Invisible Boundaries
Written by: things I will never say
Summary: Quistis knew love between a teacher and a student was forbidden. Then all of a sudden that barrier disappeared. Even still a relationship with HIM… it seemed unimaginable.
The words that are italicized are the peoples thoughts.
Chapter One
Lesson 1
Quistis watched silently from her seat as students entered the classroom. As more people entered the level of noise increased as well. She scanned the room taking note of who was present… and absent.
Those two are never on time. Probably somewhere hacking each other to bits…
Just as quickly as her thoughts came, a student with dark brown hair entered the room casually. A couple of giggles came from a group of girls in the corner. He glanced at Quistis choosing to ignore the smitten girls before sliding into his seat.
Oh god… his eyes are so beautiful… Oh my god… what am I saying! I'm no different from those stupid giggling girls! But… why does he have to be a student? I should take my mind off him… Where's Tweedle-dum? Well at least they haven't killed each other… yet…
Everyone knew the infamous rivalry between Squall and Seifer. It was always a hot topic among students… especially female students. Not only were they two of the best in class, but it just so happened that they were also two of the hottest… and not to mention single.
While guys revered their awesome gunblade skills (perhaps envied), girls were attracted to Seifer's "bad-boy" attitude and Squall's "lone-wolf" reputation. And as much as Quistis denied it… she was very much a young girl.
Another round of giggles sounded and Quistis knew that Seifer had arrived.
"Mornin' Instructor. I'm so sorry I'm late, I had certain… tasks to attend to," Seifer drawled as he strolled to his seat across the room. Whispers were quickly exchanged among the curious girls. It was not a secret when it came Seifer and his one-night stands.
"No problem. But I hope a few points off won't cause too much distress? That goes for you too Mr. Leonhart," Quistis said while marking down the point loss for both students.
"Shit!" ß response from Seifer =P
"…" ß Squall's response…
"Lesson 1. Just because you think you're a hot shot does not give you an excuse to be late for my class. Or anything in that matter," Quistis said. She pushed her glasses further up her nose and rose to begin class.

ANNOUNCEMENT:: ALL STUDENTS TRYING OUT FOR SeeD MUST HAVE SUCEEDED THE TRIP TO THE FIRE CAVERN WITH THEIR INSTRUCTOR
"Which reminds me… A couple of you have not completed this assignment. Remember that it is your responsibility to come to me to schedule an appointment. The SeeD exams are not far off so I would advise you to find time ASAP," Quistis said in a clear voice. A bell sounded signaling the end of class. The usual end-of-class bustle was initiated and this time the noise decreased as the students left the classroom. Quistis caught a final glimpse of the messy brown hair as Squall left. Yesterday they had gone to the fire cavern together…
A whole day with him… alone. If only that day had been longer… or if he wasn't such a good student and completed it in half the time the other students did… What am I thinking?! He's a student for god's sake! I'm just being stupid…
"So you fancy him? He is a cute one isn't he? Too bad he's a student wouldn't you agree my dear instructor?" a familiar voice said with an emphasis on "student" and "teacher". Quistis looked up to see Seifer coming towards her desk.
"That is none of your concern Mr. Almsay. Now what was it the reason you're still here?" Quistis said a little harshly. She winced inwardly knowing she had sounded defensive. Seifer had noticed this as well and his lips curved into a wicked grin.
Damn him! He knows about Squall! I wish he would stop smiling! But… What is that in his eyes? Could it be jealousy?
"My dear instructor, as you know, I have not yet gone to the fire cavern. I would like to schedule a time," Seifer said smoothly. Quistise pulled out her planner and flipped to a page.
"I'm free tomorrow at 3:00. Is that a problem for you?" Quistis said coolly.
"Not at all," Seifer replied, "I'll see you then Instructor."
"Tardiness will be penalized!" Quistis shouted at his back as he turned to leave the room.
**********
So… Squall has captured the eye of the instructor… I should have known… She was always giving him extra attention. The way she was looking at Squall leave the room and the defensive tone in her voice was a definite sign of attraction. Well what do I care? Besides she's and instructor… Then why am I feeling this way!
Seifer marched angrily into his dorm slamming the door behind him. He dropped into his bed facing the ceiling. Somehow it still bothered him that one of the most beautiful women in the garden liked Squall rather than him. An uncomfortable bump underneath him disturbed his thoughts. He reached under his back and brought forth a black lacy object.
A BRA???!!! What the fuck! The girl I had with me yesterday must have forgotten it. No it was probably left on purpose as an excuse to come back for more. What a slut…
He opened his door again and flung the bra out in clear view of anyone passing.
That will teach her to remember next time…
He slammed the door again this time locking it and entered the adjoined bathroom. After he stripped off his white overcoat and the black shirt underneath, he stopped to admire the reflection in the mirror.
I will make the dear instructor mine… Who gives a damn if she's an instructor? She's still a woman… and a beautiful one too…
The thought brought back his infamous wicked smile that many found so attractive. Besides… Breaking the rules was not a new thing for him.
