This is a 100 one-sentence drabbles surrounding Zack. There is some ZackxTifa, a bit of ZackxAerith, and maybe some hint of other things, if you squint really hard tilt your head to the left hop on one knee and…well anyways. ;) I hope you enjoy reading it, I enjoyed writing it!

Nothing belongs to me, nothing has ever belonged to me, and nothing will ever belong to me. So don't sue me for what I don't own, please. Thank you.


1. Clothes
"Why does it matter what you wear?" I ask as she groans and throws down another rejected shirt.

2. Subtle
I never thought that subtlety was my thing, and I could see that she didn't either.

3. Power
He looked down on me with those disgusted eyes, the will to destroy and the possibility behind them to do just that.

4. Apathy
"But you'll die!" She screamed, and I found myself saying "I don't really care anymore."

5. Ominous
That mako reactor at the top of the hill had a strange dark glow to it, it seemed, and it got to you.

6. Fun
the streamers and crowds seemed to excite her, and I didn't mind that show.

7. Catch
"Tifa," with a toss of my hand I repaid all of her advice with one big wad of cash.

8. Dear
Dear Mom and Dad; things are great, everything's great, but I might not be able to be back for a little while.

9. School
"Watch and learn!" I shouted, and that green-eyed girl learned not to learn from me.

10. Jewelry
For some reason I couldn't stop staring at her pearl earrings, their soft bobbing sound echoing in my eardrums with the rhythm of my heart.

11. Ever
"Do you ever do things the easy way?" I glanced at wavy ginger hair, "Not if I can help it!"

12. Look
it really wasn't my fault that she made it so darn easy to stare at her curves, and I did so almost openly.

13. Hello
"Why hello there, miss Lockhart!" And I got a glare for my troubles.

14. Fighting
I sighed and rubbed my scared knuckles, hoping that no one would recognize that they still hurt.

15. Sleep
She kept breathing in and out, deep and steady in her sleep, and I loved her for it.

16. Costume
I can honestly say that I would've thought that she would've grown out of that ridiculous cowgirl getup, although it was a bit tighter, in certain areas.

17. Obvious
There it was, the plain look of love in the young blonde's face as he stared at the same girl that I had been staring at.

18. Ten
one, two, three… I counted the steps until I got to the top… six, seven, eight… but did I really expect her to be there after ten?

19. Roses
"I'm allergic," She laughed at me as I failed to declare my love for her through yellow roses.

20. Candles
She had never been one for religion, so I smiled when she told me about the candle that was lit at the church for me.

21. Hunger
I didn't even know how much that I wanted her until even my fingers ached for it, as her hair fell out from between them.

22. Jealousy
I wanted more than anything to be her at that moment, to stay in that run-down church and only care about those little yellow flowers.

23. Angel
"Why do people think that anything with wings is an angel?" I muttered to myself, but my only answer from the mako-addicted blonde was the silence.

24. Lips
I licked my cracked lips and pressed them together, preparing myself to fight yet another friend.

25. Death
I didn't know if dying scared me, but I could see in her crimson eyes that it scared her, and that was enough to scare me.

26. Moon
I wondered why I could see the moon that day, it was odd to see it so full and bright during the day; I was thankful for that distraction.

27. Misunderstanding
Angeal didn't understand what really causes rust; it was only when I had no more use for it that it started rusting.

28. Secret
"Zack…" I knew that her curiosity would get the better of her, "How did you do it? How did you not die?" I turned back at her, a twinkle in my eye that told her 'It's a secret'.

29. Tattoo
"You have a tattoo?" I burst out laughing, my ginger-haired friend blushing like a brick.

30. Care
I winced as she forced me into a chair, her firm but cool hands leaving tingling spots as she pressed them to the sides of my face. "You don't look so good."

31. Together
"Why don't you go ahead? I'll catch up later," I suggested, bent over and gasping. "No, I'll wait."

32. Games
The dark-haired turk narrowed his eyes. "Don't play games with me!" and I smiled, "I wouldn't dream of it."

33. Hopeless
"Just give it up, there's no hope for you." And as I thought about that girl passed out on the stairs, I knew that I disagreed.

