Disc : Not mine

~I can't~

Since the Viper incident everything had gone wrong. Cid had told them to abort the mission and Viper had gone with them to Balamb while Daisuke had stayed there to clean up the mess. Seifer wouldn't talk to Zell anymore since Viper was hanging around the petite blonde 24/7.

"What's wrong, baby?" Viper purred in Zell's ear.

"Nothing," Zell answered.

Viper grinned and kissed Zell's cheek. "You know what I want?"

"Yes," Zell smiled and turned to look at Viper. "But I am suppose to meet Selphie," Zell said, getting up.

Viper pouted pulling Zell back in his lap. "Can't you stay a little while longer?"

"No," Zell got up again and walked towards the door.

"When will you come back…honey?"

Zell turned around and looked at Viper who was sitting on the bed. "Soon." Then he left. He didn't mean to make up excuses to get away from Viper but he was getting crazy. Viper didn't leave him alone for one second and the only thoughts that the man had were X-rated. He was lost in thoughts and didn't notice when he bumped into someone. He fell on the ground and groaned. "Can't you watch out!?" He yelled, mad.

"I could say the same to you."

Zell looked at Seifer who was standing in front of him, towering above him. "Seifer…I'm sorry." He got up and looked at the blonde in front of him. "I haven't seen you for a while."

"Where is your fan club?" Seifer said, starting to walk away.

"Fan club?  You mean Viper?" He said running after Seifer, soon walking next to him.

"Who else?"

"He is in our dorm," Zell grinned. "Why? Jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous?" Seifer said. "I mean why would I want you or Viper?"

Zell stopped walking and frowned. He didn't know why but Seifer telling him he didn't want him made him feel sad.

Seifer stopped walking and turned around to look at Zell. "What? You honestly believe I would be jealous?" He started to laugh. "You can be so funny, chicken wuss." When Zell ran away Seifer stopped laughing and sighed. "It's better this way." Then he turned around and started walking again.

"Seifer do you know where Zell is?" Selphie hugged the tall man from behind.

"No, Selphie I don't."

"We lost him," She said still holding Seifer. 'What did you say to him?"

"I didn't do anything, Selphie," he said turning around.

Selphie was still holding him and pouting. "You didn't do anything?" She asked.

Seifer shook his head. "I'm not always the bad guy you know," he stated.

Selphie gasped. "Oh my god, what is the world coming to?" She let him go and took his hand. "Come on be honest, what did you do?" She grinned. "I know you want to tell me."

The blonde started to laugh. "Will you stop?"

Selphie grinned and shook her head. "I know you did something."

"I told him I didn't want him."

Selphie's grin faded and she let go of Seifer. "You…did." She let herself fall on the ground, not caring about the people who were looking confused while walking past the two.

"He didn't like me anyway, he likes Viper."

Selphie shook her head and looked up. "No Seifer, your all wrong!" Tears started to well in her big eyes. "He doesn't like Viper, he's loved you since I can remember!"

Seifer looked down at her, not knowing what to say.

"Why are you just standing there!" She yelled at him. "Go find him, tell him you love him!"

"It's not that simple, Selphie."

"Don't tell me that! You love him and he loves you, that's as simple it's gonna get"

Seifer closed his eyes, listening to Selphie's sobbing. He knelt down next to the girl and took her head in his hands. "I can't Selphie, I can't love him…"

~~~

Zell felt something burning inside of him as he saw Seifer and Selphie sitting on the ground. Maybe Viper was right about Seifer. Maybe Seifer was just there to fuck his live up. He could never have Seifer. Suddenly Zell felt empty. The thought of never being with Seifer made him choke. On one hand he wanted to rip Seifer's head of and on the other all he wanted was to make Seifer believe they could be together. The problem was that he didn't know which one was the best. 

I want to thank my beta reader, Melissa. Without her this story would suck big time ^_^ 
Tell me what you think.
