Sweet Bliss

Chp 4 I have no claim to the ff8 characrers. I just used them in silly or screwed up fanfics. " Sweet Bliss " By Poison and Tina Chapter 4 There are couple cars infront of the building. One oddly close to the wall and gives tall people chance to climb to the roof if need be. Laguna smiles a bit... though he has been suppressing his feeling of unease that just won't seem to go away. After he steps out some people come from the building itself dressed like they work there. One noted scietist that even seifer might reconize is with them. Just then a shot sound off. it seems to be coming from the far corner of the roof. Laguna of course takes cover as the men also help try to sheild him. Seifer glances round, noting Laguna is pretty much well covered he begins to jog towards the car parked near the wall, he vaults himself up on top of the roof of the car in one go and begins to pull himself up onto the roof. He lands with a thud on top of the roof and looks around. The group Usher Lagiuna into the buidling now. The sniper then seems to hide behide a part of the roof as he takes pop shots at seifer.. it seems he lost interest in the president. He is wearing cncealing dark clothes so hard to get what he looks like. Seifer dives quickly behind a large water tank and considers his options. This man can shoot long distance, he requires to move in close in order to attack effectivly, and he is not stocked up on any magic as he prefers not to use it. He decides to confront the man head on and leaps out from behind his water tank shield and runs across the roof as fast as he can. The man takes one task shot though it is wild and the obvoiously isn't a fighter because he then does something dumb and takes off running along the roof top. Weird that this isn't the actions of a professional who would have sat calmly and just shiot siefer as he tran so oepn at him. Seifer smirks a little, realising this person is merely an amature he speeds up in pursuit of this person as obviously they do not need killing so much as questioning. He suspects a lackey of some sort for a higher order, but then again Seifer's a bit of a conspirasist obesessee. The man runs to the highest part of the rooftop. and turns to face seifer, trying to get one last stop oiff though he tetters on the ledge dangeroiusly. maybe if he wasn't excited or paniced he would be a great shot. Seifer panics a little as the man begins to wobble. "Watch out!" he yells though he doesn't know why. He runs faster now for a different reason, he's worried about the other person falling. He stops nearby and holds up his hand slowly. "Don't shoot and I won't hurt you, just climb down from there, I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone," Man looks surprised... Shakes his head and being not sane in the first place, seifer could see it from his eyes, decided to try to jump for it anyway. Too bad he can't fly but laughs all the way down proposly trying to land in his neck. Seifer runs quickly to the edge, skidding near it and peering over as the man falls. He knows he can't do anything but he feels like an idiot anyway for not just catching the man instead of giving him a chance to come nicely. Laguna was inside and being dragged away from the windows to as aside room. The nboted scietisits went off to get the center;s guards moving.. cpmplaining he had better things to do then make them work. laguna is left with some of the men. He didn;t tell seifer he actualy did bring small fire arm he kept under his coat. just then one of the men pulls out a gun,,, shooting three men with laguna. Laguna qucikly pulls out his gun as the man gets done with 3rd man. Without hesitating he fires at the man but the man staggers back as he is shot, shooting his gun with same crazied energy as the other man. Laguna staggers againts the wall, not having the same crazied energy that can make a man shoot til he is full of lead. Shot in the chest and shoulder. his assqsin shot in the stomach, he grins as he takes aim at him.. 2nd man shot grabs his leg in last bit of energy making him trip up and laguna shoots him in the head. About then gaurds exit the building to find the first would be assasin because they think the president is safe. Seifer hears the gun shots which seem to be happening beneath him. He runs over to the wall with the car and leaps down onto it, landing with a thud and leaping onto the ground quickly afterwards. He stumbles a little as he tries to carry on running straight after landing. He picks himself up and runs into a few guards which seem to be exiting. "Where the hell are you going?" He snaps angrilly. "The president you idiots, there's a guy in there firing shots and you come out here? Where's Laguna?" Guard , "In a side cofernce room, number 3.... " Some of them go to see the body make sure it is dead while 4 of the guards go to the room where laguna is ccurrently. Bust the door down to see the after5math.. laguna sitting up againts the wall. looking down at his irt with has blood and he was thinking how much he liked that shirt. Seifer follows the guards going to Laguna, and when he sees the president he panics immediately. "Oh my God, he's been shot, oh God Laguna are you okay?" he runs over to the other man and kneels down infront of him, his hands shaking a little as he opens up the man's ruined shirt. "I'm so sorry, I messed up on my first day, I'm sorry Laguna," he mumbles as he stares in anger at the bullet holes in the president's chest. "I'm gonna kill whoever's done this, I swear to God." Laguna in obvoius shock, "Umm.. calm down seifer.... I think he is dead already.. oh it is my blood.. explains all that pain... " Then it hits him and he passes out. the guards get the local medical man to the room as two stand guard at the door. The medical guy comes in and shoves Seifer outta the way, since he knows jack about fixing people up. Seifer hovers on the side as the medical guy starts cleaning Laguna up and bandaging his wounds to stop the bleeding. 