^I was really worried about him. I think there is too much going on for him to handle.^

"Seifer, you don't look so good, are you sure you're alright?" I asked, looking at his face, which looked pale and tired.
"Yeah, just tired..."
"You should go rest."
"Yeah, but-" The door opened and, in walked Raijin and Toni.
"Hey, Toni, meet me in my room, ya know?!"
"Awright." She walked into our bedroom. Again...?
"Fujin, my best friend in the whole world!" Raijin started. Oh... what does he want now...?
"YES?"
"Can you sleep on the sofa? Just one more night! Toni has people at her house and..." I would have said fine, had Seifer not interupted.
"Hey, who the hell do you think you are?! You can't just kick her out of her own fucking room so you and your slutty girlfriend can go-" I put my hand on Seifer's leg.
"STOP. ARGUE. USELESS. IS FINE. RAIJIN."
"Thanks, man!" Raijin exited. I looked at Seifer, who looked back at me. I shrugged, and shut off the TV, sighing.
"...You shouldn't have done that." He says finally.
"At least they're quiet."
"Heh..."
"Seifer, you should go rest... You really don't look too great."
"Thanks."
"N-no.. Just, you look sick. You need sleep." There I go, screwing up words again.
"Y-yeah..." Seifer stood up and staggered into his room. I was really worried about him. I think there is too much going on for him to handle.
An hour later, I found myself rather tired. I went up to the door to my room, and still heard noises. How long do they...? Ugh. I layed back down on the sofa, but it hurt my neck. Finally, I decided to go sleep with Seifer. He wouldn't mind. I yawned, half-asleep, and walked into Seifer's room. He was sleeping, and I thanked god he didn't snore. I couldn't help but wonder why it was always so cold in that room... I shut a window and climbed into bed, and fell asleep, comfortably.
I woke up late the next morning, around ten. Seifer was still asleep next to me, and I sat up, trying my best not to wake him up. I walked over to the phone, and called him in sick to work. Then I called Raijin, and "ordered" him to work until at least one am. He obliged, thankful for the room I had given him last night. I made coffee, and sit down at the table drinking it, as I always do. Ten minutes later, a noticibly pale Seifer walks into the kitchen.
"You sleep?" He asks, concern and guilt written across his face.
"...Mhm."
"Where? You didn't hurt your neck or anything, did you?"
"...With you. My neck is fine, don't worry."
"Oh..." He poured himself some coffee and sat across from me.
"You feel okay?" I ask.
"Not really... I'm late for work... too."
"You're not going in. I already told them you weren't going." If Seifer was feeling okay, he'd say "You WHAT?!" But, he didn't.
"Oh... thanks... but... we need the money."
"...Raijin will work until one."
"...Okay." He gets up and walks into the bathroom and walks back in with aspirin. He downs them with his coffee.
"You should see a doctor."
"...I'll be fine."
"I have to get the stitches on my arm removed anyway."
"Maybe..." I place my empty mug in the sink, and go take a shower. While rinsing out my hair, I hear the door open. Then gagging. The sink is turned on.
"...Seifer?"
"Ugh..."
"Are you alright?" I shut of the shower, wrap myself in a towel, and step out. There he is, almost as pale as me, brushing his teeth, with a less than pleasent look on his face...
"You are seeing a doctor."
~~~
We got to the hospital, and Seifer went to a doctor, while I got my stitches out. They said the cut on my neck was healing okay, and was not infected, though it would start hurting soon, but not to worry, aspirin should ease some of the pain. And that I was moving around too much, and needed to settle down. Damn doctors; they don't know jack. I didn't blame Seifer for what happened, though I know he blamed himself. It was too bad, really... I walked up to Seifer who was waiting for me in the waiting room.
"How did it go?" I ask him.
"They said I had some kinda stress thing. I have to rest and shit like that. I've got a fever, not too bad though. Heheh, they arranged sick days for me in work. I'll get regular pay, but no overtime, dammit."
"Oh..."
"What'd they say about you?" Seifer asked as we walked home.
"Um, they said... I was fine and all, but I was moving around too much, and the thing would never heal if I didn't settle down... Imbiciles."
"Hm. Told you to stay on the sofa or in bed."
"...I can't just sit there all day! You know that..."
"Yeah, you've got a point... Whoa..." He stopped walking, and knelt on the ground for a minute.
"Are you alright?!" I ask, crouching beside him.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine, just got a little dizzy, that's all..." I help him up, even though it causes my neck to hurt. We get home, and both sit on the sofa.
"Fuu..."
"Mhm?"
"I'm... sorry."
"For what?"
"What happened... with Squall."
"Seifer, its not your fault. Its more mine than yours... for thinking he understood me..."
"...No it isn't. It could have been avoided... If only... I understood you..."
"Oh, stop it. Everything's okay now."
"Mm..."
"And you. This stress sickness you have. You need to calm down, okay?
"Yeah, yeah. I'll try, I'll try..."
After that, everything is silent. There's nothing to do... That is... until Raijin bursts through the door, looking quite upset.
