium. Murmurs say that the crowd wasn't liking this change. Zell continues to play his song, and the rest of the band walked onto the stage and joined in. Zell's "friends" are in as much shock as the audience.
"Zell? What the hell is the matter with you?" Zell ignores Squalls question, and just plays louder. Once the song is completed the fans reaction stays the same...astonished...no applause.
Once backstage the group surrounds Zell, they are all obviously pissed off.
"What the fuck did you go out and do that for?"
"Back off Squall." Squall turns red and pushes Zell into the wall. Zell slides down and sits on the floor. Rinoa spits on him as the group walks away. After Zell brings himself to his feet he goes back to his room. He strips down and crawls into his bed. After hours of fighting back the urge to cut himself, sleep comes to him.
