Now if Seifer was blushing then it must be something seriously embarrassing and since my mom was saying words such as 'cute' I assumed that she had seen me and Seifer this morning. Then I saw something in her hand and I felt an instant sense of dread.

"Mom?" I questioned walking fully around the corner. She giggled again and smiled childishly at me.

"Hi honey! Sleep well?" She asked, giggling like a 4 year old the entire time. I stared at the object in her hand.

"Why do you have the camera?" I totally ignored her question. She looked down at the camera in her hand innocently before putting it behind her back and trying to look innocent.

"Oh no reason... I'm going to go to the store now, bye!" My mom said as she tried to race past me. I stepped in front of her and crossed my arms.

"Mom, give me the camera." I warned. She shook her head childishly. I tried to reach behind her for it but she made sure it was out of my reach. From then on it became a game. I chased her all around the house trying (and failing) to get the camera from her. I knew she had taken pictures. That would be the only reason she would have the camera. After about 15 minutes I was out of breath and I had to stop chasing her. She stood before me proudly, smiling that damned smile. For some reason unknown to everyone, she didn't look the least bit tired from running for 15 minutes straight, and she was laughing like a crazy woman the whole time! I lunged once more for the camera, hoping that maybe I would take her by surprise. She just sidestepped and I fell on the floor.

"Hayner, maybe you should exercise more often instead of eating all those chocolate bars and playing video games all day." She teased. I rolled off of my face, which I had landed on by the way, and onto my back. My ribs hurt like hell from running and falling on them and all.

"You know it's mean to tease someone who's injured." I stated. She just rolled her eyes.

"Hayner, honey, you deserved it from trying to get these pictures." Then she knelt down beside me and whispered in my ear. "I'll make you copies." Then she jumped up, full of energy once again, and walked away.

"You could at least help me up!" I yelled after her. From the other room I heard her ask Seifer to help me, then the front door open and shut. "She's going to go make copies... and pass them out to all her yaoi loving friends and they're going to sit for hours talking about it." I said to myself.

"That's fucking great, just fucking fantastic..." Seifer said from the entryway.

"Tell me about it." I said, waiting for him to come help me up. When he just stood their looking at me I decided that maybe he needed some instruction. "Bastard, help me up." I ordered. Seifer scowled at me but came and helped me up anyways. Then we ate breakfast. Well first we made it, then we ate it. Usually my mom cooked breakfast for me, but I guess she was to busy being mental. Seifer and I didn't talk much. It was really awkward. Every time our eyes met he looked away and I blushed. It was weird being like this with Seifer. I mean, we were now technically fake dating and we would have to act like we were real dating which meant doing all those things that people who are dating do. Which I guessed meant like holding hands and hugging and things like that.

"Seifer... about the fake dating thing.." I said nervously. He looked at me and looked slightly scared. I ignored the fear and continued talking. "I was thinking.."

"Oh lord that's not good!" Seifer said, face completely straight. I blinked at him a few times, confused and slightly insulted by his outburst. I was trying to figure out if he was joking or being serious. He just looked at me with a bored expression.

"Anyways..." I continued, not really sure on what else to do. Seifer face-palmed which probably meant that he had been joking. I smiled apologetically at him. He had at least tried to make a joke. I guess it was a good thing, even if it was insulting. "I've been thinking about it and.. what exactly would we do? I mean, I don't take you for the holding hands and hugging sort of type. Or the perverted type that always grabs your partners ass. So.. I mean, I would just kind of like to know what to expect." I explained. Seifer's face relaxed.

"Oh, you got me worried there for a second. I will act like a normal boyfriend. With the holding hands and hugging sort of thing. You know, a kiss in the morning and stuff like that. Just remember it's all an act, I don't really do that when I'm in a relationship with someone, but we need to make it seem as if we're together right? So we have to show PDA." Seifer answered back. It made sense actually.

"Of course it's an act." I laughed. "It's totally impossible for it to be anything but an act." I said, faking laughing. It hurt a little to admit it out loud, but I couldn't end up fooling myself and believing that it was anything different. I would only end up getting hurt when this was all done. Seifer gave me a worried look.

"Are you okay with it just being an act chickenwuss?" Seifer asked unexpectedly. I stared at him in disbelief. After my moment of shock passed I studied his face, looking for any sort of disgust or anger or anything. There was nothing. He seemed genuinely worried.

