Chapter 55: He represents the moron-pop guild

 

Before Squall and Seifer returned home they stopped at a nice little restaurant and had a late lunch, neither had really eaten anything earlier, since they had both been a little nervous about the meeting that was going to take place with Gene Caraway. Before they went into the restaurant, Squall pulled the ditty bag out from under the passenger seat.

 

Dropping the visor mirror he removed the colored contacts and put them in their carrying case. Then carefully peeled off the fake mustache, cringing slightly as it tugged on the sensitive skin above his upper lip. Pulling a couple of alcohol swabs out he used them to remove the last traces of spirit gum that he had used earlier to attach the artificial facial hair.

 

Seifer stuck out his lower lip and pouted a little, “I was hoping that you'd leave it on a little longer. It makes you look so sinister.”

 

After placing the thin strip of hair in its carrying case and shoving it along with the contacts back in the bag, Squall turned to him and smiled, “If you want me to I can put it back on when we get home so I can tickle your um…fancy.” Squall finished the word fancy with a deep growl in his throat and winked at his boyfriend.

 

Seifer smirked at him and asked, “So is fancy the Italian word for dick?”

 

Squall shook his head and laughed, “You are so vile.”

 

“You know it baby, but that's what you love about me. Seifer replied and waggled his eyebrows at his sexy brunet lover.

 

After his son had abruptly hung up on him Laguna called his daughter on Squall's landline and informed her that he was on his way to see her and if she knew what was good for her she would be there waiting.

 

Carrie stared at the receiver and groaned. She wasn't a coward far from it, but she really didn't want to have to face down her father alone. Knowing him like she did he would just pick her up chuck her in his car and take her back to Monterey no matter how much she protested.

 

She had no idea when Squall and Seifer were going to be home and she wanted someone else to be there when her father showed up. Flipping open her cell phone she scrolled down and punched enter when she found Kadaj's number.

 

Kadaj was spending the day with his brother catching up on what had been happening in their lives since they had last seen each other. When his phone rang he almost ignored it but a little voice told him to answer, and when he saw whom it was from smiled and was glad he did. “Hello Honey Bear.”

 

“Kadaj can you come over to my brothers. He and Seifer aren't here and my father is on his way to talk to me and I really don't want to be here alone when he gets here.” Carrie said quickly.

 

“I'm on my way. Is it okay if Yaz comes along too?”

 

“Yes that's fine. Please hurry. I don't know where he was when he called, if he was still in Monterey you have plenty of time, but he could have very well been calling from down the street.”

 

“Don't open the door to anyone until I get there.”

 

Yazoo had picked up his own cell phone and called Cloud and told him that he and Kadaj where on there way over to Squall's and as soon as he was finished in the recording studio to meet them there. Cloud had told him that they were just wrapping up for the day and would be there as soon as he could.

 

When Kadaj arrived at Squall's he saw that there were no other cars there and released the knuckle-popping grip he had on the steering wheel. Screeching to a halt he undid his seatbelt, and jumped out of the car leaving the motor running.

 

Yazoo watched the retreating back of his brother and chuckled softly. Kadaj was sprung on Carrie Loire and he hoped that she felt the same way about him. He loved his little brother and didn't want to see him get hurt again.

 

Reaching the front door Kadaj pushed the doorbell several times and waited impatiently for Carrie to answer.

 

Carrie heard a car pull up in the drive and prayed silently that it was either her brother or Kadaj. She was expecting the doorbell to ring but it still scared her a little when the noise filled the quietness of the house. Clutching Little Seifer to her chest she made her way to the door and looked through the peephole and let out the breath that she didn't realize that she had been holding.

 

Unlocking the three locks she swung the door open and caught herself before she fell into Kadaj's arms. She wasn't one of those weak helpless ninnies who stood around and waited for a man to rescue her, but damn sometimes a girl needed a little help in the rescuing.

 

Kadaj reached out and grabbed her in a tight hug somehow managing not to squish the kitten in his haste to make sure she was all right. “Are you okay?”

 

Carrie leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed, “I'm fine Kaj. I'm better now that someone else is here.”

 

Yazoo had turned off the engine and put the car in park and exited it coming up behind his brother he placed a warm comforting arm on her shoulder and said softly, “Everything is going to be fine now fair damsel, the cavalry has arrived and reinforcements are on their way.”

 

Carrie brought her head up from Kadaj's shoulder and smiled at the elegantly beautiful man who was standing behind him she said, “You really know how to make a girl feel special Yazoo. Are you sure you're gay?”

 

Cocking his head to the side Yazoo returned her smile and said, “Yes I am.” Then finished with a laugh his cat green eyes sparkling with mischief, “For you my lady, I might be willing to make an exception, but only for you.”

 

Kadaj didn't want to let her go but knew that to be more secure they needed to move into the house. He was relieved that he had gotten there before her father had. He couldn't hate the man after all he was only looking out for his daughter's best interest. And after speaking with not only Carrie but also Cloud about him he came to the same conclusion that the spiky haired blond had. There was something seriously wrong with Laguna Loire.

