^She left. I was just too tired, dizzy and discombobulated to get up and stop her.^

"Oh... yeah, I noticed that. I was just really tired." She made her way into the bathroom, and I sighed. Raijin's probably sleeping on the floor in there. I'll get him an extra blanket for Fujin to give him... I took one out of the closet and waited for Fujin. She came out, and looked at me in the darkness.
"Um, you should give this to Raijin."
"No, I believe he is *plenty* warm..." Hm?
"What do you mean? He's on the friggin floor, and he's *warm?*"
"...Hahah... Yeah, Seifer... mhm."
"No, what?"
"...Nothing. I'll take that blanket though, that is... if you don't mind." She reached for the blanket.
"Ahh, sure." I wasn't all to clear as to what she was talking about, but I handed her the blanket anyway.
"Why don't you get a sweater or somethin' on?" I asked, looking at her bare arms.
"...I... don't have one."
"Oh, okay then, I'll give ya one of mine."
"Okay, thanks..." She followed me into my room, and I rumaged through my draw until I found a sweatshirt.
"Here." I handed it to her, and took the blanket, so she could put it on. She looked so little in it, as the moonlight revealed. Fujin smiled, and took the blanket back.
"Why don't you sleep in here? Its too cold to be alone in here." I suggested, realizing that Raijin must be sleeping in her bed.
"A-alright." We got into bed, and soon I could hear her steady breathing of sleep. I felt dizzy, and reached over to my nightstand and grabbed aspirin and water. Damn... I hate this. I guess I finally fell asleep too.
When I woke up the next morning, Fujin was still sleeping. I got up and walked into the kitchen, and seen a note on the table.
"Left. See ya around, ya know?!
~Raijin"
"Left already?" I muttered aloud. The doorbell rang, and I walked over and answered it. It was Joe.
"I brought yer check!"
"Oh, thanks, man." I took the envelope, hoping it would be enough to pay to heating bill.
"How're ya feelin'?"
"I'm feeling better... I'll be back late next week."
"How's um.... ya know, the girl, with the neck-thing?"
"Fujin?"
"Yeah! That's the one."
"She's okay... I think the cut might be infected though... Damn, right on the neck..."
"Ya, that's a dangerous one! ...Well, I gotta get going to work. See you!"
"Bye..." He left, and I walked back inside, and opened the envelope. 1500 gil. Good, that should handle it. I walked into the bathroom and took a quick, cold shower, and dressed in my normal attire, minus the trenchcoat, which I'd have to go get in the kitchen.
"Hey, Seifer..." I turned, and Fujin walked out of my bedroom, barefoot, with my sweatshirt on. She looked cute, for Fujin.
"Hi..."
"Did... he leave?"
"Yes."
"Oh... Well, um, I'm gonna go take a shower..."
"...The water's real cold."
"...Then it'll be a quick shower."
"Heh..." She walked into the bathroom, and I heard the shower start. Sighing, I stepped into the kitchen where I made coffee. It didn't come out too well, because I think I put too much water this time...
"So, you got your check?" Fujin says from the doorway. I look up, and she's holding up the check. Still wearing my sweatshirt, she has on a pair of black pants and boots.
"Yeah... I think it's enough."
"Mhm..." She poured herself the leftovers of my coffee and sat down. I had a really bad headache, and felt dizzy, but not as bad as usual.
"Seifer, did the doctor give you some sort of medication for that...? I mean, you look really pale." I do...? Oh, well, he told me to pick some of it up at the drugstore, but I never did...
"Well, uh, no he didn't give me any, but..."
"But?"
"He told me to go pick it up..."
"Did you?"
"Well, no... but, I don't think...-"
"I'll go pick it up. What's it called?"
"I'll go..."
"What's it called?"
"...Odine stress-ease."
"I'll be back."
"Fuu... I'll go, I'll go..." She left. I was just too tired, dizzy and discombobulated to get up and stop her. I couldn't help but wonder what was causing all of this stress... Was it Fujin? No, its wrong to blame her for this... These thoughts only worsened my headache and dizziness.
While she was gone, I paid the heating, and the heat was turned on. The house warmed up, but, my room remained colder than ever...
"Seifer?"
"In the kitchen." She handed me the pills, and I reluctantly took two with water.
"You pay the heating bill?"
"Yeah..."
"Maybe you should go lie down."
"Alright." I walked into my room and layed on my bed. I couldn't sleep, I had too many things on my mind. I rolled over and groaned at the pain in my head. I needed something to get my mind off of all of this... I pinched m eyes closed, and fell asleep.
~~~
"Seifer! Seifer wake UP!" I could feel her hands on my arm, shaking me. Wha...?
"What?"
"...You were screaming! Are you alright?" Oh... must have been dreaming... I think it was about Squall not really being dead.
"...Yeah... I can't remember what I was dreaming about though... Thanks for waking me..."
"Mhm." She glanced at the floor, then back at me.
"Where are the aspirin?"
"...Right on my nightstand."
"No, they aren't."
"What? That's where I put them..."
"Oh... I'll find them... don't worry."
"Your neck bothering you?"
"Just a little."
"...Mhm..." I stood up, my headache coming back.
"Seifer, what do you think is causing all of this stress? Is it me?"
"I don't think so..."
"Because if I'm causing all this..."
"You're not."
"Yeah, but, I don't see what else could be..."
"Just SeeD or something." Suddenly, I felt excessively dizzy. I looked at Fujin, who looked at me quizically. I needed to steady myself. To get my mind off of things... I kissed her deeply, trying my best not to hurt her neck. Kissing her lifted all of my stress, and I didn't feel dizzy any longer. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her harder, still making an effort not to hurt her neck. At this point, if her neck wasn't so messed up, and her leg didn't have a cut down it, I would have attempted sex. But, that probably wouldn't work anyway, because... well, Fujin is very uptight about that kind of thing... I think. I stopped kissing her, before I couldn't stop, and I know she wouldn't tell me if I was hurting her neck, she'd just let me keep going until it was bleeding. So, I just looked at her.
"Thanks, that helped." I say, smiling slyly.
