The Silver Elite; the world's largest and most reputable fashion design empire was Sephiroth's main "front operation," as well as his pride and joy...besides his three beautiful sons.
Most people within the man's inner circle was surprised that he would go into fashion at the young age of 17, but as a great mafia leader once said 'you always need to have a good cover.' Although the man owned a "legitimate" weapons company in the public's eye, Sepiroth Valentine was a successful and one of the most sought after businessman and bachelor.
The silver haired man was in an especially good mood, given that it was a Monday.
"Congratulations Mr. Valentine; in just two weeks your newest clothes line will be available to your loyal fans." Reeve, Sephiroth's "legitimate" business partner said at their local board meetings. Reeve Tuesti was and always have been an advocate for public health, higher education, and community development. His saint like morals was the main reason why the man refused to join Avalanche, but joined the Silver Elite as its president.
While absently listening to the business man and his "personal feline assistant" talk about stocks, research, and data; Sephiroth always wanted to know the reason as to why the 30 year-old man was still single. Just last year Reeve created new robotic personal androids called Moogles, because of his love of children.
Just last month Reeve created a robotic cat named Cait Sith, because the man loved cats but was highly allergic to them. Go figure. Nonetheless, Sephiroth smiled at the news; his newest clothes line, the Valentine edition, which took longer to produce than he thought. But all the endless nights of planning and creating new sexy, leathery designs had paid off. He even had time to design a new children's clothing wear for his sons. Which they loved to model in.
So he pretty much had it all at this point: a wonderful family, three healthy energetic, delinquent boys, and even an endless supply of warm bodies that could scratch his itch. An itch, that did not need to be scratched after a horrible one night stand with Rufus Shinra. This brought about another saying that a great mafia leader once said 'never take candy from strangers'.

~Three years ago~
It was a usual Saturday night and the inhabitants of Midgar were roaming about the streets having a good time. Tonight, however, was kind of different for Sephiroth. He was acknowledging the official two month, one week, four days, five hours, five minutes, and three..four..five second anniversary since he rammed his beloved Masamune through his wife-well ex-wife, Jenova.
The silver-haired man sat by himself, drinking in the lonely VIP lounge within the Honey Bee Inn. The newest and most popular night club/ burlesque show in all of Midgar; where the drinks are great, the music is amazing, and the women are as sweet and dangerous as a honey bee.
He was supposed to be "investigating" a new strange drug that has been on the market called Mako, but the damn drug was so elusive. No one knew who supplied it or how to even acquire it. So, Sephiroth said fuck it and just started to drink the night away; abandoning his entire purpose for being at the Honey Bee in the first place.
After drink number five or seven- at this point the man didn't seem to care or count. He was drunk and horny and that's when he heard the sweet voice of the devil.
"Hey do you mind if I joined you?"
Sephiroth looked up from his drink and into the blue eyes of a handsome stranger. It was Rufus Shinra, a pretty boy with serious daddy issues. But at that time Sephiroth was not aware of this important fact.
"Yes, you can." Normally Sephiroth didn't let people get too close to him, especially in bars, but there was something about the blond haired man that seemed to call out to him.
The two men talked and laughed their cares away over another round of drinks. It was then, after a few rounds of shots that Rufus offered Sephiroth a simple green mint. Sephiroth didn't hesitate to accept the candy. He popped the green mint into his mouth. The moment he digested the substance, the man noticed that he felt lighter, like all of his worries just vanished into midair.
Rufus observed the changes and dragged his silver-haired friend onto the dance floor. The gorgeous pair glided to floor which was doused in rainbow strobe lights. The hypnotic sounds caused the silver haired male to move his hips to the alluring sounds.
Soon enough, innocent dancing turned into sensual touching, which then led to stolen kisses by Rufus. A couple of blurred hours later Sephiroth was laying on a soft and comfortable bed within an expansive hotel suite. He did not know why was he partially naked with the hot blond, who was kissing his muscular chest.
