Chapter 2


Blind Obsession

"Hey, Seifer!" Selphie called out to him, spotting him standing alone in the hallway. She had been looking for a perfect date for the blond, and she had finally found one for him.

He looked up and sighed when he saw Selphie bounding towards him, grinning.

"I finally found a date for you!" she announced happily, still with the same smile on her face.

"Oh?" he said, but his voice was anything but interested.

"Oh, come on," she sighed. "I think you'll like this one. In fact, he sure seemed eager when I mentioned your name."

That caused him to blink, bewildered. Someone was actually eager to go out with him? That was a shock to Seifer. "Really?" he asked, the shock was apparent in his voice, and Selphie knew it.

"Yep!" she nodded, confirming what she had said. "I set your date up for tonight."

"Okay," Seifer said, sighing. "Where?"

"The restaurant In Balamb." Seifer knew exactly where it was at, so there wasn't a need to ask her where. "There's already a reservation there for you."

"Alright," the blond nodded. Then, he said, "Ain't like I got anything better to do, anyway."

"Oh, Seif. I think you'll have a good time," she beamed at him, obviously happy with her choice in a date for the tall man.

"Yeah... right..." he sighed again, wondering if anything would come out of this date, at all. Well, considering his last few dates, he wasn't entirely sure.

"Don't be like that," she admonished him, hitting his arm playfully.

He did smile slightly then, just a little curve of his lips. "Okay, okay," he rolled his eyes. "So, he seemed eager, huh?"

"Sure!" was her reply.

Seifer thought about it; maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Then again, with Seifers' luck lately, it was anybody's guess as to how this date would turn out. And besides that, this guy seemed to genuinely interested in him, so Seifer wasn't going to complain.

"What's his name?"

She grinned, a gleam in her eyes. "You'll find out when you go and see him."

This brought another sigh from the blond. "All right," he relented, seeing he wasn't going to get anything out of the girl.

"Oh! Have you seen Zell?" Selphie suddenly changed subject, eyes wide. It was like she forgot about him for a moment. She hadn't. She had just spent more time on Seifers' date. She was trying to get Seifes' mood to lighten instead of being down all the time.

"I think he's in the training center. At least, that's what he told me," Seifer answered, nodding in that exact direction.

"Thanks! Well, I gotta go. Make sure you meet your date at seven."

"Yeah..." his voice trailed off as Selphie sped off in the direction of the training center, then sighed. He was doing a lot of sighing lately. He really didn't want to go, but if he didn't want Selphie on his case, he figured it was best to just go and get it over with. Even so, he was mildly intrigued as to who she set him up with. He shook his head, mind going over the possibilities as to whom his date could be. Not only that, but what made Seifer even more curious; this guy was actually interested. No, not just interested, but eager.

He hadn't had the best of luck lately, but maybe, just maybe, this date will turn out better than his previous ones. Seifer scoffed. Luck was an understatement.

"Seifer?"

Seifer broke away from his thoughts, looking at Squall. "Ah, Squally boy."

"I just ran into Selphie." he started. "Actually, more like she ran into me." he winced and rubbed his shoulder. Seifer chuckled. "She said you have a date tonight?"

This elicited a sigh from the taller man. "Yeah..."

"You don't seem happy," Squall noted, frowning.

The other man just shrugged his shoulders, not really knowing how he was feeling about this. "I don't really know."

"Hn," the brunet nodded.

"Hm," Seifer suddenly smirked. "Aw, is Squally concerned about me?"

Squall glared at him for that. He always had to say something to get under his skin. Seifer knew how much he hated these name he called him. Squall thought he did it just to annoy him, knowing how much he hated it.

"No," he denied, though it was a blatant lie, and he was pretty sure Seifer could read right through him. Squall had never been a very good liar.

"Sure," the scarred blond smirked wider. "I know you are..."

"Bastard," Squall growled at him, causing him to chuckle. He had a nice laugh, Squall realized, he should do it more often. In fact, he really hadn't heard Seifer laugh like that in a while.

He stopped his chuckling. Teasing Squall was fun for Seifer. He had always done so. But, recently, he hadn't been doing much of anything. He knew his new change was noticeable, too. All his friends knew that he had changed. It wasn't hard to see.

"Whatever."

Seifer rolled his eyes. "Well, I don't know. I guess I'm kinda lookin' forward to it."

This caused the brunet to frown. "You are?"

"Yeah... I'm curious about what he's like," Seifer explained, seeing the questioning look Squall was giving him. "Selphie said he was eager, so..."

"Eager?" Squall blinked.

"Yes. That's what she said, anyway," the bigger man shrugged.

Squall didn't know if being eager was a good thing or not. "Oh..." Wow, Squall was coming up with some good responses.

