If You Only Knew

Disclaimer - I ALMOST owned Final Fantasy VIII, but noooo, I just HAAAAD to sell it to SQUARESOFT! Oh, yeah, I don't own "A Moment Like This" either. ;_; I love that song!

Right now, it is 11:10 PM, I am extremely tired, but this is for the good of Saifuu! *falls down on knees* I am not worthy, I am not worthy...

Woooo! Longer chapter! ^_^ God, I hope people are reading this. ;_;

The song will be played in between these: ((blah blah blah))

Seifer looked over the assignment as he talked with his cousin, Squall Leonhart, (A/N: ...) on the phone.

"You already have a project? Dude, honours must suck," Squall sighed, "Who'd you get paired up with?"

Seifer thought for a moment, "Fujin Kazeno."

"Whoa, sucks to be you."

"What? Why?"

"... Are you BLIND or something? Her face scares the hell out of me! Fujin is a total witch! Acts like one too. And you know what else, she--"

Seifer hung up.

"That was mean, Squall shouldn't have said those things," it was Seifer's little sister, Vivian.

Seifer looked at her, "I thought I told you to stop listening in on my phone calls."

She sighed, "You hung up on him. You didn't want to hear what he was saying anymore," she smiled and put her hands on his shoulders, "You like... what's her face, don't ya?"

"Vivian, if you listen in on my calls one more time--"

"Avoiding the question!" Vivian screeched in a sing-song voice.

Seifer dug into the pocket in his trench coat and pulled out a ten-dollar bill, "Go away and you can have the money."

Vivian took the money out of his hand, "Merci, mon frere."

Seifer looked at his watch, "7:12... dance starts soon," he leaned back on the sofa ( Should I go? I'm not a great dancer, and I don't have a girlfriend to dance with... and I don't really like the girls here anyway ) Seifer looked at the ceiling and rolled his eyes ( Wow, I knew Squall was an idiot, but he shouldn't have said all that about Fujin. Maybe she's kind of plain and maybe she blends in with the crowd... ) Seifer groaned ( Great, one step closer to becoming Squall. Okay, scratch that. Fujin's... well...)

He sighed and shook his head, "... I need a word..."

*** Fujin's house ***

"Fujin! If you're going, you better go now!" Sora yelled from down the stairs, "You ready yet?"

"All... right," Fujin walked down the stairs slowly, trying to keep her balance. Sora lent Fujin her black high-heels, and Fujin was just having the time of her life trying to walk in a straight line, "I'm not so sure about these shoes..."

Sora smiled, "You look great!"

Fujin laughed weakly, "Okay, whatever you say."

"No, really!" Sora moved Fujin's hair out of her face, "There, perfect!" she giggled, "Come on, let's go."

By the time Sora was already at the door, Fujin was a few steps away from the stairs, "Ahh!" she tripped and fell on the floor, "Ow..."

"..." Sora looked up the stairs, "Jerrad! We need a ride!"

*** The Dance ***

Fujin was practically glued to the punchbowl for the longest time. (A/N: Sounds like me... if we actually had a punchbowl at our school dances -_-) She looked up at the clock ( 7:55... Raijin's still not here ) She looked around ( Where is he? )

The song that was playing stopped, and a new one came on.

(( What if I told you it was all meant to be? Would you believe me? Would you agree? ))

Fujin crossed her arms ( I've been standing here for 20 minutes, I look like a total idiot )

(( ... So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy... ))

Someone tapped Fujin's shoulder, "What are you doing alone?"

Fujin looked at who that 'someone' was, "Seifer?"

(( ... A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime... ))

"What are you doing here?" Fujin asked.

Seifer shrugged, "I'm not exactly sure, you?"

"Waiting for someone."

"... Oh," he picked up a glass of punch, "Is it spiked?"

Fujin shook her head and laughed quietly, "No, I'm pretty sure it's not."

(( ... For that one special kiss, oh I can't believe it's happening to me... ))

Seifer gulped down the punch quickly, "Would you like to dance with me?" he blurted out. ( Oh, great, here it comes )

(( ... Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this... ))

Fujin's face turned pink, "Y-Yeah, okay," she walked closer to him. But because of her shoes, she lost her balance and fell into Seifer's arms with her head against his chest.

( Wow... she's so soft and light... ) a small smile appeared on Seifer's face.

(( ... Everything changes, but beauty remains... ))

Fujin stood up straight, but fell back down again, "I-I'm sorry, it's th-these shoes," she tried to stand up straight again.

"No, it's okay, just stay like that."

(( ... I can't explain. Well, I may be dreaming, but 'till I awake... ))

Seifer slowly placed his hand on the lower part of Fujin's back, as, at the same time (and speed), Fujin was putting her arms around Seifer's neck.

(( ... Can't we make this dream last forever? And I'll cherish all the love we share... ))

Fujin didn't want to move at all, the way they were together, right at that moment, felt perfect. She just wanted to fall asleep, like a baby in her mother's arms, while Seifer just never wanted to let go.

(( ... For a moment like this, some people search forever... ))

"So, uhh..." Seifer attempted to strike up a conversation, "What are we making the Eiffel Tower out of?"

Fujin shrugged, "Popsicle sticks and glue, I guess..."

"Okay," he nodded, "Well... uhh..."

(( ... Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this... ))

Seifer looked up ( What's wrong with me? It sounds like something crawled down my throat and died... )

(( ... I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall... ))

It was almost like the two changed places. Seifer was panicking and stuttering, as Fujin was calm and laid back, almost without a care.

So why, so suddenly was Seifer so worried? He has danced with girls before, and he just met Fujin.

And on the other hand, Fujin has never danced with a boy before, so how come she wasn't frozen like the first time her friends and her sister danced with boys?

Maybe it was because when they first danced with boys, they were 13. And at the time, all Fujin could do was watch, standing by the punchbowl.

"Seifer?" Fujin said quietly.

"... Yeah?"

Fujin looked up at him, "Have you ever danced with someone before?"

(( ... So let me tell you this... ))

Seifer nodded.

"Hmm," Fujin put her head back down, "You're a little uptight..."

( Uptight? ) Seifer blinked, has anyone ever called him that? Well, probably once or twice, by some guy in his class. But a GIRL calling him uptight? To him, it just didn't sound... accurate. Especially since when he first met Fujin his idea or HER was uptight.

(( ... Like this, some people a lifetime for a moment like this... ))

Seifer wanted to ask her the same question, but... no words formed ( ... Maybe she's right, how come I can't talk to her? Maybe it's just the music, it's probably just making me nervous )

"But..." Fujin smiled, "I sorta like you like that."

(( ... For that one special kiss, oh, I can't believe it's happening to me... ))

( ... Wasn't expecting that... ) Seifer looked down at the angel in his arms, "Thanks...?"

She laughed almost silently.

(( ... For a moment like this... o-oh, like this... o-oh, I can't believe it's happening to me... ))

"You're welcome."

(( ... Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this... ))

The music faded away, but Seifer and Fujin still stood together, holding each other for dear life.

And why?

It's God's little secret.

... WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I WROTE THAT LAST LINE!?!?!? *dies* Oh, well, I've been working on this chapter for nearly two days. I didn't pay attention in Science class to think about what should happen. Now I'm dead. (I die a lot, don't I?) Anyway, *bows down* PLEASE REVIEW!!! It feels like I'm writing for one person. Thanks for the reviews, Platinum Angel! They makes me... SO HAPPY!!! *breaks out into tears* WAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Buh-bye
