Everybody thank Eoko for inspiring me to add more chapters. Luckily, they are not how she thought they would be (because that just spoils a story), so you'll have to read on. You are two chapters away from actual Yaoi.

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters; don't wish to own them, either. I just like playing with them a lot. See, I take my Seifer doll and have him standing by the ocean, and then my Zell doll comes up and asks what's wrong, and then they kiss and have sex. That's a happy ending right there, and I wish Square (whatever) would have used it.

Warnings: I'm trying to not make the chapters feel rushed. I've got some down time this semester (having graduated) but I'm going to Japan for a year in March. I probably won't update while there, though I may continue to write. I'm trying to pour this all out of my head so I can focus.

On with the fic.

Raijin had picked up on it before she had, and that's what made Fujin mad. She'd seen the way Seifer had always looked at Zell, knew enough of Seifer's personality to know Zell fit him well, some one with the energy and stamina, and somebody to look after when Zell wasn't thinking. She'd seen the way Seifer writhed at night, gasping Zell's name in the tent the three had shared. She'd picked up on the way Seifer's entire pose showed dominance whenever the little blonde was around. Even if Seifer hadn't noticed it, she certainly had. It was animal instinct to look attractive towards whoever you liked, right?

Raijin had known Seifer was using Zell, and worse (for her rep), Raijin had realized Zell loved Seifer. She'd kicked herself for that one, after she kicked Raijin a few times. She was too busy looking out for her own friend she hadn't noticed how Zell had also tried to look appealing. She hadn't noticed how Zell made sure Seifer saw him, how he always backed off in the end, giving Seifer what he wanted. The way he held up his head a little too high so Seifer could attack Zell's neck with his mouth; the way Zell's back arched when Seifer had him pinned to a wall for running and handed Zell a ticket. Zell was being submissive. Not a submissive type, Fujin reminded herself, but a compliment to what Seifer needed. She'd seen Zell almost reach out to the bully when Seifer had cried one summer, because Seifer was all alone.

Seifer and Zell were about as obviously meant to be together as conjoined twins.

Yet Seifer was going to use Zell in the worst possible way. Raijin had told her that night and Fujin knew there was nothing- nothing- she could have done about it. Seifer would come to her later this day with an empty face and pretend to be strong, even joke about what he had done, and then he'd sit and stare at the tea and wonder to himself why he felt so badly, why he was puking again. He only puked that violently when he thought of Ultimacia, when he thought he was being as manipulative as she was.

Fujin kicked the fridge as she got out the milk. Seifer was an idiot. It was nice to choose friendship over love, but Fujin knew that Seifer was lying to himself. He'd used somebody. Like he had before, like he had in the war and when they'd look up at him he'd laugh, and later on he'd vomit into the tub or toilet and Raijin and Fujin would be there, comforting him. He'd stopped puking lately, and that was their problem. When he stopped feeling guilty, they knew something was horribly wrong.

The tea was set. There was no knock. Seifer would come to her, she knew, but her patience was wearing thin. She wasn't going to wait for him to come several hours later, or take a chance that Seifer would come up this early.

She stood up and opened the door. "SEIFER ROOM," she stated, and Raijin nodded, stealing a tea and watching the telly, knowing Fujin would better handle this. She always did. Besides, he might do something…like molest the sleeping fighter. At least, he thought Zell was sleeping at five a.m.

Fujin managed to fly down the stairs to Seifer's door. She knocked repeatedly, trying to listen for voices. Instead, there was a TV that shut off and footsteps to the door. It opened, a sleep-deprived Seifer with messed up hair greeting her. "Hey, Fujin," he stated, opening the door wider. Fujin wished she had brought some tea to wake him up. "Shh, he's sleeping. Come on in."

The albino did just that, noting how Seifer shut the door and then looked at the room, walking to the entrance of his bedroom. She noted how he looked a little too long at the sleeping blonde, who, after she peeped in herself, was petting the covers looking for a person who was supposed to be there. Seifer went in the room, leaning over the sleeper and kissing him, giving an explanation. "Fujin's here, Zell. I'll come back later."

Zell gave a whine and held onto Seifer's arm possessively, enough to leave a bruise. Seifer's eyes saddened and he touched the hand gently. Zell sighed and fell back to sleep, murmuring some nonsense to either ears listening.

Seifer exited, shutting the door and motioning for the kitchen. He got out several teabags. "Would you like some?"

