A/N: Thanks very much to all my reviewers! I very much appreciate the help and support you've given this story. And I'm glad that I have kept you all interested in my story.
This will be starting off from where I left it the last chapter. Now, this is the end of the story... unless you want me to continue with this one. If I don't answer some for your questions in this chapter, I will do hat in the sequel. I don't know. A love scene won't be in this chapter. Sorry. It will have one, though, eventually. Okay? Just thought you should know. Even if I did complete this one, I'd still want to do some sequel. I just seems fun. Anyway, I'll try and cover up what what's left unanswered.
Whoever would like a sequel, however, if you have anything you would like to see in it, please feel free to let me know. I'm always open for idea and suggestions. And they are very much welcome and appreciated.
Please enjoy!

Chapter 10
"Seifer?" Squall asked after they went to Squall's room. Squall had felt like they needed to talk a little, so he had asked Seifer if they could go to this room. Plus, he had some questions he would like to ask him. After witnessing what he did, Squall felt that he needed to know what had been going on with him and Devon. Well, Squall suspected that Devon was no good, and Seifer was too good for him. But, damn, he can't believe he never noticed.
Squall mentally cursed himself for being this oblivious towards what had been going on right under him. Well, he was glad that he decided to listen in on the conversation they were having. Fucking Devon! Squall mentally hissed.
"Squall, I-"
"Are you okay, Seifer?" Squall cut him off when he spoke,, seeing Seifer a little shaken up, though barely noticeable.
"I'm fine, Squall," he said with a nod, though he didn't look all that okay. Well, truth was, Seifer was all right, but of course he was shaken up; he just broke up with Devon, who didn't take it well. On the other hand, Seifer was glad that he finally had the courage to do it. Breaking up with him was a thought that took over Seifer's mind a lot, but had never done it, thinking Devon was the only one who would have him, since no one else seemed to. He released a breath he had been holding and looked at Squall, smiling slightly.
"No you're not," Squall input, still seeing Seifer shaking a little.
"Seriously, I'm all right."
"So, wanna tell me what the hell that was?"
"No, not really. It's pretty self explanatory."
Squall shook his head. No matter if Seifer wanted to talk about it or not, Squall wanted to know what the hell was going on. Dammit, he was going to question Seifer. Devon—it would appear had been abusing Seifer, and he wanted to find out the truth. Seifer had not told anyone anything since he'd been with Devon—hell, they didn't even hang around each other much because of the dumb ass. So, now was his chance to talk to him—find out what's going on with him and Devon.
"Tell me about Devon, Seifer," Squall commanded softly, with no real order to it. He didn't want to make Seifer just blurt it all—Squall knows it's gotta be hard for him, so he'll let him take his time. He was just looking for answers.
The tall blond sighed, rubbing a hand between his brows. "I... I don't know where to start."
"Well, you just broke up with Devon. Start with that," that shorter man suggested.
"Okay," Seifer sighed. "Well, I broke up with him because I couldn't take being with him anymore."
"Seifer, what's been going on with you and Devon, exactly?" he inquired softly.
"Um, well..." Seifer paused, not knowing if he should say it or not, although Squall caught him this time. He guessed there was no way out of it. But what would Squall think of him when he tells him? He'd most likely be disgusted and want to have nothing to do with him anymore. He He bit his lip as he thought.
"Wait. When you said you got hurt falling down, and dislocated your shoulder, that was... Devon," Squall stated more than asked, already suspecting what the answer might be. Honestly, he didn't believe it was from a fall, even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened.
Seifer nodded, slowly. "Yes."
"And the other times you got hurt, they weren't from the training center, were they?"
"Not all of them, no," the blond shook his head, hating to admit this to the one person whom he didn't want to look down on him. Well, it was too late now; it's all out there for Squall now. There was no use hiding it, especially since Squall saw what he did.
"Let me get this strait, Devon was abusing you," Squall concluded, looking very pissed off now that he knew what had happened to his Seifer. See? He should've fucking killed him. "I'll kill him."
"No! I... I don't want you to do anything, Squall. It's really—I'm fine. Okay? Don't go do something you'll regret."
Squall scoffed. "I assure you, ridding that asshole would do us all good. I wouldn't regret anything. He had no right doing what he did to you," Squall hissed out, fists clenched tight.
"I'm fine. Please don't do anything. I broke up with him. Just leave it. I'm not worth it," Seifer said firmly.
Squall shook his head an frowned. "You are worth it, Seifer."
Seifer smiled at him slightly.
"All right. Well, why didn't you stop it when it was going on to begin with?" was his next question, wanting to get all out of Seifer that he could.
Seifer shrugged. "I—well, he was there for me. He was the only one who noticed me, Squall. Plus, he said he loved me. And I wasn't sure if I wanted to give all of that up."
Squall didn't understand. No one wanted him but Devon? That was crazy. Didn't Seifer see what was right in front of him? Love? That is not love—at least not the healthy kind of love. You didn't't abuse the ones you love. He looked over at the sexy blond who was looking down, pointedly avoiding his gaze. That was not true. Squall wanted him, Squall noticed him. Why didn't Seifer see that? Well, Squall wasn't exactly open about it, plus, he didn't really show it like he should have.
