Crazy stuff I tell ya. I pushed Squall off my lap. He looked ridiculous prancing around in Selphie's underwear.
At least we weren't trying to pull needles out of Seifer's hands. Did that a couple of times on the way to Esthar. Squall's little rehab trip did wonders.
Before long though, Squall's little strip tease got a little frisky with Seifer. That ended with Seifer hauling him out of the room, away from eyes that REALLY did not want to see his best friend fucked by another man.

Selphie answered the door as I retrieved another round of beers, plus one for our new company.
"I missed it didn't I?" Rinoa said as she hugged the girls.
"Yeah, but that's okay, the stripper gig went really gay." Selphie giggled.
"That's for damn sure!" yelled Irvine from the couch.
"Well, look who you put up to it! Really, what else did you expect from those two." Quistis smiled and sat on my lap.
"Hey Irvine, look, I'm furniture!!" I yelled.
Rinoa giggled. "Zell, how much have you had to drink?" she looked around at all the empty bottles in the room.
I started counting. "Umm… I think seven."
"He thinks." Quistis said. "Well I think Rinoa has a lot of catching up to do." And she handed the brunette a bottle of Jack Daniel's.
The girls got involved in girl talk so Irvine and I turned to the pay per view and put on the blitzball game. It wasn't until two hours later when Quistis sat in my lap and gave me her 'cute' face.
"Zelly?" she said in a syrupy sweet voice. " I had a wonderful idea."
"Okay sweetness, what is it?" I answered just as sweetly, letting her know I knew she wanted something.
"Well I though it might be a fun idea to invite another guy into the bedroom." She smiled shyly at me.
Irvine perked up, only to say "count me out dude." When Selphie gave him the look of death
Another guy? "Ummm…." ANOTHER GUY???? "Like who?" I have no idea how THIS is gonna work.
"Um," she blushed a little, " I was thinking maybe you could choose."
Another guy… I don't know if I can handle this. I don't know if I'd be comfortable with that. (A/N ENTER MALE STUPIDITY) hey…. Maybe I can use this as a bargaining piece….
"I'll let another guy into the bedroom, if you'll let another girl in the bedroom." I answered nervously. "And I'll let you pick the girl." I added quickly.
She pondered for a moment. "Okay.", kissed my cheek and went back to talking to the girls.
I turned to Irvine, "What in Hyne's name have I gotten myself into?"
He just shrugged.
It wasn't until three weeks after the Garden Festival that it finally dawned on me. I could ask Squall!! I've been overlooking this whole time that my best friend in the entire world was gay, and since I KNOW Quistis isn't just interested in two guys to herself, she wants a full participation, he was someone I'd be comfortable with. Whoa…. That was a big thought…. I hate it when the Eureka syndrome hits… Anyhow. I figured the best way to do this was to corner him in his office.
"Hey Squall?"
"I'm a little busy right now Zell, can this wait for dinner?" he had a stack of paperwork next to him that I would swear was going to take him three months to get through.
"I promise, this will only take a sec." Just long enough for me to embarrass the fuck out of myself.
"okay, make it quick, I have to get this stack done today." he turned to me, putting his pen down.
"Okay, see, Quistis came to me about a month ago with this idea, I Think Selphie had something to do with it, " I'm rambling…. Why can't I shut up? " And well, she wants to invite another guy into the bedroom and you see, I figured that since you're my best friend and all-"
"Hold on, breath a second Zell." He cut me off. "Quistis wants another guy in the bedroom?"
I nodded
"You're going to ask me, aren't you." He stated, rather than asking this.
I nodded again.
"Well Zell," he looked slightly amused. "I would say yes, but as Irvine would put it, 'I'm so gay I can hardly function'. So I really don't do girls" I felt myself turning red. "But, you cold ask my lug of a husband. He probably would. He always though you were cute. Told me once that it was a shame you're straight."
The second part didn't click in my brain right away, what did click- "Ask Seifer? As in the ass who makes gagging noises any time me and Quistis, or Selphie and Irvine kiss? Hell, he'll laugh at me." I looked down at the floor. "Just forget I even asked, okay?" then, feeling very embarrassed, and like an ass, left his office and went to hide in my room. At least until a few hours later when someone knocked on my door.
"Come in! It's open." I yelled from the living room.
"Hey chicken!" Seifer called as he entered my quarters.
"Hey asshole." I responded.
"I'd be a little nicer to me if I were you." He smirked.
"why?"
"Squall came to me about an hour ago." Seifer sat on the couch."Said you'd gone to him with an interesting question."