"Here, have some more.." Rufus sensually whispered in Sephiroth's ear.
The inebriated male accept another handful of green colored mint from Rufus, which made the man feel energized, powerful, and full of lust. All of his frustrations, anxiety and doubts seemed to just vanish.
The sensual kissing and foreplay quickly heated up into intense love-making. A very zealous Sephiroth mercilessly pounded the receiving hole of the pretty boy beneath him.
After that night of quick, hot passion, Sephiroth began to believe that he had found love again.
It took only two weeks.
Two weeks of kissing, laughing, drinking, and sex before Sephiroth found out about Rufus Shinra. It was two weeks of sweet lies, that when Sephiroth found out the real motives behind Rufus's actions that Sephiroth buried his crushed emotions and swore off flings, dating, and romance. He would focus on being there for his sons and managing his business affairs.
~End of flashback~
...
"And that ends our presentation" The Scottish voice of Cait Sith boomed, awakening Sephiroth from his thought.
"Thank you -" Sephiroth began to speak
Boom.
Before Sephiroth could finish his sentence, the door to the conference room slammed open and a visibly upset Vincent walked into the room. Knowing that some form of mafia talk was going to happen, Reeve bid his boss a farewell and took his cat home to prepare for dinner. Tonight was the night the man used to catch up on his latest TV shows and if he missed another episode of Triple Triad, he was not going to be a happy camper.
After Vincent respectively waited for Reeve and Cait to leave and bid the two a good day, he quickly walked over to where his son sat and handed a blank manila envelope to him. Sephiroth tried to read through the reports on his desk and scowled. The new group, Deep Ground seemed to be causing an uproar in the mafia world. They weren't a major threat, but a minor nuisance that took control of small operations. This was the "interesting" thing his father talked about.
This punk group, Deep Ground, wasn't as threatening like, Hojo and Shinra .As long as these newcomers were smart enough not to try and cause trouble for Avalanche, then Sephiroth could care less. Speaking of his father, the main reason for his scowled expression was due to his father rambling on about Cid. Go figure.
"He's hiding something" Vincent said for the umpteenth time.
"Father you keep saying that but you're not telling me why."
"I can feel it" Vincent said with a bit more dramatic flailing of his arms.
Sephiroth rolled his eyes. You never underestimate "the feelings" of a Turk but when it came to his father's love life, anything was possible. Yet Sephiroth had a feeling that if he didn't console his father, his new Coeurl carpet would be worn down.
Vincent sighed and began to tell his adoptive son about his troubled lover. Since the party, the man would receive numerous call and texts. He refused to go back to work at Rocket Town and even started training with spears again. Sephiroth nodded as he listened to his father's story. The only odd thing about Cid's odd behavior was the fact that the man stopped smoking and started drinking coffee.
"Coffee!?" Sephiroth asked, well stated incredulously.
"Yes coffee, Sephiroth! The man always said that coffee was for pretty boys and for people that just aiming to be fashionable. And that tea was the nectar of the goddess and that real men drink tea!"
"Dad please stop, you're a Turk for Minerva's sake. You can get to the bottom of this no problem."
And with that Vincent let out another deep sigh. He knew that he could have easily hacked into his lover's phone records and email account to track what was going on. However, a relationship is built on trust and love. Plus if Cid ever found out that he had been snooping around, the man would leave him and probably go back to his ex-wife.

It was 9 'o clock at night and Zackary Fair was bored out of his mind. As one of Avalanche's top enforcers he wanted needed a thrill. To hunt, to hear the cries of his victim, and thought of someone screaming for him stop torturing them filled Zack with ecstasy. He was itching for a release.
Normally when Zack was in this mood, he would train some of the newer members of Avalanche but seeing that it was a Saturday night and Angeal and Genesis went on some kind of business meeting, there was no one to keep the energetic puppy at bay. So Zack decided that he would play "hero".
