Chapter Twenty one. Sweet Dreams

Quistisl woke from her sleep rather tired. The night did not go well. Rolling over she felt for where Squall should be, but found no confort. Opening an eye slowly she found the room to be pitch black. Jumping up in a fright, she flung herself out of the bed. Thinking the ground would hit her feet she was shocked to find that there was nothing there. Grabbing at anything, the only thing she could get a hold of was the tail end of the bed sheets. Eyes widened in fear, she tried in vane to pull herself up. Taking in a deep breath she slowly let her eyes look down at where the earth should be. Slowly a bright reddish light started to glow. Fear took hold of her as she realolized that it wasn't light but fire. Looking up in a paniced attempt she tried once more to pull herself back onto the bed. Suddenly a strong grip took her arm.

With a joilt Quistis found herself sitting next to her love in thier room. "You know Boo?" Squall placed a cool hand to her head and gently whiped away a few stray hairs.

"Yeah." Quistis took in even breaths to make sure she was ok. "Just a bad dream."

"What was it about?" Squall hugged her gently hoping to confort her.

"I was falling. There.. there was fire. I don't know. " Shaking her head gently she foced a smile. "It's nothing. NO worries."

Sighing, Squall rolled out of bed. Just before he stepped into the bathroom he turned to her in the door way. "Ok. I'll see you for lunch?" Quistis nodded and watched the door close behind him. After a few seconds of 'resting' she threw on her cloths and headed to her office. The snow was still fallling outside so most students were outside. The halls were mostly empity, which Quistis was not sure was a good thing or a bad thing. Finaly getting over her paranoia she found her office and sat down. As always she truned on her music, and started filling out her papers. It was the midle of the year but she was to look over papers to see who would be starting next year.

A rather loud knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts. Looking up she stared at the door as if it would tell her who in hynes name was knocking at this time in the morring. Slowly the squeeked open and Seifer's head popped in. "Hey Quis. Umm Can I come in?"

Sighing, Quistis started back at her paper work. "Come in." Yep things were back to normal. Well almost. She was with Squall, Rinoa was insane and gone, her job changed, and her hair.... Eh. It looked ok. Rolling her eyes, Quistis knew that Seifer was just standing at the door. All she could think was 'what the hell does he want and why is he here? Standing there just staring.' It was becoming too much for her. "Sit." Without looking up she pointed to the chair infront of the desk.

"Quis?" Slowly Quistis' eyes turned to Seifer. He was standing next to the desk. "Here." Gently he placed a tin onto her desk. "Look. I know things are differnt. And I know I was an ass. But I want you to..." Quistis hand stopped him. Opening the tin she saw that he had brought her lunch.

"What's this for?" Quistis looked in to see that there was a fully yummy rice and chicken meal. Looking up at Seifer she could see that damned smirk coming to his face. "What!?"

"You really don't know what time it is. Eh. Figures. Squally boy asked me to give this to you. You do know I'm working with him today. Anyways. You didn't come to your lunch date with us."

"Us?"

"Ok. OK, him. Can't I dream we are still togther?" A quick glare told him off quickly. "Ok. Sorry my dear instructor."

"No. Not any more Seifer, and if you say I'll always be that to you then that's sick."

"HEy! A guy can dream of getting it on with thier.." Quistis hand shot up and covered his mouth. As quickly as she placed it over his mouth she took it away. "Forgot about that didn't you?"

"You shouldn't lick people's hands!"

"Bet you'd let Squall lick you. Not that I didn't." Placing a hand to her head she let out a larg sigh. "You know I'm right."

"Look Seifer. I have work to do and you are keeping it from me. Anyways that is none of your.... What do you want anyways?"

"Just to see if you are ok. You never miss things. I just worry about you."

"Thank you Seif. I'm fine. Just lost in paper work. Times kinda, well I've lost track."

"I know it's ok. When you see Leonhart, tell him I said hi."

"Can do!" Nodding she watched Seifer walk out the door and truned back to her paper work. "I don't want to do this." Looking at the clock she sighed. She had worked right through any brake she could have had and it was now running on five. "Ok. Ok. I'm leaving." Slowly Quistis trugged back to the room Squall and her were sharing. After stepping in she found Squall passed out on the sofa. "Leon...." Sighing she walked over to him and gave him a rather rough push. "Wakey. Wakey. Eggs and Bakey!"

"Where in Hyne's heveanly name did you get that?" Quistis shrugged nad poked at him some more. "Whattttt!" Rolling over Squall tried to get out of the pokage zone but no use.

"Come to bed! I wanna cuddle!"

"I don't do cuddles."

"Like hell you don't!"

"Yes. Like Hell I don't. You cuddle me."

"Want me to tell Seifer that!?"

"What?"

"That it's you who cuddles..."

"Fine fine." Slowly Squall rolled off the sofa and trugged into the bedroom. "So you wanna be cuddled tonight?"

"Is that sooo much to ask for?!" Smiling Quistis changed and crawled into bed with him.

"Yes. Yes it is. But ok." Smiling softly he wrapped his arms around her. "By the way where were you at lunch?"

"Side tracked." Feeling better she snuggeled into his arms.

"So insted of cuddling can I tie you down?"

"No. Good night."

"What no love?"

"Love yas. Night."

"Love you too."

"Better." Smiling softly to herself, Quistis could feel Squall chuckling under her. Sleep took hold of her fast but didn't stay long.

Quistis was running. She wasn't sure if it was to something or from it, she was just running. The blackness covered her. Nothing she knew was there. Then, fire started from behind. Looking over her sholder, she picked up speed. It was like a bad action film. The one you know the good guy is going to get badly hurt if not die before the end. A loud scream filled her ears, then the earth started to move.

Opening her eyes she found herself in Squall's strong arms. Both of them were shaking. "Are you ok Quisty?" Taking in deep breaths she tried to think about what it was he was saying. "Quistis!" The scream was still ringing in her ears.

"Y... yea..,yeah." Closing her eyes she let her body fall into Squalls. "Just,.... just don't let me go.."

"I wont. I promise."
