Schwarz Mitternacht

In the make shift hospital, Zell is jolted awake suddenly as a pair of nurses attempt to splint and straighten his leg. Bones crack and shift as they get Zell's leg in the right position to splint.

Zell: AHhhhhhhgggggggg! S-stop! P-please! *Screams out in pain as he tries to get away from the nurses.*

The nurses quickly elevate Zell's leg in a sling to keep him more comfortable. "We are sorry, but we have almost no ether left. It has to be saved for the most severely injured soldiers. I will tell the doctor to give you morphine to make you more comfortable."

Zell: Give Zechs some of the ether, please.. You don't have to waste it on me. And thank you, please give it as soon as you can.. *Closes his eyes as he tries to fight the pain.*

One of the nurses gives Zell a glass of water. "He is still in surgery right now, I'll tell you when he's awake."

Zell: *Greedily drinks the water, sighing in pleasure as it slides down his throat.* Thank you and please do, I..need to know he's alright..

The nurse smiles sweetly at Zell, but she is rushed off again when yet another soldier comes in on a gurney with a head injury.

Zell: *Sighs as he tries to get comfortable but fails from the pain.* (I've never hurt so bad before in my life.. I hope the doctor comes soon with the Morphine!)

The soldier that just arrived begins to shout at the nurses in a familiar voice. Zell's ears quickly perk up to make sure he isn't having auditory hallucinations.

Was machst Du da für Scheiße? Hurensohn!

Zell: (Is..it can't be.. But I know that voice, I've been hearing it in my dreams even though I don't want too! I..don't think I am ready to see him, I don't want him to see me like this!) *Turns his face away from the voice.*

The nurses attempt to clean the soldier's wound across his nose and forehead, clearing away dirt and an imbedded piece of metal. "We're just trying to clean your wound. It's infected."

"Scheißdreck!" The soldier shouts.

Zell: (Damn it!) Stop being an asshole, you bastard and let them do their job! *He yells at the soldier.*

The soldier tries to take a swing at one of the nurses cleaning the wound from not completely being in his right mind. "He must have a concussion." The nurses restrain the soldier while a few male doctors arrive to use physical restraints. They inject the soldier with a sedative to calm him.

Zell: *Sighs, a little upset.* (Could..it not be him? He didn't react to my voice..Or..does he dislike me that much now? God, I need those drugs..)

The soldier almost immediately calms down enough for the doctors to work on his wound. They successfully clean, stitch and bandage the wound before moving on to Zell.

Zell: Thank you... Is..that soldier going to be alright?

"He has a concussion. He doesn't even know who he is right now, do you happen to know him?" The nurse asks while she injects Zell's IV with morphine.

Zell: I..may if it is who I think it is, I haven't looked at him.. (I'm not sure if I want to..) *Moans as the morphine begins to take some of the pain away.*

"He's a little bandaged up right now, so you may not recognize him." The nurse steps to the side, out of Zell's line of sight so he can see the soldier across the room.

Zell: No, it's okay..I..don't think I want to see yet. Could I have another glass of water, if you have time..

"I'm assigned to you today, I'll bring some water and food out for you." The nurse sighs. "You know...you must be that soldier's best friend. He was asking for "Zell" before he came in here, and Zell is your first name. I...know how you feel. I wouldn't want to see my best friend in pain."

Zell: Thank you, Miss. *Looks in shock at the nurse.* He..asked for..me? *Shyly looks over and gasps at the sight of the soldier, his lover Seifer. His heart cries in pain before he quickly turns away, biting back tears.* (I may be mad at him, but I never wanted him hurt!)

"I heard him earlier. We just couldn't tend to him right away because we didn't have enough room. He's been here since early this morning."

Zell: What? But he out ranks me, why did you tend to me when he's been here so long?

"Your injury was far more severe. The doctors thought we would have to amputate your leg. If we went by rank, many more men would have passed. I've been taking care of men who have the most severe injuries first. Your friend was lower risk than you." The nurse sighs deeply. "We've had a lot of amputees today...You never get used to that sort of thing, especially when you see the young ones."

Zell: Oh..Thank you for..I don't know what I would of done if you cut it, I need to be able to work! *Shakes a bit, not knowing how bad he truely was.* I..guess carrying the General here didn't help my leg..

