And I wanted to say,
Don't you shiver? Shiver shiver
Quistis woke to find herself bathed in light from the nearby window. She rubbed her eyes open to look outside, seeing two birds perched on the balcony's ledge and a bright blue sky beyond them. 'I don't remember that being open before I napped.' She thought. She closed her eyes before they watered from the brightness of the light. Through her eyelids, she noticed a shadow creep over her, the warmth from the sun being replaced with a cold darkness. She opened her eyes, expecting to see an incoming storm, which was previously predicted, but instead found a figure hovering over her.
"Hey Quistis, babe." The tall blonde said lovingly.
"S-Seifer?" She uttered in disbelief. He shrugged with a smile and sat on the bed, next to her. Quistis flung herself into his arms, hugging him as hard as she could. He welcomed this affection and wrapped his arms around her. She stayed in his arms for a surprisingly long time until she realized it wasn't a dream. Sitting up, she punched him hard in the chest, making him grunt from the impact. "Where have you been? You just up and left after." She paused and looked down at her sheets sadly.
"After you left me for the over-achiever?" She nodded, still avoiding his gazing eyes. "I never did understand why you did that, and I didn't forgive you until." He paused, searching for his feelings for if he wanted to go through with telling her what was next. He lifted her chin, forcing her to meet with his eyes. "Until I realized something. Everything I did after that I did for you." Quistis looked at him, confused, and pulled away. "I did and still love you Quisty." He looked away for the first time that day, as not to be hurt by her expression. She sat, stunned by this confession, and had no idea what else to say. He broke the silence for her by standing up with a rustle of heavy fabric.
"Where are you going?" She asked in vain, only to receive a shrug. "Please, don't leave again!" He turned to her, a tear beginning to fall.
"It was a mistake for me to come back. I-I just missed your beautiful face." He went towards the door but Quistis jumped up and grabbed his arm.
"Please, don't go.I need you." Seifer looked at her with hopeful eyes, confused by this pledge. Her eyes were also teary and he noticed how dark the rings were under her sorrow-filled eyes. His grasp on the door loosened and she smiled faintly, collapsing into his warm embrace knowing he would hold her for an eternity.
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
After a while of silence between the two, Quistis broke the embrace and walked over to take a seat upon the bed, patting the spot next to her, inviting Seifer to join. He took off his massive coat, threw it on the end of the bed, and took the offer.
"I still can't believe you actually went and fought with Squall after I left you. That angered me to think you had to be so immature!" Seifer looked down as if he was a little child being scolded.
"I know, I did a lot of foolish things.but they were all in attempts to get you back." Quistis glared at him in disbelief.
"So you scarred Squall for me? You almost killed him, yourself and later endangered many lives just for me? You created mass destruction and ruined lives for me? You even put my own life in danger, all for me you say. Seifer Almasy, that makes no sense!"
"I know it seems stupid, but all true.I thought if I could show you I was more powerful, more important, more in love.that you would see in me whatever you see in the pussy.I mean Squall." He sighed loudly in despair from his mistakes. "I was really immature about it. Its just that I had never loved someone the way I love you, Quisty, and when you left me for him, the one I already despised for being perfect, something snapped. I'm sorry, so sorry." He put his head in his hands and shook it sadly, then he looked back up to her, "That's the main reason why I came back, to get your forgiveness." Tears formed in her eyes as she heard him speak.
"Seifer.I have never had anyone care for me so much like you have. What you just told me is the best thing anyone has ever done in an attempt to only get my approval. For all I did to you, for all that time while I ignored you, refused to see your pledge of love.I feel so ignorant. I am so sorry I broke your heart."
"Shh.it's alright, you don't have to apologize to me for something you couldn't help." He said, while wiping a tear away from the tip if her nose. "You know, you're even beautiful when crying."
So, you know how much I need ya
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?
"What do you mean by that, Zell?" Squall asked, as if he was just accused of treason.
"Oh, I don't know, I was just thinking that maybe you still had feelings for her, and that's why you've been weird-thinking about your other options." He said, with a wink and playful shove with his shoulder. Squall only glared at him.
"I'm not a cheater, Zell."
"I never said you were."
"Then just what were you saying? That I want to leave Rinoa for Quistis?" Zell shrugged. "Well, I'm not a cheater." Zell nodded. "I do have feelings for Quistis and I am going to marry her!" He realized what he said and bit his lip, ashamed. The blonde nudged him and gave a reassuring look to let him know it was okay. "Quistis." Squall laid back down on the bed, looking at the ceiling for concentration. Zell lay with his head next to Squall's and stared up as well.
"Whatcha lookin' at?" He turned to look at the troubled brunette who also turned to return the stare, before getting up off the bed and putting on his leather coat. "Where ya going now?" Squall opened the door and stepped out.
