When Fuujin woke up the next morning, the first time in a long time she had slept. Seifer was next to her... 'What?! Oh... Oh...!' She suddenly remembered what she did last night.
"Fuuj..." Seifer put his arm over Fuujin. She remembered how many times Seifer had told her he loved her last night. Well, early morning...
"Seifer..."
"I love you..." He reached his head over and kissed her.
"I, I love you too Seifer." She realized her eye patch had fallen off. Her other eye was still there and all, she just couldnt see out of it, it had a cut through it. "Seifer, what time is it?"
"I dunno, it doesnt matter."
"But, dont you have to go to work...?"
"Not if I don't want to." Fuujin smiled as Seifer hugged her gently. Who would have thought she'd be here now...? With Seifer Almasy...? "It looks like you got some sleep, Fuujin."
"Yeah, thanks, Seif."
"Anytime. Heheh, I wouldn't mind if you became a full-blown insomniac at this rate." Fuujin laughed a bit.
"Seifer, its past noon time..."
"It is? We should probably get going then."
"Yeah..." Fuujin got out of bed and got dressed, and turned to see Seifer, who had just finished pulled his shirt on. She reached down to the floor and picked up her eye patch and went to put it on. Seifer walked over to her.
"No..."
"Seifer?"
"Keep it off, Fuujin. For me."
"...People will stare."
"So? They'll just stare at how beautiful you look..." Fuujin didn't take complements to easily, so she just looked at the floor. Seifer took the patch out of her hand and threw it to the side, and kissed her.
They exited the hotel and went on a train to Balamb. When they got there, they went into their house. Sure enough, Raijin was still sleeping. It was 1:45, and he had been asleep since 10pm last night. If you didnt wake him up- he just wouldn't wake up. The phone rang. Seifer went to pick it up.
"Hello?_ Oh, why I'm not in work?_ Because, you see, my house was on fire, because my roommate, Raijin can't cook. So, I had to fix that, but everything is okay now._ Nah, I can't come in now, I have to clean things up over here._Okay. I will._Bye." Fuujin smiled and shook her head. She exited the room, and walked into the bedroom, where she kicked Raijin in the gut, then walked out of the room, grabbing her normal attire out of the closet.
"He'll be up in a minute." And Fuujin walked into the bathroom, to take a shower. When she stepped out of the shower, she began to dry herself off, when someone opened the door. She pulled the towel up instinctivly.
"RAIJIN! LEAVE! FOOL!" Raijin apologized, and stepped out.
"What the hell are you doing, Raijin?!" Yelled Seifer.
"Hey, hey, it was an accident, ya know?"
"Yeah, uh huh!"
"Since when do you care so much about who sees Fuujin naked?! Ya know?!"
"...Hey... I just, want... I mean, everyone should have privacy! Go make me some coffee!"
"Um, okay." Fuujin stepped out of the bathroom, fully dressed, and her pale skin a little red from what Raijin did.
"Seifer, I'm gonna go out, and um, find a job, okay?"
"Man! Ya know?!" They heard Raijin from the kitchen.
"The hell is he doin'?" Seifer walked into the kitchen to see Raijin, and a pot of coffee spilling over.
"RAIJIN! STUPID!" Fuujin walked over, took the pot away from Raijin, and cleaned up the floor. Seifer told Raijin to get a job, and Rajin went out looking for a job.
Fuujin put on another pot of coffee, and sat at the table, waiting for it to finish.
"Fuuj, I'm gonna go shower. See ya." Three minutes later...
"Fuujin! Can ya, er, you get me a towel?!" Fuujin smiled and sighed.
"Sure..." She got up and went into the closet to get a towel, walked into the bathroom, placed it on the towel rack.
"Thanks, Fuuj."
"Mmhmm." She walked out and poured Seifer's coffee in his usual grey mug, and added a teaspoon of sugar, and poured herself some coffee, black. Seifer crossed the hall and entered the bedroom to dress. Fuujin sighed to herself. She wondered where her and Seifer were going with their relationship... Was there even one? Fuujin finished her coffee and stepped out quietly... Where could she go for a job?
Seifer walked out of the bedroom fully dressed, and noticed Fuujin had left. Oh well. He sat down, happy to have a day off, and sipped his coffee. It was perfect, as usual. Fuujin had to have made the best coffee, why would they fire her!? Seifer got upset. Why would they fire Fuujin? Seifer finished his coffee, and wondered what he would do now... Oh, finish the love story he was reading. He had tossed it in Raijins not-returned library book pile, so that no one would know he was reading it...
Raijin walked down to see a help wanted sign at a hot dog stand. Zell was standing there, in all of his glory, eating a hot dog.
"Yo, Dincht."
"Wut up, Raijin?" Zell said between mouthfuls.
"Help wanted, ya know?"
"Yeah, someone has to guard this place while I am at GARDEN and on SeeD missions, ya know? Er, You know.."