"No, but...everyone is glad that you brought General Peacecraft back safely. And yes...you were very close to being amputated, if the swelling did not subside, then you would not have a leg right now."

Zell: I couldn't let him die, he is one of the only things that have kept me going in the camp.. It was god, ma'am.. He must of been watching over me.

"You may call me Fräulein Elfi. I'll be taking care of you while you're here..." Elfi smiles and quickly walks off to bring Zell water and food.

Zell: It is nice to meet you, Elfi.. *Watches as she walks away, sighing as he wipes his eyes.*

Elfi returns quickly with another glass of water and a tray of cold mashed potatoes, carrots, and beef. "I apologies for the food being cold..." Elfi straightens out her chestnut brownish-red hair from rushing through the hospital.

Zell: Thank you and it's no problem, I'll eat anything! *Takes a drink before he begins to eat his food, his stomach craving it.*

"I still apologies. We've been short on staff." Elfi turns her head slightly and spots one of her male patients in a wheel chair peering around the corner with longing eyes. His bright blonde hair and piercing blue eyes stand out from the rest.

Zell: I'm fine with cold food and.. I think someone wants you, you can go to him. Those drugs have taken alot of the pain away and this food is amazing! *Smiles softly at her, knowing the look in the man's eye.*

"Oh..." Elfi moves closer to Zell so she can whisper. "He's one of our young amputees...Cloud. I've become fond of him."

Zell: Oh? He's grown fond of you as well, I..know that look in his eyes. (It's..how Seifer looks at me, he..really does care for me..) You can go to him, or he can come here..

"He's a double leg amputee. It's time to change his bandages, so I have to go to him. I'll be back when it's time for your medicine." Elfi quietly walks off to tend to Cloud. She holds onto Cloud's wheel chair and pushes him past Zell. Cloud and Zell catch each other's eye. Cloud cracks a small smile at Zell before being wheeled away to have his bandages changed for his legs.

Zell: (At least someone has the one they love.. He looks at her like she is his world, am I Seifer's world? I wish he would wake up soon.) *Looks sadly over at Seifer, wishing he could hold him.*

Zell overhears Cloud's groans of pain as his bandages are changed. Shortly after, Elfi wheels Cloud back out to feed him. Elfi kneels in front of Cloud to hold his tray of food, knowing he is still not able to eat by himself. Cloud shakes in pain as he eats a spoonful of potatoes from Elfi's caring hand.

Zell: (I feel for him, I'm crying over my pain and he has it worse then me. I would like to talk with him, he looks my age.) *Smiles softly as he watches them, the sight of young love warming his heart.*

Cloud finishes his meal and smiles at Elfi as she gives Cloud several pills. Cloud takes his medicine and waits for Elfi to return to her rounds before he wheels himself to where Zell is laying down.

Zell: *Finishes meal and drink before he look over at Cloud, smiling softly.* Hello, I think Elfi said your name was Cloud? Sorry if I'm wrong.

Cloud: That's my name. *He moves closer to Zell in his wheel chair.* Elfi...is amazing.

Zell: She seems very nice, she has helped me and my friends. I can tell you love her.

Cloud: Well, she's been taking care of me. Once I'm well enough, I want to take her out on a date.

Zell: I happen to know she is fond of you as well. *Smiles at Cloud.* And I think she'd love that! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zell.

Cloud: Zell... *He holds out his hand for Zell to shake.* I saw that you looked lonely, I know how it feels to be all alone here.

Zell: Yeah.. I'm worried for both of my friends, Seifer is still unconscious and the General.. He's still in surgery.

Cloud: Peacecraft... I hope he makes it through. He was my General before...this happened to me. *He looks down at his legs, both amputated above the knee.*

Zell: I work under him at the camp, he is one of my closet friends.. I..almost didn't get him here in time. He was ready to give up, he blames himself for everything that happened.

Cloud: He...must have been almost dead.

Zell: He was..*Looks down.* I'm praying he'll be okay, I can't face telling his family.

Cloud: What happened to him? *He looks at Zell with worry.*

Zell: He was shot twice in the shoulder.. He said he was laying out there for hours before I found him. His..friend died in his arms, I worry he won't want to live.

Cloud: He's...going to be going through a lot. But...if they saved my life, then I have to believe that Zechs can be saved.

