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's rated NC-17 for mostly sex, but there is also some language and violence.

3) This is a yaoi story. If you are offended by yaoi or don't know what it is, 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 10: Hero

Zell and Zoe tackled Puma into a dogpile in the endzone.

"YOU'RE THE MAN!" Zell yelled atop the boy. "YOU'RE THE MAN!" Squall stood to the side, as he wasn't one for extravagant celebration, but he helped the boy up, and on top of Zell's shoulders. It was Puma's moment. He didn't feel stupid or embarrassed for his previous actions anymore. He was proud. Selphie was the first one to give him a hug after Zell and Squall helped him down.

"That was so cool," Selphie gushed. She refused to let him go. It was beautiful. She was planning to get Seifer back for hurting Puma, but her way involved a sleeping Seifer, a dead Blobra, and a Polaroid. "Still might try that," she thought. This however, was the ultimate revenge. Seifer just left the field holding his obviously bruised stomach. Even Raijin and Fujin came over to shake Puma's hand. They made sure Seifer was far out of sight though, but still were shocked the kid knocked the shit out of him.

"Don't tell him we did this, ya know?" Raijin called, waving goodbye to the group. Raijin and Fujin left to go keep Seifer company. Which meant spending the night locked outside of his room. Zell smiled all day. Puma was his new hero. It was a story Zell would tell everyone he knew, which was a hell of a lot of people. In Zell's book, anything Puma wanted today, he would get. If Puma wanted a pet Red Bat, Zell was willing to go to the Fire Cavern and get him one right now.

"And Seifer's up in his room right now crying," Zell told Nida, who had joined Puma, Squall, Zoe, and himself at a picnic table. Selphie had to go work some things out, and left the group. It was going on 7:00, and the sun was slowly setting over the horizon. It was the best moment in Puma's life. Sitting under the cool breeze, his idol wouldn't stop talking about him, Zoe couldn't stop hugging him, and he even saw Squall smile at him, and Squall doesn't smile period. Puma didn't want it to end.

"I'm getting something to eat," Squall nodded over to Zell.

"Yeah that's a good idea," Zell replied. So everyone got up, and headed towards the barbecues. Zell took Zoe and Puma in front of him, so they could enjoy his SeeD privilege. Returning to the table, Zell told three more people the dramatic story of the football game between bites of hotdogs. They were impressed with Puma; some shook his hand, as Seifer had a lot of enemies. The group finished their meal, and then pondered what to do next.

"I'm going back to the moshpit," Zoe told them, and quickly headed for the stage.

"What do you want to do?" Zell asked Puma. The redhead looked around at the many activities going on, and focused his attention on the beach.

"A way to get Zell's shirt off," he thought. Puma knew he was high in Zell's book. Hell, he could have said: Let's go stick our heads into the barbecues, and Zell would have been right behind him. Puma really didn't like swimming a whole lot, but it was an innocent way to get the tattooed blonde close to him. "Yeah, let's go swimming."

"Kay, Squall you commin with?" Zell questioned, quick to oblige to Puma's request.

"Nah………" Squall shook his head. Lions don't swim well. Zell knew Squall would decline, but thought it best to invite a hand. Zell led Puma back to the dorms, and they quickly got changed. Zell stripped down, and threw on his orange swim trunks and grabbed a towel. He met Puma outside his room, and rubbed his redhead. Zell never saw Puma with his shirt off, and he was surprised. Puma was always considered a little shrimp. He was shorter then Zell, but about the same size. People respected Zell however, because he had a thing for not wearing a shirt. Everyone in school knew that Zell had a six-pack and liked to show it off. Puma was more reserved though, and it surprised Zell to see the man have some muscle.

"Work out?" Zell questioned, as they headed back outside.

"Yeah, trying to." When they reached the stage, they noticed that a lot more people had gathered around the stage. Selphie was atop, making some sort of announcement.

"I hope you all had a blast," Selphie called. She was met with a bunch of hoots and cheers, which she smiled politely to. "It is now almost 8:00, and the festival is drawing to a close. I'd like to remind everyone, that the festival is over at 9:00, and lights out is still at 10." The crowd grumbled, but Selphie continued anyway. "I hope you all had fun today, and I'm assuming I'll get a lot more volunteers for the winter festival, which, write it down, will be on December 27th." The crowd jeered. Only another 4 months until then. It was going to be hard to outdo this one though. "Ok that's all I got. I hand the mic over to Cool Coeurl!" The moshpit cheered, as Lokum grabbed the mic.

