Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Switch ❯ The Switch ( Chapter 1 )

The switch.

Notes: Okay this will get a little confusing. Seifer and Zell have switched bodies. At the beginning it's all Zell on his own so it's him thinking to himself but after the first ~><~ then it's Seifer(z) that means he looks like Zell but he's really Seifer. Zell(s) is the other way around, understand?

~

He groaned as the sun shone through he window and into his eyes. The sun didn't usually bother him because his dorm window was facing away from it. Zell stretched out an arm to grab his alarm clock beside to bed to see why it wasn't shrieking at him. His fingers touched wood and he opened a lazy eye. Where had his clock gone? Something felt cold around his neck. He sat up causing the covers to fell away. AHH! He was naked, where was his sweat pants that he usually wore to bed? This was his bed, his room, something was very wrong here.

"What the hell-" He clamped a hand over his mouth. That was not his voice, it was a deeper, familiar voice. He raised a hand to the thing around his neck; it felt like a necklace.

What had happened last night? He tried to remember. They had all gone out for a drink together, Squall had been the first one to get really drunk and fall all over Zell, clinging to him. The little blonde had to help him walk; the brunette was very different over the influence of alcohol. His hands were everywhere, Seifer was not happy. The blondes weren't really a couple but the taller man hung around a lot more than usual, maker it obvious that he liked Zell and they were closer in a arguing, teasing sort of way. Rinoa had entered the bar and seen Squall all over Zell. She and the commander had broken up weeks but she wanted him back. He remembered the girl yelling at him and Squall then bursting into tears. Oh god! He hadn't ended up in Squall's bed had he? This wasn't his room and he was naked! Zell pushed the blanket off himself and stood up. He felt different, there were less muscles on his arms and was it his imagination or was he a lot closer to the ceiling than usual? He studied the silver ring on his middle finger and ran a hand down his abdomen.

T-This wasn't right, what had that bitch done to him? He couldn't help it if Squall thought he was hot, Rinoa was just jealous because she didn't have what Squall wanted. Which seemed to be a flat chest and a dick. He chuckled at the thought. He froze, that was not his laugh. Okay this had gone far enough he headed for the bathroom and reached it in two long strides. Zell had little legs; he didn't take big steps like that. He walked through the door and hit his head on the top of the doorframe.

"Fuck!"

Were all the doors suddenly small or had he put on a foot overnight? He sealed himself for the truth and sidestepped into the mirror. He stared into the glass and a pair of green eyes stared back, his hair was now shorter and flatter and he looked like Seifer. No he was Seifer. He looked behind the mirror to see if anyone was playing a joke on him. He fingered the silver chain around his neck and read the engraved name. Almasy.

Oh god this had to be a joke, a sick, bad joke. Why did that bitch do this? He was so going to kill her for this and Seifer would probably help. Was this permanent? He hoped not, it had taken him years to build up his muscles and now he was Seifer. He ran back to the bedroom and opened the wardrobe. He had to find Seifer and soon, this could all be put right today if they got to Deling and killed Rinoa. Yeah that was a great plan. He opened a drawer and gingerly touched Seifer's boxers. Not really a fantasy of his this, having to go through and wear another man's boxers let alone Seifer's. He quickly got dressed in some black jeans and green vest; he pulled on the other blonde's infamous trench coat. He put his hands in the pockets and found half a packet of cigarettes. He stuck out his tongue, disgusting habit time for Seifer to quit. He threw them away and snuck out into the hall quietly. Should he be acting like Seifer now or being himself so he could get help? But who was going to believe this? It was madness; he didn't even want to believe it.

"SEIFER!"

He jumped and spun round to see Fujin.

"Fujin!" He hurried over to her and put his hands on her arms.

She frowned and whispered. "Are you okay?"

"You spoke."

"Y-e-s." She drew out the word. "I do that a lot with you and Raijin you know that right?"

"Err- yeah sorry long day."

"It's 8:30 in the morning." She told him with a worried look.

"Oh." He paused. "Well the thing is Fujin that I-err- need your help."

She waited for him to continue.

"Rinoa…. She did something to me and Sei- Zell." He paused, hoping she hadn't noticed his slip. "I woke up this morning and I was Seifer."

"What? Seifer I-"

"No! I'm not Seifer! I'm Zell! Rinoa was jealous because Squall wanted me and not her so she make me and Seifer switch bodies, don't you see?"

