Quistis walked into her house tears spilling down her cheeks as the smell of alcohol and smoke overwhelmed her. She coughed and tried to quickly make her way to her room without being seen.

"Where the hell have you been!!!??"

Quistis turned around quickly to come face to face with her father. She quickly looked down to the floor and whispered softly.

"You forgot to pick me up, I had to get a ride with a friend of mine."

Her father glared at her.

"Are you accusing me of forgetting about my own daughter?"

He sneered at her. Quistis cringed from the smell of beer and continued to stare at the floor choosing to remain silent.

"I didn't fucking forget!"

He yelled at her throwing the beer can he held in his hands at the wall behind Quistis, she jumped shocked and stared up at him.

"It's not that big of a deal dad."

She said softly. Her dad growled and stepped forward.

"It is to me! Who the hell brought you home?"

Quistis gulped and mumbled "Seifer" quickly while adverting her eyes to the floor again.

"Who?"

Her father asked glaring at her. Quistis sighed.

"Your bosses son..."

She said as softly as she could hoping that he wouldn't hear her.

"What!? Almasy's boy? You're so fucking stupid! Why the hell would you do this to me?"

"Papa?"

A soft voice asked from the door. Quistis' dad just ignored the voice still glaring at Quistis with hazy eyes.

Quistis frowned and glanced at the door to see a small girl holding a paper bag in her hands. She had big sad blue eyes just like Quistis and long thin curly hair. Her once white dress was now torn and had grass stains all over. Quistis smiled at her and opened her arms to her ignoring her fathers harsh comments.

The little girl smiled at her and gently placed the bag she was clutching on the floor and ran to her throwing her arms around her neck.

"Quisty! Guess what I found today!"

The little girl said excitedly. Quistis smiled at her and kissed the top of her head. Her father huffed and turned making his way to the couch that was covered in beer cans as was everything else. Cussing he threw the beer cans from the couch before falling down onto the seat and grabbing another beer.

"What did you find, Trinity?"

Quistis asked the small girl softly. Trinity giggled and ran back to the door picking up the brown bag again. She brought it back and opened it.

"Close your eyes!"

She said slyly while putting her hand into the bag. Quistis smiled at the excited girl and closed her eyes.

"Put your hands in front of you."

Trinity commanded softly. Quistis cupped her hands in front of her waiting. She felt the girls small hands place something soft and furry in her own hands.

"Mk! Open your eyes!"

Quistis opened them and looked down at a small black puppy in her hands. The puppy fit in her palm perfectly. Its eyes were barely open and it whined softly.

"Where did you find it?"

Quistis asked the smiling girl. Clasping her hands behind her back Trinity smiled.

"There were five of them up at school! Their mother had been hit by a car in front of the school! The other four were killed by those mean boys who pick on me."

She said her eyes tearing up. Quistis nodded sadly as the small pup began to suck on her thumb. Trinity brushed a tear quickly away and continued with her story.

"They were going to hang this one from Mrs. Ariel's door, but I stopped them."

Trinity said smiling. Quistis nodded and surveyed Trinity taking in her ripped and stained dress. She also noticed the small bruises forming on her cheek and arms.

"So I see."

She said softly. She handed the small black puppy back to Trinity who placed it lovingly in her arms and began to rock the whimpering dog.

"Well it looks fairly young so we'll have to give it some milk. Hmm maybe we can try using..."

"GET THAT DOG THE FUCK OUTA MY HOUSE!"

Their father yelled walking over to Trinity wobbly. Trinity cried out and jumped running behind Quistis for protection.

"Papa, calm down. It's just a puppy, it barely even has its eyes open. We can't just let..."

"Get it the fuck out! NOW!!"

He yelled at them. Trinity began to cry softly nuzzling her face into the puppy's soft fur.

"Papa please for Trinity..."

Quistis began but was stopped as her father's hand landed on her cheek. She stumbled back in shock, raising her hand to her stinging cheek. Choking back a sob she turned to see her father race towards Trinity his fist clenched in a mad, drunk fit.

"No papa! No please don't!"

Quistis screamed racing towards Trinity throwing herself in front of her to receive the expecting strike from her father.

Surprisingly enough the blow never landed...


Seifer turned down another road dreading the thought of returning to his home, so instead his thoughts turned to his favorite subject of late, Quistis.

He reached for his pack of cigarettes pulling another one out and lighting it quickly. For some reason he couldn't get the uptight blond out of his mind... She was driving him crazy and he had no clue why.

(A/N: When its bold and italicised its Seifer's smart side thinking lol)

'Yes you do.'

Seifer sighed putting the lit cigarette to his lips inhaling the smoke. He exhaled it slowly and ran his unoccupied hand through his hair, remembering her beautiful deep blue eyes, the same eyes that had been filled with such sadness, fear, and embarrassment just a couple of minutes ago.

