Chapter 10: Hair Dye

~*~Seifer's POV~*~

I returned to find Selphie standing there, the hostage dead at her feet.

"Did you get anything from her?"

"The Galbadian's are behind it. Nothing else. She stabbed herself with a dart and died, did you get the hair dye?"

"First things first." I scooped up my gunblade and hacked her head off, remembering how some poisons make them look dead but they revive later on. I didn't want that to happen.

"Ok, we dispose of body first, how?"

"Out the window down into the alley." Selphie grabbed the head by the hair, pushed the window open and dropped it out. I followed suit with the body, watching it fall. I drew out the hair dye for her and she scanned the back of the box before heading into the bathroom. I followed her and stood in the doorway.

"Uh, could you do mine as well? I got a light brown colour."

"Yeah, I'll do you first, draw a stool in here." I snagged the stool near the door and sank down on it as she wrapped several towels around my shoulders. She soaked my hair, getting it wet first. Ok, I'm not going to describe her squirting the cold solution onto my head and making sure every strand got it, but after that I had to sit around with plastic on my head for ages. I watched her as she put the black in her own hair.

"Selphie, aren't your eyebrows going to be different?"

"I booked a hairdresser before we went to the club for tomorrow morning, eyebrows will be black." She grinned at me as she rubbed the dye into the last few strands and wrapped her own head in plastic. Waiting was boring, because I couldn't move for fear of Selphie jumping at me. She cleaned up all the spots of dye she got and it was actually funny to have her scrubbing the back of my neck for me. It was washed out and I stared at myself in the mirror. Man I looked weird. Brown hair was not natural for me. Selphie had finished washing her hair and I started at the sight of her. Man! She looked so different and so sexy, hold up! Me thinking Selphie was sexy? Uh oh, send me to a shrink, I need a spell in a straight jacket and a padded room to set me right. I shook my head as she combed her strands back into a ponytail and stared into the mirror.

"I think I could leave my hair this colour."

"You're not serious, are you?"

"Why not? I like it, don't you like my hair black?" She pouted at me in the mirror and I rolled my eyes at her.

"It's fine, but I doubt anyone will recognise you."

"Perfect. I don't want to be known for how I was before. This is the new Selphie, quiet, stern and not hyperactive!" I watched her, suddenly the thought came to my head that the 'new' Selphie would be the perfect girl for me to date.

"You sure you can manage that?" I fell to teasing her for the rest of the night, knowing that as long as I kept the words flowing, she wouldn't notice that I was starting to fall for her. Hold on, fall for her? No way, Seifer Almasy does not fall for the messenger girl!

AN: Seifer has feelings for Selphie? Review and tell me what you think!