"I'm sorry to say," he started. "This is going to be our last song of the night." The crowd moaned, but were glad they got one more. "This is a piece I like to call, Waiting. With that said, the moshpit grew even more dense, as the band was preparing to play their most popular song. Zell and Puma went down to the beach however, to spend the rest of the festival in the water.

>"I've been waiting a long time,"

>"For this moment to come."

>"I'm destined,"

>"For anything at all"

>"Downtown lights will be shining,"

>"On me like a new diamond,"

>"Ring out, under the midnight hour."

>"No one can touch me now,"

>"And I can't turn my back,"

>"It's too late ready or not at all"

>"I'm so much closer than,"

>"I have ever known…………………"

>"Wake up."

Zell hit the water first, and dived under the oncoming wave. Puma was close behind him, and followed him underwater. The beach was almost barren, as most of the swimmers had run to the stage.

>"Dawning, of a new era."

>"Calling, don't let it catch you falling."

>"Ready or not at all."

>"So close, enough to taste it."

>"Almost…………I can embrace this feeling,"

>"On the tip of my tongue."

>"I'm so much closer than,"

>"I have ever known………………"

>"Wake up."

>"Better thank your lucky stars…………………"

Zell started to float on his back, rising over the light waves underneath him. Puma acted like he was going to follow, but then jumped on top of Zell, forcing the blonde underwater. Zell quickly recovered, and returned to the surface.

"You bastard," he joked, and put Puma into a headlock. He dunked the redhead under the water, let him up just long enough to breathe, and then dunked him again. Puma countered after the second dunk, by grabbing Zell's arm, and twisting it behind his back. Zell could have easily gotten out of it, but he decided to let Puma have his fun. The redhead turned it into a full nelson, and thought he had Zell at his will.

"Alright, Alright you win," Zell laughed. "Let me go." Puma did as he said, and Zell turned around and face him. They stared into each other's eyes, and somehow, drew themselves together. Zell wrapped his arms around Puma's neck, and kissed him gently. Puma returned the kiss, and after ten seconds, they broke, and just stared at each other. Neither were sure exactly what too say, and fortunately, someone saved them the awkwardness.

"ZELL!" came a yell from ashore.

>"I've been waiting a lifetime,"

>"For this moment to come."

>"I'm destined for anything at all."

>"Dumbstruck."

>"Color me stupid."

>"Good luck."

>"You're gonna need it,"

>"Where I'm going if I get there……………"

>"At all…………………"

>"Wake up."

>"Better thank your lucky stars……………………&helli p;…"

Nida was waiting ashore. Reluctantly, Puma and Zell swam back. Zell was about to ask how much Nida saw, but then he realized that he really didn't care what Nida thought.

"What's up man?" Zell asked, grabbing his towel and starting to dry off.

"Zoe's looking for you," he said. "She's over there," he pointed to a picnic table.

"Thanks," Zell muttered, and Nida just nodded and sprinted off. Zell turned around, and saw Puma drying off. His hair was still wet, and like Zoe, he found Puma's hair sexier wet.

Lokum began talking as the two walked up the beach. The moshpit cheered at their last song, and the superstar acknowledged them.

"Thank you! Hope you guys had fun tonight." The crowd roared in response. "Our next show is in Dollet on September 2nd, so buy tickets. Until then we're out." The group filed out to the back of the stage, and Selphie led them somewhere quick so they wouldn't be mobbed by the fans. Zell watched from afar, and then turned to Puma.

"Let's go see Zoe," Zell motioned with his head. So the two shirtless boys walked back to the barbecue area, and found her.

"There's my studs," she laughed. Zell sat beside her, while Puma sat across from them. Zoe began to scratch Zell's back. He yawned and put his head on the table, arms limp at his side. "Aww, aren't you cute Zelly." He just smiled and enjoyed the moment.

"So what's up?" Puma asked finally breaking the silence.

"Oh, nothing. I just lost you guys, and was wondering where you went," she replied. "You both smell like the sea." They just nodded their heads in agreement, and the silence returned over the group.

"What should we do next?" Zoe asked, obviously becoming bored of the situation.

"Well………….whatta you want to do?" Zell turned his head to Puma.

"Nothin to do here," Puma replied, looking around. "Let's go back to your dorm."

