Chapter 4: Seifer leaving?

Squall opened his eyes slowly the next morning. He almost couldn't believe anything had happened. For a blissful moment, he was able to think that he was back in his old home, in his room waiting on Elone or his mother to come in and wake him up. Of course the moment the feeling of something heavy resting at his waist brought him back to reality and it all came crashing down on him. He sighed softly, the sadness at being sold and taken away from his family was beginning to way heavy on him.

He felt a warm breath against his cheek that let him know that the other man sharing the bed with him was still asleep. He shifted, trying to move out from under the arm holding him so that he could get up, but it was all in vain. The arm suddenly tightened around his thin waist a moment before the other announced his now awakened state.

"Where are you going?" His voice was gruff with sleep and Squall silently thought it was kind of sexy.

/Sexy? Where the hell did that come from?/

'Bathroom"

The other nodded, before sitting up, and stretching his muscular arms over his head. Seifer shook his head, trying to wake up, but to no avail. He needed coffee to fully be able to get up in the morning.

Squall hurried off to the bathroom. He closed the door quickly, sliding down the length of the door for a moment. His thoughts were so confusing and he didn't even know where to begin to try to sort through them. He leaned his head back against the door, closing his eyes. /What the hell is going on with me? I can't honestly be attracted to that blond ogre. Okay, so maybe he's not that bad, but still, he's holding me hostage and won't let me talk to my family. All right, well he did promise to let me talk to them, but still, when the hell will that be?/ A knock interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey you done in there yet?" The voice was slightly muffled by the door.

"Almost," he called back.

He decided he better get up and attend to nature's call. Sighing softly, he stepped towards the door and opened it. The blond was leaning against the wall nearby, his eyes were closed.

"I have to go have breakfast with my family, do you want to go with me or stay here?"

"You're going to give me a choice in the matter?"

There was that same cocky ass grin. Seifer opened his eyes, looking at the smaller brunette. Squall took a step back at the lust he saw in those eyes, but didn't remark. Seifer took a step towards him and Squall felt his heart begin to beat a little faster in his chest. They were so close they were practically breathing the same air.

"Let me warn you now, if you go with me you'd better not make a fool of me in front of my family or I will punish you. Is that clear?"

"Crystal." Squall snapped back to the threat.

There were a few moments of silence before the large blond spoke again.

"You coming or not?" That masculine voice with that damned cocky grin broke the moment.

"I'll go with you."

"Good. Then let's go."

They slowly made their way down to the dining hall. Squall had to give Seifer credit, the house was incredible. It was lavishly decorated with pastels and soft lights. Large bay windows that went from ceiling to floor allowed lots of light into the hallway and the various rooms they passed with dark wooden doors, some open to reveal the same lavish yet comfortable rooms and some closed. Squall had to wonder what was behind those, since Seifer never offered any explanation, just continued walking. They entered a large hall dominated by the dining room table. The golden and crystal chandelier lit up the room nicely, but there were still shadows in the corner of the room. The wine colored carpet was soft beneath his bare feet. Sitting around the table, Squall assumed were members of Almasy family.

A tall dark haired woman, with beautiful brown gold eyes rose to her feet. Her smile was soft and motherly. /Must be Seifer's mom. Funny they don't look a lot alike./

"Seifer. I'm so glad you came to join us for breakfast." Her voice was soft and gentle just like his own mother's voice.

She smiled as Seifer stepped forward to kiss her on the cheek. She beckoned for him to sit next to her.

"We didn't think we were going to see you till the night. You do love to sleep in when you can." A smaller brunette sitting beside a man with golden blond hair and a cowboy hat, smiled at Seifer, teasingly.

"Sorry Selph, couldn't let you guys do any planning behind my back without me."

She laughed softly, before turning back to the man beside her, and speaking softly in his ear. He gave a small nod, but didn't say anything.

Seifer took the offered seat, and turned back to face Squall. Squall looked at him for a moment, before turning his eyes to the ground.

"Sit." He motioned to the vacant chair beside him.

Squall slowly sat down, keeping his eyes lowered so that he didn't have to look at the people around the table. He knew the woman who had brought him here was sitting across from him and he felt a little self-conscious about it.

"Honestly Seifer, bringing your slave to dine with us and then allowing him to sit at the same table? Did you hit your head while you were out?" Quistis snapped at him. It was quite obvious that she wasn't fond of Seifer.

"Do you have to be such a bitch Quistis?" He snapped right back at her.

"So I'm a bitch huh? Well at least I have some sense of decorum!"

"If you did, you wouldn't be talking about him like he wasn't here!" Seifer was beginning to get angry and sister or not, he wasn't going to stand for anyone talking to Squall like that!

"Enough!" Irvine shouted. Everyone fell silent.

"Breakfast is not a place to hold an argument. But at the rate you two go at one another, it's not like you care very much. Seifer, please refrain from calling Quistis a bitch. And Quistis quit provoking him. Now everyone settle down and let's try to enjoy what is left of breakfast, like the family we are supposed to be." Irvine said, his voice carrying throughout the hall.

Edea had laid her hand on Seifer's arm to keep him from coming up out of his seat. Now she removed it and turned to Selphie.

