Author's Note- Well, Ka needed help. ^_^ I'm just the guy to do it. *laughs* yeh, me... helping someone... heheh. Well, of course we write differently, so you'll notice changes in style. ^_^ I'll try my best to help co-write this fic to make it what she intends.

Seifer pulled back slowly and looked down at her quivering body. She seemed so frail and tiny in his arms, he hated to feel cliché, but she was like a rose. Their eyes met and he smiled at her, forgetting his rough attitude he usually showed.
Quistis was amazed at his boldness. It held her in place, frozen with suprise, yet freed her mind. She felt happier then she had in a long time. Quistis pulled him close and rested her cheek against his chest. The tears in her eyes couldn't be held back, and she cried; sobbing uncontrollably on him.
Not wanting to spoil the moment, he didn't push her away or become indignant as he usually would have. He patted her head in an almost petting motion to calm her. Other then that, he couldn't think of what to do.
"Why are you doing this to me? Playing with my emotions... arr! I can't stand it!" She lightly hit his shoulder with her fist, angered but weak. Seifer was almost shocked. Sure he had been snide and sarcastic towards her in the past, but not now.
"I'm not... I'm comforting you. Is it hard to believe that *I* care?" He sounded hurt at her lack of confidence in him.
"You... care?"
"I actually do. Jokes are one thing. Hurting your feelings is something totally different." Seifer's voice ended in a whisper, making it sound like this was a big secret.
"For once, thank you Seifer Almasy... thank you." Quistis pulled his neck down, and kissed him, her tongue licking his lips. She started crying again. The rain was everywhere, it engulfed their bodies. They were wet and cold, but didn't care. For some reason being next to each other was enough for them. Quistis turned her head sharply and coughed hoarsly.
Seifer looked at her and frowned. "You're catching a cold already. We better go inside. I don't want you getting sick." He took her hand in his, and walked inside, she followed. Hand in hand (an odd thing to see, especially for some of the younger students), Seifer and Quistis strolled down the halls of the Garden.
Quistis felt a little odd, being so close to him. His attitude had changed so suddenly, not to mention her's. She wondered why this was, but dismissed the thought, not wanting to over analyze the situation. Water dripped from their clothes, and two pairs of shoes clicked against the polished marble surface beneath the two's feet. They approached the central hall, and walked north, towards the Dormitory.
She felt a little panicky, wondering if she should let him come in to her room. His room, afterall, was pretty far away. Quistis decided to play things out, everything would be fine. Her grip on his hand tightened, and she turned towards him and smiled. "I don't want to be alone anymore," she thought silently, "No more bottling myself up. I'll be myself."
Seifer thought similarly, with his own attitude added to himself, "I can't believe how hot she is, I never took the time to notice." He chided his thoughts. "No. Not only going to care about her body. Her mind is amazing too..." Seifer snapped out of it when Quistis coughed again, and sneezed, covering her nose. He lifted her face towards his and wiped her nose with a soft tissue he held in his pocket.
Quistis couldn't control her laugh. This was so unlike him. And herself, she was reminded subconciously. Seifer tucked the tissue back into his long jacket's pocket, and they continued walking, reaching the door to her room. She fumbled around the keychain at her waist, and unlocked the door with the key. Her body ached, she was tired. Seifer could tell it from her eyes, they were weary.
"Go get changed out of those wet clothes, Quistis. You'll feel better that way."
"Don't treat me like a baby now!" They bothed laughed, her voice had become a squeak by the end of her statement on accident. The tinier woman walked into another room, and closed the door behind her. Most likely the bedroom, thought Seifer with a smirk. He decided it was best to get some of these wet clothes off his own body. Still standing at the door way, he took off his gray jacket and tossed it onto the ground. It made a loud plop noise as the wet material hit the surface. Clutching one foot, he took off his right, then left boot, and placed them next to the coat. Somewhat cautiously, he slipped off his pants, and threw it ontop of the jacket. The only dry clothes he had still were his boxers and black shirt. Seifer sat down on the loveseat in the corner of her living room, noticing her Dorm was much larger than a normal one. Most likely because she is an instructor.... was an instructor, he corrected himself.
At this time, Quistis opened the door slowly and walked in. Her expression showed her amusement of Seifer, sitting there in his shirt and undergarment; his hair falling down around his eyes from the water. She pulled her light pink robe around her tighter, and walked over to him.
"Well, I was going to say that you could stay the night, since it's such a long walk back to your room, ut you seem to have already decided that." Seifer chuckled and stretched a little.
"Goodnight then, I'm going to bed. You can sleep in here." He agreed to Quistis' statement, and laid back farther on the loveseat. She turned off the light, and closed the door behind her as she stepped into her bedroom. Quistis hung her robe up, and slipped underneath the covers of the blankets. She became restless, and tossed and turned in the sheets, before finally getting up. Slipping the robe back on, she walked in to the living room and saw Seifer sleeping peacefully.
She laughed and smiled to herself. "He's such an angel at times." Quietly and deaftly, she sat next to him on the loveseat, and rested her head on his stomach. Quistis closed her eyes, and kept time with his breathing rate. Her mind was at peace, with him being close to her. Soon, she fell asleep there.
