Okay so here's the deal, I wanted to try one of those alphabet story deals. I asked a few people to give me a list of words, one for each letter of the alphabet. I then asked for five characters to use. Then whenever I got bored or wanted to do something quick or the multichapter stories were driving me nuts (YES, I AM working on updates, I swear!) I'd do a few of these. There is ONE paragraph for each word and none are connected. It was a lot harder than I thought but a lot of fun, too.

The first completed is Reno's Boyfriend's and he gave the characters Riku, Reno, Vincent, Rude, and Selphie.

Some of these are simply strange and do not in anyway try to make sense of them.

As if you need reminding, I no own any of them.

Abdicator- Reno gaped at the massive amount of damage that had been caused. Beside him, Rude actually pulled down his sunglasses. In perfect unison, the pair looked at each other and then Sora and Yuffie. Reno snorted and began pushing Rude away from the scene. "That's it, yo. We are officially washing our hands of this. Good luck with Leonhart."

Bizarre- Riku narrowed his aqua eyes as he cast them about the crowded marketplace. This world was arid and sandy and nothing like home. Glancing over the various stands, he could not help but think that if Sora was here, the brunet would be completely taken in with all of the new items and wears for sale. Shaking himself of that thought, he made his way toward the palace. He had a job to do.

Cabaret- Riku still had no idea how he got roped into this. One minute, he was drawing in the park and the next he was being dragged by Sora, Yuffie, Marlene and Denzel toward the bar. Now he stood in a cleared out section of the floor, doing some impromptu song and dance routines with Sora as Yuffie played master of ceremonies and the pre-teens video taped it and a dozen patrons sat around smoking and drinking. All he knew was that there better be a damn good explanation or heads were going to roll.

Damnation- Riku watched as Vincent disappeared into the darkness of the night. Until he had met the man, he had truly believed that it was only those who had been injected with Jenova's cells who were forever damned. Now he realized that it was those who were simply in contact with the project that were truly the cursed ones. They were the ones who could have found a way to stop it.

Ebrious- Very abruptly, Reno laughed and slapped Zack's back. "Finally someone gets it! I don't know why people are convinced I'm total a drunk, yo. If I was the type of guy who got wasted all the time, I'd be a lousy Turk."

Fickle- "Oh my gosh, Tidus!" Selphie exclaimed in annoyance. "You liked it last week! What changed between then and now, huh? Nothing! Now you are going to sit here and stop being so darn…fickle! I swear you're as bad a Riku!"

Gaminesque- Riku chuckled as Sora abruptly whirled around, shouting at Donald for something. The duck countered and the two started chasing one another. Goofy shook his head and Vincent stared. Sora had been doing really well, carefully explaining to Vincent his theory about the hearts of worlds until Donald decided to jump in. The silvered teen glanced at the raven-haired man, "Now do you get what we mean when we say Sora is always going to be a big kid?"

Hamshackle- Vincent merely lifted an eyebrow. He allowed the scene before him to process for a moment before deciding he really did not want to know why Reno was bound up in rope and Rude was only half dressed. He simply turned and left.

Impish- Selphie giggled as Riku sighed and reluctantly nodded at Sora. The younger boy grinned widely and gave the silver-haired one a quick hug before running off. When Riku glared at her, the giggle became a laugh, "What? It's cute how all Sora has to do is give you that impish expression, and he has you wrapped around his finger."

Jackal- "So, wait, you decided that Cloud and my codenames should be Stone-Cold and The Jackal because of some soap opera that has a guy in it that sounds like Cloud?" Riku asked Selphie. When the girl nodded animatedly, he shook his head and sighed. "I'd tell you you're insane but you already know."

Keg- Riku placed the tap into the beer keg, once again finding it humorous that on Radiant Garden he and the others were all legally able to drink at age eighteen while here on Destiny Islands they had to get his husband to buy them alcohol. He shook his head at Cloud and indicated to the others that he was done. It was ridiculous how backwards his homeworld was.

Lotus- "Hey, Rude, check this out, yo." Reno launched into a disjointed series of kicks and punches, ending in an awkward looking position. He was hunched down, ankles crossed and hands fluttered out just below his chin. At seeing his partner's completely unimpressed expression, the redhead straightened out and frowned. "Fine, see if I ever use my lotus-blossom kung fu to save your sorry ass."

