The next morning Zack woke up. For some reason he was happy. He remembered what Angeal told him. Zack still wondered if it were true. He was still happy though. Best of all, it was raining and he loved the rain. Angeal walked in a few minutes later. "Zack, you have a free day under supervision of me. We do whatever you want. Just please, stay out of the rain, my little puppy."
Zack smiled. "Aw! Come on! It's fun!"
Angeal thought about it. It WOULD make his little puppy happy and he loved when his puppy was happy. "Alright. We'll go in the rain."
Angeal would never forget Zack's joy. He ran outside right away. Angeal walked, not really wanting to stand out in the rain. Still, it made Zack happy. By the time Angeal got outside Zack was already soaking wet. In spite of everything, Angeal had to smile. It's been a while since Zack had this much fun. He had fun before with Angeal, occasionally during lessons Angeal would accidentally say a word wrong and it caused Zack to laugh. Another time was when Angeal was working and Zack started playing a random song really loud. He wanted to see Angeal's reaction and laughed at the confused one. It turned out to be an opera song (no, Zack does not listen to that) and Zack was laughing hard. Zack found out Angeal hated opera but so did Zack. Angeal chased Zack around the room and they had an ultimate tickle fight, which led Angeal to win. It was fun, but this time Zack didn't have to do anything stupid for his own amusement. Angeal got out of his thoughts when he heard Zack "Come on, Angeal! It's no fun without you!"
Angeal shook his head but Zack pulled him into the rain. In a matter of minutes Angeal was soaked. "Having fun in the rain?"
Angeal turned around to see Sephiroth and Genesis. "I'm not," He then pointed to Zack. "he is."
They both stepped into the rain, not caring if they got wet or not. "Remember the game we use to play?"
"Shall we demonstrate, Sephiroth?"
'I think we should."
In a minute, Angeal and Sephiroth tried to pin each other down. Genesis stood next to Zack and was laughing like crazy. Zack watched in amazement. He never seen Angeal like that before. Angeal WAS playful at times. He was playful with him at times. He never saw Angeal actually playing around like that before. Yet there was Angeal standing right before him. In the rain too. Zack never thought he'd ever see the day where Angeal would be playing like that. "Go Angeal!"
Angeal had to smile. Normally people would cheer for Sephiroth. Zack really had changed Angeal after all. It was always said that Angeal didn't know how to smile. No one ever seen him do so, not even his friends. Two years ago when Zack was fourteen he became Angeal's student. Angeal had to admit he WAS nervous at first. Zack was pretty shy two years ago. He grew up in a small village but so did Angeal. It took Angeal forever to get Zack to talk. That's when he learned Zack didn't know English. He spoke the language they spoke in Gongaga. It wasn't a problem for Angeal however. A similar language was spoken in Banora. He taught Zack English as well as the sword. He learned more about Zack as time passed. Now he became a strong 2nd Class SOLDIER who could fight really well. He was still a puppy though. His little puppy. Angeal saw a change in Zack. He always saw something in Zack, even when the others can't. Angeal returned to his thoughts and continued the little fight.
Finally Sephiroth pinned Angeal down. It was Angeal's turn to laugh when Zack pushed Sephiroth off of Angeal and pinned Sephiroth down. The little puppy pinned down the Great General. Angeal ruffled Zack's hair. It started raining harder and Zack grew more happier. Angeal silently walked behind Zack and covered Zack's eyes. Zack pinned Angeal down after that. Director Lazard came and he looked very outraged. "SOLDIER 1st Class Genesis Rhapsodos, Angeal Hewley, Sephiroth, SOLDIER 2nd Class Zack Fair! I would expect better behavior from SOLDIER."
Zack walked a little closer to Angeal. Sephiroth shook his head. "This is on our spare time. You can't tell us what to do on it."
Director Lazard stormed away. Angeal pinned Zack down the moment Lazard left. "Next time don't ever pin me down."
Zack gave a small whimper. A few hours later it stopped raining. Zack and Angeal were back home drying off. "That was fun!"
Angeal nodded. "Yes, so am I to know you are happy now?"
Zack nodded. "Yes!"
Angeal embraced Zack. Zack looked up and placed a kiss on Angeal's lips. Angeal kissed back. "So does the little puppy need to sleep yet?"
Zack shook his head. "Not tired."
Angeal rolled his eyes. "Then I guess I better find something for the puppy to do."
"No you don't!"
Angeal gave Zack a confused look. Zack wrapped his arms around Angeal's neck and gave him a long passionate kiss. Angeal kissed back, knowing Zack would want him too. Ieron opened the door. "I told you were in love with the puppy."
Angeal didn't want to break the kiss but he had to get Ieron away. "Ieron would you just go away?"
Ieron did and Angeal went back to Zack. They both continued the kiss. Finally they slowly broke it. "I know a puppy who needs to sleep."
Zack nodded and went to his room. Angeal came into his mind. He loved Angeal and hoped he would return those feelings.
