Cloud was feeding Sephiroth some home made mashed potatoes. Once Tifa and Cloud learned that Sephiroth could eat solid foods, Cloud went out to buy some baby food. Cloud took one look at the price and decided it would be cheaper to make it at home. I mean really! Its 10 dollars a bottle! Cloud was making funny faces, trying to get Sephiroth to laugh, but Sephiroth just thought him crazy and continued to eat.

It was in that moment that Reno and Rude walked into the bar. "Yo!" Reno shouted.

"Hello Reno. Hello Rude." Cloud said.

"Hello Cloud. Beer?" Rude asked. He had a long day and really needed something to relax. It was in that moment that Seph had noticed the pair.

Cloud picked Seph up, "Could you hold him while I get it?"

Reno took Sephiroth, "Sure." A huge smile spread across Sephiroth's face. It had been awhile since they had come by. Sephiroth knew that it was probably because they had missions, but still it almost seemed as if they had been avoiding him.

Cloud left to go get them their beer while Reno and Rude took their seats at the bar. Reno set Sephiroth on his lap, "Hey Sephy buddy!"

Sephiroth reached up to play with Reno's hair. Sephiroth had always thought his hair, even though it was dyed, was beautiful. It was obvious that he took care of it. "You like my hair huh? Maybe someday you'll copy my style, yo!"

Not a chance. Sephiroth thought as he shoved his hand in his mouth. It felt nice to chew on. He didn't have teeth so it didn't hurt his hand and it almost felt like he was massaging his gums. Reno, seeing Sephiroth just shove his fist into his mouth, couldn't hold back the laughter that bubbled up.

Cloud came out with theirs beers, "Having fun with Sephy?" Reno smiled and nodded as he received his drink.

"Thank you Cloud." Rude responded before taking a swig. Sephiroth stared at the bottle. How long had it been since he had a beer? Too long. He reached out to the bottle but no one seemed to notice.

Reno grabbed the other beer and took a drink. He set the beer down on the bar. Sephiroth reached towards Reno's beer. "Uh!"

"No, no Sephy. That's not for you. I'll go get your bottle." Cloud said and made his way towards the kitchen. Reno on the other hand looked from Sephiroth to the beer several times. That's when something clicked in Reno's head.

"Hey, Cloud! Has Sephy said his first words yet?" Reno shouted since Cloud was still in the kitchen.

"No, why?" Cloud asked as he prepared a bottle for Seph.

"Just wondering." Reno got that look in his eyes. That look that meant he was up to no good.

"Reno, I know that look. What are you thinking?" Rude asked as he looked at his friend. Sometimes the fiery red head really scared him.

"Shhh! Don't say anything!" Reno turned his attention to Seph, "Hey Sephy, you wanna taste that?" Reno said pointing to the beer on the counter. Rude kept his mouth shut and just watched. Sephiroth smiled up at Reno trying to convey his want for the alcoholic substance.

Reno, being the person that he is, forgot that babies should be able to understand what he was saying. "I'll make you a deal, if you can learn to say my name then I'll let you have a drink." Ha! Now his first word will be my name and not 'mama' or 'dada'!

Rude shook his head at his friend's stupidity, "Reno, he can't underst-"

"Weno! Weno!" Sephiroth shouted happily. That was too easy. He thought. He had been able to speak for a week now. There just wasn't any point for him to speak and he really didn't like the fact that he couldn't really pronounce some sounds.

Reno started beaming, "Did you hear that Cloud?"

Cloud just walked into the room, "Hear what?" he was carrying Sephiroth's bottle in one hand and a beer for himself in the other.

"Sephy just said his first words! Come on Seph, say it again!" Cloud stared at Sephiroth with wide eyes.

Sephiroth just continued to stare at Reno's beer. What about our deal? Beer for talking! I talked now where's my beer?

"Come on, say it again for daddy!" Sephiroth ignored Reno and tried reaching for his beer and made a grunting noise. "Okay, okay." Reno picked up his beer and went to give it to Seph.

"Reno!" Rude said with a glare as Cloud set his beer down and snatched Seph up.

Handing the bottle to Seph, Cloud smacked the back of Reno's head. "What kind of idiot gives alcohol to a baby?" Cloud tried to get Sephiroth to drink from his bottle.

Sephiroth was internally crushed. He had been lied to! Sephiroth started to cry. We made a deal! I want my beer damn it!

A/N: Thank you to my wonderful friend who helped me out with this! You are just pure amazing! Thank you to everyone who has alerted and reviewed! I have an important question for you! So, I've been thinking since...chapter 2 now that I really would like to make this and eventual Vincent/Sephiroth fic but I don't know how you, the readers, would feel about this...Please review about your thoughts on this matter. If no one reviews about it I'm just going to go for it and make it a VinSeph fic! I'll let you guys know hopefully by the next chapter or two what my decision is!
