Prince Squall

LMY: I'm so glad that you liked the last chapter. I think this will be the second last chapter. I think.

Zell: So… when do me and Squall get to kiss? And how many times?

LMY: Ummm… twice, next chapter.

Squall: So when do I realize that Zell is hot and admit that I'm at least bi?

LMY: Umm… not sure.

Chapter Seven

Leon furiously packed his pack his bags. Zell had lied to him. Zell had taken Leon to Esther for money. Money. There's was a knock at the door. "Go away Zell. I never want to see you again." The person behind the door opened it. "I hate," Leon turned around and faced someone he wasn't expecting. "…you. I'm sorry I thought you were someone else."

King Laguna Lorie stepped into the room. "I can see that. Who are you?"

Leon lowered his gaze. "I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me." Leon looked up into dark blue eyes.

"That Zell character was trying to tell me that you're my son." Laguna sighed. "And you do look a lot like my wife. But then again I've seen a lot of people that reminder me of her." Laguna noticed the necklace around Leon's neck. He pointed to it. "Where did you get that?"

Leon touched it. "I've always had it." Leon turned it over and ran his finger over the inscription. "Together in Esther."

Laguna sigh. 'He probably found it.' Thought the King. "I'll leave you now." Laguna turned to leave the room.

"There was something else you gave me. A ring, with the same inscription." Leon chuckled. "I told you to keep it till I was old enough to wear it because it was too big for me." Laguna quickly turned around and run to Leon and hugged him.

"Squall." He said. "I never told anyone about that." Leon hugged the King back.

"Dad?" He was unsure of what to do. Did he really have a real home? A real family? Laguna nodded into Leon's shoulder.

The next morning Zell packed his bags. Last night Leon had moved out of the hotel room next to his. Irvine was staying with Seifer. There was a knock at his door. "Come in." He said while he turned around.

Selphie slowly walked in. "Zell, are you leaving us again?" She asked quietly.

"You know I can't stay in the city." Selphie ran up to him and hugged him.

"Please stay a bit longer. We all miss you when you leave." Zell hugged back.

"I can't stay here. I hate this city." Selphie nodded in acknowledgment.

"The King wants to speak with you. Will you come with me?" Zell nodded. He decided to finish his packing when he got back. Selphie lead him outside to a car. Selphie took the back seat and Zell joined her. In the front was Seifer, driving, and Irvine in the passenger seat. Irvine turned in his seat to face Zell.

"Are you leaving again?" Zell turned to the window and nodded. "Why?"

"You know why. I hate this city."

"But Zell. We're here. Your friends are here." Pleaded Irvine. "Would you stay if I gave you Leon, tied up on a silver platter?"

Everyone in the car laughed. "How would you be able to do that?" Asked Seifer.

"Easy," Said Irvine. "Set a trap up and wait for him to get stuck then drug him and tie him up. Put him on a silver platter and give it to Zell. Prince a la Irvine."

Zell smiled. "I'm leaving after I've seen the King." Zell's voice was normal but it sounded final.

"We'll miss you, buddy." Zell turned to Irvine and smiled. Zell looked out the window at the passer-bys. They all went about their life's, not knowing anything about the other people they passed. To pass the time Zell tired to think about what the passer-bys life was like. There was a girl about seventeen years old with long straight blonde hair. Her greeny-blue eyes seemed to shine in the sun. She looked athletic. Zell guessed she might have been a school runner but had stopped because of her studies.

The car stopped outside the King's house. Everyone climbed out. Selphie took Zell to Laguna and waited outside the door. "You wanted to see me?" Asked Zell.

Laguna stood up from his seat. He lifted up a suitcase from beside him and he opened it. He turned it around for Zell to see the contents. "Your reward for finding my son."

Zell looked at the notes laying out, all neatly piled next to each other. This is what he had came for, but after finally getting to Esther he had forgotten all about it. "I don't want it."

Laguna looked confused. "You don't want it?"

Zell nodded. "I did want it, but after getting here I forgot about it. I was only worried about trying to find Leon's family."

"I see." Laguna closed the suitcase and put it back at his side. "Seifer told me that your leaving?"

"Yes, sir."

"May I ask why?"

"I used to live in Esther when I was younger, with my parents. There was a fire and they both died." Zell lowered his gaze. "I've been able to stay in this city since." Laguna nodded.

"Your friends will miss you." Said Laguna. "And I'm sorry for not believing you right away when you tried to tell me about Leon."

Zell smiled. "It's okay. If I was in the same position I would have believed me either." Zell bowed. "If that is all I'll be off now." Laguna nodded and Zell left the room. Selphie walked with Zell. The pair stopped half way down the steps because Leon- err Squall was walking up the stairs.

Squall glared at Zell. "Came for what you wanted?" He asked coldly.

Zell bowed. "Yes Your Highness." His whole body was mocking. With that Zell walked down the rest of the stairs and out of the house. Zell walked as fast as he could back to his hotel. 'Why did I have to fall in love with him?' Zell thought. 'He's straight. Nothing would happen between us. I'm normally good at picking out the gay or bi ones. But no I had to fall in love with a straight guy. Not only that he's the Prince. Prince! Damn my stupid ass hormones. Damn them all to hell.'

Squall stormed up the rest of the stairs. "What's wrong?"

Squall closed the door behind him. "Oh just Zell. I can't after everything he was only doing it for the reward money."

Laguna chuckled. "He didn't take the money."

Squall was stunned. "He didn't?" Squall asked. Laguna shook his head and left the room. 'So he really was just trying to help me out.' Though Squall.

LMY: I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I seem to be in mini-depression at the moment. Hopefully I get back to my normal cheery self.

Zell: Awww. For once I promise to be nice to you.

LMY: Aww. Well ain't you a sweetie-pie. hugs Zell

Squall: growls

LMY: Meep! lets go of Zell and pushes him towards Squall There. Zell and Squall hug Aww the cuteness. Review please!
