"Anyway," Caine started, "It's about five now, I was thinking we could all go out an get sit at some restaurant to have dinner."

Seifer beamed, "Great idea!"

"Okay, bye…I'm going to miss you guys greatly…maybe shed a tear or two for your benefit." Squall muttered, standing by the door, hands on his hips.

"Aha, I was thinking you would say that so I decided to let you come along."

"Please don't insist." Squall growled, giving Caine and annoyed expression.

"Oh, but I do." Seifer walked over to the brunet, "Please…as a punishment for teasing me today."

"Teasing?" Caine's eyes were wide, "Squall teased?"

"Yup…" Seifer winked at Squall and walked out of the room, "Last one to get ready is a rotten egg."

Caine walked out after the blonde to give Squall some privacy to change.

"I don't want to go anywhere!" the brunet wailed, but he was ignored. Shutting the door soundly, he turned and pulled out a pair of faded jeans and shirt.

Why the hell am I going again?

Squall walked into the bathroom and discarded his clothes, stepping into the tub.

Because you like being around Seifer.

I do not! I'm just hungry.

Hungry my ass…you can just make yourself a sandwich.

Wouldn't be that yummy…comon!

Aha…wouldn't be good cuz Seifer won't be there to eat it with you…--

No way! Who ever said I give a shit about the blonde! He's Stupid and totally unfit for me!

Really? I would say the total opposite, seeing you actually smile when you are around him.

Ha! I'm not the only one! Even father says I have mourned enough!

Upon realizing that logic, Squall turned on the water pretty cold and stepped into it, gasping as it came in contact with his heated skin.

It was enough he had actually checked the blonde out to even know the man's weakness.

He's jealous over you and you like it.

Screw you! I just…I don't like it…that is nonsense…

Oh yes you do…

What the fuck! A third voice…

Comon, Squall…it feels nice to have someone care about you that way again. Someone who doesn't hate you for who you are but rather understands what you are going through. Besides, he does make you happy inside even if you pretend to be all stoic.

You know what! Shut up, I'm going out to eat dinner…sing some song or something for me till I get ready.

You gonna primp for that blonde.

Great idea!

"Shut up!" Squall snapped. He had finished showering and was glaring at his reflection in the mirror. Since when did he let his inner voices sound their opinions?

Since you learned to live again…since you met Seifer…

Squall rolled his eyes and dried himself, then put on his clothes. Without even brushing his wet hair, the brunet walked out of the room, all set and ready.

"Looking hot, pretty face." Seifer grinned, appreciating the way the burnet looked in tight pants and an oversized, full-sleeved shirt. The first two buttons weren't fastened, leaving ample view of a milky neck and chest.

"Can't say the same about you." The brunet muttered, trying his best to ignore how good the blonde looked.

That man just had taste. He wore an emerald-colored shirt that enhanced the beauty of his jade eyes and a pair of sea-green faded jeans to match it.

Caine rolled his eyes, it was really funny how things were progressing, and real slow when it came to the blonde. Seifer and Caine had been friends since almost ever, and if he knew Seifer better he would say the blonde actually cared about more than just sex with a hot brunet. Seifer had never been like that before. He was even known as a womanizer…sex tonight forget you tomorrow…that was his motto. But Caine knew it was different with Squall. The way the blonde would get a dreamy look in his eyes when he looked Squall's way…Caine observed the pair, noticing Squall's heated cheeks and Seifer's adoring gaze.

"Anyway, guys, I was planning on going sometime today."

Seifer rolled his eyes at Caine's superior tone, "You're driving."

"Sure."

"I'll sit at the back with Squall."

"Like hell, I would rather sit on the roof of the car than beside you!" Squall snapped.

Lair…

Shut up. I wasn't asking you.

Do you have the hots for him?

I am so not hearing this…

Look, he's even blushing like a virgin girl…

"Let's go already!" Squall gritted his teeth, trying to ignore his internal musings which threatened to take over his mind.

"Great! It's settled…" Seifer strode out after the blonde, watching the way the brunet's hips sashayed with his fluid motions.

"Seifer." Caine whispered.

"Huh?" Seifer frowned then turned to his friend.

"You're drooling again."
