The Orphanage- Revisited. Chapter 2.

IIiiII

Edea walked into the house followed by Seifer then Zell and then Raijin. The girls had stayed outside with Quistis. Seifer sat at the head of the dining table, Zell sat on his left and Raijin sat across the room on the sofa with his back to the dining table. He turned on the TV and started channel flicking.

Edea turned Seifer's face up to the light and gently touched his red swollen cheek bone.

"Oh dear you'll have a nice bruise tomorrow morning." He turned to go into the kitchen to get some ice.

"Great, I'm going to look like some beaten housewife." He moaned.

"Good thing we're out here and away from garden then you know."

Seifer looked at his questioningly.

"Well we're the only that are going to see you, you know." Raijin looked back over his shoulder at the pair.

"Here you go." Edea came back out of the kitchen with a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel.

"Thanks." He held it to his face. "You're awfully quiet Chickie."

"What else can I say? How many times do you want me to say I'm sorry before you forgive me?"

"Who said anything about forgiving you? You'd better be nice to me from now on Chickie."

"Maybe if you kissed it better for him." Irvine said as he came in the door.

Seifer glared at him out of his good eye and Raijin laughed.

"Irvine where have you been?" Zell asked, completely ignoring the comment.

"I went to check in on the ice prince but he and Rinoa looked busy so I leave them alone."

Seifer raised his eyebrow. "You don't mean '/busy' /busy do you?"

"No." Irvine scoffed. "Or at least I don't think so or I mean..." He paused. "I don't know. They were sitting close and it looked like she had her head in his lap."

Seifer laughed. "Ah, nothing like a blowjob to cheer you up is there?"

"Seifer!" Zell scolded. "Rinoa would never do that!"

"You think?"

"A-And even if she did Squall's way too much of a-"

"Freak?"

"Ugh, I was going to say nice guy." Zell scowled at him.

Seifer scoffed. "Sure nice if you like socially inept, lonely loser type."

Irvine took a chair from the other end of the table and turned it around to straddle it.

He chuckled. "You are such an asshole sometimes."

"Sometimes?" Zell scoffed.

"Hey!" Seifer hit him in the arm. "What did I say about being nice to me?"

"I am nice to you, plenty nice considering you're such an asshole to me and well- everyone."

"But I think he wants you to be 'real' nice to him Zell."

The little blonde frowned. "Will you stop saying those things, you're starting to make me feel dirty."

Edea steeped back into the room. "Sorry to interrupt this.... 'interesting' conversation."

Zell blushed.

"But I thought instead you might want to choose a DVD to watch after dinner." She gestured to the pile on the coffee table. "I brought a wide selection to choose from."

Raijin sat up and starting looking through them with interest.

"Oooh!" Zell leapt out of his chair. "I know what we can watch!" He ran to the DVD pile and dug out his film.

"The return of the raging Marlboros!"

They looked at him like he'd gone crazy.

"No!" Seifer said.

"Why not? You never gave 'Attack of the raging Marlboros' a chance!"

"Zell we sat through your stupid movie for almost three hours, it sucked!" Irvine said.

"Besides you know, I'm sure the girls will want to vote on it and they will not want to watch a horror move full of Marlboros, you know."

They all looked up when the door squeaked open and Squall wandered in, he stopped realizing everyone was watching him.

"What?"

They all shook their heads. "It's nothing.

"Hey Squall, come and help me pick a movie for us to watch later." Zell suggested.

The brunette silently crossed the room and looked through the DVDs.

"Don't you think we should watch 'Return of the raging Marlboros'?"

Squall blinked, taking the DVD that Zell held and threw it to the floor.

The other guys laughed.

"See Zell, everyone agrees it's a terrible film." Seifer said.

The little blonde frowned. "Oh what do you guys know?" He slumped into the arm chair in the corner. "At least I like a variety of films and not just a load of vampire movies."

Squall frowned. "What's wrong with vampires?"

Seifer gasps in shock. "It talks!"

Squall glared at him.

"They're all the same. Vampires raise from their graves they kill a bunch of people that chase after those ridiculous blonde screaming girls. Boring!"

"Zell who've wrote your move should die, you know."

"You find the address, I'll get my gunblade."

Everyone turned to gape at Squall.

"Did you just make a joke?" Seifer asked.

"Who said I was joking?" He asked in straight faced expression.

"Whoa! You keep this up we might actually start to think you have a personality."

Squall frowned at Seifer and turned to leave.

"Oh honey don't go, Seifer's just being a jerk as usual ignore him."

The brunette bristled at the nickname and slid out of the door.