"Selphie, dear, would you like to go shopping with me today?"

"I would love to Matron."

They continued talking about going to this and that store as Irvine turned to look at his younger brother.

"We need to talk after this."

"What about Cowboy?"

"I need you to pay a little visit to Zell."

Seifer smirked, he loved to be able to scare the family's archenemy, although they hadn't always been that way, but shit happens, as the old saying goes. So why not make the most of having a good time. He was after all the Coffin Dancer for a reason.

"So what do you want me to do? Shoot him in the nuts, break his…"

"Seifer, please."

"Sorry Matron."

She smiled before turning back to Selphie.

"Quistis would you like to go with us?" Selphie asked suddenly. She looked at her sister in law, smiling gently.

"Sure why not? I don't have much else to do."

"So how long do you think I'll be gone?" Seifer asked Irvine.

"At least till late tonight."

"All right."

Squall listened to all of this in silence, what could he say? This family owned him, well more particularly the blond man sitting beside him. They seemed like a nice normal family, well aside from Seifer's comments about this Zell. He almost could've sworn he was home and his mother and sister were talking about going shopping. He sighed softly and continued to eat the food the servants had placed in front of him.

After breakfast, Seifer walked down the hallway with Irvine talking about this Zell person. Squall followed behind not saying a word. He remembered Seifer's words and thought the better of doing something to anger the blond.

They made their way into a type of common room. It had the same dark carpet as the dining hall and soft tan leather couches and recliners. Irvine perched on one of the couches, and motioned for his brother to sit as well. Seifer took the recliner a little off to the right of the couch and before Squall could move to sit as well, he was jerked into Seifer's lap. Seifer wrapped his arms around the smaller brunette and looked at his brother expectantly.

"Zell is still giving us some problems. He's been trying to cut in on our business, as you know. In fact that witness I had you kill the other day, may have been working for him. He would give anything to see our family off right now. I want you to scare him a little, maybe kill one or two guards, nothing big, just the usual scare tactics."

"I can always put a horse's head in bed with him." Seifer joked grinning.

"Don't even think about it." Selphie stepped into the room. She fixed her brother in law with a harsh stare. "Besides, that would be cruel to the innocent horse."

"Good point. Welp I suppose I can scare him into being quiet or at least get him off our backs."

"That's what I expected to hear. When will you leave?" Irvine asked.

"Right now. The sooner I get there, the sooner I get done and can come back home."

"Good luck." Selphie said, smiling sweetly.

"I won't need it."

Seifer pushed gently on Squall, motioning for him to get to his feet. He stood up beside him and slid an arm around his waist, pulling him close and leading him out of the common room and back to his bedroom.

"You'll come back as soon as possible right?" Squall asked softly as they entered the bedroom.

"Depends, will you miss me if I stay gone to long?" Seifer asked, smiling.

"No! I just wanted to know."

"I'll be back tonight, I'm also locking this door, so don't even think of escaping."

Squall turned his back to Seifer, folding his arms. He didn't want the blond to see the sad look in his eyes. The truth was, he was going to miss the blond assassin and he was slightly frightened to stay here by himself. Quistis seemed to really hate Seifer, so why not use him to get back at him? And while he was capable of defending himself, he was sure that if he hit Quistis, he would probably be sold or worst be killed.

Seifer walked past the pouting brunette and began to get dressed. He slipped on his black pants and black dress shirt and then pulled out his tan coat. He reached out and pulled down his shoulder holster, hooking it and sliding the shiny black Magnum into it. He pulled out a small revolver and slid it into his belt. He never went anywhere with only one gun. He pulled out a pair of knives and black boots before going over and sitting on the messy bed and pulling them on. He slid the knives into his boots, and stood up.

Squall looked up at him as he stepped closer. Seifer stood transfixed by those amazing blue gray eyes. Right now dressed in clothes slightly too big for him, with his hair rumpled and a slight flush on his cheeks from standing so close to the blond, he was ravishing.

Seifer leaned down and slowly captured those soft pink lips. Squall was startled at first, before he found himself kissing the blond back. He parted his lips allowing the blond access to the depths of his mouth. He wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck, holding tightly. Their tongues battled for dominance as Seifer slid his arms around Squall's waist, pulling him close and holding Squall tightly to him. The need for air finally forced them apart.

Seifer looked into the beautiful eyes once more and he found that he really didn't want to let go of him. Squall was having similar thoughts, although his heart and mind still debated about which one was right. He was confused. Although he liked being held and the kiss had been pleasant, he still couldn't believe he had allowed it.

"We can continue this tonight." Seifer said softly as he let go of the small brunette.

Squall could only nod, his head starting to ache from the emotional turmoil. Seifer smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"I'll hurry back, I promise."

Authors' Notes: I know cliffhangers suck, but this chapter was getting so long, I couldn't help myself. We are so sorry we're late. Classes are soon to start up for us and we have been running around trying to enjoy the last of summer. We'll try not to take so long next time. One of our readers' did point out that it had been 16 days and that's just way to long to leave you guys waiting on this to get out. So we will try to get the next chapter out by next week to make up for it. Next chapter will probably be lemon, like I promised, so be ready for it! Ciao! Rosiel and Kira
