Chapter 5 – A Problem Project
Hayner didn't know how long he stood staring at the mirror, or why he was staring himself down. Well… he did know why, but he just didn't want to admit that Seifer had riled him up.
Sighing and running a hand through his hair, he walked out of his house, knowing that he couldn't skive school without his mother finding out and beating the crap out of him. Slinging his bag over his shoulder he locked the door and set off for school. But the thought that he would have to sit next to Seifer for at least 10 minutes this morning was plaguing his thoughts.
His thoughts were proved right when Seifer waltzed into homeroom, sliding gracefully into the seat, eyes never leaving his face. "What?"
"Is lamer not happy to see me?" Hayner bit his tongue softly but firmly to stop anything coming out from his mouth; he didn't want to end up in another detention with Seifer, in fear that the elder blonde would molest him again. Miss Grayson walked in before Seifer could say anything else.
~S*H~
Hayner sat in History, one of the only other classes he had with Seifer, but he was lucky enough to not have to sit next to him.
The teacher was a big-chested woman and Hayner looked in disgust at the other boys practically drooling over her; her chest wasn't exactly concealed, but he was pretty sure the principal didn't mind for exactly the same reason most of the male population liked her.
"So class, we are going to do a paired project on World War 2" They was a collective groan around the class, especially from Hayner; he had never been very good at History, Geography was more his thing. "I have already chosen the pairs, so calm down" The groan was louder and most people slumped in their chairs.
That made Hayner tense, knowing his luck he would be stuck with Seifer – and even more annoying was the fact that the elder blonde was very good at History.
It was tense in the room as she read out the names of the pairs in alphabetical order, meaning Seifer would be called out pretty quickly. "Seifer Almasy with Hayner Dincht" There was a muffled giggle around the room, where the teachers stupid?
Seifer smirked in his direction, before turning his attention back to the front of them room as the rest of the list was called out.
"Move to sit with your pairs and decide how you're going to approach it and what you want to include, it should be at least 3 minutes long, there will be consequences if it's not" Hayner made no effort to move, staring intently at the wall, not even looking when the chair next to him scraped across the floor.
"Yo lamer, you're going to have to look at me if you don't want to get another detention with me" Hayner tensed, but glanced at Seifer who was drawing on the table.
"Whatever asshole" Seifer sighed, his face now with a frown, Hayner was being way more difficult than he needed him to be.
"Look Chickenwuss" His voice was now just a harsh whisper, obviously not wanting everyone else to hear what he was about to say. "If I offended you because I'm gay, then I'm sorry" He slouched back into his chair, folding his arms over his chest, no longer looking at Hayner.
He froze, did he hear that right? Seifer thought he was mad because he was gay? Hayner sent him a look that clearly showed that he thought Seifer was a moron.
"It's not because you're gay dumbass, I'm gay, it's the fact that you fucking molested me" Seifer looked slightly relieved but still severely pissed off, the pair just sat glaring daggers at eachother until their teacher walked over to check that everything was ok.
~S*H~
Roxas, Olette, Axel and Pence were bugging him endlessly about the sudden mood he was in. Hayner hadn't told them about the detention yet, but he figured if ever there was a good time, it would probably be now.
"Look guys, he jumped me in detention and I don't mean for a fight" That shut them up. Axel was the first to break the silence with hysterical laughter and soon everyone else was following, but Hayner didn't miss the pleased look in Olette's eyes. But that would have to wait until later.
Hayner frowned and slowly ate his burger, trying to ignore his friends, this was most certainly not funny. "Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want guys but now I'm stuck with him in a history project and he thought I was offended with him because he was gay. I told him that it was because he molested me, not because he was gay… and then I told him I was gay". It hit him then, if anything, him being gay was only going to spur him on.
"Well shit Hayner, you've just dumped yourself in a pile of shit" Olette hit Axel softly for his language before turning to Hayner with soft eyes.
"Is the thought of being with Seifer that bad? I mean, you guys used to be best friends when you were little and apart from us, he's the closest person to you" Hayner looked away; he couldn't be mean to Olette no matter how outlandish the things she said were.
"Olette, that's bullshit, Seifer's a prick!" At least Roxas was still sane, but at her pout he gave in and sighed. "Though I suppose I did kind of see it coming" Hayner gaped at him, throwing his hands in the air.
"I give up, you're all deluded. I don't like Seifer!" They all froze, but Olette giggled softly at something behind him.
"That's not very nice Chickenwuss" Hayner tensed and slowly turned around, putting his burger down. He glared up at Seifer who was smirking down at him, hands in his pockets, drawing Hayner's eyes to his long hanging trousers. Gulping, Hayner looked away, what was wrong with him, staring at Seifer like a wanton school girl?
"Excuse us lamers, he'll be right back" Before Hayner could complain, he was dragged up by his collar and led around a corner, where he wasn't in the line of sight of his friends.
"What the fuck are you doing asshole, let me go!" He was thrashing against Seifer's grasp, but the elder had him pinned against the wall.
"I just wanted to talk about this history project" Hayner stopped struggling for a moment, his fist tense around the other's wrists. "Your place or mine?" The playful smirk was back and their lips were dangerously close; Hayner was just glad there was no one else around.
He certainly didn't miss the innuendo behind the question, but I did lead to thoughts of what would happen if they did end up alone. "Mine, I don't trust you here, nevermind on your own turf" Seifer simply chuckled and released Hayner's hands, letting his own run down the lithe body infront of him until they rested on thin hips.
"You just want me in your bed" Seifer paused before a sly grin appeared on his face. "Oops, meant bedroom. I'll be there at 6 tomorrow" Hayner was sure Seifer was going to kiss him before he left.
But just as he was expecting it to happen again the elder blonde pushed away and walked off without a glance back. Hayner didn't even have the time to ask how Seifer knew where he lived, but as Olette had said earlier, they used to be best friends in primary school, but that was over 10 years ago.
Shaking his head, Hayner ran a hand through his already messy hair and sauntered back over to his friends, not answering any questions they might have had.
