chapter 15

At the gym Zell was lying on the bench press with Seifer standing behind him to spot. "You're strong for a little guy ya know." Seifer said letting go of the weight Zell was lifting. He crossed his arms and stared off into the gym. "Thanks." Zell said, he stared up at Seifer getting a nice down shot of the 6'2" man.

'I can't believe this is happening I'm working out with Seifer and getting a great fucking view of his perfect body and he still has no idea how I feel. I need to be more careful incase things start to rise I don't need everyone seeing.' Zell kept his gaze upwards on Seifer and continued lifting the weight while listening to him.

"Now I'm gonna have to go back to Irvine and try to work this mess out." Seifer said to himself. "Stupid fucking media, fucking Irvine, fuck the whole damn fucking world for all I fucking care! as long as they leave me alone." Seifer yelled angrily thinking about all the crap that happened that morning.

"Things are that bad?" Zell asked making Seifer remember he wasn't alone and he looked down at him. "Maybe or I'm exaggerating. My turn I need to work out some of this blind fury." Seifer helped Zell put the weight back and he got off the bench and Seifer took his place. Zell stood over him the same way Seifer had done. 'The view from here is even better than down there.' He thought. Watching Seifer lift easily was making him extremely horny and his mind was wandering into other thoughts.

(Seifer places the weight back in its resting spot and sits up, Zell walks around in front of Seifer and gets pulled into Seifer's lap. They start kissing passionately and then Seifer stands up lifting Zell with him and lies him on the bench press and yanks his shorts down. He kisses him fiercely then slides his tongue down Zell's body while Zell holds on to Seifer's hair. Seifer's tongue finds his way to Zell's erection and....…)

"Hey I have to go." Seifer said putting the weight back. "Huh what?" Zell snapped out of it and saw Seifer getting up. "Maybe I'll see you later." Seifer said and they both walked to the door. "Yeah later, hey thanks for lunch." Zell said trying not to sound too disappointed that their time together was short lived. They stepped outside and Seifer smiled at him and started walking down the street. "Wait a minute I could be walking home with him, unless he's not going to the apartment. Ah fuck it." Zell went back inside to call Squall for a ride.

At the apartment Squall and Irvine were sitting at the kitchen table having a drink. "He showed up at the last minute on that damned motorcycle making a big show about it all. I couldn't believe my fuckin' eyes but I'd never been so damn delighted to see him." Irvine said then took a long drink. "Sorry I missed it." Squall said. "Oh I saw your little protégé there too, we had a nice little chat." Squall gave him a worried look. "Nah it was nothin' like that just friendly jawin' about stuff."

"The guy downstairs, the land lord said something happened this morning what was that about?" "Right almost forgot about that shit mess. I''m not one hundred percent sure myself but well I think someone knows about Seifer's little using problem. Now the whole damn community's gonna be breathin' down my neck about it. Police even tried to search the place."

"They'll be back." "Sure as shit they will, but they won't find anything. I already looked." The phone suddenly rang and Squall reached up to answer it. "You'd better hope they don't make him take a drug test. What is it?" He said into the phone after talking to Irvine. Irvine watched him listening. 'I missed you partner, friends is good and all but I need you more than that and I know you need me too'

"Its Zell, he needs me to pick him up." Squall said hanging up the phone. "That's alright I need to get back upstairs and look around some more, call the league execs and square this shit away before they get on my case." They got their coats and left the apartment. Irvine let Squall take the elevator down first. "Good luck with your hunt." Squall said before they waved to each other while the doors closed.

Seifer made his way between an alley of two large buildings and climbed easily over a wire gate that was at the end of the alley. He looked behind him to make sure no one was following him and then he ran to the back of one of the buildings and pushed aside a large broken piece of wood and walked inside. He went down a dark corridor and turned a corner going to a door where there was a man standing. He was only a few years older than Seifer.

"Hey champ haven't seen you in awhile." "Yeah I've been busy, can I get in?" Seifer said he was anxious to get in and out and hopefully for the last time. "Sure." The guy opened the door and they walked inside to a red lit room. There were a few girls around watching him and some guys gathered around a table playing cards. The guy at the door stepped back outside and Seifer made his way to the table.

