Chapter 1:

"Come on, we gotta get back to class." The blonde haired boy told his friend as he got up from the bench.

"Yeah..." Squall replied and followed Zell.

"Thank god it's the last one today. Wanna work out later or something?"

"Nah, I promised I'd spend some time with Rinoa tonight." Squall replied as they walked towards the
elevator.

"Man you're lucky to have her! She's a real catch..." Zell noted, sounding exited.

".....I guess so..." Squall muttered after a moment of silence.

"You *guess* so?? Squall she's the prettiest girl in whole Garden! ...You're really fucked up if don't realise
that..." Zell exclaimed.

"Yeah yeah Zell, I know." Squall said, sounding a bit annoyed. "Let's just go already."

The two of them walked up the stairs leading to the main elevator. As the elevator doors opened, their eyes
widened with surprise.

"Almasy?! What the fuck--" Zell exclaimed as he saw Seifer Almasy make his way out of the elevator.

"Get the fuck outta my way!" the tall blonde growled, shoving them both aside. Zell flew down on the floor
and shot Seifer an annoyed glance.

Squall was too shocked to say anything. He just stared as the blonde stormed down the stairs.

"What the hell! He's back?? No one told me that!" Zell raged, getting up from the floor.

"And he's even bigger an asshole than he was when we last saw him.." the blonde muttered through gritted
teeth.

They stepped into the elevator and waited as it took them up to the second floor.

"Squall...say something! Did you know of Seifer's return?"

"....No, I didn't. The last time I saw him was in the Lunatic Pandora. Six months ago. I--I didn't even think he
was alive.." Squall finally spoke, frowning in confusion.

"Well, I sure do pity the guy who has to share a room with that mad fucker." Zell stated as they walked
towards the class-room. Squall was deep in thought.

'He looked kinda weird. All pale and haggard. And...did he even recognise us?'

************************************************************* *******

The day's classes were finally over and Squall was walking towards his dorm-room with Rinoa.

"We'll see later tonight, right sweetie?" Rinoa confirmed as they arrived at Squall's door.

Squall frowned when he heard the black-haired girl call him a 'sweetie'.

"Yeah yeah..." Squall muttered, slightly annoyed.

It had to be the fifth time Rinoa was making sure they'd spend the evening together. On the other hand,
Squall couldn't blame her. He had been kinda absentminded lately, and Rinoa was the one suffering from it
the most. Squall wondered why she hadn't left him already.

"Good. Meet me at the Quad then. Bye sweetie." Rinoa kissed Squall and gave him a loving smile.

Squall flinched slightly and glanced around, making sure there had been no one in the hallway. He wasn't
comfortable with kissing in public.

'Remember, you're lucky to have her...just like Zell said. You shouldn't take her for granted.' Squall told
himself as he stepped into his room. The brunette almost yelped when he saw Seifer in his room.

"What the hell are you doing here Seifer??" Squall exclaimed, surprised to see the blonde lie on his bed.
Seifer didn't answer him.

'Is he asleep?' Squall frowned as he stepped closer. 'Oh no..he...he isn't my new *room-mate*, is he??'
The brunette's frown deepened as he realised *he* was the one who had to share a room with the blonde
from henceforth.

'Great! Just great! No one even cared to inform me...And how rude can he be! I mean, why the hell does he
choose to nap on *my* bed, when there's a free one just on the other side of the room?'

Squall was starting to get angry and readied himself to grip Seifer's shirt and shake the blonde awake.
However, he stopped in mid-motion and his grey-blue eyes widened as he let them roam on Seifer's body .

Squall took a few steps back and let out a surprised gasp.

"My god!" the brunette exclaimed as he saw Seifer's arm, full of reddish needle-marks, a tight compression
belt tied around it. He let his eyes wander and saw a syringe on the floor, below Seifer's outstretched hand.

Squall suddenly felt dizzy and fought the urge to vomit. He was shaken by the sight before him. The
brunette took a deep breath, trying to gather his bearings.

Slowly he managed to calm down and lay his eyes down again. Squall felt a thousand things race in his
mind. 'He's on drugs? .... *Seifer Almasy is on drugs?!*'

Squall just couldn't believe his eyes. What the hell could have happen to his former rival? Had he been like
this for long?...Well, not longer than six months Squall reasoned, as he kneeled down to pick up the used
syringe. The man lieing on the bed was not the Seifer Almasy Squall knew. This was some pitiful junkie,
only a shadow of the always so proud and lively boy he used to know.

"Seifer? Can you hear me?" he whispered, shaking the blonde lightly. There was no response. The brunette
leaned closer to feel Seifer's pulse and inspect the look on his face. He noted Seifer's eyes were half-open,
but there was no movement in them. Carefully Squall brought his hand up and used his fingers to open one
the blonde's emerald green eyes.

'His pupils are dilated...'

Squall removed his leather glove and felt Seifer's forehead. It was damp with sweat and the blonde's
breathing was shallow.

'I....I don't know anything about drugs! Oh shit! Should I take him to the infarmiry?' Squall was starting to
panic as he stood up and walked towards the door. However, he stopped as he realised something.

'I..I can't take him to Kadowaki...If anyone knows of his addiction, he'll be thrown out even faster than he
came in...And then he'd be on his own...'

Squall turned around to look at the almost unconscious blonde lieing on his bed.

'I...I have to help him myself.' The brunette realised and suddenly felt helpless.

Squall noted Seifer's travelling-bag on the floor, near the bed. Most of it's contents had been rummaged
and thrown all over the floor.

'He must have been in need of a new dose when we ran into him earlier...'

Squall glanced back at Seifer and frowned as he noticed the blonde was starting to come back from his
drug-torpor. His eyes fluttered open and closed again.

'I---I need to find all of the stuff he's using and get rid of it, before Seifer wakes up.'

It wasn't hard, for it seemed Seifer had all his stuff in one bag. Squall's eyes went wide as he examined the
contents of the little paper bag. There was another syringe, different kind of tablets, capsules and pills.

'W-what is all this shit?' The brunette had no idea what all the stuff he saw before him was. All he knew they
would bring Seifer to his death, sooner or later.

He eyed the syringe and let his eyes travel to the needle marks on Seifer's arm.

'Intravenous drugs...that's bad!'

Feeling determined, Squall made sure he had everything in the bag. Quickly he got up and made his way
into the small bathroom, located near the second bed. Without even thinking it further, he emptied the
content of the paper bag in to the toilet, except for the syringe. That he threw in the litterbin, under the sink.

"There, now it's done. This is for the best...I *will* help Seifer recover." Squall told himself, still sounding
determined. Deep in his heart however, the brunette felt a bit scared and unsure. He was afraid of Seifer's
reaction when he'd realise Squall had just thrown all his drugs away, down in the toilet.
