Grinning Reaper: Ah, at last, an update.

Squall: YOU DAMNED REVEIWERS!! I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU ALL!! DIE!!!

Grinning Reaper: And that concludes the experiment as to why you shouldn't give already high-strung people caffeine.

Zell: Grinning Reaper was going to make a lemon chapter but she lost her nerve at the last second.

Seifer: And you all thought Zell was a Chicken-wuss.

Zell: Heyyy...

Squall: I can see through time...

Grinning Reaper: Ehhhch.uhm.maybe we should skip to the Fic...oh yeah! Shameless plug: GO READ CHICKEN-WUSS BY THEBLACKRAVENESS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!! IT'S SO GRAND!! Also, a special thanks to all my wonderful reviewers: You're all great and you make me feel so nice because you care enough to review. (Even that one guy who flamed me ^-^)

Chapter Five: Waking up Sandy

Zell's eyes opened slowly and almost painfully. The sun was shining in them. With a grumble and a groan he rolled over and buried his face in the warm naked shoulder next to him. ... ... ...

Wait. Why was there a warm naked shoulder... Zell opened his eyes as memories of last night suddenly came rushing back to him. He blinked in surprise.

"Oh yeah." He said aloud. The form of Seifer stirred at the sudden noise but quickly returned to his state of dreaming. Zell clapped an open palm over his mouth and immediately winced. He hurt ALL OVER. But that would answer his second question: Why was he covered in sand? He grinned fangedly (a/n: I think I just made up a word...) and pulled the thick blanket over his shoulder, snuggling closer and yawning. Eventually he drifted away on the tides of sleep in to a sea of dreams...

It was some time later when Seifer woke. It was around ten o'clock. The sun was shining...the birds were singing...Zell was softly snoring. The taller boy grinned. At the moment, Zell looked like he was about twelve. The crest in his hair literally added years on him.

He was lying on his back his lips parted and one sharp white canine poking from his upper lip. Seifer smirked (he does that a lot you know.) and stretched, he suddenly a mischievous grin curled around his mouth. He reached out and skimmed the back of Zell's neck with his fingertips. (A/N: I hate it when people do that to me while I'm sleeping) The blonde wriggled and mumbled in an irate manner, pulling the blanket over his head. Seifer chuckled and poked the Zell-sized lump in the side. A head full of rumpled blonde hair appeared from the dark blue blankets.

"D'you mind?" He yawned sleepily. Seifer propped himself up on his elbows, looking quite pleased with himself.

"No." Was the simple response. Pouting in what Seifer was sure Zell thought was an angry manner, Zell sat up and leaned heavily against the older boy.

"Yer mean." Zell casually informed him, rubbing a blue eye with his fist. Seifer ruffled the bright blonde locks.

"Yeah and you like it that way." He teased. Zell grinned in a sleepy almost goofy manner and yawned again, spreading his mouth big and wide.

"There's sand in your bed." Zell said suddenly his cerulean eyes twinkling. Seifer shrugged his narrow shoulders.

"I know."

"You'll prolly have to clean it up sooner or later."

"It was worth it."

"Mm." Zell buried his face in the crook of Seifer's neck and let his eyes flutter shut. His eyelashes tickled.

"Hey don't go to sleep again." The older boy said, biting Zell's shoulder. The martial artist jumped slightly and looked indignant. Well, as indignant as one can look when they're naked.

"What was that for?" He asked rubbing his bitten shoulder. Seifer leaned in close and smirked again.

"Nothing." He replied before giving Zell another one of those tongue tangling spit swapping knockout kisses that he was so good at giving. It wasn't until several minutes later that Fujin and Raijin decided to ruin the moment.

"RAIJIN. BREAKFAST. NOW." The smaller member of the posse's voice rang through out small flat.

"I'm going as fast as I can ya know." Raijin objected from the kitchen.

"RAGE." There was a whack.

"Owwwoww." Evidently Raijin had just been kicked in the shin. Quite hard from the sound of things.

"You live with them?" Zell asked sounding surprised. Seifer nodded.

"Well yeah. That bad?" Zell shook his head.

"Nah, it's just kinda a shock when we're....and then they..." Seifer laughed again.

"Yeah I would see what you mean. They'd be cool with this though. I just need time to tell them and all." Zell grinned fangedly again.

"Cool." He looked at the clock. Ten thirty. "Aw man!" He cried jumping out of bed and hurriedly (but soredly.) throwing on his clothes. "I bet the others are wondering where I am! Shit..."

"Run, run, run as fast as you can." Seifer said with another smirk. "Now aren't you glad that I woke you up?" Zell pulled his shirt over his head and combed a hand through his hair.

"Yeah." He replied slipping on his sneakers. "I'll be back on..." he pauses and thinks for a moment. "Tuesday okay?" He asks, tying the laces.

"Yeah alright." Seifer returned, stretching again. Zell nodded and gave the taller blonde a quick kiss before opening his window and hopping out. Seifer grinned, very pleased with himself. He went through his entire day wearing that almost drugged glazed look. Fujin and Raijin said nothing about it. However they did say something about the suspicious marks on his neck. Seifer didn't care. That was part of the fun of waking up sandy.

Grinning Reaper: Bweheeheehee...fluff strikes again!!

Seifer: ::snarl::

Grinning Reaper: See now wasn't that better than just any ol' lemon?

Seifer: ::snarl::

Grinning Reaper: Hm.well I take it you like lemons better. Ah well, such is life. Read and review please!
