Challenge: Rufus, Sephy and giving.
Sephiroth stares at the newest invader to come into his office. Rufus stares back at him, shifting nervously as Sephiroth wonders what would make a boy practically raised by the Turks nervous, oh right. Him.
"Is there something in particular that brings you to my office?" Sephiroth asks curiously, wondering why the boy would voluntarily come into his office if he unnerved him so. Rufus looks down at his feet and holds out a small object.
"This is for you," Rufus says, acting like a three-year-old with a flower. Sephiroth stared at the object in his hand. Reaching out he took it cautiously. No one had ever given him anything before.
"A spoon?" he asks softly, inspecting the small silver object with a pink bow around it's neck. Rufus flushes and starts babbling.
"It was Reno's idea, he thought that since Hojo was deathly afraid of spoons and you had to deal with Hojo all the time, you might want a spoon." Rufus babbles on. Sephiroth nods, of course it would've been Reno's idea. He rather liked the redheaded Turk, he wonders why Reno didn't bring it himself though. "He was going to give it to you himself but then Tseng came in and he got in trouble because my office is a mess."
"Thank you, and tell Reno when you see him I thank him as well," Sephiroth says, tucking the spoon into his pocket. Even if it hadn't have been a semi-functional gift he would've kept it, after all it was given to him by people he liked and somewhat cared about.
"Okay!" Rufus says with a blinding smile in Sephiroth's direction. The silver-haired general waves it off and turns his attention back to Zack's report, which looked like it had been written by a drunken chocobo.
Now if only Zack would give him a decent report once in a while he'd be happy.
This is hilarious to me for entirely different reasons than it is to you.
Thanks to all for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it .
