Author's note: Howzit! Thank's to everybody who reviewed! I love to know what you think and whether I should carry on writing or beat myself to death with a sledghammer. ^__~. Final Fantasy VII belongs to Squaresoft (I womder if they even care about all out disclaimers!) but the story is mine. Cool.
Chapter Six
Sefeth looked around Tey's home. There was nobody there albiet the two of them. The kitchen was light and airy with a vase of daisies on the table and a bowl of fruit by the window. The whole house was cleaned and smelled just like Tey. Her room was definitely not what Sefeth had expected. No, it was what he had expected but not thought possible. The bed covers and curtains were white as were the walls but everything else was a class of colour. Posters of mythical creatures and photos covered nearly every square inch of the walls and mobiles with pinecones and feather along with dreamcatchers and fairies hung from the ceiling. Unicorn models and gnomes, pixies and Logic and Paradox* were placed on her small bedside table and roses, forget-me-nots, daisies, honeysuckle and primroses were placed in vases which in turn were placed on the windowsill. On her desk there were only two items. One, he could see at a glance was her diary. The other, he stepped closer to look was a photo. He picked it up. It was in a silver frame. He was standing in the snow, the blindfold over his eyes and surprised smile on his face. Usually when people are told to smile for the camera they run the risk of looking fake but here there were no cheesy smiles, just him. He placed the picture carefully down and smiled at her. He was confused. How could one individual feel such love for another? He had never felt as if anyone had really cared about him before but she had just waltzed into his life and smashed every opinion and belief that he'd ever had to pieces. He wanted to thank her for that but he didn't know how. But he realised now, it wasn't what you said, or didn't say, to a person. It was how you showed them.
"So.what do you think?" asked Tey grinning impishly.
"It's perfect. You're perfect," he said, drawing her closer.
The next day, the two of them walked to school together, as usual. They attracted the usual surprised stares as people wondered:
"How can the two of them be together?"
"He's such a loser!"
"She's so different!"
Bane glared at him in surprise but could say nothing. His skinny little friend who had forged the note was also with him. Sefeth had, naturally, told Tey what he'd learnt and she felt renewed fury for Bane and the boy whose name was Dennis.
They walked into the classroom. There was somebody else there today. Somebody new. He was a strongly built guy of Sefeth's age. He too had ebony hair although his was cut short. His burgundy eyes were as cold as stone and he had a slight scowl on his face as he sat in the furthest desk from the front. His face was elegant and he was carelessly dressed as if he didn't care about what other people thought if him. Sefeth was prepared to ignore this stranger when Tey suddenly walked towards him.
"Vincent?" she asked, apparently delighted to see this newcomer. Vincent nodded slightly.
"It's good to see you Tey," he said, his voice deep and soft although it carried a slight hint of menace.
"I didn't think you'd be back!" she said whilst Sefeth was left in the dark.
"Well, I am. My parents didn't like Midgar as much as they thought it would. I, however, wish that that hadn't been so. I was thinking of applying for SOLDIER."
"SOLDIER? What's that?" asked Tey. Sefeth answered her.
"You know that new businessman? I think his name is Shinra or something? Yeah. He's the head of the power company that's just recently started studying Mako energy. He's got some fighting force called SOLDIER."
"What's Mako energy?" asked Tey, looking confused.
"They think it's whatever makes up materia. I think that it's energy from the earth," answered Sefeth. Vincent looked impressed.
"You know a lot for someone who lives in Nibelheim," he said.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" chided Tey playfully, her hands on her hips. He gave her a fleeting smile.
"Nothing. I-"
"Hey Smelly! Why don't you just leave Tey and Vincent alone? Can't you see they'd rather be with each other?" asked Bane, standing in the doorway. Sefeth was confused. How did everybody know this Vincent guy? And why should Tey want to be alone with him?
"Why don't you do the world a favour and take a long walk off a short pier, Bane?" asked Vincent, slowly advancing on the bully. Bane backed away.
"What's wrong with you, man? I thought we were on the same side her, you being Tey's boyfriends and all!"
Sefeth gazed at Vincent with new dislike. So, Vincent had once been Tey's boyfriend. He felt the waves of jealousy coming on strongly, threatening to wash him away.
"Go away," said Vincent and to Sefeth's amazement, his archenemy turned around and left. Tey was shifting from one foot to another in her anxiety and Vincent was gazing at him with an impassive look on his face.
"So.that's how you two know each other?" asked Sefeth, trying to keep his voice neutral.
"Yeah. Sort of. It was a long time ago, Sefeth. A year ago," said Tey. Sefeth saw from the look in her eyes that he had no need to be jealous and he attempted a smile, both at her and Vincent.
"Why don't I remember you?" he asked him.
"You were probably to busy studying," said Vincent, not unkindly. "I remember you. You're the guy who Tey's liked for like a year. She's been telling me about you in her letters."
There was no sign of envy on Vincent's face and Sefeth finally relaxed.
"You liked me?" he asked Tey.
"Yeah. I was just sorta scared of you!" she laughed. The school bell rang, it's scream echoing in the corridors. Vincent, Tey and Sefeth settled down for class. People were surprised to see Vincent back and they were happy to see them although it was clear from Vincent's behaviour that the feeling wasn't mutual. Sefeth, to his surprise, actually found himself liking the new boy and felt himself willing to make friends.
Hey. I just wanted to say that me love Vincent! Oookay.now that I'm back to normal.I'm sorry that this one was short but like I said, I got exams. (Goes and sobs in corner). I'll try to write more soon. PLEASE REVIEW! * The book he lent her for those who have forgotten ;)
