Chapter Fourteen



The next morning the group made it to Dollet only to find nothing, just bullshit and idiotic people who didn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. Safe to say they were pissed, but as long as they got paid it wasn’t all bad and also they had the rest of the day free. At the moment they were in the café having lunch and Seifer still bitching about the bogus mission.

“You know we should just beat the shit out of the guy that contracted us.” Seifer mumbled around his cheeseburger.

“We can’t.” Squall said, eating his roast beef sandwich.

“Why because it’ll be bad for Garden?” Seifer asked with a smirk.

“That and it was anonymous, so we can’t do anything even if we wanted to.” Squall said and Selphie groaned.

“Today was suppose to be my day off you know, I had it all planned out. Shopping, ice cream, more shopping, a movie, shopping, lunch, video arcade and then back to Garden.” She said polishing off her giant banana split.

“I know, I know.” Squall sighed and Irvine watched with an amused smile.

“Now, now darling it comes with the job.” He said to the brunette girl.

“Shut up you and Seifer shouldn’t be here.” She pouted and Seifer flipped her off with a charming smile.

“Alright you guys just knock it off.” Squall said with a sigh.

“Yes daddy.” Selphie winked.

“Don’t talk dirty to me Selphie, it isn’t professional.” Squall said and Seifer burst out laughing while the others jaws dropped.

“Squall joking? What gives?” Zell sputtered.

“I think our main man is getting some tail.” Irvine twanged and wiggled his eyebrows while Zell and Selphie looked at their leader closely.

With a sigh Squall dug gil out for his meal and put it on the table. “If you guys are done we should go and get back to Balamb.” He said.

“But we have the rest of the day to be here.” Selphie whined. “Also don’t change the subject.”

“You can go shopping like you already had planned and besides my private life is no ones business.” He said and the rest paid and stood up.

“So that means you do have some little lady stashed away! You dirty dog you!” Irvine whistled.

“Who said it was a lady?” Seifer said and Squall held back a laugh at the gaping expressions again.

“W-what!?” Zell exclaimed and Seifer put an arm around Squall’s shoulders.

“Alright the truth is…we are butt buddies. Isn‘t that right honey?” Seifer asked.

“Well they weren’t suppose to find out this way.” Squall said. Before too long him and Seifer laughed at the three sets of bulging eyes.

“That’s not cool, you guys actually had us going there.” Irvine said.

“Aw it would have been totally hot if it was true.” Selphie murmured dreamily.

“You’re sick Selphie.” Zell said with a shake of his head and they finally left the café.

They went silent for awhile as they walked to the train station, even though they had the rest of the day free, the others secretly were glad to go back ‘home’. On the train Selphie, Irvine and Zell were deep in thought about who Squall could be seeing and why he didn’t tell them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------

After a few hours in the train all but Selphie were glad to be out of the stuffy locomotive and they walked into the fresh salty air of Balamb. Even though the bouncy brunette said she wanted to go shopping, now she told them that all she wanted to do is get back to Garden and do work on the next festival…whenever that may be.

When they arrived Quistis and Zell were by the gates looking kind of green and upset for some reason. Squall frowned when the two noticed them, but their gaze shifted to him and it was one of disgust.

“Um what’s going on?” Irvine asked, noticing their looks at their leader.

“We’ve found out some rather disturbing news.” Quistis said and glared.

“What that Squall is seeing someone and you two are jealous?” Selphie asked with a biting sweetness.

Zell and Quistis looked at each other with mirrored looks of irritation and repulsion. “We are not jealous.” Quistis finally said.

“No we want to puke because Squall’s fucking Matron!” Zell yelled and Irvine and Selphie looked at Squall who was looking at the ground.

“So I don’t see a problem.” Selphie said and Irvine nodded.

“Really. Matron is quite the cougar.” Irvine said and gave a playful growl.

“It’s disgusting! She looked after us when we were kids and basically our mother!” Quistis said and Zell folded is arms in agreement.

“For Hyne’s sake!” Seifer yelled and glared at the other two blondes. “Not everyone thinks of Matron that way. Irvine doesn’t and neither does Squall so just shut up about it. I think Quistis is jealous because Squall would never give her the time of day and Chicken-wuss is jealous because he’s never going to get his cherry popped unless it’s by a farm animal.”

Seifer smirked when Zell threw a punch at not only him but Squall as well and received a Blizzaga from the Commander. Quistis picked up the cold martial artist and glared at the others.

“Quistis, Zell if you continue on with this childish tirades I will have you kicked from Garden.” Squall said coldly, making them flinch. “Is that understood?” The two nodded but he continued to talk. “Now what goes on in that part of my life is not of anyone’s business.” With that he left the group.

When he was gone Irvine, Selphie and Seifer gave the two a glare of their own. “You two should just be glad that Edea has someone like Squall and that Squall actually found someone he loves as well. Age doesn’t matter and who cares of their past together, it only means that she understands him more than anyone else.” Selphie said and they too left.

For a moment the two stood there and then they also trudged back to garden to hold a meeting between themselves.