 

Before they could go into the house Cloud pulled up in his electric blue Silverado. Slamming it into park he turned the engine off and jumped out of the truck. Dashing over to where the three people were still standing he yanked Carrie out of Kadaj's arms and hugged her tight. “What's wrong Sweet Pea? The only thing that Yaz said was to meet he and Kadaj here. Are Squall and Seifer okay?”

 

Carrie took comfort in his arms. This was Cloud one of her first major crushes and now he was one of her best friends. “I'm fine Cloud and so are Squall and Seifer. It's just that my dad is on his way here and I didn't know when Squall and Seif were going to get home and I really didn't want to face him alone.”

 

“Don't worry Sweet Pea, your knight in shining leather is here.” Cloud said and ruffled her hair affectionately. Like Squall she was one of his best friends but it was more for him she was the little sister he never had. Shit he wondered what in hell was going on with Laguna. Once again he considered the fact that the older man was on drugs.

 

Kadaj went to Carries other side and put his arm around her as well and offered, “Why don't we go in the house now?”

 

Cloud chuckled darkly, “That probably wouldn't be a bad idea. The paparazzi could be lurking, and I really don't want to replace Britney Spears as the fodder for the masses. I can see it now, `Notorious rock star Cloud Strife in love square.”

 

Yazoo gave his boyfriend a quizzical look and said, “Love square? I thought it was a love triangle?”

 

Cloud quirked a blond eyebrow at him and replied, “Well there are four of us. And even though I didn't do that good in geometry I know that a triangle only has three sides. So therefore we are a square.”

 

Carrie started to laugh, she couldn't help it, Cloud had always been able to make her laugh and right now she was happy that he was here too. Hugging the blond rock star closer she said, “Thank you Cloud I needed that.”

 

Entering the house Carrie put Little Seifer down and turned and relocked the door. She knew that if Squall got there before their father and she explained the situation to him he would understand why the chain had been placed as well.

 

Carrie sat down on the couch and Kadaj immediately sat down by her and drew her close to him. Cloud and Yazoo choose the love seat where Little Seifer joined them curling up in Yazoo's long silver hair.

 

As they waited Carrie gave the three men a brief overview of what had led up to her call to Kadaj. “Like I said before, I don't know when Squall and Seifer are going to be home, and I really didn't want to be here alone when he showed up.” Looking over at Cloud for support she continued, “You know my father Cloud, he would have picked me up and tossed me in the car and taken me back home with him.”

 

Kadaj tensed slightly beside her, “He will never touch you in anger again.” His inner thoughts were black, especially if he enjoys walking. He shook that thought away he couldn't hurt the older man, after all he was Carrie father, and he knew that if he did seriously injury Laguna Loire it would destroy any chance of a future he had with his Honey Bear.

 

“Laguna honey perhaps you should slow down a little.” Shauna said softly. Her feelings were still tender from his yelling at her earlier. But lately that was all he did, was yell at her or the children. If she wouldn't have thought less of herself she would have just packed up her and the children and gone to her father.

 

“Be silent woman.” Laguna barked.

 

“Please honey I'm just concerned for you that's all.” Shauna offered to appease his anger.

 

“You have one of two choices. You can shut the fuck up or get out and walk.” Laguna roared.

 

Shauna huddled into the passengers seat and fell silent. The children were also quiet, daddy was really mad right now and they didn't know why.

 

A short time later Laguna pulled into Squalls driveway and saw the other two cars there and started swearing. His son had some serious explaining to do, he couldn't make time to bring his sister to Monterey, but he could certainly find the time to entertain.

 

Slamming the Mercedes into park he tried yanking the key out of the ignition with the motor still running and started cursing again. Getting the car turned off he flung the door open and started to jump out of the car and once again a string of colorful swear words flew from his lips. He had forgotten to undo his seatbelt. Managing to free himself he jumped out of the car and somehow even with his leg killing him he stomped up to the door and started pounding on it.

 

“God damn it. Open this door right now.” He bellowed.

 

The four people that were in the house paused in their conversation, Carrie started to rise from the couch to go and answer it, but was stopped when Cloud said, “No! I'll do it.” And pulled his body off the loveseat and crossed over to open the front door only to pause when he heard.

 

“Squall Rayne Leonhart open this door right now.” Laguna yelled and continued pounding angrily on it.

 

Cloud contemplated not answering it. This was just freaking great. He hoped that he might possibly be able to diffuse the situation before it got really ugly or before Squall and Seifer got home. Saying a silent prayer and releasing a deep breath he unlocked the door and opened it.

 

Laguna didn't even pause to say hi, bye or go to hell, but pushed abruptly by the spiky haired blond and charged into the house and over to where his daughter was now standing.

 

“Carrie Morgan Loire, what is the meaning of this? You and your brother have a lot of explaining to do young lady. How dare you tell me that you are far to busy to come to Monterey like I told you to, but you're not to busy to have a god damn fucking party.” Laguna roared at his eldest daughter.

 

“Daddy, Squall had every intention on bringing me to Monterey tomorrow but he was…” Carrie tried to explain to him but was cut off when he interrupted.