"Hey Seifer, how's the boxing life goin?" Brian asked. "Fine if no one finds out I'm coming here." "What do you mean?" Justin asked. "Someone found spilled cocaine in the parking garage near my motorcycle. They just assumed it was mine now the media's been on my ass." "But it was yours wasn't it?" Brian said getting up from the table, he and Seifer started walking to a large table full of drawers. He pulled one open revealing a large assortment of powder and pills. Seifer picked up one of the powder packs and closed the drawer.

"This is the last time, I can't do this anymore not with people snooping around and the games coming up." He said giving the taller man his money. "That's a shame but we understand, long as no one else finds out about this place right?"

Seifer nodded and they walked back to the table. "Well guys this is Seifeys last day visiting us. What do ya say we celebrate?" Brian said everyone in the room cheered and someone started passing around beer bottles. One of the girls on an old couch turned on some music.

'Last time and then I'll go clean.' Seifer told himself and took a seat at the table and opened the newly bought bag of cocaine taking a sniff then he passed it to Justin who had his hand out waiting.

* * *

Squall and Zell were in the car going back to the apartment. "You seem to be in a better mood." Zell said feeling happier about the change in his friends attitude. "Yeah so do you." Squall said. "Yeah I am, I had a nice work out good lunch for free too." Squall looked at him questioningly. "I ran into Seifer Almasy when you left remember seeing him come in?" Squall nodded. "We talked awhile nothin much. So did you take care of business?" He said slyly. "Its not like whatever you're implying. I just had to talk to Irvine sort some things out." "So all's well now?" Zell asked hopefully. Squall looked off at the road thinking about the talk he had with Irvine and his decision to be just friends. Then he looked at Zell.

"Yeah in a way we're fine." "That's good. Because I don't think I could take another one of your distant distracted moods." Zell said and laughed, Squall made an annoyed noise but smiled to keep his laugh down. He turned the radio and pushed the tape in then turned the song up. "Alright, one thing I don't know why it doesn't even matter how hard you try..." Zell sang with the song then nudged Squall with his elbow. Squall feeling just as good now decided to join in too and they both nodded their heads to the up beat remixed song.

At the apartment Irvine was on the phone with the league execs trying to give them the real story or his story before they heard it any other way.

"What do you mean he's on drugs!!" The voice yelled from the other line and Irvine held the phone away from his ear. "Now now calm down it ain't really serious I mean well its not like he's on steroids or anything." "Jesus Kinneas don't you pay attention to what goes around there? How long has this been going on?" The exec asked. "I'm not sure sir but I promise you it stops today." "It'd better stop for good. Seifer is our best fighter and to get Deling on the map and have one of our guys representing in Esthar is a high honor. We can't have it all being fucked up because you can't lay down the law to him!" "I know sir and like I said today will be the day." Irvine said feeling a little hurt at what the other man had said. He knows what goes on around him and he did try a few times to stop Seifer before he got an addiction.

"Listen if any of this gets out they'll come to me asking questions about my knowledge of the whole damn thing. So you make sure that boy gets pumped clean today before the police make him take some test. I'll even pay the hospital bill just make sure you get it done." "Yes sir as soon as Seifer comes back I'll get right on it, and thank you sir." "Yeah yeah, listen Kinneas we've got money riding on Seifer making it to the final games and Esthar. So he'd better be there on time in top condition and you don't tell anyone I told you that or the city will have my ass and I'll have yours got it?" "I got it, goodbye sir." The other man hung up before Irvine could and sighed into the phone then slammed it on the table.

"How dare he talk to me like I'm some damn idiot. Don't they think I tried to stop him yell at him not me." He threw off his cowboy hat and yanked his hands through his bangs roughly. "Now I don't know where the fuck he is and can this day get any worse?"

Suddenly his doorbell rang and he looked at the door dreading who could possibly be on the other side. It rang again. "I'm coming I'm comin." He made his way over to the door and before he could open it all the way himself the police busted through.

