Chapter Ten – House

He walked out of the building and had avoided being caught by the three adults downstairs in the bar who held the awkward moment as he had chosen to push his window sill open as he leaped out climbing down the cardboard boxes he left their when he needed to escape without having to eat breakfast first when Tifa noticed him.

He soon referred to pushing his hands in both pockets found on his pants when he finally shook his head and pulled them out.

That's not how Cloud acts! Turks only act like that…

He was trying ever so hard to be like his role model, Cloud Strife. He was always glad to have his company when he came back from a delivery, if he hadn't thought Cloud was one of the three adults in the bar he might have not left and ran to greet him instead.

He wanted to be just like him, he wanted to be a Solider! He wanted to start his own group like Cloud led, but so far that plan was a failure due to the fact that the group THE VOLCANOES had only three members; including him. So in the end he just decided to start by acting out his every move he studied from the spiky haired figure.

Ruffling his brown hair he stopped for a moment as he allowed a cat like figure and red creature pass by him quickly as if in a hurry to god knows when. He didn't take a second look to see if he knew them, he was trying to remember the directions he was given earlier.

"Turn three times, find the 'X' cardboard box and call out for me!" He noted and did as told as he turned foolishly thrice and wondered if he was being a victim of a prank. But as the directions were told, his eyes soon set upon the cardboard box with a poorly X drawn on it but his ears were soon perked on the close by conversation between two men, one lanky and one mysterious.

"Just one drink and we'll leave for work, yo!" One of them whined as he dragged the other to the bar that Denzel noticed people just like those two met up.

The other one of course said nothing but shake his head with disbelief with a sigh before his sight caught Denzel. The child of course didn't know what to do but stand there forgetting to call her name as he was directed before to do.

"Are you listening to me? Oh look what you found!" The lanky one teased before now shaking his head like his comrade once did and making his way to the building without caring if his comrade came in. As followed the silent one walked after his partner.

"They always freak me out, but the red head is quite funny"

He slightly jumped back as he noticed the new object in the scene behind him. It gave out a soft giggle as if laughing at his out of place behavior before hugging the stuffed plushie tightly as she waited for him to talk.

"They're nothing but trouble, especially the foolish one who can't be serious for one minute" he stated still continuing with his goal to be just like his role model.

She gave a sigh and with her eyes at the ground before sharply staring at Denzel.

"So what'd you call me for?" He asked emotionless hoping he was doing a good act as he tilted his head and wondered what it could be.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot!" The girl said with a soft laugh before resting the moogle on the cardboard box, Denzel watched her as she pulled out many objects like a frying pan and apron from behind the box and dumped them alongside her moogle before lastly covering her moogle with a cloth and allowing Denzel to hold it.

Denzel was honestly lost as he stared at the moogle confused who looked just like a…..Child wrapped around the cloth. Looking at the two ponytail girl with disbelief he could have ran away but he just complained.

"You tricked me!" He cried.

"How else would I get you to play the game with me?" The girl teased before holding a bag pack and pushing Denzel next to the box which looked just like a….Kitchen with the pan and apron.

"You're the mom, I'm the dad and Mimi is the baby" She stated before making her way behind an imaginary door.

"Why do I have to be the mom? And who is Mimi!" He asked praying Cloud did not catch him in such a state which was holding a child moogle and wearing an apron while being forced by a girl his age.

"Because you're better at the part and Mimi is the baby!" She stated pointing at the toy moogle held by Denzel as he felt his cheek flush as he hid from the sight of any passer bys who could be familiar to him.

"Alright let's start!" The girl squealed happily that she was going to play her favorite game with him as she knocked on the wall before going into character, "Honey, I'm home!" She called out to Denzel as he stared at her disbelief not wanting to say anything, but of course her evil glares made him think other wise.

"I'm in the kitchen with Mimi" he recited in a whisper before getting another deadly glare.

"What? I can't hear you, dear!" The girl said threatening him with her going on glares to talk louder.

"I'm in the kitchen with Mimi!" He yelled now as he figured the faster he finished the game, the faster he could hide and not be caught. Right now, being forced to eat breakfast by Tifa sounded perfect to the poor soul.

"Oh, okay I'm coming!" She said as she made her way to Denzel and let out a smile before pinching the moogle's cheek. "Mimi looks so happy today" she said at the rosy cheeked boy as he spoke.

"Well she was a bit of a mess before with the food fight but I think she's going to be an angel now" he said with no emoticons not believing he was still going through this.

"That's my girl!" The girl who played the father said as she took the moogle in her hands and began playing airplane with it.

"So what's for lunch?" She asked Denzel as he said nothing.

"Aw come on! Don't make me say it!" Denzel pleaded convinced he would go on his knees soon.

"What's for lunch?" She asked in her threatening tone as she glared him down.

"……You're favorite sweetheart; dessert. Our wedding cake to be more exact" he gulped down before watching her let out an acted out grin.

"You're perfect honey! I love you!" She said happily as she hugged Denzel before making her way on the imaginary couch.

"Now I'm going to be the mean husband okay?" She told him without seeing his opinion and starting.

"HONEY, I WANT MY LUNCH!" She called out loudly enough for the whole street to hear as Denzel wanted to die right there.

"I'm coming you idiot! Just give me a minute!" He said getting into the act as he wore the apron neatly and began pretending to make the food, maybe the game wasn't so bad….Until…

"Oh look honey! The mail man came, go get the mail!" She told a confused Denzel as he finally got it; someone was watching them all this time as he or she was assigned by the girl to play the mail man.

"Someone's been watching all this time?" He cried as he made his way quickly turned to see none other then a lost red head holding papers that were suppose to be imaginary letters.

"Rude…I need another dozen of drinks….NOW!" The red head cried as the image of Cloud's adopted orphan in apron acting like a girl, no even worse as a mother was forever tattooed in his brain.

Author Note – That's what I thought also when my friend asked me to pair Lucrecia with Reeve, but in the end I kind of see what she liked of the pairing. I honestly myself aren't sure if that's her real name but I've seen her called by that name in some places and decided to call her by that also. ) Next chapter; Barret & Marlene.
