Phantom Dreams

End of Today

Seifer grins he was close to the end of the bowl. he grins and 'accidently' drops the icecream on his spoon on Squall's chest. at the edge of his shirt at the top.

"Shit!"Squall jerked,trying to sit up,face the picture of surprise as his face collided with seifer's arm."seifer!"he growled,shoving at the larger man.

"What? It fell. Not my fault." Seifer grins holding him down. He then leans down and pulls the collar Of Squall's shirt down and starts licking off the icecream.

Squall shuddered,eyes falling half way shut,swallowing hard, it taking all his focus to remember that it was seifer,that he shouldn't enjoy getting licked by seifer,that seifer was just doing it to bother him."W-what are you doing?"He grumbled a little,sounding just a little breathless.

"Well I don't want to wast it." Seifer mumbles against Squall's skin. Following a small trail of melted icecream to the middle of his chest, at the top. Stil laying fully on top of him.

Squall swallowed hard,shifting a little,almost grinding against the leg that was resting between his thighs,but freezing when he realized what he had started to do,before relaxing back on the floor."I'm gonna be sticky."

"Then you'll have to take a cold shower." Seifer grins, He was done licking up the icecream. He rolls off and then stands up and stretches. "I think. I'm gonna go out for a while." He says walking away.

squall frowned,sitting up on his elbows,watching him go,before standing up slower,fingers going to his neck to make sure seifer had gotten all the ice cream."where to?"he asked,slightly curious.

"Balamb maybe." Seifer shrugs.

Squall nodded a little,straightening his shirt before running his fingers through his hair,moving towards the door."remember the gates close at 10.So you have to be back before then."

"Yes Fairy Godmother." Seifer drolls rolling his eyes and pulling on his boots walking out of the room.

Squall followed him out,punching him in the arm as he turned to go to his own rooms."ever call me sounding like a girl again, I'll draw lionheart on you."He threatened,sounding half serious.

"Oh really?" Seifer grins, no one was in the hallway. He grabs Squall's coat and pushes him against the wall. His hips pinning Squall's before kissing him. Taking the surprise to push his tongue into Squall's mouth. Not kissing him roughly but gently. His free arm resting his forearm against the wall. the other hand twitsted in Squall's coat no releasing him. Grinding his hips against Squall's.

Squall moaned a little,a hand resting on seifer's chest,having gone to push away,before his fingers curled into the shirt, gripping the fabric tightly in his fist,kissing him back,following instinct instead of thought process.

Seifer pulls away licking his lips. "Mmm." He grins before leaning down again for another passonate kiss. This time his free hand moving down a little and pinching Squall's nipple through the fabric of his shirt.

squall gasped a little,teeth biting down on seifer's lip in surprise. One hand resting on seifer's chest still,the other hand resting on his arm,fingers digging into his bicep.

Seifer pulls back laughing. Still close but not as close.

Squall's eyes closed slowly,before he opened them again,as his thoughts finally caught up with his actions.Dropping his hand,he shoved at seifer's shoulder,just enough to slip past him and going gto escape in his room."goodnight seifer."he muttered,not looking back.

Seifer grins. "Night princess." he says softly walking to the elevator. He then just wlaks around the quad a bit.

Squall frowned,standing on the other side of his closed door, refusing to go after him,wanting to,telling himself it was because he wanted to run him through with lionheart and not because how good he kissed.Grabbing lionheart he headed down to irvine's room,pounding on the door,still looking a little rumpled.

Irvine opens the door. "Hm?" He asks hat off hair down. wearing blue jeans and the undershirt and his vest. He had been studying. He still needed to pass the final exam to be a SeeD.

"feel like taking a study break and come training with me?"Squall said,his scar crinkled a little as he forced himself to think about anything else but seifer.

"Yeah sure... but um... what's with your face?" Irvine asks grabbing his gloves and boots and exeter.

Squall sighed,walking with him heading towards the TC."nothing. Just thinking to hard."

