Chapter seven

Rin watched him from a distance, holding a book in front of him. He blushed and quickly turned to his book when Squall noticed him watching. He bit his lip, flipping a page.

"Yo Rin!" Zell yelled.

Rin bit his lip when he heard Zell's voice, looking up. "Hey Zell." He whispered, trying to smile a little.

The blonde sat down next to his best friend and pushed a arm around Rin's shoulders. "What are you doing here being all boring?" He asked, grinning.

"Watching..." Rin whispered, turning red again.

Zell frowned. "Watching?" He asked, looking around. When he saw Squall he smiled and nodded, understanding. "Oh, I'll leave you to your...watching then." He got up and looked at Squall before sitting down again. "I'll help you, you helped me too."

"What?" Rin turned white. "No! I'm happy watching...just watching."

The blonde shook his head and closed Rin's book. "No way Rin, you deserve some happiness." He looked at Squall and crossed his arms. "Hmm, how to get his attention."

Rin gave up, sighing. He looked at Zell, biting his lip. "He doesn't like me Zell, he hasn't talked to me since that accident." Rin pouted, remembering how happy he had been when Squall had talked to him. He did want Squall to notice him, even if it was a little bit. But Squall was well known as the ice-prince, and Rin was nothing special...

"I know!" Zell smirked, tapping on Rin's head to get the other's attention.

The raven haired boy looked at him and sighed. "What?"

"We will let Seifer hurt you again." Zell decided and got up. "When Squall sees him hurting you he will rescue you!"

Rin blinked a couple of times, looking at Zell with big eyes. "That's..." He looked for the right words, sitting back in the chair. "The most stupid idea I have ever heard..." Rin crossed his arms. "I'm not going to get a black eye for a meeting with Squall."

Seifer pushed Rin against the wall in the dormitory, glaring at the smaller boy. When he saw Rin cringe he loosened his grip a little. He had promised Zell he wouldn't hurt Rin to much. The boy's feet were off the ground and Rin was trying to get loose, kicking against Seifer's legs. "Why did I even agree to do this." Seifer growled softly, watching Rin.

"Because it means more Zell-time for you." Rin anwsered, grabbing Seifer's wrists.

Seifer smirked, thinking about Zell. "So when will he get here."

When they heard footsteps both smiled. "Guess about now."

Squall groaned when he saw Seifer holding up the same boy as before. He walked over to them and tapped on Seifer's shoulder. "Let him go..." Squall muttered, glaring at Seifer.

The blonde infront of him smirked and pushed Rin away. "Whatever you say..."

Rin watched the blonde go after a little agrument between the brunette and the blonde. Then Squall turned to look at him and Rin couldn't help but blush a little. "Um...thanks." Rin got up with help from Squall. "Again."

"Be more carefull." Squall told him.

Rin nodded and watching him for a while. When he saw Zell hiding he blushed, opening his mouth to say something. The blonde waved and grinned, mouthing some words. "I will..." He smiled.

Squall nodded and crossed his arms, uncomfortable with the situation. "Well...bye." He said before leaving Rin standing alone in the hall. When Squall was out of sight Zell ran over to Rin.

"What happened?" Zell asked.

Rin shrugged. "I'm a complete failure."

Zell hugged him, patting his back. "Well then let's try plan B."

Rin felt stupid. No one would fall for this. Zell had taken his weapon and now Rin was running from the creatures in the training center because he really didn't want to die yet. He sighed in relief when he found a sheltered part in the training center where they wouldn't find him, or so he hoped. Rin sat down and crossed his legs, placing his hands on the ground a little behind him. When he was sure Squall was in sight he got out of his hiding place and saw Squall. "Hi, again." Rin smiled.

Squall frowned a little. "..." He shook his head. "What are you doing here?"

Rin walked over to him and bit his lip, playing with the end of his shirt. "Well I was going to the secret area and then..."

"And then?" Squall asked, placing a hand on his hip.

Rin turned to look at the ground. "Well I kind of misplaced my weapons but got attacked...and didn't have weapons." He muttered the last part. "So I ran and hid." He continued, now turning to look at the brunette in front of him again. "But here you are, again."

"Yes, again." Squall couldn't help but smile a little.

When Rin noticed he grinned happily. "Sorry that I'm such a klutz all the time, getting attacked by Seifer, misplacing weapons..." The boy sighed, shifting a little.

"I don't mind." Squall told him before leaving.

When Rin found Zell standing next to him he frowned, turning his head to look at Zell. "How do you do that?"

"What?" The blonde asked.

"Being arround all the time." Rin anwsered.

Zell shrugged but smiled. "Maybe it's magic." He said before leaving.

Rin rolled his eyes and followed Zell quickly. "Haha, very funny..."

That night Zell went to Seifer's room. He knocked on the door and was glad when it slid open and revealed Seifer on the other side. "Hey." Zell smirked, leaning against the wall next to the open door.

Seifer watched him for a few seconds and then smiled. "Hey."

"Can I come in?" Zell asked softly.

The other blonde nodded and stepped out of the way so Zell could get inside. "So how did my little show go?" Seifer asked, walking over to his bed and letting himself fall down on it.

"With Rin?" Zell asked to be sure and received a nod. "Great, Squall noticed him." Zell beamed and let himself fall down next to Seifer, bouncing on the bed a little bit. "It was great, and plan B worked perfect too. Now for plan C."

"There's also a plan C?" Seifer raised a brow.

Zell shook his head and let himself fall backwards on the bed. "No but I'll think of one..." The blonde smiled and pulled Seifer down next to him, giving him a quick kiss on Seifer's lips. "Gotta make one, he's my best friend..."

Seifer pouted, leaning closer to Seifer. "Best friend?" He asked a little jealous.

"You aren't my best friend Seifer, you are way above that just being a best friend thing." Zell smiled, receiving a kiss on his forehead. "You are my boyfriend! And I love you!"