"Y-yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I questioned, stuttering once. Seifer's face fell for a second before it just went blank.

"Just wondering. So what do you want to do now?" Seifer changed the subject, which I was kind of bummed about, but I was also grateful.

"I was thinking that, you know, since I'm hurt and there are people out there looking to beat me up again, I should just stay in and play video games." I stated. Seifer nodded. We made our way back to my bedroom. Seifer sat uncomfortably beside me on my bed as I turned on my Playstation 3. I grabbed the nearest game, which happened to be Assassin's Creed, and started playing.

After about 25 minutes Seifer relaxed beside me. I smiled slightly. He would get used to being around me, he had to get used to it. I paused the game and turned towards him.

"Seifer.. do you think that they are watching us right now?" I asked. It had crossed my mind a few times, and I was starting to feel self conscious.. which was unusual. Except for when I was next to Seifer. Then again, I was sure everyone felt that way around Seifer, except my mom of course. Well, my mom was always the exception to every rule.

"Possibly." Was the only thing he said.

"What do you mean possibly?"

"Well, if I was them, I would make sure you were watched 24/7. But I'm smarter than them.." Seifer said, all cocky and shit. It was kind of hot..

"So are you going to go home anytime soon?" Seifer gave me a funny look.

"Chickenwuss, if you want me to leave then I'll leave when your mom gets back. I need to get ready for school tomorrow anyways." Seifer stated. Just then I heard the front door open and shut.

"Hayner I'm home!" My mom's voice floated up the stairs.

"Oh, well, then I'll be going now then." Seifer said, getting off the bed.

"Wait Seifer!" I exclaimed and turned off my PS3 quickly before walking him down the stairs. At the front door my mom gave him a hug and left the room. I stood there awkwardly, wondering if I should also give him a hug.

"Um... well... bye." Seifer said. He sounded unsure as well. Then I kind of freaked when he started to open the door. I did something that I shouldn't have. I hugged Seifer. Well, he was turned away from me and I just kind of stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his waist. He tensed, which was expected. I didn't expect him to be relaxed about it. We just stayed like that for a few minutes. To my surprise he actually started to relax. I stepped away from him and he turned towards me.

"Well, starting tomorrow are we not going to be showing PDA? I just thought maybe we should get used to physical contact a little.." I explained myself a little. Seifer nodded.

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Seifer said and pulled me into another hug. "Night chickenwuss." he said while he held me close to him. I heard him sigh a little, or I thought I did. Sometimes I imagined things that I wanted to happen.

"Night ass-hat." I said back as he released me. He smirked at me and stepped out of the house.

"I'll be back in the morning to walk you to school." Seifer said and turned away from me and walking towards where I assumed his house was.

It was hard to fall asleep. I assumed it was because I wanted Seifer there with me. It had only been 2 nights, but still it was comforting knowing that there was someone beside me, protecting me. I had finally managed to fall asleep at around 1:30 in the morning. Then I had a dream. A very interesting dream.

Seifer smiled at me, a genuinely happy smile. It made my heart race. I felt proud, like I had caused his happiness somehow. He walked towards me and kissed my forehead. Then he pulled me into a hug. When he pulled away I got yet another kiss on the forehead. Then on the nose, then on the cheek. He secured my chin between his calloused forefinger and thumb. Tilting my head to the left he brought his lips to my neck...

.BEEP. My damn alarm clock beeped annoyingly, tearing me out of the dream. I wanted that fucking dream to continue thank you very much. I slapped my alarm clock to shut it up and stared at the ceiling. Two seconds after I considered falling back asleep my mom burst into the room, beaming with happiness like usual.

"Morning my love!" My mother sang. "Are you excited for school today?" She asked this ever morning and the answer was always no, but then she added something new."And Seifer.." I smiled a little. That was right. I would get to see Seifer and today was the day that we were going to start fake dating for real.

"Actually, I am excited." I stated, sitting up and smiling back at my mother. She squealed and clapped her hands, then twirled out of my room and a little ways down the hall. A few seconds later her head popped into my room again.

