Aerithism

Twelve: Memories

She folded another shirt and put it atop a stack. The silver-haired girl took down a pair of pants, folded, and tossed it into the basket. In a circular fashion, she preformed her chores.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

The girl's green eyes blinked as she lifted her head to watch the approaching brunette. "Obviously, I'm doing the laundry."

"B-but you're not wearing any clothes!"

Azrael looked at down at herself. "No, I'm not… I'm wearing a tank and some choco-boxers."

Heiress waved her arms in the air. "But why?"

"Because my clothes are dirty… Idiot."

"No, why do you have boxers with… little chocobos on them?"

Azrael smiled slightly, memories from centuries pastinvading her thoughts. "They… remind me of better times…"

Cirrus grinned as listened to his teacher discuss the Cloud Strife. Not because it was particularly accurate or interesting; no, he was resisting the urge to laugh aloud.

"Cloud Strife gained infamy for dressing in a feminine fashion… Legend states he did so that he could more easily comprehend the Maiden's identity…"

That was one time and it was Aerith's idea… I was too worried about Tifa to listen to her crazy plan.

"Our Lady Aerith meanwhile had chosen to dress in Strife's former uniform, so She could understand the masculine psyche of Her and the Planet's enemy."

Yeah… That's why her dress got caught on every rock and tree branch.

"… Today we mimic their noble actions by combining the masculine and the feminine."

Must resist urge to laugh…

Heiress smiled as she watered the small wildflowers outside her bedroom. She hummed lightly as she tended her 'babies.'

"Little Cetra… What is your fascination with those?"

The brunette turned to glare at the intruder. Father had sat down upon her bed, curiosity in his glowing eye. "Can't you call me by my name?"

"I am calling you by your name… Just as I address others by what they are."

Green eyes marked mixed emotions. "I… don't understand you."

Father changed his appearance for only a brief moment. If one blinked, the disgusting face of Jenova could not be seen. "I am selfish… That's what the project always says."

"'Project'? Oh… Sephiroth… We really have different ideas."

"Jenova is barbaric… Don't bother wasting your time 'converting' Mother." Azrael leaned against the doorframe of the small bedroom. "Come on… Dinner's done."

"… Why are you still walking around in only boxers?"

Feel free to write a review. Or flame me, whatever.

That ended up pretty silly, huh?

Before you even ask, yes there are boxers for females.
