I know...I'm updating not even twenty-four hours later...that probably will never happen again. Hopefully it pleases you though...I absolutely adore one word prompts so as soon as I collect enough of them, I put them all together into chapters. I'll probably do so again once I've collected enough once more. These, like everything else, are in no particular order.
Zangeal in 50
Wolf – Zack initially would have preferred something a bit more respectful than 'puppy' but something in the way Angeal's tone changes when he says it has changed Zack's mind.
Bones – Angeal loves laying Zack on his stomach and tracing the length of his spine with one hand, the other moving gently down the shape of one hip.
Dislike – Angeal never has been able to get Zack to eat his vegetables.
Lamp – It really was only a matter of time, what with the poor thing sitting so close to the edge of the sofa, well in range of Zack's feet, which have a habit of kicking to express his approval.
Wild – Five hours later, they discovered that they were not in fact capable of flattening out Zack's hair.
Doorknob – As much as Zack loves the rare moments when Angeal is caught up enough to be spontaneous, if he'd slammed Zack into the other side of the door, there would have been considerably less bruising.
Pillowcase – Angeal is not sure why, but when he returned to his apartment that evening, Zack was sitting on the floor in front of the television, wearing a pillowcase over his head.
Tomorrow – The future, immediate or not, becomes considerably less important when the present holds such treasures as the ones laid out before him now. He isn't sure what the carpet swatches are for, but the naked Zack holding them certainly makes things promising.
Backseat – Zack has heard all sorts of things about what goes on in the back of the army convoys…so he's considerably put out when his first time in one with Angeal results in him leaning over the side window to throw up every few minutes. Angeal does end up holding him in his lap for the majority of the trip, but Zack had something very different in mind for that particular position.
Soup – Zack doesn't like the idea of drinking his food. Angeal pretends he's okay with throwing out the dinner he'd spent two hours making and lets Zack order a pizza.
Socks – There is nothing, in Zack's mind, that kills the mood quite as efficiently as tripping over your feet while trying to remove your last sock and falling against the coffee table right where it hurts most.
Desk – Sephiroth is ordering a new one in the morning. Angeal apologizes, but Zack rather ruins the effect with his inability to stop grinning.
Misunderstanding – Angeal wasn't sure how Zack translated "You're favoring your left side" to "Please strip right now, in front of everyone in the First class gym for me" but he can't say he's as surprised as he is embarrassed.
Surgery – Hollander has seen mothers waiting for their children to get out of intensive care with limbs missing who are calmer than Angeal waiting for Zack to get his tonsils removed.
Premonition – Twelve hours before being told that Angeal has vanished with Genesis, Zack breaks out in chills during unarmed combat practice.
Taboo – Zack's hands are absolutely never allowed to go there. Never.
Evidence – Zack's story would probably have been more convincing if he weren't covered in applesauce.
Feathered – How Angeal could think that this made him a monster was beyond Zack's comprehension. The only thing keeping him from burying himself in its Angeal-shaped comfort is the look on the older man's face.
Tunnel – On his second mission, an underground passageway collapsed with Zack still under it. He dug his way out with cupped hands and emerged, shaking dirt from his head. It was around that time that the rest of the Firsts took to calling him by Angeal's nickname.
Scarf – It's itchy and makes his upper lip sweat, but Zack will be damned before he'll catch a cold and not be able to fully enjoy the holiday, especially the parts that don't involve any clothing at all.
Grey – Angeal is not swayed by the excuse that it looks like it might rain. Now would Zack kindly get up, put some pants on, and get his sword?
Key – It's small, square, plastic and fits in the palm of his hand. It probably cost less to make than the spare change Zack has in his pocket. But when Angeal finally gives him his own key card, to come and go in the apartment as he pleases, Zack feels as though he's never been given something quite as priceless.
Shape – Angeal's arms, covered by the thick cotton of the winter uniform shirt, shift in shape with each movement of his sword. Zack is mesmerized.
Rough – Zack presses a chaste kiss to the tip of Angeal's chin and wonders if he's ever thought of shaving it. A second kiss and he decides he hopes that he doesn't.
Monotonous – The only thing that gets Zack through his last class is the knowledge that Angeal will be waiting for him at home.
Twist – Angeal can't quite describe the movement Zack's body makes as he crawls toward his pillow, but he does know that he can get it to turn completely if he presses his hand just so against his ribs.
Window – Seven complaint reports later, Lazard finally had no choice but to inform Angeal that he needed to invest in some curtains.
Missing – Angeal resists the urge to make a comment about lost puppies when he finally catches up with Zack across from the cotton candy stand.
Porcelain – Mako has the unusual ability to drain color from a person's skin. The result is often disturbing, but as Angeal presses open mouthed kisses to Zack's stomach, he decides that this is not one of those cases at all.
Cord – Zack didn't even know Angeal liked this sort of thing…
Duty – By the second time he says it, the cadet is snorting with laughter and Angeal knows he has his work cut out for him with this one.
Owl – Of all the things for Zack to compare him to…this one makes the least sense. And no explanation is forthcoming it seems, as Zack is now fast asleep.
Coin – The first time and only time Zack manages to shoot a bullet through a coin, Angeal ties it around his neck and tells him that this does not mean he has any sort of shooting skill at all.
Sight – As the General addresses the newly appointed Seconds, Zack knows all eyes are on him, but he can't help but let his own stray to the man standing just behind him.
Persuasion – In the end Angeal agrees to at least try page forty-seven. Zack is naked about three seconds later. Later he'll have to find out just what Genesis was thinking; giving him this particular book…Loveless might actually have a better choice, even with the rather disturbing chance of Zack taking up the habit of quoting it.
Comfort – The flower girl wraps her arms around him, and while he knows she means well, his body is tense and screaming that she is two small, too slender, and too feminine to be any real comfort at all.
Unusual – Zack is always disappointed on the rare occasion that Angeal comes to bed wearing pants.
Battery – Genesis has never heard Angeal swear as much as now that, two hours after he should have returned, Zack still hasn't called him to tell him that he's home safe from his mission. His suggestion that the boy's phone battery is probably dead is met with far less appreciation than Genesis had been aiming for.
Breath – Zack likes kisses, but only after he's brushed his teeth, despite Angeal's assurance that he's not going to end everything because of a little morning breath.
Cold – Angeal's eyes shut and Zack supposes that the realization that he'll never open them again chills him more than even his own death could.
Silhouette – "No Angeal," a tired Lazard explains once more. "The curtains are not thick enough."
Sharp – It started out as repositioning Zack's hands to better sharpen the blade, but it ended up with the sword forgotten completely.
Fabric – ShinRa doesn't worry much about how comfortable the fabric of their uniforms is, but when combined with the solid warmth of Angeal's chest against his cheek, Zack finds it the most soothing feeling in the world.
Aversion – For the sake of everyone involved, even Genesis did not mention the pair of felt dog ears that were mysteriously hanging over Angeal's doorknob. It was easier just to walk quickly past.
Paper – There is no article published when Angeal disappears. Zack doesn't think he could have stood reading it, even if there had been.
Worry – "Yes Angeal, I remembered to turn the coffee pot off."
Sigh – Angeal supposes that if he were paid every time Zack caused him to sigh, be it in frustration, subdued amusement, or far less appropriate longing, they could both retire immediately and live a happy, safe life as apple farmers.
Speak – Zack does occasionally, stop talking. His mouth is usually otherwise occupied.
Keepsake – Zack presses the single white feather to his chest with one hand, the other clasped around the hilt of Angeal's sword.
