Chapter 6:

"Squall are you ready? The reservation is for seven o'clock and it's already past six." Seifer called, knocking at
the bathroom door. "We'll be late if you don't come out." He told Squall, glancing at the alarm clock on the
nightstand. Seifer ran his fingers through his honey-coloured hair and straightened the wine-red, taut shirt he
was wearing. Finally the bathroom door opened and Squall stepped out, looking better than ever.

"Wow! Squall! I thought you were going to dinner with *me*, not to pick up girls!" Seifer exclaimed, eyeing
Squall from tip to toes. The brunette just rolled his greyish eyes, but still, felt a blush creep on his face. He had
spent almost an hour getting ready, but still wasn't pleased with the way he looked. Squall was wearing a black
silk shirt and had left some of the buttons open. To make up the entity, the brunette wore his black leather
pants, missing all the belts however.

"I *am* going out with you Seifer!" Squall muttered, lowering his face, trying hide the blush.

"Aww...so you dressed up just for *me*...You really are a true friend Squall." Seifer joked, a smirk on his pink
lips. Squall narrowed his eyes at Seifer, letting out a small groan.

"Let's go already! Weren't you just saying we're going to be late..." the brunette sighed, grabbing Seifer by his
hand and led them out of the dorm-room. It had been a month now, from the day Seifer had promised Squall
he'd take him to dinner when he was feeling better. The blonde had made a reservation to Balamb's finest
restaurant. It was his way to try and repay Squall all the trouble he'd put him through. During the past month the
two of them had become close to each other and were now good friends. Actually, Seifer considered Squall to
be his best friend, but wasn't sure of the brunette's feelings. This only made him wonder why had he been such
a prick towards the younger man before the Ultimecia incident. 'Well...I was an asshole towards *everyone*
back then...' Seifer admitted to himself. They walked past the halls, towards the Parking lot. Seifer spun the car
keys in his fingers as they picked up a blue car from the row.

"I'll drive Squall." Seifer informed the brunette and made him sit on the passenger seat. "I *can* still remember
the way you drove in Deling City at the parade." The blonde chuckled. Squall just snorted and sat down, a
forced scowl on his face. The drive to the small harbour town was quick. Seifer stopped the car in front of the
restaurant and told Squall to go on ahead while he'd park the car. Squall nodded and got up. He walked up the
stairs leading to the entrance of the restaurant and stepped in. The brunette walked to the man standing in the
podium.

"There's a reservation...with the name 'Almasy'." Squall told the man, and was escorted to their table. He sat
down, looking around. 'Fancy...How can Seifer afford this? The food here must be expensive...'
Squall shook his head politely at the waitress, as the girl handed Squall the wine-list.
"No thanks, I'll just take ice-water." The brunette told the girl. Squall himself was still underage and Seifer was a
recovering drug addict, so the brunette reasoned it was best to stick to plain water. After a while the girl returned
with a pitcher and filled Squall's glass with water. She handed Squall the menú and left to serve another table.
Squall browsed through the list of food and glanced at his wristwatch. It had been already over 10 minutes and
the brunette was wondering what was keeping Seifer. After a while, the waitress returned.

"Are you ready to order sir?" she asked, preparing to write Squall's order down into her memo.

"I---um could you wait just a--" Squall glanced to his right and saw Seifer finally arrive at the restaurant.
"Uh, yes, I'm ready to order now that my friend has joined me." Squall told the girl as Seifer seated himself on
the table.

"I'm sorry Squall that it took me so long...but it was really hard to find a free place at the parking lot." Seifer said,
giving the brunette an apologetic look. Squall was about to give Seifer a nod, but was interrupted by the
waitress.

"What do you mean sir? Our parking lot's almost empty, is it not?" she asked, a confused look on her petite
face. Squall eyed Seifer, raising his eyebrows.

"I--uh, yes well I didn't use *your* parking lot, now did I." Seifer told the girl, shooting her an annoyed glance.
"And we would like to order now, if it's not an impossibility!" the blonde spat, surprising both the waitress and
Squall with his sudden rudeness.

"Of course sir, what will you be eating?" the girl enquired, hiding behind her memo.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Squall leaned back in his chair and emptied his glass, meeting Seifer's eyes. "That was wonderful. Thanks
Seifer, for treating me this dinner." He smiled at the blonde sitting just across him.

"Hey, this is the least I can do Squall! After all, I do owe you my life, and nothing can ever repay that debt."
Seifer told Squall, snapping his fingers at the waitress, ready to pay for the food.
After dealing with the bill, they walked out of the restaurant. The night air was cool, the smell of ocean filling
their nostrils. Seifer gazed up in the sky, marvelling the stars.

