THE ZELL DINCHT COLLECTION

WARNINGS

1) I do not own Zell, Squall, Rinoa, Irvine, Seifer, Selphie, Irvine, Quistis, or any other character I may mention from the FF8 series. I may add some more characters, which are mine. If you steal them, I probably won't find out about it. I also do not own most of the towns, monsters, etc… used in this story.

2) This was written cause Zell is the coolest character ever to be created in the FF series. It is rated NC-17 mostly for sex, but there's also some language and violence.

3) This is a yaoi story. If you are offended by yaoi, or don't know what that is, then I suggest you leave. You have been warned.

Ok think I got everything. Just read it and leave me some feedback. If you flame me I'll find it funny, so do whatever the hell makes you feel good.

CHAPTER 2: Friends-Foes-Hotdogs

"Damn I forgot to pack," Zell thought, kicking up his T-board in the fountain area of the Garden. Everyone was conversing, comparing schedules, or finding their homerooms. Zell didn't have any classes this year (seeing how he passed the SeeD exam last year). His duties were basically to wander the school and help or discipline students, depending on the situation.

"Hey chicken wuss," called a large blond from behind.

"Seifer," Zell responded emotionless.

"Hey………," Seifer started, but Zell kept walking and went into the school. He knew whatever was coming out of his mouth wasn't important. Standing in the main hall, Zell gaped at the large atrium above him. "Been a while. Gonna be different this year though." Zell tried to think of what to do first, and decided it would be in his best interest to rekindle the fire between him and the library girl.

"Hey…what's up?" Zell asked, walking up to the counter. "Haven't seen ya for a while."

"Ewww………Zell don't talk to me anymore."

"What?!? What the hell did I do to you?"

"You know what you did!"

"No. No I don't?!?"

"I heard you gave a blowjob to a Mesmerize once. AND THAT'S JUST WRONG," she yelled. "I don't date guys like that."

"But…but…I didn't no…," Zell tried, but she walked away, and left him to the laughs of the bystanders. It was quite an embarrassing situation. Zell was known for the next two weeks as Mesmerouse. "Only one man could have done this…Seifer." Shaking his head in embarrassment, Zell left the library and headed somewhere else. He saw people pointing and laughing, but thought better of starting a fight. He passed the parking lot. "Why the hell should I go in there?" The dorms were off limits too, as they hadn't been assigned yet. The Caf was closed, because it was preparing for lunch, and he didn't want to go to the Infirmary cause he felt fine. This left the Quad.

"ZELL!" came a loud boom from the stage. Suddenly a brown haired girl ran to him and gave him a big hug.

"Selphie," Zell laughed. "What's new?"

"Well, we're holding a fall festival, and I was wondering if…."

"Uhh…nah, I got this…uh… thing to do…"

"How about…"

"No…see this thing is going to…"

"Not even…"

"This thing Selphie…You're not listening," Zell noted checking his exits.

"Could you…"

"No Sorry. Hey look Selphie! There's Bill," Zell pointed to a random person. "I'm going to go talk to Bill." Zell took off into a sprint towards the man.

"But…his name's Puma," Selphie tried.

"Whatever…" he yelled. Taking notice of the boy, Zell saw he had dark red hair. It was shaved short, but not to the scalp. He was a bit muscular, but a little smaller then Zell. The kid was about 5'5 and 135 pounds. Judging his age, the blonde would say 15-16ish. "He's kinda cute. Wait…what the hell are you thinking?"

"Hey man," Zell said, grabbing the boy's attention. "I gotta start a conversation with you to throw off Selphie over there." Puma chuckled, but then took a step back.

"Whoa…you're Zell Dincht. You're that kid from the story."

"Oh shit," Zell thought. "Just to clear it up, I did not have sex with a mesmerize," he shook his head to the redhead.

"What? No I mean the story about you slaying the giant spider."

"Oh yeah that was me!" Zell smiled and put his thumbs in his vest.

"That was so cool. I'm taking the SeeD exam this year, and I'm passing it too just like you did."

"So you're 16?"

"Yeah, I can't wait to take the test. Oh by the way, I'm Puma," the kid smiled holding out his hand. Zell shook it and nodded.

"That's cool." The late bell interrupted their conversation however, as they both look up to the loudspeaker.

"Good morning, today is August 29, cycle day one. Would all students please report to their homerooms, and would all SeeD's please report to the Quad

"I gotta run Zell, I'll see ya," Puma waved as he walked towards the exit.

"All right…see ya man." Watching the redhead leave, Zell walked over to the stage and reluctantly sat next to Selphie.

"So what did you think of Puma?" she asked. "He volunteered for the Fall Festival. Some people are good citizens; some people help out their school when its' in need; some people…"

"Tch………Will you shut up if I help you?" Zell snapped.

"Yes." Zell just shook his head, as he saw Squall walk into the room. He motioned for the brunette to sit next to him, and Squall obliged. Before he could start a conversation however, Cid climbed the stage in front of them, and started a speech.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to Balamb Garden. First, I know that you are all SeeD, but I still must go over some school policies. As you all know, you are above other students, but you should follow school rules to set an example for others. Last year we had trouble with running in the halls. Let's remind others not to run. Also only use the Infirmary if you must. Do not use it to get out of class. Remember we like to express the individual, so there is no dress code. Topless women are always welcome in my office," Cid laughed. The student body chuckled, but a staff member quickly came up and reprimanded him. "I'm joking, I'm joking. I'm allowed to joke with SeeD." He quickly caught his composure and his stern voice. "Well that's all for now. Please report to the dorms, as you will all receive a single room. Dismissed." Cid gave a quick SeeD salute, which the students returned, and headed out of the room.

