Fool in Love
By: Goddess001
That night couldn't have gotten any better but somewhere along the way, it did. They didn't really do anything during the night but at about twelve in the morning, Quistis hit Seifer over the head with a pillow and scooted him over to make room for herself. At first, Seifer didn't know if she was sleepwalking or not but then when she curled up into a ball and snuggled closer to his chest, he really didn't care. He wrapped his arms around her and sleep had soon enough, taken over him as well.
Quistis woke up that morning with her legs entwined with Seifer's and she heard him softly snoring. She smiled and wondered if they would wake up like this every morning. She wiggled closer to him and kissed his nose. He groaned and grunted shaking his head like there was a fly on his nose. Quistis laughed and kissed him again. This time he opened his eyes to see a blonde beauty staring at him with blue eyes. "Good morning," she said.
"Now it is," he replied and tightened his arms around her tiny waist.
"Seifer?" she called and he raised his eyebrows. She giggled and tried to squirm out of his embrace. "Don't you want some breakfast? I don't know about you but I'm awfully hungry."
"No," he whispered and placed his hot lips on hers. Quistis couldn't help but give in, so she sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the happy couple. "Damn," he whispered. "Just ignore it," he said returning to her lips.
"We can't just ignore it!" she said acting furious. She couldn't help but laugh. She leaned back laughing and then, just like that she was on the floor, which in turn made Seifer laugh. They were both holding their sides and almost to the point of crying. They slowly calmed down and then banging on the door got louder. "Maybe we should get it," Quistis said leaning against the nightstand.
"I'll get it," he said getting up from bed and offering her a hand. She gladly took it because she didn't think that she would be able to do it by herself. Seifer padded across the carpet in his boxers and no top. Quistis was about to scold him when she noticed just how fine he looked without a shirt on. "What do you want?" Seifer asked the attendant who was standing in front of the door with what looked like a piece of paper.
Quistis couldn't help but giggle, but she didn't want to be heard so she covered her mouth. "Seifer stop being mean," she called pulling her hair back into a loose ponytail.
"Um, sorry, but I have a letter for a Miss Trepe. It came in the morning mail so I decided I should probably bring it up," the nervous attendant said shakily. Seifer made a face and rolled his eyes letting Quistis take over.
"Don't mind him," she said taking the letter. "He's not a morning person. Thank you though for delivering it personally," she said slowly shutting the door. "Good bye." He nodded and walked off down the hall. "Why do you have to be so mean?" Quistis asked inspecting the letter. It didn't look like a letter from the Garden and there was no return address on it. She shrugged and tossed it on the coffee table. "So what would you like for breakfast?"
Seifer came over to her and sat down on the couch looking at the menu room service and provided. "You should leave it down," he said unconsciously. He scanned the menu and pointed to what he wanted.
"What?" she asked not noticing what he pointed to at all.
"Your hair," he said closing his eyes and turning on the television. "Leave it down."
"Oh," Quistis blushed and pulled the rubber band free of her hair. "So um, what did you want again?"
"Don't you ever pay attention woman?" he asked showing her again what he wanted.
"What was that?!?" Quistis asked pretending to be outraged. She knew that he didn't mean it and just playing along with his act. For some reason his badass attitude just turned her on even more.
"I said…" and Quistis grew wide-eyed. She couldn't believe he repeated it. She laughed and threw herself at him. Pillow in hand, she sat straddling him on the couch and began her torture with the pillow. She never did have many pillow fights but over the years she had grown very good at them. Especially when she had a girl's day out and her Selphie, Xu, Rinoa and even Fujin would all get together and watch a movie in someone's dorm. Somehow, the day always consisted of a pillow fight.
"Hey that's not fair!" Seifer called trying to grab the pillow from her. Feathers flew everywhere and their screaming at each other didn't help the fact that people had come out of their rooms to find out what was going on. One of them even thought that someone was being murdered.
