Return to Garden Part 2"Oh Seifer! More! Now! OH!" Squall moaned, withering under the blonde. "Fuck me harder. Yesss more! OH HYNE!" the brunette screamed as Seifer hit the special spot inside him.
"SEIFER!" he moaned, shaking his head in ecstasy as Seifer ran his mouth down his neck, nipping and kissing, emitting small moans from the smaller man.
"Seifer, oh hyne Seifer. More, more, MORE! Oh Seifer. Harder, harder, harder!" the brunette panted, arching up against the thrusting blonde, head thrown back in passion.
"Oh hyne Seifer, I'm cumming, I'm cumming... AHHHH!"
'Oh hyne. This calls for a cold shower,' Seifer thought, turning on the cold tap and jumping in, holding back a shout as the freezing cold water hit his heated body. It was only when he was shivering that he got out of the shower, grabbing a towel.
'Fuck...'
A knocking on the door startled Seifer.
"Seifer, why the hell you taking a shower at 6am in the morning for?"
"Sorry Squall, I didn't mean to wake you up," Seifer replied, blushing as images of a panting Squall came to mind.
"Hn." Squall said, walking away from the bathroom. Letting out a breath, Seifer waited for a few moments before getting dressed and leaving the bathroom.
"Ah Squall?"
"Yes Almasy?" Squall asked stonily, pouring himself a coffee.
"I just wanted to say sorry, for what I said last night."
Squall looked up at the blonde, who was looking down at the ground, awaiting Squall's reply.
"Ok. Apology accepted," Squall finally said. Seifer grinned at the brunette before grabbing a cup of coffee for himself.
"We're going to Balamb this morning and get your supplies for your lessons," Squall said, reaching out for his wallet.
"I'm going to the cafeteria to get some breakfast. You coming?"
Seifer hesitated.
"There's not many people there at this time," Squall added.
"It's not that," Seifer replied, a little to quickly. "Yeah sure, I'll come."
The two left Squall's room and headed down towards the cafeteria. There were only a small group of students talking among themselves at the cafeteria. When Seifer entered, they fell silent, staring at Seifer until Squall came up behind him. They quickly reverted back to their conversation, now spoken in hushed tones, with glances thrown towards Seifer.
'It starts.'
"Are you going to move any time soon Seifer?" Seifer started.
"Sorry Squall."
Squall pushed past, whispered, "just ignore them" and continued up to the counter.
"One muffin please. What do you want Seifer?"
"2 ham and cheese croissants, 3 muffins, 1 egg on toast and a bowl of cereal please."
The cafeteria lady went to get their orders, eyes lingering on Seifer. The two men found a table hidden away from prying eyes. Taking a bite out of his muffin, Squall pulled out some paperwork.
"What's that about?" Seifer finally asked.
"... The Intergalactic Planetary Trade Association meeting. SEED is to manage the security for it."
"Who's coming?"
"Both Galbadia and Esther will be attending, plus several leaders from other planets. It's a big thing, and I'm flat out trying to find the people to do it."
"I'll help," Seifer said suddenly, surprising himself. "I might not be the best person around, considering my history, but I can always work behind the scenes, that is, if you want me to Squall."
Squall looked at the blonde.
"Yeah sure. I'll find you something to do."
Seifer smiled. "Thanks Squall," and set to work on his meal.
'Wow, he looks beautiful when he smiles like that... bad thought' Squall blushed at the thought.
"You ok Squall?" Seifer mumbled through a mouthful. "You look a little flush."
"I'm fine."
"Squall! Hey Squall! Over here!"
The two squirmed as Selphie's loud cry filled their ears.
"Hey Squall, what you doing over ... oh, Seifer" she finished, more quietly than before.
"Hi Selphie," Seifer mumbled in response, tensing at the new arrival.
"Hello Selphie, your up early," Squall said, distracting the glaring brunette. Squall heard a small sigh of relief from Seifer as she turned towards Squall, smile at full beam once more.
"Rinoa snores."
"Ahhh. I thought you were at Irvine's last night."
Selphie huffed as she plonked her tray down next to Squall.
"Don't talk to me about that, that person!"
"What's he done this time?"