"No," Fujin stated, her eye narrowing. Seifer nodded and made one for himself, knowing why she was here. Fujin decided to speak normally for emphasis. "How does he make you feel, Seifer?" Her voice held concern.

Seifer gave a saddened chuckle as he poured hot water in a mug, placing the cheap tea-bag in the water. He sat down, swishing the bag round. "Nothing. He's just a tool."

Fujin promptly kicked him. "Don't lie to me, Seifer."

Seifer winced and stopped swishing. "Don't, Fujin. I'm going to turn him in. I can't afford to fall in love now."

Fujin hit him this time, square across the jaw. "You didn't fall in love now," she stated. "You didn't fall in love over these few days. Squall is coming tomorrow, right? With our announcement to the gang?"

Seifer shook his head. "Fujin, you're free today. I give up Zell, and you and Raijin can live a normal life. Happily." He gave a small smile.

"We don't want to be free at your expense," Fujin responded. "And you haven't answered my question." She glared at him, kicking him when he didn't give an answer. Seifer bit the mug from surprise, then gave a whine.

"Owww." He glared at the albino, who glared back. Sighing, he brushed back his hair, a nervous habit that developed, once again, due to Zell. "He's beautiful, Fujin. I wake up next to him and he reminds me of an angel. He reminds me of…" Seifer paused, trying not to cry.

"How things could have been," she answered for him. "Raijin and I, we don't want you to give that up, Seifer."

"It's too late," Seifer murmured, and Fujin cocked her head. Seifer realized what he had said and shook his head. "No, I mean, Zell's already turned in. They've got patrols keeping us in here, remember?"

Fujin raised her eyebrow. "Seifer, don't give me this hopelessness. You commanded an army. You aren't this helpless." She paused. "You aren't telling me something."

There was no doubt about it, Seifer wasn't meeting her eyes. "I'll try, Fujin. Meet me at eight on the roof."

Fujin nodded, getting up. She walked to the exit, stealing a scribbled-down SeeD number as she left. Seifer closed the door, trying desperately not to cry. Fujin would find out soon enough what he was hiding, though she was right. He needed Zell out, now, before he turned Zell in.

His stomach stopped hurting as he thought of a plan. He'd see what Zell had junctioned, and hopefully, stop or slow the guards. He got backpacks together for the two of them, with bread and water and clothes.

Two hours later, he opened the door and looked in. Zell was sleeping gently, holding a pillow to his chest in place of Seifer. Zell looked absolutely adorable in the darkness.

Seifer flicked on the light nonchalantly. As the light hit his eyes Zell gave a sharp moan- too tired for a yell- and moved the pillow to hit his eyes. "Hey, beautiful." Beautiful was right, he noted. The covers had managed to fall so low his boxers were being shown. Boxers that were too big, he noted, almost falling off… he wiped the drool away from his mouth.

Sneakily, he crawled over to the foot of the bed, suddenly climbing on top of the other blonde. He pressed his lips to Zell's naked chest, kissing up and down it. Zell giggled in response. "That tickles."

"Does it?" Seifer murmured, licking under his ribs gently, and Zell nodded, taking off the pillow. He looked at Seifer with half-lidded eyes, almost as if Seifer was going to please him.

"You look happy," Zell mumbled and Seifer licked him some more, getting more giggles in the process. Seifer stopped and moved to Zell's neck, just nuzzling him. Zell wrapped his arms around the taller blonde in the process.

"You need to get up, Zell," Seifer whispered in his ear. "And you need to get junctioned."

Zell sat up quite quickly, staring at him incredulously. "J-Junctioned? What?"

Seifer responded by kissing Zell's mouth quite passionately, pinning Zell back into the bed and pulling away just as quickly. Zell was breathless. Hyne, this kind of foreplay could have been used last night!

Seifer stroked his tattoo gently. "We're going to fight our way out, Chicken. I need you to use magic."

Zell groaned. "With the hard-on you've given me I doubt I can walk, let alone fight." He paused for emphasis as Seifer played with his boxers. "That really helps."

Seifer grinned, sending a shiver of anticipation down Zell's spine. "I can take care of this, if that's all right," he whispered, lightly rubbing Zell through his boxers.

Panting, Zell gave his response. "Fuck yes," he stated as quickly as he possibly could. Seifer scooted on him, leveling his mouth with Zell's ear to whisper into it. His hands stopped.

"If you don't get up, Chicken, something drastic will happen," he murmured, and his hands took Zell's wrists and pinned them to the bed. Zell swallowed, too awed to say anything. He just nodded slightly. Seifer continued.