"Yeah you two smell," Zoe said, patting Zell on the back and getting up. "Let's head back to your place." Zell agreed, and lead the two back inside the Quad, and around to his dorm. Opening the door, Zell was surprised to see Lokum lying on his couch. The man hadn't noticed him, and Zell took a step back in shock. Zoe gave him a push inside though, and he was soon standing over the superstar.

"Hey," Zell mustered to say. Not much, but he was more comfortable then before.

"Hey," Lokum replied, sitting up. Zoe claimed the chair again, and Zell pulled up a barstool. Sensing this conversation was going nowhere, Puma decided to but in.

"Zell, you care if I use your shower?"

"Nah go ahead, towels are in the closet," Zell turned to him. Puma nodded his thanks and disappeared into the bathroom.

"Your show was great," Zoe started the conversation. "Everyone was really impressed."

"Thanks," Lokum replied. The shower was turned on in the background, but since Puma made a general announcement about it, nobody seemed to care. "You go swimming?" he nodded to the still shirtless Zell.

"Yeah," Zell nodded. "Selphie had all kinds of stuff to do." Lokum just nodded, and returned to his lying position on the couch.

"I have a question," Zoe stated, looking at Lokum. "How did Selphie get you guys to play here?"

"We owed her a favor," Lokum yawned.

"Meaning?" Zoe continued the questioning.

"She bugged us up in Trabia, and finally got the money and people, but then she moved here," he explained. "We owed her a show, so she convinced us to do it here." The shower shut off in the background, signifying Puma finished his shower.

"Ah I see," Zoe responded. "So where are Tribit and Adrone?"

"Don't know," he responded. "They said something about going out and about. I didn't argue; like to let them do their own thing." Zoe just nodded, obviously out of questions. The three just sat for a while, until Puma broke the silence by emerging from the bathroom.

"You got a shirt I could borrow?" asked a shirtless Puma. His hair was still wet, which he still refused to dry.

"Yeah," Zell got up and led the redhead to his dresser. He pulled out a red and black Yojimbo's Deprecation shirt. They were another one of Zell's favorite bands, and pretty much the world's.

"Cool where'd you get this?" Puma asked, looking at the fabled GF.

"Balamb got a shipment one year when they played at Esthar. It cost like 90 gil, but it was worth it." Puma nodded and threw it on. He followed Zell back to the living room. Puma took Zell's bar stool, and Zell headed into the bathroom himself. He stripped down, and took about a five-minute shower. Just long enough to get the scent of the sea off of him. He sprayed on some cologne and put on some deodorant, and headed out. Zell scratched his smooth chest, and headed out to find a shirt. He grabbed just a plain red shit, and was surprised with the appearance of Selphie to the group.

"Yeah, we're thing about going on tour with YD," Lokum nodded at Puma's shirt. It was really big on Puma, but he wore it with pride. Zell pulled up another bar stool, and sat next to Puma. Selphie made Lokum sit up, and sat next to him. The five talked into the night about sports, friends, lifestyles, and other stuff that made them happy. Zell didn't forget to include Puma's incredible story of knocking the shit out of Seifer. Lokum laughed, and was impressed, which made Puma blush with embarrassment. Tribit and Adrone eventually returned to the room later that night.

"We gotta go Lokum," Adrone sighed falling next to Lokum on the couch. "We gotta be in Dollet by morning. Lokum nodded, and began to get ready to go. Puma made them wait and sign a poster he had in his room, and Zoe got them to sign a T-shirt she had. Once everyone got their souvenirs, they shook hands, and said their goodbyes. Selphie left to accompany them to Balamb, which left Puma, Zoe, and Zell.

"I gotta go here soon too," Zoe yawned. It was going on 10, and lights out was just around the corner. Zell gave her a hug, and she congratulated Puma again on his amazing football performance. After her departure, Zell and Puma crashed on the couch. The blonde knew Puma should be leaving here soon too, but he really didn't want him to. What they experienced in the ocean was bliss, and he didn't want to abandon the opportunity for a repeat.

"So…………are you going back soon?" Zell asked innocently, and trying to keep Puma here as long as possible. "Cause there's curfew, but you don't have to obey curfew, cause curfew's a stupid rule anyway, so," Zell slurred his words, and scratched the back of his head. Puma got the picture, and embarrassingly, Zell got his hint across.

"I could just stay here," Puma suggested. "That wouldn't be breaking curfew.

