Chapter 7 – A Friendly Favour
AN: In this Seifer grew up with his grandparents, so that's why Seifer's mom doesn't know Hayner.
Hayner was baffled by what he had just been asked to do - asked to be, by his so called rival. "You what?" Hayner asked again, not believing what he thought he had just heard.
The school day was finally over and Hayner was glad to be out, this week was dragging so much and all he wanted was to collapse in bed and stay there for a while. But then he remembered that it was his turn to go to Seifer's house for 'studying', though they did really need to do some of that.
Before he could get over the field where they ate lunch, something had grabbed him and pulled him around the same corner where Seifer was taken him not that long ago.
Hayner was about to curse out whoever it was when he saw Seifer staring down at him, he didn't seem as cocky as usual and that kind of made Hayner nervous as to what was about to happen.
"What do you want Seifer?" The blonde glanced around before locking his gaze with the younger blonde.
"I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend" Hayner felt like laughing, but the serious look on Seifer's face stopped him. Why the fuck did Seifer want him to pretend to be with him?
"You heard me right lamer, I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend" Hayner gulped; there was no way of getting out of this one without coming to grievous bodily harm. "It's because my mom is coming home today and she keeps trying to set me up with other millionaires' children" Hayner knew he looked like an idiot with his mouth hanging open but he didn't care, the thing asked was too unthinkable.
"Why me of all people? Why not anybody else, you know people would kill to even pretend to be with you" Seifer smirked again, leaning in slightly so Hayner could feel his breath on his face and smell the expensive cologne that was very much Seifer.
"You think I'm hot lamer?" Hayner flushed, shaking his head rapidly.
"I never said that! I just said that you could get anyone you wanted" He pouted, watching the smirk on Seifer's face get bigger by the moment.
"And what if I want you?" Seifer brushed his lips gently over Hayner's knowing that the younger couldn't say no to him, even if they claimed to hate eachother. "That and the fact that you'll be coming over later, so she can see you in person" Hayner frowned, he knew the first bit was never going to be true.
"Whatever asshole" Hayner tried to slide away from the elder, but strong hands pushed him further into the wall, securing him there.
"You didn't answer my question" What if this was all a sick joke to Seifer? Hayner wasn't about to let himself look like a love sick girl by admitting that the thought of being with Seifer didn't repulse him. It excited him, and that scared Hayner more than anything, he didn't know when his feeling had changed, just that they had.
"What if you do? What about it?" Seifer seemed to contemplate it, backing slightly off, but not allowing Hayner to make a run for it at the first sight. After about a minute or so of silence, Hayner posed another question hoping it would make Seifer more likely to answer. "What would you do about it?" It was quieter, but Seifer definitely heard it judging by the look on his face.
"I think the question is what do you want me to do" Hayner frowned; he just wanted a straight answer from the other boy.
"Just answer me dammit!" Seifer chuckled and re-leaned in; chewing on the corner of his bottom lip and Hayner knew that Seifer knew he was staring. Taking a deep breath, he looked Seifer in the eye.
"When you answer me Chickenwuss" Hayner let out an exasperated noise and pushed Seifer back, storming off, calling a 'see you later asshole' over his shoulder.
~S*H~
Hayner stood nervously outside of Seifer's apartment building, trying to decide how to approach the situation. To be honest, he wasn't even sure why he turned up, maybe it was because of some twisted desire for the elder or maybe it was the hopes that Seifer felt the same towards him.
Shaking his head, he scolded himself before walking up the last few stairs and into the reception of the fancy looking building. The woman behind the bar glanced up at him before returning her attention elsewhere.
Great security, Hayner scoffed and scuffled towards the lift pressing the top floor button and leaning against the wall. He was nervous as hell.
He jumped slightly when the doors pinged open and taking a deep breath he stepped out and stood outside of Seifer's door. He knocked and waited only a few moments, before Seifer swung the door open, his signature smirk on his face. He was expecting the head that peeked over his shoulder, but he sure as hell wasn't expecting Seifer to swoop down and kiss him as if he was delighted to see him.
"Hayner, this is my mom, Lydia. Mom this is my boyfriend Hayner" Seifer stepped back to let his mother attack his disgruntled friend.
"Hello darling, how lovely to meet you" She kissed each cheek, before holding Hayner's face in her hands, twisting him this way and that. "I'm so glad that my son has found someone so handsome to be with, I've been trying to find someone like you for Seifer for ages now" Seifer rolled his eyes and pulled her away, letting Hayner walk in and get somewhat comfortable under his friend's mother's gaze.
"Have you eaten already?" Hayner had had a snack before he came, hoping they could just get take out or something.
"Erm, not really, no" Seifer had wandered off somewhere in the massive penthouse, Hayner was sure he was going to get lost in there. Not that he would be coming often of course.
"Great, I'll make you something, I know Seifer won't of eaten either" The blonde reappeared, now holding his laptop and some paper.
"Actually mom, we have work to do, so I was just going to get us take out. Right Hayner?" He just nodded dumbly, not really sure how to address the other lady without saying something offensive to her son.
"Oh, well I should probably be going I suppose" She sent a hopeful glance at her son who just looked back at her with a blank expression before sauntering over to the door opening it, as a silent hint for his Mother to leave. "I hope to see you both soon, goodbye Hayner honey" Hayner smiled waving slightly at her.
She said something quietly to Seifer who smirked and nodded, before leaving and closing the door behind her.
Hayner suddenly felt nervous at being alone with his 'boyfriend', Seifer was too unpredictable and Hayner hated to admit it but it excited him. Hayner plopped down on the sofa, turning the flat screen on, trying to ignore the elder. Seifer simply chuckled and sat next to him, closer than he probably should have.
"What did your mom say?" He wasn't going to start an awkward silence, knowing that Seifer probably wouldn't be the one to start it up – enjoying Hayner's discomfort.
"She said you were handsome and I should hold on to you for a long time" Hayner blushed and looked away, staring intently at the TV, just making a grunt noise in answer.
Seifer laughed. "You're so cute" Hayner froze, did Seifer seriously just called him cute?
"What?" Seifer stopped laughing, catching Hayner's gaze. It was like in the movies, everything around them was seemingly forgotten and Hayner unconsciously leaned towards Seifer, who ran a hand through the back of Hayner's hair, pulling him closer.
Seifer's breath ghosted over his lips, making them part. "I like you Hayner" Hayner stared deeply into Seifer's eyes, trying to figure out where this was going.
"I like you too" Hayner knew that what was said could be meant just as friendship, but the position they were in said otherwise.
Seifer closed the gap between them, starting a hot and passionate kiss instantly. Hayner moaned and lay back, pulling Seifer over him like the other night in his room. Seifer grunted and pulled back leaving kisses on his neck, nibbling on a spot just under his ear, making Hayner's breath hitch.
"I don't want to go any further if you don't want it" Hayner whined when Seifer pulled away, sitting on his hips.
"I do want it, I've wanted this for a while" it was only after it came out, did Hayner think about what he had just implied. Seifer seemed to think the same, before a brilliant smile; similar to the one he gave Hayner's mom appeared on his face.
"So does this mean you'll be my real boyfriend this time?" Hayner snorted at how unromantic this was, but it suited them perfectly.
"Sure, asshole" Seifer smirked but got off, reaching for the phone.
"Is Chinese ok?" Hayner simply nodded, putting his hands behind his head, making himself comfy, he knew they wouldn't go all the way tonight. They really did need to do some work.
