Disclaimer:I do not own FF8 or it's characters. If I did then I wouldn't feel obligated to write about them.
Oh yeah. 'Here's to the Night' belongs to Eve 6,so I don't take credit for that either.
So denied
So I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
Seifer Almasy hung in the shadows of the "We Killed Ultimecia!" ball, sipping absently on a glass of wine. He knew that he shouldn't be there, he didn't know why he was there in the first place. All Seifer knew was that when Balamb Garden flew by him after his mind was released from Ultimecia's clutches, that he had to get aboard. And so he did. Almasy always finds a way.
Cid Kramer had discovered him soon after, demanding an explanation. However, he was already a little boosted up on alcohol, and Seifer used this to his advantage. Somehow, he wheedled Cid into letting him stay for the ball.
"Seeing as there is no longer threat, you may stay for the night. However, you will not be allowed onto the Garden premises from tomorrow on. Understood?"
Seifer nodded, and Cid started to walk away. However, he had one last thing to say.
"You may want to take the time to make amends with Squall and his friends." Seeing the nasty look on Seifer's face, he added: "You did grow up with them, after all. Remember that."
With that, Cid walked into the ballroom. Seifer followed.
At the celebration, Seifer was incredibly bored. He also really regretted coming at all. Now he remembered why he hated these damn things so much when he was a student. Boring hellholes.
Surprisingly enough, nobody noticed him. Most were busy dancing, spinning around aimlessly under the stars. So pointless.
He started to scan the room for familiar faces. He recognized the girl in the short yellow dress, bouncing around happily with a camcorder. What was her name again? Oh yeah. Selphie. Oh well, at least that's one familiar person.
The crowd parted, and Seifer noticed what the petite girl was taping. It was the tall cowboy. Seifer rolled his eyes. 'Figures'
But next to the cowboy, someone caught Seifer's attention. Why, if it wasn't his former Instructor! This might be worth it, after all.
Seifer watched carefully, still holding his almost empty glass of wine. Irvine was clearly drunk, and when he noticed the camera he put on a cheesy grin and draped his arm around Quistis. Seifer snorted. 'Pathetic'
He chuckled as Quistis rolled her eyes and walked away. It almost made him feel sorry for the cowboy. Well, not really. He chuckled some more.
His eyes followed the blonde instructor as she made her way over to the headmaster. Seifer, for some reason, always loved to watch her walk. With good posture, yet a little bit of confidence in her stride as well. He had always liked his teacher. Not in that way. 'But hell, she is pretty attractive...'
In a day
And a day, love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing
To be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Quistis made small talk with the headmaster, when Irvine came up beside her. She liked Irvine, but not when he was drunk. His breath was just nasty combined with alcohol. Cid's breath wasn't too pleasant either. She tried to suppress a giggle when Edea came over to help her staggering husband stand. With respect to the former sorceress, Quistis bowed her head slightly. Irvine, on the other hand, removed his hat and made an exaggerated bow to his Matron, who, in return, smiled.
When Irvine once again noticed Selphie taping him, he staggered over, put his hat on her head and took control of the camera. The petite girl skipped happily over to her friend, and was in a happy mood until she noticed her boyfriend swerve the camera ever so subtly over to three pretty girls in short skirts. She stomped away from Quistis, placed her hands on her hips and blocked Irvine's view. She glared at him, and shrilly exclaimed "Irvy!"
"What is it,babe?"
* * *
Quistis had sneaken away carefully from her friends' impending fight. She looked for an escape, and found it in Zell. She walked over to the table, where his girlfriend, the library girl, was staring dreamily at him as he stuffed his face full of hot dogs. Selphie also stomped over, still sore at the fight with Irvy.
As Quistis was in the middle of congratulating Zell (whose responses were "mmm" "gulp" "gurgle" "belch'') he starting choking. Selphie, not really knowing what to do, tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
Someone snickered quietly, but arrogantly, from behind them. Quistis' ears perked up quickly. That sounded just like....
* * *
The soft breeze combined with the beauty of the stars made the night perfect. Rinoa Heartilly leaned on the balcony rail, contentedly, with Squall right beside her. Suddenly, a shooting star made its way across the sky, lighting up both pairs of eyes.