"Well, it was our anniversary last night – we've been together for 9 months now you know, so I decided to have a special evening with him, with dinner, soft music, you know the drill. So I go to his room all dressed up in my sexy dress and..."
"And?"
"And he didn't even notice me! He just sat and watched his basketball game, ignoring me!" Selphie wailed.
"Ah."
"So I went back to my room to find Rinoa in a bad mood because you," Selphie pointed her finger at Squall, "did something simular to her as well. She had set the room up so nice, with candles and such, and you turned her down for paperwork, which I see you still haven't done. And it didn't help that you missed dinner with her as well. She spent the night cursing your name, then Seifer's name, saying that somehow it's his fault that you don't want to see her, though I don't know how, since he's only been here for a day now," Selphie finally concluded, taking a bite out of her sandwich. Squall sighed.
"She's not going to be very happy with me today, is she?"
"Nope. I suggest that you hide yourself for the day. She's pointing her finger, and you know what happens when she does that."
Images of a frog jumping out from under Irvine's hat flashed across Squall's mind.
"Yep, I know exactly what you mean."
Bored of the conversation, Seifer listened with half an ear, while watching the gathering crows. More people were coming in, and although he wasn't easily seen, word got around and the room filled with the hushed whispering and glances towards their table. Before the war, crowds had never bothered him, but now they made him feel nervous and exposed, though he would never admit to that. Squall glanced at the blonde, noticing the slight change in the blonde. Noting the large crowd, one larger than usual, Squall decided it was time for Seifer to leave.
"Hey Selphie, I have to go to Balamb now. Can you get the list of names of the SEEDs attending the IGPTA meeting from Quistis and put it with Xu? Oh, and get Quistis to add Seifer's name to it as well, under administration."
"Yeah... sure Squall, whatever you say," Selphie replied doubtfully as Seifer and Squall stood up to leave.
"Thanks Selphie. See ya."
"Yeah, see ya Squall.
-------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
As soon as he got back, Seifer stumbled into the room, dumped his bags and ran to the bathroom, splashing his face with cold water. The trip to Balamb had been terrible. People staring, whispering, sneering. He near had a panic attack just walking down the road. Squall didn't seem to notice, a good thing for Seifer. He did want to appear weak in front of Squall of all people. It had been worse when they had walked through Garden. Squall had gone to his office, leaving Seifer to walk through Garden on his own for the first time since the war. With Squall gone, people were braver to express their feelings towards the ex knight – from a distance of course. Lapdog, freak, traitor were just some of the names they called out. Everywhere he went, people would stare and whisper. Seifer felt over whelmed, and as soon as he had turned down the hallway to Squall's room, he bolted, quickly punching in Squalls code and stumbled inside, away from the stares, the whispers, the people.
'God I'm pathetic,' Seifer thought, staring into the mirror as he waited till his heart stopped pounding.
'Absolutely pathetic.'
Finally composing himself, Seifer left the bathroom, gathered his bags of equipment and placed them away before flinging himself down on the couch.
'I want my papa. I want to go home.'
----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------
"Squall said to do what?" Rinoa asked Selphie. Irvine, Rinoa, Selphie and Zell were gathered around the fountain during their break. Irvine and Selphie, who had made up over their fight, were cuddling as Zell, bounced around, throwing punches at the thin air.
"To put Seifer on the list as one of SEED's who'll be helping during the IGPTA meeting."
"What did Quistis say when you told her?"
"She just frowned a bit and stuck his name down. I don't think she was happy with it either, but she won't question Squall."
"I'm not to sure that was a great idea," Irvine drawled.
"Of course not! This is Seifer we're talking about!" Zell exclaimed angrly. "The bastard will only fuck things up. He most likely has a plan to kill the leaders or something."
"I'm not too sure about that Zell," Selphie replied. "He seemed, different, more docile than before. In fact, he looked absolutely terrified when the cafeteria filled up with people," Selphie said, smirking at the memory. "If Squall hadn't decided to leave, he would of ended up under the table, sucking his thumb." The four laughed at the image.
"Yeah, well it sucks how we have to put up with him" Zell muttered, kicking the fountain wall repeatedly.
"Yeah well, just because we have to watch out for him doesn't mean that we have to do anything with him. Maybe if we just ignore him, he'll learn that he's not wanted here and leave," Rinoa said.
