Fool in Love

'Hyne, I can't believe that he would do that!' Quistis thought to herself as she was sulking in her seat. 'Doesn't anyone think I can have fun?!' she asked and jumped when the unexpected attendant suddenly came around and asked to see her ticket.
"Sorry about that miss," he said checking her ticket over.
"That's quite all right," Quistis said taking her papers back. "I'm always lost in thought."
"Who isn't? Oh, your friend Mr. Almasy is up at the front," the attendant said but knew he said the wrong thing when Quistis gave him an evil eye and returned to starting at the seat in front of her. "Sorry about that miss."
"You didn't know," Quistis answered.
"Well I figured since you both are SeeDs that you might what to be together but I guess I was wrong," he replied and began towards the next person when Quistis reached a hand out and touched his arm.
"Who is he sitting with?"
"A redhead if I remember correctly. She was rather pretty, pale skin, beautiful figure, great boobs –"
"Thank you for that wonderful picture," Quistis said sarcastically, stopping him short of finishing. He nodded and went on his way. She was disgusted that Seifer was getting all the fun and this was supposed to be her vacation! 'Oh well…' she thought to herself leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes.
Seifer, on the other hand was listening to the redhead who was sitting across from him. To some, he may have looked interested but, in all reality, he didn't really care what this girl was telling him. 'Hyne, why should I care if Quistis hates me or not, didn't she always?' he would ask himself over and over again.
"So anyway…" the redhead continued. Seifer nodded his head and gave an occasional 'oh really' and then his notorious grin. She just needed someone to listen to, and Seifer needed someone to take his mind off of things. Even though he couldn't stop himself from thinking having that beautiful lady sitting there was a frequent distraction.
"There will be food in the dinner compartment in about thirty minutes," an assistant said walking down the aisles of the train. 'Finally, I need some food…'
Quistis was just drifting away in her own thoughts that she didn't hear someone settling into the seat across from her. She was staring out of the window watching the scenery pass by swiftly. "Excuse me miss?" a voice shook her from her dream world and she jumped. "I'm sorry, I was just wondering if this was your bag."
Quistis was sure she was turning a bright crimson color and nodded to the man. "It's all right, I'm just a little…jumpy that's all. And yes, that's mine. I didn't think that anyone was going to be joining me."
"That's all right," the man said, picking up her suitcase and placing it in the overhead compartment. "I'm Leo and you must be Venus right? You look like a beautiful goddess," he said taking her hand and kissing the front.
"That's original," Quistis mumbled under her breath. He smiled and she giggled. "No, the name is Quistis."
"Well it's nice to meet you," Leo said sitting back in his seat across from her, grinning from ear to ear.
"As it is you."
"There will be food in the dinner compartment in about ten minutes," an employee said walking past them and finishing down the aisle.
"How about we do lunch?" Leo asked. Quistis nodded and took the arm that was extended out to her. She smiled as this wonderful and sexy guy was escorting her to the dinner compartment. He was tall like Seifer, but he had hazel colored eyes that were like deep pools. 'I swear you could get lost in those,' she thought. His arms were nice and firm like the rest of his body. He was buff and Quistis had to admit, those rippling muscles turned her on.
Up at the front of the train, Seifer had to excuse himself from the sexy redhead. He was glad to finally get out of there. After a while, instead of her being that beautiful girl sitting across from him, she was the annoying bimbo that sat across from him. He mumbled under his breath and leered at people who even dared to look at him when he was stalking to the dinner compartment.
Once Seifer walked in he looked around for Quistis. 'I would have more fun just arguing with Quistis than it would be to go back to that and listen to her complain,' Seifer thought. He heard Quistis whispering and looked over to his left. There he saw her. She was with a guy, and it wasn't him. Quistis smiled and reached out for her glass of water when she suddenly stopped her actions.
"What is it Quistis?" Seifer heard the man ask her and smirked as he made his way to their table.
"Seifer," she said looking up at his towering form. He stood tall and to most people, he would have been an intimidating man but Quistis, once again, was used to it. "What do you want?"
"Lunch, what else?" he said sneaking into the booth with his ex-instructor. "So who's this?"
"None of your business! And I do not appreciate you just coming over here and interrupting our lunch!" she shouted and someone dropped a plate listening to what she was saying. "Now," she said clearing her throat and lowering her voice, "Will you please leave?"
"Why don't you just say what you really feel," Seifer sarcastically spat and leaned against the booth's leather backing. Quistis rolled her eyes and pushed him out of the seat, ass first onto the floor. "What the hell was that for?!"
"As you would say Seifer…get lost," she declared. Leo had a look on his face like no other and Quistis laughed. "If you could only see yourself," she whispered and became more comfortable with this new person sitting across form her. Seifer on the other hand had gotten up and stormed off out of the compartment. He ordered a sandwich to be delivered to his seat, and even though they usually didn't do special deliveries, they did.

