Author's Note

Sorry this one's so short. The next chapter should be longer. (Hopefully) XD


Zack sighed, heaving himself up the stairs to their bedroom as he shed his coat and scarf. Cloud had already beaten him there, his coat and scarf hung neatly in his half of the closet. His hat and such was folded and stacked on the shelf above it. "Neat freak," Zack muttered, putting his own things with the rest. He had to say though, working there had been good for them. Their work was fairly easy, but still required some manual effort. It suited them perfectly. The cold was nice too, seeing as their body temperatures were higher due to the mako within them.

"How'd it go?" Cloud asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Fine. They needed me to help some kid who got stuck on the lifts."

"Again?"

"Mhm," he answered, pulling the blonde toward him.

Cloud smiled and wrapped his arms around his companion's waist. "Well, I'm glad they didn't work you too hard."

Zack chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "And why is that?"

Cloud just smiled, shutting the door with his heel. "Guess you'll just have to wait and see, huh?"


"Zack?" Cloud asked later that night as they laid in bed, looking up at his partner.

"Hm?"

"Could we go back?"

"Sure. When do you want to go?"

"Soon. Before the rush hits."

Zack smiled, nodding.

"I'll call Tifa in the morning."