34. Drunk
My eyes widened in surprise when she told me that in all her years as a bartender she had never gotten drunk even once.

35. Working
"Back to work," I grumbled, but my friend laughed and said in a sing-songy voice, "You call this work?"

36. Standard
"Sorry, you don't meet my standards." My ginger-haired friend winked.

37. Present
She looked slightly confused as I just shrugged and said, "No, I like to just keep myself in the present."

38. Apart
I could've sworn that I was dead, apart from the shard pains and a soft voice calling to me. "Hellooo?"

39. Listen
For some reason that I didn't quite understand, she kept her head buried against my chest, my heart racing.

40. Family
"Do you think that he would've liked me?" She laughed for a long time, her shoulders bobbing. "Not a chance."

41. Fools
She took one look at the two of us fighting and sighed. "Who'd of thought that I'd have so many idiots in my life?"

42. Revenge
It knocked on the door to my heart, spouting all of the reasons why it would be justified, and I was tempted to let it in.

43. Switch
"what the-, why is it so dark? Ow! Shouldn't there be a light switch?"

44. Strawberries
"Want some?" I offered the green-eyed girl, who hesitantly took one. "I've never had one before." She confessed.

45. Fate
I knew that it was final, something that couldn't be changed, but seeing him die scared me to death.

46. Oblivious
How could I not have noticed that it had been four years, not have noticed that instead of 50, I now felt 100?

47. Book
She was like an open book, so easy to read. "I'll tell you one day." 'You'll never find out at all'.

48. ice cream
"No, I don't like ice cream." "Really? Because it seems like something that you'd like," "…It does?"

49. Never
She looked at me, almost like she already knew the answer. "Would you ever stop doing that? Being a SOLIDER? Could you?"

50. Break
I hated when the silence of my thoughts was broken by one of the rookies. "Sir? The Director wants to see you."

51. Reasons
I had been compiling the list of why I loved her for a while now, and I had just gotten number 283.

52. Beauty
Apparently, the only thing that I had going for me were my eyes.

53. Hate
"Is it easier to hate them or pity them?" She asked me of my former bosses. "Both."

54. Thin
She viewed herself in the mirror, sighing a bit. "I was never as skinny as any of the other girls, ever." And I looked at her funny. "You weren't?"

55. Rice
It had always seemed, even as a small child, that rice was the only thing in life that just fine plain and simple.

56. Love
She had run after her father, almost at the cost of her own life, and that showed me what love really looked like.

57. Water
"Zack, for the millionth time, tell me what you want." I shook my head to clear it of the visions of the bartender in front of me. "Uhh…water?"

58. Between
Somewhere in between the bottom and top stair I realized that I was staring at her butt.

59. Second
My life came in second when compared to hers, I decided.

60. Plastic
The Director's smile was one of the fakest things that I had ever seen when he told me not to worry about it.

61. Phone
"Don't you have a phone?" I questioned as I handed him mine. "I did." He corrected me.

62. Truth
"You look good." I tried to encourage her, but she didn't look convinced, seeing as she had been working out all day. "Really."

63. Curiosity
"Don't you ever wonder why it is that they sometimes send one of us with you?" "Not really, no."

64. Dare
I nudged the blonde with a wink. "I dare you to ask her out." "…What are we, in preschool?" was the shy reply.

65. Dancing
The reflection of the fireworks danced in her eyes, and her reflection danced in mine.

66. Anniversary
I was proud of myself for not thinking of her for a whole week, with her amazing smile, and eyes, and hair and- "Well, crap."

67. Confidence
I was pretty sure that it was fairly obvious how fake my confidence was that I could actually do it.

68. Tease
I rolled my eyes at her wink "You're a real tease, you know that?" And she laughed.

69. Apple
"Why on earth did you buy canned apples?" I smiled and placed a dozen canned dumb apples on the counter. "I want you to try one."

