It was a great day for Zack. He was able to get off early from his delivery work. Most of his co-workers envied him for being buddy-all-buddy with their boss, Angeal. Now for the remaining time, Zack has other plans and that was for him to spend a nice quality time with his favorite of a blonde.

"Cloud Strife, come out!" Zack said merrily as he knocked his fist on the door, "This is the police. We are claiming you back to your owner, Zack Fair!"

Zack was about to give another knock but was stopped when the door opened ajar. Instead of the said person before him, it was a much smaller version of his 'friend'.

"Do you mind getting off our porch?" Zack recognized him as Roxas, Cloud's little brother. The kid held a deep sour look on him.

Zack wasn't that really close to Roxas since there being a huge age gap and other social issues between them which is why he spent most of his time with the older sibling.

Being with Cloud for almost like three years, Zack was able to tell how much the two were related. Both were almost identical; having the same eye color and hair style minus the hair color; Cloud's being light while Roxas' being dark. Including their attitude, well sort of.

Zack uttered a small friendly wave, "Uh, hey Roxy!" Annoying twitch appeared. "I came over to see if Cloud's free today."

"He can't. He's sick." Roxas emphasized the last sentence clearly. He was about to close the door but a dark boot prevented him from doing so.

"Wai- What? Cloud's sick?" Zack tried to gain his entry with Roxas pushing him back with all his little body might.

"Roxas, what's going on here?"

Both stopped. Zack spotted Cloud standing before them, in a blue bathrobe with a mug of coffee in hand.

"Cloud!"

"Zack? What're you-" The two older boys were now on the floor. Zack gave Cloud a tackle hug. One of Zack's specialties.

Roxas stared at the scene with disgust, "I'll be in my room."

"Zack, for the last time…I can't go with you. Didn't Roxas told you that I'm…I…" Cloud covered his nose with the tissue he held, heaving out an earsplitting sneeze. "Shick." He sniffed.

"Aw, but Cloud today's the only day I get a free time. We were supposed to go out on a date and…I got us these two tickets to the carnival. Can't you spare some change?" Cue Zack's puppy dog look.

"Shorry, Zhack." Cloud replied with his nose tissue-covered, "Even if I don't want to, I can't really come."

The man before him placed a finger under his chin, "Hm, then how about I stay here and take care of you?"

"Ah, that won't be necessary." Cloud blew in a tissue and threw it in a pile of used tissues, "I don't want you catching some of my coldsh." Zack's face saddened. Cloud sighed, "Look, I know you've been looking forward to this 'date' of ours but…"

"Yeah, it's alright Cloud. We can go somewhere else at some other time."

Cloud felt sorry seeing Zack's look. The black-haired man really did wanna go with him at the carnival. It must have taken him weeks or months to grab those two passes. Suddenly, an idea struck the older Strife.

"Well, if shou want…"

Tilting his head from the side, Zack questioned, "Shoe?"

"I meant, shou." Cloud pointed his finger at Zack, "You can go…but instead of me, Roxas can take my place."

"Wha?" Zack uttered out in disbelief, "But Cloud…" He neared his face to the blonde, "I'm not even close with the kid. He's someone I can't deal with…being all quiet, unsocial-like and-"

Cloud raised an eye at him.

"Oh right…" He didn't notice that he was also referring to the one beside him. Zack scratched his hair, a habit of his when he's left in an awkward or embarrassing situation. "Alright alright, I'll babysit him for you but when we get back, I expect another date in payback."

With a nod, a small smile came upon Cloud's face.

A/N: And finished…NOT. Well, I'd say this might turn out into a short one-shot. Tell me what ya think but please not-so harsh and thanks for reading! Reviews means lots a puppy Zack love!
