A/N Hey peeps. Sorry I've been away for so long. I've had lots of exams and
revision to do. I'm in the middle of my G.C.S.E's and they're taking up
most of my time at the mo, so I appologise for the long wait.
So where were we? Ah yes.. I remember.
DISCLAIMER: all characters belong to squaresoft, I'm just borrowing them and I'll put them back good as new once I'm done. Only the story and all plot bunnies here after are mine.
So, as per usual, its on with the Squall and Irvine goodness.
CHAPTER 5
Irvine sat beside the bed. His head in his hands. This time he didn't wear his usual cowboy hat, but instead had left it in his dorm this time. Ususally he would have made sure he looked just right before even stepping one foot outside, but today he just didn't care. He had more important things on his mind.
Three days after Irvine had walked in and found Squall lying in that bath tub, his wrists cut, slowlly bleeding to death, and Irvine was no nearer to finding out how it had happened. Squall wasn't awake yet and Seifer wouldn't talk to him.
Maybe that was a clue in iteslf?
The the fact that Seifer could no longer look him in the eye might indicate his guilt? Maybe this had just been another one of Seifer's sick games, but had let it go on too far, not realising the extent of the damage he was causing? Who knew?
Irvine looked up from his troubled thoughts, and he saw Squall lying there. Once again his skin too pale, and his frame too thin. Since the doctor didn't know the cause of Squall's injuries, she was treating it as attempted suiside, and who knew, maybe she was right aswell?
Irvine stretched out his shaking hand and grasped Squalls unmoving one.
'Come on Squall. Don't let go' Irvine thought.
He wanted despiratelly for him to open his eyes and for everything to be okay. For Squall not to be on the brink of death every moment he stayed in his coma. For Squall to realise that Seifer was no good to him, and that he should have better.
When would he realise what Irvine felt for him?
This was a thought that Irvine had not intended. Where had that one come from?
Did he even feel anything like that for Squall? Maybe he did. It certainly made sence. It would explain his need for the brunett, his need to keep him safe. It would also explain why he thought about Squall all the time. Not just wondering if he was allright, but imagining him in another life, when he was happy. Not being hurt all the time, or being beaten untill he couldn't walk, or raped untill he no longer had the will to live.
These thoughts made Irvine smile. If Squall could just be happy, even for a moment..
And then when Irvine included himself into that image, it made him smile even more. Yes, it made a lot of sence.
The door to the infermary slid open and Irvine looked up. He scowled at the person as they waltzed in, that ignorant look plastered all about his face.
"Seifer, what are you doing here?" Irvine spat.
"Well, he is my boyfriend, isn't he?" Sefer retorted. He smirked as he took up a chair on the other side of Squall's bed, and held his hand tightly.
"The question is, what are you doing here?" he asked in a low menacing voice, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the gunner.
"I came to check on Squall" Irvine said. He really wasn't afraid of Seifer. He could probably take him out, but it was Squall he was frightened for. Even though Seifer wasn't really a very strong man withought his Gunblade, love could be the most powerful weapon of all. And as long as Squall believed that Seifer loved him, then in the end it would eventually kill him.
"Been checking up on him an awfull lot haven't we?" Seifer sneered.
"Which is more than I can say for some people" Irvine retorted. In the past three days Seifer had been to see him twice, including the visit now. Whereas Irvine had hardly left his side.
Seifer just snorted. Why should Irvine care how much he had been to see Squall? He did have other things to do.
Irvine couldn't take his insulance any longer. He stood to his feet, the chair scrapping the floor and he looked Seifer right in the eyes.
"I swear, I'm gonna make you pay for everything you've ever done to him, and it's gonna hurt twice as much. That's a promise" he snarled as he turned to leave.
"You do and Squall will hate you forever. Now what good will that do when you're so madly in love with him?" Seifer taunted.
Irvine turned to face him. He wouldn't start a fight. Not here and not with Seifer. Besides the fact that he wasn't worth it, he had promised Squall.
"I know that you did this to him, and I know that you're gonna pay. I don't care what Squall thinks of me, I just want him to be safe from the likes of you!" he said over his shoulder as he turned to leave.
"Why would he leave me? He thinks I love him. As long as he thinks that then he'll never leave, and he'll never be safe. But whats bugging you the most is that as long as he believes I'm in love with him, he'll never love you" Seifer spat. He knew he had spoken the truth, and that it was the first step to aknowleding Irvines feelings towards Squall. And Seifer knew Irvine couldn't deny them.
Irvine turned slowlly on his heals. His breath coming short and fast, his anger just under control. He wanted to kill this guy so much, but he knew that this wasn't the time or the place.
"You're sick Seifer, but he'll see you for what you're really like sooner or later, and when he does, I'll be the one who he comes to." Irvine had the last word and he turned to leave, the room quiet and empty of words as the door slid shut behind him.
A/N, thanx for waiting so long. I hope you guys havn't given up faith on this one. There's still plently of chapters in this story still to come, so just sit tight, wait for my exams to slow down and just read and review. Sorry it's a bit short but there will be plently more.
Chapters maybe few and far between due to exams but never fear, I will get this done, so just please stay with me.
Kisses to all