"Ok then, from now on we'll just ignore Seifer until he gets the message and leaves," Zell stated.
"Agreed" Selphie said firmly, images of her beloved Garden in ruins, done by the hands of Seifer burning in her mind. The four nodded in unison.
"Agreed."
----------------------- ------------------------------ ---------------------------------- -----------------------------
Seifer sat at the back of the classroom and concentrated on his work. Although the classroom there were hushed whispers and glances from the students whenever Quistis' back was turned. He had nearly bolted when he first arrived. The students were already inside and waiting when he arrived, and the moment he had stepped into the classroom they had all fallen silent, staring at him. Quistis had introduced him as though he was a new student instead of the ex sorceress knight before started the lesson. No one said anything but he could feel their stares as he walked down the centre aisle to his old seat. Wishing that he was back in Squall's room, he had pulled out his book and set to work, determined not to fail again.
"Psst."
Seifer looked up from his work to see the student in front of him staring.
"What."
"You really Seifer Almasy, the traitorous sorceress lapdog?"
"No, I'm the fucken tooth fairy. Piss off."
More whispers as the students nearby heard his answer.
'Come on Quistis, you never let anyone whisper before.'
"So why you here? If I was in your shoes I would have been to chicken shit to show my face again."
"Well fortunately for me, I'm not a coward like you. Now piss off you little shit before I show you why she chose me."
"Class, that is quite enough noise thank you very much. Quiet now and do your work. John, turn around now and leave the other students alone before I give you rubbish duty."
"Yes instructor," John replied sullenly, turning around.
'Thank you Quistis.'
It was the same thing all week, the whispers, the stares. The only class Seifer ever felt comfortable in was Advance Science 3, where there were only three other students, all too preoccupied with their own work to bother Seifer. The labs became Seifer's getaway from the whispers and stares, preferring the isolation of the labs to the hustle and bustle of Garden. It was in the lab where Squall found Seifer, catching up on the extra exercises he had been given earlier that day.
"So this is where you hide.
"Yes Squall, you want something?"
"Quistis told me about the incident in class today."
"He started it."
"And you should of let Quistis finish it instead of breaking his nose."
"He shouldn't of thought me harmless. That's the problem with youth today, they always think that they're the toughest ones around."
Squall smirked as he sat down next to Seifer.
"If I recall, you were like that too."
"Except for one main difference – I WAS the toughest son of a bitch around, and still am, as I just proved today."
"Heh, whatever."
"Is that all you came to say?"
"...No. I also wanted to see how your doing after your first week back as a student. You don't get much shit in class?"
"Nothing I can't handle."
"Ah, ok then. Well I guess I better get going then," Squall said, a bit disappointed by the fact.
"What's the rush? Some important meeting or something?"
"Na, just paperwork. What are you working on?"
"Just some exercises for science. I've done it all before but the professor wants to see where I'm at."
"I remember you helping me with my science homework, back when we were doing home schooling with Edea, when it was just the two of us," Squall said suddenly. "It's strange because I barely remember my past, despite the fact that I've stopped using GF's, but the other's are often remising about the things they use to do. Before I didn't care much about my past, but now... it would be nice to put a past to my name, even if it wasn't the nicest one," Squall said thoughtfully, staring into space.
"Yeah well, at the moment, I'd give anything to forget my past," Seifer said bitterly. "So you going to be home for dinner tonight?" Seifer said, changing the subject.
"Na. Rinoa's hooked me in for dinner with her and the guys."
"Sounds like fun," Seifer replied sarcastically.
"It has its moments."
"But you would rather be somewhere nice and quiet where you can unwind, huh?"
Squall looked over at Seifer.
"Yeah. Why you here?"
"To escape. Only a few people can come in here so I get left alone."
"It will die down soon."
Seifer snorted. "It never dies down."
"If you have any problems, you can always come to me, you know."
"...Thanks Squall."
"No problems. Look, I have to go now, and next period is about to start so I'll see you around huh?"
"Yeah see ya Squall."
Squall turned around to leave.
"Oh, Squall," Seifer called out, "If you want to hear more about your past, I'm always here ok?"
Squall smiled.
"Thanks Seifer."
--------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
"So Squall, hows the paperwork been?" Quistis teased as she sat down with her tray.
