SeiferxSquall, othersXSquall
No. Squall is not a puny pretty slut. He's pretty, but very strong!!
I don't like girly ukes. Got that?
AU. Somewhere in a different world....(but much like the Middle-East)
If you like SeiferxSquall, give it a try.

1. Awake
"..........Hn?...."
Squall opened his eyes from the unbearable heat.
"........................................................"
He closed his eyes. And then opened them again.
".................Okay...... It's not a dream...."
He slowly sat up. He could feel the hot sand beneath him. Yes. Sand...
"..................."
He scooped some sand and observed closely.
"..................."
No matter how he looked at it, it was sand.
".............Is this some kind of joke?......"
The sand glittered away as the heated wind blew on Squall. He turned his head 180 degrees. Everywhere he looked was nothing but sand....
Squall was in a middle of a desert...
He looked down at his clothes. They were the usual outfit. White shirt, black pant, and black leather jacket with furry collar....
The same clothes he wore yesterday before falling asleep...
Squall closed his eyes to recall what happened the night before.
------------------Squall was at his desk staring at the multiple paperwork.
The usual...
"Yo, Squall. Any sign of him yet?"
Squall kept his eyes on the forms as the intruder walked in casually.
"...Could you knock at least once in your lifetime, Zell?"
The young boy with blond hair sat down on the leather couch and shrugged.
"You won't answer anyway.... Why waste time?"
Zell reached for a piece of bacon on Squall's untouched breakfast plate.
"You know..... this stuff isn't placed here for decoration....... Have you ever thought of..... eating?....."
Zell took a bite and looked up at Squall. He still had his eyes on the papers, reading and signing.
".......No."
After few seconds, Squall finally answered. Zell narrowed his eyebrows.
"I knew you weren't human.... but could you at least act like one? You need to eat, Squall. Look at you. You're skin and bones!!"
Zell pointed his finger accusingly. Squall sighed and for the first time looked at Zell.
"You asked me if there was any sign of him."
Zell opened his mouth for a rebutal, but the only thing that came out was a loud exhale.
"...Oh yeah.."
Squall rolled his eyes and turned his attention back on his task.
"I mean... don't get me wrong! When I said 'Yo, Squall any sign of him yet?' I didn't mean that I was worried! I meant to say, 'Yo, Squall there isn't any sign of him yet, right?' Because I'm glad he isn't around. Why would I be worried? When he's here, he's always screwing things around. Seriously, that guy get's on my ner--"
"Zell. Are you finished?"
Squall eyed the young SeeD. The blond, getting the hint, closed his mouth and nodded. He got up from the couch and headed for the door. But before he left, he didn't forget to warn Squall.
"You should take a break, Squall. You look like hell."
Zell winked and closed the door. Squall sighed for the second time. But after a while he slightly smiled, remembering the constant ramble Zell made. He knew the blond was worried no matter how much he says he hates him.
Seifer Almasy...
After the defeat of the sorceress, Squall was honored with the position of the commander of SeeD. Not long after that, Squall appointed Seifer as his second in command.... to everyone's surprise.
But no one was as surprised as Seifer himself.
"If you think this will change my ways, you better think twice. Commander."
Seifer snarled. To this, Squall responded only with,
"I don't expect you to."
True to his words, Seifer did whatever he wished. He did accomplish his missions and gave good instructions to his SeeD. Despite everyone's belief, Seifer was an excellent leader.
...But also a constant troublemaker.
He would go out on his own and disappear for days. And when he came back, all the money he made within that month was gone.
Seifer didn't have to say a word for Squall to know what was going on in those absent days... But still, Squall didn't say anything. Seifer was irresponsible and self righteous, but he did get his work done. His skills and experience were far more superior than any other SeeD member..... probably exceeds Squall's as well. But the problem was, he would only use it whenever he felt like to.....
But no matter what happened, Seifer always came back within a week....
........It has been two weeks already...
"Huh........."
Squall sighed and dropped his pen on the desk. He looked at the clock on the wall and squinted his eyes. It was already past lunch time. As always, his food on the table has already gone cold...----------------
Squall opened his eyes as he heard something approaching. By ths sound of it, it was a horse. Not one...... but probably five or more...
And then he remembered, everyone was acting strange the day before. After he got a visit from Zell, Quistis and Selphie came by. And then Irvine. And then a call from Laguna. And finally, Rinoa. They were all worried about one thing.
"Get some rest, Squall."
"You better catch some z's, commander."
"I was just checking how my son was doing. Don't work too hard now."
"Squall..... You really need to rest... I'll help you tomorrow if you let me, but right now.... sleep."
".....I get it."
This was a prank to get Squall out of the office. A plot carried out by his friends. As soon as he fell asleep on the bed, everyone sneaked in and carried him here. And they're all coming with their horses and going to yell, 'surprise--!!'
"............................"
Squall told himself that was what happened and nothing else... But the people on those approaching horses.... They didn't look like anyone he knew....
They were all wearing turbans and were wrapped up in numerous fabrics....
Typical outfit you wear in desert lands.....
And a troubling thought crossed Squall's mind.
Would his friends abandoned him in a middle of no where to wake up alone and confused? Would they bring him to a desert if they wanted him to have a relaxing vacation?
Would they do all this just for a prank?
The answer was obvious...
"Well, well. What have we got here?"
Squall looked up at the six men now surrounding him. They all had dark skin and well built... And since they were mounted on a monstrous horse, they were very intimidating.
No....
His friends wouldn't do this just for a good laugh...