 

“Don't even try to defend him to me. I don't want to even imagine what he's off doing with that boyfriend of his.” Laguna continued to rant.

 

“Daddy!” Carrie exclaimed shocked. She was starting to get angry herself and it came through in her voice, “You know that Squall values family above everything else.”

 

“Oh really!” Laguna sneered and said maliciously, “Then you tell me why that little upstart bastard had the audacity to hang up on me?”

 

That was all it took her usually calm temper exploded and Carrie shouted right back at him, “Probably because he had a damn good reason to.”

 

Without thinking Laguna raised his hand and was ready to slap his errant daughter into submission.

 

Kadaj had slowly risen from the couch and was standing behind her like a stalwart guard ready to help defend her if she needed it. When her father raised his hand to hit her that was all it took to push him over the edge. He had been keeping careful control of his explosive temper, but that one action caused him to loose it and go ballistic. Without thinking he shoved Carrie behind him and snarled, “If you value your life old man you will not finish that action.”

 

Yazoo jumped forward to intercede, he knew that look on his brother's face and it wasn't good. It had been several years since he had last seen it. The last time had been when their alcoholic father had hit their mother and Kadaj had hospitalized him. The judge who heard the case had written it off as self-defense, even though Kaj hadn't been defending himself but their mother.

 

Now Kadaj had that same cold expression on his face and it scared the ever-living shit out of him. If he couldn't get his brother calmed down someone was going to get seriously hurt. And he knew who those someone's were going to be, Laguna because he was the one that had riled Kadaj in the first place, and Carrie because Kadaj would have hurt her father and in a roundabout way that would hurt her as well.

 

“Cloud I need your help.” Yazoo stated and tackled his brother to the floor knowing that his lover would soon be there to help.

Yazoo had straddled Kadaj's hips and was sitting on him, trying not to get thrown off as his brother bucked around trying to dislodge him.

 

Cloud dashed across the room and helped Yazoo hold the thrashing younger man to the floor. He grabbed Kadaj's shoulders effectively pinning him, which helped Yazoo get better situated on him.

 

“Now see what you've caused with all your shenanigans?” Laguna screamed at her, “That boy tried to attack me again.”

 

“What I've caused?” Carrie yelled back at him, “You're the one that came charging in here making all sorts of accusations. You're the one who started to hit me. And all Kadaj did was try to defend me. You're the one who's made an ass out of himself. So don't you dare go trying to blame this on me daddy.”

 

Carrie was facing off against her father. She standing with her legs apart and her hands fisted in her hips, her jaw stuck out an arrogant angle, fire flashing in her violet eyes,

 

Little Seifer who had lost her cozy little bed in Yazoo's hair was now hunched down between Carries feet growling, hissing and spitting at the man who was toe to toe with her. If the situation hadn't been so grim it would have actually been quite comically that the little ball of fluff was helping to protect her.

 

After finishing their meal they got back in the car and headed home. Upon arriving they found that not only was the Corvette Stingray that belonged to Kadaj in the drive, but also Clouds Silverado and Laguna's bronze Mercedes.

 

“What the hell?” Squall growled as Seifer pulled to a stop behind the Stingray. Not waiting for Seifer to park the car he unlatched his seatbelt opened the car door and headed towards the house.

 

Quickly parking the BMW Seifer exited the car and joined Squall just as he reached the front door. Squall started to open the door but paused when Seifer asked, “Do you think there will be blood shed?”

 

Squall groaned, “God I hope not. It's damned near impossible to get blood out of Berber carpet.” Opened the door and stepped into chaos.

 

Seifer who was a step behind him took in the scene that was playing out before him and growled low, “Great now all we need is for my father to show up and the tragedy will be complete.

 

“What in the name of almighty god is going on here?” Squall shouted over the din.

 

Carrie and Laguna stopped screaming at each other, Little Seifer stopped growling and hissing, and Kadaj stopped yelling for Cloud and Yazoo to let him up. The only sound that remained was Shauna crying.

 

Laguna pivoted around and glared at his eldest, his forest green eyes meeting icy silver blue. He was still mad and now that the person whom had brought on his foul mood was finally here he blasted his son, “What's going on here is that you are more interested in spending time with your boyfriend instead of having time for your father.”

 

“What?”

 

“You heard me young man. Who do you think you are hanging up on me?” Laguna continued to rage.

 

Squall explained as reasonably as he could, “Dad we were at an important appointment.”

 

Laguna's next words were as ugly as his mood was, “Is that what you call having your dick sucked?”

 

For the first time in his life Squall hit his father, glaring him he said in a hell freezing voice, “How dare you. How dare you come into my house and not only speak to me like that but behave in such a way.”

 

Before that resounding slap could manifest into an all out brawl it was stopped.

 

Shauna was still huddled on the couch trying to comfort her frightened children. What started out as a silent plea became louder as she continued to say it until at last she screamed, “Stop it! Everybody just stop it!” Which quickly and effectively brought a halt to the conflict.

 

 

 

Authors note: Don't be angry, I actually really do like Laguna and he is going to get the help he needs.
