Authoresses Note: Well it seems a lot of people do want me to continue this...So here is the third chapter and all the characters belong to Square...Oh and one more thing...I DO know that there is no 'laundry room' in FF8 But this is my fic so presto chango...now there is is!

Loving You

Quistis nervously walked towards the laundry room trying to hide the fact that she was carrying men's clothes. 'Dang it! What about his shirt?' Quistis thought as she looked down at the remains of Seifer's shirt. She entered the laundry room, started the machine and put Seifer's clothes inside.

After she was finished she looked around at the donation table. She finally found a shirt that would fit Seifer's muscled frame and placed it in the wash with the others. She continued to look and found a few pairs of pants and shirts.

MEANWHILE...

Seifer's heart continued to race as Squall knocked on the door again. When he heard footsteps walk away he sighed with relief. He looked at her dresser and walked over to it. He saw a small rock split down the middle and smiled as he opened it. He saw shiny crystals inside. He remembered that treasure hunt so long ago at Matron's....

FLASHBACK
"Today we're having a treasure hunt outside," Matron had told the excited bunch. Everyone ran outside but Quistis, "I never find anything anyway Matron," Quistis had told her Matron with a small fake smile. "I'll stay here with you Quisty," Matron had told her as they sat down and played games. "Poor Quisty," Selphie had said with one of her sad frowns.

Seifer looked around and saw a small rock. He hadn't found anything so in his anger he picked it up and threw it at a tree. It split open so he went to look at it. Inside was the most beautiful crystals Seifer had ever seem. 'I don't like jewels,' He had thought as he ran back with the others. They all showed Quisty their stones and small treasures.

That night Seifer lay awake; he couldn't forget the sad look on Quisty's face so he tiptoed out of the room and left the crystals on her nightstand.

The next morning everyone woke to Quisty's excited squeal. When the boy's came in to the girl's room they saw Quistis showing everyone her treasure. "Oh! Who left this?" Quistis asked asked looking for a note. "No note...I'll keep this forever," Quistis had said with a very happy smile.

END OF FLASHBACK

He smiled; she had never even guessed it was him. He looked at the other objects on her dresser, he saw a dried up flower Matron had given he before she left but that was about it.

Just then the door burst open to reveal Quistis and her bundle of clothes. She handed him the bundle and he went and changed into his new clothes. "Where did you find the extra clothes Quisty?" Seifer asked unaware that he had used her childhood nickname. She looked up started to hear Seifer use her nickname. "The donation table," she answered. "So what am I going to do all day?" Seifer asked looking around. "You can read my books or make yourself useful," Quistis said as she led him into the living room. He walked over to the bookshelf and noted with a smile that most of them were romances. "I think I'll polish my gunblade," Seifer said taking out his old shirt.

Quistis left and soon Seifer was done polishing his gunblade. He looked around for something to do and found Quistis's Save the Queen and started to polish that. Soon he was done with that too and he started to search again. He looked under her bed and saw a small blue book. He took it into the light and smiled this was something he could have fun with. It was Quistis's diary. He opened it and started to read. He learned a lot about Quistis just in those thirty minutes than he had in all his years as her student.

He stuffed the book under her bed as she came in. He showed her the Save The Queen, he seemed to want her approval so she smiled at it, "Good job Seifer," She told him as she placed her whip on her dresser. Quistis stayed up for a while and Seifer sat down and read the novels.

"Good night Seifer," Quistis said as she turned out the lights. "Ga-night Quisty."
