Chapter Fourteen: Quistis
Nothing happened. Nothing at all. Seifer layed next to me.
"You okay?"
"Mhm."
"Great." He hugged me. No longer a sorceress.
"Well, thats a great way to prove to you that I love you... and I always
have, I just... think Hyne needed me to actuallly realize I'd do anything for
you... But, now that that's all said and done... what proof do I have from
you...?"
"Hm." Seifer wrapped his arms around my bare body and kissed me.
"Thats all I can do for now... offer you my love. Whether you believe it or
not..."
"I'd rather believe it."
~~~
We walked past Squall's dorm. All was quiet. It was nearly three days later and
we wondered if they had got back together. No one knew. No one even knew that I
had been a sorceress for a few days... Xu had healed from her wound quite well,
and I was still in absence of my instructor's liscense.
"I don't think that they got back together... Its too quiet..." Seifer
said.
"Oh really? Maybe they moved to Rinoa's dorm."
"...Ya never know."
"Mhm." I glanced at my watch. 11pm.
"Hopefully, the cafeteria's still open." I muttered.
"Why?"
"Coffee."
"You'll never sleep."
"I never sleep anyway... Why not have coffee to help in the process?"
"Heh heh."
We went to the cafeteria, and I got a coffee. He got a beer. Why beer? I hate
that stuff... It tastes awful.
"Hey, have you seen Xu lately?" I ask Seifer.
"Nah, but I heard she recovered well... She's around somewhere
though..."
"Mhm..."
"Quistis."
"Hmm?"
"I, uh... dammit..."
"What's wrong?"
"I wanted to ask you something..."
"Um, okay... what is it?" Oh no, what is it? Is it bad? He didn't say
anything.
"Well...?"
"Nevermind."
"No, Seifer! What is it?" We stopped and stood by a moonlit window.
"Quistis... Really, just..."
"Please?" I could see his attention drawn elsewhere.
"Later." He said.
"What?"
"Come with me."
"Where?"
"Over here." He walked me over to a dorm.
"What? Do you have a thing for listening in to people's
conversations?!" I whispered, crouching next to him.
"You sure you want to do this again, Squall?"
"Of course..."
"Well then, you know what to do."
"Who's dorm is this? Is this Rinoa's?" I ask.
"Quistis... you know... what they are gonna do... right?"
"Yes, of course! ...So, who's dorm is it? Rinoa's?"
"N, no..."
"Then... um, who's is it?"
"Xu's."
~~~
We sat in his dorm, discussing Squall and Xu, when suddenly I remembered that
Seifer had wanted to ask me something. He was sitting on the window sill as
usual, and I was lying on his bed.
"Seifer."
"Hm?"
"You said you wanted to ask me something earlier... what was it?"
"I forget."
"Oh... so it must have not been important."
"N, no..." What? What is he trying to say to me?
"Well then... what is it?"
"I just wanted to know something." He jumped down from his seat.
"And that was?" I ask, standing up. He almost seemed nervous. Imagine!
Seifer Almasy nervous!
"...I wanted to know if... if... you would... uh... m, marry me...?"
Wha...?! Marry? I stared up at him, his green eyes. They looked like that of an
innocent child who was scared... Seifer... But no, this was Seifer Almasy, the
guilty man who was not afraid of anything... except for what answer I would
give. Seifer... and I... husband and wife... bonded forever in eternal love? Me
and him... Him and me... I'd love it... I truely would...
"Y-yes, I would marry you... And if its okay with you... I will marry
you..." I say, trying desperately to make my words fit.
"Quistis." He held me in his arms. My fiancee... Seifer Almasy...
~The End.