"Overloaded, like always."
"Oh well, just one of the perks of being headmaster."
"If that's a perk, then I'd hate to see what the bad past is."
"Why, keeping us in line of course, dear Squall," Irvine called out as he sat down next to Squall.
"Where's the others," Irvine asked, picking up a bread roll and taking a bite from it.
"Coming I think."
"So hows life been treating you Quis? Seifer been giving you any trouble?"
"Actually, no he hasn't. He's been working hard, though I noticed that he gets hassled by the students a lot. He ended up socking one of the main offenders, John, in the nose today though."
"Yes, I've talked to him about that," Squall said, taking a bite from his sandwich.
"You're not talking about Seifer again? How about saying hello to me, Squally poo?"
Squall winced at his nickname as he smiled up sweetly at Rinoa.
"Hello Rinoa, Please sit down and share a meal with us."
"You've got lettuce stuck in your teeth and don't talk to me like that – its scary coming from you. Move over Irvine. Quistis, what have you done to your hair? I know a stylist that's good at fixing hair up and you're not going to eat all that Zell? Your going to end up in the sickbay again..."
"She doesn't shut up, does she?" Quistis mouthed to Squall.
Squall shook his head as he removed the offending piece of lettuce.
"She even talks in her sleep," he mouthed back.
"Ello Evrbobby" Zell mumbled as he sat down, mouth filled with hotdog.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to talk with your mouth full Zell?"
"Way too many times! Hello peoples!" Selphie sang as she plopped herself into the space Irvine had hastily made.
"Hey Rinoa, have you heard..."
Squall looked around at the group before him. Everybody had someone, including him, but he never felt more alone.
'I'm not the only one alone though.'
"Ah, I have to go guys."
"So soon Squally?" Rinoa pouted as Squall stood up to leave.
"Yeah, sorry. See ya."
The other's watched in silence as Squall quickly exited the cafeteria.
"I wonder what's gotten into him?"
"Beats me," mumbled Zell through his mouthful, earning a wack across his head from Quistis.
"Ouch!"
----------------------------------------- --------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------
I thought you were eating with the gang?" Seifer greeted Squall.
"I was, I did, but I finished so I left," Squall said lamely.
"Oh, well, I've just finished cooking so I'm going to go eat now," Seifer replied, sounding just as lame.
Squall followed Seifer into the kitchen.
"So, anymore incidents that I should know of?"
"Nope, though I nearly punched another, but I held back."
"Well done."
"Is that all? Don't I get a gold sticker for good behaviour?" Seifer asked jokily as he dished himself up a plateful of pasta.
"Sorry, all out of gold stickers at the moment, but I'll find you something later on," Squall teased back, earning a grin from Seifer.
"What's that?"
"Its an old family recipe. You want to try some?"
"Yeah sure."
Seifer picked up a mouthful on his fork.
"Open up then."
Squall obliged and Seifer slid the forkful between Squalls lips, pulling it out slowly.
"Mmmm," Squall said, closing his eyes, tongue darting out to lick his top lip. Seifer just watched the sensual act put on by an unknowing Squall.
"Squall."
Squall opened his eyes to find Seifer standing above him.
"Seifer..." he murmured as Seifer lent down, placing the plate onto the bench and placed his hand on Squall's neck. Stopping just an inch from Squall, Seifer asked softly
"Can I kiss you?"
"Squall gazed into bright green eyes.
"Yes."
Squall felt Siefer's lips press against his own, moving softly. Squall's tongue darted out wanting access, needing more as he wrapped his arms around Seifer's neck, threading his fingers through Seifer's hair. Seifer moaned as Squall deepened the kiss, arms moving around Squall's waist, one hand grabbing a fistful of Squall's hair. Squall tasted like sweet honey, and Seifer deepened he kiss, wanting to taste as much of Squall as he could. Squall moulded his body against Seifer's, rubbing against Seifer unconsciously. Moaning softly, Seifer teared his mouth away from Squalls, lips meeting Squalls creamy neck as he kissed, sucked and nipped his way down, earning small moans from the brunette. Squall lent his head back, exposing more of his neck to Seifer's administrations. Moaning softly, Squall pressed harder against Seifer, earning a moan and nip from Seifer.
