Chapter Two
The next day Zell and Selphie were sitting on the Quad stage planning the play.
"I've asked Quistis to help with the setting. She is going to ask help from her 'Trepies'." Said Selphie as she happily swung her legs.
"What are you gonna do for costumes?" Asked Zell, absentmindedly.
Selphie looked at Zell. "I'm gonna ask Dr. K if she wouldn't mind helping."
They had been talking about the play all morning, and since it was Saturday then Zell didn't have to worry about classes. Selphie had been busy all night typing out the script and planning. Irvine had given up, at about three in the morning, trying to get Selphie to go to bed. Selphie couldn't sleep she was too excited and too happy to fall asleep. Today Selphie thought Zell would be happy and excited too but he seemed very distant. Something was bothering him. "Zell, what's wrong?"
"Yesterday, when we were in Squall's office, I could hear his thoughts. I think he was talking to his GF's. All I could hear was 'Poor Zell. He'll have to wear a dress' and 'Oh, I forgot about that.' His mouth kept twitching like he was about to smile. I don't understand, and it's confusing me."
"Do you mind that much about what Squall thinks?"
"Yeah, 'cuz he's the only one I can hear."
"I see, but you're not mad that you're Juliet?"
Zell smiled and looked at Selphie. "Of course not. I told you before I didn't mind."
"I'm glad. You know, you're a really good actor, Zell."
"What do you mean?"
"Yesterday, you ever made me believe you were upset to be playing Juliet. Even though you didn't mind being Juliet because Squall was Romeo."
Zell blushed. "I didn't want it to be obvious that I didn't mind. I just hope no one else realised."
"Realised what, chicken?" Said Seifer as he walked over to Zell and Selphie.
"Nothing." Replied Zell.
"It can't be 'nothing'." Seifer said with his usual smirk. "If you tell me I'll tell you one of my little secrets?"
Zell thought about this for a moment. "Okay then. I wanted to be Juliet 'cuz I'm... gayandlikeSquall."
Even though Seifer didn't understand right away he figured it out. "That doesn't surprise me."
Zell's eyes widened. "What? Why not?"
Seifer smirked wider. "I've seen the looks you've been giving the Headmaster. The looks that say 'I wanna suck you... badly'."
"Oh." Zell blushed even more. "So... what's your secret?"
"Well, I'm bi."
"That's your secret?" Asked Selphie.
"Yeah."
Squall was in his office working on the financial accounts when there was a knock, at the door.
"Come in." He said closing the window on his computer.
"Hi, Squall." Said Rinoa as she entered his office and walked to his desk. "I was wondering if you would have lunch me and the others today?"
'I've not had lunch with everyone in quite a while... yeah I will.' "Yeah, sure."
"Great." Replied Rinoa while jumping into the air. "I'll meet you there."
Rinoa leaned over Squall's desk and kissed him on the lips. Then she stood up giggled and ran out of the office.
'Strange woman.'
/Your telling us this?/ Diablos.
'Not really.' Squall wiped his mouth on his sleeve. 'Yuck.'
/Master, you really should dump her, and as soon as possible./ Shiva.
'I know and I will. I just need a reason to.'
/Tell her you gay./ Eden.
'Yeah, I... should.'
At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Selphie was talking about trying to set up Zell and Squall, by putting loads of kissing scenes into the play.
"Selphie you don't have to." Said Zell.
"I know but I want to." Replied Selphie. Seifer laughed at Zell, as he blushed more. His face was now as red a tomato.
"Seifer... do you think I would ever have a chance with Squall?" Zell asked timidly.
"Let's see, maybe if you surgically remove Rinoa from his arm." This made everyone laugh. Everyone wasn't that happy with the raven-haired woman. She always seemed to get on everyone bad side, including Selphie, which is really rare. "Also you would have to tell him that you're gay?"
"Zell's gay!?!" Said Rinoa in the loudest voice ever.
The whole cafeteria stopped and stared at Rinoa who was about five feet away from they're table. Zell looked at Rinoa, who mouth was hanging wide open, his face when as white as a sheet of paper, and he hide his head in his arms. Just then Quistis and Irvine came into the cafeteria, and took they're seats at the table. Rinoa still stood there mouth open and for once speechless, to everyone else's happiness, especially Zell's. Everyone in the room was still looking at the raven-haired woman as if she was mad. Rinoa was about to speak again when Squall came into the room. He looked at the scene infront of him and walked over to his friends. Rinoa decided now was a good time to shout again.
"Zell's gay!?!" Rinoa grabbed onto Squall arm as he looked over at Zell, who had now looked up at Rinoa.
