A Haunting in Midgar
A Christmas Story
Cloud wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry out in frustration. He was woken up but the annoying clanging sound of bells jingling. The bells would start to play out into a set pattern but just as the last ting-a-ling should sound, nothing was heard. The blond hero laid there in bed, on his back as the sounds started again, and as the few times before, the last note to complete the tune never sounded out.
"Holy Mother of Sephiroth," the blonde shouted as he sat up in bed, roughly tugging on his spikes. "What is your… w-what the hell, Zack," Cloud screeched as his brain came to a sudden and complete stop, like Fenrir going from sixty to zero in three-point-two seconds flat, before starting up again.
Reno, who was unconscious for the entire bell ringing portion of the morning, finally raised his head off of the pillow when he heard the blonde's normally mid to low pitch voice shrill like Yuffie's tended to do. Opening one bleary eye he looked over at Cloud who was sitting next to him before having to lift his upper body off of the comfortable mattress and turn bodily to see what the blonde was gaping at. The redhead snickered before collapsing back onto the mattress, snaking an arm around the blonde's waist.
Standing in the doorway was the apparition of Zack Fair, a naked Zack Fair whose only body covering was his 1st Class belt that had faux mistletoe and bells tied in the front and the back.
"Wanna ring in the holiday, Cloudy," Zack queried as he saucily shook his hips, causing the bells to ring-a-ling-ling. "You can deck my halls," the raven-haired ghost winked.
"And jingle your bells," Reno couldn't resist adding before getting a slap on his backside.
"C'mon Cloud, kiss me under the mistletoe."
Cloud blushed and frowned at being teased so easily while Reno coughed into his pillow, trying his best to not roll over laughing.
"If Zack bottoms, then that's one way of getting into the Christmas Spirit," Reno howled as Cloud pushed the lanky Turk, who couldn't hold in the hysterics any longer, out of bed.
"Bah humbug to you both," Cloud glared equally at the ghost of his first love and the prone body of his current love before rolling back over in bed.