Smiling a suggestive smile at Squall, Rinoa extended her index finger lightly at the sky.
Oh dear Hyne!! Squall smiled back at the raven haired girl beside him. The smile actually reached his eyes, lighting up his face more than any shooting star could. With that expression he looked...almost like a normal teenager.
Squall took a step back, and lightly grabbed Rinoa's pale hand in his gloved one. He pulled the girl, who was taken quite aback in surprise, towards him...
"Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!" Selphie trilled, jumping up and down and pointing to the balcony. "Irvy! Hurry and tape this!"
Quistis was also watching with interest as Squall wrapped his arms around Rinoa and kissed her deeply. She never would have thought he had it in him. However, even as she kept her reserved smile, it felt like her heart was sinking down into her stomach. Selphie just sighed dreamily, and turned to her boyfriend.
"Irvy! Did you tape that?!"
The angle at which Irvine was standing was simply impossible to fit both Rinoa and Squall into the screen.
"I don't get it, Sefie! First you yell at me for taping those three chicks, but then you get me to get Rinoa's ass on film?"
"WHAT?! Oh, Irvy..." Selphie sobbed. She wasn't sure if she should be more upset at the fact that Irvine didn't get "the KISS" on camera, or the fact that he thought that he was supposed to be taping Rinoa's ass...
Seifer was mildly amused at Selphie's outburst, but became distracted as Quistis bumped right into him, sobbing silently. She had spilled his remaining wine all over his trench coat. And what was worse, she didn't even apologize, or look up at him. She just continued on, out the doors of the ballroom. This was not the sophisticated, reserved Instructor that Seifer had known. Without thinking, Seifer simply followed her, ignoring the gasps of onlookers who noticed him after he finally stepped out of the shadows.
Here's a toast
To all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Quistis Trepe was heading to the dormitories, face covered by her hands, trying to stop the tears from running down her face. She never even noticed the heavy footsteps only a few feet behind her.
* * *
Quistis ran into her dorm and locked the door behind her. She immediately collapsed on her bad, sobbing into her pillow.
She had thought she was over Squall. She really did. But seeing him kissing someone else...well, it just shattered her heart. Perhaps because it was she now knew for sure that there was no chance. Before, though the chance was minimal, it was still there...but now it was gone. And with it went her hopes.
Everybody was paired off except for her. Rinoa had Squall. She tried to not hold a grudge against Rinoa, since the girl was so damn friendly and nice. It's not like she intentionally ripped the heart from Quistis' chest.
Then, there was Selphie and Irvine. Now there was a pairing that was full of problems. 'But at least it's a pairing'
Even Zell had somebody. The little pig-tailed librarian. Quistis had really only talked with the girl once or twice, but she seemed nice enough. She was happy for Zell, of course, but that left her as the only one alone...
Knock, Knock, Knock
'Oh great. Just what I need. Visitors. Maybe if I just ignore it they'll go away.'
Knock, Knock, Knock
'Or maybe not. Just my damn luck.'
"Who is it?!" she called, voice muffled by the pillow.
"Quistis, it's me," a husky voice answered. ....Seifer?!! "Will you hurry the hell up and open the door before someone catches me out here?"
Quistis scrambled out of bed, wiping her wet cheeks, and praying she didn't look too bad. Wait a second....what in the HELL is Seifer Almasy doing back here?
She ran to the door, unlocked it, and yanked Seifer inside, all in under three seconds. She fumbled with the lock again to make it go back into place.
She then turned to face her guest, crossing her arms and frowning slightly. Seifer gave his trademark smirk. She was giving him the same look she always did during detention, way back when. Ah, fond memories.
"Okay, Seifer. I'll go about this calmly. What are you doing back here at Garden? Moreover, why did you come to MY dorm room?"
Put your name
On the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay
Not to go
I wanna ditch the logical
"Well Instructor. I guess it's just 'cuz I missed you so much," Seifer replied, giving Quistis a winning smile. In return, she just sighed and shook her head.
"I'm afraid I'll have to report this to the headmaster..."
"Oh come on Quisty. I know you're not a snitch. Besides, he already knows that I'm here."