"What the-" "Officer Cole, we have a warrant from Deling judge to search the place." The man held up his badge and the warrant giving it to Irvine. He looked it over and the cops were running around the place throwing things around and lifting couch pillows, moving pictures and everything else. "Hey hey! be careful with that." Irvine stormed angrily over to officer Cole and gave him back the warrant. "Look do they have to be so violent about it, ah not my bedroom." Irvine grabbed his head and ran into his room.

Outside of the building Squall and Zell were coming out of the parking garage and saw the police cars in front of the building. "Wonder what that's about?" Zell said as they walked inside. 'Oh no Irvine.' Squall thought remembering the talk they'd had before he went back to the gym. "Come on Zell." He said and they rushed in to the elevator and went to Irvine's floor. When they got their they saw his door open and heard noise from inside. "Cool." Zell said to himself as they went inside the apartment. "Look at this place." Zell mouthed.

Squall heard Irvine in the bedroom and went to find him. He was still pulling at his hair and clenching his teeth watching two guys trash the room. Squall touched him on the shoulder and Irvine turned around and hugged him. "Oh Squall they're messin up my place." He whined into Squall's shoulder. "What happened?" He asked and Irvine pulled away. "They got the fucking warrant to search the place." He said looking angrily in the direction of the two men. "Did they find anything?" Squall said lowering his voice. "No not yet and they won't I made sure of that myself." The two men finished their search and pushed their way out the door past Irvine and Squall and they followed them into the living room.

"Nothing in there sir." An officer said and two other men came out of Seifer's room shaking their heads. "All right lets head out," Officer Cole beckoned for the guys to leave and he approached Irvine. "You got lucky this time but if we have to we'll be back." Then he looked at Squall. "You a coach too?" Squall shook his head giving the man that icy glare. The officer looked at Zell who was watching from a corner then back to Squall. "I suggest you two watch yourselves or we'll be at your place next." "Just get out." Irvine said and the man made his way to the door Irvine followed him and slammed it shut after.

Irvine scratched his head and walked through the room kicking things around. "Shit." "I'll help you clean this up." Squall said "Yeah me too." "Thanks guys, I can't believe this fucking shit. Man when Seifer gets back here..." Suddenly the door flings open and Seifer falls halfway into the apartment. He starts laughing to himself and looks up. "Oh what happened here, you guys have a party without me?" He stood up all the way and stumbled into the apartment staggering his way to his room.

"All eyes on me huh?" They continued to glare at him as he went in his room. "The fuck happened in here!" He turned around and Irvine was standing in his doorway.

"You happened that's what." Seifer looked at him confused. "Where were you? and don't lie to me I wanna know now where were you?!" Irvine yelled. Squall and Zell where still in the living room trying not to listen and fixed up the chairs and tables.

"I was just taking a walk." "Don't give me that shit, you come up in here like life's a fuckin party and your the host, don't think I can't tell your high as a cloud," Seifer still stared in a daze. "ya know what never mind I don't care anymore. Just promise me now Seifer, where ever the hell you've been running off to you won't go there again ever and I mean it."

Seifer turned away and sat on his bed that no longer had a mattress on it. "I won't go there anymore." He said quietly. "Say it like you mean it?" Irvine said through clenched teeth. "I promise I won't go anymore geez, I swear never again can we just forget it." He stood up and started fixing his bed. "You know what?" Irvine said and started laughing to himself. "You are the luckiest bastard alive right now." Seifer continued to fix his bed. "I mean you had the place cleaned out before the police could find anything, the league's giving you an easy off by a warning. Even after what happened this morning you still managed to have a good time. You're somethin else hombre." He applauded him then left the room.

When Seifer heard the door close he turned around and stared after it. He felt like an ass and now was starting to feel the after shock of his afternoon party. He ran his hand over his hair and sat on the bed heavily dropping his head in his hands.

Out in the living room Squall and Zell already had most of the mess cleaned up.

"Thanks guys but I'll take it from here, besides we've got those matches tonight right? You'd better go." Irvine said he started picking up pictures and putting them back where they belonged. "Yeah ok. Come on Zell." Zell waved to Irvine and he smiled back then Zell went to the elevator to wait for Squall. "Sorry Irvine, .................see you tonight." Squall said putting a hand on the taller mans shoulder then going to the door. Irvine rubbed his forehead then started cleaning up again.