Uh oh. Squall told Seifer.
"Danced around it for about a half hour before he finally spat it out." He put his feet up and looked at me. "So, Quisty wants to get her hands on two guys huh?"
I nodded. "Told her I'd do it if we could also at some point get another girl."
"Smart move, using it as a bargaining piece." Seifer grinned, and leaned ion really close.
"Seifer, um, what are you doing?" Suddenly Squall's comment on Seifer saying it was a shame I was straight. Now I'm nervous.
"I want to test something before I'll do it." He leaned in a little closer.
"I don't-" he cut me off with a sudden kiss.
WHOA!!! WHAT THE FUCK????
I understood now. He wanted to see if I, being a straight boy could handle it. The sensation wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. It was a kiss, a damn good one at tat, regardless of the fact that it's a man. I guess Squall really does have the bragging rights he so happily uses at parties. Seifer could kiss like a god.
When Seifer pulled back, my head was reeling, in both mass confusion and slight arousal.
"Yup, that answers that. Tell Quistis I'll be happy to join you two." and then he was gone.
I was confused. It took a few moment to let everything sink in. Squall had told Seifer, and Seifer had come to volunteer. Except Seifer never does shit like this. I can't actually remember the last time he did something nice for me.
By dinner I was ready for an explanation. So I asked Squall.
"Because I told him to." was his reply. "I knew this wasn't going to be something you would ask anyone else, so I decided that yeah, you could borrow my boy instead of trying to hunt down your own."
He left it at that. I told Quistis after dinner that I had found someone, and she was surprised.
"Already? I thought I was going to have to ask you again, about five times." she smiled at me as we walked back to my dorm room. "Who did you ask?"
I blushed. I can't believe I'm actually doing this. "Well, first I asked Squall. But he said he was too gay, and then offered up Seifer." I grinned. "So, do you remember all those rumors going around a few years back about you sleeping With Seifer?"
"Yeah." She frowned. "What does this have to do with anything?"
"Those rumors will finally be true." I answered as we entered my door.
"You asked Seifer?" she asked incredulously.
"Hell no! He kinda… volunteered."
"Really? I'm surprised." She plopped on the couch.
"He kissed me." I said as I lay next to her and wrapped my arms around her.
"ooh! Zell's first kiss form a boy!! How was it?" she giggled. "I mean seriously. Did you freak on him?"
"No. And well, I was disturbed, but hells! My best friend's husband just planted one on me, what the hell was I supposed to do?" I blushed. "I just kinda let him do it."
"Was it really weird?"
"Um, yes and no. I mean, granted Squall really does own those bragging rights about Seifer's kisses, but I mean it was Seifer." I blushed again.
"Your a sweetheart." Quistis snuggled closer.
"I try." I joked.
We lay there for awhile, just enjoying each other's company.
"How was it when you asked Squall?" she asked some time later.
"Well, I turned all red, got flustered, started rambling, all that before I even spat out the question." I laughed
"That would have been hilarious to watch." She giggled.
"I bet. Imagine me standing in Squall's office, beet red, asking him to help me with my girl in the bedroom. Then he ever so calmly tell me that he's too gay to do girls, but that I could have Seifer, and that Seifer used to have a crush on me." I laughed harder, the situation really was funny.
We were both laughing our asses off, Quistis mostly laughing about finding out Seifer thinks I'm cute.
"Can you imagine what was going through Squall's head?" she sputtered.
"Can you imagine how STUPID I looked standing there?' My sides hurt from laughing, I couldn't breathe, and my face hurt from smiling. Oh Hyne, don't tell me….
Quistis spoke to Seifer and Squall, and a week later I found myself handcuffed, kneeling on the floor with both Seifer and Quistis standing over me. My blonde goddess had transformed into a leather-clad dominatrix, and Seifer stood, smirking. Quistis gave me a tiny evil grin before the situation finally dawned on me. Oh holy Hyne in hell, I was going to be their 'pet'.
I was whipped, spanked, had things done to me I'd never in a million years thought of, done things that I never thought I'd do. I ain't gonna go into details, but I can definitely say I ain't no virgin in any sense of the word now.
I lay in bed afterwards, completely exhausted, spent, slightly sore, and content. I heard Quistis let Seifer out, thanking him as the door closed. Moments later she joined me in the bed, her warm flesh snuggling close to me as she lay her head on my chest and we both slept.
