Title: Holes in the Roof

After Ragnorak and the fall of Cocoon, none of them had really expected to retain any of their l'cie-granted powers. The marks were gone, the world was saved, what more could they want?

Funny question, that.

In retrospect, Snow decided, they really should have checked. Or something.

Now there was a hole in his roof. It wasn't the greatest roof ever, but he'd banged it out himself and was pretty proud that it only leaked in two spots. Now it leaked in three, but the third hole was making it difficult to call it a roof anymore.

It was currently being occupied by what looked to be a snake on steroids and motor oil. If you were kind and squinted sideways it might have vaguely resembled a silver-blue mechanical dragon.

"Serah?" He asked, a little hesitantly. "There's a hole-"

"I know," Serah snapped, apparently a little exasperated. Actually, a lot exasperated.

"Oh, good." Snow muttered, still staring at the snake. "I wanted to be sure."

"I think his name is Leviathan." Serah continued, as if it wasn't a forty-foot mechanical snake poking a hole through their roof.

But she was his wife and had been antsy about something lately and he could heroically muster up enough willpower to continue this conversation as if it weren't straight out of the twilight zone. Plus, Light had – in a very sisterly way – told him that if he made her cry again she'd cut off his balls. He rather liked his balls. Intact, even.

"You can't keep him," he blurted out.

"What?"

"Leviathan. Um. Pet. Snake. Thing." He gestured lamely at it.

"It's not a pet. I didn't find it on the ground somewhere and feed it cookies! It's that… like your naked motorcycle girls."

People had a thing against his Eidolons. Snow hadn't the faintest clue why.

"They weren't naked…" then his brain caught up with the rest of him and he was forced to re-examine Leviathan. "Wait, really? Did you already defeat-"

"No."

"Ah." Snow stared somewhat dubiously at it. No one else's Eidolon came close to matching it in sheer size. Then again, Serah did like them big. He gave one of his patented grins. "Need a hand?"

Serah rolled her eyes and told him to go call Light.

So he charged at it, yelling Banzai-

And when he woke up, twelve hours later, Light added 'acting suicidal' to the list of unacceptable behavior that would get his balls chopped off.

He nodded meekly.

Author's notes: Snow is such a whipped puppy. And someone should write a fic where Dajh and Serah are the only ones to retain their l'Cie powers and go off and save the world. Or tame chocobos and then save the world. Or something.

To Lady Midday and KeyLimeChibi, thanks for reviewing!
