Disclaimer: Don't own 'em they own me. Light and fluffy. Hi Naurwen! Hi Kammy! Hi Grinning Reaper! Hi Hokit! Thanks for the reviews and supporting my story! I lurve you!
Me: I'm so proud of you Seifer…Finally admitting you're gay!
Seifer: Oh shove it…Just because I admit it, doesn't mean you should flaunt it.
Squall: Where is Naurwen and Kammy in this story?
Me: ::laughs evilly:: Maybe next chappie…maybe this chappie, you have to read.
He stormed into the cafeteria and plopped down into his seat, Rinoa, Selphie, and Irvine stared at him curiously. Their eyes growing wide with realization that blood and dirt was all over him. "Zell you aren't hurt are you?" Rinoa placed a comforting hand on his shoulder only for it to be shrugged off.
"Squall and Seifer are hurt…they're in the training center. I'll be in my dorm room." Zell murmured and just stood as quickly as he sat down, he somberly marched out of the room, his gaze on the floor. He pushed the door open and began to strip from his dirty clothes, he just tossed them on the floor in the middle of the main room and headed into the bathroom. He turned the shower on and put it as high as the heat would go. He was sore and he was angry, and damn it if he couldn't get his damn shower he'd flip.
His icy blue eyes softened their glare as he took in the as Seifer put it, angry bruises of love, that were on his hips and side. Today was going well, why'd it suddenly just change for the worst? Why the hell is he angry with Seifer? Hell yeah Seifer nearly killed Squall, just because Squall kissed Zell, and Squall tried to kill Seifer once Seifer was restrained. But what made Zell freak out like that? Why the hell did he attack Squall? Why is he angry with Seifer? What's wrong with him? Shaking his head, he scrubbed his scalp with the cheap Balamb shampoo his mother gave him. Oh no. Ma Dinct. He forgot to tell his Ma. He forgot to even talk to her in the passed few months. He quickly washed himself as if he were going to explode, wrapping a blue towel around his waist he stepped out of the hot spray of the shower. Sighing heavily, he threw his dirty clothes into the hamper and trotted into the bedroom he and Seifer shared. Rummaging through the closet he finally found his baggy navy blue cargo shorts and a black wife beater. Yanking a pair of black boxers from his dresser he let the towel fall to his ankles. A wolf whistle greeted his ears and he spun around indignantly, his gaze on the tall blonde standing in their bedroom doorway. "Seifer…I never heard you come in." Zell quickly tugged the material of his boxers up to his waist, he felt so naked.
"You spent at least an hour in there. Dr. Kadowaki healed me and told me to come back here for R and R." He grinned sheepishly flopping onto the bed, "I'm sorry about earlier today."
"Yeah…whatever." He hurriedly dress, feeling Seifer's curious gaze on his back. Why was he mad at Seifer? Maybe it was because Seifer went against his word. Either way he just ignored Seifer as he sat there on the bed watching Zell fuss in the mirror over his hair. Zell snatched the bottle of super freeze gel and globbed some into his hair, spiking it to his desired height. He slipped on his black flip flops and turned around to find Seifer with a frown marring his face.
"Why are you mad at me?"
"I don't know. That's what I've been wondering all day." Zell sighed exasperated, what was wrong with him? "Look I'm gonna walk to Balamb. I'll be back later" He began to leave only to be yanked down to Seifer.
"Don't lie to me. What's wrong?"
"Seifer…right now…I just need to talk to my Ma." He jerked his wrist free from Seifer's grasp.
"I'm sorry…whatever I did, just tell me. Don't lie to me. I love you Zell." Seifer firmly grasped Zell's shoulders and crushed his lips against Zell's in an aggressive kiss. "I love you Zell. You know it. Don't do this to me. Not after we fought for so long."
"Seifer…" Zell collapsed into his lover's arms, sobbing silently onto his shoulder, "…it's my fault. All my fault. Squall might leave Rinoa…and I still do love Squall. I'm so confused." Seifer's grip tightened on the shorter blonde, and he placed butterfly kisses on Zell's shoulder.
"It's okay…I understand. Do you want me to go with you to your Ma's or is it personal?" He let out a sigh of relief as Zell just merely nodded and returned the aggressive kiss. He just held Zell close to him, relishing him in his arms, for however long that may be. Hopefully forever. Slowly they rose together and began to walk out of the dorm hand in hand. They cantered solemnly towards the garage once more. Routinely getting into the mustang Seifer roared the engine to life and peeled out of Garden.
