Sephiroth is in the kitchen... cooking for Zack and Cloud

Zack complains about his sore back from sleeping on the couch

Sephiroth walks out with some steaming plates

Sephiroth says, "Zack... how have you been sleeping?"

Zack says, "Terrible"

Sephiroth says, "I mean... before you came back here"

Zack says, "Oh... well.. Its kinda weird.. just like the rest of everything"

Sephiroth says, "well... you can tell me"

Zack says, "He kinda sticks to the wall and holds me..... "

Sephiroth gives the plate to Zack and blinks

Sephiroth says, "he what?"

Zack says, "Told ya... He sticks to the wall with his tentacles or something....."

Sephiroth says, "That's way odd"

Zack says, "Its comfy... cuz he holds me ALL night..... or he'll drop me"

Sephiroth sighs and goes to Cloud with another plate

Cloud Strife sits and eats quietly

Sephiroth says, "I think Zack is showing off now...."

Sephiroth sighs and sits next to Cloud

Zack says, "Showing off?"

Sephiroth says, "yeah... you are complaing about me"

Zack says, "How many days have I been here? I promised I'd be back..."

Sephiroth says, "3 days... you going now?"

Zack says, "I really should"

Sephiroth nods

Zack says, "I mean... Living in a cave isn't the best.... but he'll get worried and all...."

sephiroth says, "alright... then go... want to us to come with you for a while since you visited us?"

Zack says, "Sure... mebbe I can still get him to eat cloud...."

Zack grins mischievously

sephiroth says, "hey!"

sephiroth frowns

sephiroth says, "why do you hate Cloud?"

sephiroth puts a protective wing around Cloud

Zack says, "I don't hate him"

Cloud Strife flicks something off his plate at Zack

sephiroth says, "alright... let's go... I want to see where you live now any way"

sephiroth kisses Cloud's forehead

Zack says, "Lemme get some fresh fruit and stuff to take back.. I've been living off squirrels and rabbits"

Sephiroth says, "ok Zack"

Sephiroth enters the caves a few days later... a wing around Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Creepy.... Zack... you live here?"

Zack nods

Zack says, "It isn't too bad... I spend most of my time outside..... chasing dinner"

Zack leads them to the ledge... and climbs up onto it

Sephiroth spreads his wings and flies up, holding Cloud

Zack says, "cheaters"

Sephiroth sets Cloud at his side and looks around

Zack says, "Hmm.. wonder where he got to"

Rufus Shinra is asleep in the water a little ways away from the ledge

Cloud Strife says, "Umm...what's that?"

Cloud Strife points at the cocoon

sephiroth looks to where Cloud is pointing

Zack says, "Umm... that's Rufus'...... dinner"

sephiroth says, "hmmm... Where is he then?"

Zack shrugs

Zack says, "Don't know...."

Rufus Shinra wakes up and lifts his head out of the water. gets out of the water.. dripping wet... and climbs up the wall. gets to the ledge

Rufus Shinra says, "Zack! hey... these the people you told me about?"

sephiroth pulls Cloud closer into his wing

Zack says, "Hey! Yeah..... this is Sephiroth... and that under there is di.... err Cloud"

Rufus Shinra says, "I figured the winged one was Sephiroth"

Rufus Shinra goes to Zack and hugs him tightly

Zack says, "Well yeah... Seph isn't hard to miss..."

Rufus Shinra kisses Zack

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm pleased to see you"

Zack says, "I came back as soon as I Could... "

Rufus Shinra says, "Have fun?"

Zack says, "Yeah... Seph's cooking and the beach and all... its nice... but you wouldn't like it"

sephiroth looks down at Cloud and cuddles him with a wing... wanting to comfort him

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm glad you did"

Rufus Shinra gets up on the wall and looks down into the egg nest

Rufus Shinra says, "did you see this love?"

Zack walks over and peers in

Cloud Strife leans against Sephiroth

sephiroth says, "Are you going to be alright Cloud?"

Zack says, "Wow... Its only been a week or so... they're getting big"

Rufus Shinra nods

Cloud Strife says, "Im fine.... I don't think I want to know what's in that cocoon though..... its moving a little...."

Rufus Shinra says, "They'll be hatching soon"

sephiroth says, "I have an idea..."

sephiroth looks at Zack and Rufus

Cloud Strife says, "hmm?"

Rufus Shinra says, "not sure"

sephiroth kisses Cloud's forehead

Cloud Strife says, "what idea Seph?"

