I do not own Final Fantasy VIII, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Winners & Losers
Don’t own a damn thing here. Not the characters. Not the game. Just twisted imagination at work is all. Oh, the Push It Universe is my idea. This takes place some time in my Push It Arc before the Omega chapter.

I watched Squall with Seifer. It amazed me that the blonde couldn’t tell that Squall loved him. It was all right there in Squall’s eyes and every gesture he made. He let Seifer close to him. Closer than he would anyone else. Squall touched Seifer when he had no need to touch him. He watched him with a depth of emotion in his changeable eyes that I know had never been directed my way. Seifer loved Squall back but I don’t think he realized it yet. Seifer didn’t like himself most days and I think he really believed he wasn’t worth anyone’s love.
I suppose I could have felt angry that Seifer had won and I had lost Squall’s love. But that wasn’t an entirely fair statement. I don’t think I ever really had Squall’s love to start with. At least, not in the way I thought I had wanted it. I had a lot of spoiled little girl dreams back then.
Thinking back on it, I never had a chance to win Squall’s love. Seifer had won it years before Squall ever met me or became my Knight. I had tried to force Squall to love me by making him my Knight. I know now that I was wrong to do that. I’ve done a lot of growing up in the year that I spent at the research facility.
I watched Squall with Seifer and thought about how happy Seifer could make him. All the blonde had to do was tell Squall that he loved him. I wanted to march up to Seifer and smack him in the back of the head and tell him to look at what was right in front of him. I wanted to tell him to grab hold of the precious gift that was being offered to him and never let it go.
But, I promised Squall I wouldn’t say anything to Seifer. Not about knowing Squall loved him. Not about knowing that Seifer loved him back. Once, I would have thought that winning Squall’s love would have been the best thing that could have happened to me. I know different now.
Losing Squall’s love was the next best thing because it allowed me to see what had been right in front of my own eyes for the past year. Viljo was my Knight now and he loved me as I’d once wanted Squall to. Actually, he loved me more than I had ever thought a person could.
I guess Seifer wasn’t the only one who could see someone’s love until it was dumped right over their head. I just hoped that for Squall’s sake, it didn’t take Seifer as long as it had taken me to realize who his heart belonged to.