'We're gonna need to get him to hospital,' he dead pans. after bring rushed to the hospital, laguna gets sent into surgery... Ward and kiros come asasp. Kiros doesn't even look at seifder but ward gieves him a nod and a pat on the shoulder. Seifer smiles a little at Ward, feeling a little animosity towards Kiros he resns ins it and stands up from his plastic orange hospital seat, pacing up and down the plasticy floor, forcing his hands into his pockets and scowling at the floor, angry at himself for his mess up. Ward smacks Kires in the shoulder hard and kiros turns to him, "WHAT?.... Fine... " ward then moves his lips some and kiros nods and asks Seifer, "Ward wonders how you are doing?" Seifer, "Thankyou for asking. I'm feeling shit right now, I should have saved him or something," he replies rather briskly, continuing to walk up and down at a frightening pace. He feels a sudden urge to kick one of those annoyingly bright hosital chairs, but restrains himself and sits back down on one instead. "How about you Ward, Kiros? You two okay?" he inquires with a softer tone. Ward nods and Kiros pauses, "We are fine... What happened?" Ward goes to get something to drink. from a vending machine near them. Seifer sighs slightly and begins rubbing at the bridge of his nose. "Some guy....On the roof, he was shooting, taking pot shots, some nutter, I don't know. He missed, obviously, couldn't im to save his life...I should have realised he was no assasin but I ran after him. I left Laguna with the guards, I should have sent them. I caught up with him, I gave him a chance to turn himself in, he jumped of the roof, he's dead as far as I know, I didn't check. I heard shooting and ran down, met the guards, and we found the guy dead and Laguna injured. That's it basically," he rubs at his eyes, sighing once more. "It is my fault, I am sorry Kiros." Kiros, agaian goes quiet a moment as ward tries to sit on a chair.. then he speaks, "Sounds like a set up. Most likely someone who wanted to make sure you weren't with him. " Ward mouths something. Kiros nods, "Good chance the trouble makers are killed.. Seifer also reminds me of that too." To Seifer again, " Ward thinks you and Squall are alot alike. Both of you are too hard on yourselves." Seifer walks in slowly, trying to work out whether to be quiet in case he's sleeping, cheery to try and make him happy, or sympathetic and simpering. He makes do with creeping over to his bed side and whispering very quietly. "Laguna, are you awake?" Laguna yawns a bit and opens his eyes, "Nope.. hey seifer!" he uses a control to make his bed sit up.. it whirls and does so.. it seems the bed gives laguna some amusment. "Bed goes up... bed goes down.. You okay?" Seifer, "Me okay? More like you okay, you're the one who got shot," he replies with a small smile. He sits down on the visitors chair and watches with some amusement as 'bed goes up, bed goes down' and restrains a small chuckle. Laguna settles on something, "I wake up and the dctors say 'you aware of how close that bullet came to your heart?' Not really.... Theh he asks if he can keep it as a soveiner! " Rolls his eyes, "Then they wanna feed me.. blue jello. " Makes face of disgust, "The other bullet was harmless... Otherwords.. I am fine. My heart is fine. I will live." Seifer, "That is very good. Blue jello sounds interesting, kinda like it'd be...Bleach flavour or something," Seifer wrinkles up his nose a little, poking out his tongue in disgust. "You didn't eat it did you?" he inquires, "Sure, you're alive now, but eating that stuff could finish you for good," he adds dryly. Laguna laughs, "I didn't... I'm not suisidal. I do wanna get out of here... very much. " That part seroiusl, "I never cared for hopsitals." Seifer, "I could steal you away but I doubt the doctors would appreciate it much," Seifer replys with a small smirk, leaning back on his chair and placing his hands behind his head. Laguna, "They say I can leave if I can walk out... Since magic healed up the damsge once bullest were taken care off.. my only problem is blood loss.. which I already got blood infusions for that. I just can't sleep in this bed.... " He gives a pleading look. Seifer inquires seriously, "Does walking count if someone helps?" standing upright. "I could turn on the agressivness and scare of a few doctors if you like, we could be outta here in no time," he remarks with a wink. laguna, "I can walk, just my legs feel like rubber.. " he gets from bed and tries to pull up some pants under his gown. Seifer sighs a little and helps him out, zipping him up and everything he grins a lit 'Le 'Let's get you outta here soldier, you've seen enough action,' he remarks dryly, grabbing his arm and sling it over his own shoulders before putting an arm round his waist. 