Story name: More Than Just Friends
Fandom: FFVII(Crisis Core)
Pairings: ZackXOC, and perhaps one other, I'm not telling though ;)
Summary:Hoshi and Zack have been friends since they were young. After Zack left for SOLIDER, they thought they were separated forever. But, through a twist of fate, the two are reunited. Happy to see each other, they thought things could go back to the way the were when they were young. But for childhood friends feeling can get... confusing.. set during Crisis Core, though some parts take place before.
A/N:
After much procrastination, chapter one of my fanfiction is complete!
I think part of the reason I wrote this was, once upon a time, I was playing Crisis Core, and I was at the point where Tifa messages you asking "Are there any blonds in SOLIDER?" or something like that. Then I was thinking about TifaXCloud then I was thinking, "What if it was like that with Zack? What if he had a childhood friend?" So then I got to work on this, wrote the first three and a half chapters, threw out chapters 3 and 4 cuz they sucked(XD) Then procrastinated on typing it, and finally, typed the first chapter.
Well, this is my first FFVII fic(I know I already have one but: A) that one is crazy B) As I said before, I started this one on paper a long time ago. This is also my first not-stupid fic in... awhile! XD IDK how long.
I am currently working on a drawing of my OC because I'm not good at descriptions.
I dunno if this title will work well, I might need a better title. Help me, please?
Well, without further ado, I present to you, More Than Just friends, chapter one!
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII any of the characters, blah blah blah...
ENOUGH RAMBLING ALREADY!
*Hoshi's PoV*
Back when I was little-and I mean really little, as in, six years old-I was the shyest person I knew. The shyest person alive, perhaps. I never talked or played with any of the other kids in Gongaga, I just sat outside quietly, watching them laugh and play together. I didn't think any of them would ever notice me, but one particular boy did, and, it surprises me to say so but I'm actually glad he did.
But… I'm moving too fast. I mean, you don't even know who I am, do you? My name is Hoshi Kimura. My father died a month before I was born, so I've been raised by just my mom my whole entire life. My mom's always been sort of protective of me, and treated me like a cute little girl, putting me in dresses and ribbons and all that crap. I always hate girly things like dresses.
When I was 6, my black hair reached down to my waist, and my green eyes always seemed lost in thought, even if I was talking with my mom, who was the only person I ever talked to. I remember that particular day it was slightly windy, and my hair would constantly get in my face and my green dress threatened to fly up, revealing my underwear to the nearby children (although, at the moment no one was outside) "I don't like the wind." I mumbled, crossing my arms across my chest. That's when a boy's loud shouts scared me half to death. "Die, monsters!" he shouted. I looked up to see a boy jumping around, fighting invisible monsters with a stick. "You will not win, you never have!" he said. The boy had spikey black hair, and seemed to be around my age. He was wearing a white t shirt and blue jeans. I watched him jump around, shouting things such as, "You smelly monsters won't hurt anyone!" or, "Give up, I am the best fighter alive!"
It felt like I was watching him for hours, and I was actually enjoying it. He made me laugh sometimes. The way he thought he was really beating monsters to a pulp. I thought watching him would be perfectly fine, that he would catch me at all. But apparently I laughed a little too hard. He turned around and looked at me. I made a small squeaking noise and looked down. "Are you okay?" he asked. "The monsters aren't hurting you, are they?" I paused. Say something! I thought. "Uh, no." I said. "And if they do attack me, I'll kill them." The boy looked surprised. "You? But, you're just a girl. A girl in a dress!" Okay, now that was not cool. I got upset and picked up a stick, pouting. "Oh yeah? Well, watch this!" I slashed at the air with one big swing. "I beat that monster easy." I said, sticking out my lounge. The boy smiled. "Look out girl, there's one behind you!" I turned around to see him slash at the air about 10 feet behind me. "I killed him for you." He said. I laughed as we continued to pretend to fight all the monsters attacking our home.
We spent the next long while slashing away at invisible monsters, laughing the whole time. We stopped when our moms called me in for lunch. ("Hoshi! You're a mess! What have you been doing?" "Fighting monsters, mommy. Me n' my new friend-""My new friend and I" "My new friend and I are protecting everyone from the monsters!" "Well, it's good to see you made a new friend! What's her name?" "My friend is a he mommy. And I don't know his name yet.") But as soon we were both outside again, it was back to beating up monsters. After a while, we got tired and plopped down next to each other in the grass. "The monsters are running away!" I shouted. The boy cheered. "We did it!" he said. I laughed. We paused, looked at each other, and laughed more. Then I heard a shout from my mom. "Hoshi! Come one in for dinner!" I sighed "Well, bye friend," I sighed. The boy smiled. "Zack. My name's Zack Fair! I am 7 years old!" I smiled. "I'm Hoshi Kimura. I'm six!" I said. I was about to run inside, but I stopped in turned around. "Hey Zack?"
"Yeah?"
"Is this what…. Fun feels like?"
"I dunno. I mean, I guess it is."
I ran back to Zack and hugged him "Thanks Zack." I said. "Thanks for teaching me fun." I said. Before either of us could say another word, my mom shouted again. "Hoshi! Dinner! Now!" I laughed. "I don't want my mom to be mad," I said. "I better go. Goodbye Zack!"
That night, all I talked about was Zack. "And then, Zack was about to get hit by a huge monster, but I saved him…. Then, finally, all the monsters ran away and we were heroes!" My mom laughed. Well I think this hero needs her rest," she said. "Aw, do I have to?"
"You don't want to be tired when you fight monsters, do you?"
"No. But just 5 more minutes! There are some things I forgot to tell you!"
"You can tell me in the morning." Already, I was being carried to my bedroom, changed into pajamas and tucked in. "Good night, my little angel." My mom said. She left the room and began to close my door. "I don't want it cracked today mommy," I said. "That's my big, brave girl." And with that, the door shut completely.
I must've been lying in bed for all of about 2 minutes when I jumped down from my bed, unable to sleep. I smoothed out my blue nightgown with the little chocobo pattern on it and walked towards the window. I looked out my small window and at the night sky. "Tomorrow," I whispered, "more monsters will come here, I know it. But the great heroes, Zack and Hoshi will take care of them." Finally, I shuffled to bed, and fell asleep, dreaming of Zack and I, grown up, fighting real monsters, protecting each other and everyone who needed protection. It had to be one of the best dreams I had at that age.
A/N
So what do you think? Chapter 2 will be in Zack's PoV, 3 in Hoshi's, and so on and so forth, though occasionally the order might change.
A little on the short side, I know, but the chapters will get longer! Don't worry!
Anyways, reviews equal updates! And I except constructive criticism, but I hate flames! It's not perfect, I know, but I think it's pretty good for my first time in awhile doing something not-stupid. Although some characters are slightly... not smart...
Hoshi: Hey! Zack is perfectly smart!
Zack: Yeah!
Me: I'm teasing! Jeez!
Anyways, until next time,
sayonara!
