.Cute


Dating Olette is half worth it just to see Hayner so pissed off. Seifer enjoys those looks of pure frustration far too much. And it isn't just that; Olette is a sweet girl - but smart, and surprisingly not-ditsy. And she isn't annoyingly protective either, not like some fucking mom. She doesn't expect presents, and isn't insultingly surprised when she gets them - nor does she leave such favors un-repaid.

After school, at Seifer's house, she tosses her bag onto the kitchen table and slouches forward. "School is eating me alive." She whines, but quickly sits up, taking her homework out of her bag and spreading it on the table. Seifer hands her a glass of water, and appreciates that she doesn't say thank you - not like it was a fucking favor or something lame like that.

He sits at the table and watches her figure out math equations. He half-understands and half-doesn't - and Olette says that it might help if he actually did his homework for once. He smirks at her, because it's cute that she's trying to steer him in the right direction, but she won't win. Having no understanding of his thought-process, Olette just blinks at him, and goes back to working. That's pretty damn cute too, Seifer thinks.

Within two weeks she's taken after Fuu, and has Rai do half her homework. (Seifer is surprised he understands the subjects, but Olette says the answers are almost always correct.) Olette has adapted to the disciplinary committee, and has even stopped scolding them - though it was half-hearted to begin with - when they've caused some trouble. Seifer thinks this is all very cute too, and watches her boss around Rai - politely.

The next day, Seifer watches Rai straighten every poster and picture on the wall. Fuu and Olette sit on the couch, the brunette upholding a one-sided conversation quite nicely. Such talkative people usually piss Fuu off, but the girl appears to be enjoying the company to some extent. Rai half-salutes when Fuu hands him her empty glass to refill, and Olette gives him a smile and tells him the room could use a good sweeping.

Olette turns back to Fuu, informing the older girl of her weekend plans, and the role the 'disciplinary committee' will play in them.

Seifer decides it's not cute anymore.
