Warnings: Angst
Rating: PG13
Summary: Squall breaks Seifer's heart. Timeline here.


You're laying beneath me, stretched out, your eyes closed. I lean down to kiss your neck, moving to push your jacket off, and you put a hand on mine, pushing it away. I ask you what's wrong. Whether you're just not in the mood or something. You don't say a word, acting just like you always used to. But back then I couldn't think of a way to make you respond, except to force you to fight me.

Now I know exactly how to make you respond.

I kiss you fiercely, and you barely respond, taking a deep, shuddering breath as I move my kisses down your neck, nipping not so gently, but not too hard. I hear the little hitches in your breath, the familiar, beautiful little hitches, and run my hands up under your shirt.

When I glance up, your eyes are tight shut still. You're biting your lip.

Seifer, you say, in a whisper, and then louder, and I sit up a little. You push my hands away and tell me to stop. I pull away, bewildered by the coldness in your eyes, but you aren't giving me any answers.

You tell me to go.

I ask when I can come back, and you say it, that horrible, horrible word. Never. I can't believe you've said it.

I get up slowly, but you still won't meet my eyes. You've finally taken the bait that I never thought you would touch. You finally... told me to stop. I wonder if it's anger, or shame, or what. But I daren't ask. Your face is so cold, so blank. It hurts.

I said I would stop, if you asked. I said I would leave, if you just said the word. But I never expected you to want me to.

You're breaking my heart.

Gah? Only Squall would nearly die, then profess his feelings (such as he can) for Seifer and Zell and their games, and then tell Seifer to leave. Silly angst muffin.

Ouch, that broke my heart.