She stared for a moment. "S-Seifer I-I know you're under a lot of stress over the whole Squall and Zell thing but you'll find someone else, someone better than Zell."

"No I- Wait! S-Seifer really likes me? He's jealous over Squall? Really?"

"You are not Zell! Okay I know this is hard but-"

"No wait Fujin listen to me! I-I love hotdogs, I live in Balamb with my mum, Squall has a crush on me and that's why Rinoa did this to me!"

"Squall has a crush on you too? The slut!"

"What? No not me- well yes me but not the me that you know, the real me Zell but the other me Seifer, you see?"

She looked very confused.

"See? I ranted, that's a Zell thing to do; does Seifer ever do that?"

She narrowed her eyes suddenly. "Is this a joke? Are you playing with me?"

"I- Y-yes it's a joke." Faked a laugh. "Got you!" He ran away quickly, not wanting to know an angry Fujin.

~><~

Seifer(Z) ran a finger down his newly muscled stomach and chest. At first he'd thought it was a dream but Zell stared back at him in the mirror. He had stripped off the sweat pants that the other man wore to bed to get a better look. A slow smirked appeared on Zell's lips looking out of place. He was the Chicken-Wuss but this definitely had its advantages. His hand travelled lower until he wrapped a hand around his cock. He never knew chickie was hung. He watched the other man stroke himself in the mirror.

He groaned as someone knocked on the door interrupting him. He grabbed a pair of boxers from the drawer and opened the door. He raised an eyebrow at the very uncomfortable brunette who stood on the doorstep. After what happened last night he would have thought that Squall wouldn't have wanted to speak to anyone.

The brunette fidgeted. "Hi." He muttered.

"Hey!" Seifer(Z) stepped back to let him inside.

"Okay here's the thing." Squall started pacing back and forth. "Last night I-I don't remember a lot before Rinoa came in, I know what she said about us."

Seifer(Z) forced back a grin.

"D-Did I say anything? Or do anything to you?"

Seifer(Z) thought back to Squall clinging onto Zell, hands everywhere mainly on the little blonde's ass. He couldn't hold back a smile.

"What? Is it back? Tell me!"

Zell probably would have let him off easy but then again he wasn't Zell.

"Well nothing too bad…." He sat on the edge of the bed and Squall did too. "But you're hands didn't leave my ass all night."

"What?!"

"You leaned on me a lot and even tried to kiss me a few times."

Squall looked horrified. "Oh my god! I'm sorry I didn't mean to."

Seifer(Z) grinned. "Well we both know that's not true don't we?"

"What? What do you mean?"

The blonde leaned in closer. "You want me and we both know that."

Squall opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish. "I-I-I-I-"

Seifer(Z) ran a hand up the side of Squall's face causing a faint blush to run up Squall's neck to his cheeks.

The blonde suddenly captured a pair of stunned lips in his own. He had expected Squall squeak and run away or die of embarrassment but the brunette just moaned and eagerly returned the kiss. This had started as a bit of fun to scare Squall but hands now move up his new muscles, massaging the skin.

Maybe this was going a little too far, Squall was going to kill him when he realized and so was Zell, either way he was so dead. Seifer(Z) broke the kiss but Squall just leaned in more, the blonde gave him a little push backwards. "Slow down a bit yeah?"

"Why?"

Seifer(Z) opened his mouth to reply, feeling a bit shocked. Squall was so, so forward and non Squall-like. "Because- I- um- have to go somewhere."

The brunette's face fell.

"But- w-we can hang out later."

"Okay." He got up and gave the blonde a last quick kiss. "I'll come by later..." He offered the shorter man a sultry smile. "And I'm sure we'll find something to do."

Seifer(Z) was stunned. "Wait! Wait-err what about a date?"

"Date?"

"Y-Yeah we could go to the movies o-or something."

To his relief Squall smiled. "Yeah a movie sounds... good, I'll come by here at 6:00." He left and Seifer(Z) fell back onto the bed.

At least Squall had less chance of taking advantage of him at the movies right? 6:00? That gave him enough time to prepare and panic. When did everything get so complicated? He had a date with Squall, could he get switched back before then? On the other hand that would leave Squall alone with his Zell. No, he would go on the date first and then get switched back, yes that would be best. This way it gave him time to have some fun.