"Woohoo! Single dorms!" Zell exclaimed, doing a little victory dance.

"What was that?" Selphie asked disgustedly.

"What?"

"Nothing," Selphie shook her head.

"So Squall, what have you been up to?" Zell asked, changing the subject.

"Nothing," he mumbled.

"Do you wanna help with the Fall Festival?" Selphie suddenly butted in.

Squall just glared at her, making her feel stupid for even asking him. She dropped her head, and kept quiet while they walked down the dorm corridor.

"DINCHT, ZELL," called out one faculty member "7B. LEONHART, SQUALL. 8A. TILMITT, SELPHIE. 14A.

"Damn," Selphie moaned. "Why do I gotta be so far away from you guys,"

"Sorry Selphie," Zell said. "Blessing in disguise," he mumbled to Squall.

"What was that?" Selphie questioned. A faculty member stopped the argument, as she handed Zell and Squall their ID cards, and gave Selphie the look of death. Before she could say anything else, Zell swiped his card, and entered his room. The blonde was impressed. It was spacious, had a nice closet, a huge bathroom, and a small kitchen area, but his living room was by far the best. It had a leather couch and chair, and a humongous entertainment center. "Nice." Zell went into his bedroom, threw his T-board against the wall, and leapt onto his bed.

"Damn suitcase," he thought. "I'll have to make a run home tonight." After a bit of exploring, Zell decided to go to the Caf for some hotdogs. It was about 1:30, so why not? Zell got up and proceeded on his search for something to ease his rumbling tummy. He paused out in the dorm area. "Squall wouldn't want to come, and Selphie would annoy the shit out of me." After consideration, Zell decided to go solo. Trying to avoid the stares, snickers, and mesmorouse chants, "I really have to get Seifer back for this." Zell cut in front of the normal students, "SeeD privilege" and grabbed three hot dogs and a soda.

"ZELL!" somebody yelled. Zell turned around to see Puma running towards him. Another student caught him though, and pushed him towards the back of the line.

"Get to the back Junior Classman," taunted the man. "Learn to fucking follow the rules." Zell left the register and his hotdogs, and approached the bully. He grabbed the collar of his shirt, and lifted him up.

"I'm not a man of rules, but I do have some," Zell threatened, glaring down the trembling kid. "Rule number one, don't fuck with him." He threw the student back, who landed hard against the wall.

"Dincht, a little feisty today aren't we?" Seifer yelled from a nearby table. "Aren't you a protective mother?" People began to snicker at the blonde's public embarrassment. "Zell I must say, he's an improvement from the Mesmerize." The cafeteria erupted in laughter, as Zell shook with anger.

"FUCK YOU SEIFER!" was the best Zell could come up with. Leaving Seifer, Puma, and his hotdogs behind, Zell stormed out of the cafeteria, and tried to get as far away from the fingers and smirks as possible. While walking the first floor circle, he pushed over or tripped anyone that even looked at him the wrong way. Thinking about it, Zell didn't even know why he stood up for the redhead. He'd seen bullies tear apart other kids, and he didn't stop it, but for some odd reason, he felt he needed to get involved this time. "It's just cause you talked to him this morning," he told himself. Back in reality, Zell found himself walking towards the Training Zone.

"Vent some anger here." Luckily, there weren't many people around, so after fighting some Grats, Zell found himself in the secret area. "Stupid Seifer. I'll settle the score." Zell sat down on a bench for a while and dropped his head to the floor.. "This was supposed to be the best year ever. First day sure got off to a good start."

"Zell," an out of breath boy called from behind. "Damn you're quick." Zell looked up to see Puma standing above him. "Seifer's such a prick. I can't stand him."

"Why'd you follow me?" Zell mumbled, breaking his stare from the ground.

"Ya helped me out back there; I owe you one."

"Don't worry about it."

"Nah…here I brought you this." Puma pushed a tray towards Zell. And sat down next to him. It had his three hotdogs, which he gladly accepted.

"Thanks man," Zell laughed, stuffing a hotdog in his face. "Tho, Wfere arth thew fum?"

"What?"

"Where are you from?" Zell questioned, swallowing.

"FH, I decided to come up here to join SeeD and view the world." Puma also had another reason, but he decided not to admit it to Zell.

"So this is your first year?"

"Yeah, I'm still getting used to the building layout. It hasn't been that bad though." Puma scooted closer to Zell, who continued to devour his hotdogs. "Where am I?"

"Secret area, not many people know about it. It's a cool place to go if…" Puma wasn't listening though, as he traced his finger along Zell's tattoo.

"What's this stand for?" Zell pulled his head away, almost spitting up his hotdog.

"Um………well………um," Zell tried swallowing his hot dog. He almost fell off the bench. "Whoa………well………um I've gotta go. I forgot my stuff from Balamb, and I've gotta go pack for tomorrow." Zell quickly got up and started heading for the door.

"But you still have a hotdog left," Puma tried.

"You can keep it!" Zell yelled back. "Thanks for buying me lunch, I'll meet up with you later." Zell ran out of the room, leaving the kid sitting on the bench. "Shit what was he thinking? I'm not gay." He had trouble keeping his pants under control though. "What the hell were you doing enjoying that Zell? He doesn't have breasts!" A confused Zell left the school shaking his head. He forgot his T-board, so he had to walk all the way back to Balamb. There was a lot on his mind though, which made the walk home even longer.
