„He's gorgeous," Cloud sighed, watching Sephiroth go by.

„And his hair," Reno agreed. „I didn't even know it was possible to have hair like that."

„I wonder if that's his natural colour?" Cloud mused.

„Needs to be. There's nothing else to see, not even close to his scalp, ever."

„He has white eyebrows," Cloud continued the thought, squinting at said eyebrows as Sephiroth came back, walking in the other direction.

„They could be dyed as well," Reno said doubtingly.

„Bleached, if at all. I don't think you can dye a colour like that."

„Wouldn't bleaching damage the hair? Look at his. It looks awesome. Completely healthy and shiny and silky…" he trailed off, staring dreamily at the shimmering mass of Sephiroth's hair.

„But… did you ever hear of anybody being naturally white haired?"

Once again Sephiroth crossed their path, casting an annoyed glance towards them.

„Well, he's genetically altered, it might not be his natural-natural colour, just the natural one…" Reno grinned stupidly at his own wordplay.

Cloud shrugged, gaze fixed on Sephiroth, going back and forth on whatever task he was completing just now. „There were some strange bottles in Reeve's waste bin in his lab when I went to him the other day. They looked pretty much like hair bleach. And Sephiroth left just before me. And his hair looked pretty rumpled."

„So, what you're saying is that you think Reeve helped Sephiroth bleach his hair?" Reno did not seem terribly convinced, considering his expression.

Cloud nodded slowly, staring at Sephiroth who had suddenly changed direction and was heading directly towards them. „What does he-"

He wasn't able to say anything more as Sephiroth stopped in front of them, hands working on loosening his belt. Both Reno and Cloud just stared, eyes impossibly wide, as he suddenly dropped his pants in front of them, giving them a full display of anything that was beneath them.

Cloud and Reno stared.

„Does that answer your question?" Sephiroth asked dryly.

They nodded in stupefied unison, still just staring as he got his pants up again and fastened his belt. „Good. Then you can finally stop talking about that. You did that for weeks." He turned around and left them alone, retreating with long strides.

„It's natural," Cloud could just say, eyes still wide in shock and amazement.

Reno only nodded. Then, after a while, his gaze slowly travelled to Cloud, looking at him. „But… if he does not bleach his hair… What did he do with Reeve alone in his lab?"
