AN: Boy it's been a long time since I wrote anything.. Well, here's the

for these fics for me. I also had a really fun idea for another chapter so
I started in again on this story. More of the stuff you want.NO YOU BAKA
HENTAI! NOT ANY LEMON SCENTED CHAPTERS IN THIS STORY! -.- Gee whiz, get
your minds out of the gutter.

Seifer.
His eyes go wide with shock at first then his shoulder slump a bit. It's a pity slump, I know it.
"Quisty." He says softly, one of those breathy words.
"S-seifer, go away. Get out." My voice quivers and I know it will break soon as another round of shameful tears well in my eyes and sobs lodge in my throat waiting to be let out.
"Quisty, what's wrong?" He still speaks softly and he shuts the door quietly behind him and moves slowly to my bedside.
I bite my bottom lip. I can't open my mouth, who knows what'll come out. I shut my eyes tightly and feel tears squeeze out the sides.
This isn't good. Seifer's seeing me in my morning weakness. He'll probably go and tell everyone and then I'll be in big trouble. Or he might use it to his advantage and pick fun at me about it. Or..he could take total advantage of being in my room..
My eyes shoot open frantically, my head snaps up and I look him in the eyes.
"Don't you dare come any closer Seifer Almasy!" I try to say it with force but my voice still quivers on the word 'dare'.
He takes another step toward me.
"Quisty, come on, what's wrong?" He asks simply.
I jump up on my bed and search for something to use as a weapon. No such luck, my whip is behind him on my dresser, too far. There's only an over head lamp, a pillow, my glasses on the bedside table and a clock.
"Get down Quisty; I'm not going to hurt you." His voice is gentle, like he's trying to persuade a cat out of a tree. I'm no cat; I'm not letting him get near me. Seifer steps to the edge of the bed and holds out his hand.
Trying to hit it away, I step forward onto my bed sheet and slip forward.
Right into his arms. It's a stupid reaction. Reach out for something when you're falling.
Now I'm clinging to him, arms around his neck, his around my back.
It's at this point I realize that all I'm wearing is black underwear and a light pink satin shirt. It's big on me and buttons up the front. My hair is down and probably a mess and my glasses are off.
It's also at this point I realize in the fall my shirt has come up to right under my chest.
I pull back from where my face has been buried in his shoulder and looked up into his face. He looked at me and smiled gently.
He looks like he cares so much. It breaks my heart more. I can feel my bottom lip quiver and tremble. My body shivers all over.
His eyes are so calming and deep. They make me feel like nothing bad should ever happen. New tears well in my eyes, for everything in the world that's sorrowful now.
His face turns blurry but I try to hold the tears back, to save what's left of my pride. No such luck.
I break in his arms; sobs racking my body, making me tremble and shake. He holds me close and rocks me back and forth slowly in his arms, whispering softly in my ear comforting words.
"It's okay. You're not alone. I'm right here. It's all going to be okay."
He strokes my hair softly as I pull closer to his chest and bury my face deeper into his shirt.
~~**~~
Opening my eyes is something I really don't want to do. I don't want to go to work today. I don't want to face a student and have to deal with Squall and his anti-social demeanor. Or that stupid bubbly girlfriend of his who too damn happy for her own good. But I'll have to face them eventually sometime today. We have to plan for that stupid winter ball.
It won't be any fun for me, I know every person at Garden already and there's not any good, looking and otherwise, men around. Except for Seifer. But he was on the enemies' side a while ago. Does that count? Being brainwashed and having yourself be a puppet shouldn't count. Right? And I don't even know if I really like him at all!
I guess I have to get going or I'll be late. I crack open an eye and look at the window next to my bed. Sunlight's coming in already? I must be late if the sun is already in my window.
Sitting up is not the best thing. Blackness crawls in and out of my vision, and the blood in my head can be heard in my ears and felt thumping right behind my eyes. I can't even hear myself groan from it.
"You shouldn't be sitting up so fast." A voice calls from the bathroom doorway.
My head shoots up, causing more pain but I squint at the doorway.
Seifer?!?! What's he doing in my room?!?! In nothing but a towel?!?!?
"You know, if you shut your mouth, you wouldn't resemble a fish as much." He remarks. Hyne that towel around his waist is tiny.. It's got to be one of my hair towels. Oh. Shut my mouth. Quistis Trepe! Stop ogling that handsome, buff, down right sexy man. Who cares if he's almost naked in your room and you have no idea why? And what does it matter that he's wet and dripping lightly on your floor? Does he really know how mind-blowing he looks?
"Seifer? Wha-...why...-towel?" Nice Quistis. That's some really smooth talking.
"I was visiting Fuu last night because she's got the flu and Rage has been staying with her every minute and I thought he needed a little sleep so I brought her some soup and relieved him of his duty. He left, Fuu and I talked a bit before she fell asleep, and I fell asleep after that. When I woke up, I decided to go back to my dorm but when I was walking down the hall I hear sobbing from this room. At first I didn't think much of it, you know? Girls cry about a lot of stuff. But then it only got louder and sounded like someone was really hurting so I knocked but didn't get a reply." He paused a moment, leaning in the doorway.
"So I remembered I had the keycard from Fuu's dorm and took a chance it'd work on any of the girl dorm rooms and it did. I found you, you went a bit nutty, and then you slipped off your bed, into my arms and sobbed yourself to sleep. I put you back in your bed, tucked you in and figured you wouldn't mind if I took a shower here because I didn't want to leave you alone." He finished with a shrug.
"Oh." I pulled my heels to my hips with my hands on my knees, remembering the whole event. "It was quite embarrassing and I'm ashamed of it. Seifer, if you could just forget about all of this... I'd appreciate it very much if you don't tell anyone else about it." I looked up at him from my knees, hopefully.
He gave me a skeptical look for a moment before agreeing.
"Alright, but you have to tell me what's wrong." He stated sternly, pushing himself off the doorway.
"But..." I don't want to tell him I was sobbing because I'm confused about him. Distraction got to distract him.
"Oh Hyne! It's 8 o'clock! I'm late for classes!!" Good distraction but bad for me. I jump off my bed and head for my dresser. Yanking a drawer open I pull out my uniform and a bra, muttering about how I'm going to explain this to my class and Squall.
Rushing into the bathroom, Seifer puts out his arm and catches me before I go in.
"Calm down."
"Calm down?!? You didn't wake me up and now I'm late! What am I going to tell Squall? 'Sorry, I slept in'? I don't think so! He won't believe it! I'm never late! And I'm never sick!" I begin my rant at full speed, working it up so he'll let me get away from him. That's all I want to do. Get far far away from him.
"Take a deep breath. Calm down. I called Squall at 6 to tell him you wouldn't be in and that you'd be having a mental health day." With that said, I do calm down and take a deep breath.
"You did WHAT?!?" I scream at him and he looks a bit hurt and bewildered. "You called Squall for me from my room, in the morning." He nods, even though it's not a question.
"What did I do wrong?" He asks, puzzled.
"Think about that for a minute. You weren't in your dorm all night. I went to my room early. How does that look? To any normal person they can put 2 and 2 together and easily think we slept together! Especially with all my moaning this morning!" I try to keep my temper down, really I do, but it's not working.
"Oh. Oops." He replies simply. I groan. This is not going to be a good day.

AN: Alright, I got the idea for another story about these two that I'll write and have up later. And it shall be called 'Bandits' ^.^ Review, tell me how I'm doing and I'll give you a cookie! But stay tuned to out exciting adventure and see what will happen on Quistis's mental health day.
