Title: Vainglory
Characters/Pairings: Seifer

Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: While the term vainglory means excessive elation or pride over one's own achievements or abilities, it can also mean that there is empty pomp or show - which I think at times, applies very well to my dear Knight.


His eyes raked over his features in the mirror; took in his hair. Always in place and the perfect shade of blonde. The scar that only heightened his allure. Might have to thank Leonhart for it.

Green eyes skimmed their way down high cheekbones to the lips. Slightly full when not sneering at those beneath him, which sadly wasn't often. Everyone is always beneath me

Seifer knew his body was perfect. He worked out and kept himself in top shape. Nothing better than catching people staring at my physique when they shouldn't be. Gets them in the sack easier too.

Title: Swallow It Down
Characters/Pairings: Seifer, Squall

Rating: Oddly, G
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: I wanted to scream at them to "just suck it up!" but it didn't go that way!

He longed to go back like he longed to spar with Leonhart again, but he wouldn't go back. He couldn't. Can't swallow pride when it chokes you on the way down.

It would be too much to ask Seifer to come back, even if it would be for his supposed protection. Everyone, including Zell, bullied him to seek him out, but there were some things he couldn't allow himself to do. This was one of those things.

Squall watched Seifer turn away from the large arching gates of Balamb Garden and tried to convince himself it was for the best.
