Change

Chapter 2

HEY! Hello, how are you all? I like this fan fiction so I'm planning on writing it faster! (that means slowly but not as slow as the others XD)

Disclaimer: I don't own Final fantasy VIII, wish I did though.

Dedicated to all my friends and loyal readers! I'm not posting all your names.

Oh! This chapter will contain very slight innuendos just to tell you. Sorry that there's no yaoi:) Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEIFER

I felt you weeping in my arms,

I felt your heart beat next to mine,

I heard your laughter,

Then I realised.

I held Zell and smiled slightly, not my usual sneer. I wrapped my long coat around him as he began to shiver from the cold room, I then realised that he wasn't wearing much. His body pressed against mine as I carried him to the sofa, unsure of what else to do.

I placed him down gently and he smiled up at me. It was so cute that I almost kissed him, but I was straight so I didn't. Then his eyes slid closed and he began to breathe softly. I felt a tightness in my chest which was unfamiliar and made me feel so very happy. My breathing doubled its pace, becoming louder and harder.

"Zell..." I muttered, not wanting him to fall asleep out in his living room. "Zell..."

I froze when I heard footsteps, loud and fast retreating away from the door. I paused and ran to open it only to find no one in sight.

I turned back and shut the door slowly. Zell was now sitting up with my coat wrapped around him like a blanket, rubbing the sleep from his eyes like a small child.

"What was it Seifer?" He asked in a sleepy voice.

"No one." I whispered.

SQUALL

What the hell had I just heard going on in Zell's room!

I shook my head as I walked down the corridor. I needed to know before my imagination began to make up little stories that would make me think that something was...

I began to jog. I had to concentrate on something else other than that. Yes, I could think about the up coming missions I had to hand out. I could go back to my office and...Damn it!

Why did these thought keep coming into my head? Why was it always Zell and Seifer together, calling out for each other, touching each other.

I rounded the corner and almost ran into a shorter man. He caught me as I began to fall, his hands gripping my arms tight.

"Whoa there!" The man yelled in surprise, "Watch were yer goin'"

I looked up at him, my normal expression lost to embarrassment. "Uh, sorry." I muttered, my arms pulling free from his grasp.

He smiled slightly, "That's alright." He ran a hand through his shoulder length, deep green hair, "It's not like it was yer fault or nothin'"

I nodded, my eyes lost in his black coat that swirled around his ankles. He had black leather boots that had been pulled up to the knees of his black trousers and gloves to match. His top was the only piece of clothing that wasn't black, it was a deep blue.

"Well, be seein' ya!" He waved as he walked past me.

I just stood there and stared at the spot he had been standing in. My mind was horribly blank. I smiled and whispered, "You too." Before heading off to my room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEIFER

I sat at my table in the cafeteria, my face unusually happy. No one sat next to me, not that I cared, and my eyes were fixed on a certain small blonde fighter.

Then Squall came in, his usual cold self, and sat next to Zell. I noticed that the brown haired man was strangely pale for once.

I thought he had looked a little sleep deprived, but you can never tell with Squall. He glanced over at me and turned away quickly, acting strangely unsure of himself. If I hadn't known better I would have thought he was scared of me, but that would never happen.

When Zell began a one sided conversation with the brunette I turned back and looked at my plate. The food wasn't really appealing to me, I hadn't been hungry all day.

Another man entered the hall and sat on the far end of my table. He was dressed mostly in black and it made me want to laugh. He was a wanna-be-cool-guy and you could tell.

I peeled my eyes away from him and looked back at Zell, who was eating a hotdog as per usual. Squall just stared blankly past him, no plate in front of him. Selphie and Rinoa had joined them and Irvine was in the queue to buy his dinner.

I turned back to see the man dressed in black had gone from the cafeteria.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SQUALL

My mind was focused on that man and I didn't know why. It really bugged me. Rinoa was talking to me about something or other, but I wasn't really listening to her.

I noticed her sit down and stop talking after a while and turned to face her. She had a frown on her face and she looked annoyed.

"What's with you today Squall?" Rinoa pouted, "I'm trying to talk to you and you're not even listening to me."

"Sorry Rinoa." I muttered.

She sighed and smiled, "It's ok squall, I can't stay mad at you." She placed a delicate hand on mine, "I was talking about where we should go this weekend. I mean, it would be fun to do something all together for once."

"Hmmm, yeah it would." I replied without really listening, all I heard was go and fun.

"I'm glad you agree," The brunette smiled, "I have to go and check on something, I'll be back soon ok?"

"Sure." I said after her.

Selphie looked strangely at me after that conversation, that is until she saw Irvine coming over. Then she went all hyper like normal.

Zell looked annoyed at me and it was then I realised I had been ignoring him.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"Nothing." He muttered and walked away looking wounded.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEIFER

I followed Zell out of the cafeteria, mainly because he looked like Squall had slapped him or something and I wanted to know what happened. I wasn't worried.

I had to jog to keep up with him, he was quick for a short guy.

"Zell? You ok?" I asked from his left.

"I'm fine Seifer." He answered in an almost angry voice.

"Are you sure? You seem angry."

"I said I'm fine!"

"Oh really?"

"YES!"

I grinned and was quiet, content that I had annoyed him enough. The small fighter carried on for a while before he spoke his mind.

"I think it was Squall outside my room last night." He spoke so quickly I had to ask him to repeat himself.

"Why do you think that? Was he acting strangely?"

"No, he just seemed far away, I mean more than normal."

I grinned, "And how did you notice this?"

The small blonde huffed, "He wasn't listening me and he wasn't paying any attention to Rinoa!"

"Oh." Well that did seem a bit odd, Squall ignoring Rinoa was very rare.

"Should we ask him?" Zell looked up at me with puppy dog eyes, I wasn't sure what he was trying to tell me.

"No, he'll tell us if he's bothered about me coming to see you in your room in the middle of the night for no good reason what so ever. Yeah, He'll tell us."

Zell frowned and we carried on walking.

Sorry! I wanted this chapter up so badly that I'm going to have to make this a three or four parter! Don't hate me!

The yaoi may be in the next chapter, or there may not be any! Who knows?

Love you guys! Till next time!