70. Healer
For not the first time I wished that I had wanted to become a doctor who put people back together, not a SOLDIER who tore them apart again.

71. Running
As long as I kept running up that hill, hearing the earth beneath me and feeling my breath speed up, I was ok.

72. Stilettos
"No, don't wear those," I commanded as she picked up a black pair of high heels. "Why not?" "Because then you'd be too close to my height!"

73. Count
"Do you keep count of how many drinks that your costumers have?" "Of course."

74. Red
It was amazing how much you could hate a color, and I did as it stuck to my hands and clothes.

75. Girl
"Well, I was just wondering…I mean, you're a girl, and I'm a guy, so I figured…Since you're a girl, after all…Ahem."

76. Bear
And then she pulled me into a huge bear hug, crushing me as she made me promise to come visit.

77. Pregnant
The air was filled to the brim with some sort of black gas, and it made my throat burn.

78. Nickname
"Aha! I figured it out!" "Figured out what?" "A nickname! I'll call you Cissy!" "…No."

79. Up
I wasn't the rain, but if I were, I would've wanted to stay up in the clouds instead of falling so far.

80. Moment
It was always only a single moment or two with her, and I wasn't nearly satisfied.

81. Adventure
"Up for another adventure?" I grinned at my pony-tailed tag along, who just grunted.

82. Surprise
I knocked on her door as many times as I had to until she came out, a frown on her face and her hair messed up."Happy Birthday!" "Why'd you come so early?!" "Cuz I wanted to surprise you the moment that you were born!"

83. Pay
I wasn't fair at all, why would the two of us have to pay for the insanity of another?

84. Passion
She loved fighting, but she hadn't seen enough of it; I hated fighting, and I had seen far too much of it.

85. Distance
I was so thankful that in that moment the hundreds of thousands of miles of land and ocean between us could be shattered with a cell phone.

86. Feeling
Did I really get shot all of those times, because I had lost all feeling after the fifth one.

87. Unique
"Did you know that every snowflake is unique?" The young blonde glanced at me, face red from the cold. "Really?"

88. Fashion
A pink bow that had been meant for a little girl wouldn't have looked better on the queen of Sheba, and she didn't even notice.

89. Extreme
I laughed into the air, punching the gas on the bike and earning a bump on my head, courtesy of my ginger-haired friend.

90. Letter
I couldn't seem to unwrap my hand around that last letter, even though it seemed as if I'd ruin it.

91. Rest
I lay down in the dark, eyes wide open, and I felt something unsettling about that small town.

92. Sir
"Are you a rookie?" "Sir, yes sir!" "Ok, do you know where to report?" "Sir, yes sir!" "…That's gunna have to stop." "Sir, yes sir!"

93. Silent
There was good, bad, and awkward silences, but I hadn't figured out which one this was yet.

94. Legs
I heard a costumer mumble in disappointment about her covering her chest so much, but I didn't mind, I was more of a legs kind of guy, anyway.

95. Trust
"Well, don't you trust me?" "Yes, of course." "Then what is it?" but she gave me silence, and I didn't know if she knew herself.

96. Daydream
Her work on the flowers stopped for a moment as she glanced up, taking in a ray of sunlight with a far-off look in her eyes.

97. Disappointment
Disappointed was hardly even the beginning of what I felt as she winked at my young blonde friend.

98. Crazy
He didn't make any sense at all, and people had died because of this so-called but nonexistent 'genius'.

99. Lie
I was gunna have to lie more than ever to myself to make me think that I could get out of this alive.

100. Life
I still didn't know if I was scared of dying, but I was pretty sure that as long as everyone else lived, as long as her crimson eyes lived, it'd be ok.


Ok, there's my 100 one-sentence drabbles! I hope that you enjoyed them, and thanks for reading it!

ZackxTifa is one of my all time favorite crack couples, and I thought "Why not?" aha ;) And let me tell you, using only one sentence can be very hard!
I didn't like using names in this, I discovered, but I did use a few. I hope that I made it all pretty obvious, but if I didn't, just use your imagination!

Thank you again, please tell me what you thought.
