It
was the night before Christmas. A silver-haired young man was
sitting at living room of old Shin-Ra Mansion, stared at the window.
He checked his cell phone briefly, then looked out of the window
again. Snow was falling on this misty village, Nibelheim.
He
wondered why he chose this place. Because it's remote? Or because
it's his birthplace, where everything started? Whatever the reason
was, he needed a place to spend time with his friends. Yes,
friends. Without any interference.
Some
minutes after, with sound of opening front door, someone stepped in.
"Hello, anyone here?" So familiar voice. "Sephiroth?"
The silver-haired man chuckled, as he stood up. He opened living
room door. Two people, one had auburn hair, clad in red jacket and
black shirt, another had black hair, looked somewhat older than the
others – though he's about same age as them – entered.
"You arrived earlier than I thought." He said, slightly
smirking. His two guests smiled back.
Sephiroth noticed the
black-haired guy was carrying something big, and he treated it
carefully as if it is something fragile. Instead of lowering this
large box on the table, he asked: "Where is kitchen? I need to
decorate this... thing."
"Hmm....... there?"
Sephiroth pointed a corner. The black-haired man murmured 'Thanks'
to him, then headed to kitchen.
The
auburn-haired man, Genesis, was placing wine bottles and glassed on
the table, and Sephiroth was doing decorations on Christmas Tree at
the corner. The tree was set a week ago, but he put decorating off
until this day. The black-haired man, Angeal, seemed doing something
in kitchen, but they had no idea.
When they almost finished
their work, they could hear sound of opening front door.
"Hey,
Cloud! Why so shy? Come on!" A cheerful looking raven-haired
SOLDIER entered manor hall, dragging a blond boy with him.
"But, Zack....... I'm not even a......." The boy replied,
stuttering, with reddened face.
"What are you saying, Cloud?
He said I can take you here!" Zack exclaimed, dragging
Cloud into the living room.
Minutes later...
"Here's
a cake!" A large cake, topped with various fruits, including
sliced Banora White Apple was on the table. Everyone stared at the
cake, eyes opened wide.
"So you carried this along with you?"
Sephiroth looked a bit surprised.
"Of course. I made it with
my mother for this day." Said Angeal.
"Okay, who will cut
this thing?" It was Zack. Cloud was sitting at his side shyly,
without any word.
"Of course, you know...... Hero of the
dawn, Healer of worlds.." Genesis pointed his silver-haired
friend, smirking.
Cake,
wine, presents, singing.....
This year, he could spend this day
with his friends. He smiled, looking at them.
Outside
of the manor, a lone figure, definitely woman in late 20s, was
watching them. Her lips slightly curved, formed a smile.
"Even
if it's a brief dream, I hope you enjoy this moment. Merry
Christmas, sir." She said, fixing her gaze to certain
silver-haired general.
