Chapter 8:

'Ah, he's finally asleep.' Squall gently lay Seifer down on the sofa, making sure he didn't wake the blonde. He stood up and
picked Hyperion up from the floor. The brunette inspected the weapon carefully in his hands. 'Beautiful...' he thought, and put
the Gunblade aside. Squall kneeled beside Seifer and gently stroked the older boy's cheek. "I'm so sorry..." he whispered, eyeing
the blonde, looking concerned.

'Gods Seifer! You look like you haven't eaten anything in weeks!...The last time I saw you, you didn't look this bad...I have to
get you to eat something, so you'll get your strength back...And the Cafeteria is closed at this hour! Damn! I wonder if he has
anything in his fridge...'Squall stood up and walked to the mini-fridge.

"No no no...Empty!" He glanced to the direction of the sleeping blonde. 'Guess I'll have to go get something from my room
then..' Squall quickly kissed Seifer on the lips and left. The hallways were empty and silent. Everyone was probably already in
their rooms, sleeping. 'I wish he could have his eyesight back...I would give *anything* if I'd only be able to give him his sight
back!' the brunette thought and frowned. Squall's room wasn't so far away from Seifer's and he quickly got to his mini-fridge
and grabbed everything he had in it, then left the room. 'His blindness isn't caused by magic, so, it can't be cured with it
either...What about...what about a surgical operation? Would the doctors be able to give him his eyes back?' Squall stopped and
stood still, thinking. 'Kadowaki would probably know...But she isn't at the Infarmiry this late.' he frowned. 'Well, in that case,
I'm gonna pay her a visit at her room.'

Squall turned around and headed for the Faculty Area. It took a while for Kadowaki to open the door, and when she finally
appeared in the chink of the door, Squall saw she was in her pyjamas, which made him blush a little.

"Squall? Squall Leonhart? What are you doing here *this late*?" the doc asked, a little confused.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this hour doctor, but I have something important I need to ask you."

"Well, you've already woken me up, so might as well ask me then.." Kadowaki sighed. Squall raised his gaze and swallowed.

"Doc, what do you know about Seifer Almasy's blindness?"

"Squall, I'm not supposed to tell you about my patient's-"

"Please doctor Kadowaki!..It's really important to me..I-" The doc frowned, but agreed to talk.

"Well, I know he lost his eyesight on the mission.. was it three months ago?" Squall gave her a nod. "He hit his head on a rock
wall, and the hit damaged his optic nerves, which caused him to lose his eyesight immediately, and also made him unconscious
for 24 hours." she said, yawning. When Kadowaki saw the look on Squall's face, she understood why the boy was there.

"Squall, you want to know if Seifer will be able to see again, am I right?" Squall nodded again. "Well Squall, Seifer's vision
can't be cured with magic, for it was caused by a hit on his head." She saw the brunette's features darken. "However, a surgical
operation could give him his eyesight back.." she added. Squall raised his face, a glimpse of hope lingering in his greyish eyes.

"The operation Squall, is *very* expensive and can only be done in Esthar. It's also risky, and it isn't guaranteed that Seifer will
get his sight back, even if he does take the-" Kadowaki didn't even get to end her sentence, when Squall was already running
down the hall.

"Thanks doc!" he yelled from the other end of the long hallway. Squall was quickly back at Seifer's room and made his way in.
"Seifer! I have some good news!" The blonde slowly made it to a sitting position, looking very sleepy. "But first Seifer, you eat.
You look like shit!"

"Oh thanks!" the blonde snorted, but gave Squall a weak smile. Squall put a grape in the blonde's mouth. "Mmmph! What's-"
Seifer jumped, a little surprised.

"Eat! You need to get your strength back..." Squall said and put another grape in the blonde's mouth. "Don't I get nothing but
fruits?" Seifer frowned, his stomach making loud noises.

"Later. You have to start with something light, 'cause your stomach has shrunk during these past three weeks." For some time
they sat in silence. Squall watched Seifer eat. He knew Seifer had forgiven him the whole training-thing, even if the blonde
hadn't yet said anything about it. Just by looking at his face, he knew he didn't have to explain himself anymore. 'Everything
will be fine, now that we're together again...I'll make Seifer feel better and forget all the bad things.'

"God I missed you Seifer.." Squall said and kissed the blonde's hand.

"I missed you too Squall." The older boy smiled, slightly surprised by the other's sudden action.