The small town of Balamb grew closer over the horizon as the ten minute drive seemingly lasted for an eternity of uncomfortable silence. They drove into the city and parked the luxury car right next to Zell's real home. Seifer hopped out of the car and bounded around to open Zell's door to only realize he was already out. He watched the martial artist sprint into his house, the entrance door banging open. A squeal of delight filled his ears as he followed. There Zell was, lifting his mother up in his hug, laughing like a little boy again. "Zell, you can put me down now." She chuckled and whacked him on the butt with a wooden spoon, Zell happily complied.
"Ma, I have something I need to tell you. I've been meaning to for a few months now." His face went serious as he stole a glance at Seifer standing in the doorway. "Ma…I'm…"
"Oh Zell, it was none to obvious you were gay! Who's the lucky boy? Squall? Irvine? That cute guy Jack?" Ma fussed over her son as she straightened his wife beater and wiped away the invisible dirt from his face. He shook his head no into her hand. "Well who could the lucky man be?"
"Me." Seifer stepped forward startling the elderly woman, her lips pressed together in a firm line, then upwards into a smile.
"Seifer! You take care of my son!" She warned waving a spoon at him, "You hurt Zell and I'll cook you for dinner!" She laughed as her last comment irked the taller blonde.
"Ma…How'd you know?" Zell asked rather disbelievingly.
"A mother knows, Zell. A mother knows." She tapped her temple with the wooden spoon and returned her attention back to the kitchen.
"Mrs. Dinct you're perfectly fine with this?" Seifer called after her, pulling Zell into an affectionate embrace. He leaned down and rested his chin on Zell's shoulder. Smiling inwardly he nibbled gently on the soft flesh of Zell's earlobe. He swatted Seifer away with a grin playing on his tattooed face.
"Of course I'm fine! Anyone that makes my son happy is accepted! Regardless who it is and under what circumstance! A mother wants the best for her son!" She piped as she bustled over the stove. "Please the both of you stay for dinner!" She placed the spoon on the counter and turned to face the two with their arms around each other's waist, wiping her hands on her apron she beamed and cooed. "you two are so cute together! Oh I have to get a picture!"
"Awe…Ma…" Zell slouched as Ma gave him a warning look. The uneasy feeling slowly started to settle in Seifer's stomach. Maybe there shouldn't be much to worry about.
"No excuses Zell! I'm going to get pictures of you and your boyfriend!" The words flowed off her tongue like water does gently trickle down the rocks of the waterfall. "Awe that's so adorable! Stand together! Smile! Say Chocobo!" The whir of the camera and the flash filled the silent room, as did several more whirs and flashes. Deciding to give Ma Dinct a picture to treasure Seifer encompassed Zell his hands resting on the small of his love's back, his mouth swooping down in a sweet and gentle kiss. A loud coo and a whir and a flash made Seifer smile and chuckle into the kiss as Zell pulled away wide eyed.
"MA!" He yelped and faced her, his face beat red.
"Oh stop it Zell. You're acting like he has cooties." Shaking her head she returned to the kitchen. "Dinner will be ready in ten minutes" Zell glared up at Seifer and smacked him playfully on the chest.
"Now Ma's gonna turn that into a Hyne Time Celebration card. Or as most call it Christmas. Thanks a lot Seifer, all my relatives are gonna get that. Frickin' hell." He stomped his foot in a sexy pout as a laugh rumbled from deep within Seifer's throat. His emerald eyes gleaming with amusement.
"I love you Zell."
"I love you too, Seifer. I don't even know what made me mad at you." He sighed as he flung himself into Seifer's arms and his lips. "I can never stay mad at you for long." He grinned that fangy grin, and yanked Seifer over to the dining room to set up. They sat down side by side, and one hand on each other's thigh, beaming like fools in-love as Ma came in with the food. They ate in a companionable silence, exchanging grins and contented sighs. Love…powerful even in silence.
Author's Notes: I came up with this all by myself! I need ideas! Ideas people! Review! Review! Keep my stomach happy and my muse healthy! Naurwen and Kammy I'll try to fit you in within the next couple chappies! I promise! I'll try! But don't expect a major role…cause this is focused mainly around Zell (and Seifer) if you hadn't noticed! ::wink:: I find Hugh Jackman incredibly sexy. I would love to ravage Seifer.
Seifer: Really?
Zell: You aren't ungaying are you?
Seifer: *shifty eyes* No…of course not.
Zell: *growl* Better not…