"How much it pay...?"
"Well, the people round here like me, so its more or less 100 gil a week per associate!" Zell sounded so official, must have been because he was dealing with hotdogs.
"I'll do it!..ya know?"
"Okay, you have to fill out the hotdog protection form."
"Whats that?"
"Its so that no one steals hot dogs. You must protect them with your life! Oh yeah, you'll be working from 2 to 6." Zell got this serious look in his eye, as Raijin filled out the form.
"okay! My lunch break is ova! Bye!" Raijin sat. 'Oh great..'
As Fuujin walked down the streets of Balamb, there was not one help wanted sign. Her only choice was to cross the waters to Dollet. This was okay, she could just leave with Seifer in the mornings. She got on a boat, and arrived at Dollet. She found a job at a highclass cafe'. They loved her coffee skills, and she was hired on the spot. She would start work on Monday. Two days away.
When Fuujin got home, it was around five pm. Seifer was reading a book.
"Good book?" she asked as she shut the door.
"Uh... yeah."
"Whats it called?"
"Lovely Tale."
"Yeah, I read that the other night. Great ending..."
"Uh huh." He stood up and walked over to Fuujin.
"Seifer?"
"Fuujin, I think we need to talk." Fuujin was scared. For the first time in a long time. What did he have to say?
"Uh, o,okay." He took her hand and sat her on the sofa and he sat beside her. Seifer wasn't like this. He just wasn't...
"Fuujin... Us... was it just one night?" Fuujin paused. What did he mean? Was it one night..? Oh, no, of course not. She had always liked Seifer, she just didn't bring herself to accept it. How could she put these emotions into words?
"No... It was..." Fuujin couldn't say anything now... Everything was quiet. So quiet...
"Fuujin?"
"...Since I met you... I guess... I just couldn't bring myself to think it." Seifer looked at her in a way she had never seen before. It scared her, almost. He just looked so... sincere. He raised an eyebrow, keeping that look in his eyes. Fuujin couldn't look at him in that silence. She felt vunerable, meek. She didn't like that. She cast her eyes down.
"...Fuujin..."
"Yeah...?"
"...I've always loved you..." Fuujin was caught off guard. This was the one thing she hadn't expected him to say. How could she reply?
"Seifer... I never thought..."
"Fuujin... you didn't have to..." Events flashed in Fuujin's mind. Everything her and Seifer had ever done... She held it all so close now. 'How can Seifer be so... passionate... this is Seifer...?' Seifer noticed that Fuujin was a little uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, Fuuj."
"N, no... I just..." Fuujin squirmed in her seat. "Just... really, never expected... forever..."
"Fuujin, its so easy." He reached over and hugged Fuujin, who lightly put her arms around him. 'Seifer... why do you do this to me...?' She thought. He gently planted kisses on her cheeks.
"Seifer..." 'How...?' She never thought she could feel this way... it was all so much... Fuujin moved back to the other end of the sofa, unable to take it anymore. Last night, everything was done absent-mindedly... But now, she was beginning to realize it all.
"Fuujin... is something wrong...?"
"I'm home!" Raijin walked in, and seen them on the sofa. It was a good thing that she had backed away when she did. Fuujin looked up.
"Heh, did you get a job?" Asked Fuujin.
"Well, yeah. 100 gil a week! At Dincht's hotdogs!" Well, Seifer made 1000 gil a week, and Fuujin would make 650, starting Monday.
"Nice..." Said Fuujin.
"Anyway, I'm beat. Goin' ta bed, ya know?"
"Raijin, its 6:15, and you were working at a hotdog stand, how tired can you be?"
"Hey, its the first day I've worked in a while." Raijin headed to the bedroom. Fuujin realized Seifer hadn't made any of his usual wise-cracks, but had stayed silent the whole time, and just stared out the window.
"Seifer..." Seifer looked at her, he looked a little upset, too...
"Yeah...?"
"APOLOGY." Fuujiin covered her mouth. She had done it again-went back to speaking like that. "I, I mean, I'm sorry." Seifer smiled.
"You didn't do anything! I just moved to quickly... Dammit. I'm sorry, Fuujin."
"No..." Fuujin moved closer to Seifer and rested her head on his chest. "I love you, Seifer... That's all... I just didn't think you loved me for that long-if at all."
"How could I not have, Fuujin...? You were always there when I needed you... And I did need you." Fuujin swallowed. He ran his fingers through Fuujin's silver hair. Fuujin always kept her guard up so high... Why? She was afraid of being hurt... But she felt so safe in Seifer's arms...
End Chapter 2.

"Not if I don't want to." Fuujin smiled as Seifer hugged her gently. Who would have thought she'd be here now...? With Seifer Almasy...? "It looks like you got some sleep, Fuujin."
"Yeah, thanks, Seif."

"It is? We should probably get going then."
