DBF: Hi all! Yay! A third chapter on my third day of writing this story! I don't own anything! Now on with the story!
DISTANT DREAMS
Everyone walked into Quistis's classroom.
"Where's Zell?" Quistis questioned.
"Oh you mean that coward isn't here yet!" Ozumi said.
"Well…You see he kind of lagged behind…" Selphie said.
"Well someone has to go and get him!" Quistis said. Everyone directed their attention to
Squall.
"…Whatever…" Squall growled as he stomped off.
"Well he's certainly cheery isn't he…" Selphie said.
Squall walked through the hallway. He spotted Irvine, who was still knocked out, and smirked. Squall walked passed Irvine and started looking for Zell.
"Zell?" Squall questioned outloud. 'Come on…Where are you…I have better ways of wasting my time…' he thought silently. When Squall didn't find Zell inside he walked towards the entrance to Balamb. Sure enough he found Zell sitting against the gate. Zell was in a position where he was hugging his legs close. He was shaking a little bit.
"Huh?" Squall said. He walked up to Zell. "Hey Zell…" Zell didn't answer. Squall sighed and sat down next to Zell. Squall could now hear Zell crying. "Hmmm…" he said. "Zell?"
"…Go…Away…" Zell said. His voice was a little shaky. Squall sighed.
'I am gonna regret this!' Squall thought silently. He slipped h is arm around Zell's shoulders. Zell sniffed and leaned on Squall's shoulder. "Shh…It's okay…" Squall said. Zell bit his lower lip and took a deep breath.
"Squall?" Zell said.
"Yes?" Squall said.
"…Y…You don't think…I'm…a waste of a…body…Do you?" Zell asked.
"…Course not…" Squall said.
"…Do you really mean it…Or are you just saying it?" Zell asked.
"Actually…I don't know…but…Don't let Ozumi bother you…just ignore him…He's a stupid fag and doesn't know what he's talking about…got it?" Squall said. Zell sniffed, looked up at Squall, and nodded.
"Mmmm…Hmmm…" he said with a little laugh. Squall lightly punched Zell on the shoulder.
"C'mon…Let's get back…" Squall said. Zell nodded.
"Oh…and Squall?" Zell said.
"Yes?" Squall said as he helped Zell up.
"Can you not tell anyone about this?" Zell asked.
"So as long as you don't tell anyone!" Squall said.
"It's a deal!" Zell said. They both shook on it. Squall and Zell walked back to class.
"Oh good! There you are Zell! We were getting worried!" Quistis said.
"Ha! I wasn't worried!" Ozumi said.
"Kei, Can't you show even a little compassion?" Selphie asked. Ozumi rolled his eyes.
"For this baka…No way!" he said. Zell clenched his fists toghther. Squall leaned towards him and whispered in his ear.
"Remember don't let him get to you…" Squall said. Zell nodded.
"You know Ozumi, I'm not afraid of you!" Zell said.
"Oh?" Ozumi said.
"Yeah! Squall gave me a lot of confidence!" Zell said. Squall cracked a little smile.
"Well that's good to hear!" Selphie said.
"Yes indeed…Good for you Zell!" Quistis sai.d
"Oh if you ask me it's all a bunch of bullshit!" Seifer said.
"And why do you say that?" Quistis asked.
"Because it's Zell we're talking about here! He's a freakin' pussy!" Seifer said. At that point Zell lost it and socked Seifer in the stomach. "Shit! Why you little!" Seifer said. Seifer got up and punched Zell across the face.
"Stop it!" Quistis said holding back Seifer. Squall held back Zell.
"Let me go!" Seifer demanded.
"No! Not unless you control yourself!" Quistis said.
"Zell, the same goes for you" Squall said.
"Well I have no problem controling myself…but he started it!" Zell said.
"Okay…I get the point…just control yourslef…" Squall saidk
"Right…" Zell said.
"Good!" Squall said as he let Zell go.
"…And you Seifer?" Quistis said. Seifer sighed.
"Fine…But I'm not promising anything…" he said. Quistis let go of him. Seifer immediately took a teasing step towards Zell. Zell put his fists up in defence.
"Quistis, I trust you can take care of this so I'm gonna leave…" Squall said.
"Right…See ya Squall!" Quistis said.
"Wait!" Zell said. Squall stopped without turning around. "I wanna come with you!" As soon as Zell caught up with Squall, Squall continued to walk.
Later on Ozumi was pacing back and forth in his room.
"What am I going to do?" he asked himself. "If I don't do something now this is gonna drive me insane!" He took a deep breath and walked out of his room. He walked down the hallway and to the main room. Across the way he saw Zell and Squall. They were just sitting on the bench talking. Ozumi sighed.
Later on Ozumi caught Squall as he was going back to his room.
"Hey Squall!" Ozumi said. Squall stopped.
"Yes?" he said. Ozumi took a deep breath.
"Do you like Zell?" he asked. Squall blinked a couple of times.
"No, Of course no!" he said. Ozumi sighed and smiled.
"Awesome man, You just totally made my day!" he said. At this point Squall felf a little worried, So he just had to ask…
"Why?" Oh! Because I've had this GINORMUS crush on him for like…FOREVEVER!" Ozumi said. Suddenly Squall felt a cold chill go down his spine. He couldn't place what he was feeling right now, but it was definitely something.
"Well I'll talk to ya later man! See ya!" Ozumi said as he walked away.
"Bye Kei…" Squall said. He went into his room and closed the door.