"Nice going asshole you scared him away." Irvine scolded.

Seifer's smile turned teasing. "Me? You're the one who called him /honey/." He chuckled.

Irvine rolled his eyes. "Oh please, don't be stupid I was just being friendly. I'm a friendly person, Squall knows that."

"Yeah real friendly."

Irvine rolled his eyes. "I call everyone names."

"I don't call me /honey/."

The cowboy raised an eyebrow. "I didn't realize you wanted me to, I didn't think I was your type."

Seifer rolled his eyes.

"Hey what are you all doing?" Selphie walked in following by a line of other girls.

She stopped and grinned. "Hope we're not interrupting anything." She grinning in a dirty way.

Raijin chuckled. "What is this obsession you have with your male friends getting it on, you know?"

Fujin dropped down at the sofa next to Raijin.

"It's because she's perverted." Rinoa grinned, sitting on the arm of the sofa.

"And horny." Fuijin added.

"And not getting any." Rinoa said.

"Unlike some people, right Rinoa?" Seifer teased.

She at him, saw his smirk and turned on Selphie. "You told him!"

Selphie blinked. "I didn't say anything!"

"So it's true then?" Irvine asked.

Rinoa frowned. "It's impossible to keep a secret from you guys!"

"Why would you want to keep it a secret?"

She sighed. "Well fine okay, yes I have a boyfriend and no you can't meet him, maybe when we get back to garden I'll arrange it okay?"

The guys stared at her.

"What?"

"You mean- you're not screwing Squall?" Seifer asked.

Her jaw dropped. "What?! Of course not!" She started to laugh. "Why would you think that?!"

"Irvine said you gave him a blowjob."

"What?!" The cowboy said. "I didn't say that, you did!"

"Why would I date Squall again, we're friends."

"Well, you get on well, he's a sort of attractive, definitely attractive maybe even sexy..." Zell trailed off. "What?" He asked, seeing everyone looking at him.

Irvine nudged Seifer. "Ooh some competition for you!"

"Shut up!" He hissed back.

Zell blinked. "What, it was just an observation."

"Anyway, you know-" Raijin started to say. "We were just deciding on a movie to watch tonight, any suggestions you know?"

Fujin's eyes lit up on the DVD that lay on the floor near her feet. "Oh! The return of the raging Marlboros." She picked it up and turned the box over to read the description. "I've been meaning to watch this!"

Raijin stared at her.

"What?" she asked, looking around the room to see that everyone was staring at her.

Zell punched the air. "Yes! Fujin agrees with me! Well that's two votes for my movie then!"

Seifer shook his head. "Well that's the insane vote done then, now how about some sane choices?"

"Did you see the original?" Fujin asked Zell.

He nodded. "Uh huh, best Marlboro movie ever!"

"I agree, did you see the bit when-"

"Okay!" Seifer butted in. "Please stop this, you're scaring me to death."

Irvine wrinkled up his face. "What does this say about you, man?" He hissed to Seifer.

"What?"

"You know, your best friend and your..." He grinned. "Special friend.... Both loving stupid monster horror movies." He sat back in his chair. "You have the strangest taste in.... people."

Seifer frowned. "Yeah whatever."

The others were arguing about movies.

"I like action!" Selphie said.

"We know!" Raijin chuckled. "And Fujin's a closet romance."

She turned and glared at him causing him to flinch and raise his arms over his head afraid of her hitting him.

Squall wandered into the room and put a DVD on the table.

"We should watch this."

Irvine picked it up getting to it before Seifer could. "The damned?" He raised an eyebrow. "It's this another vampire movie?" He turned the box over and read the description, his eyebrows getting higher and higher. "Is this a homoerotic vampire movie?" He grinned. "I vote for this!"

"Ooh let me see!" Selphie snatched it away.

Zell sulked. "Not another vampire film."

"Gay vampires Chickie." He grinned. "That's completely different."

Selphie squealed. "Vampire porn!"

"It's not porn, it's an erotic film!"

"How is that different? Instead of having screaming women there are screaming men." He huffed then looked up at Irvine. "Is that sex in it?"

"So the box says."

"Squall I'm surprised at you." Quistis said.

"You are?" Fujin said. "Why? You've seen how much leather he wears."

Seifer laughed.

After dinner the gang settled into the living room in front of the TV.

