Seifer's Pov
Squall stumbled back and ran off stage and I was hot on his trail ignoring the outraged shouts from the crowd. I found Squall in the dressing room, sitting on the bench. His eyes were glassy with unshed tears and he seemed to be hyperventilating. I sat next to him and set a hand on his shoulder, he flinched.
"Squall" I said gently.
"Yes?" His voice just a whisper.
"Is this why you wont go out with me?" I asked.
"Yes." He replied a tear sliding down his ivory cheek.
"Why?" I needed to know.
There was a long silence in which I spent gently wiping tears from Squall's cheek.
"I didn't think you would want to be with a….a whore." Squall finished his voice cracking slightly. Just like my heart was at the sight.
I gently grabbed Squall's chin pulling his lips to mine, using the surprised gasp as an advantage, I explored his mouth with my tongue searching until I couldn't breatheany longer.
"Squall, I don't think you're a whore." I said, brushing his hair away from his eyes, "I think you are the most beautiful and pure person I've ever met." Squall's eyes filled with tears again. He sniffed, trying to stall them.
"Cry Squall, I'm here to save you now." I said pulling him into my arms. His shoulders shook as he cried, letting out everything he's held in for thelast few years. My shirt started to grow damp when I heard someone yelling Squall's name and angrily stomping down the hall. The door flew open I held Squall tighter as a wave of protectiveness fell over me..
"What the hell?" I said to myself.
"My boss." Squall whispered into my neck.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" Chet yelled spit flying from his mouth.
"That was Squall quitting." I said glaring dangerously at the man.
Squall's head shot up "What?" He looked to Chet then back to me. "No I can't quit! I need the money."
"Squall you don't have to do this, I'm here now, I can help you." I said, surprised at Squall's reaction.
"Sure, but what happens when you're bored of me and abandon me? Then I'd be stuck without my job!" Squall said pulling away from me.
"Squall! You work at Fujin's café! Isn't that enough?" I said starting to get angry.
"No, it's not enough! Not when you've got loans to pay off, and a sister to put through school!" Squall said more tears falling from his eyes he wiped them away hastily. I stood up and grasped Squall's shoulders bringing our faces close.
"Squall I'll help you find a new job, okay? Please just don't do this no more! I love you." I said desperately.
"You what?" Squall said, finally calming.
"I love you." I repeated pulling him into my arms. I wasn't surprised at my own words, I knew I loved him. Squall hugged me back and happiness filled my heart, he wasn't rejecting me.
"Oh gods, what do I say?" Squall said.
"I don't know maybe that you'll go on a date with me and then we can take it from there?" I said.
"Okay." Squall smiled, finally happy.
"Oh for god's sake! Enough! Squall your good money and all but I can't take your attitude your fired! Now leave!" Chet said before storming out of the room. Squall gathered his stuff and stuffed it into a bag he kept in his locker.
"I guess I'll have to search for a new job anyway, huh?" Squall said smiling. I was pretty sure he wasn't too sad about being fired. Squall swung the bag over his shoulders and started for the parking lot. I followed him.
"So, you said you would go out with me? Have you changed your mind?" I asked stopping at his car.
"No, I still want to go out with you." he said a twinkle in his eye as he smiled.
"When?" I asked returning the smile.
"How about…Saturday night? I'm off and hey maybe you'll have found a job for me by then." Squall said.
"Sure and I plan on doing everything I promised, because I wasn't lying when I said I loved you." I said.
"Saturday it is then. This time it is a real date." Squall said, winking at me. I couldn't resist the urge to kiss him, so I did. I leaned in until our lips brushed and we shared breath for a few moments before parting. That wasn't nearly enough so I leaned in again this time for a soul searing kiss that seemed to last for hours not minutes. I wrapped my arms around his waist pulling him closer, and he wrapped his arms around my neck and stood on his tippy toes kissing me harder. I moaned and took the opportunity to search his ass. He smiled and chuckled as we parted, my hand still resting on his backside. He grabbed my wrist and pulled it up to his waist before placing his hand around my neck once again.
"Goodnight." He said before kissing my cheek and climbing into his car.
"Sweet Dreams." I replied, smiling goofily.