Zell: I don't think he would leave his bride or his servants.. I just keep praying he will make it, because I don't think I'll make it without him either. *Sighs sadly, laying back in his bed.*

Cloud: No, that's not like him. I think Zechs is fighting to stay here.

Zell: He better or I'll bring him back from death! *Chuckles softly.* Thank you for talking to me.

Cloud: Don't worry. You can come talk to me any time. I still have a while before I'm released.

Zell: I will when I can get my foot out of this sling, I..messed it up carrying Zechs.. But I'll try, Cloud!

Cloud: If they give you a wheel chair, which they most likely will, you can come and see me. Did you break your leg? *He wheels himself close to Zell's leg to look at Zell's injury.*

Zell: If they do, then I will find you. And I got shot in my leg and it made me fall and my feet were stuck in the mud and my ankle broke..

Cloud: *He shakes his head, feeling Zell's pain.* Were you trapped? Or were you able to help yourself out?

Zell: I had to dig my boot out and then had to walk.. Hate is what kept me going, hate and worry..

Cloud: I...usually don't like to talk about how I was injured...But I'll tell you. I was pinned under a humvee.

Zell: Oh god.. I'm so sorry, Cloud. I can't imagine that..You are very lucky, I'm glad you are still here.

Cloud: They said...my legs were rubber. I had no bone left to splint. But, I'm glad to have my life. If they would have decided to not take away my legs, I wouldn't be able to walk anyway.

Zell: Yes, and you wouldn't of met Elfi none of it happened.. *Smiles softly at Cloud, letting out a soft yawn.* Oh, sorry.

Cloud: I know the drugs make you tired. You'll build up a tolerance, but I'll let you rest. You'll need it.

Zell: I'm sorry, I would like to talk to you more.. I've never been on any type of drugs before, so I guess I'll be tired alot? *Rubs his eyes, shifts on the bed.* I'll see you around?

Cloud: Yes, it's better that way. Your body needs sleep to heal. I'll be around. *He waves to Zell and smiles as he wheels himself back to his room, only seperated by a curtain.*

Zell: See you later, Cloud.. *Yawns again as he closes his eyes, falling into a drugged sleep.

Zell sleeps for another six hours from the exhaustion of the day's events. Elfi arrives to wake Zell to give him his next dose of medicine and give him news. "Herr Dincht, I'd hate to wake you, but it's time for your medicine. I have news about Zechs as well."

Zell: Huh? Oh, Elfi.. What, is he okay? *Goes to sit up but is stopped by the pain.* Ughh...You came at the right time..

Elfi: I have it timed exactly. *She gives Zell his dose of intravenous morphine.* Your friend just came out of surgery, he is in recovery now.

Zell: You're very good at your job, thank you.. *Sighs as the meds start to work.* He is okay? Will he live?

Elfi: There...that feels better, doesn't it? *She smiles as she sees the relief on Zell's face.* I was told that Zechs should recover fully. This place has been busy with visitors ever since the General came out of surgery.

Zell: Oh? Could..I go see him soon? Please.. *Looks up hopefully at her.*

Elfi: I will see what I can arrange. Zechs is still asleep. I believe it will be best to wait until the morning.

Zell: Oh, I understand.. Has Seifer woke yet? *Looks over at his lover, frowns when he sees him stll passed out.*

Elfi: No, but he should be awake soon once the drugs wear off.

Zell: I hope so.. *Looks back at her.* I talked to Cloud, he's very nice.

Elfi: He is a kind man...

Zell: He is, you have found a good man. *Smiles at her.* And..he is very taken with you

Elfi: You're making me blush! *Her cheeks blush slightly at the thought of Cloud enjoying her company.*

Zell: I can't help if it's the truth, he cares for you alot. *Pulls his blanket up more to cover himself.*

Elfi: Thank you for telling me... Hm? *She looks over her shoulder as she hears Seifer's groans from waking up.* Let's hope he doesn't take a swing at me this time... *She walks quietly over to Seifer, ready to give him a dose of morphine for pain.* How are you feeling, Herr Almasy?

Zell: He shouldn't, I hope.. *Watches Elfi, looking to make sure Seifer is alright.* (It looks like the swelling in his face has gone down..)

Seifer groans in pain burning from his forehead. His eyes open an focus on the nurse above him.

Seifer: What...am I doing in the hospital?

