Squall's POV

He melted into those soft lips and strong arms, his stomach tightening and his legs weakening as the smell of honey and musk overwhelmed him. His mind was spinning as Irvine's strong callused hand caressed his cheek and steadied him, pulling him back into the moment, back into those violet eyes. Squall could feel his heart unraveling, feeling more and more vulnerable as it thundered in his chest. Irvine pulled his body in closer. Squall's stiffness rubbed against Irvine's rock solid thigh, making Squall moan as Irvine smiled into their kiss.

"Oh, babe~" Irvine husked, caressing his cheek and running his fingers though Squall's feathery brown hair. Squall's head was spinning, as Irvine's tongue caressed his roughly while the kisses still stayed sweet and tender somehow. He felt a strong hand wandering down his back and grabbing his butt possessively as the other cupped his cheek.

Squall jumped back as he felt his pocked vibrate, almost biting Irvine's tongue.

"Hey, focus." Irvine husked nibbling on his pouty lower lip seductively, as he pulled him close again.

"Call," Squall whimpered, feeling that hand wander back to his butt to grasp him in the most suggestive ways. He felt Irvine's thickness rub against his stomach and was a little bit surprised at how much it excited him, his heart swelling as he let himself be handled so tenderly, the feeling of weakness making him recoil. "Seifer…"

"What?" Irvine said leaning back out of the kiss immediately, but still holding Squall close at the hips. Although lust was heavy in those violet eyes Squall could see a heavy question, maybe an expectation.

"I was supposed to meet him with Quistis before the ball… It's probably him," Squall said softly.

"Make him wait," Irvine said simply, leaning back and kissing Squall again albeit with a little bit less tenderness in his touch.

"But…" Squall pulled back again. "I don't want him to feel like I have something against him…" Squall said softly. Irvine pulled back with a frown, this time releasing his waist completely.

"Is it really that important for you to go see him?" Irvine said carefully with little of his usual honey sweet charm.

"yeah… I mean… I don't want us to start off badly. I am going to have to depend on him…"Irvine's frown deepened.

"Then go," Irvine said stiffly.

"But…" Squall looked back at him shyly, all the swollenness in his chest constricting under his leveled stare. Squall looked for his jacket awkwardly, he had lost it somewhere along the way, they had made it halfway to Irvine's bedroom and he couldn't help but blush. "I…" Squall paused, he didn't know what to say. Looking in Irvine's eyes was becoming increasingly difficult, they made him feel so weak that he had avoided them and missed the moment that they closed off to him.

"So you're just leaving…?" Irvine said, the stiffness in his voice making Squall meet his eyes.

"Yeah… I mean… I have a meeting…" he tried to explain. Everything had hit him like a whirlwind and he hadn't even considered what he was doing or his agenda for the rest of the day. He had been thinking that a short visit with Irvine would take away some of the awfulness that had been the day, which it had, but things had completely gotten away from him. "Sorry…" He reached out to tough Irvine's chest but realized how much the distance between them had increased.

"Why did you even come here if you had such an important meeting?" Irvine wouldn't meet his eyes any longer.

"I didn't think it would take so long…" Squall frowned at his own words. This was why he avoided so much conversation, he never knew how to express what he meant. "I mean… I was just overwhelmed by the day… I forgot…" Squall said licking his lips shyly, he could still taste Irvine on them.

"What did you want from me?" Irvine said softly, staring down at the ground. "Did you just come here so that I could make you feel better and then you could run off to Seifer?"

"What? I didn't… are you mad?" Squall asked, feeling his heart ache and realizing that he had allowed himself to be much too vulnerable. Suddenly Irvine didn't feel so safe. "I just… I thought it was okay…" he said his voice whimpering softly.
