A struggling Hayner was pushed through the door of Seifer's apartment before Seifer finally released him. Seifer stood in front of his door giving Hayner a condescending look.
"I could get you arrested for this you know." Hayner said with a glare.
"Just go clean off your hand Lamer." Seifer said not moving from his post. Hayner gave another glare before turning around. He stared blankly for a second before realizing that he had no idea where the bathroom was.
"... um where's your bathroom?" Hayner asked a bit embarrassed. He didn't know why he was so flustered.
"Oh, right it's uh down the hall on the right. " Seifer said feeling a bit flustered himself. He relaxed a bit and moved away from the door to go sit on the couch. Hayner made his way to the bathroom and washed out his wound. It stung allot as the cold water from the faucet washed over it. He glanced in the medicine cabinet and found some hydrogen peroxide and some band aid's. He poured the cleaning agent onto his hand and winced as it began to bubble. A few moments later the boy applied the bandage's needed and walked out of the bathroom.
"... Thanks." Hayner said awkwardly standing beside the couch.
"It's getting kind of late and I don't trust you out alone at night. Your staying here." Seifer said, putting on his usual condescending manner.
"What!" Hayner said not believing his ears.
"You can take my bed, I'll sleep on the couch." Seifer said it more as an order then anything else. Hayner's jaw just dropped unable to comprehend what was happening.
"Wait... So you expect me to just stay here- in your bed- all night?" The younger boy asked in disbelief. Seifer shrugged as if he saw nothing wrong with it. Hayner went to open his mouth to protest but knew that Seifer would get his way even if he had to tie Hayner to the bed to do so. He let out a defeated sigh and sat on the opposite side of the couch from the older boy. Seifer smirked sadly, was Hayner that against him? The older blonde flipped through channels on the television sighing when nothing good was on. His stomach growled and a frown crossed his face. He was on his way to the grocery store before he found Hayner, and really had nothing to eat. Hayner glanced over at Seifer having noticed his own stomach was growling too.
"... Uh, yah got any food?" Hayner said awkwardly.
"Well funny thing is I was on my way to the store when I found you..." Seifer gave a slight chuckle as his stomach gave another protest. The older blonde walked into his small kitchen and looked in his fridge once again. A carton of milk about to go bad, a couple slices of ham, some cheese and a couple of eggs. He glanced around the rest of his kitchen and found two bagels. He quickly divided up the small amounts of ham and cheese between the boys and poured each a glass of milk.
The meal was short and silent as each boy quickly ate the food and drank their milk ravenously.
"Hey... um Seifer, are you sure you'll be okay on the couch? I mean, I could always take it... I just kinda feel bad intruding like this." Hayner said honestly. No one had ever really taken care of him before, sure he had been over to peoples houses before and gotten the guest treatment but this was different. Seifer was really going out of his way to care for him. Seifer smirked.
"I'll be fine chickenwuss." The older boy said giving Hayner a playful punch on the shoulder. Hayner returned the playfull punch with a smirk happy to finally see Seifer some what normal and not all 'I like you'-ish. The older blonde disappeared into his room and brought out some old pajamas.
"Here try these on." He said throwing them in Hayner's face.
"Geez! Don't have to throw things, Ima cripple remember?" Hayner said taking the thrown clothes into his hands.
"Punching a wall because you realize how much your in love with me doesn't make you a cripple." Sifer said shortening the distance between the too. Hayner felt his cheeks flush, though he didn't know why, that totally wasn't the reason he punched the wall... was it?
"You wish." Hayner retorted turning his head away from the older boy to hide his face.
"Oh really, lamer? Then why are you blushing?" Seifer closed even more space between them.
"I'm not blushing!" Hayner snapped back at the boy who only chuckled. Seifer took the boys chin in his hand and forced Hayner to look at him.
"You are." He said in that deep tone that could rip the heart out of anyone and send it flying.
"Stop saying stuff like that." Hayner mumbled as a shiver broke across his skin. His eyes refusing to meet the sky blue of his captors.
"Why? You know you like it." Seifer said keeping that rich tone making another shiver spread across Hayner's skin. The younger boy backed to a wall only to be followed by Seifer. The older boy rested one arm against the wall and allowed his mouth to stray closer to Hayner's ear. Hayner tensed and tightly shut his eyes waiting for Seifer to do whatever it was he was going to do. After a moment or two of nothing Hayner slowly opened his eyes to see Seifer smirking down at him.
"Admit it and I'll go on." He said teasingly making sure to keep his voice in that deep tone. Hayner's face went even brighter before pushing Seifer off him. He gathered the clothes that he had dropped on the floor and quickly dashed into Seifer's room, making sure to securely shut the door behind him. Seifer chuckled to himself. He loved how flustered the younger boy got and wanted nothing more but to hold him and make him his.