Elfi: You were injured in battle, we had to sedate so we could fix you up. You have been asleep for seven hours now, I'll give you something for the pain. *Injects Seifer with morphine.*

Seifer: Fuck...me. *He leans his head back and sighs, not knowing how he became injured in the first place.*

Elfi: Let that kick in, are you thirsty? Or hungry? *Pulls up Seifer's blanket before she checks his bandages.*

Seifer: I'm thirsty, I usually have a beer about this time at home. I know you won't give me that here.

Elfi: *Chuckles softly.* No, I'm sorry I can't give you that.. I'll be right back with a glass of water for you. And it looks like I need to change your bandages. *Smiles softly at Seifer before she walks away.*

Seifer: Give me something... *His eyes focus on the room around him and notices Zell laying in a hospital bed not too far away.* Is...that you, Zell? *He calls out, unsure if his mind may be playing a trick on him.*

Zell: Y-yeah, it's me.. I..was worried about you, I was pissed but I didn't want you hurt..

Seifer: Damn it, Zell. I know I was supposed to meet up with you. I was sent out early. I...only remember riding in the humvee. I don't know what the hell happened to me.

Zell: S-so..I didn't scare you with..what I said? And I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to you either. Other then you hurt your head..

Seifer: N...no. it didn't. *He shakes his head as he remembers that Zell said he thought he was in love.* Sorry...my mind is still not very clear.

Zell: It's alright, you're still alive and that's all that matters.. *Smiles sadly at Seifer, reaching his arm out as if trying to touch him.*

Seifer: Hold on, I'll come over there after I get my glass of water... *He gives Zell a rare smile.*

Zell: No, you don't have too. You're still hurt.. *Blushes at Seifer's smile, his body heats up from it being shown to him.* You have a beautiful smile..

Seifer: Shut up...fat ass leg. *He hums with relief as he sees Elfi walk in with his water.*

Zell: Shut up yourself.. Ugly face! *Sticks his tongue out at Seifer with a smile.*

Elfi: Hey now, no fighting in front of a lady. *Smiles at both of them before she hands Seifer a glass of water.*

Seifer: Hmph... *He smirks as he drinks his water.* Miss...do you think you can move me next to my friend?

Elfi: You shouldn't move to much with head trauma..but I could move your bed closer to your friend, after I change your bandages.. I know how you brothers in arms feel for each other.. *Smiles sweetly at them before she begins to take off the soiled bandages.*

Zell: Thank you, Elfi. It..will help having a friend close, since it will be awhile before I can see Zechs..

Seifer: Don't do it so fast! *He groans as Elfi changes his bandages.*

Elfi: I'm sorry, I will go slower.. *Looks sadly at Seifer as she slowly takes off the soiled bandages before putting some ointment on the wound and wraps him back up.*

Seifer: God...damn it. *He hisses in pain as Elfi touches his wound.*

Zell: She's not meaning to hurt you, Seifer! Give her a break. *Smiles at Elfi, letting her know it's normal.*

Elfi: Don't worry, I've heard much worse. Poor Cloud would of made a priest blush with all he screamed.. *Finishes the bandage and smiles softly.* All done, let me get some help to move the bed. *Takes the dirty bandages and runs off to find someone.*

Zell: The Morphine should start working, it's helped me.. (I wish he didn't get hurt! I want to kiss his pain away.)

Seifer: Yeah...but I've had morphine before. It takes longer to work for me.

Zell: Oh..I'm sorry, I've never had it before. It works right away. *Looks sadly over at Seifer, wishing more than anything that he could hold him.*

After minute, Elfi comes back with another nurse and they move Seifer's bed closer to Zell.

Elfi: There, you two can even shake hands. I have to go check on my other patients but I will be back in a bit. *Smiles at both of them before she leaves.*

Seifer: That's better. I don't have to shout across the room. *He turns his body to face Zell and reaches his hand through the metal bars of Zell's bed to touch his arm.*

Zell: Much better.. *Smiles softly as he holds onto Seifer's hand.* I'm glad you're okay, I wouldn't of made it without you.. You kept your promise.

Seifer: We both could have died. I think...that's why they put so many inexperienced men out there today.

Zell: They..wanted us to die.. *Looks down, shaking lightly.* I wasn't going to, I'm not ready to go yet and I can't. *Chuckles softly.* Wanting to confront you made me keep walking.

