Three Is Not Always A Crowd

Squall's POV

Seifer stood up pulling Irvine into his arms. They kissed each other passionately. I felt something in my chest wrench; I ignored it. I would have to get used to Irvine kissing Seifer. I did feel a little left out and nervous; I've never done this before. Irvine broke away from Seifer, looking at me; he looked truly happy.

"What are you doing still sitting there, Squall?" Irvine asked me while reaching his hand out and smiling at me. I took the offered hand and let him pull me into his arms. Seifer walked behind Irvine wrapping his arms around us as much as he could.

Irvine then leaned forward and pushed his lips against mine. I opened my mouth letting his warm tongue in, his warm muscle touching mine as he explored my mouth. I battled tongues with him for a while, hardly noticing the faint rustling Seifer's clothes made as he undressed himself.

Irvine pulled away for air; both of us were panting. Irvine then started to take off my clothes, the jacket going first then the rest of my clothes. I gasped when I felt Seifer's cold hand on my nipples, rubbing them between his thumb and index finger. I tilted my head back in pleasure, my head resting just below Seifer's shoulder.

Seifer took my slackened lips into his and kissed me. It was nice, but it didn't feel the same as it did when I kissed Irvine. I just didn't feel that sense of love coming from him. It felt like all he wanted was my body; I didn't feel comfortable doing this with him. I wasn't the type of person to have sex just for the pleasure.

I didn't know if I could go through with this. It wasn't that I didn't feel something for Seifer—I've always had a slight crush on him—but I knew he didn't feel anything for me.

I snapped out of my internal monologue when I felt Irvine's fingertips touching my member. I gasped and moaned as he stroked my shaft, going fully erect. We slowly made it to the bed and I fell on it as I was pushed gently by Seifer. Seifer then covered my body with his feathery kisses, starting on my face and trailing down my neck.

I tensed. Suddenly I felt like running. I was confused. I didn't know if I should sleep with Seifer. I had no problem sleeping with Irvine; I loved him; he loved me; but with Seifer here it seemed…different. I was just so confused! Seifer must have sensed my panic as he lifted his body off mine, looking down into my eyes.

"Are you okay, baby?" he asked with a concerned look on his face. I looked up at him and slowly shook my head.

Irvine then spoke up, "What's wrong, is this to much for you?" Concern shone in his eyes as well.

I didn't know why I felt so uncomfortable, maybe this was just going too fast. I have never been too experienced when it comes to relationships; they always made me feel vulnerable. Kind of funny; I defeated a sorceress and saved the world, and my greatest weakness is human relationship. You would think I would be fearless when it came to that area. I guessed it was because all my life I was lead to believe that if I let anyone in they would hurt me, so I shut everyone out. I don't believe that anymore, but old habits die hard.

I sighed. "I don't know…It just doesn't feel right; I just need to think. You two can still sleep together; I can leave," I said looking down, embarrassed. It still felt awkward opening up to people, but I was getting used to it.

Irvine shook his head: "No, that's okay; let's just sleep. You sure you're okay?" he asked. I nodded, then he kissed me before saying goodnight to me and Seifer. Seifer laid down between me and Irvine, which I was grateful for because I planned on going on a walk to sort out my thoughts and it would be easier to sneak out if I didn't have to climb over him or Irvine.

"Goodnight," Seifer said to both of us.

"G'night" I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing, feigning sleep until I felt reasonably confident that I could escape unnoticed. Slipping out of bed after I was sure Irvine and Seifer were asleep I gathered my pants, put them on, and quietly exited the room.

Seifer's POV

I was awakened out of my half 'almost asleep' state when I felt Squall getting out of bed. I furrowed my eyebrows. Why is he leaving? I wondered as he put on his pants, obviously not noticing that I was fully awake and watching him. After he got his pants on, he quietly opened the door, slipping out of the room quickly. I sighed, who knows what he was thinking. Shaking my head I got out of bed, careful not to wake up Irvine. I hurriedly put on my pants and left the room. I was going to find out what was wrong with Squall and then drag his ass back to bed.

Walking down the hall, I wrapped my arms around myself, shivering. It freezing out here! I figured Squall would go to the Training Center.Probably without his Gunblade that crazy idiot. I hurried walking (more like jogging) to the Training Center, determined to find Squall. As I entered, the temperature raised from freezing to pleasantly warm. I made my way through the greenhouse forest filled with monsters heading for the 'secret area' where I was sure Squall went to. Sure enough, there was Squall leaning against the railing, the light breeze ruffling his hair.

I walked up and leaned against the balcony railing next to him, looking to the sky where the moon was full and shining brightly. It was utterly beautiful; so was Squall, his hair moving away from his face, which was bathed in the soft glow of the moon's blue rays.

"What?" asked Squall quietly, obviously aware of my staring. I smiled slightly.

"Why did you leave?" I asked, ignoring his question. Squall glared, not happy about the direction the conversation was heading.

"Just thinking," he replied.

"What about?" I asked, still looking at Squall.

"None of your business," he said, turning around so his back was against the railing.

"I'll make it my business, because I care about you," I said, a little angry at Squall for his rude comment. Squall looked at me; sadness and maybe a little hurt seemed to show through his stormy eyes.

"What do you mean 'you care'? You don't care about me! You only say things like that so you can stay with Irvine!" Squall suddenly yelled, standing up and swiping his hand in the air.

Ahh! So this is his problem. Wanting to dispel his doubts, I stepped in front of him, grabbing his shoulders and looking into his eyes. "Of course I care about you! We grew up together! You saved me from Ultimecia! I always have cared about you," I yelled back, looking at him intently.

Squall seemed shocked, his eyes widening as I yelled at him. He lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know Seifer…I'm confused…I don't think I can do this." I pulled him into my arms. "I'm sorry," Squall whispered quietly; I hardly heard him.

"For what?" I asked.

There was a pause, then Squall answered, "For being so difficult. I don't know what I'm feeling; I just can't help but think that if I get close to anyone I will get hurt…" Squall trailed off.

"Squall, not everyone is going to hurt or leave you. Everyone goes through a bad relationship, but they eventually find someone else. It's all a part of the search for the right person…or persons," I said, hugging him tighter. Squall sighed and hugged his arms around my neck, tilting his head up and brushing his lips against mine. That's when I realized that I was beginning to fall for Squall.

"Let's go back to bed," I said, smiling.

"Okay," Squall said, returning my smile with a small one of his own.
