Chapter Three: Plan #1

Sunday arrived and Seifer woke up with a headache from trying to come up with something. The only thing he could think of was to send a letter to Squall's apartment. 'Hyne. I suppose I should get up, it is almost 10:00 after all.' Seifer thought and got out of his bed. After a quick shower and shave Seifer was on his way to his kitchen when something caught his eye.

By the door and envelope was laying, like someone pushed it under. ''Well, now I wonder what this is." He picked it up and seen his name written delicatly on the red envelope. He opened it and it was another Valentine, but this one had kissing Cherubs. Again Squall's name was signed at the bottom.

"I have to find out who's messing with me. After breakfast I'm leaving Squall a note." Seifer said and went to fix himself some eggs and bacon. He put the envelope and card up with the other. 'I wonder if he really is sending them? I mean he did smile at me yesterday.' He thought as he cooked.

"Pfft. Yeah fucking right. Stop trying to get your hopes up." With a pause he put the food on a plate and sat down to eat. 'Am I hoping they're from him? Why do I feel so giddy when I even believe there's a slim chance that he might be interested?' He thought and his eyes bugged out. "Hyne! I can't possibly have the hots for him? Can I?" Seifer sighed and closed his eyes. "Damn it, I guess I do. I mean the other day I thought I did my now I know." He quickly ate his food and wrote a little note.

With a sniff he left his place and stopped outside of Squall's. He looked around to make sure no on was watching and slipped the paper under Squall's door, then ran like hell to the Cafeteria for some of their cappucino. Irvine, Selphie, and Zell were sitting around a table, having a cup of their own choice of hot cappucino.

"What's up Seifer?" Selphie asked. "Oh, nothing. I just decided to come here and have some hot coffee product goodness." He said, sitting down with his cup. Squall walked in and Seifer mentally groaned. "Hey Squall. Is something wrong?" Zell asked and Squall sat down with a shrug. 'I got this little...note under my door." Squall said and they looked at him.

"What does it say?" Irvine asked. "It says, 'I know you're the one and need to know why.' I don't get it. I'm the one what?' Squall said. 'Ah shit.' Seifer thought. "I don't know what it means." Zell said and Irvine agreed. Selphie though gave Seifer a look out of the corner of her eyes.

"Maybe it's one of those 14 year old girls that follow you around." Seifer said, ignoring the looks from the perky girl. "They don't follow me. At least not now." Squall said. "Well I'm off. I have errands to run." He said and left them.

Seifer sighed when he was gone and couldn't help but feel guilty. 'I shouldn't have done that. I should've just came right out and ask him. Oh well, I'll send him another note telling him to meet me somewhere. That way I can explain everything.' He thought and Selphie flicked his head. "Hey!" Seifer pushed her hand away.

"Irvine, and Zell left. You didn't even notice they were gone." Selphie said. "Now, why did you send Squall such a vauge note? I mean you could've always wrote, 'I know you've been sending me Valentines and I would like to know if you're interested.' That would've been way better." She said.

"I know, I know. Don't tell me what I already know." Seifer scoffed and stood up. "Now if you don't mind, I'm going now. I have lots of things to do." He said and left. "You're such an asshole Seifer." Selphie called and growled as he left the room. Seifer ignored her and continued to his place.

Meanwhile Squall drove through Balamb and stopped at a few shops. All the while he had a smile on his face. 'Seifer, Seifer. I know it was you that sent that note, I can tell your handwriting anywhere. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid. Or illegal.' Squall thought and finished his errands, going back to Garden.

When Squall arrived at his apartment he seen a note inside, under his door again. 'Seifer, what are you doing?' He closed the door and opened the note. 'Meet me in the Secret Area in the Training Center at 7:00 PM. I want to talk.' Squall raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Okay Seifer, I'll be there at 7:00." He said aloud and went to eat something.
