Chapter Eleven: No relationship exists without disagreements.
Seifer's POV.
Waking up with Squall in my arms felt better then seeing the first rays of dawn glistening in the dewdrops gathered on a red rose. Wow, being in love made me quite poetic. Squall shifted in my arms pressing closer to me. I watched his face peaceful with sleep, and thought to myself that I had never seen him quite so beautiful. I leaned down and brushed my lips across the brunette's forehead. 'I can't wait until Squall's eighteenth birthday'. I was determined to show Squall what sex was really supposed to mean. That you loved one another. Suddenly I was forced out of my reverence when the phone rang. I quietly muttered several curses as I gently placed Squall on his side so I could slip out of bed. Grabbing up the phone quickly hoping not to wake the younger man sleeping in my bed.
"Hello?" I answered quietly.
"Mr. Almasy?" A woman's voice asked.
"Yes, this is he."
"Hello Mr. Almasy this is Detective Trepe If I may ask you, is Mr. Leonhart is staying with you now?" She asked, never breaking her professionalism.
"Yeah, he's staying with me." I answered, wondering what the hell this woman wanted with them at- I glanced at the clock-at 10:30 in the morning.
"Next time he moves you would do well to inform me."
"Yeah, whatever, he ain't moving anywhere else." Quistis cleared her throat before speaking again. "May I speak with Mr. Leonhart?" I glanced at Squall who was sleeping peacefully. "No, he's sleeping you can speak to me." Quistis sighed but continued. "I called to inform you that we will need another interview with Mr. Leonhart before Mr. Vasquez's trial. We would like to set up a date and time." There was a small rustle of sheets and a small yawn behind me. Shit.
"Seifer?" Squall sat up looking at me questioningly. I put a hand over the mouthpiece of the phone after telling Trepe to hold on a second.
"Good morning baby, did I wake you up?" Squall smiled, "Good Morning. Yeah, but it's okay. Who are you taking to?"
"Detective Trepe, she just called." I answered.
Squall made a face. "What does she want?"
"She wants to set up a meeting for a second interview. She says that you need to tell them and your lawyer the whole story before telling a jury." Squall looked panicked for a moment before he settled down and shrugged. "I don't have a lawyer, I can't afford one either." I rubbed his knee and Squeezed before turning back to the phone.
"He doesn't have a lawyer."
"We can provide him with a state lawyer that works on pro-bono cases."
"Are you kidding me? I'm not letting a pro-bono shit assed lawyer take his case."
"Well then you'll have to hire one, unless you don't want to get any compensation from this."
"Compensation?" I asked my interest perking.
"Yes, Mr. Leonhart could get a nice sum of money if he sues."
I smiled. "We'll be doing that."
"Then he needs a lawyer." Quistis replied.
"Don't worry he'll have one."
"Very well, call me at 577-4817 when you've found a lawyer. Then we can make arrangements to meet.'
"Sure."
"Goodbye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone then turned to Squall bringing him into my arm and kissing his soft lips.
"Guess we've got to go find you a lawyer." I smiled down at him. "You could get a very big amount of money if you sue. You could pay for Ellone's school for the rest of her life!" Squall smiled widely and pinned me down with a forceful kiss. After a few moments he pulled away and a sad look washed over his face. "I could never afford a lawyer Seifer." Squall looked crestfallen and my heart clenched.
"You won't have to, I'll pay for it."
"Hell no!" Squall looked appalled, "I could never make you pay for a lawyer Seifer."
"I want to though! Please? Let me do this for you."
"Why?"
"Well dimwit, because I love you." I said teasingly.
"I love you too."
"Then let me get you a lawyer."
"No."
"Squall! You need this! You need a good lawyer and you know it."
"I can't do it, I've always worked for what I got. I never accepted Charity."
"And if you would of then you would have never been a WHORE!" I roared.
"I was only doing what I had to!"
"Yeah right Squall, You had friends, and don't even tell me they didn't offer you money and a place to live. Don't even tell me they couldn't put in a word with their bosses. I've seen the clothes they wear. They have money!"
"So what! I don't accept charity!"
"Yeah you'd rather let other men fuck you then accept a little bit of help from a friend. Maybe you really wanted to be a whore!"
"Seifer! How could you say that?" Squall shot up the bedclothes falling to the floor. "How could you think that!" With that Squall ran out of the room leaving nothing but silence.
"Shit" I mumbled under my breath. "Why the fuck did I say those things?" Seifer hurriedly pulled on some clothes and ran out the door. Squall couldn't have gone far he didn't have a car. Once outside Seifer looked in all directions there was no sign of the brunette. Seifer had no idea where the younger teen would have gone, but he'd find him and apologize no matter what. Pulling his car keys from his pants Seifer hopped in the car and started it. First place would be Squall's old apartment. Seifer hoped that was where Squall was headed because he didn't know where any of Squall friends lived.
Squall's POV
I ran not knowing where I was headed just running in one direction as fast as I could. I suppose it was stupid of him to expect Seifer to be able to accept his past. All Squall could do was hope, but it was no use the blonde was obviously disgusted. Squall didn't want to cry, he didn't want to feel this way, but there was no use holding the tears back. He loved Seifer, and Seifer loved him but he couldn't have a half relationship with the blonde. If Squall's past really made Seifer that disgusted then they wouldn't have lasted anyway. Squall lifted his head finally looking where he was going and saw that he was headed for the area where his father had told him he was staying.