Rufus Shinra moves a tentacle out and caresses Zack's cheek

sephiroth whispers it in Cloud's ear

Cloud Strife blinks

Zack smiles at Rufus. gestures at Cloud and Sephiroth

Rufus Shinra says, "Not sure... Cloud looks like he might be getting pale"

Zack says, "he never was one for violence in any form"

Rufus Shinra says, "ahhhhhh"

sephiroth says, "my sweet little Cloud"

Zack says, "he belongs with his angel"

Rufus Shinra says, "and what about you my dear Zack?"

Zack says, "I belong with you... you're an angel in your own way.... you saved me and love me"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "Thank you... and you to me.... you are like that to me"

sephiroth picks up Cloud and cuddles him

sephiroth says, "so, what's it like in here?"

Zack says, "Personally its damp and chilly... but Its what Rufus likes"

Rufus Shinra says, "well... we can try and warm it up for you"

Rufus Shinra pulls some tentacles around him... kissing him deeply

sephiroth rests Cloud in his arms. watches Zack and Rufus with interest

Zack kisses back.... enjoying Rufus' embrace

Rufus Shinra continues to kiss him

Cloud Strife says, "umm......"

sephiroth says, "what is it Cloud?"

sephiroth cuddles Cloud, looking down into his eyes

sephiroth says, "want to leave then?"

Cloud Strife says, "yes... Its kinda rude but Im just not liking this"

sephiroth says, "we'll see you two"

sephiroth carries Cloud out to the side close to Junon

Zack says, "Sorry... Cloud is a stick in the mud "

Rufus Shinra says, "is ok"

sephiroth kisses Cloud and sits down against the rocks

Rufus Shinra looks to Zack

Rufus Shinra says, "what is it?"

Zack says, "Thought I saw it move"

Rufus Shinra says, "maybe it did"

Rufus Shinra looks down

Rufus Shinra says, "they could be hatching..."

Rufus Shinra kisses Zack's cheek

Zack touches one tentatively. feels the egg wiggle

Zack says, "It's... definitely moving.... umm..."

Rufus Shinra kisses Zack again and watches the top most egg start to crack

sephiroth says, "I wonder what they are doing"

Cloud Strife says, "I dunno... but Zack has weird tastes in men"

sephiroth says, "how so?"

Zack says, "wow... "

Cloud Strife says, "Only Zack could fall in love with some tentacled man-eating freak"

Zack says, "oh... its.... um.......... cute?"

sephiroth says, "hmmm...."

Rufus Shinra chuckles. picks the hatchling up in his hand and looks over at the cocoon. climbs up to it and makes hole in the cocoon. drops the hatchling down into it

Zack says, "Oh... well of course you gotta feed em...."

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah"

Zack says, "I guess Im gonna have to be ferrying meals more regularly"

Rufus Shinra climbs back down to Zack and smiles, holding him

Rufus Shinra says, "does that upset you?"

Zack says, "Well.... we should move around... if too many people start disappearing they are gonna start hunting us down... I'll have to ride to Midgar and snag people for a while"

Rufus Shinra says, "Don't worry Zack... we'll get this sorted out... I don't want you to get overworked"

Sephiroth kisses Cloud

Sephiroth says, "you really didn't like Rufus at all? "

Rufus Shinra watches the other eggs hatch

Zack says, "How many in all?"

Rufus Shinra says, "not sure... and it will not show how many will grow up"

Zack says, "Some of em aren't gonna make it?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm not sure... but that's what instinct tells me..."

Zack says, "Aww.... well.... we'll hope for the best"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah"

Rufus Shinra picks up other hatchlings as they break free of the eggs and places them in the cocoon

sephiroth leans his head on Cloud's shoulder

Rufus Shinra kisses Zack again as all of them finish hatching

Zack sits down on the cave floor and watches Rufus

Rufus Shinra climbs down with them after all the hatchlings are feeding on the cocooned food. cuddles Zack, kissing his cheek

sephiroth smiles at Cloud

Zack tugs playfully on one of Rufus' tentacles

sephiroth says, "we should go home, if that's what you want?"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "you enjoy doing that?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... they seem to be happy ... and busy together..... so why not go home?"

