Chapter Two: Joke or Not?

Seifer stared at the signature and narrowed his eyes. 'This has to be a joke. Probably Selphie, Irvine and Zell. They know I like the sod, so it would be just like them to do that kind of thing. Wait do I like, like him? Oh Hyne, just concentrate on the signature.' Seifer thought and tried to determine if it was his handwriting or not.

'I can't tell if it's really his or not. It looks real enough but Selphie's pretty good at imitating other's signatures.' He thought and put the cards aside. He threw away his garbage and came back, looking through the magazines. 'It must be a joke or a prank.' He chuckled to himself, half convinced that's what it was.

Meanwhile in his own apartment Squall was reading his own mail and sighed as he tossed the crap out. 'Bills, bills. Why did I even get those credit cards? Oh yeah, I'm a tool.' He thought and sighed. 'Seifer is such a tard. I mean he hates Valentines Day, but he still wants cards. Weird.' Squall thought and opened his bottle of soda. "I need a neck rub...actually a whole body massage." He said aloud.

"Maybe I can get someone to give me one. Nah. They'll more than likely think I'm trying to pull a move on them. Damn, I'm tired. I just woke up a couple of hours ago, so I can't go back to sleep." Squall sighed again. "I must be a nut to keep talking to myself." He said and started some left over paperwork.

Back in Seifer's room, his thoughts kept going back to the card. 'Alright. I'm going to ask Selphie if she knows anything about this." He said aloud. "Man people are going to think I'm crazy it they hear me talking to myself." He said and left his room. Seifer went to Selphie's apartment door and knocked. After a few minutes Selphie opened it and peered at him with large eyes.

"Seifer? What are you doing here?" She asked and let him in. "Well I think someone is playing a trick on me." Seifer said. "Oh yeah. Why do you think that?" Selphie sat in her rocker and Seifer sat on a small loveseat. "Because Squall would never sent me a Valentine." He said and Selphie's eyes went huge before bursting out laughing. "What's so damn funny?" Seifer asked, his green eyes narrowing.

"Just I can't believe someone would do that. Especially using Squall's name." She said. "So you don't know anything about this or heard anyone saying their going to pull a good one on me?" Seifer asked. "Nope. If anyone's planning anything I'm not aware of it." Selphie said. "You know Seifer, it's possible Squall really did send it." She said with a shrug.

"Selphie, you know as well as I do Squall would never like me like that. Never. Besides I think he's more into women." Seifer said and Selphie smirked. "Uh-huh." She said and Seifer gave her a curious look. "What? Do you know something I don't?" He asked and she smiled. "Maybe."

Seifer gave her a threatning look and cracked his knuckles. "Tell me Miss. Sunshine or else." He said and Selphie blew a raspberry. "You don't indimidate me Seify." She giggled and he sighed. "Fine, but tell me what you're talking about." He said and she crossed her arms. "I'm saying I think Squall is more...gay." Selphie said and Seifer's jaw dropped. "You can't possibly be serious. Just because he doesn't date don't make him gay." Seifer said.

"I know, but he had plenty oppurtunities to bed some women, but he never did. At least that's what I'm told." She said. "If you really want to know about this, go ask him." Seifer stood up with a chuckle. "Yeah right. I'm really going to go up to him and go. Squall are you gay and did you send me a Valentine? Pfft! He'll cream my balls for sure." He said. "Fine, but you'll never know if he sent it though." She said.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm going out now, maybe go to a party." Seifer said. "Seifer, no one is having a pary this early in the morning. Go grade your papers for Monday, I know you haven't done it yet." Selphie said. "You're not my boss Miss. Sunshine." He scoffed and pointed his nose in the air.

"No I'm not." Selphie admitted. "But Squall is and he can fire you if you don't do your job. He can even kick you out if he feels like it." She said, a smirk playing at her lips. "I know damn it and shut up. I'm going." Seifer said storming out of her place and bumped into Squall. "...Sorry about that." Seifer said, his cheeks turning pink.

Squall raised an eyebrow and a small smile appeared. "That's alright, just don't go crashing me through a wall, that would really piss me off." Squall said and waved as he left Seifer blushing. 'Well I wonder what has Seifer blushing?' Squall thought with a chuckle.