"I wonder who she got for Dincht."

The other man shrugged. "Don't know."

"Maybe it'll be just like his one before last."

At this, Squall smirked. Oh, he remember that. Zell had a big red mark on his cheek for a while. It was funny.

Seifer also chuckled, finding anything Zell related amusing.

"What are you guys laughing at?"

"Zell," Seifer was the one who answered, ceasing his chuckles.

"Oh, what did he do this time?"

"Nothing," he said.

"Hm," Quistis eyed the two boys. "I heard you have a date tonight, Seifer," she mentioned, looking curious.

Seifer was getting tired of them bringing it up. It wasn't that big of a deal. Was it? So he had a date, so what? It wasn't unheard of. "Yes, Quistis. I do. Selphie set me up."

She nodded. "That's what she said.," she smiled. "She seemed pretty happy about it."

"I'm sure she was. She was the one who wanted to set me up."

"Are you?" Quistis asked, looking strait at him.

"Eh," he shrugged. "I honestly don't really know. More like I'm curious." Seifer looked thoughtful for a moment, before he just shook his head. Neither of them noticed Squall's scowl.

"Well. It's good to see you going out," she told him. She hadn't seen Seifer go out as much, except for his three dates he had this week. Other than that, he mostly just stayed in, either cooped up inside his room or just around Squall or Zell. He did need to get out more. Seifer use to always go out, now he just liked to stay in.

"I guess..." he trailed off, sighing.

She just shook her head. "So, where did Selphie go off to, anyway?"

"She went to find Zell," Seifer replied, nodding in the direction she had went off to. "Why?"

"Oh, no reason. I wanted to speak with her. It can wait, though." She thought, then added, "Why was she looking for Zell?"

"Probably for his date."

"Oh. She set him up, too," the blond instructor sighed.

"Yup," he nodded.

"Oh, well. I'll just catch up with her later. It wasn't anything important," the woman said.

They were silent for a moment. "So, where are you having your date at?"

"In Balamb," was his only answer.

"Balamb?" Squall, who had been silent up until now, asked.

"Yes... why?"

"No reason," Squall said with a shake of his head, some chocolate locks falling in front of his gray blue eyes, which he just moved with an expert flick of his hand.

The blond woman smiled. "Well, I hope you have fun."

That got him to roll his eyes. "Yeah... sure."

She chuckled at his answer. Then, a sigh was heard.

"Hey, Zell."

"Hey, guys," he nodded to them.

"I take it Selphie found you?" the taller blond queried.

"Yeah... she has a date for me."

"Did she tell you who?" Squall spoke up.

"Nahh. She told me I'd find out later," Zell said, frowning. "I hope this one won't be like the last time," he grimaced just thinking about it.

"Late time?" Quistis inquired, genuinely curious.

"Oh, didn't I tell you about that? She would not, not matter what, shut up. She just kept babbling on and on..."

"Oh."

"I couldn't even get a word in. Hyne," he gave a long sigh.

"Hn. That sounds like—" Squall was cut off from a look from Zell.

"I do NOT talk all the fuckin' time!" he huffed, offended that another one of his friends thought he talked a lot. Seifer opened his mouth to make a remark, but Zell cut him off. "Shut up, Seifer."

He shut his mouth, smiling.

"I wasn't going to say that..."

"Sure," he snorted.

Quistis smiled at the antics of those boys. "Zell, where is Selphie now?"

"Oh, she was going to go ask Irvine something."

"Okay. Well, I'll just go find her then."

"Later Quisty," Seifer nodded to her.

Squall nodded, to, but didn't say anything, he eyes were on Seifer.

"See ya later." He watched her walk off.

"Well, this has been fun an' all, but I really should be getting ready for my date," Seifer spoke, regarding both of his friends.

"Yeah, okay," the martial artist said, nodding. "Later, man," he waved. They both watched the older man walk off. Zell looked at Squall when Seifer disappeared. "You know, I think you need to go out, too. I mean, you're always working or some shit like that."

Squall starred at him for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm fine. I don't want to go out with anyone."

"You sure, man? I mean, you haven't been out with anyone since Rinoa left." Rinoa had left about a year ago; it was a mutual decision to separate, seeing as their relationship wasn't going anywhere. They did remain friends, though, and often talk on the phone.

"I just don't want to." Which was mostly true. He had no desire to go out.

"Okay," Zell backed of the subject, seeing Squall really didn't wanna talk about it.

"Hn..."

"How do you think Seifers' date will go?" he questioned instead.

"I don't know," the gunbladist suddenly frowned, appearing thoughtful, which he would always do. Then, he just shrugged, trying yo appear indifferent.

"I'm gonna head off now," the blond announced. "Mine's for tonight, too."

Squall nodded and then he walked off.