~><~

Zell(S) stopped dead in the middle of his panicked rush in front of the cafeteria. He knew that smell. HOTDOGS! He hesitated, there was time for lunch before he had to find himself, wasn't there? Of course there was. The blonde ran into the crowded room and straight up to the counter.

"4 hotdogs please."

The woman raised an eyebrow at his grin. "You're very cheerful today Seifer."

"Oh." Zell(S) tried to stop grinning for a second. "Well- err- you know it's a beautiful day."

She nodded doubtfully and handed him the plate. He bounced off to a table, unaware that most of the cafeteria was watching him. It wasn't often that Seifer Almasy bounced around grinning at people. The blonde noticed some cadets staring at him and silently cursed himself for not being enough like Seifer.

"Hey Seifer you know!"

The blonde looked up. Great, Raijin this would be a test of how much he was like Seifer.

He nodded at the large man as he sat at his table with a raised eyebrow. "You're eating hotdogs you know, I thought you hated them things."

"W-Well I thought I hadn't given hotdogs a free chance yet." He bit into one and grinned. He quickly tried to push back the toothy grin, he had never seen Seifer grin except for the one time that no one knew about with flirting and bad touching.

"Chicken food you called them you know."

Zell(S) mentally frowned and make a note to slap Seifer on the back of the head for that comment.

Raijin started to chat away mindlessly in the same way that Zell, the blonde realized that the very thing that Seifer teased him for Raijin did equally as well.

"...so we caught these junior class men and guess what movie they were watching? The little mermaid!"

Zell(S) leapt up and pointed madly at Raijin. "Ooh I love that movie!"

The large man looked puzzled and surprised. "Err-What?"

"Um... I mean..." He shrugged in that indifferent sort of way that he had seen Seifer do many times.

"Y-you like the little mermaid?"

Zell(S) frowned. "So what? It's a good movie!"

"O-Okay w-well we took it off them s-so if you want it you can take it you know."

The tall blonde grinned. "Thanks Raijin!" He sat back in his chair after finishing off his last hotdog. He shot back up again quickly then out of his chair. "I just remembered I have to go find Seifer- ZELL! I mean Zell!" He ran off leaving a very confused Raijin behind.

~><~

Seifer(Z) entered the front gate again. He had gone to lit a cigarette when he remembered that they were in his trench coat pocket, which was on his body with Zell behind the wheel. He had had to nip into Balamb to buy some more. He stopped beside the directory and lit up, he blew smoke out in front of him and sighed.

"Zell?"

He didn't respond for a minute but then he remembered that was him.

"Quistis?"

"You're smoking."

"Observant as always Instructor."

She gaped at him. "I'm just a little surprised I thought you hated smokers."

He shrugged. "I changed my mind." He turned to walk away.

"Also you can't smoke in here, garden rules." She looked smug, expecting him to put it out.

"So?" He left her staring after him.

"NO SMOKING DINCHT!"

Seifer(Z) smirked up at his albino friend. "Hey Fu-jin." He added the rest of her name when she looked at him sharply. She seemed to be staring at his cigarette.

He grinned and breathed smoke at her, she didn't even flinch. He laughed again. "Good job." He took a final drag and crushed it under foot. "Happy?"

"VERY." She stalked away."

"Zell?"

The blonde groaned. "What is it this time instructor?"

She paused. "Why do you keep calling me that? Did I do something to upset you?"

He gave her a sweet but sarcastic smile. "How could you ever upset me Instructor?" He went to try and leave again.

"Wait."

He sighed. "Is this going somewhere? I have to get ready for a date."

"You have a date?" She smiled. "Why didn't you tell me? With who?"

He smirked again. "Squall."

"You and Squall?"

"Jealous?"

She flushed. "Of course not I'm just surprised is all."

"Because we all know you wanted him. Why didn't you ever do anything?"

She stammered and hesitated. "I-I-It wasn't right."

He nodded. "Uh huh that's about right, Quistis Trepe, you've never done anything bad or dirty have you?"

"Zell? What-?"

"Haven't you ever been tempted? Just to go up to his office and pin him to his desk?"

She stared at him. "Um-"

He leant in close. "I bet he's a screamer, how about I keep you posted?"

She ducked her head and scuttled away. "I have to go."

The blonde chuckled. Oh that was fun! He looked around, who's the next victim?