Squall turned on his car and pulled out, I watched as he drove down the street planning to stand there until his car disappeared. His car turned right almost out of my view, my eyes widened as I watched in horror. Another car plowed into his smaller car knocking it into the air where it seemed to hang for a few moments, then it fell, crashing loudly and rolled 15 to 20 ft. I was sprinting toward the crash before I could even comprehend what was happening.
"SQUALL" I yelled, sprinting to his car. I noticed people on the streets already calling 911 so I didn't bother, only wanting to reach Squall to check on him. I realized that his car was flipped upside down the sides bent and the back seat was totally crushed, luckily the front didn't take the bulk of the blow from the larger SUV.
I sucked in my breath as I examined Squall, blood trickled down his forehead from a wound at his temple. He was hanging upside down with his seatbelt on. I pulled the door open jarring it from it's broken hinges and carefully pulled Squall out of the car setting him on the ground. Squall's hair was matted with blood and his clothes where torn. A tear slipped from my eye and rolled down my cheek as I pressed my finger on his neck trying to find a pulse.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I felt his pulse against my fingers faint but still there. Carefully I put my ear against his chest and listened to his breath coming in and out in short gasps. I could hear the faint sound of sirens rushing toward the scene and I sat there stroking Squall's hand as I waited for the ambulance praying that Squall would make it. I didn't want to lose my love just after finding him.
Kiros's POV
Damn, Winhill hasn't changed a bit. I thought as I strolled idly through the town watching as young children played in the gardens, chasing butterflies. Too bad I couldn't stay and enjoy this, I'll be in the hospital or six feet under once Laguna finds out about his son and me. Stopping an old woman as she walked by, a bouquet of flowers in her hand, I asked If she knew of a man named Laguna Loire.
"Of course young man, he lives in the old house were Raine used to live. Probably sitting at the window that overlooks her old garden. That garden is full of weeds now. That is all he ever does, that poor boy really misses his friends maybe you could cheer him up." She said before continuing down the dusty street.
"Thank You!" I called to her, running toward the old house by the bar. The house was still just as cozy looking as I remembered it even though some of the paint had chipped off the walls. I slowly walked up to the door and took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves. I knocked loudly once then twice before I heard Laguna's voice calling for me to come in. I opened the door and stepped inside. Looking around the house for Laguna. I found him walking out of the bathroom.
"Kiros!" He cried happily, running up to me and hugging me tightly. I smiled remembering back when we were still very close, and all the 'bear hugs' as most people called them, he always gave me. I hugged him back, reluctant to let go as I knew he wouldn't be hugging me much longer after he found out what I had done.
"Laguna, I've missed you!" I said as we separated, clasping my hand on his shoulder, relishing the feel of his long soft hair as it brushed over my hand.
"I've missed you to, I know I haven't been keeping in touch and all--" Laguna trailed of rubbing the back of his neck before breaking into a happy grin "But hey, at least were here now right? Where's Ward?"
"He couldn't come, he works at the prison down by Dollet." I answered.
"What about you? Where have you been?" Laguna asked thoughtfully.
"Oh well, I've been in Deling City for the past year. Retired and enjoying my money." I replied.
"Good, me too, though I've saved most of my money! Do you want to get a drink at the bar or something?" Laguna asked already putting on his jacket.
"Yeah." Gives me more time before I break the news to you, I added in my head.
"Okay, Lets Go."
We walked the short distance to the tavern that had always been popular hang out here. I remembered the first time I came here, when Raine used to own it. Sighing to myself, I also remembered how jealous I was of her when Laguna revealed to me that he loved her, and she was pregnant with his child. I had felt resentment as I could see the compatibility between them and I knew they belonged together. I hated myself for plotting in my head, ways to break them up. Especially, when I saw how it broke Laguna's heart when he found out that Raine had died while giving birth to their son while we were on a mission in Esthar. The very son I ravished while thinking of Laguna, the very son that Laguna never had a chance to see before he was given away to the orphanage. The very son Laguna searched for, for eleven years before moving back to Winhill living alone miserably. That is when we grew apart, Laguna, Ward, and me. We went our separate ways and started new lives.
