FFVII 100 word Theme Challenge Shorts of 100 words

Randomness that I had floating around my computer for a little while and I thought, what the hell, lets post these little things in bite size pieces. These are unbetaed and range the whole series. Each story is ~100 words and I struggled to get each little tidbit in that range.

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters. SquareEnix is the owners; I am just using them for my own amusement, and hopefully yours as well. I do not profit from this tale in any way.

1. Freedom

Characters: Cloud and Zack
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
Setting: Crisis Coreish

"The price of Freedom is steep," Zack said and ruffled the bright yellow hair of his best friend.

He had to take this chance to save Cloud and hopefully himself. He prayed that he was strong enough to face this battle to give at least Cloud that chance to have a free future.

He could do that for Cloud. He stood up, squared his shoulders, looked down at Cloud and resisted the urge to ruffle the hair again. Before he changed his min, he turned his back on his friend and went to face the army.

4. Blood

Characters: Lucrecia
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
Setting: Dirgeish

There was a reason she wore red shoes. People called them impractical and unsafe for a laboratory environment. No matter how many times she told anyone that they were comfortable they did not believe her.

She always scoffed at them when they said that they didn't match her outfit.

She didn't pick the red colour because it matched her skirt or blouse. She wore the red shoes because they would not show the blood that she walked through and the red leather was easy to clean … except for days like these when the blood was so thick that it would go over her toes.

7. Family

Characters: Cloud
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
Setting: Pre Game

They always teased him because he didn't have a father. They called him bastard and son-of-a-bitch and all sorts of names, just because he only had a mother.

It used to bother him because it wasn't his or his mother's fault that his dad left. He knew that mom missed him because she would still cry sometimes at night and stare at a picture that she kept hidden in her bottom drawer.

But he didn't cry anymore. He didn't need a dad, the ones that were around here were assholes. He had all the family he needed with his mother.

40. Puppet

Characters: Cloud and Sephiroth
Genre: Angst
Rating: T
Setting: Game

He didn't want too. He didn't want to hand it to him. He tried to fight the urge to follow his orders but he felt himself being pulled, felt his voice wash over him. It tugged every fibre of his being.

His voice … calmed him. He gripped the small black ball in his hand. He knew he was disappointing everyone around him. He knew he was letting them all down as he could hear them yelling at him.

But only his voice matter as their fingers touched.

"That's a good puppet."

80. Mirror

Characters: Cloud
Genre: Humour
Rating: Teen
Setting: Gameish

Cloud looked at himself in the mirror and examined how the cloth clung to his frame. He turned left and right and frowned when he realized that the undergarments that he had acquired gave him curves.

Curves that he shouldn't have.

He adjusted the wig and made sure his hair was tucked underneath it and well hidden, even though the colour was very similar to his own.

A knock at the door startled him. "Open up and let me see," came an excited voice.

He gave himself one last look in the mirror, puffed out his already over inflated chest and whispered, "For Tifa."