"Yeah……Yeah," Zell nodded. "That's a great idea cause those faculty members are everywhere. I don't want you out this late." It wasn't even 10 yet, but Zell played it off nicely. "You don't want to sleep one the couch you? Cause leather gets all hot and sticky at night, and stuff."

"Yeah I don't want that," Puma replied. They both knew what each was getting at, but were too shy to admit it.

"You can just sleep in my bed," he laughed nervously, still scratching the back of his head. "It's right by the window and cool and yeah." Zell just gave up. He looked over to Puma, who was looking back with a glitter of hope in his eyes. "My football hero," Zell mumbled, and pulled Puma over to him. They closed their eyes, and kissed like they did in the ocean. This time, Zell let his tongue explore the boy's mouth, and Puma gladly accepted. For a couple of minutes, they just kissed; they just savored the moment. Puma eventually broke away.

"Zell I'm tired," he smiled. So Zell led him to the bedroom, where they kicked off their shoes and socks. They layed beside each other, and stared into their eyes. Zell took the offensive, and started to kiss the redhead again. Puma reached up and ran his fingers through Zell's hair, and pulled the blonde closer to him. He wrapped his legs around Zell's waist, and pulled his chest up against Zell's. They could feel each other's hearts beat. Puma moaned, as Zell broke away, and sat them both up. He started to land kisses on Puma's cheek and upper neck.

"Take off your shirt," Zell whispered into his ear. Puma removed it with intense speed, as he felt Zell move down his body. The blonde nibbled on his shoulder, and placed sloppy kisses on his upper chest. Zell reached the redheads nipples, and sucked on them. It was bliss for Puma. Having Zell bite into his nipples, and feeling the warm breathe come out of Zell's nose was almost too much to bear.

"Zell…………….." Puma moaned, feeling Zell continue to move lower on his body. He reached the bell-button, and rotated his tongue in there, tasting the sweet salts of Puma's body. The redhead trembled with pleasure, as Zell licked the smooth area between his stomach and crotch. "More Zell," Puma pleaded, and Zell began to lower his swimming trunks. Suddenly, Zell's desire was fully nude before him. Puma kicked the trunks to the floor, as Zell removed his own shirt

"You're so fucking hot," Zell breathed into Puma's ear. He dragged his tongue up the redhead's cheek, and once again tasted his chest. Reaching the one place on Puma's body that the sun didn't shine, Zell stared in wonder at the fully aroused organ. He stuck his nose in the red pubic hairs, and took a deep whiff. It smelled up sweat and salt, and tormented Puma as Zell's exhaled his warm breath out of his nose.

"Zell please…" Puma moaned, breathing shorter and faster. Lacking oral sex experience, Zell decided to just experiment. He landed a kiss on Puma's pubic hairs, and slowly worked his way up the shaft. Reaching the very tip, Zell kissed the head, and teased Puma with his warm breath. The redhead squirmed beneath him, and Zell took a long lick of the shaft. The blonde trembled, as the sweet taste filled his senses.

"Suck me Zell," Puma begged squirming beneath Zell's muscular body. Returning to the head, the blonde licked the precum off, and had his first taste of Puma's seed. He needed more. Gripping Puma by the base, Zell slowly started to insert the cock into his mouth. Puma loudly moaned, as Zell swirled his tongue around the head. He accepted more and more of Puma's manhood, until it hit the back of his throat. Gagging, Zell took less, but continued to savor the taste. Puma moaned and thrust deeper into the blonde.

"Zell…" Puma cried. As if by instinct, Puma's hands reached to Zell's hair, and helped him bob up and down. With Puma's help, Zell was able to take all of the cock, and give Puma even more pleasure.

"Zell, I'm going to…" Puma tried in short breaths, but this only made Zell go harder. The blonde sucked ferociously, as Puma's body tightened. A rush of seed, filled Zell's mouth, and he drank it all. The redhead moaned loudly, as his body lost control. Zell continued to kiss and lick, as Puma became soft in his mouth. The blonde finally came up, laying kisses on Puma's bellybutton, nipples, and finally mouth.

"That was fucking amazing," Puma sighed, regaining his breath.

"Yeah…" Zell agreed, and held the redhead close. Puma wanted to return the favor, but Zell looked beat and done for the night. So Puma wrapped his legs around the blonde, and layed his head against his chest. Zell, happy and somewhat shocked, wrapped his arms around Puma, as the short hairs tickled his chest.