"Seifer, I saw Kadowaki just a moment ago, and she told me-"

"She told you I could get my vision back with an operation, performed in Esthar." Seifer took the sentence from Squall's mouth.

"You knew about it? Y-you never told me...But why?"

"Squall, she did mention the operation is *very* expensive? I also doubt she forgot to tell you that it's risky, and even if my
eyes are operated, it isn't guaranteed I'll get my eyesight back." Squall was a little confused, not understanding Seifer's attitude.
"Come on Squall, let's face it. Not in a million years will I have the money to pay for the operation, so just forget it...That's what
I did."

'But Seifer...How can you just give up like that, if there's a chance for you to get your eyesight back!?...Well...the money *is* a
problem, but ...we could think of something...I'm sure of it...Maybe if we'd ask Zell and the others some money...and maybe
Matron and...no, Seifer would never agree to that. He's too damn proud! And I'm sure they wouldn't have enough money..not
even to begin with.' Seifer knew Squall was having one of his internal monologues, when the brunette hadn't said a single word
in five minutes.

"Squall?" Squall didn't seem to hear him, but suddenly raised his head.

"Of course!" he exclaimed. 'Why didn't I think of this earlier! My father will help! I'm sure of it!'

"Seifer! I know who can help you! Laguna Loire, the President of Esthar!" Seifer frowned immediately.

"Your father? Squall, *no*, I'll never-" he shook his head.

"Dammit Seifer! You either get over your damned pride or stay blind the rest of your life! Laguna might be simple, but he has a
heart of gold. He'll help us for sure." Squall took Seifer's hand into his own and squeezed it gently. "Seifer, I won't take no for
an answer." he said firmly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Two weeks had passed. Squall was unpacking Seifer's clothes. They were in Esthar Presidential Palace, in a huge bedroom. It
had taken Squall some time to get Seifer to agree to go through with his plan, but he finally succeeded. Squall had called
Laguna, and explained everything, and the President had agreed almost immediately. Seifer's operation was going to be
tomorrow morning. The blonde was pacing around the spacious room, looking nervous. Squall saw this and took his hand and
led them on the bed.

"Seifer. It'll be alright, don't worry." Seifer lay down and Squall crawled into his arms.

"Squall...What if..if something goes wrong? Kadowaki told us the operation has its risks and-" Squall silenced the blonde by
kissing him on the lips.

"Seifer, if I'd think there might be even the slightest chance, for you to get hurt, I wouldn't let you do this." Seifer still looked
worried. "Swe---sweetheart..." Squall said, which made Seifer smile. Such a word coming from Squall Leonhart was very rare.

"Every single operation has its risks...And I'm sure the doctors will explain everything to us tomorrow." Squall's words made
Seifer feel a little better. He tickled the smaller boy, and was just about to turn him over when there was a knock on the door.

"Yes?" Squall called, and a servant stepped through the door. "Mr. Leonhart, your room is ready now."

"Ok, thank you." The servant left and closed the door.

"*Your* room? Squall, we have separate rooms in here?" Seifer asked, confused. "Well...Father doesn't really know about us,
so..." Seifer frowned. "But don't worry, I'll sneak out later." Squall said smiling impishly, though he knew Seifer couldn't see
the expression on his face. "You think I'm gonna let you spend *this* night alone?" He curled up beside Seifer and nuzzled
against his chest. 'You're still skinny...but at least you're not what you were two weeks ago..' he thought, as he felt Seifer's chest
against his cheek. Squall stood up from the bed. "Seifer, I'll let you get some rest now, for tomorrow....and for tonight." he
added and squeezed the smiling blonde's thigh.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Squall walked the long hallways of the Palace and ran into Quistis. She was the one Seifer had wanted to join them to Esthar.
"Hey Squall." she said, smiling and stroking her long blonde locks. "So, how's Seifer doing?" They sat down on a richly
decorated sofa.

"Well, he's really nervous...But that's just something to be expected right?"

"Of course Squall. And he'll probably be even more scared tomorrow morning." She saw from the brunette's face that Squall too
was nervous. "Squall, have you yet talked with the doctors about the operation?"

"Well, not yet..I mean Seifer did talk with them on the phone, and Kadowaki has given us a lot of information about the
operation, but the doctors will tell Seifer all the details tomorrow." Squall swallowed audibly. "There...there shouldn't be any
huge risks...I mean they have the top surgeons and equipment here in Esthar, so everything should be fine."

