Seifer's POV:

This was unexpected. Squall was quite pleasant today. Gone was the almost offensively quiet and brooding boy I met yesterday. Here before me was the same guy, still awkwardly shy, yet somehow a lot gentler. Perhaps he'd had a bad day yesterday? I mean, I know I was somewhat rude to him in P.E. and all but he's really confusing the hell outta me now…

Despite the confusion, I was totally eager to get to know him and hopefully make a start at making the fantasy which had planted itself into my brain a reality. Squall as my boyfriend. The though elicited chills of pleasure up my spine. I knew I must look stupid with a cheesy grin on my face, though I was glad when I saw Squall smile in return.

My heart melted then and I knew that it was real, what I felt for him. For once in my sleazy existence, I could honestly say that I would NEVER cheat on a partner. When the bell rang for class, I was only vaguely aware. Squall and I were standing together companionably, the silence between us comfortable and relaxed.

Yesterday I thought that it'd take quite a bit to get Squall to trust me. Today however, I wasn't sure. He may not trust me yet, but at this stage, his kindness was more than enough for me and I believed that someday soon, I would earn his trust.

We walked toward school, to the first lesson (Maths –GAH!) and I noticed that we were all in the same class. Yesterday, Quissy and I were introduced to the class by one of the faculty again and because of that we'd arrived later than everyone else, so I found it strange that I didn't see either Squall or Cloud in class yesterday. Oh well they're here now I smiled inwardly. "Hey, more time spent with my Prince Charming. Hehehe" Man, I really was a sleaze.

Squall's POV:

He was in my Maths class?! Well I did tell myself I'd try and be nice. Never really knew that it could be this hard. Mainly I was just trying to emulate Cloud's normal attitude. Man I really idolized him. "Don't forget who kept you up most of the night!" my heart kept exclaiming loudly. "I KNOW! I LIKE SEIFER OK!" My head was yelling back. I could feel a headache coming on.

Seifer and Quistis took the seats next to ours. In a row, we had Selphie and Quistis on the ends, Cloud and Seifer next to them and I was crammed in the middle. For once, I found myself not paying attention in maths at all. Usually I would at least half pay attention but not today. Seifer sitting on my left provided more of a distraction than fireworks would. I kept fidgeting and unconsciously found myself flirting and what was worse was that it wasn't subtle at all.

For example, I found my arm against his on more than one occasion, our legs pressed together, my hand on his, my hand on his shoulder and what the hell was up with me?! I'd never been this physical with anyone other than my mother, Cloud and Selphie. This guy was making me into a needy, clingy little freak.

I had to force myself so hard to stop, which wasn't helped by the fact that I had just put my hand next to his again and he'd squeezed mine. Gods; why did this have to happen to me. Cloud was sitting on my other side and began nudging me. I looked at him and then at Mr Barrett. He'd just asked me something and I was too busy spacing out like a lovesick dog to notice. "Sorry sir, I didn't hear the question." I said eliciting giggles from half the damned class which made me feel very hot under the collar.

Mr Barrett nodded disapprovingly at me but continued to ask one of the other students the question. I was grateful that I hadn't been holding Seifer's hand or anything when all eyes were on me, but the moment I thought that, I wanted to hold his hand. "STOP IT" I reminded myself "You are in Class. These people already think you're gay, sure you are, but they don't know for sure and Wakka would only see it as another reason to pound your sorry existence back into the last millennia"

How the hell was I going to manage this?

Seifer's POV:

Today had definitely been the polar opposite of yesterday. Squall kept touching me, intentional or not, it was still a damned turn on! I felt his leg rub against mine once and I felt searing heat radiate through my body, and when he held my hand for like a nanosecond I thought I'd lose it right there.

Teach looked this way and I was kinda glad that Squall had lain off the touching at that time since we seemed to be under a spot light. I wasn't quite ready to be "outed" for being gay again. My train of thought was sorta derailed when I hear giggling. Stupid morons, why the hell were they giggling? Bah who cares really?

When the teacher had looked away again, I saw the slight trace of a blush on Squall's cheeks and I wanted so badly to kiss him right there. Come on, if he kept touching me, he had to be flirting right? I certainly liked the idea but at the same time couldn't help feeling like I was totally getting ahead of myself. Maybe they were honest mistakes? I still didn't even know if Squall was interested in guys or what.

Maybe he was interested in guys… I got that impression from the physical attraction we seemed to be sharing all lesson. I felt like a magnet, totally attracted, drawn physically toward Squall by some invisible force. Though maybe he was straight… I had no clue which to believe though there was definitely one I'd prefer over the other.

Remembering the last words I'd spoken last night. "Squall, I think I love you" I mumbled to myself. "What?" came Squall's voice, sounding slightly panicked and my immediate thought was "FUCK!"
