Zell lay on his bed, looking at the ceiling. He sighed. It had been almost two weeks since the Seifer-incident, Seifer hadn't bothere him since. They hadn't even seen each other. The blonde pouted. "I don't want to think about him." He muttered to himself. The blonde closed his eyes. It used to be fun, when we were young...I loved him...
"I still love him." Zell whispered, opening his eyes. "Why do I love him..."
Someone knocked on the door of his dorm room. "Zelly! Wakey wakey!" Rin yelled from the other side of the door, knocking on it again.
Zell pulled his blanket over his head when he heard Rin, trying to block his friend out for a second. He didn't feel like talking to Rin right now, not with his Seifer problems that Rin seemed to think of like they were simple. 'Just tell him or kiss him.' Rin told him everytime. "I'm not here!" Zell tried, hoping to make Rin go away. But he knew it wouldn't work, it never seemed to work.
"Then why do I hear you?" Rin grinned and tried to find a code to open the door. "Please let me in sweetheart, people are staring." And there were, some students had stopped walking looking at Rin when he had used the woord 'sweetheart' for his friend, Zell.
Zell shot up in his bed, glaring in annoyance at the door. "What did you call me?" He asked, almost hissing.
"Sweety-pie," Rin grinned. He could hear Zell stand up and get out of his bed on the other side. Zell's footsteps came closer and soon Zell was standing in the doorway, looking at Rin as if he would kill him if he would say another word. "Hi." Rin said simply, letting himself in, walking past Zell inside the room.
"I hate you." Zell muttered, returning to his bed. He let himself fall on it, hearing Rin sit down in his chair.
Rin looked at him from his place in front of Zell's desk. He watched the blonde for a while, trying to come up with something smart and usefull to say to the blonde. He wanted Zell to cheer up, not look like this. He wanted Zell and Seifer together, but how? "Hate you too." Rin decided, grinning. He pushed his hands behind his head, leanign back a little. He watched Zell with a pout on his face. He really didn't like to see his friend unhappy.
"So how is the Seifer-plan going?" Rin asked after a while of watching the blonde on the bed.
Zell pushed himself up slightly, just enough to raise a brow and looked at Rin. "There is no plan, I am doomed!"
Rin pouted, crossing his legs underneath himself. "You aren't doomed...you are....um," Rin took some time to think but found nothing he could say. "Different. " He decided, knowing it had nothing to do with Zell at all.
"I like Seifer Almasy." Zell sighed, letting himself fall back on the bed.

"I like Zell Dincht." Seifer groaned, knocking his head against the wall of his room another time.
Fuijn watched him, staying silent. She was holding a book in her hands but it was neglected. At the moment her friend was more important, he had serious love problems but still didn't know it himself. When Seifer knocked his head against the wall again she got tired of it and opened her mouth to say something. "Yes, you do." She replied, closing the book in her hands.
"Why?" Seifer whined, glad Fuijn didn't care whenever he acted like this. It only happened behind closed door and between him and Fuijn. He had a reputation that was not only important for him but also for Fuijn and Raijn and he had to keep it up. He watched Fuijn while she placed her book on the desk behind her.
Fuijn smiled, turning back to look at Seifer. "Because he's sweet and tries to be your friend?" She asked, pushing a strand of her silver hair behind her ear. She knew about the past between Seifer and Zell, with Raijn gone he had told her about it. And she could understand how Seifer felt right now, and she really wanted to help him. But it was difficult. Seifer had his reputation he wouldn't give up for anyone, and then there was Zell. Those two didn't go together.
Seifer ignored her.
"Seifer why don't you just try it..." Fuijn asked, looking at him.
The blonde shrugged.
Fuijn couldn't help but smile, looking at her best friend. "In secret?" She tried. "Stay a bully and like someone?"
This time Seifer smirked, turning to look at her. "Fuijn, could you do me a favor?"
Fuijn sighed, knowing what was coming. She pushed herself out of the chair and walked over to Seifer. "What do you want me to tell him?"
"Just tell him to go to the secret area to meet me there."
The young woman nodded and left quickly, leaving Seifer alone with his thought.

Zell leaned over the railing, watching Balamb. When Fuijn had asked him to come here because Seifer had to talk to him he had gotten nervous, and the sick feeling was still down in his stomach. He wanted to talk to Seifer, it had to be important.
"Zell..."
The blonde turned when he heard Seifer's voice. He smiled and looked at Seifer, leaning against the railing behind him, his hands still on it. "Hi..." He muttered, blushing slightly.
Seifer crossed his arms but took a step towards Zell, watching him for a while. He was glad there was no one around to see them, he couldn't have anyone around to see them. It was to early for that, maybe someday soon. And it was just a shot, he didn't even know if it was going to work out between the two of them since everything was going to quick. A few days ago Seifer called the blonde in front of him a queer and now he was telling the same blonde he was one...
"I need to tell you something." Seifer said after a while, watching Zell. "You aren't going to like it." He quickly continued, wondering if he had just made it worse.
Zell just blinked before opening his mouth slowly. "What?" He asked softly, crossing his arms just like Seifer.
The taller blonde sighed and walked over to Zell. He pulled the smaller blonde close to him, using his hand to pull Zell's face closer to his own. They kissed, it was simple, just a brush of their lips together. It was nothing special and didn't last long. "I like you." Seifer told him, watching the little blonde for a reaction.
Zell turned red. "I kinda noticed." He whispered.
Seifer couldn't help but smirk, brushing his lips over Zell's again. This time he pushed his tongue inside the blonde's mouth, trying to taste as much of Zell as he could. When he broke the kiss he leaned his head against Zell's, looking him in his eyes.
"And what about the fairy insults?" Zell asked softly, biting his lip.
Seifer watched him for a while. He hadn't meant it when he had said it, he hadn't meant any of the insults he had used. And if he had meant them, than what was he now? Seifer asked himself, watching Zell. "I'm sorry about that..." He said, his voice soft.
Zell smiled. "Forgiven."
Seifer looked at him and then started with the hardest part of their conversation. "But one thing..." He started, kissing the top of Zell's head. "I can't be seen with you." He whispered, partly hoping Zell hadn't heard him and didn't need to hear him.
Zell laughed. He had heard Seifer, but he hoped he had heard it wrong. "What?" He asked.
"I can't be seen with you." Seifer said again, knowing that this time Zell would hear him. He couldn't look at the blonde, turning his eyes away to look at something in the sky.
Zell smiled, pulling Seifer's head close to his own. He kissed Seifer for a second, pulling back quickly. "I guess I'll have to deal with that..." Zell decided, smiling at Seifer. He knew it was fast and sudden, but that didn't matter. He loved Seifer and now Seifer loved him, how could that ever go to fast?

After
I posted the chapter I had to rewrite it and update this, I didn't
like the first one. Like Cloti said, it was rushed because I wanted
something finished for you because you guys had to wait so long. But
it's better to have something good and take time then something
crappy and don't take time. I'm sorry, please forgive me!
