Disclaimer: I do NOT own any FF8 characters. But I do own Aykma, and I own myself...Naurwen owns herself. but I can make he do as I wish because...Its my fic..Haha Naur! lol dun worry wont make you do anything that bad!

Zell woke up early the next day. He rolled over in his queen size bed to check the time. 'Hmmm...5:30?....Why the hell am I awake?' he thought. But he got up any way, dressed, grabbed a granola bar from the counter and headed towards the training center quietly.

He arrived at the training center a few minutes later and was almost instantly drawn into battle with a grat. 'This is a good thing..I'm still a little groggy.' He quickly demolished it with one punch, but almost as soon as it died he was drawn into a battle with a T-Rexuar. It rammed into him knocking him down.

"Fck! That smarts!" He quickly got up and tried to summon Ifrit but before he could to T-Rexuar roared and attacked him again this time knocking him unconcious. (spelling? Sorry it's early I'm allowed to make mistakes!)

Seifer walked into the training center. He heard a T-Rexuar roar. It was a bone-chilling roar. It was a dangerous roar. A roar that said it was going to make a kill. ' I really hope it's a grat...Please Hyne let it be a Grat!' he thought and quickly ran towards where he had heard the sound come frome. He arrived just in time to see

Zell being thrown accross the opening. Seifer watched in horror as the T-Rexuar walked towards the small blonde. He took out his gunblade and quickly attacked the beast. It howled in pain and turned to face him. Seifer summoned Alexander and fast a he possibly could and kill it in one hit. He ran over to Zell and gently slapped his face. "Come on dammit! Wake up.." he picked the small blonde up and carried him to the infirmary.

Zell woke in a room other than his own. He blinked a few times and realized he was in the infirmary. Aykma was sitting in the chair next to him. He tried to set up and she gently but forcfully pushed him back down. "You need your energy. Rest." she said smiling.

"Why? Are we going dancing again?" he asked still in a slight haze.

"No. So you can thank Seifer. You owe him your life you know?" she smiled. "If it hadn't been for him you'd be T-Rexuar food"

"Oh." it was at this time Zell noticed Seifer pacing back and forth in front of his room. "Yeah."

Aykma stood up and started to walk out. "I'll send him in."

She walked into the hallway and said something to Seifer. The tall blonde looked in and nodded. He walked in and sat in the now vacant chair next to Zell.

"Um...Thanks..." Zell said rubbing the back of his neck.

"No problem. I had to. You know...Because..Well...If I hadn't they would have kicked me outta Garden."

"I guess.."

Seifer got up to leave and as he reached the door he turned and looked at the small blonde in the bed. "Just don't make me do it again. Next time I may not care if they throw me out or not." he smiled and left.

Zell was allowed to go back to his dorm after Dr. K had Aykma swear she would stay with him and help. She helped him back to his dorm and into his bedroom.

"So..you were saved by someone you saved the world from...The irony.." Aykma teased as she handed him a shirt.

"Yeah, I guess...But there is something I need to tell you." he said and exchanged his torn shirt for the clean one.

"Really? What's that?" she handed him a pair of pants and turned away to allow him to change.

"Um, well he called me the other day and said..Well..um..heh..How do you tell your girlfriend this...Hmm...Well he said that he loved me" he tapped her on the shoulder to let her know she could turn around. She turned and faced him.

"Seifer Almasy....Is...gay?"

"It kinda shocked me. But I always kinda thought it at the same time." Zell said laying down on the couch patting the space next to him.

"Hmm, what did you tell him?" she asked taking the space he had just offered.

"I couldn't say anything. He hung up before I could." Zell said yawning.

"Oh..well..hmm..Do you feel the same?"

"Well..I love you..I can't exactly love a guy now can I?" he looked down at the pale girl next to him.

"Accually, you could be a bi. And you could love a guy." She smiled.

"Well..I can't love two people at once.."

"Whatever you decide I don't care. As long as it is what makes you happy. Even if you do choose Seifer over me." she looked up at him and realized he was already asleep. She quietly got up and grabbed a blanket and covered him and laid back down next to him.

"I love you Zell Dincht.."

Zell woke up again for the thrid time that day. He blinked a few times then realized Aykma wasn't laying next to him anymore. He stood up and looked around. Then went into the kitchen. Where everyone was sitting.

"Zell Dincht! I swear if you EVER worry me like that again, you will NOT be getting back up!" Rags said shaking a finger at him.

"Yea! What she said! You had us so worried! But good thing Seify was there to save you" Naurwen said smiling. (Seifer is her older brother)

"Heh..I remember when you two absoluty hated each other.." Irvine smirked.

"Yeah...Now he's saving your ass...." Squall agreed.

Zell just stood there and sheepishly smiled at everyone. "Heh...you guys are just TO kind." he sat down and Aykma brought him over a bowl of her homemade caraway soup. "So..um..is it safe to go outside? Or are there thousands of people wondering whats going on?" He looked up from his soup.

"Hold on one second! We'll make sure its safe!" Rags said grabbing Naurwen's hand and draged her outside.

A few seconds later.

"ALRIGHT! Everyone please exit this area. Go somewhere else! Like your dorm. Or the Library...Hyne knows you all could study!!!" Rags voice was slightly muffled through the door. But Naurwens came in a little clearer.

"Yes! Everyone go somewhere else!!! Zell needs his rest and wishes to not be bothered!"

The girls stepped back inside and smiled at Zell.

"So..Zell? Did you thank Mr. Almasy for saving your patheitc ass?" Rags asked sitting next to him.

Zell dropped his spoon and everyone stared at her.

"What? Is it something I said?" she slid down a little bit below the table.

"...'Mr. Almasy'? Rags...Are you ok? Does your head need examined?" Squall asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You never really liked him much...Well..you did...But..You know..You didn't like the way he abused the power he was given." Irvine added.

"Well..um..I've got a new respect for the guy is all.. I mean..he did save my best guy friends life."

"Riight.." Naurwen laughed. "And I'm queen of England."

"What's England?" Aykma asked.

"Um..I dunno..A place..in another world" She explained.

"Ok.."

Zell stood up and looked at everyone. "Now if you all don't mind. I would like to have a little bit to myself."

They all stood and left. But before Rags left she put his arms around him and whispered "We need to talk later."

Zell nodded and she left.

He started towards his bathroom to take a shower, but halfway there he was interrupted by a knocking on the door. "Coming!" He walked over to the door and opened it. Looking at the chest of a taller man. He looked up and realized it was Rajin.

"Uh, Hello?"

"Umm...Zell..can..we..uh..talk?"

"Yea. Sure whatever." Zell realized how much taller Rajin accually was than him at this moment. but he stepped aside to let Rajin in.

"So...what brings you here?"

"Well..you know that Seifer is practically in love with you right?"

"Yes..." Zell suddenly became uncomfortable with this conversation.

"Yeah...well..um..How do you get him to like you so much?" Rajin began to turn a bright red.

"Um..I..uh..You gay?"

"Well..half..I'm bi."

"Oh..Well..I don't know. He just likes me I guess.." Zell rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Have you told him you liked him?"

"Well..no."

"You probably should. Get it out on the table. Maybe he likes you too..And is just to afraid to say it."

"Ok..Thank you! I'll try it!" he got up and left.

'I think that is the longest time he has gone without saying ya know?' Zell thought and continued to head towards his shower.
