**Disclaimer is on the first chapter. me too lazy to write another one. Tee hee ^_^**

Seifer woke early in the morning, hours before his alarm clock would even think about ringing. He glanced at the neon- green numbers on his clock; it was three o' clock in the morning. Seifer had made flight arrangements to Dollet, because Balamb didn't have an airport. He would take a boat from Dollet to Balamb, where he would rent a car and go up to the Garden, where he heard from Fujin that he was headmaster.

Not tired at all, Seifer jumped out of bed, excited to be alive for once. He went into the tiny bathroom and turned the hot water on in the shower. He jumped in immediately, grateful for the warm liquid beating against his stressed skin. He was nervous. This would be the first time he had seen Squall in. two years.

Seifer was twenty years old now. Squall was twenty, too. He wondered if he had changed in appearance at all. the shower.

**FLASHBACK**

The fifteen year old Seifer's emerald eyes flicked open as the sound of the door slamming echoed throughout the locker room in Balamb Garden. He had spent most of his Saturday evening destroying grats. It was now nine at night, he was supposed to be heading back to his dorm by now, but he really needed to shower. So, the hot water was running, and it was pounding against his sore back and arms. The showers were open, to that meant someone was going to see him naked. Seifer had taken group showers before, but he had just kept his eyes on himself and the white tiles that made up the floors and walls.

Seifer hurriedly started to scrub himself fast but stopped when he heard his voice:

"Seifer? You in here?"

It was Squall. He was okay. He slowed his pace and put the soap bar down.

"I'm in here. come and get me. if you dare." Seifer couldn't help but challenge his lover of six amazing years.

"Is that a challenge, my love?" Squall inquired.

"Well, it just might be, honey"

"I'm up for it. now I hear water running. could this mean you're in the shower? And you want lil' ol' me to see your naked body for the first time in my life???" Squall said with mock shock.

"Gasp! Me! Nude! Hyne forbid! Get over here Squall, so I don't have to get out and drag you in here!"

"Oh. alright. I suppose so.." Squall staged his defeat.

Seifer smiled, satisfied, as he heard the clanging of belts as Squall undressed. Seifer ran his hand through his dripping hair, slicking it back from his face. He leaned against the wall, waiting for his beau.

Seifer heard Squall's bare feet slapping against the ground as he walked toward the showers. Squall poked his adorable face around the corner and his eyes stared straight into Seifer's.

"Hey beautiful, what are you just standing there for?" Seifer said.

Squall smiled widely, a rarity indeed, and stepped into the steaming showers. They stood about three feet apart, each of them eyeing over the other. Squall's body was near perfection, for a fifteen year old, that is. Very muscley, very toned. His slightly tanned skin looked smooth to the touch, and Seifer could hardly wait to get his hands on it. Looking down further, Seifer saw Squall's manhood in all it's glory. Not to shabby. Seifer licked his lips, thousands of obscene thoughts running through his mind.

Seifer's attention went back up to Squall's face which was clouded with anticipation. and wanting. His chocolate brown hair was soaked, Seifer ruffled it and stepped closer, wrapping his arms around his beloved.

Squall lifted his head higher, to conjoin his lips with the taller blonde's. They kissed for a while, their tongues darting in and out of the other's mouth. Then, the fondling started. Surprisingly, it was Squall who first touched the other. He grabbed Seifer's cock, which hardened pretty damn fast after that. He began to stroke his shaft, then he fondled his testicles. Seifer gasped as he broke free from their passionate kiss. He moaned as Squall continued his teasing, it was if he was almost begging to be fucked. Seifer took Squall's chin in his hands and forced him to look him straight into his eyes.

"Are you ready?" He asked sternly.

". Yes. I think so."

"There's no 'I think so', Squall. I love you, a lot. And once we go past this point, we can't go back again."

"I know Seifer, I love you too. I am ready, and I think we should.well. go for it!" Squall smiled meekly.

"Ya know, I think so too."

Squall then kissed Seifer, hardly. It was the most meaningful kisses they had ever experienced in their relationship so far. Seifer's head swam vividly, he knew he was ready. He pulled Squall close and wrapped his arms around him tightly. Nothing could ruin this moment they were about to experience. Nothing except-

"Hellooooooo???!!! Is anyone in here?"

A loud male voice followed the banging of the locker room door. Ugh, it was Bailey, the disciplinary committee leader. What a GREAT time for him to show up.

Seifer and Squall broke their kiss, and looked each other in the eyes. They were in BIG trouble. That is, if anyone caught them..

They gave each other devilish grins, they knew what to do.

