Limping, Cloud walked into the warehouse where he's currently worked at for the past 3 years. He marched straight to the heaven machine and poured himself a large cup of the black liquid. The strong scent made him immobile for a few moments, as he just smelled the dark water. It seemed to wash away all the troubles that populated his mind and all the pain that his stupid ass boyfriend caused him. With a smiling face, Cloud turned to faced the world which caused him to move his legs which caused him to move his bum which caused a whole lot of suffering. He followed his routine path to a short table that his best friends were chatting happily away at.
Aerith noticed him first and put on her usually bright smile that can light up a room. She was his best friend. They have known each other all of their childhood and even at one time lived together, though not in a romantic way. Sure she was pretty with her long brown hair and big brown innocent eyes, she even had a nice curvy body, but she was more like a sister. Then comes Yuffie, a sly devil that's always up to something. It was hard to get used to at the beginning with her loud mouth and childish attitude, but then she grew on him like a fungus. She was close to the exacted opposite of Aerith. She had short black hair and an equally short figure with not too many curves. Her dark black eyes always had a glint of evil like she has a special trick up her sleeve too. Cloud himself thought of his self as attractive with his blond gravity defining spiked hair that grew in all different directions and his sky blue eyes. He was tall, but he had some muscular appearance to himself.
Cloud grimaced as he sat down on the hard wood benches, the sweet caring voice of Aerith entered his brain, "Did you have a tough night?"
Nodding, he replied, "I'm going kill who ever thought up bondage sex toys. My boyfriend for some weird reason thought that they were the greatest things ever created last night."
Yuffie laughed which earned her a glare from the now sulking blonde, "You should just dump the weirdo. All he brings is trouble." Aerith nodded with what the black haired girl suggested, knowing full well that the relationship that Cloud was in wouldn't end well anyways.
"I will as soon as I get the chance, but there hasn't been a good time lately." Cloud avoided eye contact, feeling uncomfortable suddenly. Yuffie and Aerith shared a look that made Cloud want to run away from them.
"But I love you Leon!" A whiney voice echoed all in the warehouse, causing several people to hold their ears in pain. An enraged man with longish dark brown hair stomped his way to where the three of them stared in horror as a fluffy pink ball followed him like a puppy, whining the whole time. Leon grabbed the coffee pot, making Cloud's eyes go wide in horror and worry like a mother protecting her newborn child.
"If you keep whining to me and coming around here, I'm going to pour this coffee on your pink boa!" Leon looked plain evil as he growled out the threat. He had the pot over the shorter pink man's head and was frowning so much his face might actually get stuck like that. Scary The pink ball squeaked and ran away which resulted in Leon finally put down the coffee pot much to Cloud's relief. Leon sighed and sat down with them.
Leon was another employee that worked with them, but he worked in another section of the warehouse, which caused them to not be as good as friends that they could be. Yuffie has known Leon since they were children it seems, but they don't talk about their past much and nobody pushes their way into their past.
"He won't leave me alone!" Leon looked tired and angry which made all of them feel sorry for him. Cloud was about to say something, but their boss, Cid, yelled something about them being lazy and they need to get to work. They split up with Cloud and Leon going in different directions and Aerith and Yuffie walked together towards the phones. Yuffie glanced over at Aerith about ten times before Aerith finally sighed and asked what was going on with Yuffie.
"Do you remember how back in high school, people would set their friends up together and make them go on dates?" Yuffie questioned nonchalantly, but Aerith could tell she was dying to tell her something.
"Yeah." Aerith said slowly, trying to annoy her friend with her slowness to answer.
"Well lets do what we did in high school." Yuffie bit her lip, trying to hide her grin that was breaking across her face. Though Aerith was smart she didn't follow what Yuffie was saying and her face clearly showed that. "Let's set up Cloud and Leon!" Yuffie popped out, earning her a shocked expression from the brown haired girl.
"What?" Aerith questioned, "Why would those two want to get together?"
Yuffie stared at her like she was insane, "Cause it will be perfect. Leon needs somebody that is at least sane, and Cloud needs somebody that isn't into bondage." Yuffie finished the sentence with a small giggle and a large grin.
"Well I guess..." The brown haired girl was unsure, but she decided after all the bad relationships that Cloud was in, he did need somebody like Leon. He needs a guy that doesn't immediately want to get him into bed; somebody that will get to know him before he even kisses him on the mouth.
Yuffie grinned with all 32 teeth right then, her tricky mind already starting to form a plan. "Will you help me? Please!" Yuffie used her best puppy dog expression until Aerith agreed.
"Ok then let's start Operation LxC tomorrow at 8am! As soon as work starts!" Yuffie looks so proud of herself than Aerith didn't have the heart to tell her work starts at 7.
