Watching You

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Final Fantasy VIII

Sharem: This is just a simple story that I felt needed to be written and it’s my first Final Fantasy story ever. This time, the first part of the chapter is in Fuujin’s point of view and then in Selphie’s POV.

Watching You

Chapter 3

.:Fuujin’s POV:.


I kept my eye closed whenever that blond chicken-boy would come and visit me in the infirmary. I would admit that my heart skipped a beat every time he would come…but…I can’t confess that to him…or to myself. I am a strong woman! I don’t need a man to validate my existence! Sure, Seifer and Raijin are my friends, both of whom are undeniably male, but that doesn’t mean that I want a man to be in my life from the “til death do you part” shit. Marriage is just something to tie a woman down.

When I heard the door opened, I squeezed my eye shut. I did not want to see Dincht visit me again today. I turned away from whoever approached my bed.

“LEAVE!” I stated loudly in my most evil sounding voice. That usually would scare off anyone within twenty feet of me. That was when I heard an annoying giggled. Hyne, it was that hyper-girl, Selphie.

“Hiya Fuujin!” the brunette squealed as she plopped her body on a chair next to my bed. “You know, that voice doesn’t scare me.”

I decided to sit up and I glared at the petite girl with my one good eye. She had this look on her face that actually…frightened me. Her smile was as wide as a cat that was about to attack her prey. She definitely had something planned and I just know that I will NOT like it…

“You should talk to Zell,” Selphie remarked in a casual manner that I found irritating.

“EXPLAIN,” I demanded, my red eye boring into those green ones of the annoying girl. I did not have time for her games. All I wanted to do is heal.

Selphie grinned at me again. Hyne, what is that damn girl up to? “Look, I know ya like to talk in those one word sentences and they usually work for you.” That girl took in a deep breath and sighed loudly. “Zell hasn’t been feeling too happy because you don’t talk to him when he comes to visit…”

“STALKER!” I shouted as loud as I could.

“No he isn’t, Fuujin! Zell just really likes you!”

“WATCHES ME!”

“He watches you BECAUSE he likes you! He wants to make sure that you’re okay!”

“PERVERT!”

“That’s it! Zell is NOT a pervert!” Selphie shouted as she hit the edge of the bed with her fist; her green eyes flashing with something that made me cringe on the infirmary bed. “I have had enough of this! You! Zell! Date! No way are you getting out of it!”

“WHY?” I asked. I was still angry…but also, I was getting more curious. Mentally, I slapped myself for that.

Selphie tapped her index finger on her chin in a thoughtful manner. I’ve never known this girl to be the thoughtful type. “Give Zelly a chance, okay? Hyne knows that he deserves someone…even if that person is you. Look, I know that we aren’t friends but I just want him to be happy. If YOU make him happy, I’ll move heaven and hell to get you date him at least once.”

My eye opened in shock. I guess when the hyper brunette wants to be, she can be pretty serious. I never thought of her being the serious type…then again, look who is one of her friends: Squall, the Ice Prince as Seifer called him. I opened my mouth to say something when Selphie interrupted me.

“Zell is like a brother to me…he’s my best friend. At least try not to be your irritating self when you go on the date.”

Me? Irritating? I scowled at her choice of words and narrowed my eye at her. “AM NOT!” I protested as I crossed my arms over my chest.

Damn it! That girl just giggled and smirked at me. “So, this is what I’m going to do, Fuujin…I’ll set up the date for you and Zell for this Friday and Saturday.”

What? That date is an overnighter?

“I talked with Dr. Kadowaki earlier and she said that you will be released on Thursday. You know what that means, right?”

By the gods in heaven…I hope that didn’t mean what I think it meant…that look in Hyper-girl’s eyes. “Shit…” I whispered loud enough for her to hear.

“You, me, AND Rinoa will be going shopping! You need some girly things, Fuu. AND you need a makeover…maybe we’ll even get you a stylish new eyepatch…”

This was it…my worst fears had come true! Hyper-Girl and Bimbo were going to play dress up with ME as the doll! I felt like throwing up…Selphie actually called me Fuu! She better not call me ‘Little Bunny Fuu-Fuu’. The last person who called me that was never heard from ever again…however…

The more I thought about it…I wouldn’t mind it…Oh fuck it all! I’ll just get through that ‘date’ like any other mission I had been on…just grin and bear it. And also try not to think about what those two women are going to do to me…I would cry if I was the crying type.