"Oh, breakfast is ready. Hurry up sweetheart and get ready I have to go in a little early today so I called Seifer and asked him if he could come early." With that she was skipping cheerily down the hall. I blushed a little, not really sure why, but I did. Then I got out of bed and went down into the kitchen to eat breakfast.. or more accurately, inhale breakfast. Then I ran back into my room, collected some clothes, showered, changed, and brushed my teeth quickly. Finally ending with fixing my hair, three times. I started to get nervous. It was the first time I would ever show any sort of affection towards anyone. I never really had enough courage to ask out anyone I liked, it's not that I liked a lot of people. In all reality I had liked Roxas a long time ago and then Seifer from then until now. I looked away from my reflection in the mirror when I heard a knock on the door. Seifer. I hurried out of the bathroom and down the stairs.

"Seifer! Hi! Hayner is running down the stairs now, and I really have to go. Talk to you two love birds later!" My mother sand as she hurried out the door and headed off to work. Seifer just stood there staring at the spot my mom used to stand.

"Seifer, let's go!" I said, grabbing my bag from beside the door and pushing him towards the sidewalk. I shut and locked the door and hurried towards school. Seifer followed closely. When we started to near where Roxas and I usually met up every morning Seifer grabbed my hand. I looked at him weirdly, before remembering that we had to show PDA. I tried to act normal, and I think I was doing a great job. The moment Seifer and I came into view Roxas stared at our intertwined hands. He sent me a confused look and I just smiled slightly. When we got within talking range he didn't say anything about it and just acted normal. We made small talk about how our weekends went, Axel and Seifer were quiet while Roxas and I told the basics of the weekend. I didn't say anything about Seifer and I except that he stayed over.

"Your mother must love that." Roxas laughed. I blushed, but laughed along with him.

"She does." I said back.

"That's one reason why I won't bring Axel there anymore.. last time was really scary. Does she still have those pictures?" Roxas asked. I nodded, blushing more. My mom always found some way to embarrass me. We were in front of the school now and Pence and Olette joined us. They two stared at Seifer's hand intertwined with my own. They didn't say anything either. My friends never brought up anything in the company of others. They would find a way to get me alone and ask me about it. I saw Rai and Fuu standing by the front doors. Seifer pulled me close and pecked me on the lips. He didn't pull away though, just hovered just about my lips. I pecked him back and he smiled, dropping my hand.

"See you later chickenwuss." He called over his shoulder.

"Later jackass!" I called after him. He flipped me off without even turning towards me. I chuckled and turned towards my gawking friends. "What?" I questioned, feigning innocence.

"What the hell do you mean by 'What?'?" Roxas asked me.

"Yeah, dude, what's going on with you and Seifer. I thought you two were like 'I hate you!' 'Well, I hate you more!'" Pence added. I jokingly glared at him.

"Tell us what happened!" Olette begged. I stared at my three best friends, and Axel. Then I looked towards where Seifer had gone to. He wasn't there anymore and neither were Rai or Fuu. He never gave me a story to tell my friends, so I wasn't sure what to say.

"Guys, I'll explain it later, okay? Now we have to get to class or we'll be late!" I said, rushing towards the doors. From behind me I heard Roxas.

"When has he ever really cared about being to class on time?" Roxas asked. I never heard a response, but I'm sure someone said never. I hurried to my locker and then to class. Seifer and I had a few classes together, but they were after lunch. I sat down in my usual seat, but then something I never expected to happen happened.

"Hayner! That's your name right? Hi, I'm Emil." Some random kid came up to me and sat down beside me. He was smiling, but it was fake. I felt instantly on alert.

"Hi. Are you new here?" I asked. He nodded ecclesiastically. He was trying to seem innocent, and to anyone else it would have come off as innocent, but I knew innocence. I had met Sora, and just look at my mom. That was true innocence, this kid was just a fake. "Your with them aren't you?" I asked even though I already knew what his answer would be. He gave me a fake confused look.

"Them?" He asked. I glared at him.

"Just stay away from me, okay? I'm not stupid." I stated. The innocent look on his face faded and he sighed, standing up he started walking away. "By the way, you an excellent actor, I'm just harder to fool then most people." I said. He smirked at me and saluted me before going and sitting in the far back of the room. Just then Roxas walked in and looked at Emil. He glared at him and sat down beside me.

"Watch out for that new kid." He warned. I nodded, even though I was already aware of the danger he posed, even though Roxas didn't he could always feel.. well, he could usually feel when something weird was going on. The bell rang and Mr. Duncan walked in the room.

"Okay class, let's get started."
