Zell's Heart Part Six
OKAY LISTEN I DIDN'T GO THROUGH ALL 264 PAGES OF THE FINAL FANTASY 8 FICS ALRIGHTY? SO IF U SEE AN IDEA REMOTELY CLOSE TO AN IDEA YOU WROTE ABOUT. I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW. PEOPLE HAVE ORIGINAL IDEAS. ALL THESE IDEAS CAME FROM MY HEAD, NOT YOUR FICS
Zell had finally decided to open his eyes, but not intentionally. He looked down to Selphie's head on his chest. She had apparently fallen asleep on a sitting stool and used him as a pillow. Squall had been standing in the corner the whole time.
"Hey Zell feeling better this morning?" Squall came out from the corner to greet his friend.
"Yeah, This neck cram could do a little doing over, but other words I feel free as a bird." Zell reassured him. He was careful not to wake up the sleeping girl.
"By the way Zell, everyone knows how you managed to give Selphie enough air to survive. How noble of you." Squall emphasized on the word noble.
"Please Squall, it was only to save her life, that's all. Although it was rather enjoyable and worth being sent to the infirmary over." Zell looked down at Selphie who looked like she was sleeping, but something about this scene made him think otherwise.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!" She mumbled under her voice.
"Selphie are you awake?" Zell shook her until she faked her way up.
"Oh good morning Zell." She faked a yawn, hoping that Zell would buy it. Zell of course bought it, but the look on Squall made her think otherwise.
There was a long awkward silence after that. Zell stared at Selphie. Selphie stared at Zell. Squall stared at his feet. Selphie was feeling incredibly uneasy though she loved this long silence. Squall decided to break the awkward silence. "I need to get new shoes." Zell and Selphie stared at him with astonished looks on their faces before they finally gave in and laughed.
Selphie stood on the open aired west hallway to the dorm rooms. She waved happily to the port town of FH as they prepared to set course back to Balamb. Dr. Kadowaski told Zell he needed to stay for a few days just in case of any aftershocks, but he didn't mind. He thought he was going to be out that same day, but he thought wrong. He lay there every so diligent in the tiny nursing bed. Why did he almost give his life for hers?
"Probably out of love." He smacked his head. He needed aspirin or something, because he did have a slight headache. It only was a slight headache, but it was really bothersome. He thought the only solution was to just close his eyes and fall asleep. He shut his eyes and sealed his sleep with the wandering thought of the petite brunette.
Squall had been sitting at his desk with a ton of paperwork in his inbox. He sighed as he pulled off a paper from the top of the pile. He quickly signed and dropped it in the outbox.
"Maybe being commander of the garden isn't as banged up as it sounds."
"Oh, honey, you'll be alright." Rinoa just appeared from behind him and started to massage his head.
"A little to the left." Squall acknowledged her. She really didn't mind keeping her boyfriend under stress. It was what she used to do with her father until she joined the resistance faction.
"So Squall? Where is the Garden headed?" She was hoping that Squall would take on garden on a journey instead of just letting it sit in one spot to rust.
"I guess we can head back to Balamb." Squall sighed. He knew he wanted to bring the Garden out for a spin, but there was no destination. There was no trouble in the world. There was nothing for the SeeDs to do but sit around and train Cadets to become more bored SeeDs. Rinoa reached down and kissed her man on the cheek before taking a few steps back into the chair she would sit in for hours.
Zell sat up quietly from the comfort of the nursing bed. He rubbed his eyes to make out the room he was in. He was still in the infirmary. The room was dark with moonlight protruding through the window and giving an eerie glow to the room. His eyes finally focused to have a clear view of the room. No one was in there, and everything was incredibly quiet. He couldn't feel the Garden moving, so it probably meant that they were either sitting on water, or they made it back to Balamb safely. His first night in days spent without Selphie. He was on the mark of being relieved and uncomfortable. It was kind of an awkward feeling for him since he had been used to sleeping with his best friend. It wasn't really a bother for him. He shrugged it off as he stared out into the moonlit waters off the coast.
The next morning Selphie rubbed her eyes in order to focus her eyes from the piercing bright sunlight. Apparently she had forgot to close her curtains during the night, which in her mind she absolutely regretted. She trudged to the bathroom with a towel and screamed. The water wasn't flowing, and she couldn't take a shower. She shrugged it off and packed some things so she can shower over and Zell's. Inside she was thinking two things.
"Oh I hope Zell is there, and I hope is water works."
She was going to wait an hour or so, so she sat on her bed grabbed the remote, and then, nothing.
"What the hell is wrong? I don't have electricity either?" She threw the remote to the floor and rubbed her arms. It was incredibly cold. "Great even the heater was shut off."
"Squall!" Selphie stormed up to his desk after exiting the elevator.
"Selphie? What are you doing here so early?" She had awoken him up from the slumber of his bed. It was kind of cool how his office doubled as his bedroom, but it still looked professional with a Victorian-style class look to it. He sat up; totally unaware he was in his boxers as he trudged over to his desk and handed a paper to Selphie before trudging back to his bed and collapsing on it letting out a sky-piercing grunt.
"What! I'm being evicted? Why am I being evicted for?" Selphie towered over a sleeping Squall as he explained in a low raspy voice under his pillow.
"You're not paying enough rent. Either you get a roommate to help with rent, or you move in with someone else. It's that simple." Squall threw a pillow at her as she dodged it and jumped on him.
"Ha, I pinned you down! I always used to tackle you like this in the orphanage, and do you remember what I did after I pinned you?" Selphie grinned as Squall went wide-eyed and tried to squirm out from under her.
"Tickle-time!" She reached down and started tickling him as he desperately tried to hit her away with his pillow, but he was powerless.
Meanwhile Zell had been released and he was headed up to Squall's office. The whole way up he was thinking if he can tell Squall how he feels towards Selphie, maybe he could help him out. He also practiced a few lines in the mirror in the rear of the elevator.
"Selphie, we've known each other so long, and now that. nah.Squall can help me." Selphie had been to exhaust to get herself off Squall, but despite Squall's efforts to get her off he was also just too exhausted. She heard the elevator ding just as Zell walked out.
"What the.?" The scene took Zell aback. Selphie quickly jumped off Squall and blushed, but also looked like she was very nervous.
"Zell it's really not what you think." Selphie started to plea, but Zell just raised his hand in front of his face. They stared into each other's sad eyes as Zell slowly turned.
"It's alright, as I friend, I'm happy you finally found someone." Zell held back his tears as he stepped back into the elevator. To be continued.
