Title: Li'l Sibs
Spoilers: None really
Pairings: None currently
Notes: AU, Cloud has three little siblings, Reno has one, Sephiroth has four, from FF7 verse and KH as well. I don't have much in this verse yet, but it came from a picture I saw at one point.
Warnings: None currently
Disclaimer: FF7 and KH do not belong to me.
Cloud opened the oven to check the meatloaf that Rox had wanted. Then stirred the tortillini that Sora wanted. He was so glad that birthdays only occurred a few times a year and actual sleepover parties currently took place even less. Especially since Nami wasn't in school yet. While getting the vegetable that the twins agreed on ready for serving he heard a huge ruckus in the living room. A couple of the little ones were screaming and crying, and that was never a good sign. Especially after them being relatively quiet for most of the night before this.
Scooping up Nami as he strides down the hall, Cloud stops dead as he enters the room. The oldest visiting kid immediately latches on, (he was one of the crying ones for some reason) while Rox is face down being sat on by the middle one. The other three were surrounding the two and four of them were yelling back and forth at the top of their lungs, with his little brother and the other littlest leaking tears as well. Rox pro'lly would of been arguing too, but he seemed to be busy getting his face squished into the carpet and trying to push the slightly larger boy off.
Cloud blinks a few times to make sure he's not seeing things and then cries out, "Yaz, get off my brother, you're making it hard for him to breathe. And what is going on here?!"
As Yazoo pouts but complies, Loz hiccups and looks up at him with large watery eyes. "We was playin' house, cause Nami and 'Daj had a fit 'bout us playin' pirate and ninja. And we started makin' families and 'Daj wanted Nami, but Yaz didn't want a girl in his with his brothers. Rox got angry at Yaz, cuz he insulted Nami and they started yelling. 'Daj and I tried to get them to stop, we didn't want our families the same, cuz it's not the point of house to have the same families in house. Sora and Riku were just watching and playing that war card game thing while they waited for the setup, not that they really wanted to play house either. I think around then Nami wandered off to get you and the other two started hitting each other. The rest'a us tried to pry them offa each other and cool 'em down, but they was being really mean." Loz stops to breathe from the ramble. The other boys had separated Yazoo and Roxas.
Sora pipes up, "We sorta stopped tryin' to get 'em apart when Loz was clocked. He pulled back and sniffled, and he's way bigger and we're all littler than Rox and Yaz, so we had no way of gettin' 'em apart. Right before you came in Yaz pinned Rox and we all started yellin' at Yaz for bein' a big meanie and hurtin' Rox, 'specially since me an' him are the birthday boys. And he was yellin' back that he didn't care 'bout the rules of house, he only wanted his brothers as family not any of us. Which is even meaner cuz we haven't done nothin'." He pouts up at his really big brother.
Cloud could only stare and think, /what the hell was I thinking when I agreed to watch both my sibs and Seph's alone, all night? Was I thinking? What is that smell?... Oh hell/ "Dinner! Stay right there and don't move, you move and you're either going home or to bed." He sets Nami down, unlatches Loz' hand and bolts to the kitchen to turn off the oven and the stove before the meatloaf could burn and the tortellini boil over.
He takes off the apron and tosses it towards the hook and goes back out to the business of figuring out what to do with the boys. All the while wondering about his sanity.