"Oh...Seifer,"
"Hearing Squall moaning his name, Seifer sped up his administrations on Squalls neck, hands sliding up Squalls chest, feeling the muscles rippling beneath his touch.
"Hyne Seifer... more"
"Anything you say Squall" Seifer moaned, pressing himself against Squall, rubbing firmly, causing Squall to moan louder.
"Oh Seifer, that's it, more..."
KNOCK KNOCK
"Squall ,you there?"
Squall quickly pushed Seifer away as he heard Rinoa call out through the door. The two just stood there, staring at each other, panting hard through swollen lips. Seifer broke the silence first.
"Squall, I ..."
"Squall! Open up. I know you're Rinoa," Squall replied breathlessly, trying to get himself under control.
"Just wait a moment."
Seifer used the moment when Squall was distracted to run to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. Turning on the cold tap, Seifer splashed cold water over his face, staring at himself in the mirror as he tried unsuccessfully to calm his breathing down.
'I just kissed Squall... and he kissed me back.'
Through the door Seifer could here muffled voices, and then the main door closing. A few minutes later Seifer heard a knock on the door.
"She's gone."
Seifer waited until he heard Squall's bedroom door shut before letting himself out.
'What the fuck just happened?'
"Just wait a moment."
Squall turned around to see Seifer disappearing into the bathroom.
'Fuck fuck fuck fuck.'
Running across to the main door, Squall took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. When he was breathing normally, he pressed the button, letting in the steaming girl.
"Squall! Why did you make me wait for so long? Why you so flushed?"
"No reason, what can I do for you Rinoa?" Squall asked, diverting Rinoa's attention back to her original task.
"You took off so quickly at dinner tonight I was worried. I went to your office, but you weren't there so I came here. You sure you're ok Squall? Are you feeling sick? It would explain why you look so flushed. Are you coming down with something? I can give you a look over if you want."
"No, no need Rinoa," Squall said quickly. "I'm fine, nothing a little sleep won't help."
"...If you say so Squall," Rinoa replied sceptically. "If you feel any worse you go to the sick bay ok?"
"Ok Rinoa," Squall said, ushering Rinoa out of the door. "Good night Rinoa."
"Good night Squ..." Rinoa said, cut off by the closing door. "Fine then," She huffed as she turned and stormed away. Walking up to the bathroom door, Squall knocked softly.
"She's gone."
And took off into his bedroom, slamming the door behind him, flinging himself backwards onto his bed.
'Fuck, what just happened?'
---------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
RINNNG
"Lo?" Squall mumbled sleepily into the phone as he looked at his alarm clock.
'5am? The fucken bastard on the other end better have a good excuse.'
"Hi there Squall, Sorry if I woke you," came Laguna's cheerful voice from the other end. Anyone who could be cheerful at 5am in the morning deserved to be shot in Squall's point of view, especially since he hadn't had a good night's sleep since the heated kiss that he had shared with Seifer.
"What's with the early morning wake up call?"
"Sorry Squall, but I'm nervous. The first of the delegates are arriving today and I'm wound up so tight that I can't sleep."
"So you decided that if you can't sleep, the neither can I."
"I just wanted to go over the details again."
"Again?"
"Yes, again."
Squall could hear Kiros grumbling in the background.
'Good to see that I'm not the only one dragged up at 5am.'
"Not again."
"Shh Kiros."
"Father, the arrangements are just the same as last night. Relax, it will be fine, now calm down before your leg cramps up."
"My legs been cramped up all night, which is why I can't sleep," Laguna moaned down the phone. Squall groaned as he laid back onto his pillow.
"Stop worrying and it will uncramp."
"But..."
"No buts. Now listen to Kiros and relax. Its going to be a good day."
"If you say so Squall. Good bye."
"Bye father."
Squall hung up the phone and stared at the ceiling.
'Why me?'
----------------------------- --------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
ANPart 2 is finished. I'm not to sure if this chapter went ok, I wrote it during my writer's block so it might not have the same tone as the others. Squall's and Seifer's first kiss! Finally! I hope it turned out ok, it's the first time I've written a scene like that. Remember to read and review, and thank you to my reviewers (you know who you are,) for being so patient. I have two more chapters on paper so I will be updating a bit more quickly from now.