Zack says, "Of course... why wouldn't I like touching you?"

sephiroth says, "alright then... let's go home"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "I love you"

sephiroth stands up, picking Cloud up with him

Zack says, "I love you too Rufus.... just don't let the kids snack on me or anything"

Rufus Shinra says, "I won't... I wouldn't want you to die"

Rufus Shinra kisses him gently

sephiroth says, "come on, let's go home"

Zack says, "How long are they gonna be all icky looking? They are gonna.... umm grow up right?"

Rufus Shinra says, "'yeah... I'm not sure"

Cloud Strife says, "Okay Seph.... Im sure they'll understand"

Zack says, "How fast you think they are gonna eat? Am I gonna have to recruit on a daily basis?"

Rufus Shinra kisses him

Rufus Shinra says, "not sure... "

Sephiroth carries Cloud off, away from the caves

Rufus Shinra says, "I don't think they'll eat that fast... but I'm not sure"

Zack plays with Rufus' hair

Rufus Shinra puts his arms and tentacles around Zack

Zack says, "Mm... you are the best... and so damned seductive too"

Rufus Shinra says, "Seductive love?"

Zack says, "yes... you know exactly what I want...."

Sephiroth kisses Cloud as they move

Rufus Shinra caresses the side of his face with one tentacle

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... and you love me"

Cloud Strife says, "Why would he wanna live in a creepy cave Seph?"

Cloud Strife tries not to look down

Sephiroth says, "who?"

Cloud Strife says, "Zack.."

Sephiroth says, "because it's where Rufus lives"

Rufus Shinra nuzzles his neck

Cloud Strife says, "Are you happy where we live?"

Sephiroth says, "yes... the beach.. the trees... you...."

Sephiroth kisses him

Cloud Strife says, "What is Rufus anyway? He eats people...."

Sephiroth says, "I'm not sure... something with tentacles... that looks sort of human"

Zack nips gently at Rufus' shoulder.. taking great care not to break the skin

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "You are so good to me"

Zack says, "Cuz I love you silly"

Rufus Shinra says, "and I love you"

Rufus Shinra kisses him gently

sephiroth says, "What do you think he is?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I have never been loved before... which is why I love you so much"

Cloud Strife says, "Don't know Seph... you're different too"

Sephiroth says, "I know... but everyone is different in some ways"

Rufus Shinra rests his head on Zack's shoulder

Cloud Strife says, "I wish I had wings"

sephiroth flaps his wings, lifting them into the air

Cloud Strife says, "I would love to be able to fly.... think of all that we could do on the wing....."

sephiroth says, "yes"

Rufus Shinra cuddles Zack... smiling

sephiroth kisses Cloud gently as he holds onto him tightly

Rufus Shinra says, "you happy?"

Cloud Strife sighs

Zack says, "Of course... how could I not be happy?"

Rufus Shinra smiles

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm happy too.... I want to keep you happy"

sephiroth says, "I know Cloud... I still don't know why I have wings"

sephiroth says, "You deserve me"

Cloud Strife says, "no I don't....."

sephiroth says, "yes you do"

Cloud Strife says, "Im just a kid..... you're..... perfection incarnate"

sephiroth says, "you flatter me"

Sephiroth lands them on a mountain top and places Cloud on his lap as they watch the sun set

Rufus Shinra says, "What do you want to do love?"

Zack says, "Hmm.... "

sephiroth says, "Don't think less of yourself Cloud.... I love you"

Cloud Strife says, "I know you do Seph..... but I've always wanted to be more"

sephiroth says, "then?"

Rufus Shinra smiles at Zack

Cloud Strife says, "More than a nothing...."

sephiroth pulls his wings around Cloud

sephiroth says, "but you are. You are the one I love"

Cloud Strife says, "only because you think so Seph....."

sephiroth says, "doesn't that matter?"

Rufus Shinra says, "want to get some sleep?"

Cloud Strife says, "It does....."

Zack yawns

Zack says, "Sure sweetie"

sephiroth says, "Then just remember that... let's just sleep here tonight love"

Rufus Shinra pulls Zack into his tentacles and climbs up the wall

Rufus Shinra says, "sleep then"

Rufus Shinra nestles into the wall

Zack yawns and falls asleep.. happy to be back with Rufus

Rufus Shinra falls asleep as well... happy to be with his love

Cloud Strife says, "You love me...... that's all that matters right?"

Cloud Strife closes his eyes

sephiroth says, "correct... and you love me too"

sephiroth keeps his wings around Cloud in the sitting position

Cloud Strife says, "I love you.. yes... G'night"

Sephiroth says, "good night my sweet love"