Seifer: Do you still want to confront me? Hm?

Zell: No, I know you feel the same for me.. I'm just happy you are alive. *Makes sure the curtain is closed before he strokes Seifer's hand with his thumb.*

Seifer: I do care about you. *He whispers, not wanting anyone to hear him but Zell.*

Zell: I know, I care for you as well.. I thought of you the whole time here.. I..wish we could hold each other, I..need you so much right now.

Seifer: I would try...but your big ass leg would be in my way. *He smirks with his smart mouth at Zell.*

Zell: My big ass leg saved the General, you should be bowing to it yo! *Sighs, holding on tighter to Seifer's hand.* And..I almost lost it, so I don't care how big it is!

Seifer: I don't even know if I can stand without getting dizzy. *He holds his head with his other hand, cradling his head.*

Zell: Don't, you don't need to stand. I want you to get better soon, so you can take care of me till I heal! *Smirks.* And..if you want the special day to happen I think I will have to live in your house till I am fully healed as well.

Seifer: That's right...but. *He moves is bed ever closer to Zell.* I still want to kiss you. *He leans over and gives Zell a hot kiss.*

Zell: Mmm..*Moans softly into the kiss, missing the sweet taste of Seifer's lips.* I..never want to leave you..

Seifer: Don't strain yourself. *He pulls the bars on the side of Zell's bed down so he can touch Zell.*

Zell: *Hisses softly at being moved.* Just..hold me, let me know you're here.. *Looks lovingly into Seifer's eyes, still worked up from the day.*

Seifer: Will you be staying awake? *He says, slightly dazed against Zell's sheets.*

Zell: I..don't know, I may pass out again. But I just want to know you are here with me, I didn't lose you..

Seifer: If...someone sees us like this...they won't be able to prove anything. That is what I was sort of worried about.

Zell: Oh, right.. I'm sorry, so much has happened I'm not really in the right mind.. I..I almost lost my leg, I would of been sent home and my Ma would of died because I couldn't pay the doctors for her treatment.. And then you..*Shakes away the tear that falls.*

Seifer: I don't care anymore...*He looks up at Zell through his bandages.*

Zell: I..wonder when we can go back to the camp.. *Sadly laughs.* I actually miss it compared to this place..I want to be in your room.

Seifer: It's lonely in here...and the white walls make it feel icy cold.

Zell: Very, and..we can't show each other..what we feel here.. I hope we all can leave soon, with Zechs.*Brings Seifer's hand up and kisses it.*

Seifer: Zechs is not my General. I am selfish, and when you are released, all I want is you. You will be mine.

Zell: He's mine though.. And I just want him at his home, I didn't carry him for a mile for him to die here. And you'll have me, Seifer.. Forever..

Seifer: Damn right... *He begins to close his eyes, the medicine finally beginning to kick in.*

Zell: Go to sleep, Seifer..I will join you there. *Smiles softly and holds on tighter to Seifer's hand before he closes his own eyes.

They wake up the next morning, still holding each other's hands to the sound of the curtain being pulled open. Zell quickly lets go of Seifer's hand before he rubs his eyes, groans in pain.

Zell: Ugh..I think it's time for more morphine.

Seifer: These lights...are too damn bright.*He keeps his eyes closed, his eyes struggling to adjust.*

Elfi: Good morning both of you, I have your breakfast and something to help with the pain. *Smiles as she walks over, giving them both their trays of food before she injects the Morphine in their IV bags.*

Zell: Good morning, Elfi.. Thank you for everything! *Takes a drink of water before he starts to eat, his stomach growling at the smell.*

Seifer: The food is hot...Mm. *He leans forward to eat his meal.* Why...is everyone else still asleep? Did you wake us up for a reason?

Elfi: Well, I meant to wake up just Herr Dincht but I knew you would wake up being so close to him. I believe you are getting a medal for your bravery! *Smiles at Zell.*

Zell: W-what? Why? I..did nothing special.. *Looks down with a light blush.*

Seifer: A medal? *He looks over at Zell, smiling slightly.*

Elfi: Yes, he carried General Peacecraft here for over a mile with a bullet in his thigh and a broken ankle! He is the reason our great General is alive!