'We'll find you decent clothes when we get back, okay? A hospital gown will hafta do for now.' Nods sone as he gets his shoes on. More he walks, he gets more steady though feels like his legs were not thatbtrustworthy. Nurses a bit suprised he is walking considering the effects of the drugs they gavm. Wm. When Seifer and Laguna got back, Laguna decided to go sleep for a while, so Seifer was stuck with nothing to do. He sat around for a while, just considering something worth doing, when he decided to start training. He went out into the presedential yard and began warming up, beginning to do press ups on the groun, he ignored the audience of people waiting to see what he could do. When he reached 50 he stopped, deciding that was enough he unsheathed Hyporion and began to do a sort of kata. Laguna actualy threw up after he got into his room, in the toilet.. and the drugs in his system made him go to sleep for a while. After a bit, when it is around supper time he wakes up. His dreams were disturbing and he was glad to be awake. he suddenly sits up and remembers what happened, ache in his chest proof. For a moment ilrartional fear he needs to see Seiofer.. Seifer does not realise Laguna is panicking currently, but there is a window from Laguna's room facing the courtyard, which he is currently still training in. He has disgarded his shirt, as it is impeding his movement, and his kata has got a little more violent, as he now sees Laguna's attacker before him, no longer a faceless opponent. His opponent used to be Squall but now he has no grudges. Laguna hears some noise and looks out the windiow to see Seifer. He quickly calms down and chids himself for being so foolish. Maybe it was the dream that made him feel upset so quickly. he watches him prtaice, admiring that handsome body... before he shouts, "Nice workout.." Seifer pauses, glancing up to the window with suprising accuracy he waves and grins widely. "Thanks! I'm getting a bit worn down though, ya know? And I think I have an audience," he adds, pointing a thumb towards the group of people hovering around, who begin to wander away since the show seems to be over. So to speak. Laguna shouts up, "Come up and join em for some supper! I hate eatting alone!" he then orders something that won't upset his stomach.. chicken soup for two with some rolls and crackets to put in soup of they want, Seifer pulls on his shirt quickly, resheathing hyporion and jogging up the steps, waving to a few admirers still hanging around in an almost celebrity like manner. It looks for a second alot like the parade he took part in, only his smile was genuine, not the evil sneer he held before. He walks into Laguna's room, smiling slightly and sitting down on a chair. "Sorry if I smell, but ya know, can't be helped, what're we having?" Laguna, "You smell.. fine." Almost said sexy. "We are having chicken soup because it is easy on the stomach ahnd boost the immune system.. plus I like it alot." gets his soup and puts crackers in it to cool it off and smile sat the first savoring sip. Seifer grins a little, not really noticing the hitch in his sentence as he picks up his bowl and takes a long drink out of it. 'Hey, this stuff tastes okay! I thought it'd be like tinted water,' he remarks, putting down his still half full bowl and taking a large bite out of a roll. Supper goes by with some chit chat.. mainly from laguna who liked to talk anyway. despite rambling he does tend tick ick to subjects. He talks about his brief carrer as an actor and the dragon attack.. having only a gunblade prop for a weapon for most the fight. before long the soup is finished off and.. laguna feels pleasanlty full. Seifer remarks, "Well, that was good." leaning back heavily on his chair and yawning loudly. "So...What're you gonna be doing now?" he inquires sheepishly, pondering exactly as to what the president does in his spare time anyway. Laguna scrtaches his head, "Sometimes I watch movies.. mostly I do paper work till I pass out... don't exaclty have a social life or anything." Pauses a bit.. looking out a window... , "I want to let you know.. you may not belive this but just getting to know you has bmeant alot to me. I sometimes don't know what I could do to prove how much it means. " An aqward stumble in words for a second, "I mean... Something I can't quite form into words, and I used to wrirticrticles.. " chuckles soflty. Seifer smiles a little, touched at Laguna's badly spoken statement. "I understand completely, and I know how you feel, and I feel the same," Seifer deadpans, then smiles widely. "Most people hate me, you're the first real friend I've had in a long long time Laguna," Laguna, "I feel anything but hatred for you.. " too much it scared him. Woild raine understand if he did move on? Could almost hear her say to stop being stupid and to love someone else. Goes to a window to look down at the buildings...Hands clentches together to feel from fidgeting. Lights of the city were bright and pretty in their own way. For a second he feels so isolated from many things. Seifer stands and walks over to him, standing behind him and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Laguna, what's