Number 39: The perfect human.

By Azure Knight

Chapter 6

Two months have passed since we returned from the secret facility. I've graduated and I'm passing my vacations with the Almasy family who insisted I went with them to the country for two weeks. Seifer has been trying to convince me to enter the Air Force. I said I was deciding still what to do of my life, though I didn't accept especially because I know I won't have the chance to enter anywhere before n.38 attacks again. The marshal, after being told all the conversation, gave the team 3 months of recovering and then they would start acting again. During that time he would be investigating dr. Odine. I would go with them in one month. In one month they all would know my true identity, my true self. Though it was a self I would rather keep inside during the rest of my life, it was now needed, as I couldn't let innocent die, knowing I was their only chance of surviving. No matter what they would do to me after that. I was created for a purpose; let that purpose be one of good. My father and mother will be proud of me.

During these two months I am almost a part of the Almasy. They're a great family and I love them greatly. My only regret is that they'll be hurt when they know who...no. What I am. Specially Seifer who was a direct victim of one of my species. I must say I'm quite afraid of his reaction. Colby is too young to understand and Ruth is innocent enough to forgive me for keeping such important information. But Seifer...Seifer will condemn me, he'll feel disgusted, sickened by my mere presence. I swear I tried to get away. But like Colby, he just wouldn't let me. He kept inviting me to spend time with them, to go shopping with them, to go to the cinema with them. He even invited me to dinner with him twice. I hadn't the guts in me to refuse. I guess that's my failure. I can't easily say no to people. And one person only surpasses Seifer in stubbornness: Colby. Him, and me, we grew real close. But Seifer and I, we got closer than that. I know I love him. And that's also the main reason why I decided to save this world. I also know he cares dearly for me. I only smile when Ruth lets the hints, feigning I don't understand but I do and well. Seifer tries to hide but his eyes tell the truth and twice we almost let the love claim its price. Once Seifer was still in bed and I was bringing his lunch. We almost kissed. What stopped us was the sudden entrance of Colby in the room. The other was when Seifer was doing his famous soufflé for my birthday and I was helping him, two weeks ago. Ruth was the responsible for the intrusion then. After both almost slips we got a little embarrassed over it. Ruth and Colby were pissed off when they interrupted us. I swear they're trying to get us together. The problem is that they're having the opposite effect. On Seifer and me. They're making me see the reality. I shouldn't get involved emotionally. It'll hurt more if I do. I hope I'm not too late for that. That's why I won't let anything happen tonight. Ruth and Colby went to some sort of fair with Ruth's some old friends. Kind of Grandson's and Grandmother's fair, so Seifer and I weren't allowed. If you ask me they planned this so we would be alone all night without interruptions. But I won't let anything happen. I can't.

I finished my chocolate pudding and took a sip of water. It was a hot night. Seifer had already finished his wine and was looking at me intently. I looked at him and noticed the same look of the two other times. I smiled and got up, taking the plates and glasses with me. I had to cut the atmosphere. Seifer realized this and smiled, following me to the kitchen with his eyes.

When I came back to clean the table, he was in the same place. He seemed deep in thought and so I did the job as quietly as I could so as to not disturb him. After I put the flower jar into place, Seifer grabbed my arm and looked at me serious.

"Squall, I need to talk to you. You're 18 now. You're a man and we need to talk as the two men we are. Sit down, please." I looked at him scared. I had a feeling I wasn't going to like where this was going. Nonetheless I obliged. Some minutes passed in expectative silence.

Suddenly he smiled, his green eyes amused. "I probably had a little more wine than I should, but I'm not drunk. Just bold. Too bold. But I started this and I'm not going to back out now. Squall, I'm sure you know...I mean...I think you are aware of the way I feel for you." My eyes widened. No, don't. Please! Not now. You don't know me. I opened my mouth but he interrupted me raising his hand.

"No, Squall. Let me finish. I may not have equal chance afterwards." he said "or courage." He murmured.

