A/N: This is the Sebusai only pairing. Here, Seven and Sice are married without kids, but have a cat named Sonic.
Thankful
"Sonic!" Sice yelled, furious at that cat for disappearing from her sight once again, as she was done making his favourite cat treat. Ever since she and her wife Seven formally adopted the friendly Calico cat a few years ago, Sonic was one cat that was full of love and mischief. A few times, he snuck out of the house, only for him to come back home later that day as he was sad and didn't want to get lost. Although Seven was more forgiving of Sonic than Sice was, the silver haired woman had moments where she too was angry at him. However, neither woman could stay angry at the Calico cat for too long, as he gave them the love and attention their birth families never gave them. It was Sonic that showed them the meaning of unconditional love, so after 30 minutes of trying to look for him to no avail, Sice went back to the kitchen to resume the Thanksgiving meal she was making for herself, her wife, who was taking a nap in the master bedroom of their modest but cozy home, and a few friends.
To Sonic, Seven and Sice were his humans, knowing that his parents were the same way to him as their parents were to them when they were younger. It was their common ground of being abandoned by their respective parents that made them bond to each other. As for Sice, the remainder of the cooking she did for Thanksgiving was a success as it was a miracle the kitchen wasn't destroyed, which this year was the first for them hosting for a few close friends of theirs who didn't have any prior Thanksgiving plans for any reason and also loved Sonic, especially Deuce, who was getting over a nasty break up from a few months ago. All in all, it was easy to see why Seven and Sice married and even easier to see why they adopted that Calico cat a few years ago. The couple would rather have a pet then a child if they had an option on what they wanted after marriage. Sonic was more than enough for the two women, and he was a challenge they loved to take on.
Seven was enjoying her nap a bit too much to spot what felt like a feline resting on the top of her head. If the silver haired woman was being honest with herself, whatever it was that was resting on the top of her head made her more tired than before she took her nap. Somehow, the shape felt a some movement and quietly moved to where it was held snugly by the woman who was currently resting. Seven opened one of her eyes and saw that Sonic wanted to take a nap with her, causing her to close the eye that was opened and went back to sleep. Sonic loved taking naps with the silver haired woman...why that was, no one knows - not even Sice, despite the fact that the Calico cat loves to cuddle with the white haired woman whenever she was home. The pair resumed their nap for the time being, not caring about the outside world, but also being patient with the Thanksgiving meal that Sice was in the midst of making for them and a few friends who were visiting the couple and the cat.
By the time that Sice was done with cooking the Thanksgiving meal, she felt that she should resume her search for Sonic. Cooking calmed the white haired woman down enough to where she knew that she will forgive the cat for sneaking off on her, as Sice was doing so much in the kitchen at once when he snuck off. After turning off the stove and allowing the food to cool off, the white haired woman went to the bathroom so that she can take a bathroom break. Once that was done, she went into the master bedroom and was beyond thankful for the sight before her: Sonic was there...taking a nap with Seven. "You're such a sneaky fur kid...you know that...right, Sonic?" Sice mused to herself, chuckling at the very sight, as Sonic was safe and sound with her wife. Being sneaky though, Sice took out her phone so that she take a picture of this moment, Seven taking a nap with Sonic, not caring that Seven will kill her if she ever learns of this.
When their friends showed up, the Thanksgiving meal Sice worked her arse off to make turned out to be a huge hit. "Uh...Sice...don't think that you'll get away with the stunt of taking a picture of Sonic and I when we're alone later..." Seven suddenly announced, causing everyone there to laugh their arses off, knowing exactly what the silver haired woman meant by when she said those words to her wife. "Oh shit..." Sice breathed, but Seven heard those two words coming out of her wife's mouth, but frowned when Seven herself was chuckling after the sudden announcement, for the rest of the house knew that the silver haired woman was joking. Once the guests got a plate each to go, the married couple took the time to clean up the house and wash whatever dishes they could clean. "By the way Sice, I am thankful you took that picture of Sonic and I..." Seven told her wife with a genuine smile, causing the white haired woman to blush.
"Why is that, Sev...?" Sice asked all of a sudden.
"You're our world, Sice. The fact that you took that picture..." Seven starts, only to pause when her violet eyes to water. Sice took that moment to give her wife a comforting side hug. "...you want to show everyone who has your heart. I'm thankful that you're mine Sice. Sonic is grateful for you too." the silver haired woman finishes, causing the white haired woman to smile her best smile back.
"Sev...you and Sonic are my world as well. Everyone and their fucking mothers at work wanted to see what you two looked like, so I had to..." Sice began but Seven's gentle kiss stopped her in her tracks, knowing how the rest of that thought was going to go.
Seven, Sice and Sonic are all thankful for each other. To one another, they are the perfect family for each other.
This was their best Thanksgiving yet.

A/N #2: Due to my work schedule, I will NOT update this collection at all until Christmas weekend. The next tale will have Fang, Lightning, Seven and Sice all in one tale as it'll take place a few months after the end of the epilogue to "Out of the Darkness, Into the Light" - Rosa, Celes and Lebreau all make an appearance in that tale.
