Chapter 6
SEIFER'S POVI yawn before I opening my eyes and the sight that greets me when I do, is not a happy one. Far too serious for my liking, she has her hand on her hip and standing in the doorframe.
"Seifer, we need to talk." I sit up and let the blanket pool around my waist.
"I realised last night that I need some time on my own before I can decide." I look at her confused.
"Isn't this something we should be doing together?" She shakes her head slightly disturbing her perfectly placed hair.
"I need to be alone to figure out if this is the best thing for me," she pauses too long before adding. "and you and Adrian."
"So where are you going? Should I be making some kind of deadline. Say if you don't hear from you by the 25t h, your answer is no and I should be expect the divorce papers anytime. What about Adrian?"
She shrugs a suggester very unlike her. "He'll understand. He's the mayor reason why I have to leave I'm not sure I'm the right mother for him." She looks down ashamed and I'm sure my eyes are popping out of my head. "Truth be told he scares me." She's scared of her own son.
"He know too much for a 5 year old." Her voice hurried and defensive. Her voice a bare whisper she continues. "There are things he's known before they even happened."
The truth is that me marrying Leonhart isn't the first weird thing he's said about the future. When we were going telling him we were moving when we reached the door he was waiting eagerly. "I have my bag packed, Daddy. Can we go now?" he said before we even had the chance to tell him. But I fail to see how this could possibly change her opinion of him in this world of magic.
"You're only now feeling that your child having future telling abilities is too much for you?"
"Hyne, Seifer you're the one that asked the questions. Now I'm just trying to figure out the answers and I can't do them here." She takes a deep breath and bends picking up the bag I had failed to notice until now. "I'll be at Susan's. If you need to get in contact with me."
SQUALL'S POVI waken to the sound of hissing and growling. I grab lionheart and race to the lounge room to where Adrian was sleeping.
"Hush, good kitty." It's Seifer. He stops when Seeker takes a warning swipe at his pants making three neat tears.
"Holy shit, you did not just do that. I'm gonna." Growling under his breath making wringing motions with his hands when he notices me.
"People should learn to knock." I mumble. "Seeker, stand down" A low growling continues but he backs off a little.
"It's bout time Leonhart." I raise an eyebrow and Seeker takes that as a silent command to attack. Seeing the cat move Seifer is already out the door running way and Seeker is hot on his heals.
"Did I just hear Dad?" asks a sleepy voice from the couch. I smile genuinely amused.
"Yes, your father just had to go on a morning run. Breakfast?"
SEIFER'S POVDamn, Leonhart I've been running from his damn cat for the last half an hour and it just stops.
"You are Leonhart's cat. Was that your idea of fun?" I ask between huffs of breath. Of course the cat doesn't answer but turns and starts walking in the direction of his owner's place. I take a step forward and he stops up ahead and looks back, I'll be damn he's waiting for me.
When we reach Leonhart's door I'm about to let myself in when I hear growling beside me.
"I'm knocking okay?" The cat stops growling and starts rubbing against the back of my leg in a cat fashion.
"Have a nice run?" The brunette asks when he opens the door but I've got to wonder who he's asking me or the cat. It's the cat beside me that answers by purring loudly. Damn smug beastie.
"Daddy!" Dri runs and hugs me before grabbing hold of my hand and pulling me into Leonhart's home.
"We have breakfast for you. I helped make it." He pulls me to the dinning table and pulls out a chair.
"Will that be all, Sir?" Dri asks with a pompous voice like a fancy waiter, smart-ass and I proud to say he probably learnt it from me. I look at the plate before me finding croissants with bacon and cheese. Finally, something going right today.
UNKOWN POV"Oh my what a cute little picture they make" I watch the hero, the ex-sorceress' knight and the brat
"Do you have to eat like that?" The hero asks. The knight chuckles and nods mouth full of food he starts to speak but the hero holds up his hand.
"Stop, I think I can guess the answer."
I turn to the figure beside me.
"How does it feel two days after and he's already over you?" I snicker not expecting a reply. I return my attention to image in the basin. The brat is blabbering on, tsh boring.
"What is it that you are looking for?" the idiot beside me asks.
"Wondering if this one can do what you could not." I state tapping the image of the knight.
The knigh's angry and is going to get up when the hero pointedly looks at the cat at his side.
"I hate that cat." He grumbles.
I happen to agree with that statement that cat is bothersome, I would be well into my plans if that damn cat weren't there to protect the hero.
The hero takes the plate from the knight when he finishes and proceeds to the sink washing it off before putting in the dishwasher.
"Leonhart, you're such a neat freak."
"I like neat." He states not bothered by the comment. The hero violently shoves a hand up the back of his shirt trying to reach an itchy spot. He whimpers slightly when he can't get to the spot properly. The knight is suddenly behind him and he takes the others hand way gently.
"Here let me help." He snakes his hand up the back of the shirt and finds the spot the other could not and starts helping to relieve the hero. The hero stills the knight's movements.
"Do you feel that?" He asks. The knight looks caught misinterpreting the question.
"I didn't feel anything."
"We're being watched." He states now certain, looking around.
I laugh "you'll not find me there little lion."
He stops looking.
"Magic." He comes to his conclusion.
"Seeker." He calls. The cat comes and seems to be looking for something too. Finding it, he starts to follow the tread
I laugh at the pitiful over sized house cat and break the connection.
"Try following that my furry friend."
Oh yes, there's something developing between these two, just a little while longer and I'll move into my plan B for the hero, as the idiot already failed in plan A but no matter this should work out just as well.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Um, I decide that here was a good place to stop. Yep a sorceress has been inserted. Um, thanks for the reviews the next chapter should be up soon. I could have gone on but this seemed like a good place to stop. I hope this is getting more interesting but still has some of the elements that attracted you in the first place. Please review and tell me if it seems I'm getting off track.
