Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. ~sniff~ This was gonna be a Songfic, but I changed my mind. Been there, done that! Lol! Thanks for reading! ^_^
Seifer leaned his back against his chair in the cafeteria. His friends, Fujin and Raijin sat at his sides, eating their lunch vigilantly. Even though Garden had welcomed them back, a lot of the students hadn't. They were constantly looking up from their food to match sure no one was throwing things at them. The posse had found that out the hard way. Seifer dared to glance over to the table on the far side of the cafeteria.
Squall's table, Squall's friends, Squall's school. Everyone was on Squall's side. No one was on Seifer's side. Hardly anyone tried to understand HIS side of the story. It was always about Squall!
Seifer watched as Squall and his own posse ate and talked. His eyes fell upon Zell: The short martial artist he tortured with snide remarks and cruel nicknames for as long as he could remember. A bad feeling rose in his gut the longer he watched him. It was guilt, even though Seifer liked to think he impossible of feeling it. He became a sorceress' knight, hurts hundreds of people, and he regretted none of it, mostly because he couldn't remember doing such a thing. But for some reason, he felt guilty about teasing a scrawny boy who whined all the time. The Great Seifer Almasy, feeling guilty. Go figure.
Fujin was the first to realize Seifer was staring, and more importantly, whom he was staring at.
"SEIFER. ZELL?" She asked, clearly amused, snapping the used-to-be knight back to reality.
Seifer blushed. "I was just thinking. I guess I zoned off. It's nothing." He replied.
Fujin smiled. "SEIFER. WORD. LAW." She answered, rolling her ruby eye.
"What are you guys talking about, you know?" Raijin asked, finally realizing that there was a conversation going on.
"It's nothing." Seifer said hurriedly, in the way that Raijin and Fujin could tell it was something.
"Fine, if you don't want to tell us, you know?" Raijin replied.
"YES. FINE." Fujin said, both she a Raijin looking away in the distance, ignoring Seifer. This, of course, they knew, was his weakness. Seifer eventually threw his hands in the air with frustration.
"Damn you guys! You always do that to me!" He said, Fujin and Raijin smirked smugly at the fact that they had once again got something out of their friend.
"SEIFER. SPILL."
"Yeah, ya know?!"
"Fine," Seifer whispered. "I'll admit it. I'm feeling guilty."
"SEIFER? GUILT? WHY?" Fujin whispered, back.
"Because I picked on Zell so much." Seifer sighed. "Why all of a sudden like this?"
"SEIFER. LOVE. ZELL!" Fujin whispered between giggles.
"Sounds like that to me, too, ya know?" Raijin added, smiling at Seifer.
Now Seifer was really blushing. "I don't think so, I mean, this seems different."
"Have you ever been in love?" Raijin asked.
Once Seifer got over the shock that his friend had actually said a full sentence without adding the words 'ya know' after them, he replied. "No. I mean, I've had a few boyfriends, but nothing serious. And you're the only ones that know about that."
"Well, why don't you try to talk to him. Tell him that you are sorry, ya know?" Raijin suggested.
Seifer let out a laugh. "That'll be the day! Zell won't even listen to me! As far as he's concerned, the world is better off without me!"
"TRIED?" Fujin asked, giving her friend a skeptical look.
"You think I'm that brave? Zell will think I'm trying to get to him so I'll be more accepted by people. I know him. He's never trusted me." Seifer sighed, putting his head in his hands.
"That doesn't mean he won't eventually, ya know?"
"AGREED." Fujin put in, "SEIFER. ZELL. TALK. NOW."
Seifer looked up at his friends and smiled. "You really think I should?"
"Yes, we do, ya know!?" Raijin said, placing his hand on Seifer's shoulder.
"YES." Fujin added, putting her hand on Seifer's remaining shoulder. "YOU. RAIJIN. ME. ALWAYS. POSSE."
Seifer nodded. "I'll talk to him later. Thank you guys." And with that, Seifer Almasy walked out of the cafeteria in high hopes.