"And still you worry Squall, and I'm telling you it's *ok*." Quistis said with reassuring voice.

"Quisty...what if..what if the operation won't give Seifer his sight back? What if he goes through all this for nothing?" Squall's
voice was shaky. "....Quistis. He will break..." The blonde girl noted there was a slight hint of panic in Squall's voice, and took
his gloved hand into hers.

"Hey, Seifer knows what he's up to. He knows the chances for him to get his eyesight back are ....well, very small." Quistis
tried to calm down the brunette, who remained silent for a while.

"I...I feel he's actually doing this for me, more than for himself...Oh Quisty, why did I have to talk him into this? I-"

"Squall. Stop that. Now." The girl said firmly but gently. With this, the brunette got up.

"You're right. Everything will be fine. Thanks Quistis. I'll see you tomorrow then." he said, smiling at the blonde girl.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Squall stood outside Seifer's room, wearing only the pants of his pyjamas. He quietly opened the door and sneaked in. It was
dark inside. He could hear Seifer snoring on the bed and smiled. 'Sleeping, eh? Well not for long.' The brunette crept into the
bed and tried to move as lightly as possible, wanting to surprise the blonde. Squall finally reached Seifer's torso and planted a
light kiss on both of his nipples. The blonde moved in his sleep and started to wake up. Squall leaned back and remained silent.
Seifer inhaled deeply, his nostrils filling with the air surrounding him. "Squall?" he asked with a hoarse voice.

"Hey! How did you know I was here? I didn't make a sound!" the boy asked, surprised. Seifer sat up and searched Squall with
his hands. When he found what he was looking for, he pulled the brunette into his arms.

"Well, the thing is Squall, I can kind of smell you." he said and yawned.

"Smell me?!" Squall exclaimed.

"I think the blindness has made my other senses more keen. I can also hear better." Seifer said, inhaling Squall's scent. The
brunette moved a little, so that he was face to face with Seifer. He remained still for a moment and inspected Seifer's features in
the dim lighting the moon provided him. Squall lowered his gaze down to Seifer's lips and slowly licked his own, before uniting
them into a passionate kiss. Seifer responded immediately, thrusting his tongue into the other's hot mouth. Squall was suddenly
rolled over by the blonde, and lay on his back, Seifer on top of him. They hadn't done anything like this in at least over five
weeks, and both of them were now driven mad by lust. Seifer was kissing Squall's lips so hard, it left bruises. They were both
panting already, and Squall grabbed the blonde by his shoulders and pulled him down. He started to rub their hardening
erections together, and quickened the pace when Seifer parted from their kiss and let out a loud moan. The pressure in their
groins was starting to become unbearable. Squall yanked his pyjamas down, noting his pre-cum had soaked through the fabric.
Seifer was already naked under the blanket and pulled Squall under it as well.

"Fuck yeah...You're so hard Squall! You want me to touch you baby?" Seifer breathed, sounding a little odd, even to himself.
They weren't used to talking dirty. Squall moaned in answer and felt Seifer's hand start to pump his erection. "These past weeks
have made me *so* horny!" The blonde panted. Seifer hesitated, before continuing. "Squall...Can I be inside you?" he asked
and slid his finger down to brush at Squall's entrance, causing the brunette to tense. Seifer immediately raised his hand and
continued pumping Squall's leaking cock. "It's ok sweetheart. We'll do it when you're ready." he said and kissed Squall on the
lips.

"I love you Seifer." the brunette breathed. When he felt he was close, he wrapped his fingers around Seifer's erection and started
stroking it.

"Please Seifer, harder! Faster!...I'm so close" Squall pleaded, the aching pressure in his dick making him beg for relief. His own
hand was still pumping Seifer hard, and he could feel Seifer thrust into his fist.

"This is it!" Seifer groaned and squeezed Squall's erection in his hand. Neither of them could last any longer and they both came
nearly at the same time, releasing on each other's hands. They lay on the bed, exhausted.

"Seifer. That was so good." Squall said, his breathing still uneven. The blonde kissed his forehead. Squall moved a little and
looked up. "Seifer...You...you can be inside me when this is all over." he whispered. Seifer knew what Squall meant and
nuzzled his face against the brunette's damp hair. "I love you Squall." he whispered into the younger boy's ear. Squall stayed
with Seifer the whole night and fell asleep into his arms.