"Seifer, that's not true," Squall told him, lifting Seifer's face to look him in the eyes. "What Devon was doing wasn't love; he's an ass, Seifer. You deserve better than him."
"Squall," Seifer stared at him, not knowing what to say to that.
"let me ask you this; do you love him?"
"No," Seifer answered. "I... I thought I did, but I don't."
Squall breathed a sigh of relief, glad to hear him say he didn't. "Then, why were you with him for this long? Why did you go through all that. Also, why didn't you say anything to me about what was he doing?"
"I couldn't. I mean, Squall, how would it look to know that Seifer Almasy let someone manhandle him?"
"Look, Seifer. I-"
"Yeah, I know. You're disgusted by me now, huh? I knew you would be. I never wanted to tell you because I didn't want you to think lowly of me." There it was. Seifer said what he had be thinking inside his head, letting it pour out. "I care too much of your opinion on me, and I didn't want you to think I was weak for letting Devon do this to me."
Squall blinked. Had he heard right? Seifer thought very highly on his opinion, did he? Surely Seifer knew that Squall would never do that. Squall didn't think differently of him. He was still Seifer, the one he liked. "I'm not disgusted by you, Seifer."
Seifer's head snapped over to him. "Y-you're not?"
"No. Why would I be? You're still you," Squall smiled at him. "Why do you care what I think, anyway?"
"I always have. You're opinion matters a lot to me. And I don't want you to think badly of me. I couldn't handle that. Not from you."
"Seifer... I didn't know."
"It's alright," he waved it off.
"You still should have said something. Seifer, we're friends; you should have known I wouldn't think badly of you."
"Sorry. I-"
"Don't apologize," the brunet said. "Oh, Devon wasn't the only one who noticed you, Seifer." Squall wanted to open up to Seifer—tell him his feelings. Seifer was opening up, so Squall decided to just tell him and see what he would say. Oh, there were many times where he just wanted to blurt it out, but he always held himself back from doing so. Now was his chance, since Devon wasn't going to be in his life anymore.
"W-what? What are you talking about?" the taller man questioned, honestly very curious at Squall's words. What was he talking about? Seifer had never noticed anyone else looking at him, showing him they want him.
"Well," Squall smirked at his sputtering, and decided since he wasn't good with words, he'd let his lips answer for him. So, without further words, Squall leaned in, placing a soft kiss on Seifer's lips, causing the latter to gasp in surprise from the sudden, yet good kiss.
Slowly, Seifer started responding to the kiss,, liking how Squall's lips tasted. Squall pulled back after a couple of seconds, and they were both breathless.
"What was... that for?"
"I like you," and it was such a simple thing to say.
Seifer gave him a look. "Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"Well, I don't know," the shorter gunbadist sighed. "I just never could. Mostly because I didn't think you liked me that way."
"Squall, I don't know what to say."
"It's fine," he smiled. "I don't expect anything out of you-"
"Squall, there was someone else that I liked; it was you," Seifer said with a smile. Yeah, he had been feeling this way for Squall—he just didn't think Squall would—or could ever love him.
"We are idiots," Squall pointed out with a chuckle. "We could have saved us from having to go through all this if we had said it earlier. Though, I'm kind surprised. I didn't think you did. But... I'm glad you do."
Seifer also chuckled, but went quiet and nodded. "So, where does that leave us now?"
"Well, we could start out..."
"You mean... be together?" Oh, Seifer did want that, but- "Squall, I want to-"
"It's Devon, isn't it? What the hell did he do to you?"
"Oh, well, he, uh, would hit me, curse at me, call me names. He also..."
"I get it, Seifer," Squall stopped him from saying more. All he was succeeding in doing was making Squall want to kill him more and more. "We'll go slow. All right?"
Seifer nodded, and sighed contentedly when Squall wrapped his arms around his waist and placed a kiss on his lips, which he melted into immediately. He always wondered what kissing Squall would be like, and it felt fan-fucking-tastic. It was different than Devon's kisses, which were rough, and demeaning. Squall's kiss was more gentle and sweet, none of the dominating shit that Devon did. His were too controlling. Squall's wasn't. Devon was also forceful, but Squall was going slow.
Yeah, Seifer loved demanding, forceful kisses, but not that way Devon would do it.
They pulled apart for some air and smiled at each other. "So, does this mean we're... boyfriends now?" Seifer asked, a very noticeable blush on his tanned cheeks.
"Yes. Are you okay with that?"
"Yeah." Seifer hugged him close.
"Hm, so I was right. He was trying to keep you away from me," Squall concluded with a roll of his eyes.
"Yeah, and that was the main reason he... well... you know? But, I couldn't stay away from you," Seifer scoffed. "Who else would kick your ass in the training center during out spars?"
Squall scowled. "Bastard. I can kick your ass.
"Uh huh. Whatever get's you through the day, Squally-boy." Seifer yelped when Squall pinched him hard.
"Like hell you could kick my ass."
Now, this was what Squall liked. Seifer was himself again, and they were having their banter. This was what they both enjoyed. They just enjoyed each others company so much. This was the beginning of a new relationship.