bothering you? If you wanna talk about it, I am here," he says softly. He has an urge to hug the man from behind but restrains himself, feeling that Laguna would be frightened of if he tried anything so bold. Laguna soflry confesses, "It has been years since I cared for anyone... You see I really fell hard for Raine. I still remember the day I asked her to marry me. When I came back... She died. No one would tell me what happened. They despised me. They still hate me there... If they could they would have ran me frown.own. I got her pregnant.. Because of me, she died. Worst part... I wasn't there for her. She kept asking for me. I hated myself for that... I didn't want to love anyone like that again.. Maybe my son is a bit like me after all in that sense. Now I find myself wanting to love. It scares me." hand on the glass. Seifer sighs softly and this time follows his instinct, wrapping his arms gently around Laguna and pulling him close. "I can't say I understand. I've never had that kind of commiment for anyone ever, but the people of that town hating you is wrong, if I could make it all better I most certainly would. I am sorry you're feeling pain, Laguna," Seifer sighs softly and rests his chin lightly on Laguna's shoulder, looking out the window as he does so. He realxes againts him hand ober one of the arms as he closes his eyes... think lash a bit moist, "Maybe I am stepping out of bounds but you given me something more then you realize.. I feel like I found a part of myself that I lost a long time ago... Please don't leave me." Seifer shuts his eyes, shaking his head a little. "I'd never leave you," he replies honestly, a passion in his voice that he lost long ago when he was defeated by Squall. "You've given me so much too Laguna, it is completely mutual, I've felt so lost before and now I've got you, please don't leave me either, not ever, I couldn't stand loosing you now." Laguna flt tingly where he was touched.. nice feeling of warmth though his body as he smiles a real smile. One of being happy and one of love, resting totlay againts seifer. "My luck, I'll be around for a very long time." Seifer nods slightly. "Definitely, I couldn't have it any other way," he replies. Seifer feels a sudden and strange need to stay with Laguna, he hasn't ever felt this before as usual he is the type to stay away from any kind of commitment. Now he is changing though, and he feels like he'd never leave Laguna for all the gold in the world. Laguna turns some in the hold... Truth be told Seifer was a bit taller the Laguna. The defernce was several inches bit not as vast as when he stood next to ward who was around seven foot. marvles at how solid sefier felt under his shirt. Solid and very warm. He smiles at seifer. Seifer smibackback slightly, brushing a lock of hair away from Laguna's face. 'I like you alot Laguna,' he murmurs softly, staring intensly into his eyes. Laguna felt happy just drowing in seife5r's eyes... the man had such gorgeous lashed a woman would kill for and it was natural. His fingers touch the scar and taril down his cheek oflty as if touching china. Seifer smiles a little more, leaning closer and wrapping his arm tighter around Laguna's waist. "What exactly do you feel for me?" he inquires lowly, looking even more serious than ever. Laguna, "..... I love you." Simple yet complax it was.. He gives sharp intakle of breath as if the words felt good and hurt... yet he never looks away for he meant them. Wanted to say them louder yet he stil had some restain on himself. Seifer smiles wider. "Really? I love you too," he replies sincerely. He leans down closer and presses his lips lightly to Laguna's, his hand moving upwardsslidslide gently into his hair and his other arm wrapping tightly around his waist so as their bodys are pressed closely together Laguna presses his lips back.. the kiss sneding feelings through him he hasn't felt in years. armsa warp around seifer as his hand touches the back of his neck. wanted him more tyhen life itself in many ways. Seifer slides his hand down to rest on Laguna's butt, his tongue slipping out to run over his lips slowly, asking for permission of entrance. Lips part as his tongue weclomes the other. Kiss becomoes more pasionate, more needy on his part. as he presses againts sefier. Hands gripping his waist and craddling his neck. Seifer moans slightly, brushing his tongue over Laguna's and clinging to him tightly, his eyes closed lightly as he emerses himself in the moment. Laguna could feel himself became arroused. It was uncomfortable yet he didn't seem to care as he breaks the kiss to nibble and suckle seifer's earlobe. Seifer moans a little louder, running his hands up over Laguna's body and then pushing the one down his pants, he looks hard into his eyes to try and find out if he's okay with this. Laguna gives a soft as warm flesh goes down.. his hand brushes front of seifer's pants across the groin. His eyes says anything but not wanting it. He wanted more. Seifer suddenly lifts Laguna up into his arms bride style, looking hard into his eyes. "Here infront of the window is no place for this. Diree toe to your bed, princess" he smirks a little as he says this, kissing Laguna lightly on the nose. From there seifer carries him to the bed and the lights shut off. ~ The End ~
