I'm No Angel
"Selphie and Training…"
Squall's POV
I opened the door to let Selphie and Zell enter. It was Friday Night, in other words Buddy Night. On buddy night we would have each other at our houses and take turns hosting, usually we would watch a movie and play a game. Selphie thought of the idea 2 years ago and we've been doing it since. Zell hosted last time and somehow I got unbelievably drunk and 'supposedly' I road a electric floor waxer down the halls of his appartment complex. Tonight,it was my turn to host. I shut the door behind them as they stepped inside.
"What movies did you get?" I asked.
"None, I thought it would be nice just to talk and eat dinner," Selphie said enthusiastically.
"Okay," I said as Zell, Selphie, and I sat down at the table. "I ordered pizza."
"Cool, I Love Pizza!" Zell yelled, punching a hand in the air. The doorbell rang indicating that the delivery boy was here. Before I could even stand, Zell yelled, "I'll get it!" and ran off.
"So, what did you do on your day off?" Selphie asked.
"Nothing much but I do have a message from a cowboy to you…" I said, trying to hide my smile as Selphie's eyes lit up.
"Oh, really! What?" she asked, bouncing slightly.
I chuckled. "He said that he was into you and wanted to know if you would be into him."
"Tell him, 'Heck yes!'" Selphie cried excitedly. "You can give him my number too," She added with a devilish smile on her face.
"Sure enough," I said. Just then, Zell zoomed in carrying two boxes of pizza and set them on the table. We dug in right away, Selphie and I grabbing a slice each while Zell nabbed four.
The Diner...
My day off was great, but here I was at the diner again. Another day of avoiding Seifer and his corny pick-up lines (that I secretly liked…). As usual, I couldn't avoid him though, because it seems I always get the table he chooses to sit at. I walked up him and his fellow construction workers slowly.
"Can I take your order?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah, whatever the special is," Seifer replied and the others agreed.
"That all?" I asked hopefully.
"No, I have a question," Seifer replied, his jade eyes looking into mine.
I knew it…
"Yes?" I asked, indicating for him to ask his question.
"You use a gunblade, right?" He asked.
"So?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I need a training partner, and I'm sure you understand how hard it is to find another gunblader to train with…" Seifer replied. I nodded.
"You want to train with me?" I asked, getting to point.
"Yes, will ya?" Seifer asked, hopefulness filling his eyes.
Well, I guess I could. I mean it's not an actual date or anything like that. And I do need to train…
"Sure, as long as it isn't considered a date or anything," I finally replied.
"Yeah, sure. So what's your number; I'll call you," Seifer said innocently.
"555-4013," I replied, before turning to leave.
Seifer's POV
YES! I got his number! It may not be a date yet, but soon enough.
"You sly dog," Irvine said. "Oh, here he comes again."
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Irvine, Selphie said 'Heck yes,' and her number is 555-3020. Good Luck. But, hurt her and I'll kill ya," Squall said, smiling slightly before nodding goodbye and leaving to return to his job.
I look over to Irvine who has an insanely happy grin on his face. "I got her number and she likes me!" I smiled; it looks like lady luck was being generous this day.
Seifer's Apartment...
I hung my keys up on the little hook on the wall and took a seat on the couch facing the phone, which was on the table across from me. I stared at it for a long time, questions running through my head. With any other guy I would have called ages ago, not bothering to be nervous or having to work up the nerve to do something so simple, but it felt different with Squall…like it would matter if everything didn't go right. Still I stared at the phone a chorus of words such as 'Call him,' '555-4013,' 'What's the big deal? JUST CALL HIM,' were going through my head. Finally, I reached for the phone and quickly punched in the number, half expecting it to be a phony.
"Hello?" a soft musical voice answered: Squall.
"Yeah, hi. It's me, Seifer," I said quickly.
"Oh?" Squall said, an unknown emotion, maybe excitement, in his voice.
"And, well, I was wondering what time you wanted to meet up for training?" I asked, masking my nervousness the best I could.
"Well, I'm off Saturday," he replied.
"Great, me too…how about 10 a.m. at the rock by the beach. You know the place?" I asked, grinning sadistically.
"Yeah, that's fine. Can't wait. See you Saturday," Squall said softly before hanging up.
Oh gods...he said yes!
The doorbell rang at that moment. I got up from the couch and went to get the door. I opened it and Irvine stood there grinning at me.
"Hey." I said letting Irvine in.
"You look happy, whats up" Irvine asked curious.
"Well, I called Squall and asked if he would go and train with me on Saturday, and he said yes" I said, smiling like a goon.
Irvine laughed. "I've never seen you this excited about a guy before."
"Well he's special. What about Selphie?" I asked following Irvine to the couch.
"Yeah, I really like her. We're going to the movies friday." Irvine said before getting a look on his face that said 'wow! I just got great idea'. "Hey! Maybe Selphie can get Squall to come."
"Not a bad idea. Do you think she'll do it?" Iasked hopefully.
"Yeah." The cowboy replied.
"But he said that he would only go if It wasn't considered a date. Maybe he doesn't want anything to do with me!"Isaid getting really nervious.
"It will be fine. You can get him interested in you." Irvine said.
"You think?" I asked.
"Yes, just don't push it. Besubtle." Irvine said patting my shoulder.
Putting my head in my hand I replied, "We'll see tomorrow night."
Squall's POV
"Oh god...Seifer asked me out and I said yes. How will I do this? He did agree it wasn't a date right? No I don't remember him saying that.What would he say if he found out about my night job? Would he be disgusted? Would he ever want to talk to me again? What am I going to do" These were some of the questions I asked Selphie the minute she stepped through my door.
"Squall, calm down. You'll be fine. Just go training with him don't think of it as a date if you don't want to." Selphie said sitting me down on my black leather couch.
"Selphie, I think I might really like him though. I don't want him to find out about me." I said feeling hopeless.
"Then don't tell him, he isn't your boyfriend yet. Who knows maybe he won't mind." Selphie said trying to calm me down from my somewhat panicked state.
"He won't mind? Of course he will! The only people I have ever told that havn't freaked is you and Zell." I pointed out.
"Just go on this thing Saturday and see how it goes. You're not sure just how much you like him yet. Everything will work out, I'm sure." Selphie said putting a winning smile on her face.
"I sure hope your right, Selphie." I replied.
The Rock, Saturday…
The two gunbladers fought each other as if dancing, their blades singing in the air. There seemed to be some sort of spark between them, an emotion neither had shared with any other opponent, a certain passion between them apparent in their movements. They didn't even realize that they had been training for hours. Sweat glistened on their bodies as they moved together perfectly. They finally rested their tired bodies as their blades clashed together, their faces inches apart. Their breath mingled together, and they lowered the blades. Their eyes locked, green against gray. For a moment, everything around them just disappeared. And then, slowly, their lips met, locking in a passionate kiss…
They finally pulled apart staring at one another. Then the brunette ran away sprinting as if the devil was at his heels.The blonde had no chance to catch him before the brunette jumped into his car and drove away.
