Rating: probably not safe for work

Summary: Zack needs to find new motivation to keep up his training. Sephiroth provides.

Zack Fair leaned so far over his desk that he almost fell over before the disapproving mutters from his mentor made him reluctantly sit back on his chair. The blonde trooper was already gone anyway, taking his sweet ass with him and leaving Zack with nothing but boring reports and naughty daydreams.

Angeal shot him a withering glance.

"If you are ever to become First, you need to learn to focus, puppy." The big boned man scowled. "The only reason you are even in this office is because Genesis was called away to Wutai. You should seize this opportunity to prove yourself."

"Besides," said the third resident of the room, who hadn't even bothered to look up from the item lists he was comparing. "If that young man turns you on so much you should just ask him out."

Zack spluttered coffee all over his desk, his face suddenly beet red.

"What?" He managed, staring at the Silver General. "How did you…I mean, how can you…"

Still frowning at his lists, Sephiroth tapped the side of his nose.

"I can smell your erection across the room."

Zack turned, if possible, even redder. Angeal suddenly hid behind his own paperwork.

"You can smell…." Zack whispered.

"It is a side effect of mako treatment. Enhanced smell." The Demon of Wutai shrugged, making a few notes on his list.

"But…but that is awesome!" So sudden it made both First Class Soldiers look up, Zack bounced out of his chair. "I mean, that is just awesome! Hey, could you smell if Cloud got…"

"If he did, it would be very dishonorable of him to tell, puppy." Angeal sighed.

"Oh man, you can smell *everyones* boner?"

"Did you imagine there was something spectacularly unique with yours?" Sephiroth cocked an eyebrow. "Yes, I can smell when anyone gets an erection."

"Women to?"

"Women don't get erections. Instead, when they are aroused they excrete a special…."

"Yes, yes, I know, but…." Standing on Genesis desk, Zack looked like he'd explode with eagerness. "That's like, the most major advantage ever! I mean, you'd always know who to hit on in a club or…"

"Zack, these powers are not to be abused!" Angeal knew he was fighting a losing battle against the youngsters libido but he was damned if he was just going to give up.

"I'm not abusing them if it means I give what's wanted to the once who want it, do I?" Zack said slyly. "Hey, Seph, how long until I can do that?"

"I don't know." Obviously bored with the conversation, Sephiroth turned back to his endless lists. "I assume once you reach status of First."

Zack's purple eyes stared out, into a future of endless easy lays. Angeal could almost see determination building up inside him. The Second Class Soldier jumped down from the desk and straightened his uniform.

"Angeal, sir, permission to proceed to the Training Room at once!"

"Granted," Angeal sighed, watching his protégée run off to his training with a whole new fire burning in his eyes. Frowning he turned to Sephiroth.

"'Smell erections'? What was that nonsense all about?" He demanded.

Sephiroth smiled a little, even as one of his papers fell to the floor.

"You said yourself that he'd made little progress this last month. And you endlessly go on about how important motivation is for the troops. So, I gave him some motivation."

"You made it up." Angeal didn't like it.

Seohiroth just shrugged and got up, bending over to pick up his paper. From the desk next to him he could smell another unmistakable whiff of boner. *Made it up? You keep telling yourself that, Angeal.*
