"You sure know how to throw a party." Gavin laughed as they sat in the newly renovated castle, shouting above the music to be heard.
Seifer nodded and laughed as a young girl asked him to dance. Elisa was looking healthy and fresh, dancing or talking. Even Dran was running around, wagging his tail and stealing food from unguarded plates.
Squall smiled at the villagers, who stopped to pat his back and thank him. Even though Seifer was dancing around with the children, his eyes never left the brunet's face. There was a content smile etched on the beautiful features of his lover.
Many girls gave him roses and flower necklaces and the brunet gladly accepted them, winking at some or sharing a joke with some. Seifer stopped dancing and walked over to him, "You know…all those girls fawning over you are sure making me jealous."
Squall rubbed his nape in a shy manner and shrugged, "You know I don't really like any of them…they're just showing their appreciation."
"Aha."
"You know I could decline the rest of the gifts, but the way that girl over there is looking at you sure does get on my nerves." Squall grumbled.
"What girl?" Seifer smiled, knowing the brunet was getting jealous.
"The one with stupid golden hair like yours."
Seifer laughed, cupping Squall's nape and pulling him in for a searing kiss.
Squall glared, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"That would surely send her running to her mum."
The brunet grinned, "I see…"
Gavin came in between the lovers, "Well, well…you turning this cool party into a hot one?"
Seifer burst out laughing and Squall blushed furiously.
"I'm coming with you." Squall whispered in Seifer's arms.
"What about your kingdom?"
"Gavin is taking over."
Seifer smiled and nibbled on the brunet's ear, "Are you sure?"
"He's a great guy and is better fit to be king than me."
Squall shivered slightly.
"And what about you? What are you better fit to be?"
Squall closed his eyes, "You know… I hated the snow because I lost my memories lying there on it."
Seifer nodded.
"But somehow with you, the snow doesn't seem to be as cold."
The blond smiled, "But what are you better fit to be?"
"Leon, of course." Squall chuckled.
Seifer frowned, "You are serious?"
The brunet laughed and pulled Seifer closer to whisper something that earned him a kiss from his lover…
Your lover…
