Author's notes: Here's the final chapter of Hot N Cold, Enjoy!

Squall winced, almost as if being hit, before looking down, letting Seifer walk away as he let himself begin to think everything over. Everything that he'd learned. But there was one thing that bothered him... and that is that he'd had his cell phone recently... but the woman gave it to Squall to give back to Seifer. On top of that... Seifer had run away instead of talking to the woman himself. It just... didn't fit... and he wanted to believe Seifer... completely.

----

A few days had come and gone, and Squall hadn't heard or seen the arrogant blond. It was as if the man completely stopped existing. He hadn't made an effort to contact his so called lover either. Perhaps that's where the problem laid? Pinching the bridge of his nose, the brunette sighed heavily. He wasn't going to apologize, he wasn't the one in the wrong here. Besides if Seifer loved him as much as he said then he would be here right now, right?

Grunting he grabbed a book and opened it up, reading it as he laid on his bed. His mind couldn't comprehend the text however, it kept wandering back to the very man that plagued him. Sighing, Squall got up and grabbed his cellphone, calling Seifer. Perhaps they could fix their relationship, and come to an understanding. That is...if the man would answer it. Had he lost his cell phone during a romp with a girl yet again? Clicking his tongue bitterly he grabbed his tennis shoes and slid them onto his feet, the phone cradled by his shoulder. "Like he really gives a damn about me." he mumbled to himself. As expected, the phone went straight to voicemail. Steel blue eyes narrowed as he closed his phone.

Grabbing his wallet and keys he stormed out of the dorm his soul intent was finding his so called lover. He had several bones to pick with him. The main one being...was their relationship nothing more than a game to him? Just make him fall in love then break his heart into a million pieces to the point they couldn't be mended? Or did love truly prevail all...like the literature majors claimed.

Seifer yawned as he stretched out along Raijin's couch. His beeping cellphone, catching his attention he leaned over the side of the couch reaching for it. Opening it, he blinked at the message of having one missed call, from Squall.

So the brunette did miss him, or maybe he wanted to call and bitch at him some more. Whatever the reason, at least he had the audacity to call. Hitting the send button, he waited as it dialed his lover's number.

"Where are you?" was the curt cold response on the other end.

Momentarily stunned, Seifer could only blink before replying "At Raijins." he frowned "If you don't believe me you could always come and check."

"I plan to."

Scowling, the blond sat up running his fingers through short spiky locks. "You still don't trust me do you?" he asked, his voice raising "I tried explaining to you that I used her as a substitute for you and you refuse to believe that. Why are you so hell bent on thinking I'm some kind of unfaithful bastard?"

"Because you ARE!" Squall hollared "How the hell could she have your cell phone if you're being faithful to me? Why would you have to use her as a substitute for me if you already have me?"

Seifer wanted to pull his hair out. The brunette was not listening to anything he had told him a couple days ago, and he highly doubted he'd listen now. "I told you. I met her before I even propositioned you. She looks like you so I fucked her in the ass thinking of your tight ass the entire time. I left the cell phone I had at the time with her, obviously. I went out and bought another, thinking that specific cell phone had been stolen, or lost and got a new one...the one I have now. Do you get it now?"

"Why wouldn't you come home, or even wait for me in the mall if that was the case?"

"Squall...you're beginning to piss me the FUCK off. I tried explaining myself, and you weren't listening...just like right now." seifer took a deep breath to try to relax a bit. "I didn't go back to our room because I wanted to give you time to cool off and I-"

"You could have at least called!" squall interrupted

"It's a two way street, kitten." the blond mumbled "besides, it's obvious you don't trust me...so why am I trying to prove myself to a damn brick wall? What could obviously come from it?"

The silence on the other end was painful, the brunette licked his lips "Are you...incinuating it's over?" he whispered

"Yes," Seifer responded briskly. "at least until you can learn to trust me." he blinked when he didn't hear anything, pulling the phone away from his ear he looked down at the screen. Letting out an exhasperated sigh as it blinked 'call ended'

"Great." he muttered "Just..fucking great."
