Author's Notes: Thank you to all of those who reviewed. And Maia, you really do keep me going. I know you'll always be there to review for me. I'm still checking out your Pokemon story, I don't care what you say, hehe. Regardless, she had asked me what my inspiration was for the songs in Chapter Three. It's simple, I listen to my favorite singer, Tori Amos frequently. Her strange lyrics always inspire me, which is a wonderful thing, seeing as I'm in a band, myself. In fact, I don't really listen to anyone but Tori Amos. I don't watch MTV, VH1, or even listen to the radio. Yes, I'm obsessed with her. But many of the people here are obsessed with a video game character, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Just about as obsessed as I am with Maia and her fabulous reviews. I love her, I'm going to give her the biggest hug in the world. And also, a very special thanks to YukaYuka, because she seems to be enjoying this as well. Okay, I'm going to shut up now. Here's Chapter Four. Please enjoy.

Ch. 04
Beene's Got Some Pot
[Zell's P.O.V.]
Fuck. And that's all that I could say. Fuck.
I'd waken up this morning with a major craving to get royally fucked up, and I sure as hell did. I'd gotten Quistis to sweet talk an underground friend into getting us some fine ass weed. It was sweet as hell. Even the fucking smoke smelled sweet, can you believe that?
I held it between two of my fingers like a cigarette, and took a long, hard drag. I kept the smoke in my mouth for a few moments, taking in the wonderfully sweet flavor. Then I exhaled, watching as the pale gray smoke sifted out of my mouth as if I had a fire set off somewhere deep inside of me.
I passed it to Quistis, and she instantly obliged. She smoked almost as well as I did, which was a bit of a surprise. She looked so sexy, innocent, even. She didn't seem like the kind of girl who could handle pot.
"You did good," I said, resting my arms on the couch as I sit back. "You did real good, Quistis. This shit is nice."
Quistis exhaled, raising an eyebrow at me, still looking gorgeous behind the thin mist of sweet smoke.
"I know," she boasted, handing the blunt to Squall. "It leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. Isn't that right, Squall?"
I grinned as I looked across the table to Squall. He held it between his fingers almost as skillfully as Quistis and me. I nodded, watching as he inhaled the smoke, letting it stay in his mouth for a little bit. Then he breathed out, exhaling. I ran a tongue across my lips.
"Yeah," he said.
"Yeah?" I scoffed. "Bullshit. It's fucking awesome."
Squall laughed, handing me the blunt. I reached out, taking it skillfully between my fingers. I brought it to my lips, taking a longer, harder rag than before. I swirled the smoke around in my mouth before letting the smoke practically bleed out of my mouth, slowly. It'd taken me years to master that. And I looked so fucking cool when I did it. I grinned.
I heard Quistis groan when I brought the blunt up to my lips again. I took another drag, almost swallowing the smoke that sat in my mouth. I looked at her, staring her straight in her eyes as I exhaled slowly. I couldn't help but still grin as I kept staring at her, the smoke becoming a veil between our faces.
I handed the blunt out to her, holding it between my fingers. I felt my grin fade into a smile, feeling kind of stupid as I sat there, just looking into her eyes. I kept staring. They were so blue. Like the waters coming up against the beach. It didn't matter, I didn't have to feel like an idiot. Because she was staring at me the same exact way. The smoke had drifted away. It was gone now, it'd completely thinned out. It was just me and Quistis, staring at each other. Damn, she looked so good. How could she just sit there like that? How could she stand hanging around with me? I mean, I was such an idiot back then. Just, that stupid garage band ordeal. Sure, back then, it was cool. And even still, it's what got us here. But, looking back, I feel like a jackass. Quistis could've gone onto bigger and better things. It didn't make any sense.
Dammit.
A razor sharp pain struck my fingers, and I looked down to notice that the neon orange ash had gotten me. I instantly threw the stupid thing into the ashtray. I waved my hands in mild pain and clinched my teeth, trying not to curse.
"Fuck," I blurted, breaking the silence.
I heard Squall chuckle. I shook my head, looking back up at Quistis. She still had her sapphire eyes intent on me. I searched her face for a sign of laughter, the slightest smile. There was nothing. She was completely serious. Completely statuesque. I felt something warm inside of me. I shook it off, leaning forward a little bit in my seat on the couch. Man, what was this?
I noticed Quistis was leaning forward too, coming closer to me. I craned my neck slightly, narrowing the gap between us. She leaned forward, almost bending her entire upper half, and slammed her mouth into mine. I could feel her tongue struggling to get into my mouth, but I pushed mine forward, massaging the insides of her mouth. I put my hand up on the side of her face, stroking her cheekbone. I felt her hand rub the back of my neck, moving up slowly to play with my hair. She craned her neck in one direction and I craned mine in the other, causing our tongues to fight each other in a horrible battle of the sexes. Our breathing had become extremely heavy, we were basically panting like dogs in each other's mouths. It was so fucking hot. I could feel the sweat building beneath my fingertips as I caressed her face. It made me wonder if she could feel my hair getting slick. She moaned into my mouth, which only got me sprung. I was a fucking rock. I suddenly let out a long, hard moan when I felt her hand rubbing on my crotch.
