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 it also contains 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 20: Champagne Supernova

"Where the hell were you?" Zoe questioned as soon as Zell started to open his dorm door. Inside he found both Puma and Zoe sitting eagerly on his couch.

"Better question: How the hell did you get in here?" Zell shot, surprised with their appearance.

"We'll answer your question if you answer ours," Puma bargained.

"Fine, how'd you get in?"

"Bedroom window," Zoe nodded towards the back of the dorm.

"Gotta stop leaving it open," Zell told himself shaking his head.

"You're turn," Puma jumped.

"I lied," Zell smiled pushing Zoe over so he could sit next to her. "Never go first, you guys should know that by now."

"Come on Zell, I basically broke my hip, and you're not going to tell me anything."

"Hey I'm not your squad leader, go ask Squall."

"My squad leader doesn't talk!" she whined.

"Your life sucks, mine does," Puma laughed. Zoe threw a pillow at him, but quickly returned her attention to pressuring Zell.

"My squad leader went with you somewhere. You know what my squad leader would refuse to tell me."

"Yeah," Zell admitted, but just left it at that.

"ZELL! Tell me!" Zoe whined.

"No!"

"Pleaase!"

"No!"

"Pleeeassse!"

"No!"

"Pllleeeeaaassseee!"

"Tch…fine!" Zell finally gave in. "You're not allowed to ask anymore questions though, this is it."

"I promise," Zoe pledged. Taking a deep breath, Zell started to explain.

"We went to the Balamb Zoo to see the Monkeys and Hippos," the blonde laughed.

"ZELL YOU DID NOT!" Zoe moaned, smacking him with a pillow.

"We did too, go ask Squall."

"No! Where did you really go?"

"Ah…you promised, no more questions."

"I hate you," Zoe laughed. "I truly hate you." This was the second time today Zell had been told that today. It wasn't a good social day.

This joking around was pretty much an apology between Zell and Zoe. Since they were little kids, Zell and Zoe knew when they were on bad terms, and when that happened, usually daggers were thrown in their conversations. With peace on both sides, the two pretty much figured they were back to normal.

"What about that packet?" Zoe asked. "I saw Squall carrying it around."

"You had a packet?" Puma suddenly sat up attentive.

"I still do," the blonde smiled, pulling it out of his shirt pocket and throwing it on the coffee table. Zoe was closer to it, and made an attempt to grab it, but Puma never moved faster in his life. That sucker didn't even hit the table before it was scooped up. Reading it over, Puma came up with a confused face.

"You only filled out the last two pages," he noted. "The first two are the important ones."

"Yeah I didn't get to that yet," Zell yawned, stretching. "I really should do it."

"You didn't even fill out a report yet?" Zoe exclaimed, a flash of terror coming over her face.

"I told the monkeys," Zell shrugged.

"ZELL!" she cried again smacking him hard in the arm.

"Well do it quick," Puma muttered, handing it back to him.

"I can't while you guys are here." Zell smiled. Both of them groaned, and got up to go to the door. "I'd check to make sure Squall did it if I were you Zoe," he yelled to the doorway. She nodded, and left. He listened to the sound of footsteps to the next door, and smiled. Grabbing a pen, he wrapped up the first two pages with what he had already told Cid. Tucking it into his shirt, he grabbed his ID, and decided to hand the thing in just for good measure. He opened his door, took two steps, tripped over something, and fell flat on his face.

"Did you finish it?" Puma asked, sitting in the doorway.

"Yeah," Zell muttered from the floor. Puma helped him up, and started to lead him towards the elevator. They walked in silence for the first couple of minutes, which was a drastic change from Zoe.

"You really think we got a shot?" Puma asked, looking up to him

"Yeah, you got the GF didn't you?" Zell reassured him. "We'll see what Cid says." The loudspeaker sprung on as they were walking, and disrupted their conversation.

"Would all students who took the SeeD exam today, please report to the second floor classrooms." Xu chimed.

"We'll find out now won't we?" Zell nodded, as they boarded the elevator. "I'm going to try to get this report in real quick," the blonde stated, as they approached the second floor. "I'll meet you down here in a few minutes." Puma nodded, and watched Zell ride up to the third floor. He walked next to Quistis's room, and leaned against the wall. Slowly, more of the SeeD candidates filed in. He took a glance at Seifer when he walked it, but didn't say anything. The blonde was too busy with Raijin and Fujin anyway. One of the last to file in was Zoe, and she walked nervously over to him.

