"I can help you, if you want me to." The Soldier that sat down opposite of Cid in the cafeteria smiled. "The name is Kunsel."
"Do I fucking know ya?" The blonde pilot stared suspiciously at the man opposite him. He'd not been in ShinRa's space program all that long, but one of the first things he'd learned was that nothing was free within ShinRa. "And what makes ya think I need help with somethin'?"
"Well, the way you've been suggestively nibbling on that carrot for the last thirty minutes whiles staring at the…buffet… in here was kind of a giveaway." Kunsel's smile grew broader whiles the young pilot blushed.
"Yeah, well," he muttered embarrassed. "I can't help bein' gay and it's not like ya can do anything about it anyway."
"Oh no, you misunderstand me. I meant I could help getting you fixed up, if you want to. Seems like you'd need it."
"Oh yeah? And what would ya want in exchange few such a favor?"
"Not much." Kunsel sat back, watching the pilot. "Someday I might come and ask you for a favor, that's all. Something I need help with."
"Are ya a Turk?" the blonde asked even more suspiciously.
"Nope, just a Second Class Soldier with…ambitions. So what do you say, Mr. Highwind?"
"I say I guess I shouldn't be surprised ya know my name, should I? Call me Cid, by the way. And this 'favor' of yers better not be something like my first born child or sabotaging the Space Program."
"Of course not. I was thinking more like a free trip to Costa del Sol with your airship for me and a friend. Something like that. I figure knowing a man who captains an airship can never be wrong."
"Huh. Yer sure yer not a Turk?"
"Positive. My paycheck is not that high, alas. So what do you say?"
Cid played thoughtfully with his food, but nodded.
"A'right. So who do ya have in mind?"
"Let's see…how about Angeal?"
"Are ya out of yer fucking mind? A First Class Solder? They're good wanking material, but they're way out of my league!" Cid stared shocked.
"You are selling yourself too short, Cid. You are a very good looking man, in your own rough way. Come on, this is your chance! You might as well use my favor as much as you can, right?" Kunsel laughed.
Pulling his hands through his hair, Cid tried to collect his thoughts.
"Um…well, no, then. He's handsome alright, but he ain't my type. I like 'em prettier."
"Opposites attracts, hm? Alright, how about that trooper over there? Name's Cloud."
Cid snorted and shook his head.
"Jailbait."
"He's old enough to be issues a machine gun and kill people, I think he's old enough to date." Kunsel rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, well, he's too young fer me. I'd feel like a pervert. I want someone who I can talk to."
"At least we're narrowing down your preferences – pretty, but mature." Kunsel snapped his fingers. "I got it! Genesis!"
"The red-head?" Cid glanced over at the First Class Soldiers' table. "Sure, if ya can fix that up…"
"Trust me." Kunsel smiled.