After a couple minutes to let the younger blonde change and cool down, Seifer went and knocked on the door.
"I wouldn't mind some pajamas too, you know." The boy grimaced at the ending of the sentence. His friends were great, but he would be quite frustrated if he picked up Rai's little quirk. Hayner opened the door, face still very red and let the blonde in. It was his room after all. Hayner stood awkwardly, arms folded in the pajamas that were a little to big on him. Once Seifer gathered what he wanted, he turned back to Hayner. The younger boy still refused to look him in the eye and was very content to stare at the stained carpet.
"Well, night." Seifer said awkwardly as he headed for the door.
"Night, and ...thanks again." Hayner said finally looking up at the taller blonde. Seifer gave a smile before closing the door and heading to the couch.
Seifer had never realised how much of a light sleeper he really was. His room didn't have any windows and the only real noise he could here inside of its safe walls was the air conditioning unit. However, out in the living room there was the slight hum that came from the tv, a little click he had never even noticed before as the fan spun above him, you could here sounds out by the streets from people still bustling about, and then there was a soft rustling coming from his room. The older blonde couldn't help but take a peek inside at the sleeping teenager. He seemed to be having quite the dream as he slowly thrashed in his sheets, small peeps escaping him now and then.
"n-noo..." The boy said in his sleep. "S-seifer-mm- n-no!" Seifer eyes opened wide. Had Hayner just called out his name in his sleep. The younger boy gripped the sheets of the bed and gave a slight moan. Seifer's eyes widened even further.
"Hayner...?" Seifer called out nearing the bed. The boy didn't seem to stir any from his dream and continued to toss in his sleep.
"Hayner!" Seifer called out more confidently this time. The boy ceased his movements and slowly opened his eyes. Hayner's face flushed at the sight of the older boy and quickly sat up in bed.
"W-what are you d-doing in here!" Hayner said flustered.
"I heard you thrashing in your sleep, thought you were having a nightmare so I woke you up." Seifer said sitting on the edge of the bed. Hayner looked relieved but his face still flushed like a mad man.
"Oh... what time is it anyway?" He mumbled the last part to himself with a yawn. Hayner was quite relived that Seifer hadn't heard anything, or at least he didn't think he had. He knew he was pretty bad about talking in his sleep. He wasn't ready to explain the dream he had just witnessed. He wasn't even sure he could explain it to himself.
"...But then I heard you moan my name?" Seifer asked questioningly. Did Hayner really just have a dream involving him? The younger boy tensed and his face went even brighter. 'Shit...' the younger boy said in his head. Seifer lifted and eyebrow at Hayner taking in his embarrassed features.
"Heh, y-yeah right! Y-you wish!" Hayner stuttered, this was not good, not good! In one movement Seifer had the younger boy pinned beneath him, there lips only inches apart. Hayner stiffened once again, memories of the dream still swarming in his head. There was no way he could tell Seifer he had just had his first sex dream and it had to deal with none other then Seifer himself. He was actually very thankful that the blonde had waken him up when he did. He was in no way ready to have a full blown sex scene rage on in his head and was glad he had only glimpsed part of what his sub conscious was capable of. The older blondes eyes were boring holes into his head demanding the truth. Hayner's head clouded as the blonde pressed himself even closer to him.
"Shit.. Seifer! G-get off me!" Hayner yelled at the blonde trying to shove him off. His mind way already confused enough, he didn't need Seifer clouding it even more.
"I don't think I will." Seifer said mimicking the dialogue just before there first kiss. Seifer brought his knee in between Hayner's legs and bent down just enough for there lips to touch. Hayner's mind was in chaos, Seifer's knee was touching a very sensitive place and who knew he could be so gentle? 'Shit shit shiiiitt!' Hayner yelled in his mind before rolling out from under the older boy. Seifer sighed in defeat before turning his attention to Hayner. He made no move toward the younger boy.
"You... you just can't do that! You hate me remember? We're rivals! And both guys! Just... why?" Hayner yelled confused, he shook his head to try and clear it. A few moments of silence passed, and just as Hayner was going to give up Seifer opened his mouth.
"I don't get it either... but I don't think I ever hated you. I think i've always... liked you, not hated you. You know that stupid old saying when the more someone picks on you the more they actually like you? ... It's stupid I know but, I think I like you chickenwuss." He said slowly, almost as if it was a struggle to get the words out with out cursing or insulting the boy. Hayner couldn't believe his ears, it had to be a joke, it had to be, any second Rai and Fuu and maybe even fucking Vivi will pop out of no where saying something stupid like 'Gotcha!'. But, the look on Seifer's face looked so genuine.
"No... No, your kidding, its just a joke right? It has to be, there's no way your gay, and for me? No no no no no no, I dont know what kind of prank your trying to pull Seifer but it ain't working!" With that said Hayner quickly gathered his things and ran.