"Here goes nothing," she muttered leaning up beside him.

(**********)

"I thought I'd file a report just in case," Zell greeted, handing Cid the packet. The headmaster read it over real quick, and nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Dincht, very good, but it doesn't change my selections. I'm assuming you'll be heading back downstairs."

"Yes sir. Thank you sir." The blonde saluted, and then headed back down with the elevator. Cid's comment about not changing his decision struck Zell wrong, but he decided not to pry further into wording. The elevator stopped with a ding, and Zell stepped out into the hallway. He walked into the classroom corridor, and spotting Puma and Zoe, walked over.

"Got him the report," Zell confirmed. Puma nodded, too nervous to compose words. The blonde prayed they got in, as it would be an extremely embarrassing situation if they didn't. It would be even worse if one made it in and the other one didn't. What was he supposed to do then? What would he say to the reject? His worst scenario was Zoe. If Puma failed, he could always say: "Oh well you can always take it in the spring." If Zoe failed, what would he say? "Well your dreams are ruined, go away 3000 miles, and maybe I'll call sometime in twenty years." He'd leave with two broken arms, a neck injury, and if he was lucky, only three scyther cuts.

A faculty member appeared at the entranceway, and everyone's chatter stopped. Zell was almost as nervous as Puma and Zoe, as they all held their breath.

"Puma Crowings," the faculty member stated, reading it off her list.

"YEAH!" he yelled, making a 'yes' signal with his fist. He clasped Zell's hand in a high-five, and made his way into the elevator hallway. A golf clap commenced. After it died down, the faculty member looked down to her list again.

"Zoe Guthard, Zoe Guthard," Zell said to himself.

"Seifer Almasy."

No applause occurred, except from Fujin and Raijin, and Seifer silently followed Puma, gunblade still in hand. Everyone was shocked. Seifer had picked on every person in the school, and didn't have many friends. It turned everyone's stomach to see success come to him, but Zell kept his opinion. Seifer had knocked the shit out of the Brothers, and was one of the most powerful forces in the garden. If Cid could curb the big blonde's attitude, he could rival Squall in strength.

"Zoe Guthard," the faculty member stated again, snapping Zell back to reality.

"YES!" she cried, shaking Zell's hand. She breathed out deeply, pressed down her emotions, and followed them out.

"Thank Hyne…" Zell thought, following the three into the elevator hallway. He didn't know why he was so worried. The garden needed new SeeD members this year, causing Cid to promote who he had to. It wasn't like they didn't deserve it; it was just not the way the headmaster hoped it would play out. What other options did he have? The next deserving candidate walked into the Tomb while Zell and company were leaving. He was hoping for some more experience to add to the roster, but Puma and Zoe really proved themselves. They were young, but obviously going to become some of the finest SeeDs the garden had to offer in a few years. Time was the biggest obstacle right now.

"You will give a short speech for your class, and then report directly to the headmaster's office for further instruction," Zell heard a faculty member directing the new inductees. "Dismissed," Puma and Zoe saluted, but Seifer just walked off.

"I heard what you did," the big blonde sneered to Zell as he walked by. "You're still a chicken wuss." Zell didn't know whether to take this as a compliment or an insult, but considered it a gain, as he didn't get punched in the stomach. His face of confusion turned to a smile, as Zoe started charging towards him.

"I told you I'd get in," she laughed, punching him in the arm.

"Hehe…well," Zell replied, unsure of what to say. "Good luck with your speech. I'll catch up with you later."

"Yeah…we got some dance or something right?"

"Yeah."

"Alright, I'll find you there." Zoe gave him a quick hug, and then sprinted after Seifer. Puma walked up to the blonde next.

"I'd say today was a good day," Puma chuckled, nodding his head. "I owe it all to you man."

Zell shook his hand, and led him back into Trepe's classroom. "I'm a bit tired. I'm going to go rest up before the dance."

"Kay I'll come find you later," Puma nodded and disappeared into the classroom.

"Well I told you all at the beginning of the year this was the year," Seifer gloated, from inside. "I think it's about fucking time."

"SEIFER!" Trepe yelled.

Zell snickered as he eavesdropped from the doorway, and jumped back as someone clasped his shoulder. To his disappointment it was Selphie.

