Chapter 13: Feelings
~*~ Seifer's POV~*~
Squall just had to ring didn't he! I almost got to kiss her, damn him! I'll have to ring him later on and abuse him when Selphie's not around. Ok, why is she looking at me like that? Oh, I get it, I'm doing those internal monologues that Squall does.
"Seifer?"
"Yeah Selphie?"
"Can I ... oh never mind." She looked away and suddenly I wondered just what she had wanted. I gently turned her face back to me, cupping her cheek in my palm. Her eyes were sparkling and her lips parted in anticipation. She must want this as much as I do, her body language is telling me that. I leant closer, gently resting my nose against hers for a long moment, staring into her eyes, seeking the permission I so desperately needed. Her nose slid past mine and her lips sank against mine, her hand sliding into my hair and the other was pulling me closer in the middle of my back. I leant closer, sinking down on top of her on the bed. I had never thought I would find this feeling with her. Even with Rin, I never felt this. I gently broke the kiss, resting my forehead on hers, knowing she could feel the ridge of hard tissue that was my scar. Her hand slid from my hair, wrapping around my back in a hug as her emerald eyes danced happily, a single tear trailing down her cheek. I lifted a hand to carefully wipe it away.
"Selphie, you do something to me."
"So do you." Her voice was so soft as she stroked my hair back, her fingers felt so wonderful that it sent a shiver down my spine which made her draw me tighter to her. I suddenly realised just what our position was. Her leg was over mine, drawing my hips to hers and the other was the same. I was trapped in her embrace, no way of escaping, not that I wanted to leave her silky grip. Her dress was up around her hips, leaving her slim legs bare as they embraced me. I rolled my shoulders, shifting her arms up around my neck. She smiled and tilted her head back to kiss me softly, her eyes sinking shut as the feeling swamped me. There was one thing I wouldn't stand at that moment and it happened. Someone was knocking at the door. Selphie pulled back, disappointment in her eyes as well.
"I'll get it." Her voice was low and soft as I nodded, watching her gently slide out from under me. I guess I shouldn't've been so fascinated by her, maybe I would have noticed the person at the window before they fired and caught Selphie in the back. She crumpled to the ground and I turned and leapt through the window, turning my head away as I crashed into the man and sent us crashing down to the ground. I rolled over and continued to punch the guy in the face until he was well past dead. Only then did I remember Selphie was lying up in our room, bleeding on the floor. I jumped up, heading back inside. I guess people thought I was crazy, but she could already be dead, then what would Squall say? I bashed the door open to find her sitting up, trying to stop the blood flow.
"Let me do that." I knelt down beside her and she smiled at me.
"Go into the bathroom and get the kit, there's a hi-potion syringe left, bring bandages as well." She was so strong, I could see the amount of blood she's lost and she's still strong enough to sit there and tell me what to do. I dashed into the bathroom, found the kit and brought out what she wanted.
"First of all, gag me, I hate needles and you don't want people thinking you're murdering me." I carefully gagged her, being mindful not to cut the circulation off to her lower jaw as I tried to be as gentle as I could be giving her the needle. Her head flung back and her eyes poured out tears. I removed the syringe and un-gagged her. She smiled weakly, lifting a hand to wipe the tears away as I carefully unbuttoned her dress. She helped shrug out of it, exposing the wound that ran right through her. I padded both sides and ran the bandages around her middle, carefully taping the end down. She pulled her dress back on and rose to her knees. I was surprised she had the strength for it. She placed a hand on my shoulder and I took it in mine, reaching for her other hand and stood, gently coaxing her to her feet. She stood and I wrapped her in my arms, holding her for a long moment.
"You should rest." I swept her legs out from under her, carrying her over to the bed.
~*~Selphie's POV~*~
Ok, I was weak, but that didn't mean I needed him to carry me to the bed, but then again, I guess he felt like he should do that for me. It was sweet to have him carry me to the bed, and our kiss was going past sweet until that knock at the door. I guess that means someone in the smuggling ring knows where we're roomed, I guess that should bother me, but hey, I get to share a room with a guy that means more than he used to, ok, I need to stop thinking about this, it isn't good for me. Or for my friendship with him. Ok, sleep, sleep would be good. I drew the covers around me and nestled down in the bed. It was soft and wonderful, just like the night before. So was the feeling I had being held in his arms. So what? Sure my body was attracted to him, don't think anything else about this, it's just plain old- fashioned lust, he's well built, caring ever since Ultimecia, kind with that episode with Irvine and handsome, his scar doesn't derive from his looks. Time to stop listing his good points and get some sleep.
"Will you be alright if I go for a walk?" His voice startled me out of my thoughts and I lifted my gaze to him, nodding as a smile came across my lips.
"Yeah, go on." I waved him away and he bent down to lightly touch his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, drawing him down to deepen our kiss. His lips felt so wonderful against mine that I had to draw him closer, carefully wrapping my legs around him as he settled above me. The covers were tangled down around our feet as we rolled in the covers. We paused at the edge of the bed, the kiss breaking as our gazes met.
"Selphie, I ..."
"Don't." I touched my fingers to his lips, stopping him from speaking and saying something that might ruin what was running between us. He caught my hand in his and kissed each of my fingertips before pressing them against his chest over his heart.
"I can't say I love you because I don't know, but you do something here, I don't know what." His voice was low and I lifted my other hand, catching his from holding mine and repeating his gesture, kissing each of his fingertips before laying them over my heart.
"I could say I love you, but it might not be true, but you make my heart race and I've never felt this before, so I don't know what it is." I kept my eyes locked with his and a smile crossed his lips as he lowered his head to rest his nose against mine. It felt wonderful to have him so close and I sighed happily, rubbing my nose gently against his until the door burst open and Laguna stumbled inside.
"SELPHIE!" I flinched at his tone and Seifer smiled and kissed me softly before carefully rolling off me. I pushed up onto my elbows, turning to watch Seifer get up off the bed and hold his hand out to Laguna.
"It's nice to see you sir."