"Squall?" I whipped around, Kiros was standing behind me holding a bag in one hand and keys in the other.
"What are you doing here?" I asked whipping a tear from under my eye.
"We needed a few things and I decided to walk since the store isn't the far, what's wrong?" Kiros answered.
"Nothing."
"Don't even tell me that, I'm not stupid." The dark man said touching my shoulder he motioned for me to walk with him.
"It's nothing."
"Has something to do with Seifer, doesn't it?"
"Maybe."
"How about you come back with me? Laguna really wants to see you."
"Sorry."
Kiros smiled, "It's okay we understand that your confused, but I wish you would give Laguna a chance."
"Thanks." I replied and we took the rest of the walk in silence. It wasn't long before Kiros's mansion came into our view. Kiros inserted the key and unlocked the gate and motioned me inside. I hesitantly followed. Kiros's mansion was as big as I remembered, even more beautiful now that I could see the gardens surrounding the house glistening in the sunlight.
"Squall!" Laguna appeared at the door looking hopeful.
"Hi." I greeted quietly. Laguna frowned noticing Squall's red eyes and nose.
"You've been crying, what happened?"
"Let's go inside to talk." Kiros quipped, gently leading me inside. Kiros sat me down on a comfortable sofa in his living room before depositing the bag in the kitchen. Laguna sat and stared at me in silence, I kept my eyes on my shoes. Kiros walked back in and sat on the chair next to Laguna's. I started to fidget under their gazes.
"Did you and Seifer get into a fight?" Kiros asked calmly. I nodded.
"What about?" Laguna asked.
"He wanted to get me a lawyer, I didn't want him to pay for my lawyer. I told him I don't accept charity…..he said I had wanted to be a whore." I finished in a hoarse whisper.
"That fucking asshole, I never approved of him anyway!" Laguna shouted. My head shot up in surprise, "This is a good thing Seifer isn't good for you, you should find a nice girl." My eyes narrowed.
"What?"
"I said I'm glad you finally left that bastard, you should be with a nice girl."
"I-I can't believe you."
"What's so hard to believe son? Surely you knew your relationship was wrong."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" I stood up, my voice taking on an angered tone, "I thought you understood me. I thought that you'd….
"Of course you'd think that." Laguna finished, "What I can't believe is that you obviously want to stay with that cunt." Even Kiros' eyes widened. This was a side of Laguna I hadn't seen and Kiros only got a glimpse at. I started for the door, but Laguna stood in front of me, stopping me.
"You aren't thinking of going back to him are you?"
"It's none of your business." I replied pushing past him and running out of the house. I didn't know why my supposed father's disapproval hurt so much I hardly knew the man, butIcraved his approval. I decided to go to Selphie, the only person that had always stood behind me.I knew that she could helpme somehow.
I walked all the way to Selphie's apartment not even feeling my legs that were numb from the entire day of running and walking. I knocked on her door leaning against the cool wood for support. The support was suddenly pulled back causing me to stumble and collapse on the floor.
"Oh my god, Squall!" Selphie hurriedly shut the door and kneeled next to me. "What's wrong, what happened…are you okay?" She asked frantically I just groaned. I felt like sleeping and never waking again.
"Irvy! Help me!" Selphie yelled. The cowboy appeared at the doorway looking concerned. He started at the sight ofme laying on the floorand ran to help maneuvermy prone form onto the couch. Selphie left the room and returned a few minutes later with a blanket. Irvine started to unlace my shoes. I sighed and closed my eyes trusting my friends to keep me safe. I didn't even wonder why the cowboy was there. I finally drifted off when a blanket was draped over my body adding warmth and kiss was placed on my forehead.
Irvine's POV
Selphie looked up at me with concern and helplessness. I took her in my arms and looked at Squall lying on our couch passed out.
"I better call Seifer and ask him what the hell he did." I said letting Selphie go and headed for the phone. I dialed the number to Seifer's apartment.
"Hello, Squall?"
"Nope Irvine, but me and Selphie have Squall safe and sound."
"Thank Hyne! I didn't know where any of Squall's friends lived, and I couldn't find him anywhere else! Is he okay?"
"Yeah I think he ran all the way here or something he practically passed out at our door." Selphie interjected.
"Our?" I smiled.
"Well it's beginning to feel like our."
"Happy for you…" Seifer still sounded frantic.
"What happened Seifer, did you two get into a fight?"
"Yeah."
"What did you say to make him like this."
"I'm such a idiot Irvine, I called him a whore. I even said that he actually liked selling himself."
"Good god Seifer what the hell made you say that?"
"He can't afford a lawyer, and I wanted to pay for one. He refused and I got mad."
"Seifer I think you should wait until tomorrow to come over let Squall think and he needs sometime with his friends to reassure himself. You can come pick him up tomorrow afternoon okay?"
"Okay." Seifer said sounded defeated. "I didn't mean it Irvine, I love him."
"I know, and he loves you too. See you later."
"Bye." And with that I hung up the phone and sighed. "Seifer sometimes you really are an idiot."