"That's considered class!" she reprimanded. "We're supposed to be holding hall duty now."

Zell shrugged, and continued to listen in.

"Sorry. Today was an exciting day, as I basically single handedly slayed the GF. It was about time that this school recognized talent, and I hope they continue to make the right decisions in the future. I'd like to thank Selphie."

The brunette's eyes lit up in confusion, and she pushed Zell out of the doorway so she could have a better listen.

"No…wait, no I don't." Selphie rolled her eyes and looked back to the floor. "Reach for the stars and all that crap," Seifer finished, which was proceeded by a golf clap from Fujin and Raijin.

"Okay! We're leaving!" Selphie cried in disgust. She grabbed a hold of Zell and led him back to the dorms. The blonde ditched her as quick as he could, and collapsed on his couch. The leather sank beneath him, causing him to finally get some sleep.

(**********)

"Don't be an ass!" Cid whispered in Seifer's ear, as he handed him his official SeeD certificate. He then moved over to Zoe, who was next in line.

"A scythe…very nice." Taking a look at her certificate, her eyes bulged. She made rank seven, and already was making a starting pay of 40,000 gil every two weeks. She was a good 200,000 gil in debt with student loans, but 40,000 was a lot more then she expected.

"Speak up, you know what you're talking about." Nodding, Puma looked down at his document. He was rank seven as well, and was also surprised about pay.

"You can be called to a mission at any time," Cid said to the group, from the center of the room. "We like to enforce the one year policy, but it is not a promise. Tomorrow could be D-day. Be prepared." He glared at his new SeeDs letting the message sink in. "Dismissed." Zoe and Puma saluted, but Seifer just turned to go.

(**********)

G-N-I-M-A-E-R-D

Back to the white room. Still cold, but not quiet anymore. Blasts were exploding outside, and the ground shook in tremors.

"The hell's going on?" he thought to himself. The door to his cell suddenly burst open, and an odd looking soldier approached him.

"You're helping us," he snapped, throwing a weapon in his hands.

"No!"

"Yes, get out there!" The guard pushed him out of the door, and he heard gunshots and sword swipes all around him.

"They're outside dumbass!" the guard pushed him. He had enough though. He swung his weapon back, and knocked the guard down unconscious. Blood flowed out of the downed soldier's mouth, but he didn't care. He was free.

G-N-I-M-A-E-R-D

Zell suddenly woke up, and looked around. It was another one of those weird dreams, and he realized he must have just passed out on his couch. It was a lot darker then he remembered, and looking at his watch, it was 7:00. He had gotten some much needed sleep, as he didn't get much the night before, and was knocked around by a big assed bull today.

"Zell you coming man?" came a knock and a voice through his door.

"That's right, party tonight." The blonde made his way to the door, and found Puma, still in uniform.

"Sleep?" Puma eyed, seeing Zell's tired demeanor.

"Yeah…still could a little." Zell grabbed his ID, and followed the redhead down to the Quad.

"So could I. I'm pretty much running on adrenaline right now."

Zell rubbed his eye and nodded. They found the Quad cleared out of all its usual junk, and replaced with several tables and a huge dance floor. The stage still remained, but was pushed back, as a local band played light music. There was a bar, and some other refreshments. It was a much larger form of the SeeD dance Zell attended last month. Spotting Squall, Selphie, and Seifer, Zell and Puma made their way over to them, and took a seat.

"Chicken wuss," Seifer greeted.

"Shut up!" Zell was surprised to see Seifer sit with anyone other then Fujin and Raijin, but then he remembered that they didn't get in to SeeD. Still, Seifer usually didn't hold conversations with people who hated him. Selphie and Zell weren't exactly in his fan club. And Squall, well Squall actually sort of respected him. Seifer was the only man who could put up a respectable battle against the lion. As much as Zell hated it, Seifer out powered him. If they ever got in a rumble, Zell would put up a good fight, but he knew it would take a miracle to keep Hyperion from slashing him to pieces. Squall was still considered the best however, mainly due to the fact that he didn't talk as much as Seifer. People respect the quiet more then the obnoxious, but in actuality, nobody knew who was the stronger.

"Puma," Seifer nodded to the redhead.

"Oh he gets respect?" Zell asked, taking a seat.

"I like him," the large blonde shot back, angering Zell.