The train ride to Deling wasn't that long but Quistis already felt renewed. She didn't carry any stress and she had made a new friend along the way. A very handsome new friend, as a matter of fact. She knew that she probably wouldn't see him ever again she was able to become comfortable rather quickly.
Then again, Seifer was a massive ball of tension. He had a crick in his neck, his shoulders were tensed up and his ears hurt from listening to Elise, the wonderful and beautiful redhead, talk about all of her womanly problems. As Seifer exited the train, he wished all of his hurt and problems, onto Quistis. He could see her talking to that man Leo, who was helping her with all of her baggage. 'Why should I care? I mean it's not like I'm jealous,' Seifer said sulking off with his bag, and Hyperion, thrown over his shoulder.
Quistis saw Seifer walking away from the train and a little piece of her heart gave out to him. "Thank you Leo," she said taking her bags from him. "It was nice meeting you but I should be going now."
"Are you sure that you don't need any help?" he asked trying to grab for her bag again.
Quistis laughed and pulled away. "No but thank you anyway. They're not too heavy I should be all right by myself," she finished and flashed one more bright smile at him before turning to run after Seifer. "Seifer wait!" she called and he stopped suddenly when he heard her voice calling out to him.
"What do you want Instructor? Do you want to humiliate me again in front on everyone?" he spat continuing at walk off at a very fast speed.
"No I don't but…Seifer slow down!" she called. "I just wanted to apologize. I was angry with everyone because they couldn't even trust me to have fun on my own and I was lashing out at you."
"Well did you ever think that maybe I needed a vacation too?" he asked softly.
"No I didn't. I was being selfish," Quistis admitted.
"Yea well, that's nothing new," Seifer said quickly walking away.
Quistis was shocked and stood still, watching as her ex-student stalked away giving her the same attitude that he always had. She knew better than to apologize because he would have just thrown it in her face. "Asshole!" she called out after him and resumed to walking in a different direction. Even though Quistis couldn't see it and no one knew why he was doing it, Seifer grinned one of his legendary smiles and kept going.

Quistis had just checked into the Galbadia Hotel and was ready fro a nice relaxing nap. Then she figured she would go to the hotel pool and have a swim. Maybe she would go out to eat and then to do some light shopping but right now, after the trip from Balamb to Deling, she was ready for just a slight nap to replenish her strength. "Thank you," she said taking her key for her room that was located on the third floor. "Do you think someone could bring my baggage up to my room?"
"Yes ma'am. I'll send someone right away," the hotelkeeper said.
Quistis nodded and headed for her room. An attendant came around shortly after carrying her bags. She thanked him and sent him off with a small tip. She walked around looking through the bathroom and then the small living room that had a sofa and a chair. The bedroom is what had her stumped. There were bed smaller beds when there should have been one big one. Maybe they had just screwed up on her room, so she went to changing her clothes and slipped into an oversized white tee and pulled her hair free of it's prison atop her head.
Quistis was just about to pull the sheets back when someone knocked on the door. 'I wonder who that could be…' she asked herself slowly padding across the faded red carpet in her bare feet. She opened the door only to slam it shut again. "What do you want Seifer?" she scream through the door.
"Well unless you're in the wrong room, this is my room too," he said placing his key in the hole and turning it so that the door unlocked and Quistis was pushed aside. "Looks like we're going to be bunking together," he replied, walking into the room and placing his things down upon a bed.
"What?!? I never agreed to this!" she shouted to the attendant who was holding up one of Seifer's bags.
"I'm sorry miss but you'll have to take this up with the hotelkeeper. I have no control over who stays in your room when he was given the same key as you," he said placing the bag down, and nodding to Quistis and Seifer.
"I cannot believe this," she mumbled under her breath. "I don't have time to go and complain now, so just keep to your own bed and I'll stick to mine," Quistis spoke to the man unpacking his things.
"No problem Quisty," he answered. "I'm going out so don't worry about me bothering you."
"Thank you," she said sitting down in her bed and watching as he came closer to the door. "Oh and Seifer could you possibly do me a favor and not bring your whores back to the room please?" she calmly asked before sliding into her bed and closing her pale blue eyes.
"Bitch," he murmured and slammed the door shut behind him.
A/N: I hope this chapter was better. I actually had fun writing it! *winks* Please ~*R&R*~ it helps a lot. Seifer and Quistis sure seem to be having a lot of problems and no matter what they do, for some reason they always end up together…now why is that? *evil grin* Chapter 4 on it's way!!