"Like…for instance, you might be a fuck-slave," Seifer stated, and Zell whimpered. He could live with being Seifer's fuck-slave. It was what he'd been dreaming about.

"To the boss's tiny, wrinkled penis that shoots out green puss from whatever 80 STDs that suckers got."

Zell's face showed obvious disgust and Seifer laughed, getting up and giving Zell a quick kiss before escaping into the living room. "You had better run, Almasy!" Zell yelled, quivering at the image. Well, Seifer had gotten rid of his problem, to say the least.

Seifer peeped back in, looking at the blonde as his eyes unfocused, communicating with his GF. Seifer wasn't sure who it was, but knew Zell carried some really powerful ones. He smiled softly and returned to what he was doing.

Zell had finished junctioning stats, so he pulled on his shorts. It was only after he placed on his shoes (the shirt could wait, besides, he owed Seifer) when he heard a racket from upstairs and a knock on their door. Zell pulled on his shirt quickly as it opened.

"Run!" Seifer's voice shouted, and there was a sound of glass breaking. Someone had punched Seifer. Zell casted haste and he attempted to move to the window. Someone cancelled it instantly.

A gun met his neck as an arm met his side. He froze, trying to listen as he heard a cold, amused whisper. "You haven't even said goodbye, beautiful."

The boss, J-ran(1) owned that voice. Zell swallowed as he tried to think of a spell that wouldn't hit Zell as well, but none came to mind. J-ran led him out the door and into the hall. Seifer was bleeding, having been thrown into the TV.

"Seifer!" Zell called, and Seifer avoided his gaze. Fujin and Raijin were brought down, Fujin quite angry. In fact, both men escorting her were limping and had black eyes.

"LIAR!" Fujin shouted at Seifer, kicking him as hard as she could in his right leg. There was a crack and Seifer winced, not looking at her, either. Zell stood, confused.

"Now, now," J-ran stated. "Seifer here joined us to set you two free. You could be nice to him."

Zell felt a shock. "Seifer?" he asked, quietly. Fujin punched the said blonde, who fell back into the broken TV.

"Fujin, Fujin," the boss stated, and Fujin spun, eyes falling sadly upon Zell before J-ran cast slow. "You're upset for the wrong reason. You see, it was Seifer's mission to capture Zell, not the fact that he'd turn Zell in to get you two free. See, he made this decision about three days ago. I gave him a mission to capture beautiful here," at this point, J-ran paused to kiss Zell lightly on the forehead and Zell looked to Seifer for help. "and he delivered, though I'm seeing he had some second thoughts." J-ran's voice darkened.

Raijin stood next to her, looking down at the broken ex-knight. "Seifer…" he said sadly.

"It had to be done," Seifer snapped, getting up. "Both of you, get out, and stop feeling sorry for me." Raijin resisted throwing a punch. A member of the gang then cast esuna on Fujin. Fujin kicked Seifer again, causing his collapse and the two walked out, angrily. Fujin did pause to kick one of the black-eyed men in the groin, and it was safe to say he never had children.

Zell had said nothing of relative importance this entire time, but now he sprung to life, a sick heavy question on his mind. The gun pressed closer to his neck, and Zell decided to save his spells for an escape.

"Sometimes you surprise me, Seifer," J-ran said. "You did, however, tell Zell to run, and you will be punished for that. You know who to follow."

Seifer was led away and Zell felt his heart break. Seifer betrayed him. Seifer used him. Seifer never loved him. He'd been stupid to believe such a thing.

"You are sooo cute, you little readable thing," J-ran stated, watching his face. "You're crushed. I be he was real nice to you."

"Get off me," Zell hissed. "Get your hands off me."

The boss laughed, kissing Zell lightly again. "When I found him, he was delusional. Kept calling out names, trying to find people."

Zell shook his head, not wanting to hear. The boss continued, and Zell was trying to ignore how J-ran was forcing them to stand close together. "He called out your name, enough to make me inquire. He told me you were his beautiful, so I had to meet you." The boss motioned for everybody to clear out of the apartment. The apartment door shut, and Zell was led to the car.

(1) I've never done these odd things before. Huh. No, I wanted you all to know the Boss did not have a name until I re-wrote this chapter. He was simply going to be known as "The Boss". What glee.

Yay! Thank you all for reviewing. I hope to continue this with more chapters and much more frequent updates. Look for new stories, too!
