~The Messenger and The Knight~



~The Balamb Nutcracker~



~Last Chapter~



Irvine walked over to the door 'When I get the lapdog his homework I'll go find Selphie and apologize, even though I have nothing to apologize for.' He started to turn the knob....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Private Examining Room~



'Shit' that was all that went through Seifer's mind as he heard the door being opened. Whereas Selphie didn't think anything her eyes just widened in fear.

~Infirmary Lobby~



Just before Irvine was about to open the door the Doctor grabbed him by the wrist. "Mr. Kinneas, before deliver whatever it is you must deliver. I would like to take another look at your nose, it seems to be healing crooked. Irvine let go of his grip on the doorknob and reached for his nose. "Really?" Irvine yelped when he realized it was true. The Doctor led him towards the other examining room swiftly to fix his crooked nose.

~Private Examining Room~



Seifer sighed thankfully, 'Note to self tell Cid to pay that woman a raise.' Selphie sighed along with him 'That was definetly Irvine.' Seifer looked up and found her scowling. "What's got you so..." was all Seifer could get out before Selphie kissed him again passionately. 'Hyne, he tastes good' was all that went through Selphie mind before she knew she had to end it. She pulled back from Seifer then kissed his cheek. "I'm hungry, want me to go get us something to eat?"

Seifer just nodded, trying not to make the fact that the kiss effected him so much obvious.

"Yeah, sure. Sounds good, Messenger Girl."

Selphie just sighed and shook her head. "Well if I'm the Messenger what's that make you, the Knight?"

Seifer smirked, "You could say that."

Selphie did her version of his smirk which looked an awful lot like a grin. "Well if you insist on calling me Messenger girl I'll just have to refer to you as the lapdog?"

Seifer sighed, "Ok Ok, no more Messenger girl, ok SELPH."

Selphie grinned, "Much better, Seify." Selphie replied before hopping off the top of him.

One second after she had her feet on the ground Irvine walked in.

He was facing towards the lobby. "Thanks M'am my nose if straight again." He looked into the room to see Selphie sitting on the chair next to Seifer's hospital bed. 'What's she doing here?' He observed her as she was observing an "unconcious" Seifer. 'Oh well, might as well apologize.'

"Selphie?" Irvine said warily.

Selphie looked at him giving him a look that would make Ifrit rtun away crying. "What do you want Irvine?" Selphie said with enough venom to knock a sorceress flat on her butt.

"I'm dropping the lapdog's homework off." Irvine said trying not to pale in the face from Selphie's look.

"Is that it in your hand?" Selphie asked monotonely.

Irvine nodded.

Selphie walked up to him and snatched the small file out of his hand keeping eye contact. "I'll make sure he get's it."

Irvine gulped, "Selphie I want to apologize for how blunt I was earlier about..."

Selphie cut him off in mid sentence, "I don't want your apology."

"But Selph.." Irvine placed a hand on her shoulder.

Selphie immediatly and with all her might kicked him in the balls. Irvine groaned loudly in pain bending forward. Selphie a split second later uppercuts him breaking his jaw. He falls into a limp pile on the floor unconcious. "Asshole." Selphie walks out into the lobby and on her way out tells the Doctor. "Sorry I left a small mess for you on the floor in there." The Doctor just sighs and waves her off, "It'll be moved by the time you get back." Selphie nods and walks out to get her and Seifer some dinner and maybe get his boot from the Training Center.

~Back in the Examining Room~

Seifer just had a smirk on his face. 'Bet that hurt.' He chuckles silently, 'looks like no mini cowboys to look forward to.' He stops, hearing the Doctor walk in, and falls asleep to the sound of rubber on tile.
