Now for part 6.....

Seifer Almasy and Squall Leonhart are having a silent lunch when the blonde spots Irvine stumbling out of the elevator. Though he cannot see Irvine clearly due to the distance, it is obvious that the young student is in pain. Upon closer inspection, his eyes are red from crying, his uniform is disheveled, and his pants are spattered with white. When Seifer gets up from his seat, Irvine notices him and runs toward the dorms. "(Irvine...)," Seifer mutters, "(Not again.........)"

Squall looks up, "What's wrong?"

"Squall....... Irvine's being raped by Kramer......"

"What...?! Why?"

"I... I don't know...... but he's gonna pay..... Will you help me?"

Squall chews his upper lip, thinking deeply.

"What the hell is there to think about Squall?! Kramer's fucking Irvine against his will! I'm gonna rip his nuts off!!! Are you gonna help me or not?"

"He's my boss, Almasy... it's not that easy! If I rebel against him...... my career's over."

Seifer glares at his friend. "Is that all you think about Squall? Irvine's being molested by your superior and you're worried about your damn job! Look, I love Irvine more than anyone or anything in this world... And if you can get your head out of your ass long enough to help me.. you're welcome to come along......" With that sharp remark Seifer walks out of the cafeteria.

Within minutes Seifer arrives at Irvine's dorm room. He gently knocks, "Irvine.... I'm sorry I..... I'm so sorry......." The once stoic Seifer breaks down in tears. The metallic door opens a crack, and a sliver of the shattered youth's face peeks out. "Seifer.... Just leave," Irvine cries softly.

"No...... I won't leave you this time......"

"Why not.....?" Irvine's strength wanes in his voice, forcing him to cry even harder through his words, "You did when Kramer forced himself on me the first time...." The cowboy's strength vanishes, and he falls to his knees crying hysterically. Seifer forces the door open and gathers Irvine into his arms. "Irvine....," Seifer breathes into Irvine's soft hair, "I want to help you........"

"Seifer...... He.... made me come..... I.. I didn't want to....."

"I promise.... He'll pay for what he's done to you......" Seifer kisses Irvine's delicate lips and picks him up off the floor. After closing the electronic door, he lays his broken lover on the bed, holding him tight, letting him cry into broad shoulders. Seifer closes his eyes, drifting off to sleep with his beloved Irvine safe in his arms.
