Author Comments: Guys, its my first fanfic. I'm trying! I hope its not too rubbish!
Seifer blinked as he opened his eyes. "A fresh morning" he muttered and then surveyed his surroundings.
He waited a few seconds before he could register what he was seeing, and feeling. He felt absolutely knocked for six. His mouth was dry. This was not familiar territory. This wasn't his dormitory.
The sound of a female voice singing had provided him with more clues.
"Where the HELL am I?" Almost spitting out the words, like he wanted to make sure that this was not some kind of dream. Or nightmare.
Pushing the thought to one side, he tossed off the bedspread. "NAKED? NAKED?" He pulled the bedspread back over him as he heard approaching footsteps. Well, maybe this person was the answer to all his questions.
"Good morning, Almasy. I took the liberty of making breakfast" Selphie looked down at the bewildered looking Seifer, and held out a tray with both arms. "Here, you have eggs, and sausages, bacon, toast, hash browns..."
"Se-lph-ie. Uhmm" He groaned, barely understanding himself.
"Yeah, Selphie. Thats me. Now, take this. My arms are killing me." She shoved the tray back into his face.
He reached up, gingerly taking the tray with its contents from her and placed it on his lap. With his head firmly looking toward the floor he managed a quick thanks, and began to eat. Selphie stood watching for a moment, with a stupid smirk written on her face, and then left the room to leave Seifer to his own devices.
He rushed the food, as if it were dangerous and was going to come alive at any moment. His mind raced, taking chicanes and corners like nobody's business. A multitude of thoughts were jamming up his head and he felt like exploding, but instead he placed the now empty tray and plate on the floor.
"Clothes" He suddenly spoke. "I need my clothes. But...where are they." Looking around, he found nothing in his line of vision.
"CRAP. I need to get Selphie to come in here, fetch me my clothes and tell me what the hell happened, without me sounding like a complete loser" Seifer was beginning to grow a little agitated.
He scanned the room once more. "Hmm..." he mumbled. "Empty tray, empty plate, no cup..." thinking to himself that was the perfect way out. After all, he had a rep to live up to.
"TILMITT...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? DO I GET A DRINK OR NOT?" He shouted, hoping that this would elicit a response.
"SORRRRREEEEEEEEE" She shouted back, poured him a coffee from the coffee machine and brought it in, handing it to him.
"Bout time, messenger girl." Seifer snorted and relieved her of the full cup.
"Yeah, yeah. All talk..." She retorted, her nostrils flaring a little because of her sudden annoyance.
He took a sip from the coffee cup. "I reckon I'll get up and let you to your business. Er...where'd I leave my stuff again." He asked, sneakily.
"There". She pointed to a chair that Seifer hadn't noticed and they were piled up on there.
"Good." He replied, noting that the clothes were not neatly folded as he did himself, but strewn over the chair. Selphie picked up on this.
"Memories coming back now, Seif. What fun we had on that chair, hm?" She grinned at him, knowingly.
He arched an eyebrow. "We did? We did. Yeah." He incoherently muttered back at her but she managed to understand.
"Oh yeah, and it was fun. But the best part was OVER the chair, Seifer. You were SO good. Mindblowing."
He failed to reply. He just managed a weak smirk, and twitched his bottom lip a little.
"Infact..." She removed a strap from her top down her arm, "I want to do it again..." She looked him in the eye, "...On the balcony...NOW."
Raising his eyebrow high enough for his scar to itch he wondered if he should just call her bluff, and get out of bed completely naked. Full glory showing. Instead, in a rare moment of vunerability he merely exclaimed "Hooooo...mmmmmph" He was totally disorientated now.
She laughed out loud. "Oh don't flatter yourself, Seifer. I was just kidding. But we did have a lot of fun last night. We trained, and trained some more then we went out to the city and had a lot of drinks in a lot of bars. But it was real fun, the most I've had EVER."
"We did?" He asked, feeling slighly more than slightly embarrassed.
"Yeah. We did." She replied. "You'll remember it once the the effects of that Moonshine wear off. But for now, get up, get showered and dressed. We have a mission today. Hurry"
"Alright. So, we never...did anything?" He asked her, wanting to clarify it.
"Not in that sense, Seifer darling. NOW HURRY".
She left the room and closed the door behind her. Seifer once more watching her go. He shook his head at it all, relieved.
But the contrasting feeling of disappointment would not shake.
