Most may be wondering if there was any "action" between Zell and Serah, and of course there was, they became intimate but every time they tried to make it to the next level, something happened.

They usually were called for something important, so they actually never made love, but that made them think that maybe their first time needed to be special. And Serah, thinking this prepared quite the dinner for Zell in his birthday, bought some lingerie and made the best atmosphere in her room as it could be possible.

This was it.

That day, March 17, Zell arrived quite late from a mission and even though he knew he had to go to Serah he fell asleep in his room… and he never arrived to his surprise.

Serah was not the person to get angry easily but this time she actually put a lot of effort in everything so she became irritated and a little annoyed. She went to sleep and the next day everybody could see she was not in the mood.

Zell woke up abruptly. It was 12:04 and he cursed. Serah was so going to kill him. When he got out of his room he bumped into Rinoa.

"Hey birthday boy, how was last night?" Rinoa hugged him and smirked at the blonde. She knew what the surprise was.

"Umm… I dunno" Zell responded. He was ashamed, he had a surprise? Serah was so going to torture him and then kill him. (But somehow he couldn't imagine Serah doing anything aggressive)

Rinoa's expression changed, she was between surprised and angry. "What do you mean you don't- OH NO! YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP? HOW DARE YOU? Poor Serah, she even got the day off to buy everything" She got confused, then angry and then preoccupied. Rinoa hit him again and just when she finished that question Zell darted towards the infirmary.

'You gotta be jokin' Zell arrived to the infirmary only to see Serah typing something on her computer. He took a deep breath and entered.

Serah looked up to see the last person she wanted to look at. She was a little annoyed, if not angry at him. But she knew deep inside that he had a good reason.

"Im sorry, I arrived really late from the mission and I fell asleep. I'm really sorry" Zell made a sad face and even though she was angry, she knew she had to give in… for three reasons. He had a good excuse, it was his birthday and she wanted to forgive him

Serah got up and threw herself to him to kiss him. Zell was caught up by surprise and almost fell but lets face it: Serah's tiny form resembled a tiny box; she was as light as a feather.

"You had me worried" Serah said and kissed him again. The kisses they shared had always been sweet but this time they were rough.

"Take the day off" Zell said as he was breathing heavily. He wasn't the only one.

Serah nodded and told her assistant she was in charge. As soon as she did, Zell and Serah were gone. They went to her room, where things started to get even more intimate.
