A/N: Oi, Minna-san, I am terribly sorry! I have no idea what to say!

Hells, what can I say? Twig-sama herself (yes, Twig is a girl, I thought she was a he too.) gave me permission that once I get this thing done that I can cross it over to A Long, Hard Road.

I am pathic, aren't I?

But no worries, or less of them at least, I seem to have hit Inspiration Town, or at least Can-Write-Even-If-Not-Utterly-Banged-Over-Head-By-Mutant-Plot-Bunny Town

Anyways, ONAWARDS!



Dead Silence.

*CRACK!*

Sephiroth wasn't aware that he could 'hit like a girl.' Who knew that he could be so limp wrested. Though a girl hitting you was something to be feared, they used their nails, and knees.

Which Sephiroth was tempted to do right now.

"GET OUT! GET OUT NOW!"

Masamune was in his hand, sweeping a plane of death at just below waist height in front of him.

Zack of course was madly dancing backwards to avoid loosing parts of his anatomy that he was perhaps overly fond of.

He tried to apologize, unfortunately he couldn't be heard over the vocal expletives that Sephiroth uttered and it looked like his walls would have to be repainted as they were peeling.

Zack jumped back hands behind him, opened the door and jumped back again, falling on his ass.

This was in the end a good thing, as Seph had just picked up a vase and hurtled it out his head just was.

Zack kicked the door closed and leapt up to brace it with his body so it would stay that way.

Zack's mind tried to forget the tears that he saw in Sephiroth's eyes, not just for guilt's sake, but for sanity's sake as well.

There was pounding and the sound of the doorknob being tried futilely.

"GO AWAY AND LET ME OUT NOW!"

"No! Not until you calm down! I'll sleep out here if I have too!"

A scream, nay, a roar of in articulate rage followed up by more paint blistering curses.

"Seph, you are being an idiot!"

"You're implying that I cheated on you you--"

Zack covered the ears of the writer and occasionally grimaced. And then his eyes widened, then narrowed, real anger showing up.

"You're the fucking sperm bank! You're the one that suggested the threesome!"

That was a low-blow as they both adored Cloud-chan and Zack had been dropping hints all over the place and had more opportunity as well considering that the cute blond was in his troop.

Seph also gave him a low-blow in return, as his sword was suddenly sticking out from the door between Zack's legs.

The spikey haired idiot didn't have even time to yelp.

"ZACKARY DONOVAN KINENAGORI, YOU'RE FIRED!"

Such a thing was enough to stun the crying little assitant (apprently the silly little bint thought she had a chance with Sephy-sama) who delivered the basket to look up.

Zack choked and staggered forward, shocked, which was just as well because the sword tilted up sharply and thumped as Sephiroth dropped it.

He went forward in a daze to pack his bags, mentally denying the sounds he heard.

~*~*~*~

Sephiroth dragged himself forward, resting a hand low on his abdomen.

Zack had brown eyes, but with the mako they sometimes gleamed silver, the way a cat's might gleam green.

But only rarely, when he laughed, looked at him, when his eyes were heavy and near asleep and looked over at him from across their bed.

When he said, "I love you."

He dreamed of that color.

Silver, not like his hair, but a warm silver, the silver of kitten eyes.

Silver...Gin.

Remains of a prayer indeed.

"I know your name already little one."

He collapsed and started to cry.

And eat, but he only for a little while, until he felt ill from even considering it and simply cried like the child he never was.

Somnus Gin.