A knock on the door, once again interrupted their fighting. Seifer had somehow turned got the pillow from Quistis and he was now straddling Quistis hitting her with it. They stopped and looked at each other. Seifer got off of her and walked to the door. "Hurry back sexy," she said teasingly and Seifer was going to kill whoever dared to knock on the door now. He looked and saw a very old woman standing there.
She poked her head again Seifer's massive frame and saw Quistis sitting on the couch with her hair all about her and feathers all over the floor. "I'm sorry young man but we thought that…that something was happening in there."
"That's okay," he said trying hard not to sound annoyed. He gave a grin and slammed the door shut.
"Seifer that was rude of you! What did she want?" Quistis asked from the couch.
"Oh nothing much," he replied and pounced on Quistis. She screamed and the old lady walked back over to her friend and the other people that had gathered out to see what was wrong.
"It's nothing Edna dear. They were just having a little pillow fight," she replied and they all nodded returning to their rooms. They might have been old but they still knew what a 'pillow fight' meant.

The day went by fast and Quistis had to admit that she had a good time. They had breakfast brought up to them and after that they went out on the streets of Deling. She couldn't remember the last time she walked along those busy sidewalks or those traffic-jammed streets. It must have been…when they came to murder Edea. Quistis shook, remembering what they we going to do. The past was not something she liked to think about much.
Then they went back to that little club called the White Rose and watched Jules do an outstanding performance. Once they got back to the hotel Seifer flopped down onto his bed and threw his arm over his eyes. It was twelve o'clock and frankly, he was tired. The day had been long and being out on the sidewalks of Deling slightly reminded him of…what had happened. It took a lot to keep himself under control and when Quistis shook slightly in his arms he knew that she was probably thinking the same thing.
"Tired already?" Quistis asked sitting down on the couch. The feathers were still on the floor.
"Is that an invitation?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Not yet," she said. "Aren't the maids supposed to clean this up?" Quistis asked picking up a small white feather from the coffee table. She noticed the letter that she never opened that lying neatly on the floor almost next to her feet. She picked it up and looked to Seifer. He was already asleep. She walked over to him and lightly kissed his head. Quistis turned on the lamp that stood on the nightstand. She opened the letter that was tucked neatly inside. It was from Leo.
Quistis let out a long sigh. 'I have to tell him. I owe that to him at least,' she thought. She walked over to the closet and grabbed her red coat that hung there next to Seifer's long gray one. She let out another little sigh and opened the door slowly so that it wouldn't creek as loud and then she left. Seifer heard the door shut even if Quistis didn't know it.

Quistis didn't know if she should drive all the way down to the beach or just go to the park that Leo had mentioned in his letter. She wouldn't drive an hour to find that he wasn't there. If he wasn't at the park then that was his fault and she could admit to herself that at least she tried to tell him. So with her mind made up, she drove to the park.
Surprisingly, she saw Leo sitting on a bench with what looked like a bottle of champagne as his company. 'Could her possibly that torn up about it?' Quistis asked herself while she carefully stepped out of the rental car. "Leo?"
"Quistis! I knew that you'd come!" he said standing up and rushing to her.
"Have you been here ever since ten o'clock?" she asked. He nodded in response. "Why?"
"Because I knew you'd come!" he said. "Even if I had to wait for three hours to see your beautiful face I would! You don't know it now, but if you came to see me you must love me too!" Leo exclaimed taking her hands in his.
Quistis was becoming rather scared that Leo was maybe just a little bit too obsessed. The Trepies at the Garden never bothered her much because they didn't have enough courage to even talk to her let alone get a little rough. "Leo I have to tell you something. I don't love you that way, I barely even know you for Hyne's sake! I'm in love with someone else. It's Seifer."
"No," Leo mumbled. "You can't possibly love him! You're choosing him over me?!?" he asked. Quistis was becoming rather afraid as he inched closer to her. she nodded and took a step back only for Leo's arm to encircle her waist. "I'll show you," he said crashing his lips onto of hers. Quistis was astonished and didn't move. But once things began to register in her mind, her placed her hands on his chest and tried to push him away. They didn't notice the pair of green eyes that watched them and then stalked off into the night with his trench coat blowing behind him.
