Hidden Ambitions and Secret Loves.

ch.2.

Thanks to some helpful advice from one of my readers I'm going to try a different approach at this chapter! you know who you are...so..THANKS!

'we're finally alone together..but..geez..how can he be so hyper? he must be permanantly wired or something ...maybe his mom drank a bunch of energy drinks when she was pregnant...'Irvien thought with a quiet laugh. He looked ahead of him, realizing that he had fallen behind as Zell continued to run as fast as he could.

"Hey, Zell! why don't you chill for a bit!"He called, leaning against a jagged wall of rock that stood far taller then any buildings around.

Zell stopped, turned around, laughed at Irvine, and ran to Irvine's side.

"You take alot of breaks...whats with you? can't you TRY to keep up with me?"Zell looked up as if he thought there would be something interesting at the peak of the mountain. "we should climb this..."he said thoughtfully.

"have fun..."Irvine said smirking, stretching against the cool surface behind him.

"lazy.."Zell muttered darkly. He turned away from Irvine, crossing his arms in front of him.

"aww..come on, Zell..don't be that way.."Irvine pushed away from the rocks, draping his arms around Zell's shoulders with a soft smile.

"get off..."Zell shrugged his shoulders causing Irvine to step back with a hurt expression.

"Zell? whats wrong?"Irvine grabbed Zell's shoulders and turned him around.

Zell looked to the ground quickly, hidding the fact that he was smiling.

"Zell, tell me whats wrong."Irvine demanded sharply.

'I should use this against him...oh how fun this could be!'Zell gave an inward laugh before looking up at Irvine with a sad, teary look."y-you really d-don't want to be with me..."

Irvine's eyes widened as he looked down at Zell."Why do you think that, Zell?"Irvine asked softly, letting his hands slip from Zell's shoulders.

"because you...you won't come with me..."Zell nearly started laughing as Irvine began to look genuinly confused.

"what do you mean?"Irvine asked, tilting his head to the side.

"I want to go climbing...please Irvine?"Zell sniffled and pouted as he looked up at Irvine.

"Zell..no means no. lets just go to the hot-spring. You can climb around on the rocks over there"Irvine shook his head and began walking back towards said hot-spring.

Zell's mouth fell open as he watched Irvine walk away. "y-you JERK!"Zell yelled before he ran and tackled Irvine.

They both fell to the ground, Zell pinning Irvine to the ground while Irvine growled about his jacket getting dirty.

"see what happens when you say 'no' to me?"Zell asked with a dark smirk and an evil laugh.

"uhm...yea. maybe i'll have to go against you more often..."Irvine smiled innocently and pulled Zell down over him-self, slowly leaning up and kissing him lightly.

'Well isnt' that interesting...he's turned the tables on me once again..'Zell thought to him-self as he relaxed into their kiss.

They pulled apart a few seconds later, though for them it seemed like much longer.

"so...to the hot-springs?"Zell asked excitedly. He smiled brightly and ran the rest of the way to the hot-springs, litterally pulling Irvine behind him.

"well at least your not pouting anymore.."Irvine said, laughing just before he tripped on a rock in front of the water and fell in, head first.

A loud 'splash' followed Irvine's gasp before Zell started giggling loudly.

"Nice one, cow-boy!"Zell said, trying to stop his laughing.

"shut-up, Zell..."Irvine muttered, standing up and pulling off his trench-coat and hat.

Once Irvine's wet coat hit the ground Zell pulled off his shirt, socks, and shoes, Smiling slightly.

Irvine chuckled lightly, tossing his boots, which were also soaked, out onto the rocks.

Zell jumped into the water, splashing Irvine in the process. "Ah! Now I see why they call it a 'HOT'spring"he said with a quiet laugh.

Irvine turned towards Zell with a dark smirk before he stepped towards the blond. "now that we're here...we don't have to worry about how long we spend here, right?"He asked in a rough whisper.

Zell blushed lightly, backing up against the cool rocks behind him. "u-uhm...I..guess so..w-why?"he asked shakilly as his cerulean eyes sparkled brightly.

"oh..I have plans for us tonight, Zell...great plans.."Irvine said, licking his lips and stepping right in front of Zell, leaning close to him with a devilish grin.
