Disclaimer: I own Seifer's thoughts... and I guess that's good anough for now.
Author's Note:... Hiya eveyone! Well, as you can see, I'm not dead so I don't really have an excuse for this being late except that I had a VERY severe case of writer's block which I'm sure pretty every author can relate to!
Um, well this story's turning out to be much longer than I thought it would be, but I'm still working on how MUCH longer. I hope you enjoy this chapter and happy reading!
The Lonely One
(Chapter 9: Seifer)
(I remember walking back to my dorm that night, the sight of the obviously frustrated Quistis in my mind.. I couldn't wait 'til after our tour so I could explain myself and maybe save any embers of our relationship.....
But fate was cruel to me yet again...
When I opened the door the next morning, my heart pounding and cheeks flushed with the anticipation of seeing the blonde beauty, I was instead met by the blue eyes of a grim Irvine. My heart had sunk a little, and my face retained its normal hue as I tried to hide the disappointment in my eyes. He had shrugged and informed me that Quistis had been called to attend a mission in Galabdia and that he was taking her place on this tour.
.. I had waited two years.......
....so I guess one week was no real biggie..
But still....I was sick of waiting, and my patience can only last so long before frustration takes its place. During the entire tour, I know I had been less than kind to the person I called friend, causing him to give me a side-long glances every once and a while....
Irvine is actually an okay guy, to my utter surprise. I still remember his goofy-ass grin when we first met back in Esthar. He introduced himself as a SeeD of Balamb Garden and as one of the six who defeated the 'Hell Bitch' (which I just learned was a little name Chickenwuss had given her). It was easy to play dumb with him because I never had actually talked to him in the past, and you can't really get aquainted while you're trying to kill one another.
Also, since my return here, I've managed to situate myself into the very group of people who had hated me. Puberty Boy is still a little wary of me, which doesn't surprise me in the least... Still the untrusting bastard he's always been.
What does surprise me though is his marriage to the 'princess'. I was positive that she would have left him in the gutter by now....
But I guess that sort of 'honor' was only reserved for me.
Like a mentioned before, it was easy to pretend to not know Irvine because well.... I didn't, but eneryone else in Balamb Garden was a little tougher to fake it with.... though I get by.
I find it odd how I can be right under these people's noses and they don't even know it.. Am I THAT good at hiding? I must be or else I'd be rotting in Hell by now. Not eveyone's perfect though, and I slip up once and while, earning an odd glance from others but nothing more. Thankfully.....
I've been teaching for a week now... A stressful Hyne-forsaken week..
It's frustrating as hell and all my students seem ot have the IQ of a bite bug! Starts to make me wonder how Quistis could even put up with it, and I'm even driven to apologize to her for all the trouble I put her through during my own glory days.
Quistis..
Her return was a week overdue..
And I was getting worried..
I'm beginning to know how she felt while I was gone, which makes me want to apologize to her even more... Though I must admit, I'm not sure she even felt this way...
If her worry even lasted long...
What if she doesn't feel the same way she did?
What if there's somebody else...?
No... I cleared that up with fellow Insructors who I overheard during lunch----
"....She never goes out.."
".. I heard she's sworn off dating since that whole incident during the Sorceress-End party.."
".... Maybe she's a lesbian..?"
"Or maybe it has to do with that traitor Al--"
I had gotten up and left before I had the chance to listen to them bash me, my disgust for the busy bodies welling up inside.
Whatever...
People suck, and that lesson should be pounded into my skull by now. Their conversation also shows me that people have not forgotten about me.... a blessing in some ways, and a curse for obvious reasons.....
But I don't care today, because my wait is over..
Quistis came home!
I met her at the front gate with the others this morning.. Or rather, got a glimpse of her carried in on a stretcher...
A bomb had been set in the motel she was staying in while she had been continuing with a prolonged investigation of a group of terrorists in Deling, ironic thing being that they were the one's who set the bomb.
The rescue crew found her amongst the rubble the next day, lying in a sea corpses.....
I have absolutely no doubt that her GF, Shiva, had something to do with her miraculous survival. It's well known that when a GF becomes emotionally attatched to their master, they'll do anything to save them, even more so since their life-force is connected to that of the user...
I.. uh.. read that in a book once...
Anyway... she's resting in the Infirmary now, and I'm going to see her tonight after curfew. I even got the permission of Kadowaki for me to do so. She had said she 'trusted my face'. That had sent a little shiver through me, and I was afraid she had some hidden meaning buried in that.....
I'm really nervous here...
I don't even know what I'm going to say to her...
'Glad you didn't get blown to bits before I got to say I luv ya!'
Hmmm.... maybe..... )
Author's note: .... Kinda short I know, and it didn't really turn out the way I hoped.... *sigh*
Well, thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter despite it's shortness and lateness...
Um, guess I'll se ya'll, and thank you!