"Seifer liking someone?" Selphie broke in. "Those words don't go well in a sentence."

"Shut up, I don't like you."

"What? I basically got you into SeeD!"

"You had nothing to do with that. That was…" Seifer started.

"Me," Zell finished, puffing out his chest.

"Pshhh," Seifer scoffed, but couldn't come up with a good comeback. The first round of drinks came around, interrupting the conversation. Zell grabbed some champagne, and started to sip it. "That may be true," Seifer continued, after the waitress left. "But, don't expect me to be your lapdog." The large blonde took a shot, and slammed the glass down. "I owe you nothing."

"You owe me respect," Zell snapped.

"I owe you nothing." Zell snarled, but decided not to pursue it any further. He knew the blonde wouldn't respect him if he gave him a million gil. Seifer was stubborn, and his viewpoints were hard, if impossible to change. Zell made a bad first impression on the big blonde, and it was going to be hard to break that reputation.

"Zell!" Zoe smiled, as she started to mess up his hair. He hadn't seen her approach, and jumped, but immediately recognized her voice.

"Where were you?" he asked, looking up to her.

"Sorry, running a little late."

"Now we'll be playing Hearts by Geveva," the lead singer of the band interrupted. "Everyone to the dance floor."

"Oh I love this song," Zoe squealed. "Come dance with me Puma." No objections, the redhead followed her. Zell was a bit puzzled, as Zoe never really showed much interest in the boy, but then she never was very predictable.

"Isn't that cute," Seifer smirked, looking at Zell's confused expression. "You look a little puzzled Chicken Wuss. I'll explain it: When a man meets an attractive woman…"

"Shut the fuck up!" Zell snapped.

"A little touchy are we?"

"Shut up!"

"If you're so upset, why don't you go get your boyfriend back?"

"What do you follow my every move?" Zell shot. "What's your fascination with me and the kid?"

"It's not a guess, it's a fact," Seifer smiled back.

"And what's your proof?"

"You spend all your time with him, something's gotta be going on."

"You spend all your time with Raijin. Does that mean he's your boyfriend?"

"No, it's a posse. I have Fujin around too."

"I HAVE ZOE!" Zell exclaimed, angered over his blindness.

"Yeah, but she's a backup plan.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Seifer was about to explain himself, but a second round of drinks came around. Zell took another glass of champagne, and Seifer grabbed some more shots. Squall and Selphie decided to keep out of the heated discussion, as they knew it would end up with Zell getting punched in the head at some point, but they were listening intently.

"I mean she's become second on your priority list."

"How?"

"Tsh," Seifer said, frustrated with the smaller blonde. He took another shot. "You took Puma instead of her to the Fire Cavern."

"She didn't ask me," Zell countered.

"Hmm?…I wonder why that was. And you picked Puma over her to go with you to the Tomb."

"I knew she would pass with Squall!"

"Really?"

"Tch…" Zell muttered, but couldn't keep Seifer's comments from wrecking his brain.

"You spend a lot less time with her, and I think she's noticed it." Seifer concluded. "I thought you two had some fight or something anyway?

Zell scoffed, and looked around to Squall and Selphie for objection, but their expressions didn't change. Zell's spirits fell, as he realized that they were right.

"And what if I like him?" Zell muttered, dropping his head. "What do you care?"

"I don't," Seifer replied, taking another shot. "You just seem to flip every time I mention it." He looked to Selphie, who just shrugged, and then his eyes fell on Squall.

"I'd be more concerned about Zoe," the brunette muttered, taking a drink of his wine. Zell's head fell again. There would be a conversation he should try to avoid.

(**********)

"Congrats today," Zoe smiled, taking Puma's hand. They began to move back and forth a bit, but nothing of what was considered dancing.

"Thanks…you too," Puma replied, unsure exactly why she asked him to dance.

"We'll get our dorms here soon."

"Yeah."

"You'll be close to Zell…Crowings-Dincht."

"Yeah, Guthard won't be too far either."

Zoe nodded, but let out a deep sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing…" she replied. Puma knew that was a cover up, but decided not to pry. If she wanted to tell him, she'd come around. So they swayed/danced for a while in silence, until Zoe built up some more courage. "Could you ever see me and Zell as a couple?"

"Maybe, not right now though," Puma muttered, covering his true emotions.

"Why not?" Zoe asked, looking into his eyes.