"As I was saying. I am almost sure you know that I have feelings for you. 'Those' kind of feelings. I know, I know, it's soon. You probably think I don't' know you too well or you don't know me too well, but I'm a man, not a teenager anymore. What I feel for you Squall, it isn't a crush, it isn't a passage thing. It's-"

I got up instantly. No, I couldn't hear this. How could I tell him after hearing this? I couldn't...

"I can't, Seifer, I can't..."I whispered. He got up as well.

"I know what you're thinking. I know you're afraid. But Squall...I love you. It doesn't matter you don't share my feelings. I had to tell you. I had to take this off my shoulders. Can you understand?"

He was near me. I had my back on him. I was crying. All my life I wished to hear those words and they come now from this wonderful man, when I can't let me enjoy both. Damn, I loved him as well. I wanted to tell him that. I did. I shared his feelings.

"You're crying...why?" he whispered, turning me to him and holding me in his arms. I looked into his eyes and what I saw on those green orbs overwhelmed me. The caring, the comfort, the love, the need to be loved as well. I don't know what possessed me. The love I felt perhaps. What matters is that my resolutions went down the tub. I encircled his neck with my arms and raised my body. Soon my lips joined his and I couldn't think of anything more than the moment and that that man, the man I had learned to love, loved me as well. My move took him by surprise and he didn't respond at first. When we had to stop to breath, he looked at me arching his eyebrows. I answered him.

"I love you too, Seifer Almasy." His smile got wider. A smile of pure happiness. I was about to tell the rest, my origins, everything, when he stole me a kiss, taking the chance away. When our kiss ended my courage was gone. But tomorrow I would, I promised to myself.

Seifer caressed my cheek with his thumb. I leaned unconsciously to his touch. It felt so good to be loved and touched like this. "You are so beautiful...so perfect." he said, his eyes drinking my features. I flinched. It wasn't the first time he called me that. He smiled and kissed me again, but this time the kiss was deeper. He opened my mouth and invited my tongue to play with his. I did as he asked. Soon after he was kissing my chin and then my neck. I arched my head backwards. This was foreign but it felt so good. So right. He started nibbling and licking my neck and collarbone, while he unbuttoned my blue shirt. I moaned and raised my left hand to his hair, massaging it. He was directing his kisses to my tattooed shoulder and I suddenly got alert. The most subtle I could I pushed him down while unbuttoning his own shirt. He smiled against my skin and went up again. Kissed my lips and forehead.

"Not here. We'll be better in my room. Come on." I followed him. He opened the door and pulled me into the dark room. He turned off the corridor light and closed the door. Abruptly as rays of sunlight, the moon illuminated the room and Seifer who was about to turn on the light, stopped in mid movement. He backed then. And smiled at me.

"You are even more beautiful on the moonlight." He said. I blushed. "You're sure you want to do this? Already?" I looked at him and smiled. Next my arms were on his neck and I was kissing him, at the same time pulling us into the bed. That was his answer.

****

I stumbled on the wooden bed and fell with Seifer landing on top of me. He smirked and looked me in the eyes. Then he closed them and inhaled deeply.

"Mmm...you smell so good..." he said aloud. Then he whispered in my ear "...but you taste even better." That sensuous voice did it. I dragged that mouth to mine again, reveling, once more, on the bitter taste of wine ebbed in Seifer's own taste, while I took off his shirt. I could feel his smirk, even while he kissed me furiously.

However, he quickly ended the kiss and traveled my neck with his tongue only to get at my nipples. He started sucking on them and I moaned, pleased. I could feel the heat emanating from his body and the ministrations were making me crazy. He took off my shirt, throwing it onto the floor. Not even for a second he stopped licking and tasting my erect buds, flipping from one to the other. However, I couldn't help feeling a little insecure. What if he saw? That was the only thing preventing me from enjoying his caresses fully. I knew my body was tense and I also knew he could sense it. He slowly stroked my stomach with his cheek.