"Oh?"
"Yeah."
"So, you will be staying in Garden again?" She asked, feeling hopeful, although she knew it would not be good for Seifer. Even though what happened wasn't his fault, most blamed him. She had blamed him, also. But seeing him again, here in front of her, without the evil glint in his eye, she was just happy. For the time being, she even forgot about Squall.
"Well...not exactly."
"...oh."
"Yeah. Cid caught me sneaking into Garden..."
"Yeah, how'd you do that anyway?"
"Long story. (that the author has no idea about...) Can I finish?"
"Oh. Sure."
"Okay, so Cid caught me, and he was pretty boozed up. Pretty funny actually. I wonder how he ever came to be respected so much," Seifer said, chuckling slightly. "Well, since he was drunk, I guess he was in a good mood. So he let me stay for the party, but I had to agree to get my pitiful ass out of here by tomorrow. So that's what I did. I was bored until Chicken-Wuss started choking to death...heh, I've missed making fun of that guy. Well, Instructor, that's my story."
"Please stop calling me your Instructor. That still does not explain what you are doing in my dorm room."
"Well, Quisty, as you made your grand exit, you ran straight into me. You also made me spill wine all over my coat," he replied, gesturing to his faithful grey trench coat, and making a pouting face.
Seifer became serious, however, when he saw Quistis' downcast face and the tears that were again welling up in her eyes.
"Hey...what's the matter Quistis? Broken heart?"
Here's a toast
To all those
Who hear me all too well
Quistis, without warning, fell against Seifer's strong chest and sobbed quietly. Seifer was surprised, but got over it quickly.
He pulled her trembling frame closer, stroking her hair softly, resting his chin gently atop her head. He suddenly felt...complete. He never expected Quistis, of all people, to fill the hole in his heart. He wished that he could stay there forever...he could never tire of this. For the first time since Edea had taken over his mind, Seifer felt alive. Happy.
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Quistis felt secure, being held in Seifer's strong arms. Also, she felt something that she hadn't in a long time. She felt what she had when she first realized her crush on Squall. The fluttery, almost nauseous sensation.
The tears were still rolling down her cheeks, but were now there for a different reason. She loosened the embrace a bit and stared up, into Seifer's concerned eyes. She never really noticed them before. Perfect sea green orbs, ones she could lose herself in forever. She smiled softly, and slumped back to Seifer's chest, enjoying the feel of his fingers through her hair.
"Seifer...?"
"Mmm?"
"Do you remember...when we were younger?"
"You mean..in the orphanage?" Seifer replied, his happy voice becoming somewhat bitter.
"Good...you do remember...do you recall..."
All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
After awhile, the two sat side by side on Quistis' bed. She laid her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes, losing herself in memories. Seifer wrapped an arm protectively around her waist, and remembered lost times with her.
Hours passed by quickly, and both were surprised at how close they had come to be. Not long ago, they had been bitter enemies. Before that, they had been teacher and student, both trying to outwit the other. But...even before that? How had they been then?
* * *
"C'mon Quisty! I'll race yoo back ta Matwon's house!"
"Yoo'll never win! I've been twaining hard 'cause Matwon said I'm gonna be a SeeD one day! So there!"
"That's what yoo think!"
* * *
Here's a toast
To all those
Who hear me all too well
"...We were so stupid, Quistis."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that. I thought we were quite cute actually."
Seifer turned to look at Quistis' tranquil face. She was so...beautiful. Not even Rinoa could compare to her. He bent down, bringing his face closer and closer to hers...
"Seifer...what are you doing?"
"Shut up."
And with that, he claimed her ready mouth, feeling that damn happy glow again. He felt her smile under his kiss, felt her kiss him back.
'I bet even Squall couldn't kiss like this...'
Quistis had no problem with Seifer staying the night. She wouldn't mind having him over the next night either. Or the next. Hell, he could stay there forever as far as she was concerned. But Seifer knew that he would have to leave the next day, whether he wanted to or not.
He wasn't too concerned, though. Love always found a way, right?

Authors Notes:Sorry that the ending came out so rushed. I meant to put more effort into it, really I did. But it's getting late and I need some rest.
