Tangled Up
Chapter 2- Blushing Rarely Goes Unnoticed, Even In The Dark…
Disclaimer- I do not own Final Fantasy it belongs to Square not me.
The dim lighting and the heavy silence set an odd mood in Quistis' room. The blonde woman was sitting up on her bed and staring at the door ahead of her, she wanted nothing more than for the door to just fly open and allow her freedom from her nightmare.
But alas, this was not going to happen, and she knew that, so she sat here and, amid the fantasies of the power coming back on, she thought of how to keep her and the other two in her room busy.
"So…" she started breaking the awkward silence with awkward noise, "Wanna watch a movie while we wait?" Seifer looked at her like she was retarded.
"Quistis, the power is out." She nodded.
"Right…" she said, "Um… then do you wanna… listen to some music?"
"Quistis," said the large man from his seat at her medium sized desk, "the power isout."
Quistis blushed in the dark, I am so stupid she thought to herself. Quistis had tons of ideas of what to do to pass the time, and they all either required power or for Bryan not to be there, and Seifer to be half naked.
Hold up.
Did I just think that? she asked herself as she shook the thought from her foolish head. The dark was really driving her crazy. To break the increasing tension she opened her mouth to make another suggestion.
"Wanna watch some T.V.?" Seifer groaned.
"Hey professor," started Seifer, "did you fall in the dark and hit your head? The-power-is-out," he replied annoyed. He laid his head on her desk and tried to fall asleep to escape the demented woman.
"Right…" Quistis said. What was wrong with her, why did she continue to suggest options that were so obviously not going to happen? But she couldn't stop herself.
"Then um… do you guys wanna… go on the computer?" Seifer, and Bryan groaned in unison and Bryan got up and headed for the bathroom attached to the room, at least those were working right.
Quistis fell back onto her bed, and put her head on her pillow. What she did in a past life to have this occur she didn't know, maybe she exterminated a colony of people, or was the master behind a political rebellion.
Yes, because killing people is the same as her situation…
Selphie's drenched body collapsed on Ma Dincht's front porch. Her and Zell had finally made it to his mom's place and managed to get completely soaked in the torrential downpour of water. The two breathed in heavily trying to catch their breath from the run, when Zell had recovered a little he reached into his pocket to retrieve the key to the house.
He opened the door and instinctively reached for the light switch in the front hall, when the lights didn't turn on he remembered that the power was out all over town. Selphie stumbled inside and leaned against a wall, then immediately stood up straight, not wanting to ruin the paint job.
"Zelly, the lights are all out and your house is freaky," she said as he closed the door behind them, making the room even darker.
"That tends to happen when the power goes out," he replied heading for the stairs, "but don't worry Selph, there's nothing there in the dark that's not there in the light."
What if in the light there was a serial killer hiding and waiting for a power outage? she thought sarcastically.
Selphie heard a creak from the room to her left and turned her head to see if someone was there. Although she saw nothing, she was sure that she had heard something. Getting a little frightened the brunette followed Zell up the stairs quickly.
Zell brought them to his old room, maneuvering there easily, even though it was dark.
"Okay Selph you can find something to wear I'm sure," he said as he took of his wet shirt and tossed it into a clothes bin in the corner of the room. He exited the room for a moment and returned with a large towel for Selphie, "Dry off and find something to wear I'll go change in the bathroom down the hall. If you need anything I'll be right there."
The small girl nodded and watched as Zell exited to room with some dry clothes in his arms. She turned and examined the room where Zell had grown up more closely.
The paint was a light shade of navy and across the room were pictures of Zell kicking a soccer ball or shadowboxing. Selphie dried off using the towel and put on one of Zell's button down shirts and blue boxer shorts.
They were too big for her so she rolled them up a bit to make them smaller on her short legs. When she was finished her mischievous mind went into action.
I'm in Zell's room, she thought I have a diary in my room so maybe Zell does to.
Selphie walked over to his dresser and was about to open the top drawer when she heard a knocking noise in Zell's closet. She turned quickly and stared at the mahogany wood door. Was she imagining things? Had she truly heard something?
The brunette shook her head, You're being silly Selphie she thought to herself.
Then she heard another knock. The girl didn't need to here it again, she bolted from the room and headed across the hall and without knocking, opened the door to the bathroom where Zell was.
"Zell there's-" her sentence was cut short as she stared at Zell's naked behind. The blonde turned quickly in shock as her covered his most private area, his face red as an apple.
"SELPHIE!" he exclaimed.
Selphie was in shock, but she snapped out of it and shut the door, offering a weak apology.
She leaned against the door and slid down quickly, her butt hitting the floor with a small thud.
I saw Zell almost naked she thought. In the dark her cheeks began to burn. That's better than some lame old diary…
Sure is.
