More one word prompts, Zangeal style. There are 26 this time. Sorry for the long wait between updates! Now that finals are over and the holidays are basically HERE, all the real life preparation that takes me away from my fantasy world should be over soon...

Zangeal in 26

Suppression – Angeal doesn't laugh often, especially not in public. But as Zack tumbles down the stairs, trying to catch a stray paper, he can't quite keep the sound from escaping his lips.

Terrify – Zack was not afraid of heights, the dark, enclosed spaces, spiders, or ghosts. However, the thought of Angeal one day not returning from a mission made his blood run cold.

Shining – Angeal grew up with the effects of mako; he'd never really had a moment of realization at how much it changed him. But now, he watches Zack crow with excitement in the mirror, staring at his glowing eyes, he can't help but admit that it's fairly extraordinary.

Followed – Zack stares at the fuzzy yellow chocobo chick pecking at Angeal's feet and can't resist a smirk. He doesn't ask how it got here. Angeal doesn't look like he's in the mood to answer.

Suspicious – Angeal would like to know just what Zack thinks he's doing with that vacuum.

Top – Fishnet, Angeal decides, awkwardly clearing his throat, should be banned on the Shin-Ra premises.

Firm – No means no and that is Angeal's final answer for the night.

Replacement – The day before Zack's first mission apart from Angeal, he gives the older man a little black puppy. It was meant as a joke…but Angeal didn't find a new home for it until the day before Zack came home.

Thick – Angeal can sink his entire hand into the mass of black hair atop Zack's head and still not reach his scalp.

Admire – Zack has always had a 'thing' for authority figures. Before he even met Angeal, he knew things would be interesting based on the respect he seemed to have obtained by everyone around him.

Familiar – A year ago Angeal couldn't sleep unless he was alone. Now, he can't sleep unless Zack is pressed against his side.

Scarlet – Zack never wanted to see that much blood in his life, much less all at once. The fact that it was pouring from Angeal's chest made his own chest ache in near blinding pain.

Welcome – Zack has perfected his come-hither gaze. Angeal doesn't feel the need to resist.

Multiplication – Genesis mentions that perhaps Angeal would like to add one to his and Zack's newly founded relationship. Angeal says he'd rather multiply by one and can't help but laugh at the brief confusion that crosses Genesis' face.

Invalid – Zack can't believe that Angeal would lock him out of his office, but when the code is denied for the twenty-seventh time, he really starts to wonder.

Convincing – Despite his stoic nature, Angeal isn't that hard to coax into trying new things.

Tomatoes – Trusting Zack to make dinner was probably a mistake, Angeal decides as he scrapes tomato off of the ceiling.

Distract – Angeal really needs to finish this mission report…but Zack has obviously put a lot of effort into what he's wearing…ah…not wearing.

Blast – Zack's not a fan of explosions. They usually result in him face first in a pile of dirt somewhere…but this time the result is him being scooped up in Angeal's arms as he rushes past…so maybe they've got something going for them after all?

Widespread – With the amount of whispering going on each time he walks past, Angeal wonders if there wasn't someone hiding outside of his apartment the night before, waiting for the exact moment that he and Zack officially began the sexual aspect of their relationship to run off and start spreading the news.

Asking – Sometimes 'please' doesn't cut it…but Zack finds that being naked tends to help his chances.

Contradiction – Zack is probably the most graceful, clumsy person that Angeal has ever met.

Danger - The knowledge that one or both of them might not return after the coming dawn makes every moment all the more precious.

Farewell – Zack goes through the motions of saying goodbye, but it doesn't sink in until days later when he finally returns to what had once been their home.

Emphasis – Angeal pays special attention to his collarbone and neck while Zack impatiently wishes he'd move to considerably lower places.

Caffeine – Somethings are simply not meant for naturally hyper people…Zack is one of these people.
