Bonjour! Hey, i don't own Cid or Shera, they belong to SQUARE, shame really...

AN: This is a tres short Cid x Shera. ALl the chapters are below 300 words. I just thought short chapters would be more effective. I think i've got Shera in character but with Cid, i tried to capture the loving side we never really see, so if there's OOC-ness, i'm sorry! Well, hope you enjoy! R & R!

Tea and Flowers

Chapter 1: Tea

'I got the tea bags, Captain' Shera called as she bustled through to the kitchen carrying bags. Cid was sat in his chair with his feet up on the table, he heard the kettle boiling. A minute or so later, Shera came in carrying a tray of tea. Cid took the cigarette out of his mouth scrunched it up on the table and moved his feet. Shera frowned slightly at the burn mark but placed the tray down where Cid's feet had been. She poured tea into two cups and placed one in front of Cid. She went and sat opposite Cid. Cid downed the tea while Shera sipped and read a book that she had brought in.

'Er…thanks' Cid's gruff voice rang through the silence.

'Hmm?' Shera looked up over her glasses.

'Thanks for the tea' He muttered. Shera smiled, 'You're welcome.'