"Obviously." Irvine grins.

Squall rolled his eyes a little,pushing open the door to the TC."Come on.Lets find a T-rex."he said,wanting something big enough to give him a challenge.

"Like they are any challange anymore." Irvine grins.

Squall shrugged,walking with him,"Well,they're the biggest challenge I'm gonna get till seifer gets hyperion back."

"What you not giving it to him?" Irvine asks completely confused by Squall's last statement.

"I tried.he didnt want it."Squall shrugged."Until he takes it, I'm fighting rexes."

"Not take it? Why would he not take it?!" Irvine asks shocked.

Squall shrugged."he has his reasons."He said,remembering the look on the ex-knight's face wen he had offered the gunblade.

"Are you okay with dealing with it al though?" Irvine asks getting a little more worried.

"Why wouldn't I be?"Squall frowned,looking over at him.I killed a sorceress.Dealing with seifer will only be a little harder then that.He thought to himself.

"Seifer was always angry. In the orphanage. And you would get so mad. you two never fought. but you challanged each other over stuff. Can one of you bend a little now?" Irvine asks softly.

"...."Squall frowned thoughtfully,a ghost of a smile of crossing his lips as he heard a rex crash through the trees somewhere in front of them."No.Probably not."He said finally,knowing even when he tried to ignore everyone,and was successful at it, the blond had always gotten the reaction he wanted.

"you know you look like the perfect Uke but really you don't act like one. How dissapointing." Irvine sighs theatrically. Before chasing after the T-REx.

Squall stared after him for a moment,drawing lionheart before following,not sure if he should be insulted that he looked so submissive,or glad that he didn't act the part.Shaking his head a little,he smiled throwing himself whole heartedly into the fight,for the moment forgetting everything else.

Irvine was clearly enjoying the battle. It was only a small battle for them really. But it was fun none the less. "So you seemed kind of flushed when you came to my door." Irvine says picking up the potion they had got from the dragon.

"Maybe."Squall shrugged,face going blank,but a faint blush spreading across his cheeks at the thought of what had caused that flush.

Irvine grins a knowing grin. "wanna go to the Caf and get a snack?" He asks putting exeter in it's holster.

Squall nodded a little,putting lionheart in its holster,heading for the door."A snack sounds good." He said,And not a chance seifer'd be there...probably.He thought to himself.

Irvine smiles. "Alright free food with the commander!" He jokingly cheers.

Seifer was sitting on a bench in th Quad. Eyes closed. Arms on the back. Head back and eyes closed. He was sleeping.

Zell looked at selphie,then at seifer."Do you think he's dead?"He frowned,standing nearby.

Seifer growls head moving holding his head up. His eyes hazy and his sight blurry still sitting on the bench. His entire body tense now

Zell held his hands out a little."seifer,its us.No need to worry."

Seifer's body relaxes a little. Not a lot however. "Chicken." He scowls rubbing a hand over his face.

"yea."Zell relaxed,hands in his pockets."Thought you died on us."

"Died? I... Just fell asleep." Seifer says standing slowly.

Zell shrugged."you looked dead."He grinned a little."hungry?I was just on my way to get something to eat."

"I guess. Squall and Selphie might attack me if I don't." Seifer says befor stretching. He was still nearly a full head taller then Zell.

Zell laughed a little,heading for the front hall way."Well, selphie might.Squall might just sit and glare at you till you do."

"You think he wouldn't enjoy running me through with his gunblade?" Seifer asks. Not sure why he was doing this with Zell of all people. the little man had always got on his nerves before.

"as long as you refrain from totally pissing him off, I think you're safe from getting run through."Zell grinned a little, feeling more at ease now that the man wasn't doing anything threatening towards him like usual."dont worry, he tells irvine, or selphie,or whoever happens to piss him off that he's gonna run them through,and he hasn't yet."