"Thank you so much Rinoa!" Shouted Zell sarcasm dripping from his voice. "Why don't you tell the whole fucking world! Fine I'm gay. There. I like guys, I find guys attractive." With that Zell stormed out of the cafeteria.
"Zell left a hotdog." Said Selphie, trying to return everything back to normal.
Everyone started doing what they, were doing before hand. Squall took a seat beside Quistis, and Rinoa sat beside him still holding his arm tightly.
Squall was the first to speak out of the group. "Rinoa." She turned to face him smiling as if nothing had happened just moments ago. "Rinoa, since today seems to be the day that truths come out then I must tell you something."
"Anything Squallie." She said as her grin grew wider.
"You're dumped." Said Squall icily. He really hated that nickname.
Rinoa's mouth dropped then closed and her lower lip began to quiver and her eyes began to water. "You don't mean that."
"I do." Squall stood up and began walking out of the cafeteria. "Oh and Rinoa, I'm gay."
With that Squall left and headed to the try and find Zell.
Rinoa sat there in her seat crying her eyes out. She looked at each of her 'friends' for comfort. They all looked down at they're food and started eating. Rinoa stood up and quietly walked out and headed for her dorm.
Zell couldn't think properly if he hadn't of walked out of the cafeteria when he did he would have punched Rinoa in the face. Zell headed straight for the Training Centre, he needed to cool of. Just as he walked into the Training Centre he saw a T-Rexasur coming towards the entrance. "Just what I was looking for." Zell said to himself. The blonde approached the dino and started to punch and kick furiously. Within a matter of minutes the dino was reduced to a lifeless carcass. Unknown to Zell was that someone was watching him.
Then a familiar voice was speaking in his head as it had gone millions of times before. 'Zell...' it said.
"Squall, where are you?" Said Zell turning around.
"I'm here." Said Squall from behind Zell. "Are you ok?"
"I'm ok now, just your girlfriend kinda loud." Squall flinched when Zell said 'girlfriend'.
Zell noticed this. "What is it?"
"She's not my girlfriend anymore. I dumped her."
Zell grinned. "Yeah, man. I'm glad you found sense. Welcome to my world, were Rinoa is nowhere to be found."
This got a laugh out of the Headmaster. "Thank you, Zell."
"Anytime man."
The brunette seemed to be in deep thought. 'Maybe I should...'. "Zell, umm, are you really gay?"
Zell blushed. "Yeah."
"Good." Squall smiled a genuine smile.
Squall's reply had taken Zell aback a bit. He looked at the Headmaster curiously. Squall place his hands on Zell waist and pulled the blonde closer him.
"Umm, Squall?" Said Zell.
He wasn't sure what was happening but he didn't mind it. The brunette pulled Zell as close as possible the leaned down and kissed the blonde. Zell gave into the kiss straight away. He wrapped his arms around Squall's neck and kissed back. Squall ran his tongue over Zell's lips and which opened to allow access. They both danced their tongues together, and they stayed like that till they were both desperate for breath.
"Squall..." Zell whispered. He didn't really know what to say.
"Shush, you don't have to say anything. Zell, I'm gay too."
Zell was completely surprised, but happily surprised. "Squall, I... love you." Zell looked down at his feet. "I've loved you since the SeeD exam."
Squall smiled and stroked the blonde's tattooed cheek, making Zell face him again. "Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"I didn't know how anyone would take it. I told Selphie and Quistis, I told them not to tell anyone."
"I knew I should have told Quistis or Selphie." Said more to himself than Zell.
"Umm, Squall what does this mean?"
"Whatever you want it to mean."
Zell smiled. "So that means we're liked... dating. Boyfriend, girl- I mean boyfriend."
Squall chuckled. "Yes."
"Good. Squall, would you mind if we go to the showers?"
"No I don't mind. Why do you ask?"
"'Cuz I need a shower and badly."
Squall laughed again. "Sure. I think I'll have one too."
Squall let go of Zell's waist and took his hand and they started walking out of the Training Centre, together. "I'll go get the stuff I need and I'll meet you at the showers." Said Zell, happily.
"Sure. I'll get mine and meet you there."
Me: WOW!!! That was a long chapter.
Zell: (grinning) I loved that chapter. Oh Squall, we're going for 'showers'.
Squall: (holding Zell's hand) Yes I know. I'm soooo glad I not with Rinoa anymore.
Me: Awwww. Ain't you two sweet.
Squall & Zell: Yeah.
::Squall and Zell start having a make-out session with groping::
Me: (sweatdrop) Oooookay. R&R, please. (To Zell and Squall) Not right now, wait till next chapter at least, please.
