Chapter Four--- Bleeding Through

Seifer stared down at the child in shock. Arien must have thought the astonished look on the man's face was funny because he laughed so hard he fell down. Seifer grinned and picked the boy up hugging him close. Arien nestled his head in the crook of Seifer's neck, making it very obvious he intended on going no where.

"Maybe someday, yea?" Seifer whispered, his gaze falling on Fujin who stood laughing with Selphie and Quistis. She turned then, as if she felt his eyes on her and granted him one of those rare, dazzling smiles. Seifer gave hera very small, very soft one, knowing that softness radiated in his eyes, knowing that if he looked at her a second longer, she could see everything he'd tried to hide; the love he refused to admit he felt.

"I'm going to put him in his bed." Seifer called quietly and she nodded, following him.

"I'm capable of putting a child to sleep." He muttered, not minding at all that she had followed him. Fujin grinned.

"We'll see about that. Besides, I'm allowed to tuck my own son in for bed so there." She stuck out her tongue at him, proceeding on tucking Arien in. Seifer watched her with a soft smile, loving how she looked at that moment, kissing Arien's forehead lovingly.

"Goodnight Ari."

"Night mommy! Night Seifer!" Ari turned over and closed his eyes. Fujin grinned at Seifer and closed the door slightly.

"Hey Fujin, we're gonna go get the pizzas, be right back." Selphie and Quistis left and Seifer flopped down onto the couch.

"If you break my couch, your buying me a new one." Seifer raised a brow and yanked her down onto the couch with him.

"My dear Fujin, are you calling me fat?" Fujin laughed and tugged on his ears, just like she used to do when they were young.

"My dear Seifer, of course I am." Seifer found himself lost in her eyes as she sat there, a grin on her rosy lips. She didn't pull away as he closed the gap between them and brought her lips to his. Warmth filled his entire body as he slowly pulled her closer, letting his tongue trace her bottom lip, begging for entrance. Fujin obliged willingly, responding in kind.

How long had it been since she'd felt such warmth and devotion in another's embrace? The kind that warmed her down to her toes? Certainly not with Squall. But here, now with Seifer, she did. She felt wanted and absolutely adored. A feeling that couldn't quite compare with anything else. And she wanted more.

Arien stood from his door watching his mother. A grin spread out on his face. He'd seen other people do that, and they always had funny looks on their faces afterwards. Mommy said it was cause they were in love. And right now, his mother looked like she was absolutely loopy for Uncle Seifer. This was good in his 3 year old mind. Seifer was always there and Arien loved the big blonde like no other.

So, stifling a pleased laugh, Arien crawled back into bed and let his mother fall in love.

However, Arien had no idea what that kiss would lead too. The truth was coming out and if nothing else there was bound to be fireworks.