"Mph," I managed when Quistis basically lunged at me, pushing me back onto the couch. She was lying on top of me, shoving her tongue deep into my mouth. I kept pushing my tongue beside it, into her mouth, making her moan inside of my mouth. I thrust my hips up into her, grinding her with my hard cock. She moaned hard, making me do it again. And again. Fuck, just dry humping her like this was about to push me over the edge.
I ran my hands down along to her back, grabbing onto her soft, firm ass. I pushed it down, onto my crotch, making both of us moan from the immense pleasure. And this was sex with clothes on. I wasn't too sure if I could handle sex without any clothes.
"Oh, Zell," she breathed, rubbing my chest.
"Quistis," I groaned, wrapping my forearms around her slender waist.
Suddenly, I felt a hot sensation building up in my boner. I knew I was about to cum.
"Baby," I murmured into her mouth, our tongues still fighting. "I'm about to cream myself, baby. I'm about to cream my pants."
"Good," she moaned, rocking into my crotch, pushing me off of the ledge. I came long and hard inside of my pants, breathing heavily as I felt the hot liquid get caught in my pubes and boxers.
I laid there, sweating, not really understanding what had just happened too well. But I wasn't about to complain. That had been fucking awesome.
I put my arms behind my head and looked up at Quistis, who sat up, straddling my waist. I grinned up at her, but she didn't grin back. She offered me a tiny smile, leaned down, gave me a peck on the lips, and then climbed off of me. I sat up on the couch, watching as she left the living room. Had I done something to piss her off? What the hell?
I shook my head, not really understanding the situation, and then finally realized something. Squall. Squall had left. He had been here earlier, but, when Quistis and I started kissing, I guess he'd left. I sighed. That really wasn't too cool of me to just start acting like that with Squall around. Suddenly, I felt like a fucking prick. I rested my head back, and thought about it for a few seconds. Should I go check on him? Would that make anything better? I wasn't sure. But I knew that I had to do something, I couldn't just brush it away. So after deciding to go make sure Squall was doing alright, I got off of the couch. But I was going to make a quick side trip to the bathroom. After all, I had wipe the cum off from my boxers. It was kind of messy.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[Quistis' P.O.V.]
The water felt nice, falling down onto my naked body like that. I rubbed a single bar of soap along my arms, making a nice, fluffy lather. I washed myself clean, letting the hot water dance in little fountains all over my skin. I was still a little in shock about what had happened. All I could do was hope that it was the blunt that had made me do it. If it had really been me, well, then I felt kind of easy. It didn't matter how much I liked Zell. I had no right to just, dive on top of him like that. It was like I was a bit dirty. I don't know. I just felt the horrible need to shower after that strange encounter. No, it wasn't Zell's fault at all. I knew that. I just couldn't help myself. It was like there was something that had taken a hold of me. It must've been the blunt. It was the only thing that made sense. I, myself, had more logic than that. At least, I thought so.
I ran my hands through my hair, letting the coconut scented shampoo foam up between my fingertips. I gently clawed my hair, streaking it with the shampoo. I felt the wonderful fragrance of coconut fill my nostrils. I smiled at nothing. Maybe I was smiling at the thought that I was probably a little high. Maybe I was smiling at the thought that I had made Zell cum. I wasn't really positive.
I ran my hands through my hair to wash the shampoo out, looking at my feet as some of the foamed remains landed on my toes. The water washed it away, into the drain. Washed everything away. I wish it could wash this dirt away. It was kind of ironic, wasn't it? Water could put out the most horrific blaze, but it couldn't put out that feeling of shame you get when you've done something and you don't really understand why.
I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a nearby towel. I dried my hair off first, then moved to my arms, and eventually made my way down to my feet. Then I wrapped the warm towel around my body, revealing just a little bit of cleavage, and allot of leg. I looked into the mirror, my hair looking a bit rough, just a tiny darker than it usually was due to my recent shower. I didn't really recognize my face. I looked kind of like a stranger, even to myself. There was just something about me. I looked into my eyes, I could literally see a distant sadness inside of them. Why? What was so wrong about what I had done? I knew it had been the weed. It just had to have been. I'm twenty three years old, Zell is twenty two. And it's not like it was rape or molestation or anything. Neither one of us forced each other to do anything. It was totally consensual, and I knew that. I really needed to get out of this little slump. There was no reason to be upset. It had just happened so quickly, that's all. Neither one of us were at fault, because there was nothing to be at fault about. Everything was fine. Both of us were just a little high. Nodding at my reflection, I saw that little sparkle return to my eyes. I smiled.
