If You Only Knew

Disclaimer - .......... *cricket chirps* ............. *person coughs* ............. Oh, yeah! *hits self* I don't own FFVIII.

OMG! I got the highest mark in class (tied with 2 other people) on my science test! ^_^ *starts jumping around* And I got the Sims Unleashed because of it and I'm happy, happy, happy! :D

But I'm still mega-"super-nova"-p'od. CANUCKS LOST!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! *cries for four days straight*

Fujin was in complete awe for a few moments, some of the audience had burst into applause, others... were still confused. Irvine came back to help Seifer put away the equipment. As Seifer put his guitar in the case he looked and Fujin and signalled her to come over.

"Go, go!" Rinoa pushed Fujin off her seat and onto her feet.

Slightly embarrased, Fujin walked over to Seifer, "That was... good..."

Seifer stood up, "Thanks... I stayed up all night remembering the words... but as you could figure out..." he sighed, "I still had to cut it up."

Fujin put her hands behind her back and blushed, "You did a good job."

He shook his head, "I'm dead-tired though," he paused, "You... did know the point of that, right?"

"Hmm?"

Seifer groaned, "You're kidding, right?"

Fujin put her hands together, "... I... sort of got it... you somehow figured by singing in front of me and everyone I knew you would talk me into singing with you."

"I thought if you saw me singing up there you'd want to be up there with me," after a short moment of silence, he sighed, "I made a complete idiot out of myself, didn't I?"

Fujin bit her lip, and then shook her head, "... No..." she shrugged, "You just did what I was never going to do," she smiled, "I'll do it."

"Wha...? Really!?"

She looked down to keep her red face away from his sight, "Y-Yeah."

"All right!" excited, Seifer grabbed Fujin's hands, causing her head to jerk up and get even redder, "We're going to get first place for sure!"

( LET GO! LET GO! LET GO! ) the tiny voice in Seifer's head screamed.

And slowly, he obeyed that little voice, "So... tommorow's Friday, you'll be coming over to work on the project... we can fit in some rehearsal time, right?"

"Okay, sounds great."

"After final class I'll meet you at your locker and we'll go together, 'kay?"

Fujin played with her hair, "Can't wait."

*** The next day, after school, just outside Seifer's house... is there anything wrong with skipping all the boring stuff? ***

"Just gimme a second..." Seifer was going through his keys, looking very annoyed, and Fujin couldn't blame him, they all looked exactly the same.

( I've got to mark these things, she probably thinks I'm stupid or something ) he tried another key, "Ah, finally!"

Fujin gave small glances to everything in the Den. It wasn't very large, and there wasn't much to look at. She could tell Seifer's family wasn't that wealthy, but it was such a nice place anyway.

Seifer sighed, and began to yell in Russian. Fujin nearly jumped, it was so sudden and loud. She waited for a seconds, ready to expect a loud reply, "Umm... what was that???"

He looked at her, "Just seeing if my grandmother's home," Seifer explained, "She doesn't speak English and has bad hearing... sorry if I scared you."

"It's all right, I was just... surprised..."

"Looks like were the only ones here... except, of course for my grandma's cat," he pointed to the windowsill, a white, fluffy cat was asleep, "... Leo, he won't bother us, he sleeps 22 hours a day."

"Seifer?" an old woman was at the stairs, Fujin could tell this was his grandmother. Like him, she had blonde hair, but hers had almost completely faded into gray.

She walked down the stairs and began to speak in Russian. Seifer replied somewhat louder. His grandmother looked at Fujin, smiled, and spoke again.

"What's she saying?"

Seifer put his hand on the back of his head, "She said you're very pretty."

"Oh, umm... thank you."

Seifer translated for his grandma, who gave Fujin a pleasant look. Seifer kissed her on the cheek and began to go up the stairs, "Come on, Fujin."

"Oh," Fujin moved forward, bowed in front of Seifer's grandmother, then continued to follow Seifer.

His grandmother watched as they walked up the stairs ( *translated* Oh, how sweet... I better go dig out Lia's (A/N: Seifer's mother) wedding dress, she'll fit in it eventually )

To explain the very stupid last line, my grandma always used to do say something like that whenever my sis got a new boyfriend. O_O I figured it was a joke, but my sis actually DID wear my mom's wedding dress when she got married! *sticks Fujin in a wedding dress* Hmm... *sticks Seifer in a tux next to her* ... PERFECT! :D

Buh-bye