Why had she been so embarrassed? Did she actually think he would make fun of her? But then... He'd never been nice to her before. Hell, he didn't even like her until... Seifer shook his head trying to stop the thoughts that kept forming in his head.

Why the hell did he care so much? To him Trepe was a fuckin annoyance. A pain in his ass that he would be more than happy to get rid of. Right?

'Yeah, positive.'

He thought to himself.

'Then why do I get so nervous when I'm around her? Why is it that every time she smiles at me I want to take her in my arms?'

'Because you want her, need her, and for some Hyne damned reason you've fallen for her in the last 24 hours.'

'That's impossible.'

Seifer thought arguing with himself.

'Is it?'

'Yes! Quistis isn't my type. She's a good little two shoes and is as uptight as mom is, plus she's always fighting with me.'

'You're the one who always starts it.'

'Yeah only because she's so Hyne damn cute when she's pissed... Oh shit I'm talking to myself again.'

'Yup you're loosing it buddy.'

'Shut the fuck up... wait I just told myself to shut up!'

Seifer sighed again and threw his cigarette out the window.

'Maybe if I listen to some music the annoying voice in my head will go away.'

He thought to himself reaching for the volume button on his radio.

'Wouldn't count on it kiddo.'

Seifer smirked again. Damn he was a jerk even to himself!

I am watching the rise

And fall of my salvation

There's so much shit around me

Such a lack of compassion

He smirked at the song that blared from his radio. Perfect.

He reached for his cigarettes again and his hand brushed against something.

I thought it would be fun and games

(it would be fun and games)

Instead it's all the same

(it's all the same)

I want something to do

Need to feel the sickness in you

He glanced down raising an eyebrow at the mysterious object he had touched. He sighed and rolled his eyes as he realized that Trepe had left her book bag.

I feel the reason, as it's leaving me

No, not again

It's quite deceiving, as I'm feeling

The flesh make me bad

'Guess I better take her damn backpack back to her...'

He quickly did a u-turn causing his tires to squeal. He smirked and stepped on the gas.

All I do is look for you

And when I fix you needed to

Just to get some sort of attention, attention

What does it mean to you?

For me, it's something I just do

I want something

I need to feel the sickness in you

Slowing down he watched as her house came into view. The door was left open and he could see a little girl run to some one.

I feel the reason, as it's leaving me

No, not again

It's quite deceiving, as I'm feeling

The flesh make me bad

He stopped in front of the house and grabbed her backpack. Suddenly his throat tightened and his stomach performed a couple of flip-flops.

'Might as well let the song finish.'

He told himself running his hand through his hair, a nervous habit of his. He barely listened to the music as his heart raced at the thought of seeing her again.

'I'm only here to give her book bag back, not to see her.'

He reminded himself as the song ended. Turning his engine off, he reached for the handle and opened his door gulping hard.

'Pull yourself together damnit.'

He scolded himself clutching Quistis' back pack tightly. Gulping hard he slowly began to make his way towards the door.

'What if me coming here embarrasses her?'

He thought to himself stopping. He glanced down at the bag and then back at the door and smirked.

'Since when have I ever worried about embarrassing some one?'

He continued and began to slowly walk towards stairs.

'Never, except when it comes to Quistis.'

Seifer stopped to ponder this but was brought out of his thoughts when he heard Quistis scream. Dropping the bag he ran up the stairs and opened the screen door just in time to see Quistis run in front of the little girl he had seen earlier and a man he guessed to be her father, raise his fist about to hit her.

Jumping into action Seifer quickly stepped up and grabbed the man's wrist causing the man looked up at him startled. Quistis cringed preparing herself for the blow pushing the little girl behind her.

Seifer growled at the red mark he saw on her cheek and his grip tightened on the man causing him to yelp.

"Who the fuck are you?"

The man asked through clinched teeth. Seifer wrinkled his nose at the strong smell of alcohol on the man's breath and then smirked ready to scare the shit out of the man.

"I dunno, maybe I'm your fuckin worse nightmare."

He said growling at the man ready to inflict twice as much pain on him as he had Quistis.

"Sei... Seifer?"

He heard Quistis ask softly. Reluctantly taking his eyes off the man he held squirming trying to free his wrist from his death grip, to Quistis whose eyes were wide in relief and concern.

"Yeah what?"

Seifer asked her glancing back at the man.

"Please, please let him go."

Seifer stared at her in disbelief.

"But... but he hit you! And was about to do it again!"

Quistis nodded and sighed.

"He can't help it, he's drunk..."

She said lamely glancing down at the ground as tears began to form in her eyes. Seifer taken aback by the tears slowly let the man go.

"Don't you dare touch her again or I'll rip your fucking balls off."

