Wasn't Zell cute, blushing like that over a little kiss to the fingers? Seifer seemed to think so. He made a mental note of it to use later in a better setting than the two of them bleeding and on their way to the infirmary. They could have a little private celebration when they were released. Seifer grinned to himself thinking about it. It was good to have something to look forward to, because Seifer really hated doctors. It wasn't a specific fear of needles or anything like that. He just hated them in general. They made him uncomfortable, and the last time he'd been in a hospital hadn't been pleasant.

At least Zell was around to keep Seifer amused. Even though he didn't like his blonde bird being in pain, they would at least get to hang out in the infirmary together. Seifer did a pretty decent imitation of a tiger growl. "Is that your new nickname for me, Birdie?" he teased. "I like it." Him a tiger and Zell a bird... Yeah, that was a very interesting image. Which again was good because he was about to face a doctor. Seifer gulped nervously as he was forced away from Zell for an individual examination. They didn't tell him anything he didn't already know. Stab wounds to the shoulder, muscle damage, blah blah blah. Even though Zell acted like a little kid he was a helpful distraction for Seifer.

"Hey, Birdie." Seifer poked his head in to check up on Zell. "Promise not to tell, but I can't stand these places. They make me really uncomfortable. So... would you mind staying here with me? Doc says I gotta stay here. They wanna make sure the nerve damage isn't permanent or something." That was somewhat true, but he had also heard that Zell had to stay the night so he had asked to be allowed to stay as well. But he wasn't going to tell Zell that!