Seifer grunts folding his arms over his chest thoughtful. "you know you haven't changed much other then filling up that empty blonde head of yours. "He says sort of complimenting Zell. while still insulting him in the same breath of course.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Squall sighed,rolling his eyes,looking at irvine."....getting food with me is that exciting?"
"Ah ah! Free food!" Irvine grins putting his arm around Squall's shoulders. "Squall you gotta look at this from a students perspective. Free stuff is always a must!" Irvine laughs.

Squall shook his head,walking into the caf. with him,shrugging his arm off,stepping away."I should have left you to your studying."

"Probably!" Irvine grins jontily. He was follow keeping hs hands to himself now.

Squall smiles a little,getting in line to get some food."How's the studying going anyways?'

"Pretty good one test left then then the hands on pass or fail." Irvine sighs flipping his hair back over his own shoulder.

Squall nodded a little,grabbing his food,heading for a table, before frowning a little,trying to remember when the test was,and wondered if seifer'd be ready to take it then."Irvine?"He asked,frowning harder as he sat down,trying to think of a good way to ask a question.

"Yes?" Irvine asks sitting down with his own food as well.

"Um..."Squall frowned,pushing his food around his plate,not looking up at the cowboy,flushing a little."nevermind."

"No come on. Let me guess... relationship? Right? you wanna ask me something about intamacy?" Irvine asks trying to be helpful. He stops looking at his food. and puts down his fork to wait and help Squall.

Squall bit his lip,taking a bite of food so that he had the time to think."What..."he frowned,trying to think of a way without giving away who this conversation was about."I...I dont know how to start a relationship.Its...all I have are friends,and rinoa left because I was to much of a ice prince-"a small smile crossed his lips at the nickname seifer'd come up with."for her."

"Well... Let's see... do you talk to this person regularly? Cause finding an equal area of interest is often the key element." Irvine says. Twirling his fork in his food. "If the other person is more dominant then you are. Then things will just start to happen. And if you want it to happen go with it." Irvine advises taking a bite.

"does screaming at each other count as regular talking?"Squall asked,tilting his head a little, taking another bite,paling a little as he saw the two blonds walking into the lunch room together.

Zell rolled his eyes,not reacting to the insult,since getting mad hadn't gotten him anywhere,so he let it go.Grinning, he gestured towards the other two men."What do you want?I'll grab the food,and you go ahead and sit."

"whatever." Seifer shrugs not sure anyways.

Irvine grins and waves. "Whats wrong Squall... the food go bad?"

Squall shook his head,"No.The foods fine."He said,looking down,busying himself with eating.

Zell smiled,grabbing two trays,before handing one to seifer,heading for the table.

Seifer takes it and sits down.

Irvien grins. "Howdy you too." He greets happily.

Zell sat,a smile on his face as he looked at the cowboy."what's got you in such a chipper mood?"

Squall looked up,looking at seifer,before dropping his eyes, pushing his food around the plate, really, he didn't know what to think or do,there was a reason he avoided being in relationships.

"Oh nothing much got some stufying done and then Squall took me out fighting. then we talked a bit and here you are!" Irvine says happily.

Seifer grins listening the the prattle and watching Squall's reaction.

Squall shrugged a little,"I needed some training anyways."

Zell smiled,"you should have invited us along.Seifer needs to get back into the game."

Squall paled a little more,"maybe next time."

Seifer just grunts.

Irvine laughs. "Maybe you and me can go next time then." He says good naturedly.

Squall's head jerked up."you and seifer?"He blurted out before shaking his head."weell...you're used to working with a gunbladist..."He thought outloud,trying to cover up his mistake of speaking without thinking.

Zell looked at squall oddly,"...are you feeling ok squall?"

"Yeah I was talking about Zell. Not Seifer." Irvine says. "Er no offence of course." He then says looking at seifer.

"Yeah." Seifer says standing up. He was getting bored anyways. He turns then starting to walk away from the table.

Squall frowned a little,following the ex-knight out,falling into step with him,tired of hanging out with the guys,and finally got his mind around seifer kissing him."Why?"He asked as they neared the dorm hall,wanting a truthful answer,but not believing he'd get a serious one.

