The Park [Tuesday Afternoon]

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

The park was a nice place to be. Open spaces, crazy ducks in the pond, picnic tables. Apparently the trees were good places to hang out as well.

Seifer was there, sitting on top of a picnic table under a tree, just watching the ducks. No, he wasn't avoiding people, not at all.

[Open park is open. Feel free to talk to Seifer or do your own thing. All threads with Seifer come BEFORE the one with Squall.]

Comments

Squall wandered up and silently leaned against the tree. Just watching the ducks, that was all. Oh, and glaring at Seifer grumpily.

There were going to be words, in a few moments, but he had to figure out what they were going to be, first.

Seifer was just going to sit right here on the picnic table and completely ignore Squall.

And that crazy squirrel wearing a trench coat in the tree that almost looked like one of those weird flasher guys they showed on the news.

Squall cleared his throat. "There will be no more texting about the weekend," he ordered. "Or twittering. Or gloating of any kind. I realize it's just a funny joke to you, but real people's feelings have been hurt."

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Seifer didn't even bother trying to deny it. Even when the whole fucking island was flipped over and turned inside out, he was still made out to be the bad guy.

"Yes, sir, Commander sir."

He'd finished that bottle Kenzi gave him way to fast. He was going to have to find more.

"This isn't a joke!!!"

Squall sighed and facepalmed. "...Fine, then I'm asking you. Politely. Please stop making light of it. It's hard enough coming to terms with this weekend without having to deal with your teasing."

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

"Making light of it?" Seifer pushed up off of the table and turned to glare at Squall. His voice rising with each word.

"You really think I'm making light of the fact that someone or something fucked with my head again and had me doing stuff I would never do? Fucking Hyne, Squall. Just how fucking much do you hate me to think I would screw over Rinoa or Karla like that?"

He hadn't yelled before with Rinoa, but he was definitely yelling now, and shaking with the rage he was feeling.

Squall blinked at Seifer in confusion, and then calmly pulled out his phone, called up Seifer's text, and showed it to him.

'Puberty Boy. Sex wasn't bad. Sry I slept w/ur gf too.'

"Yes, I think you're making light of it. And I DON'T APPRECIATE IT."

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

"I have called you Puberty Boy since before we even hit it, Commander," Seifer growled out. "And I was apologizing and giving you a fucking compliment at the same time, because I know how Hyne-damned emo you get about shit like that."

Seifer clenched his fists, fighting the urge to throw a few fire spells at Squall's head. "Trust me, if I was going to make light of the situation, I'd be giving out every damn detail to anyone who would listen, and making sure to embellish anything that would embarrass you."

Because that is just what he did when he didn't care about someone.

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"This? Was your idea of an apology?" Squall looked at Seifer intently, trying to figure out whether or not he was lying.

He certainly was upset enough...

"Fine. Okay. Whatever." He shrugged. "I thought you were supposed to be better than me at this sort of thing."

Kenzi hadn't brought booze this time, but she did bring cookies. "Hey, dude. We going to blow more shit up?" Yay! New friends with superpowers! Power through the awkward and out the other side to explosions!

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Cookies were okay, but Seifer really needed booze. "Nah, but I can introduce you to the big guy if you want," he told her as he reached for the cookies.

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"I want!" Kenzi grinned, and got out her iPhone. "Think he'd mind a picture? I just want to have proof I'm not crazy, later." She nibbled on her own cookie, and settled in, looking hopeful.

Seifer nodded and closed his eyes. The air around him shimmered a bit, and then Seifer looked over Kenzi's shoulder and grinned.

Behind her was a rather large, beast looking creature with horns (http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/2/24/Ifrit_FFVIII.jpg). His arms were folded across his chest, and he just smirked down at Kenzi.

"Kenzi, meet Ifrit."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi turned. And screamed at the topic of her lungs. While shooting a picture.

"...hi...?"

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Seifer doubled over laughing, while Ifrit just rolled his eyes and made a muttered comment about humans.

No, Seifer wasn't about to repeat the part that wasn't in Common language.

"Don't worry, he's not going to hurt you."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Better not. I know people!" Kenzi threatened the really huge guy who could EAT HER IN TWO BITES. "They would avenge my death!... please don't make them have to do that," she said in more moderate tones, then turned and whapped Seifer for laughing. "Dude! You could've warned me he's the size of a tree!"

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

The guardian just rolled his eyes and leaned against a tree, which made a slight cracking noise as he did.

Seifer just took the hit in stride. "Because it ruins half the fun. Be glad I don't have Shiva, she is literally one cold bitch. And Bahamut... bad ass dragon bigger than the school."

Karla was also being emo in the park. Shut up, Seifer, you were totally being emo. She'd spent a goodly part of the day gardening, working out her frustrations on the land.

She had actually managed to calm herself down for the first time since she'd woken up on Monday. And that calm mood lasted until she was walking back to the dorms...

...and spotted Seifer on the picnic table.

"Balls."

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

"Yep, the ducks have them." It was completely random, but he had to say it.

[glacial_queen]

"I generally don't look that closely at waterfowl," Karla retorted.

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking more along the lines of having the balls to attack the people who live here," he replied.

Because most of the student could kill them with the flick of a finger.

[glacial_queen]

"That's more the flamingos," Karla said.

That was the voice of experience talking right there.

"So..."

Awkward!

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

Seifer sighed and turned to look at her. "Would it make hitting me easier if I made up something to say? Like you were a lousy lay or something?"

[glacial_queen]

"Who says I was going to hit you?" Karla asked defensively, wrapping her arms over her chest and hunching over a bit. "Though if you did say that, I probably would."

And now that the possibility was raised, she was going to stress out over it for awhile.

"...It wasn't your fault."

Because if Seifer was responsible, than she was, too. For him and for Nathan. And Warren, for Tony.

[knight-fatali.livejournal.com]

"Funny how the one who hates me the most, is the only one who hasn't said something nasty to me about it today."

Which, was a bit shocking and not helping his emo.