.:Selphie’s POV:.

This is soooo great! I got that cold fish, Fuujin, to agree to go on a date with Zell! Well, I didn’t really give her a chance to say no. .:giggles:. I think that deep down inside, she really likes my Zelly-poo. I feel like bouncing off of the walls of the Garden’s hallways because of my wondrous achievement. So I did! I squealed with insane glee. I am SOOO good at being Balamb Garden’s bestest matchmaker!

I giggled as I made my way to the cafeteria when lo and behold! I spotted my ever-so-HOT boyfriend, one Irvine Kinneas, standing in line to get some grub. I decided to sneak on my boy-toy; I wanted to see if I could scare my cowboy. I tiptoed behind him, reached out with my hand and then…

“Fucking hell!” Irvine screamed as I pinched his butt hard. Damn, he has such a nice, tight one. He then turned around quickly and glared at me. “Selphie, what was that for?”

I giggled and gave him a peck on his cheek. “Because…I just felt like it.” Irvine just shook his head and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I knew he really wasn’t mad; if he were, he wouldn’t have pulled me in close. I giggled again and that drew my boyfriend’s down to me again.

“Selphie,” Irvine began slowly, “what do you have planned?”

What? Do I always have something planned? Well, I do try to make people happy and I really want Zelly to be happy. So with that in mind, I gave Irvy my most innocent smile.

“What makes you think that I’m up to something?”

Before Irvine could answer my question, I was saved by the appearance of my bestest friend, Zell! I waved him over to our spot in the line and gave him a huge hug. I got some great news for ya, Zelly,” I grinned happily and then gave Irvine my cutest puppy-dog face. “Irvine, sweetie, can you get Zell some hotdogs? I’ll eat whatever you pick out. I need to talk to Zell for a moment, okay?” I then batted my eyelashes at him.

Irvine sighed and then shook his head, like he was humoring me or something. That was when he gave me that megawatt smile of his. It made me weak in the knees and my legs felt like rubber. I ain’t gonna tell him that…well, not until later tonight… .:giggles:.

“Alright darlin’. This just means that you owe me.” He then gave me a quick and passionate kiss before I pulled Zell away.

I watched the love of my life continue down the line to get our lunch and then turned to look up at my best friend. I smiled happily at him and led him the table I usually share with Irvine.

“I got some great news for you, Zelly-poo,” I began as I made that tattooed blonde sit down. I began giggling maniacally and then Zell got a frightened look on his face. I wonder why…

“Um…what’s up, Selphie?” he asked…hmmm…his voice sounded a little shaky.

“Remember the other day when I said that I’m gonna get you a date with Fuujin if it’s the last thing you do?”

Zell bit his bottom lip as he nodded…aww…he’s so adorable when he does that. Hey, he looked like he just gulped or something…

“Well, I just came from the medical wing and talk with Fuujin.”

“You WHAT?!?”

I grinned at Zell. “You and Fuujin are going on an overnighter-type of date.” I could see the sweat forming on his forehead.

“Huh?”

“You and Fuujin. Date. Doctor Kadowaki said that Fuujin is going to be released from the infirmary this Thursday. Rinoa and I are going to take her to do some shopping in Balamb. Make sure you have clothes packed and bring a good suit or something. Those romance cruises out into the bay don’t allow jeans at dinner; it’s almost formal. Trust me…when Irvy and I went out on one cruise, we found out the hard way.”

Whoa…there was more sweat on Zelly’s forehead now. “Selphie…will Fuujin and I have separate cabins?” he asked hesitantly. He then cringed when he saw my face.

“Heh heh…I got you two a cabin, Zell, with ONE huge honkin’ bed! That way, you and Fuu can hump like rabbits.”

I heard a thump and saw that Zell had fainted. I wonder why…

AN: Yeah, I know…it’s been a long time since I last updated this story. It’s been almost exactly a year now… .:sweatdrops:. However, it seems that I only write on this story when I am having problems with my other ones…Oh well. .:sheepish grin:. Hopefully, I’ll have an update soon on my other stories and get back to this one quickly. BTW, I want to thank all of those who have reviewed this story before….:smiles and hugs:.