"why what?" Seifer asks not following.

"why did you kiss me?"He grumbled,a faint blush coloring his cheeks.

Seifer grins and opens the door to his room. "come inside." He says walking in and taking off his boots. Before walking back into the bedroom.

Squall frowned a little,looking confused,but stepped inside,shutting the door behind him."Cant you just answer the question?"He said,leaning back against the door taking off his boots.

"No. Now come in here."Seifer says from the bedroom He was taking off his shirt and his pants. Wearing boxer-briefs.

Squall sighed,walking barefooted to the bedroom,stopping in the doorway,watching him before going inside, but staying out of reach."Should I be worried about getting molested again?"He asked,a teasing tone in his voice that usually wasn't present.

Seifer snorts softly. "I didn't molets you. you were to willing for it to be called molestation." Seifer says laying on the bed. He stretches a bit. Arms above his head legs stretching out back arching. before sighing and laying in the bed. Completely relaxed.

Squall sighed,leaning bak against the dresser,running slender fingers through his hair before looking at the nearly naked man,a slight blush that stood out like becons on his pale skin flooded his face."Why did you kiss me seifer?"he asked,wanting a answer,wanting to leave.but wanting to crawl in next to him.

"sit on the bed you'll give me a crick in the neck sitting down there." Seifer says softly. now laying on his side. the sheets beneath him.

Squall sighed,getting up,sitting down next to him,before stretching out lazily,head resting on the pillow next to his. hands resting on his stomach,closing his eyes."better?"

"Not yet." Seifer says scooting over. Throwing his arm around squall's waist and a leg moving over his. "Now I am." Seifer says softly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zell frowned,looking at irvine."is it just me,or is squall being weird?well,weirder then normal?"

"He's trying to get into a relationship." Irvine says conspiratorily.

Zell looked startled."with who?"

"I dunno. I have a few people in mind. But I don't want to like, say anything." Irvine shakes his head.

Zell pouted a little."I bet you'd tell selphie if she asked."he said,curious about squall's relationship troubles,looking around for the hyperactive girl.

"she's off making people get ready for Easter." Irvine laughs everyone knew the hyper active young woman was Irvines weakness.

"Dammit."Zell smiled eating."I'm gonna tell her to ask you. She'll want to know who squall's so interested in to."

"she might already have ideas of her own." Irvine laughs. "Though she really wanted me to make a move on Squall. I'll tell you! She even found this thing online. where people post stories. she is one sick little puppy let me tell you." Irvine laughs

Zell laughed a little."And this is from the man that hits on everyone?I'm surprised you haven't gotten on the website as a author."He teased.

Irvine shifts his eyes then winks and puts one finger to his mouth in the universal be quiet jesture. "sshhh." He grins.

Zell's eyes went wide,laughing a little,shaking his head."we better go find out what selphie's up to.Otherwise she'll drag us out of bed bright and early to help."

"Yeap we better get going!" Irvine laughs as well. grabbing both of their trays and pushing them on the counter before walking towards the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Squall tensed a little,shivering slightly as seifer's breath ghosted against his ear.Opening his eyes a little,he turned just enough to look at the blond,eyes closed off,and face blank as he studied his lifelong rival."why did you kiss me?"He whispered,wanting a answer,knowing there had to be some reason,seifer didn't do anything without a reason.

Seifer begins moving his hand up and down Squall's clothes torso. Softly. "Why shouldn't I have? you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it." Seifer says softly in Squall's ear.

Squall bit his lip,holding back the moan that wanted to escape as he shivered under seifer's fingers,turning a little,pressing a gentle kiss to his lips,a hesitant unsure kiss,but a first stumbling step.

Seifer kisses back just as gently. He made a soft happy moan in the back of his throat. He continues to move his hand lightly up and down Squall's abdomen and chest. His leg moving just a little snuggling between Squall's legs his hip over Squall's.
