Passionate Affections
Chapter VIII
Author's Note: Well, as you can see, I uploaded this chapter faster than before. "Expecting next decade" for it was just my incredible sense of exaggeration-ism. Besides, it is a long weekend, so I don't want to sit in my ass all day doing nothing. I have doubts for this chapter. I mean, I know how the story's going to go, but again, my last minute edits. I'm not so sure if I would add them to the story at first. It would make Rinoa a flaming bitch, too. And Seifer a good-for-nothing bastard. It's not really their type of character to begin with, and for some it won't make any sense. Maybe this chapter's not going to be that great, considering it's going to be revealing a ... plot twist? A very unusual, unexpected plot twist, at that. I don't expect much from this, but I don't know what else to write. I think it would give the story something exciting for some apparent reason, I guess.
Warning: It contains some mild foul language. If it's a great deal to you, then don't read it. It only contains a few here and there, not the whole vocabulary.
~(Squall's POV)~
We laid on the bed together. It was a night I'll never forget. There was still a bit of hope in my life, and I got it.
It was about midnight already. I was half asleep and Seifer was completely asleep by my side -- in my arms. I could hold on to this moment forever. I tightened our embrace a bit, wishing Seifer would never leave my side.
Seifer woke up suddenly. He looked at me and smiled. He leaned over to kiss me, and again share that wonderful kiss. I have to say he's a good kisser. It's paradise compared to when I kissed Rinoa, which meant absolutely nothing to me since it was just an act.
We kissed for a while, until it ended badly. Very badly. Rinoa had just burst open the door, and she caught us together making out. This could not get any worse. Uh-oh.
"Squall?!", yelled Rinoa loudly. Boy, am I in trouble. But wait, what am I talking about? She finally gets to know the truth. It's not what I had in mind, but let's just go with the flow.
"Uh, hey Rinoa.", I said so nervous.
"Hey, Rinoa?! Is that all you have to say? I demand an explanation!", she said furiously.
"Well, what do you need me to explain? I guess this is pretty much it."
"I guess so. My eyes have seen the truth, now.", she said as she ran outside and back to her room.
"Wait, I can explain!", I said running after her. Yes, she knows already, but I need to explain her well; I've got to make her understand. I can't leave her hurt like that. She still my friend, after all.
I tried to catch up with her, but she entered the elevator and it closed before I got to it. I could only see the death glare she had in her eyes. Doom. I ran up the stairs as quickly as possible, so she wouldn't lock herself in the room. I finished climbing the last staircase, and tired I ran up to her.
"I can explain, but please give me a chance.", I begged.
"Explain what? I have seen enough.", she firmly said.
"Well, yeah, that's true, but try to understand --"
"Oh, Squall, I totally understand. You never really loved me, did you? It was all just an act, wasn't it? To get with Seifer? You could have just told me to begin with, then I wouldn't have to suffer so much."
"I tried to tell you, but you brought up marrige and stuff -- I couldn't tell you just like that."
"And all of a sudden you care about my feelings? And then try to be all good and honest with me? Well, guess what -- you failed."
"But -- "
"I don't want to hear it. You know, it's a good thing I found out before I married you, because then I would have just make the biggest damn mistake of my life. That shows what kind of man you really are.", she finished and slammed the door in my face.
What the hell have I done? Well, I got what I wanted, and I knew Rinoa was going to be squicked out, but then, why am I not happy? I guess I have to sleep with Seifer now. She'll get over it in the morning, I hope.
I rode down the elevator and walked back to Seifer room. He was sleeping silently. I climbed to bed, too - our backs facing each others'. A while passed, then Seifer spoke, "So, how'd it go?". "I think she took it . rather well.", I lied. Everything's going to turn out all right once she understands, so I don't need to worry about tomorrow.
"So, are you ready to come back to Rinoa?", Seifer ask. "What?!", I yelled shockingly. What did he mean "come back to Rinoa"? Why would I ever come back to Rinoa? I'm the last person she'd want to see right now. And no, I like other guys.
"Wait, this is a joke, right? Good one.", I said.
"Well, no, actually. See, you have to go back to Rinoa's arms. You got what you wanted, now please her."
"What are you talking about?"
"That was the deal, right?"
"You two made a deal? What kind of a sick prick are you, anyways?"
"Rinoa told me, that she told you and you were cool about it."
"Rinoa! Rinoa didn't tell me anything, I'm sorry to say, but it's saddening how you take me like I'm some kind of puppet and play with my life. What the hell is this deal about?"
"Well, Rinoa knew that you were gay a long time ago, but she wanted you because she loved you. And she would do anything at all costs to get you and share her life with you."
"And that means nothing to you? What about my feelings? I thought we had something, Seifer. Now I know you don't care and it was all a waste of time."
"Listen, I know what I did was wrong to accept that deal, but you're not realizing it's the same thing Rinoa's going through."
"Yeah, but it didn't have to be this way."
"Blame yourself, too, Squall. It's not my fault you acted like a little bitch and she was too enamored, and now it has come to this."
"Uh . uh, I guess you're right. But you know, I didn't plan any trick for her. And the worse part is: you're in it, too. I can't believe you, Seifer. But don't worry, it's all going to change tomorrow. Because tomorrow, I won't be that "little bitch" you say I am, I'm going to take action. You're going to see what a fraud you are and always were, and Rinoa, too.", I said infuriating as I walked outside the door with my stuff and slammed it.
I don't know were I'm going to stay. It was one o'clock in the morning already, so I doubt someone would share their room. I would have been crazy, but I had nowhere else to go -- I was going to my infamous "peace place" at the hill on top of the Fire Cavern. I couldn't rest. No, not after what I just found out. I felt I meant what I said back there so sure, but I still don't know what I'm I going to do. Rinoa. Yes, I'll talk to Rinoa first thing in the morning.
Comments: And chapter 8 concluded! Has this story lost its touch? Anyways, I'm making preparations for my website, so I'm taking time to write this and make the website and school. Where do I ever find the time? My website is going to be, of course, a Final Fantasy yaoi website. Mainly, about Squall and Seifer. It is also going to have this fanfic in it. You can also send in your own fanfics, too. So I guess I'll have to start doing the artwork for the site now, but since I want to write the next chapter already, I'll do that first.
Read & send reviews for a happy fangirl. ^_^