Then I headed out of the bathroom, down the hall, and into my bedroom. After I shut my door, I dropped my towel. I headed straight to my dresser, and pulled out some panties and a bra. Then I moved over to my closet, and pulled out a red halter top and some blue jean shorts that were short, tight, but surprisingly comfortable. They were kind of like hot pants. After I got dressed, I grabbed some cute red sandals with various straps, and waltzed over to my bed. I collapsed onto it, letting out a sigh of contentment as I hit the soft mattress. I cuddled up with my pillows and let out a soft yawn. I was going to rest just a little bit. After all, I wanted to just relax a little bit after what had happened. Later tonight, I would have no problem with going out and doing something. But right now, I just needed to take a little catnap.

[Squall's P.O.V.]
I looked through a veil of tears when I heard someone knocking at my door. I sniffed, instantly wiping at the silly tears in my eyes. I was such a loser.
"Come in," I said weakly, running a hand through my messy hair. I looked over my shoulder, only to see Zell walking through the door. I felt something weird inside of me. I stared at him as shut the door behind him.
He stood there, showing me his palms. He furrowed his eyebrows, obviously concerned about something.
"What?" I asked, although a bit coldly, not really liking the edge to my voice.
Zell pushed his hands into his pockets, walking towards me. I moved my gaze down to his feet. He was barefoot. I really didn't want to look into his eyes.
"Squall," he said in a surpassingly soft tone. I let out a soft sigh, realizing I had to look into his eyes. I looked up from his feet, past his baggy jeans, past his tight wife beater, and into his shimmering blue eyes.
"Zell," I murmured.
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened back there. I know I'm a jackass, a piece of shit, all that. I know, so, I'm sorry. Really."
"You're not a jackass, Zell. You're not a piece of shit, either."
"Then why were you crying?"
"What?"
"Your eyes are red. You must've been crying."
"That's, that's not it at all. There was just something in my eye."
"Don't give me that shit. Tell me the truth, Squall. Were you crying?"
"No."
"The truth, Squall."
"Fine. Yeah, I was crying. What's it to you?"
"I'm sorry."
All of the sudden, Zell wrapped his arms around me, bringing me into a warm embrace. I'm sure it was just a physical apology, according to him, but it seemed kind of romantic to me. But of course, he pulled away.
"I'm sorry," he echoed.
"It's no big deal."
"Then why were you crying?"
"Because."
"Because of what?"
"I don't know."
"Did you feel left out?"
"Kind of."
"What? You want Quistis? I thought you wanted Xu."
"No, no. It's not like that. It's just, I don't know. It's hard to explain."
"I'm here for you."
"Thanks, but I'm fine."
"I don't think so."
"Quit worrying about me. Aren't you supposed to be the bad ass one?"
"I still am."
"Prove it."
I forced a smile, really just playing with Zell. But all of the sudden, he took a step up to me, grabbed my ass and slammed me into him, with his package against mine. I could feel him. He was still hard. I was starting to get hard too. And as if that wasn't enough, Zell brought his mouth to mine and shoved his tongue into my mouth.
I wasn't stupid enough to pull away, so I didn't. I just stood there, completely shocked, with Zell massaging my tongue with his own. After a few moments, Zell pulled away, grinning at me, a strange glimmer in his eyes.
"How was that?" he asked, letting go of me. "Am I still a bad ass?"
"…Yes," I whispered, then instantly regretted it. "No, no, what the? What the hell? Why did you kiss me? Are you gay?"
"Nope?"
"Then what's the deal?"
"I don't know."
"Are you high?"
"A little bit."
"That must be it."
"Not really."
"What?"
"Squall, you're a cool guy. Like a brother to me."
"That's kind of sick."
"Don't be so technical. I just, I don't know. I definitely like Quistis, she's amazing. But, you know, I keep giving you this shit about you being gay. And it might be because I'm a little, I don't know. Insecure."
"Are you bi?"
"What? No, no, not really. I mean, I would never let a guy fuck me or any shit like that. No way. I'm just, kind of, I don't know. Open minded, yeah. I'm an open minded kind of guy."
"Well, that's good, I guess."
"Are you open minded?"
"Me? No, I. I don't know. Maybe just a little bit, but I think most guys are."
"Probably. Well, sorry. Just, don't tell Quistis. You gotta keep this between us."
"Don't worry."
"Thanks. Aight, well, I think I'm gonna go play some video games. You wanna come along?"
"No, I'm awful at video games."
"So?"
"So, you'll kick my ass."
"Big deal."
"Come on. It's just to waste some time until tonight. I wanna go to a bar or something."
"Yeah, that would be good."
"So, let's waste some time!"
"Alright, alright. I'll come along. But you're still gonna kick my ass."
"And that's the way it should be!"
And with that, Zell and I left my room, heading into his where we could play some video games. It was so strange. So much had happened in such a short period of time. It was almost as if it were some kind of crazy dream. Zell and Quistis had started making out so quickly, basically dry humping on the couch. Then, Zell came to check on me and ended up shoving his tongue down my throat. And then, he told me he was a little bit curious. He mentioned that he'd never let a guy fuck him, but he had never said anything about fucking a guy. Damn, I had a dirty mind. I needed to fix that. Well, maybe.