"You have too much history with him." he lied, thinking fast. "It would seem weird."

Zoe sighed again. She knew that was a lie, but thought better of calling him a liar to his face. Getting information out of people was her specialty, but she had to do this delicately, because the info this time could hurt her badly.

"Really? I could see you with him," she said softly, returning her glance to the ground.

Puma was taken aback. That sure changed the tempo of the conversation. "Why do you say that?"

"He seemed to take special interest in you."

"I guess." Puma knew where she was going, but wasn't exactly eager to discuss his relationship with Zell with her.

Zoe let out another sigh, as the song pulled to a close. She reluctantly dropped the conversation there. Leading Puma back to the table, she fought back the depression. It was better Puma didn't tell her. Tonight was supposed to be one of the best nights of her life, and she really didn't feel like having her heart broken. She could pretend to be happy for a little longer. Sitting down, she looked at Zell, who also looked like he had a lot on his mind.

A third round of drinks came around, and Zell grabbed some more champagne. Ah…the drink of celebration, but tonight had taken a spiral downwards. The blonde realized he had been ignoring Zoe. It was her dream to be a SeeD in Balamb too. She finally accomplished it and now her social life was hell. She had only been here for a few months, and was depending on Zell to introduce her to people, but he was always busy with someone else.

He didn't mean to. He was trying his best to be himself, the normal, funny Zell who had a circle of tight friends, but the charade was up. Someone penetrated that circle, and someone else had been thrown further out of it. She sat right next to him. This was a guilt he didn't need. He didn't mean to hurt her. He didn't mean to abandon her on. Didn't she see that? The depressed expression she wore when she came back to the table told him no.

"I gotta go," Zell mumbled, pushing out of his chair. He was frustrated with the world. He was frustrated with himself. Everyone at the table was surprised with the blonde's sudden decision, and watched him walk out of the Quad. Everyone that is, except for Seifer, who knew Zell wouldn't stand guilt in a crowd for very long.

"Figures," Seifer thought, taking another shot.

(**********)

"Zell you in here?" a voice yelled through his dorm room door. It was going on one in the morning, but he was still wide-awake. For the last hour or two, Zell took out his anger on his punching bag. When he became tired, he collapsed back on his leather couch, and watched TV. Nothing exciting, he was just trying to get his mind off the world. Life sucked. He intended to help Zoe get situated and to have some good times with her, but he failed miserably.

"Stupid people and their emotions, and their feelings," Zell thought, trying to push the blame somewhere. No matter how hard he tried, someone always ended up getting hurt, or he made an enemy, or he screwed up. It was almost inevitable. "Just a down time. It'll get better here soon."

"Zell, come on, I hear the TV," the voice continued. Grunting, he got to his feet, and opened it.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" Puma asked, looking the blonde in the eyes. Not the best way to approach an emotionally stressed person, but then Puma wasn't exactly sure what to say. Zell really wanted to slam the door in his face, to run away from the world for a while. He didn't though, and somehow dragged himself to hold a conversation.

"Nothing…" he sighed. The blonde made his way back to the couch and crashed there again, leaving Puma in the doorway. The redhead thought that Zell had gotten mad at someone, and left, but now it sank in that something was bugging him.

"What happened?" Puma continued to pry, closing the door behind him, and sitting next to Zell's stomach on the couch.

"Nothing…just drop it," Zell muttered. Silence swept over the room holding its grasp for ten minutes. Puma was unsure of how to approach the situation. He sat and thought for a while on what would be the best thing to say or do. Zell wasn't in the best of moods right now, so he'd have to beat around the bush.

"Got my dorm today," Puma finally broke the silence. Zell just nodded, but didn't break his stare from the TV. "Want to go see it?"

"Not really," Zell replied after a brief pause.

"Kay. It's right next door by the way," Puma added. "Zoe's like three doors down I think though." Zell cringed at the sound of the name. Puma pretended he didn't see it, but it was obvious Zell didn't want to talk about her. The redhead changed the topic quick. "You'll have to show me how to run the halls…"

"Have you ever been used?" Zell interrupted, paying no attention to his last comment.

"…yeah," he replied after some deliberation. "Why?"

"Elaborate for me," Zell muttered, eyes not turning from the TV. Puma was a bit lost in Zell's reason, but at least he was talking.

