Chapter VI

Seifer woke up with Zell next to him once again. Every night Zell would wake him and ask if he could sleep in Seifer's bed. Of course Seifer acted like he mind, but of course he didn't...not really.

Zell woke up, looking up at Seifer. When he noticed the other blonde looking at him he blushed. "Morning." He whispered softly.

Seifer was quiet, looking at the blonde boy. He smirked when Zell blushed, still quiet. Then he pulled the small boy closer.

"Seifer?" Zell frowned, wondering what Seifer was doing.

Seifer leaned even closer, before opening his mouth slightly. "You smell." He muttered and got up.

"I don't!" Zell pouted.

The other blonde raised a brow, looking at Zell. "You do."

"Don't!" The smaller blonde stuck out his tongue.

From the other bed they could hear a giggle. Both turned towards the brunette girl who was sitting up in her bed. "Aw, young love." Selphie sighed, clasping her hands together.

"Selphie!" Zell growled and jumped out of bed, running towards Selphie. Before he could hit Selphie two arms had all ready pulled Selphie away from him.

Irvine glared at Zell and stuck out his tongue. "Don't hurt the lady, mate"

Selphie looked up, grinning. Irvine winked at her. Both Zell and Seifer started to make sounds in the back.

"Why thank you dear sir." Selphie played along, beaming.

"Give me a break." Seifer groaned and left the others alone. Zell followed quickly, leaving the two alone.

"Do you think you will have to leave soon?" Zell asked softly, playing with a flower.

Seifer shrugged.

"I don't really want you to leave."

Seifer shrugged again.

"There are so many different gardens, do you think we will all go to the same?" Zell asked, looking at the flower in his hand.

Once again Seifer shrugged.

Zell turned to look at him and pouted. "I want to stay at the same garden as you."

"Why?" Seifer asked suddenly.

Zell smiled, leaning closer to the blonde boy. "Because I like you so much."

Seifer looked at Zell and smiled. "Zell."

"Yes?" The blonde asked closing his eyes as he leaned against Seifer.

"Why do you want to be my friend?"

Zell's eyes opened. "Because even you need a friend, and I like you."

Seifer nodded. "I'm...glad you like me." He decided and smiled to himself.

"Seifer..." Zell pushed himself up and looked at his hands, afraid to face Seifer. "I really like you, really really like you." He looked up and blushed. "Can I kiss you?"

Seifer frowned. "What?"

"People who like each other kiss each other, don't they?" Zell asked. "Matron told us, didn't she?"

Seifer shrugged and looked away, thinking for a while. "Sure..."

Zell grinned and leaned over Seifer, giving him a quick kiss on his lips. When he pulled back he blushed. "Do you really like me too?" He asked softly.

Seifer nodded. "Yeah, I really like you too."

That night Matron was sitting in the kitchen while the children were sleeping, holding a letter in her hands...

Author's Notes: Please review
Midgetgem: No problem!
Unity-Song: Yup yup I was trying to make all of you think it was Seifer. It was pretty annoying because I couldn't use names. I'm thinking about writing a sequel with them in Balamb G. I'll give Squall a bigger role in the sequel if you read it!! Sigh...I'm horrible...
Tynne: Don't feel like that! I was trying to make you think that!