........................................

In Squall and Zell's apartment. "What was that all about?" Zell asked, Squall was in the fridge taking out a bag of salad. "You mean Seifer didn't tell you at the gym?" He asked. Zell made his way to the kitchen table. "No not really." Squall tossed him a plate then fork. "Irvine said some people found out about Seifer doing drugs and words been getting around. The police got a warrant to search the place." "Yikes, you think they'll still let him fight?" Zell asked pouring salad onto his plate. Squall handed him the dressing then went back to the fridge and pulled out some cold chicken. "From what we heard in there I think he'll be fine." He put the chicken in the microwave.

Zell got up and went to turn the t.v on, he turned it up enough so they could hear from the kitchen. When the chicken was finished they sat down to dinner. "We have to get to the arena early tonight so you can work out a little more before the match." "Oh yeah I almost forgot about that." "If you beat all the competitors tonight that's it you made it to the final game ya know." "Sweet and then its more training and off to Esthar baby!" Zell slammed his hands on the table and he and Squall smiled and began eating.

television: "In sports today just earlier this morning police got an anonymous call reporting drugs spilled in a parking garage at a local city apartment building. Police went to investigate and sure enough found the white powder known as the illegal drug cocaine." The anchor woman said.

Zell and Squall looked at each other then Squall reached for the phone on the wall and called Irvine while Zell turned the t.v up more. "Are you watching the news?" Squall said when Irvine picked up. "No, what channel?" Irvine said from the other end. "Zell channel?" "Uh three." Zell said he sat on the coffee table staring at the t.v

"Three. Call back if you need to, yeah bye." They both hung up. Irvine turned on the t.v and went to channel three. Seifer came out of his room and stood behind Irvine to see what was going on.

News: "The substance was found around the motorcycle of Deling City boxing champion Seifer Almasy."

"Shit." Seifer said and he and Irvine looked at each other then back at the television. There was a picture of Seifer from the game the other night riding in on the motorcycle.

"Police then further investigated this morning going to the boxers home and questioning him. Sources say both Almasy and his long time friend and coach Irvine Kinneas refused to answer questions. Police then returned for a search warrant, news on the search has yet to be revealed. There is still no real proof that the powder found belonged to the boxer at this time either. Police have been asked to speak with the NBL executives about the situation as I speak." The women then disappeared from the screen and they were showing a riot of people outside the leagues office building.

"We want to know what you're doing about the drug situation?" A woman shouted. "Test the fighters test the fighters!" The crowd chanted. "Will Seifer get to stay in the game?" A man yelled. Some people were there as fans and support concerned for the boxer. Another female reporter stood with the police while they questioned a representative from the league.

"Rinoa Caraway here with DC news channel three. We're standing out the boxing league building with a league rep talking about the news of drugs and what role they play in the city's favorite sport." She held the mic out to the man who was already speaking with the police. "We are already setting up drug test for every fighter participating in the championship games. If anyone comes up positive we'll take the immediate actions necessary. Other than that there's been no history of drugs in the game, what the boxers do isn't always under our control but we will make sure things run smoothly and clean thank you." "Excuse me sir?" "I'm sorry no more questions please that was all I know of the situation."

The man went back inside the building. "There you have it, this is Rinoa signing off." The screen went back to the anchor woman. "Don't forget to catch tonight's game determining who will be the ones to make it to the final game in Esthar. These matches unfortunately will not be broadcast. In other news."

Irvine turned the t.v off and looked at Seifer. His phone started ringing and he quickly answered it. "Hello." "We have everything ready for the cleaning I need you to get Seifer there early tomorrow morning around six. No one knows about this but you me and the doctors so keep it that way." A man on the phone said and hung up. Irvine put the phone back and walked over to Seifer.

"We have to get you pumped tomorrow morning before they announce the drug testing. Six a.m so don't go wanderin off before then." "Irvine, look this wasn't supposed to happen I didn't know." "Save it we'll talk about it later. Right now we need to get this place cleaned up and be ready for tonight." Irvine went inside his room. Seifer sighed and went to sit on the couch.