"Relax, honey." He said. I acknowledged hiding my shoulder the best I could, under the comforter's folds and grabbing his shoulders while he traveled lower, licking my belly. I closed my eyes and let myself melt into the wonderful sensations. His fingers worked on my pants and he left my belly button to take them off along with my boxers. I was now totally naked in front of him. I blushed a little while he inspected my body.

"Perfect..."he murmured. I would never get rid of that word. But that didn't seem so bad when was Seifer saying it. His fingers stroked smoothly my erection, making it twitch and myself utter a frustrated whimper. Seifer chuckled and I blushed furiously. He then spread my legs a little with his hands and gave a tentative lick through the length of my cock. I thrust in the air, desperate. My hands travel to his hair.

He locks my gaze and without previous warning engulfs all my length in his mouth. I moan loudly. It's too much heat around me. I continue moaning while he sucks, his tongue licking my slit at the same time recollecting some drops of precum. I try to thrust, but he holds me in place. My grip on his hair gets stronger and I have to control myself not to pull off the already short hair. Not that is very easy to do that, him making me crazy and all, but I manage.

In the next moment he leaves my cock and travels even lower, past my balls. Raising my legs and spreading them further, his tongue reaches my hidden entrance, making me cry again from utter happiness. He lapped for a few seconds, reaching up to kiss my lips afterwards, while stretching to grab something from the bedside table. During that my deft fingers go to his fly and start opening it. At some point I brush his very hard penis and he growls while knocking everything down on the bedside table, including the bedside light that amazingly but fortunately doesn't crash on the floor. Finally retrieving the bottle he wants, he turns to me and glares.

"Look what you've done!" he scolds me. I chuckle and he follows. "I shall punish you..." he says while opening the hand lotion and coating two fingers. He then starts kissing me again while I manage to push down his pants, past his hips. I had just done this when I felt his fingers probing my entrance. Suddenly he inserted one of them. It didn't hurt, although it was a somewhat strange sensation. A few seconds later, he inserted the other one. It stung a little but it felt damn good when he rotated the both inside of me. I felt myself panting and moaning against his lips.

At that time he withdrew them, with a protest whimper from my part, and grabbed the hand lotion again, kicking his pants and boxers the rest of the way down and coating his huge erection. I blushed when I saw him get ready on me. He smiled reassuringly at me, locking my gaze with his and impaling himself fast. Well, that hurt. I bit my bottom lip hard so as not to cry. However he moaned loudly, subsequently kissing my cheeks, my lips, everywhere he could reach.

A few thrusts later, also I was crying in pure ecstasy, the howls only muffled by Seifer sucking on my bleeding lip. Each stroke was faster and deeper, always touching my soft spot and taking me to the heavens each time. His pumps on my cock, his forceful kisses and his left hand holding my hip didn't help keeping me rational either.

As I felt my own climax reaching me, I saw Seifer panting heavily and his hits going harder until I couldn't control me anymore and came with the blonde's name on my lips. He came inside me soon after, throwing his head backwards also crying my name.

###

A few minutes of recovering later, he disentangled from me and lied on his back, pulling me to him and embracing me. I complied happily but careful to not show my shoulder. I couldn't mess up this wonderful moment.

I lied with my head on his chest relinquishing on the sound of his heartbeat and the strength Seifer gave me. I was save with him. We didn't say anything to each other. His kisses and caresses on my hair and my hold on him were more than enough proof of our deep care for each other. And so we both drifted to sleep. Content on each other arms.

ºººººººººº

I woke up on the middle of the night when I felt weigh lift off me. Squall had moved in his sleep, rolling to the other side. I smiled. The night had been fantastic, even though my stomach ached a little from the effort. It was a damn movement and I wasn't completely healed yet. But, I wasn't complaining either. Squall was a rather hot man and felt so good to have him as a lover. I sincerely hope this will grow into something stable.

