Selphie and Seifer

by Willow Tilmitt

A story where Selphie leaves the Garden in search of Seifer. Quite funny in places and look out for Laguna's cousin Casey (I know he doesn't really exist in the game, but he is my creation and I love him! Mwahahah)

6. First Night Serving

Chapter 6: First Night Serving

"You guys ready?"

Seifer and Selphie jumped apart guiltily, each one smoothing down their clothes and their hair self consciously even though they hadn't actually done anything. Casey raised an eyebrow in humour as he watched them from the doorway.

"Yep. We're just coming now. I was just making sure, that Selphie had applied her lipstick properly. We can't have her going downstairs looking like a tramp now can we? That would definitely scare off the punters." Seifer knew he was babbling as he looked from Caseys amused smirk, to Selphie who was staring at the floor, blushing a shade of red incredibly close to the colour of her hair. He quickly brushed past Casey and out of the door.

Selphie looked up slowly at Casey and shrugged helplessly. "I... uh-"

"Don't worry about it kid. No explainations needed." He reached an arm to Selphie and she walked over to him, allowing him to drape an arm casually across her shoulders as they walked downstairs to the pub. "It's showtime kid!" Casey winked.

Selphie looked around the pub, her green eyes wide as people started flooding in. She wrung her small hands nervously in front of her, chewing her lower lip.

Seifer noticed her apprehension and walked over to her swiftly, kicking the jukebox as he went, which set it off playing "Dead Ringer For Love" by Meatloaf and Cher. He then rested a hand on her elbow as he leaned down to her and spoke against her ear. "You'll be fine. Just stay close to me and Casey. Relax!"

Selphie closed her eyes, the feel of Seifers breath on her neck strangely reassuring. She then nodded and opened her green eyes looking up at him. "Ok, lets do it!" she grinned and walked over to the bar. "What can I getcha?"

Seifer smiled slightly as he watched her serve her first customer, then caught Casey's attention and motioned for him to watch Selphie who was now serving like a pro. Casey grinned and walked over to Selphie, resting a hand on her hip. "Way to go kid. You're a natural."

"Thanks" Selphie grinned as she continued to serve.

Casey chuckled and walked back to a group of people waiting to be served.

Selphie looked over to Seifer for a second and shrugged as if to ask if he was pleased with how she was doing. Seifer nodded once and motioned for her to continue serving. Selphie stuck the tip of her pink tongue out playfully before doing as she was told.