Zell: Please, it wasn't anything special.. He is a good friend, anyone else would of done the same. *Blushes more at Seifer's smile.*

Seifer: They're probably going to give you an Iron Cross. *He smiles slightly again.*

Zell: But..*Sighs.* There's nothing I can do to get out of this, is there? *Plays with the food on his plate, not used to all the attention.*

Elfi: No, you're going to get it no matter what! Now hurry and eat, they will be here any moment!

Seifer stares over at Zell, watching him nervously eat.

Zell: (I'm honored..But I don't need it, I did what any man would.. Seifer should get this, he is the soldier..) *Shyly look over and sees Seifer watching him.* What are you looking at, scar face?

Seifer: I'm looking over at your fat leg. *He smirks and takes a bite of his food.*

Zell: This fat leg can kiss your ass! Make your face even more messed up. *Smirks back at him, taking a bite of the thick bacon.*

Seifer: My face? It's better looking than yours.

Zell: No way, I know I'm good looking! *Smirks back, picks up a small piece of eggs and throws it at Seifer.* I'm a hero, you should treat me nicer.

Seifer: Hell no. You're the biggest ass hole I know. Du bist ein Schwanz.

Zell: No, you're the biggest asshole. *Finishes his meal, patting his full stomach.* That hit the spot, and..I wish you were getting this..I don't deserve it..

Seifer: Maybe I'll steal your medal? *He eats his now cold eggs.*

Zell: I'll give it to you, so you always have something to remember me by! *Rests back in his bed.*

Seifer: You do have something to remember me by. I was the first one who pleasured your ass.

Zell: Seifer! *Blushes hard, shifts in the bed.* Must you talk like that when we're in here! *Plays with the blankets.*

Seifer: No one else is around right now. You know it's true, I am the only one who has made you feel good with a man.

Zell: And you make me want to live, you..make me want to smile all the time. *Smiles as he looks at Seifer wit love in his eyes.* I wish I could move in with you..

Seifer: You'll need a place to stay until you're healed. You can stay with me then.

Zell: Sounds good, I can stay in the living room while you're at work, then you can carry me to the room when you get home.

Seifer: Well, I won't move you until it's time to sleep. What if I want to stay downstairs with you?

Zell: That's fine, I enjoy your living room, I can bring some of my books to read.. And we can listen to the radio.

Seifer: You know...you can watch my television as well. I'm not going to say anything.

Zell: Really? You don't mind? I've..never actually watched one before, we were too poor.. *Looks over excited at Seifer, his eyes filled with a childish wonderment.*

Seifer: *He whispers softly so only Zell can hear.* You're my man...and you're welcome to my home.

Zell: And you would be welcome to mine if..I had one, well you are welcome to my family one. Ma would love to meet you.. *Smiles softly.* I can't wait till we are at your home..

Seifer: Why? What are we going to do once we're at my home?

Zell: We don't have to whisper or hide, we can be ourselves. And it won't be as depressing as here. *Sighs, shifting again in the bed.* I have to piss..

Seifer: *He nods in agreement.* You'll have to hold it for now. They'll probably give you a bed pan

Zell: I don't know how much longer I can hold it, I'm about to burst! *Bites on his lower lip, doing his best to hold it in.*

Seifer: If you try to get up, you're going to hurt yourself.

Zell: I know, I really..fucked my leg up.. *Chuckles softly.* Think they will still give me the medal if I piss myself?

Seifer: Well...if you end up pissing yourself, they'll have to get you out of bed and bathe you.

Zell: Then they better hurry, or this bed will become very dirty soon.. *Reaches down to hold onto his penis, doing his best to hold it.*

Elfi: *Smiles as she pushes the curtains open, holding two bed pans in her hands.* I over heard you about the bed pans, I'm sorry about that. It can't believe it slipped my mind! *Walks over and helps Zell lift up so she can put it underneath him before doing the same to Seifer.* I'll be back in a minute, I know gentlemen don't like to do this infront of ladies.

Zell: Oh, thank god! *Sighs as he releases his bladder into the bed pan, letting out some pent up body gas.*

Seifer: *He releases his bladder as well, loving the relief.* Ugh...fuck me. I..forgot I even needed to piss. *He sits back as he relieves himself and finds himself looking over at Zell.*

Zell: I never knew how good it would feel to piss. *Closes his eyes as he fills the bed pan, the sound of it hitting the metal of it echoes around.* Damn, I didn't think I drank that much..

