~ Life isn't what it seems, until you reach the very end. ~


Seifer watched them from the darkness, his mouth curling into a snarl. Those fucking faggots. They dare mess with me like this?! The plan to use Selphie was a complete stroke of genius, but it hadn't affected Irvine as much as it would have if
he had really loved Selphie. And now, there they are, practically fucking. Those damn queers. Seifer of course was blowing this whole situation out of proportion. Irvine and Zell were expressing themselves in a way where their frustrations could be

released. It was lovely. Anyone, who might've passed them by, may have regarded them with a look of disgust, but they obviously couldn't understand.

The kiss ended and Zell's eyes flew open, embarrassment flooding his cheeks, as he watched Irvine wink at him. Zell blushed harder and stepped out of his arms. Sure he had wanted this, very much, but maybe they could've done it somewhere
more private. He glanced around, very flustered, avoiding Irvine's searing gaze.

"Zell? I'm sorry."

Zell's head turned quickly and he noticed one solitary tear roll down Irvine's flawless skin. His cowboy friend was apologizing for something that had been remarkable and completely satisfying for both of them from what Zell could tell. He carefully

picked out the best words he could find to respond to his dear friend.

"Irvine, I can't tell you, how much that meant to me." The short blonde stroked the brunette's cheek with the back of his hand. The cowboy glanced down at Zell, noticing the smile in those lovely blue eyes.

"Zell, I don't really understand. I thought I had ruined what we had together. Zell, I never want to do that, ever."

Zell smiled, "You could never do that no matter how hard you tried."

"That's what you think."

Both of them raised their heads towards the voice that came from the shadows. Seifer strode out, smirking as he raised his hand.

"I've had it with you two queers, and what you just did was so fucking disgusting. Oh well." He released a spell from the tips of his slim fingers.

The last thing Zell and Irvine saw was a bright flash of light.

Then darkness.