I looked at him, sprawled on the bed. His silky hair spilled everywhere, his pail skin, his wonderful natural perfume lingering in the air. Suddenly I noticed something I hadn't seen before on his shoulder. A tattoo. I looked at it but didn't gave it much thinking and leaned on him to get back to sleep. He snuggled against me.

'Wait a minute'. I snapped my eyes opened. I had seen that tattoo before. Though it was a 38 not a 39 number. I'm dreaming now. This thing is really getting on me. The tattoo is probably some animal: a lion maybe. He loves them.

Squall. The perfect human. Well, he is perfect but not that kind of perfect. However the though didn't left my mind and I had to stay sure. When I saw it wasn't I would relax. I lighted the bedside table and looked closely.

'My god!' it couldn't be, but there it was. Identical. Only 39. I looked at Squall and suddenly everything came to me in a mess. The velocity he grabbed Colby from a certain death. God, he was even able to see the numbers when nobody else could. His odd reactions during the conversation about the mission. The stunt with Jalei. His amazing capacities and skills. The velocity of learning and fixing things...

I started backing from the bed, backing from that angel turning into demon. But he was sweet, caring, beautiful... Too much coincidence, but it was possible and there was the proof, clear as crystal. 39.

It couldn't be, no, No, NO! IT CAN'T BE!!! Not him, not the boy I love!!

ºººººººººº

A/N1: As promised, another chapty. Don't you just love the cliffhangings, and the sappy before? {bad azure, bad azure}

A/N2: it's my second sort of lemon, so it probably sucks but maybe I'll improve with practice, hum?

A/N3: To my reviewers {because the reviews page isn't quite good, I followed my e-mail notifications so I hope I didn't miss anyone. If I did, hit me}:

faery-of-fiction - I'm glad you didn't find it confusing, cause I tend to complicate things. And yes, Squall will definitely kick more bad guy butts in the future. He has a monster to defeat. About our little surprise, Seifer already discovered, the question is what will he do now? Any suggestions?

Redrum - first I also like Colby I'm really sorry is about the state of the croissant he defeated. Well Squall and Seifer got really close. Very close indeed, didn't they? About the prejudice, well let's see what happens (that means the mood I am when I write that part, he...).

DracownyGirl - thank you. Well Colby has some difficulty with the SSSS so he can't really say it right. And well, Squall likes it and so do we. They're both the cutest things!!!(but don't tell Squall I said that. I like my head where it belongs - above my shoulders).

Lady Yuskreven - sorry about taking so long but I'm back now. Thank you for your compliments. I'm glad it's still interesting.

Squall Morpheus Leonhart - I'll do my best. Thanks for sending me. I will love to see the improvements.

Trysten - it will get bigger I promise. However I don't know if as big as SOEG but I'll do my best to make it better than that story. Thanks for your reviews.

Katya D Keaton - yeah, Ffnet seems to be a little crazy these days. Glad your review at least appeared at my e-mail as well as the other two reviews from devildragon and DracoDormiens that don't show on the reviews page. What can we do? Thanks for your compliments and I'm flattered you're putting it on your favorite list as well as all the other people who did. Thank you.

Devildragon - first of all: ouch!!!! That hurts!! But I forgive you. After all it is a good kind of violence - you are happy with my work, right? - (and I deserved it for not updating for so long!!). And thanks for the score 9/10!!!! I'm gonna work hard to keep that score. "Update" - check!

DracoDormiens - sorry, another cliffhanging on this chapter too. Fortunately it won't last long. I also love Seifer/Squall. They are sooo c- [Squall looks expectantly at Azure]...he...charming. (I really hope he didn't read this chapter.)

Ilana Sara and Tenken - Sorry, sorry and thanks. I really love sci-fi and I'm glad many people share my affection for it. I'm really happy it makes this story interesting. The relationships of the characters really tag along with the storyline, because this genetic stuff really involves many emotional and ethic subjects so I'm working on it as well.

BlackCypress - well he does have a scaled member so ;P ... thanks for your review.

Thank you all for your reviews. Next chapter will come in two weeks. Till then.