As Avalanche slowly started to gain more territory in the lower sectors of Midgar, Sephiroth had wanted to "clean up the streets" and Zack was more than happy to oblige him. So he took to the streets hoping to find a new toy for the night.
Only a few steps and just like that his prayers were answered. Across the street in in Sector 7, Zack spotted his favorite. A woman beater, but not just any woman beater; The fat slob who mercilessly slapped the helpless and emaciated woman beneath was none other than a pimp for Don Cornea.
It was clear that this pimp worked for Don Cornea since he wore the infamous signature of being overly obese and just plain sloppy looking.
"Zack Fair, Ready for action." The excited puppy gleefully rushed over to the pimp with a sadistic smile on his lips.
Zack approached the man from behind and tapped on his left shoulder. The man turned around. "Who the fuc-"
Before the pimp could finish his sentence, Zack punched the hefty man in the face. The man fell onto the ground. The skinny prostitute got onto her feet and dashed away from the pair.
The pimp was visibly pissed. He got onto his knees and charged Zack.
Another smile appeared on Zack's lips. This is going to be a great toy to play with!
Zack quickly removed a medium sized dagger that was tucked within his utility belt.
As soon as the man ran towards him, Zack simply side stepped the man and held the knife out in his place.
A line of red liquid appeared on the ground above the man. The pimp turned to Zack with a shocked expression on his face as he placed his hands over his wound.
"Come on! I want more blood!" Zack shouted at the man.
"You're fucking crazy!" The hefty pimp dashed away from Zack..well tried to.
The rather athletic Zack caught up to the man and tackled him to the ground.
He sat above to man's back and plowed his knife into the man's vulnerable back.
The man shouted at the top of his lungs. "Yes, scream, you little piggy! Scream!"
The sadistic male continued to relentlessly plow his dagger into the man's back. The scream mixed with pleas, was nothing more than fuel for Zack to continue the bloody onslaught.
The more he stabbed. The more blood shot onto Zack's body.
The puppy removed his dagger from the man the moment his screams silenced. The hyper male sat on top of the man's body, huffing and puffing like he had just finished exercising.
So much blood! So many screams! That was so awesome!
…
It had been one month and two long weeks since his best friend/younger brother arrived at his doorstep with his family and friend. Despite his so called concerned friends' protests, Leon did not mind the extra company. It has be ages since he and Cloud have been around each other. He also was shocked to see how Marlene and Denzel has grown so big since he has last seen him. Tifa had grown too...well in other areas, but most importantly her strength and punches seemed too leveled up.
The time Leon spent with the lively bunch was filled with laughter, which was something that Leon didn't know that he missed.
Leon did take notice and appreciation as to how his guest created a new routine around his house. Cloud would wake-up and make breakfast every morning. Tifa would home school the kids in academics, as well as self-defense. Cloud also assisted Leon at his weapon and airship shop.
Life for Leon and his guest was fine, but it was not all rainbows and sunshine.
Since their arrival, Cloud and Tifa refused to leave the house. Every day was a constant battle with them to leave the confines of Leon's home and at night Leon would try to comfort a sobbing Tifa.
What really alarmed Leon about the situation, were the stories that his two friends told him about Nibelheim. To make matters worse, Cid's ex-wife made her unwanted appearance at his, well his and Cid's workplace multiple times.
Leon tried contacting his business partner, but to no avail. The man did not answer his calls and as the days went by Cloud was getting more and more paranoid.
The young blonde had said that he had wanted to move to Midgar and reach out to man by the name of Reeve Tuesti, who was a very close friend of his late father's. Leon, however, was not so sure about moving to Midgar.
In Leon's opinion, Rocket Town was way safer than Midgar. Leon stood by his original opinion for a while, that was until the recent unwanted appearances and threats made by Scarlett.
Leon wasn't too sure about which place was safer than the other anymore. Plus if his best friends wanted to go to Midgar then he might as well go to and try to drag Cid's lazy ass back home.
After two more weeks of Scarlet's "visits", the group decided to pack up and leave for Midgar.