"To talk to Rinoa." The door shut and Zell quickly got up and hurried to the door.
And on and on, from the moment I wake
'Til the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
"What are you saying? Our wedding is in two days from now!" Rinoa Growled.
"I've realized I never wanted this to begin with, you're just not the one for me." Rinoa was looking him up and down in disbelief.
"And just who is?" She said, placing a hand on her hip and tapping her foot irritably.
"I don't know for sure yet, but I know I need to look around more before jumping into a relationship like we have." Rinoa's sorceress eyes burned with fury. "So, this is the end. I'm sorry it took me so long to realize you're not for me." With that, he turned for the door.
"You can't leave me! You're my knight!" She said, grabbing the back of his jacket.
"This isn't some fantasy, Rinoa, this is real life." He opened the door and two bodies fell into a scrambling heap on the floor. They looked up and smiled.
"Heh, sorry man.couldn't help it." Zell said as Selphie climbed off him.
"You two try to calm her down, I've got someone to see." Rinoa turned away as Squall left her alone with the two friends. A large tear rolled down her face and fell upon her pale hand, which was gripping Squall's ring on her necklace tightly. Her eyes turned from red burning flames of hatred into cool pools of water.
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care (if you care)
Seiffer put his hand on Quistis's face, stroking her soft cheek with his thumb. She smiled at him with her tear-streaked face and red nose. He had to laugh a little to himself; she was even desirable to him looking in the state she was. He brushed away a loose strand of hair and wiped off a lingering tear.
"Seifer."
"Quistis?"
"Seifer, I missed you." She said with a smile.
"As did I you." He was what she needed to keep her mind off Squall. She had forgotten how sweet he was, how much he actually cared for her. She never forgot how handsome he was, however, but she didn't quite remember just how brightly his eyes sparkled with love for her. She snuggled closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder, receiving the sweet Seifer smell of sweat and musk. He took a deep breath of her, smelling the jasmine in her hair. How he had longed and dreamed of that smell. That smell could never be matched by anything or anyone. He lifted her head up to gaze into her eyes again. "Quisty, I've got to kiss you."
He bent down to press his lips against her flesh and to his pleasure, she allowed him to and even returned the tender caress. He embraced her, pulling her closer to him. His tongue traced her bottom lip in hopes it would gain entrance, and his wish was granted. She parted her lips allowing the familiar taste to enter, memories of the past came to them both, remembering how it was and it seemed as though nothing had changed.
A moment later, Seifer puled away, still holding Quistis's ivory face. "God how I missed those lips." He said with a loving smile. A tear of happiness flowed down her face. "Don't cry anymore babe. I'm here forever." He kissed the tear away from her face. "See, that's how we fix those problems from now on, okay?" She nodded before hugging him again and nuzzling into his neck. "I love you babe." He whispered into her ear.
Did you want me to change?
Well I'll change for good
Squall quickly walked through the hallways with an overwhelming feel of freedom. It took Zell asking him about Quistis to finally realize he had feelings for her. He thought he might love her, actually, and felt stupid for not realizing it sooner. Turning around a hall corner, he saw his old room door at the end; Quistis's room now. 'She'll be happy to get her old room back at least.' He thought.
Before entering, he ran ideas on what to say to her through her mind, but couldn't seem to get it right. 'Hey Quisty. How have you been?' He thought while pacing back and forth outside the door. 'I just broke off the wedding, wasn't what I wanted.I realize I only want you.'
"Fuck this!" He said as he grabbed the doorknob. The door opened slowly, just in case she was asleep; it was about 10 p.m., time for the garden curfew to kick in. He opened it slightly and heard her speak, talking to someone, evidentially. He wanted to get a clue on who was in her room at this hour before he entered, in case it was something not to be disturbed. Then he finally heard a name, a shocking name at that.
"Seifer." he heard Quistis's voice say quietly. His throat tightened and his fist clenched, getting ready to jump in there to get rid of him.
"Quistis?" A manly voice replied.
"Seifer, I missed you." Squall's eyes shot open.
"As did I you." Squall couldn't believe his ears, 'What is Seifer doing here, now? This cant be right!' He opened the door a little farther so he could peek in. There Quistis sat, on her bed, with his arms tightly around her and head resting on his shoulder. Seifer breathed her in deeply, then he caught a glimpse of movement at the door. He looked up quickly at the figure standing in the shadows and an evil smile of revenge swept over his previously tranquil face. Squall had noticed his stare and quickly made to leave, quickly but silently closing the door. Before it was all the way shut, he heard Seifer speak once more, "Quistis, I've got to kiss you."
I hope this was enjoyed.although I don't think I have kept everyone in character very well.oh well. Only like two more chapters, I think.maybe three?.but I want only two more, hehe. Please r/r and let me know what should be changed and all that jazz! *beams* thanks!
