Author's Note:
This was a fanfic that I never actually intended to write or to finish. But I was just too inspired not to write it. So I let myself get side-tracked from finishing my novel to write this, and I actually wrote it in a few days. It's different from any yaoi I've ever read because not only does it not describe every detail of what Squall and Seifer do in bed, it also ends with a break up. I thought that that made it a lot more credible. The main challenge with this was to make a bizzarre situation like Squall getting expelled from Balamb Garden and then getting back in to sound believable. And of course the best way to do that was.... cameo appearances! Of course to catch the cameo appearances, you would have to have gone to the same two high schools that I did. It was a lot of fun for me to make fun of people I know in a fanfic though.
Also, another one of my stories made a cameo appearance: "The Crystal Gate." That was the first novel that I ever finished and it was done for National Novel Writing Month 2002. And yes, it is as bad as this story makes it sound. I don't plan to ever publish it, nor do I even plan to get it out there on the internet. The whole thing is 333 pages hand-written because I didn't have a laptop yet, and I don't feel like typing it now since it's one of the worst things I've ever written. It's also kind of interesting that the gigantic popcorn and coke thing was based on a real expirience.
Anywhoo, it was surprisingly easy for me to write from Squall's viewpoint. That shocked me, since I actually didn't like Squall much when I first started Final Fantasy 8. I thought he was a total asshole in fact, because I have issues with guys who don't dance. Besides that, he was a jerk to Quistis, and she's my favorite character in FF8 (which is why I had to give her an appearance in my fic). Anyways, Squall grew on me after a while. Then in one of the scenes where he was lying in bed thinking, I realized that actually Squall and I have a lot in common. It's kind of hard to go into, but I think writing this proved to me that Squall and I are a bit alike.
I'm glad that I took the time to write this, because otherwise I would still keep asking myself, what if Squall got kicked out of school... what would an Edward convention look like... what if Squall had dated Seifer, just like Rinoa had... where did Squall get his ring from... LOL, I think this is the only fic that actually discusses where an RPG character got his clothes from. That was one of my favorite scenes in this. So I hope no one flames me for not bashing every female character in the game and making Squall end up with Seifer permanently and all that. I'm sick of really contrived yaois that aren't even believable, and that was one motivation for writing this fic.