"Well…uh…last week at lunch, a girl hit on me, and we started talking. I had this chocolate cupcake, and I was looking forward to eating it all day. She kept eyeing it, and being the gentleman I am, I let her have it. As soon as that puppy was in her hand, she left. I now refer to her as cupcake whore."

Zell couldn't help but snicker. Puma laughed along with him, but the pain swept back to Zell, and he returned to his depressed state.

"So she just ignores you now?"

"Nah…she waves sometimes. I guess I could even consider her a distant friend."

"So…you're on good terms with her?"

"Eh…ever since she stole that cupcake, it's sort of like she's nice to me as a joke. Like she waves just to spite me."

Zell sighed, that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

"What does this have to do with…anything?"

"I don't want to talk about it…" Zell waved his hand. Puma let the topic drop again, and the room returned to silence.

"Come check out my dorm," the redhead tried again. "It's gotta be better then just sitting here."

"Fine," Zell sighed, clicking off the TV.

"Yeah!" Puma smiled, getting to his feet. He led Zell next door, and swiped his ID through. It was about the same size as Zell's but looked much bigger, as it had a lot less stuff in it. There was the standard leather couch and chair, TV, bar stools, and bed, but other then that, the place was barren. There was a suitcase, on the floor, which was Puma's clothes and stuff, but he didn't bring any posters or anything. "I'm still moving," the redhead continued. Zell nodded, and spread himself across the couch. The leather sank under him, as he relaxed into it.

"Not bad," Zell commented. Puma sat on the end of the couch next to Zell's stomach, and looked down at the blonde. Something had upset him today, and it broke Puma to see his hero hurt. He'd seen Zell injured physically before, but never emotionally, and this was a lot worse. Zell's spirits were raised though, so Puma had helped a little. The blonde ran his fingers through Puma's short hairs, and rubbed his head.

"You look beat," Puma smiled, lying down beside Zell.

"So do you," the blonde replied, wrapping his arm around Puma's stomach. "Rough day." Puma sighed, and pushed his head against Zell's chest.

"So what now?" the redhead asked, after a brief silence.

"Today was your one day of excitement for the year," Zell sighed. "No more battles for a year."

"That sucks."

"Eh…we'll find something to do over summer break." This brightened Puma's hopes. He forgot about summer. Zell would be in Balamb, and he would have to go back to FH. But if they got together, just Zell and him, no school pressures, no peer pressure, it would be a blast.

"Only nine more months," Puma muttered, engulfed in Zell's warmth. The blonde started to rub the redhead's stomach, hand slipping under his uniform. He layed a kiss on top of his shaved head, moved his hand over 4 ½ pack. Puma was glad. Zell was obviously in a better mood then before. This is what Zell really wanted, what he really needed. It was a way to escape his prison of thoughts. A way to forget the day. He was doing the exact thing that hurt Zoe the most, but he didn't care any more. Fuck the world. Fuck people and their feelings. Fuck Zoe. His happiness was important. Didn't she see that? Apparently not.

Puma rolled over on to his other side, so he faced Zell. "This a graduation present?"

"Possibly," the blonde replied, before biting the redhead's neck. Puma rubbed the back of Zell's head, as the blonde continued to kiss his head and neck. Puma took off his shirt, and Zell broke away to do the same. Wrapping their arms around each other, they exchanged kisses sloppily. Zell wasn't being romantic, he wanted this; he needed this. No time for organization.

"Why do you have to be so fucking hot?" Zell asked, his hot breath warming Puma's face. The redhead didn't reply, but instead buried his face into Zell's chest. Grabbing the blonde's belt with one hand, Puma licked straight up Zell's sternum. He moaned in pleasure, and let the redhead continue to explore his body. Puma felt the warm boxers, which came slightly higher then Zell's uniform pants. He wanted badly to rip them both off with one swift swipe, but controlled his urges, to make this as pleasurable as possible.

"You like that?" Puma whispered up to the blonde. He nodded, and Puma continued to lower himself down the couch. He flicked his tongue over Zell's nipple, teasing him, before biting the hardened flesh. The redhead nibbled and sucked on the tissue for a while, leaving a large red mark, and obtaining several moans from Zell. Next, he made his way down his stomach; licking the grooves between Zell's abs, before lying wet kisses on his bellybutton. Still holding the belt, the redhead lifted Zell pants and boxers a small crack, inhaling the sweaty scent beneath. Puma had never seen Zell naked before, and he'd looked forward to this moment for a long time.