Irvine had tried to coax someone to share one of the armchairs with him because of the lack of chairs. Instead Fujin and Quistis shared one of the large arm chairs ad Selphie and Rinoa had the other one. Zell sat on the floor his head unconsciously resting back against Seifer's leg. The tall blonde sat on the end of the sofa with Irvine next to him and then Raijin on the other end. The first time Zell had settled down on the floor he had leant his head on the sofa cushion and slouched to reach it but then he sat up straighter and found Seifer's legs were good pillows too. This causing much smirk and grins to be aimed in Seifer's direction, the older man responded with mouthing swear words at them and giving them the finger silently, all this went straight over Zell's head he didn't even notice.

Squall had brought out two padded white and pink chairs from Edea's room and he sat on one between Raijin's end of the sofa and the armchair containing Selphie and Rinoa. Edea sat in the other chair next to Seifer's end of the sofa.

The film started, after half an hour into it Selphie frowned in the darken room. "I thought this was vampire film I haven't seen any vampires yet."

Seifer gave her a look. "He's a vampire, the guy we're been watching since it started."

"Oh." She paused. "How can you tell?"

"He's wearing leather, he's standing in the shadows and he's hot."

"Oh."

"Why is making out with that guy? Shouldn't he be killing him?" Fujin asked.

Squall frowned. "That's another vampire and it's an erotic movie."

She huffed. "I'd prefer to see them get eaten by Marlboros."

Ten minutes later and said vampires were "dancing", or it looked more like having sex to music.

"Oh my, is this a porn film?" Edea asked.

"No, it's erotic."

"I don't remember buying this, who brought this?"

Everyone pointed at the embarrassed looking Squall.

She shifted in her seat and then got up. "I think I have some washing up to do."

Raijin covered up his eyes when the clothes started coming off. "Ugh this a bit much, don't you think guys? Guys?" He peeked out of his hands to see that everyone else was engrossed.

"Oh hell." He mumbled before getting up. "I'll give you a hand with the washing up." He told Edea.

Seifer nudged Irvine. "What?"

"Budge up a bit."

"Why?"

Seifer shoved at his shoulder. "Move over there!"

He sighed. "Okay, okay."

Seifer patted the now empty space next to him. "Hey Zell."

The little blonde got up and flopped down into the empty space.

Irvine sniggered.

"Shut up cowboy." Seifer muttered.

Zell looked between them. "What's with you two?"

Irvine shook his head. "It's nothing."

That night they all went to sleep in their room. Curtains were put up over the wall-less side of the room and through the middle.

The girls had two bunk bed, Rinoa and Selphie slept on the top bunks with Fujin and Quistis on the bottom ones.

Unfortunately the guys had the door on their side so Selphie clapped a hand over her eyes and marched through the curtain yelling. "I hope you're decent!" To get to the door to get a glass of water.

The guys had two bunks beds and a fold out sofa. The sofa was a double, which Squall slept on. Raijin had one bottom bunk with Irvine above him, Seifer slept on the other bottom bunk and Zell above.

Matron had provided them with a flood of blankets, worried that they would get cold in the cool night air.

Irvine had said that they keep each other warm and then Seifer suggested an orgy causing Edea to turn and walk back out of the room.

The lights were out all over the house and it was late.

Seifer stared at the top bunk, his eyes wide.

Irvine picked up his pillow and stuffed it back down on his head to try and drown out the noise.

So loud it could have woken the dead.

"Hey Chickie? Chickie?" Seifer called. "You awake?"

Zell groaned above him.

"Of course he's awake, who the hell can sleep through that noise?" Irvine answered.

Seifer peered trough the darkness and could just make out Squall blinking at them.

The noise was Raijin's snoring.

"Do you think the girls are awake?" The cowboy asked.

"Probably."

"Someone hit him or something." Zell said.

Seifer grimaced. "I don't know, last time he punched me in the face in his sleep and I have enough bruises."

Irvine smirked. "Seifer don't be such a chicken Wuss."

The older man's eyes narrowed. "Hey, don't compare me to the-"

The curtain parted and in walked a sleepy and pissed off Fujin. She glared at Seifer. "COWARD!"

She walked straight up to Raijin and just started slapping him continuously on the chest and arms.

Irvine and Zell leaned over to get a better look.

"Ow! Ow! Fu, what the hell are you doing?" Raijin came awake in a jolt.

She stopped her assault and glared at him.

"What did I do, you know?"

Instead of answering she spun on her heel and walked out again.

"Thank you Fujin." Squall said as she past.

Light applause could be heard from the other side of the curtain.

Seifer chuckled.

Raijin blinked in confusion.

"You were snoring." Seifer explained.

"Enough to wake the dead." Zell added.

"Don't do it again or Fujin will kill you." Irvine said.

"Oh, sorry you know." He paused for a second before rolling over and going back to sleep.