Malison- Tifa glared at Reno more angrily than she used to glare at Sephiroth. The redheaded Turk remained defiant until he noticed that Rude was backing her up. The bald man did not look noticeably different but Reno knew he was pissed. With both of them staring him down, he had no choice but to wither. "Okay! I'm sorry I taught Denzel to swear in multiple languages!"

Nacre- Riku fell against his bedroom door and slid down, blinking back tears. He had worked hard on his Mother's Day present. It was difficult to draw on the pearl-like surface of a shell. Sora's mom had been impressed by it and assured the eight-year-old that his mom would love it. He glanced at the object in his hand wondering why his mother had refused it.

Obi- "This is ridiculous," commented Riku as Selphie continued to cover him in odd necklaces and thick sashes. She had dressed herself in gaudy clothes and a make-shift headdress, shaking a rattle at him. "Doing weird religious rituals is not going to get me pregnant."

Phronistery- Rude lifted an eyebrow as he listened to Reno smoothly insert himself into the conversation between Riku, Leon, and Yuki. His words were confident and all three of the others looked at him with a mix of surprise and impress. The bald man was the one to speak for all of them: "When did you become so educated in Socrates?"

Quadroon- Riku dropped his head into his hand. He was not sure if he should say anything or not. Rude and Tifa did not seem to mind Sora's abrupt announcement, but suddenly shouting oh, so the twins are quadroons! was not the best way for Sora to show off his new vocabulary.

Retroject- "Oh! I've got this!" Selphie quickly got into position to bump the volleyball back over the net. She hit the ball and it soared up… behind her. She turned just in time to see it arch down, ready to hit the Mayor square in the back of the head. The middle-aged man was saved by Leon reaching up and hitting the ball back toward her without breaking from his conversation. Catching it, Selphie swore that later on she would thank the man with whatever he wanted.

Sable- Selphie looked like she was about to explode. She stared at the sable-haired man, arms folded before her chest and shaking. Leon glanced back at her and frowned deeply, clearly wondering why the teenager was so angry. Abruptly, she reached over and hit his shoulder before tugging on the fur collar of his jacket. "This better not be real fur!"

Tetris- "Damn it all!" Riku cursed, once again removing half the contents of the pantry. Cloud simply sat at the kitchen table, wearing a small, amused smile and watching as his young lover attempted yet again to fill the space to his satisfaction. The teen finished taking things out and folded his arms, pouting. "It's like a fuckin' game of Tetris."

Ulosis- Vincent took in Sephiroth's pained eyes with his usual, near-expressionless demeanor. The silver-haired man nodded slowly, indicating that he understood what the other man had told him. He muttered I'm sorry and turned away. There was something so heart-breakingly familiar about it, Vincent nearly gasped. As Sephiroth walked away, the former Turk felt yet another invisible scar begin to form on his heart.

Vorant- He was slowly being consumed. He felt it in his bones and more importantly, his heart. It was creeping into every part of him it could reach, whispering into his soul with that deep male voice. The only place it seemed it could not touch was his mind. His mind was somehow being protected by something else that spoke in a quiet, soothing, motherly tone mine.

Whack- Reno snickered as Sora stared at him with jaw dropped and huge blue eyes. He let the boy gape for a few moments longer before downing the rest of his drink and chuckling. "I said, I got paid to whack guys, not whack off guys, Sora. Jeeze, get your mind out of the gutter, yo."

Xerotic- Vincent swallowed carefully, normally controlled expression looking a bit pained. He coughed once and immediately took a sip of water. Yuffie and Sora watched him expectantly; Riku and Sephiroth in amusement. Yuffie smacked his arm and asked what he thought of her and Sora's cheddar biscuits. He glanced at Sephiroth and quietly stated, "And I thought your mother's biscuits were dry."

Yak- Rude had heard about Reno before and the man was very well respected among the others, often receiving top marks for his field work. When Rude had first been told they were to be assigned to work together, it sounded like a good deal. Then he actually met Reno and the image was nothing like what he had heard. He now sat across the table from him and wondered if the redhead would quit yakking long enough for him to even introduce himself.

Ziti- "Riku! Riku! Riku!" Selphie bounced around the older teen excitedly before throwing herself onto him. The momentum actually forced the larger male to fall over, the petite girl lying on top of him. She grinned down and gave him a quick peck on the lips. When Riku quirked an eyebrow at her, she giggled. "Thanks for making that ziti for me. My date totally loved it and thinks I'm an awesome cook now!"