We talked while sipping at our alcohol for hours talking about old times, and what we have been doing for the pastsix years. I knew I was going to have to break the news to him soon, may it be tonight or tomorrow. I was pretty sure Laguna was going to want to see Squall so I had bought two train tickets for the 9:00a.m. route to Deling, that would be leaving tomorrow. I guess it was now or never.
"Laguna, I have something to tell you." I started looking into Laguna's bright eyes.
"What?" He asked concern clouding his face.
"There was a different reason ,besides missing you, for me to come searching for you." I said taking a swig of my alcohol thinking I needed it. Laguna was silent.
"I found your son, Laguna." I said.
"What! You're sure?" Laguna asked, his hand clutched the side of the table.
"Yes I'm sure, I found him in Deling just two days ago. I bought you a ticket for the train already. It leaves tomorrow at nine a.m." I said standing.
Laguna noticed that I was getting ready to leave, he looked slightly puzzled.
"Maybe we should finish this conservation at your house." I said starting for the door Laguna hurrying after me.
We walked to Laguna's in silence, the whole time Laguna just stared at his feet seemingly thinking. When we were settled back down in Laguna's living room, sitting on the couch, I continued.
"I knew you would want to know so I came in search of you. Here's your ticket." I said handing him the ticket.
"How did you find him?" Laguna asked while looking over the ticket.
I sucked air through my nose quickly and tension filled the air and Laguna noticed.
"What Kiros? What's wrong?" he asked me frantically.
"Calm down okay. I don't know if you'll like this, but promise me you won't freak out, It was an accident." I said looking at my hands that were shaking, I placed them on my lap so Laguna wouldn't notice..
"What was an accident, Kiros?" Laguna asked panic thickening his voice.
"I found him at a strip/whore house joint called the Gentleman's Club he was working there. Laguna I swear I didn't know it was him until he told me his name afterward." I said hurriedly, fearing Laguna's reaction. Laguna look at me puzzled until he understood the full meaning of my words. His eyes widened and he gripped the arm of the couch until knuckles were white. He looked sadistic.
"Are you implying that my son is a whore, and you paid to sleep with him!" Laguna yelled angrily.
I ducked my head my eyes starting to burn, I didn't blame Laguna. It was normal for him to explode like this. I nodded my head. "Yes, I did, and I'm sorry Laguna. I didn't know! If I did I would have never have done it!" I said desperately trying to get Laguna to understand. Laguna just got angrier, "I can't believe you!" He yelled standing up his back ridged and his fingers balling into fists. "He's my SON!" Laguna raised his fist in the air, I stood and prepared for the blow. Laguna hit me on my left cheek so hard that I fell back into the chair. "I'm sorry Laguna." I said again clutching my throbbing cheek.
"You're sorry!" Laguna yelled now pacing the room. " You better be! Tomorrow, I'm going to go see him and you're going to come with me and show me exactly where he is! Then you're going to leave and you better never come near me or my son again." Laguna yelled before walking stiffly up the stairs. I could hear loud bangs and crashes as Laguna took his anger out on his furniture. I walked over to the couch and laid myself down on it tears running down my cheeks I didn't even try to sleep because I knew I wouldn't be successful. The next few days were going to be hard with Laguna, but what could I expect?
Laguna's POV
Stiffly I walked up the stairs, my hands curling and uncurling into fists. I walked into my bedroom, slamming the door. I grabbed the chair at my desk and threw it, the chair flew across the room hitting the wall and crumbling to the floor. I picked up other various objects in my room and threw them, a majority of them breaking. I was pissed. It was a little strange I will admit. I feel rage coursing through my veins over this….situation. I've never even met my son yet I still feel this need to protect him as if I raised him myself. I had been searching for him for17 years, and yet, I was so angry with myself for not being able to be there for my son.
I fell back on the bed covering my eyes with my arms. Maybe I would eventually be able to forgive Kiros, he didn't know after all, and I was thankful that he actually came and told me about Squall. I pulled the train ticked from my pocket looking over it again. Tomorrow I will finally meet my son. By the sound of things he really needs a father right now. I swore to myself that I would protect my son when Raine first told me she was pregnant, yet I had failed at that. Now was the time to fix it.
There you go Chapter 6! I'll be working on Chapter 7 and I hope to get It out as soon as possible! Please Review!
Review! Review! And maybe I'll dedicate my next chapter to you! (that rhymed…)
