Chapter 11

~Quistis~

Monday morning came too quickly. Every part of me wanted to stay, I knew this was not realistic even when he asked, rather pleaded, for me to stay. I am SeeD, I promised my life to Garden and right now Trabia needs me and so does Selfie. Besides, what if any of my peers ever found out about my relationship with Seifer. I knew what I had to do, now hopefully I have the heart to do it. I take one last look out the window of the bedroom and see Seifer driving the rental car he picked up towards the Hotel. Of course he had to pick up the wildest red convertible muscle car he could find. Picking up my bag I head down the stairs sneaking past the restaurant to avoid any more awkward goodbyes. Getting out of the car he walks around to open the passenger door.

"My lady" He says smiling while opening the door and throwing my duffel in the back.

"So like you to rent this for just a 2 hour drive to Deling" I laugh sinking into the soft leather seat.

"Hey I don't have a reason to drive often so when I do may as well have some fun with it" He says shifting the car into first gear and pulling out of the small town. I look over at him and truly feel guilty for what I'm about to say to him he looks so happy in this moment. "So after I drop you off at the train station I was thinking I will actually join the modern world and get a cell phone, you know since I'll be in Deling anyways, plus it would be nice to FaceTime with you and stuff" He says the word stuff with a big smirk in my direction and I can't help but giggle. We turn the corner to get on the main road to Deling and he suddenly accelerates. So turns out he drives like a maniac though I am truly not surprised, I'm actually kind of grateful he didn't throw me on the back of a motorcycle. Realizing quite quickly that we wouldn't be able to talk in the car over the loud wind I decide to just lie back and feel the wind blowing my hair around taking in this last carefree moment with him. I truly would cherish it forever, this whole week has been perfect.

We roll into Deling a bit after 9am pulling over by the train station he gets out and opens my door. I know what I have to do and I can barely face him. Standing up but keeping my eyes down I feel him close the distance between us.

"It will be okay, don't worry we will make this work" he says pulling up my face with one hand and rubbing my shoulder encouragingly with the other.

I feel a tear roll down my cheek and I pull me head back down and away from him. "Yea but maybe we shouldn't" I say turning around in an attempt to grab my bag, I feel his strong arms turning me back around quickly.

"What are you saying? Just throwing in the towel before you even try, Quisty c'mon babe, I'll get a phone and we'll organize secret frisky meetups all the time" He offers pulling me in close. "Please Quistis don't do this" more tears roll down my cheeks.

"It's not smart, everybody I know wants you dead, Seifer it's just not realistic the two of us" I look up at him, his expression slowly shattering before me. "We are just too different"

"You can't be serious right now, Fuck Quistis, I can't believe you are turning your back on me again. Fuck" He pulls away clearly angry now, turning around, I feel so guilty but he must in some way realize I'm right. He turns back around green eyes boring down into mine "I would do fucking anything for you. This is bullshit. What was I to you anyways? What was this week? Just some long fucking one night stand? Is that what I am to you?"

"N-No Seifer" I stammer "that's not it at all" I lightly lay my hand across his forearm my eyes pleading for him to just understand, it's because I care for him I have to do this. His eyes search mine, sadness and anger twisting at the edge of his lips he brings them down to mine fervently. He pushes me back against the car deepening the kiss, I run my fingers through his hair and moan into his mouth. Thankfully most people seem to have already been at work because we we're clearly causing a scene here. I try and commit every part of him to memory in this last embrace, the feel of his strong arms around me, the smell of his fresh cologne, the taste of his tongue in my mouth. Then just as quickly as it has begun he pulled away reaching to the side of me and angrily throwing my duffle bag at my feet.

"Have a nice life Instructor" He spits out at me and stomps around the car, slamming himself down in the driver's seat and peeling off. I was unable to move, frozen to the spot, bag still at my feet, tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Goodbye Seifer" I whisper to myself.

A/N

I was thinking of putting this fella on hiatus (mostly to delve into some Cloti, damn ffvii is getting to me) but this chappy was so fun to write I am kinda pumped again. Seiftis will always be my fav Seifer my muse but damn that ffvii remake was sooooooo good. If you haven't played it yet, do it, and then replay the original too so good!

Thanks for the read!
