oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
They fly right up your nose...
Flowers.
That was their brilliant plan.
He had been tied up like some sort of cattle, strapped to a chair and locked in his room instead of going to work so his lovely, mildly sane maids could give him a ten point presentation about giving Leon flowers. As if he couldn't have thought of that idea on his own...well...he couldn't. To him the idea was too cliched, over used, and just too damn girly for his liking. But come on..they were flowers for heavens sake. Bright, happy, beautiful smelling flowers that attracted honey sucking bees.
It wasn't that he didn't dislike flowers themselves, it was idea of the bees. He was told he was being paranoid but he refused to acknowledge the accusations. Flowers looked harmless. They really did but he wasn't fooled. Bees were lurking in those plants, just waiting for you to lean down and take a big wiff so they could fly right up your nose.
He wasn't liking it, not one bit.
"I don't like it." See, I said he didn't like it.
"Whats not to like Cloudy?"
"Uuuuhm If you ladies haven't noticed, Leons a guy. You do not give a guy flowers. "
"Is there a rule book that says that some where?"
"Yes. There is. But it holds top secret information about the male population as a whole so its kept hidden from the prying eyes of women every where."
"None of that matters." Yuffie pointed at him with the little pointer she used for their presentation " You will be sending Leon flowers today"
"Hes going to throw them away"
"He will not!" Aeris protested now "I happen to know he's a very romantic person and would probably love some flowers. He helps me in the garden all the time"
"Tch...geh...fiiiine I'll send him bloody flowers! Can I please go to work now?"
"Oh...right..."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Cloud never thought hed be so happy to see his office in his life. After waving to his secretary and closing the door behind him, the CEO immediatley fell to the floor and thanked what ever god was looking out for him that survived the ordeal with his maids.
Crawling to his chair because he was too lazy to pick himself up and walk the small distance, Cloud pulled himself up and sighed. The time it took after being released from his prison to get to the office had made him miss the meeting he forgot to reschedule. His vice president should have been there so he wasn't too worried so he just had to worry about the paperwork and the rest of the days schedule.
He smirked to himself. Too bad his maids couldnt watch him all the time. Just because they said he had to call the flower place and send out the flowers while he was at work didn't mean that he would. They couldn't do anything to enforce their plan if he wasnt at home, he'd just lie and tell them he did.
There was a loud beep and he pressed the button on his intercom.
"Yes Yuna?"
"Mister Fair is here to see you"
"Alright, send him in."
The doors slammed open and he was met with his bright eyed, spikey haired (Yes, spikier then his in a matter of speaking ) vice president. The man didn't really look the part of a business man. His shirt was constantly untucked, he never wore his tie and his jacket looked like he just tossed it on without ironing it. The man threw his arms up and sighed dramatically as he slumped into one of the two spare chairs in the mans office.
"Where the hell were you spike? "
"Locked up in my room by my homocidal maids."
" what?"
"Never mind" Cloud closed the folder he was looking at and stared at Zack "Please tell me you didn't go to the meeting looking like that"
"'I'll have you know that I was wearing my tie and had my shirt tucked in for the meeting today. I was perfectly presentable today"
"Im sure you were. Did I miss anything important?"
"Not really. Nothing I couldnt handle myself. Though there was a complaint that the coffee machine is broken on the third floor."
"Lovely."
Oh, there was one other thing..."
"And that was..? "
There was another beep.
"Yes yuna?"
"Mister Jenova is here."
"Send him in"
"Oh. Well thats the thing. Sephy-poo is rather-"
The doors slammed open a second time but instead of meeting a happy expression like he had with his raven haired friend he was met with Sephiroths all to familiar glare.
"-angry with you..."
The green eyes of the C.E.O of Jenova industries landed on the blond and he seemed to get angrier.
"When one decides not to show up for a meeting they set up one usually calls to inform everyone present. "
"S-sorry Seph, I had something come up that delayed me..."
"Ah yes. " The anger suddenly turned into amusement. "The operation. Have you ordered the flowers yet?"
Cloud blinked. Zack snorted. Sephiroth smirked.
"W-what? flowers? what are you talking about?"
"I was contacted by your maids earlier this morning. I am to ensure that you do what you were told." Sephiroth crossed his arms, eying the man patiently
"Of course they would call you guys" Cloud groaned. Why hadn't he seen this coming. His maids knew that his closest friends out side of the house were Sephiroth and Zack, the three of them having been in school together.
"I think it's about damn time you got around to telling that butler of yours you have the hots for him " Zack grinned. Cloud only narrowed his eyes at Zack, sending him his best 'like you should talk' stare.
"Do I have to do it now?"
"Now Cloud, Or I'll have Zackery follow you around all day while serenading you with his choice of love songs for you to perform for your butler. "
"..."
"Oh I so would"
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Cloud was torn about coming home. He didnt believe Sephiroths threat and proceeded to ignore the warning and continue his paper work. He thought that when Sephiroth finally left to go back to his own company the older man had given up but that wasnt the case. As soon as he stepped out of the office there was Zack, singing the cheesiest love songs the man could think of until Cloud made a mad dash for the nearest phone book so he could look up the flower store number.
He had ordered the flowers to arrive before he got home, letting Zack choose what corny little line was written on the card. He wanted it to be anonymous but Zack countered that leaving it signed 'secret admirer' didnt count as confessing because it didnt have his name on it.
He stepped into the house cautiously, letting the door click shut before tip toeing towards his room.
As he made his way down the hall he spotted the flowers he had sent lying on the floor. He frowned, picking them up in worry. Had Leon not liked the gesture? Was he offended? Maybe he hadn't liked the fact that it was cloud sending him the flowers and stormed off, completely out of character. The longer he stood there looking at the flowers the more he worried.
"Cloud? Is it seven already?"
The blond spun at Aeris voice."Aer! D-did Leon get these?" He asked. She looked at him a little curiously before spotting the flowers. Then she giggled.
"Yes..but it seems Yuffies plan A didnt go as well as she thought it would."
"Oh..so he didnt like them? Was it because they were from me?"
"Oh no, he loved them! He doesnt even know you sent them. I guess the card got left at the store. " She assured "Its just uh..."
She was interrupted by a long session of sneezing and groaning coming from down the hall.
"As it turns out...Leons allergic to bees..."
"Bees? but these are flowers."
"Well yes, but there must have been one in the bundle some where. He went to smell them and it flew out of no where and stung the poor dear."
Cloud blinked and looked down at the flowers in his hands.
Well shit.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
A/N:
So there it is! Plan A is now labelled Mission failure.
suberXxXduperXxXfun machine : your comment, one of the first I read made me giggle. Dont worry, I wont turn Leon all hormonal and girly. Hes a manly man! Manly men arent girly (in my opinion clouds more effeminate anyways.)
And because it wasnt cleared up here either cloud (and Sephiroth) are both CEOs of a business/ logistics company. o3o I think lol.
Now for the request. I need ways for cloud to try and confess to Leon and have him absolutly fail at. We have a few ideas worked out but I wanna hear any suggestions or ideas so I can have this run a little longer then I had planned. If you have an idea just leave it in your comment or send me a pm on here!
As always, ignore my bad grammer and spelling and review. Ill see you all in chapter 3~
