Chapter 16: Fake ID's.
~*~Selphie's POV~*~
I slid into the bed, tired and content. Seifer was still out, he said he needed to go for a run, who was I to stop him? Oh well, time to stop thinking and start sleeping, need to get back to work tomorrow. The bed was soft and the covers heavy and protecting. I was soon asleep, unable to keep my eyes open and wait for Seifer to return.
~*~Seifer's POV~*~
I finally went back to our hotel room at two in the morning to find Selphie fast asleep in the bed. She looked so angelic just curled up with the covers tucked up around her neck. I drew them away at her back once I changed and nestled in against her back, my knees drawn up under hers as I slid my arms around her waist, drawing her back against my chest to sleep with her curled up in my arms, to remind me in the morning that tonight was not just a dream, that it did happen and that I'm not some place else without her. She felt so soft and vulnerable in my arms as I nestled my nose beside her ear, breathing in the scent of that perfume that made my pulse race. It was a scent I would always connect her with. Soft and gentle, but it had power in it, a thrumming sensation inspired in my lungs at that scent. I drifted off with her scent and the sight of her softly glowing skin as the last things I remembered of that night.
~*~Selphie's POV~*~
I woke to find warm arms around my waist and I stretched my legs out straight before rolling in the arms to find my nose to Seifer's as he slept, his jaw slack, his lips parted as he looked so handsome, so relaxed without the constant frown between his eyes. I slid my arms around his neck, gently resting my nose against his before I let sleep claim me again as the first rays of sun shone through the broken window. His arms tightened around me and I laid a leg over his, holding him close with my body as I felt my eyelids sink closed again.
~*~Seifer's POV~*~
I woke around nine in the morning, or so I guessed by the feel of the sun coming through the window. Selphie was obviously still awake as her fingers were running through my hair. I shifted and muttered something that not even I knew what it meant.
"You better not have woken him!" A strange voice snarled and I felt Selphie tense in my arms as I nestled closer, feigning sleep.
"He talks in his sleep. He'll wake up if I don't comfort him." Her voice was cold and hard, but her hands were still gentle in my hair.
"You'd better not wake him!"
"I have no intention of waking him up to see your ugly mug." Selphie's lips were then on my neck, my cheek and my forehead, her fingers gently tracing over my scar and running through my hair.
"Oh, just stop faking Selphie and admit you are who you are."
"I am not Selphie Tilmitt, I am Riannon Lian and this is Alexander, like I've told you four times already. You could just leave me alone on my honeymoon, instead of accusing me of being someone I'm not."
"You could admit the truth and save all this bullshit."
"You could accept the truth and leave me the hell alone."
"Show us some ID and we'll leave you two alone." I felt my eyes widen. I knew we didn't have any fake ID, but she pulled away from me, gently untangling her body from mine as she left the bed. I murmured and muttered as I'd seen other people do in their sleep when they're moved as I heard her shuffling about in her bag.
"Here!" I heard her slap something into the strange voice's hand and then heard a grunt.
"It's right, sorry for disturbing your honeymoon." The voice left and I pushed up, turning to look at her.
"Where did you acquire fake ID's?"
"Actually, they're not fake, Squall got them at my insistence, I just forgot to give you yours."
"So we're a married couple?"
"Yep, all the partners are, thing is, you've got four brothers."
"Man that's a big family, don't know if I'd like chickenwuss as a brother though."
"Steven to you." Her voice was teasing as she spoke and I laughed and held a hand out, wanting to see my ID. It had my photo on it alright and my name was Alexander Lian.
"So Riannon, how are you going to explain this to Irvine?"
"Fuck Irvine." Obviously still a touchy subject. Something not worth touching right now. I drew her down beside me, wrapping my arms around her waist, content to rest my head on her shoulder as I felt sleep tugging at me again.
"You still tired?" Her voice was soft and I nodded against her shoulder, holding her tighter. She wriggled in my hold and I reluctantly let her go, watching as she pulled from my grasp and slid off the bed.
AN: So, review please? Make a poor author happy?