Seifer: You haven't pissed for a good 12 hours, there's going to be a lot. *He continues to watch Zell relieve himself.*

Zell: *Shivers as he finishes a minute later, blushes when he notices Seifer looking at him.* Am..I that interesting, Seifer?

Seifer: Oh...very interesting. *He smirks slightly at Zell.*

Zell: Oh god, you really are a..*Stops when he sees Elfi walk back in to collect the bed pans.* We're finished, Elfi..

Elfi: I thought so with all the talking. *Grabs both of the bed pans, making sure not to spill anything in it.* I'll be back after I clean these! *Carefully walks away.*

Seifer: And...what were you going to say, Zell? Tell me.

Zell: You really are a pissman, I bet you would of loved it if I did wet myself! I thought you just liked pissing on people, not other people's pee!

Seifer: Maybe...Well, shit... *He hides his emerging erection under his hospital gown and sheets.*

Zell: Oh my god, Seifer! Are you..did my pissing really turn you on that much? *Whispers so only Seifer can hear, his face blush red.*

Seifer: What do you think? Hm?

Zell: But..You've seen me before, why didn't you get turned on then? I.. I'm sorry, I've never known anything like this before. *Blushes harder, not able to keep his eyes from Seifer's 'tent'.*

Seifer: It depends...on a few things. Part of it is from the drugs I'm sure. I do like pissing on men...

Zell: *His whole body turns red at the thought of Seifer peeing on him, turns his face from him.* Y-you..would like to..piss on me? Like..you do to those in the camp?

Seifer: If you would want me to...

Zell: I..don't know, you do it to degrade them.. I don't want to be something to degrade, but..if you want to do it out of..love then I guess I could try it with you..

Seifer: I won't degrade you. We can talk about this later, when we're alone...

Zell: Thank you.. And alright, that sounds good. I think I hear footsteps.. *Looks to make sure he looks alright.* You may want to hide that if it's them!

Seifer: I...can't exactly "hide" this. *He moves his legs up and places his erection in between his legs.*

Zell: Do your best, Seifer.. *Sits up a bit as the curtain is drawn open.*

Several Nazi officials approach Zell and honor him for saving Zechs from death. They all shake hands with Zell with a smile while the last official presents Zell with a Knight's Cross, a higher award than a regular Iron Cross. The award is decorated with encrusted diamonds surrounding a deep navy cross with a Swastika in the middle. The Knight's Cross is handed over to Zell with joy and pride, all of the men honored that they have met the young man that saved a great general.

Zell: *Looks in awe at the Knight's cross, his hands shake as he holds it.* (They are honored to meet me? I'm just a priest's son from a small town. I don't deserve something like this, it's worth more than our land!) I..I don't know what to say.. Thank you, sirs..

The officials nod towards Zell while smiling. They pat Zell on the shoulder and wish him a speedy recovery before leaving.

Zell: Thank you, sirs! With the fine nurses and doctors in our army I should be healed in no time. *Smiles at them, his finger running over the diamonds.* (I've..never felt a diamond before.)

Seifer: Congratulations... *He smirks with pride at Zell.*

Zell: *Looks over, almost forgetting his lover was there.* I've..never held anything this nice before, you could buy my family's land and still have enough money left over to eat on for a year! *Looks in awe at it.*

Seifer: Be honored to wear it... It shows your strength.

Zell: I will, I am honored to get it.. I'm just not used to this attention, it's..awkward. *Puts on the Knight's Cross, fixing his collar over it.*

Seifer: It suits you...It looks good on you.

Zell: It would suit you more.. *Looks down at it, still amazed he even got it.* You gave me the strength to keep living, Seifer. *Turns to look at Seifer with a loving smile.*

Seifer: I'm...decorated enough. Ugh. *He groans softly in pain as his forehead burns.*

Zell: Rest, I think I will as well. Those drugs take it out of me.. *Reaches his hand through the bars, grabbing Seifer's hand.*

Seifer: I need some sleep...a beer, and a cigarette. *He closes his eyes.* Those...are the first things I'm going to have when I get home.

Zell: That sounds wonderful, we will as soon as we get home.. *Looks around to make sure no one is to close and whispers.* I..love you, Seifer..
