Challenge: Reno, Tseng, Sephiroth, a b-day cake, Reno's scars, Dark Nation, Hojo, a potion from Hojo's lab, and a lego building from ShalBrenfan
"Hey, did you know today's Hojo's birthday?" Reno asks as he rummages through his desk for some random object. Tseng blinks, he had just stuck his head in the door to yell at Reno for kicking Zack's Lego building over and already the redhead was distracting him.
"No," Tseng sighs, looking towards the ceiling and praying for Shiva to grant him the patience to deal with today without the impulse to slam his or other people's heads into the wall. Reno grins, holding up a small glass bottle filled with a poisonous looking potion.
"I'm going to give him a...special present," Reno says, swirling the liquid around carefully before opening the box on his desk and pouring it over the object within. Tseng steps closer to see a cake with the words 'Happy Birthday'.
"What was that?" He asks, eyeing the bottle warily. Either way he wasn't going to touch the cake. Reno laughs maniacally, his green eyes glinting evilly.
"Some random potion I swiped from Hojo's lab a year or so ago. You know when I got my scars in that unfortunate 'accident'," Reno says angrily; the issue wasn't brought up often. Most people weren't even aware that Hojo gave Reno his scars. Though it did explain his hate of him. "Hey, you want to come with me to the party?" The redhead asks, no longer dwelling on the past now that revenge was so close.
"Party?" Tseng repeats, raising an eyebrow. He couldn't see anyone willingly throwing a party for Hojo. Reno grins evilly.
"Yeah, Sephiroth and I are throwing him a party." Reno says, the evil grin on his face growing wider with every word. Now this Tseng had to see. Sephiroth and Reno's hate of Hojo was infamous; any thing they did concerning him was bound to be evil... and amusing for any onlookers.
"Sure why not?" Tseng says shrugging, completely forgetting about anything concerning Zack, Lego buildings and Reno kicking things (unless it was Hojo).
The morning after a very purple Hojo was found locked in a cage made of spoons with Dark Nation. Not a single employee could figure out why or how it happened, as the security cameras were malfunctioning that night. But Sephiroth was unusually happy all that week and Reno was smirking more than he normally did.
Nobody really cared either. Hojo had deserved worse for scarring Reno's face.
Everyone knew. No one cared. Because that is how it worked in this universe.
Thanks to all for reading and reviewing. Only 12 more drabbles until the end.
