Dedicated to Chibi Envy Chan, because he's awesome.
Disclaimer: I don't own, you don't sue.
Notes: My father is gone and my boyfriend proposed...Why must these things happen one after another?
Warnings: Shonen-ai, yaoi, whatever the hell you want to call it. Zack/Kadaj. And that special brand of humor I'm famous for.

Tick
Zack stared at the box on his desk with suspicion. He could've swore it just... Nah, couldn't be. Kadaj wouldn't send him something that ticked. But just in case, he checked the tag again.
Tick.
The tag was in Kadaj's handwriting, which was too distinctive to be faked. It informed him that Kadaj had graciously decided to send him a gift in return and that he was not to open it until 2:35 today. Zack decided that Reno must've snuck something into the vents again... Or he was hearing things. Again.
Tick.
He glanced at the clock. Only two minutes left, he couldn't wait to see what the silver-haired one had bought him. It was about time he started to return his affections.
Tick.
Kadaj sure had taken a lot of time wrapping this. From what he could see, there were several layers of paper and tape, keeping him from seeing what was inside. The paper was shiny and silver, obviously borrowed from Cloud, who used the paper for every event that required wrapping something up.
Tick.
Though he usually saw it on food, not on a gift, but it was sweet that Kadaj would go through the trouble of borrowing something from Cloud just to make him happy. It was obvious that Kadaj wouldn't have any wrapping paper, never really having a reason to give a gift.
Tick.
The thought that he might be the first one Kadaj had ever given a gift to made him warm inside.
Tick.
He glanced at the clock. Only thirty seconds left. His fingers twitched, wondering if it would be safe to open it. Knowing Kadaj, he probably rigged it to explode if he messed with it before the appointed time.
Tickaticka.
Zack stared at the present.
TickatickaBOOM!
A flare spell and a face full of aluminum foil.
Kadaj must love him a lot.
