Tifa's gone home. Sorry to her friends here.

Can't even give us a minute to say goodbye, can you.

No I'm pretty sure I was right on with "obnoxious."

[Action]

[wingenvy]

But I'm adorable and everyone loves me.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Well, I never said they didn't. [Cloud shakes a glass free of some water, searching for a towel to spread on the counter so he can stack them to dry.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[FFFFFF.] Obnoxious people are so unlovable though. They just get in your face and beg for attention and never leave you alone.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Maybe some people like that.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

What weird people.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You think? [Cloud stacks the last glass, not looking at Zack.] ...maybe they just know they'd be lonely otherwise.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack ponders that one briefly, the conversation's heading in a strange direction again, but with Cloud, that's a pretty regular occurrence.] I guess obnoxious people must be pretty grateful that there are weirdos around who can tolerate them, or they'd be pretty lonely too.

[Action]

Mm, I don't know. [Cloud dries his hands off, and starts capping the bottles to replace them in the cabinets.] Obnoxious people have that weird ability to find friends everywhere.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

It's easy to make friends, especially with people who are open to it. Those relationships don't take much effort on either end. [A pause; Zack's not making any move to help, mostly because when they're done they'll probably leave, and he's not too sure of what to do beyond drinking. Is this all Cloud needs...?] ...Best friends are the ones that you have to work for.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud pauses at that. And when he speaks again his voice is feigned casual, but there's a tightness beneath it.] So...best friends? I guess that works.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[...That doesn't sound good.] You don't sound so sure.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. [Cloud tosses the towel onto the counter.] But we should go before someone shows up demanding a drink or a meal.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[And for once Zack opts to let it go, because the day's been hard enough without starting some kind of argument.] ...Right. You wanna spar or something?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

...actually, I think I'm just gonna stargaze.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Wat.] Stargaze?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

You know, those little lights in the sky at night? [Cloud snorts and heads for the door, pausing at it to wait for Zack.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

Still a brat. [Zack follows him over, giving him a little shove out the door.] I didn't know you were into that.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud elbows him in return, sure to lock the door after them and pocketing the key this time.] I'm not into it like it's a hobby. I just...like doing it. [When I need to think.]

[Action]

[wingenvy]

[Zack steps back, waiting for him to finish up, hands clasped together on his head.] On your own, or...? [He doesn't want to make any assumptions.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Cloud raises a brow at him.] It's a quiet activity that requires you to lie still for some time.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

.....I can do that! [Maybe.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Zack, I doubt you could even sit still long enough for a haircut.

[Action]

[wingenvy]

I can so! I've had lots of practice with sitting still!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Oh God Zack that was CUTE. You sound like a three-year-old. Cloud covers his mouth and half-folds his arms, hiding the smile with the motion of rubbing his face thoughtfully.] Yeah? When?
