A/N: Okay guys what's the point of putting the story on alert and not reviewing? Really. And if I don't get any other opinions on pairings then it might turn into an SxC or CxS story here, 'cause that's what I'm hearing right now. And yes there will be different perspectives in this story.
Finding the stranger turned out to be a hell of a lot harder than Zack had thought it should be. Just how many short blond men in black with blue SOLDIER eyes were there? Thing people seemed to remember most was that the guy was pretty. Not the big sword, the old glowing SOLDIER eyes, or the spiky bright blond hair. Nope it was that he was pretty. Showed what guys paid attention to. Some of'em still thought he was a girl.
Some guy called'im prettier than the girls in town. Well, Zack thought he was right (Seph still beat'im but that was 'cause Seph wasn't quite human lookin', bit alien in Zack's opinion. You just couldn't compare the two.) but that was beside the point. It was not helping him find the bastard.
Which annoyed Seph. Never a good idea. Guy was a real grouch when annoyed. Meant life at work was gonna really suck. So he'd better find this guy. Fast. Zack liked not having to proofread. And he was curious damnit. What kinda guy had guts to just walk out like that?
Why Seph wanted to talk to the dude was beyond Zack. Hadn't thought the guy'd offended Seph that much. Might be wrong though, he'd been before…First time he'd met Reno the guy'd been undercover in drag and Zack'd thought he really was a gal.
Usually ended up in embarrassment for Zack and whoever else was involved. Better not try to think too much. Wasn't his strong suit. Usually made an ass out of himself.
But come on where the hell could the guy have gone? Like he just went 'poof' into thin air. Time to call for back up.
That meant the Turks. They found people who were hiding for a living, they could find one guy who was just meandering around, right?
So he's a pretty short blond guy and that's all people remember 'bout him? That's all we've got to go on? No name, nothin'? Reno hadn't been too thrilled with Zack's description. Guy just didn't get it.
No, Reno, he not just pretty short, he's pretty, like prettier than girls pretty. It's the thing everyone remembers 'bout'im.
So we're looking for a pretty boy? Zack, yo, didn't know ya swung that way man-
Reno! Weren't you listening? Guy had the balls to just up an' flat out leave with Seph an' the whole bar paying attention to'im. He's worth knowing man. Bet you'd like him! Dude didn't even look back.
It'd taken some wheedling, cajoling, threatening, an' bribin' but Zack'd eventually gotten the Turks onboard. Zack was very, very grateful to what alcohol did to Reno's disposition. 'Course it also got the guy out of the office so Zack figured he'd done the Turk a favor. Wasn't going to tell the man Seph wanted to talk to the guy too.
Now all he had to do was find the elusive bastard. He hoped this little rat race was entertaining someone. It'd be just his luck if the guy found him first…