Millions of things ran through my head. I had enjoyed the threesome, even though I knew I wasn't gay. But having Seifer in me, touching me, had turned me on. Mostly because I knew it was going to make Quistis horny as hell to see that. The experience had been awkward, not bad, just awkward. My thoughts the night I'd told Quistis about Seifer's acceptance came back to me. Hyne, just thinking about that again scared the shit out of me. I've fallen in love with her. Hyne, I want to spend forever with her.
Lunch with Squall the next day was a little weird. It was just the two of us, Quistis had some papers she really needed to grade, Seifer was off in Balamb with the other's, they had taken Tabby shopping and she'd INSISTED that "Unkee Seifee" came with.
He didn't say anything about how the threesome went. I just felt a little odd, knowing that his husband had fucked the shit out of both me and Quistis the night before.
"Seifer wants to put together a band." Squall said, completely out of the blue.
"A band?" I asked, hotdog halfway to my mouth.
"yeah. He said you know how to play the drums?" it was a question, not a statement, though most people would have taken it the other way.
"yeah, I do a lot of percussion stuff. If I can hit it, I can play it." I grinned.
"Interested then?"
"Sure." This will be the perfect way to tell Quistis how I feel! Music always does a better job at expressing emotions that I do.
We asked Selphie to set up a concert about a month later. Seifer played out lead guitar, Irvine played bass, I of course played the drums, Squall handled the keyboard, and we all sang. A lot of our stuff was our own work. We did a couple of covers, but only of our favorite songs. For our opening concert, our world debut, (it was just Garden, but it WAS our world debut, as we hadn't played for anyone ever before) I was going to sing a song I'd written for Quistis. Squall was going to announce me, and fucking Hyne I was nervous.
"Okay folks, this next song is written by our very own Zell Dincht, who apparently can't find the right words to say something to someone, at least, not without music behind it. " Squall stepped away from the microphone as I reached forward and turned mine on.
When you feel all alone
and the world has turned it's back on you.
Give me a moment please, to tame your wild wild heart
I looked into the front row and caught Quistis's eyes.
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
it's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
when darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore
I knew that's how she felt sometimes, like there was no one who really understood. But I did. She made everything all right for me, and I want to make sure she know I'll do the same for her.
Let me be the one you call
if you jump I'll break your fall
lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend your broken heart
if you need to crash, then crash and burn your not alone
When you feel all alone
and a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
with the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and you feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
if you jump I'll break your fall
lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend your broken heart
if you need to crash, then crash and burn your not alone
Because there's always been heartache and pain
and when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again.
When you feel all alone
and the world has turned it's back on you
give me a moment please
to tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call
if you jump I'll break your fall
lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart,
I can mend your broken heart
if you need to crash, then crash and burn your not alone
Your not alone.
I had my eyes closed as I finished the song. I was afraid to see her reaction. I'd waited until the last song of the set to play mine. The audience of course exploded into applause, but it fell upon deaf ears to me. The others, took their bows, and as Selphie pulled the curtain shit, I fell off my stool.
"Hey Zell? You okay?"
"I think he passed out!'
"I did not." I groaned. "But I feel like I just made the biggest ass out of myself possible."
"I wouldn't say that." Irvine's Galbadian twang answered. "There's a blonde headed woman making her way over here who apparently has something she wants to say to you."
As Quistis made her way over to me as I sat one the ground, the other three busied themselves with packing up equipment.
"Zell? Are you okay? What the hell did you do?"
"Fell off my stool." I answered simply. I had a lump in my throat. My words weren't going to come out. Again. See? This is why it's easier in song.
"I loved it." She smiled. She was talking about the song.
"Thanks. It's for you." I sound dumb.
"I figured. Unless of course you decided that Seifer was the one for you?" she teased.
"No, just you." I breathed deep as she wrapped her arms around me.
"I love you too Zell." She whispered.
Somehow, she knew what it was I'd been trying to say. She didn't reject me, or say that it wasn't enough. She made all my apprehension, fear, and dissenting thoughts disappear. This is why I love her. She makes everything all right.
A/N I'm terribly sorry this took me so damn long to post. I had Finals, then I was stuck at home without my J drive with me so I couldn't write because I had no where to save it!! Anyhow, since there's only ONE person who reviewed this (thank you Rin, I love you Sweetness) poo on the rest of you!!!! The song Zell sang for Quistis is Savage Garden's Crash and Burn. I so do love that song……
BTW, I'm terribly sorry for he bondage scene, but Quistis does scream Dominatrix, and I have this bad habit of doing horrible things to poor Zell. I love him, I really do, but I just do bad things to him. Don't believe me? Go read Together…..Love me and leave me a review?