Seifer growled at him glowing with anger and meaning every word he said. The man nodded and stumbled back to his couch grabbing another beer and guzzling it down.

Seifer shook his head in disgust at the man before turning his attention back to Quistis. Taking a step towards her, he reached out his hand to touch her injured cheek, but she stepped away from him.

"Quistis..."

He said softly causing her to stop. She looked up at him her hair falling into her face from her destroyed bun a tear slowly making its way down her cheek. He bent down and brushed his lips up against her cheek, kissing the tear away while the other gently touched her injured one. She gasped and looked up into his dark green eyes startled.

"What... why did you come back?"

She asked her voice quivering. Seifer smirked at her as his hand gently stroked her cheek.

"You left your damned back pack in my car."

Quistis nodded closing her eyes and leaning up against the wall behind her for support.

"Thank you."

She whispered softly causing Seifer's heart to do 20 flip flops. He smiled at her and kissed away another tear that had managed to escape.

Hearing a small giggle, Seifer stepped back from the beautiful girl and looked down at what looked like a miniature version of Quistis. Smiling at her he knelt down and took her hand kissing it.

"Why hello there! And who might this beautiful young woman be?"

He asked teasingly to the little girl who blushed profusely. He frowned as he saw the bruises under her eyes and on her bare arms. He turned back around and glared at the man.

"Did you do this?"

He asked the man venomously. The man's eyes widened in fear and shook his head.

"She got into a fight at school today."

Quistis said softly. Seifer looked at her and then nodded. He looked back at the small girl and winked at her.

"My type of woman, but next time you get into a fight just tell me first and I'll come to your rescue, k?"

The little girl stared at him wide eyed and smiled at him.

"Yes sir! Like my knight in shinning armor?"

She asked shyly, Seifer nodded and winked at her.

"Where's my bag?"

Quistis asked. Seifer looked up at her for a second then motioned to the door.

"Back there. I dropped it on the ground back there."

Quistis nodded and made her way towards the door. Seifer turned back and smiled at the little girl.

"What's your name again?"

"Trinity."

The little girl replied smiling up at him.

"Ok nice to meet you Trinity, member next time you get into a fight call me, k?"

He said placing his hand on her head and ruffling her hair. Trinity giggled and pulled away placing a small puppy on the ground.

"Okies I will and thank you for saving me and sis."

Seifer nodded and hit her playfully on the arm.

"Ok c-ya later kiddo."

He walked towards the door and stopped turning back to glare at the man.

"Remember you touch her and you loose what little pride you have left."

He said with a smirk and walked out the door where Quistis sat on her rail on her porch clutching the back pack tightly to her. Seifer shook his head and walked up behind her

closing his arms around her.

"You ok?"

He whispered softly in her ear causing her to shiver. He smirked at her response and hugged her tighter.

"You hungry?"

She turned in his arms and looked up at him her eyes dazed.

"What is wrong with you?"

Seifer looked at her shocked.

"Wrong with me?"

"Yes, why are you suddenly being so nice? Why did you help me?"

Seifer stepped back from her and ran his hand through his hair again. He shrugged his shoulders and began to walk towards his car.

"My bad. Sorry just thought it would be fun to be nice for once, obviously I made a big mistake don't worry, it wont happen again."

He called back to her as he neared his car.

"Seifer..."

"No. It's fine. Don't worry. I promise I wont be fuckin nice to you anymore Ice Queen. I certainly don't want you to melt, you would be way to damn hard to mop up."

"Seifer..."

"I mean don't worry bout it. I just stopped your psycho dad from beating the shit out of you only because I might actually for some Hyne damn reason actually fuckin like you, I didn't know that being nice would mean there's something wrong with me. Fuck it Quistis."

"Seifer please. I... I didn't mean it."

Seifer turned and snarled at her almost taken back by how close she had gotten since he had begun to yell.

"Don't apologize Trepe, it makes you sound pathetic."

Quistis stared at him tears slowly began to form in her eyes.

"Fuck you Seifer."

She yelled at him turning around and marching back to her house. Seifer reached out and grabbed her arm pulling her back to him.

"Quisty..."

He whispered softly pulling her close to him. She burst out crying burying her head into his chest and wrapping her arms around him.

"I'm sorry."

She choked out.

"I didn't mean it like that... You just scared me because you're usually so mean and cocky."

Seifer smiled into her hair.

"Shhh I know."

He whispered stroking her back softly. When she finally calmed down he pulled back from her and tilted her chin up so she would look up at him. He smiled down at her and brushed her tears back.

"So you hungry?"

Quistis smiled up at him and laughed.

"Yeah you bet."

She said and hiccupped. Seifer smiled at her and opened the door for her.

"Where we going?"

She asked as she got into his car for the second time that day. He smiled at her and winked.

"Oh I think I have a good place for us to go..."