"Hyne Puma…" Zell sighed, as he felt his belt get pulled undone. Puma kissed the line of pubic hairs that ran down from the blonde's bellybutton, as he undid the button of the pants. Slipping them down, Zell helped toss them to the floor so he only laid in his boxers. Puma readjusted himself so that he lied opposite of Zell, his head at the blonde's legs. He teased him, laying kisses up his inner thigh, until the light material touched his nose. Looking up, the redhead saw the boxers tented up, as Zell's aroused member showed its full potential. While he did this, Zell began to remove his belt, kissing him right below his stomach.

"Damn…" the redhead sighed, as his belt was thrown to the floor. Zell started to remove Puma's pants, as the redhead slowly started to pull off the blonde's boxers. His member finally became visible, and Puma was mesmerized. It was quite bigger then his own, and the blonde hairs at the base really turned him on. He couldn't contain himself; he licked the swollen head, getting his first taste of Zell. A shiver was sent down Zell's spine, as Puma continued to lick and kiss the top. He finally let his warm breath engulf it, savored the thick scent and taste of the blonde. Zell moaned loudly, probably resonating into other rooms, but he didn't care, they were supposed to be asleep anyway. After a few minutes of sucking and licking and kissing Zell's member, he felt the blonde tense up. Puma suddenly removed his mouth, and readjusted himself so his face was back beside Zell's.

"What's wrong?" Zell asked, disappointed in Puma's sudden decision.

"Fuck me," the redhead replied, looking deep into Zell's emerald eyes.

"You sure?" Puma nodded, and rolled over on his side, so his back faced Zell. The blonde had daydreamed about this at times, but in reality, he wasn't sure exactly how to do it. His cock still dripping with saliva, the blonde removed his boxers, spit all over the redhead's virginal opening, and then decided to try his best. Holding Puma tightly with one arm, his head slid in slowly.

"Oww…" Puma breathed in quickly, unaccustomed to the pain.

"You all right?" the blonde asked, stopping quickly.

"Yeah…just take it slow." So inch-by-inch, Zell slowly pushed into the redhead. He stopped every once in a while to let him get readjusted, but eventually had Puma's back against his chest.

"You ok?" Zell whispered into his ear.

"Yeah," Puma replied, although a dull pain still burned. "Fuck me." So with his limited space, Zell started to rock his hips back and forth.

"Hyne you're tight," the blonde whispered again. Puma moaned, as the dull pain was replaced with pleasure. He had accomplished his goal. He had become one with Zell. Feeling him move in and out almost sent the redhead over the edge. Having Zell's arm wrapped around him, and coming into contact with his stomach and chest with every thrust was paradise. The room suddenly became very hot, as sweat rolled down Zell's chest, and mixed with the sweat on Puma's back. The blonde soon picked up the pace, moving as fast as he could without falling off of the end of the couch. Puma savored every thrust, as the pain completely disappeared, and was replaced by pure bliss.

"Zell…" Puma moaned, between the blonde's thrusts. That sent Zell over the edge. He was already close to orgasm before they started, but Puma's ass choking his cock, and then the moans pushed Zell into overdrive. Stars flashed, as Zell clenched his eyes shut, and filled Puma with his seed.

"Uhh…unhhh," Zell moaned, as his convulsions slowly stopped. Feeling the blasts into him, Puma also lost control, and launched his cum in waves onto the carpet below him. The world suddenly came from a fast rush to a crushing stop, as both tried to regain their breath. Zell fucked for a little while longer, causing small amounts of seed to leak out of Puma onto the couch, but the blonde eventually went soft, and then stopped altogether. They laid in silence for a long while, unsure of what to say or what to do. Zell still held Puma tightly with his right arm, and they both continued to breathe heavily.

"Hello?" came a knock at the door. "Puma are you in there?" Zell immediately recognized it as Zoe's voice, and cupped his hand over the redhead's mouth before he could say anything.

"Don't answer it," Zell instructed. Puma was about to protest, but he really didn't feel like arguing with Zell right now.

"Anyone in there?" she continued with a few knocks. Getting no feedback, she sighed, and they heard her walk down the hallway. Puma looked back at Zell with confusion, but the blonde just shook his head.