Grabbing two towels, they quickly slipped them around their waists, grabbed their clothes, and ran out the door, giggling. They could hear Bailey's incessant screaming, but he hadn't seen them. The two dripping wet teens ran down the hallways of Balamb Garden in only their towels, laughing like madmen. They had to part ways, but it had been one of the best nights ever!

**END FLASHBACK**

Seifer laughed at that memory. it had only been five years ago that he and his lover had ran through Balamb Garden half- naked. Wow. five years. Where has all that time gone? It seemed like only yesterday.

Seifer finished his shower and got dressed into his usual attire. He still had the same gray trench coat. He took great care of it, and had even gotten it fixed up by a tailor after the War. It looked brand new.

Seifer threw in a bundle of clothes into his suitcase, along with his toiletries. He had never been one for packing, so it wasn't a surprise when he had to sit on the suitcase to get it to close.

It was only four in the morning. His flight didn't leave until eight. He had some time until Raijin woke up, so he could drive him to the airport. Seifer walked into the tiny, but cozy, living room in the tiny apartment that he and Raijin shared. Fujin went back to Balamb Garden a year ago, so she could become a SeeD, which she had. Fujin was still at Balamb, and Seifer was planning to stay in her dorm.

Raijin and Seifer's apartment was located in Kratyl, a small, small town located in southern Esthar. Here, the people were friendly, and easily understood that Seifer was possessed at the time of the War, and forgave him. They even swore that they would keep Seifer's whereabouts a complete secret. Seifer was grateful for this lovely town, and helped them by doing a 'Laguna'. He kept the town safe from monsters. That's basically what he'd been doing for the past two years.

Seifer got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. He took out some iced- tea and chips. Seifer went back into the living room and flicked the TV on. Hmm. the news was on. Seifer hardly ever watched the news, so this was new to him. He decided to watch.

Ah, just some boring crap about Gardens. wait. Squall was the headmaster of Balamb Garden. maybe. ah, no. Just some Trabia Garden crap. Seifer remembered when he blew up Trabia Garden. Messenger Girl was crushed. It made him laugh. He felt a bit remorseful now, but he didn't a couple of years ago.

**TIME PASSES**

It was now seven in the morning. Seifer burst into Raijin's room and shook the buff man until he opened his eyes.

"Dude. its seven in the morning.. On a SUNDAY! Watcha awake for, ya know?" Raijin asked, sleepily.

"Raij, you gotta drop me off at the airport, remember? Come on! I've been up since three!

"Huh.. OH! HYNE!"

Raijin jumped out of bed and pulled on some pants and a shirt. He went into the bathroom quickly, then came out again, looking a little more alert than before.

"Dude, you seen my car k- nevermind, I found 'em."

**TIME PASSES** (( In Seifer's POV))

Ugh. Airplanes. I can't stand 'em. Squall used to love them. I don't know why. I used to act tough and brave for him, and I pretended I could handle them. But as soon as we landed, I'd hurl in the bathroom. Heh, Squall never knew.

The airplane I was on was a really tiny, not like the ones Squally and I used to take to Deiling and such. I busied myself by staring out the window, and finding Squall's face in the clouds.

Squall. I'm comin' to see ya. Don't you worry.. Wait. Why would Squall worry? I'm the one flying in from Kratyl just to say hi. Hyne, I need help.

But it's worth it, oh Hyne is it worth it. so see those stormy eyes again.

**TIME PASSES**

The plain had landed, and Seifer was eager to get off it. They landed in Dollet at about eleven in the morning. Seifer saw a flash of silver hair as he walked into Baggage Claim. His best friend in the entire world had come to meet him at the airport! He ran to Fujin and hugged her.

"How did you know I was this flight?" Seifer asked with a smile.

"Internet. Plus, Raijin kinda clued me in." Fujin said, speaking in her normal voice.

"Oh, well. thanks for being here. I gotta get my bag."

"I already got it.. The same one you used when we went to Fisherman's Horizon, right?"

"Yah, that's it"

"Ok. well, I already bought the boat tickets to Balamb. We have a half hour, so we'd best be getting to the docks."

Fujin led Seifer to the waiting cab out front. They drove to the docks where about seventy people were waiting to get on the boat to Balamb. Seifer and Fujin sat on a bench and talked.

"What's been going on at Garden?" Seifer asked Fujin.

"Well, Squall's been half- mad."

"Why?" Seifer said with concern.

"Well, ever since Rinoa ran away with the cowboy, what was his name? Oh, Irvine. Yes, they ran away together, leaving Squall and that sugar- loving girl-"

"Selphie."

"Yes, Selphie alone at Garden. Sugar girl got over it pretty fast, but not Squall. Selphie started to see other guys, and Squall just. locked himself in his office, becoming the lovely ice- cube he once was."

It was time to get on the boat, so they gathered their stuff and boarded the Boat to Balamb.