"Hey Squall, I don't wanna return to Garden just yet. What do you say we take a walk and go to the harbour?"
the blonde asked, looking down at the brunette. Squall met Seifer's glimmering eyes and gave the blonde an
approving nod. Seifer stuck his hands into his pockets as they walked the streets of Balamb town. It was quiet,
and they encountered only a few people on the way to the harbour. When they reached their destination, Seifer
led Squall to the pier and motioned him to sit down at the end. Squall was enjoying the silence and felt peaceful.
The only visible sound were the waves hitting against the pier. The brunette slowly raised his face and studied
Seifer's features in the dim lighting of the night.

"Seifer...Are you happy?" Squall asked the older man beside him. Seifer opened his eyes and looked down to
meet Squall's grey ones.

"Yeah Squall, I'm happy...How about you?" the blonde enquired, a soft smile on his lips. Squall gave him a nod
and remained silent for a while, studying his fingernails.

"Seifer, aren't you sad that you're alone? I mean--you probably don't even have any time to hit on ladies when I
take all your time..." The blonde blinked his eyes at Squall, slightly bewildered. There was a frown on his face as
he turned to fully face the brunette.

"Squall...you don't *take* my time. I enjoy being with you, and I'm happy that we're friends now." Seifer told the
smaller man and lowered his face before continuing. "Also...about the ladies...Squall, I think you should know
something about me." The blonde kept his gaze down on his lap. "I---I don't...like girls Squall...in *that* way."
Seifer finally said, his voice almost a whisper. Squall frowned, feeling surprised. He felt a hot waive rush
through his body as Seifer raised his face and met Squall's glimmering eyes. The brunette was speechless and
just stared at his friend, blinking his eyes nervously. 'He's...gay?'

"Squall! Say something..." Seifer said, bothered by the silence.

"I---I uh...W-what about Rinoa??" Squall finally managed to stammer.

"What about her Squall?" Seifer asked, a bit confused at the mention of the girl.

"You used to date her before me, didn't you?" Squall explained himself. There was a light smile on the blonde's
lips as he shook his head.

"No, I didn't Squall. Well...I'm not saying she didn't have any feelings for me, but I myself considered her to be
nothing but my friend.." Seifer told the confused-looking brunette.

"Oh..." was all Squall could manage. He turned his face to look out into the dark horizon.

"Squall, we are still friends, right? Please tell me this doesn't bother you..." Seifer suddenly asked, when he
noticed the brunette was obviously deep in thought. Squall turned to look to his right and met Seifer's worried
gaze. He raised his hand and patted the blonde's shoulder.

"Of course we're still friends Seifer...And...I'm *not* bothered by the fact that you like men." Squall told the older
man, giving him a light smile. Seifer sighed, feeling relieved. He turned to look up to the cloudless night sky,
filled with stars. There was a long silence between them, but it wasn't an uncomfortable one. Squall was secretly
watching Seifer from the corned of his eye, suddenly feeling curious.

"Seifer...what does it feel like?...Is it different?" Squall suddenly asked the blonde man beside him. The look on
Seifer's face was confused as he looked down to Squall.

"What do you mean?" Seifer asked and met Squall's eyes, glimmering with curiosity.

"I mean...that is it different when you kiss a boy instead of a girl...or when you---make love to a boy, and not to a
girl..." Squall whispered, lowering his blushing face, his eyes blinking nervously from what he just said. Seifer
raised his brows, surprised by Squall's question. After a moment of thinking, the older man shifted, so that he
was face to face with Squall. The brunette raised his face, leaning back slightly. With little hesitation Seifer
brought his hand up to cup Squall's cheek, and slowly closed the distance between them, by pressing his lips on
Squall's. The brunette let out a surprised moan and blinked his eyes. Seifer could feel Squall's long eyelashes
flutter against his cheek as he deepened the kiss. He brought his tongue out and licked the other boy's lower lip,
asking for a permission to slip the muscle inside Squall's hot cavern. To Seifer's surprise, the brunette parted his
lips, allowing Seifer to thrust his tongue into his mouth. The blonde was even more surprised when he felt Squall
massage his slick tongue against Seifer's. After a moment, the blonde leaned back, breaking the kiss for air. He
studied the younger man, noting he was panting slightly. Squall was speechless. All he could do was to stare at
the handsome man before him, slowly realising he had just kissed Squall.

"So...was it different Squall?" Seifer finally asked the panting brunette, a smirk on his slightly swollen lips.

"....It was..." came Squall's answer.

"Did you like it?" Seifer continued with the questions, meeting Squall's eyes. The brunette was silent before
giving his answer.

"I did. " he told Seifer, lowering his face. Seifer smirked when he heard Squall's favourable answer. He brought
his hand up, forcing Squall to meet his eyes.

"Do you want me to kiss you again Squall?" Seifer enquired, smirking when he saw Squall nod his answer. The
blonde leaned in closer, uniting their lips into another sweet kiss.
