A/N: Call me a loony if Sephiroth does not fit the prompt for 'Wait'. Really, what else was he doing while waiting for all those Reunions to happen so he could be resurrected and once again attempt to take over the Planet? Did you think he was learning the polka or something??
And yeah. This is actually kind of humourous. But Sephiroth is always seen as this serious guy who only pretty much has one thing on his mind. With all that time waiting to come back, I think he probably had to do something to entertain himself. And for all we know, Sephiroth is a true comedian. And I just enjoyed writing him in this light, since all my others ones (except for maybe 'Learn') was turning into be sad and kind of bittersweet. I need something to lift the mood, hahah.

It was maddening, waiting.
Of course, he understood why he had to wait this long. After all, there was the Reunion to consider and everything.
But still, you'd think that they would try to quicken the Reunion so that he could finally leave this little corner of hell that he was pretty much damned to live in until he was resurrected…again.
Sighing, the Great General Sephiroth (also known as the Monster, the Destroyer and all-around evil force of one Cloud Strife) shifted in his seat and leaned back, looking around at the green swirls that moved around him. He was pretty sure that he lived in the Lifestream, but he had yet to have any proof of that. He did hear Mother once in a while, but only bits of her. She was always whispering about the Reunion and the vengeance that they would bestow on those who had destroyed their plans last time. Well, her plans anyway. Sephiroth didn't really have any actual plans. He just went along with Mother.
A seemingly spineless thing to do, but when your mother was called the Calamity you didn't argue against her. It was just not the thing to do.
He shifted again, brushing back elegant strands of silver hair from his pale face. He paused momentarily in the action of moving his hair from in front of his eye, wondering why he had grown it so long. After all, it was kind of in the way all the time. And it wasn't like it served any real purpose other than making him look dramatic when he flew through the air and walked through fire and appeared out of nowhere. Really, all it actually did was get tangled and caught on door jams and people could always catch it in their grip and drag him back when he was turning for a cool looking (and unobvious) retreat.
Taking a moment to think on this, the general just shrugged and continued with moving his hair. It was starting to tickle his nose.
Why did he have to be resurrected anyhow? He didn't really see the point in trying to take over the planet so that they could 'ride the cosmos for a new and better world'. Yeah, it seemed to have its good points, but then there was the whole, 'destroying a whole population just to get said vessel' thing. Yes, they were all traitors who took the land from the Ancients and abused it and almost killed it, he understood that that was just a bad thing. Yet…if they destroyed the entire population and found a new, uninhabited planet, what would populate it other than Mother and himself?
And who was he supposed to produce children with? After all, he couldn't very well live forever (no matter how many times he got resurrected. If he stayed resurrected, he was bound to get old and die one day like any other normal person. Sure, he was special, but he could still age couldn't he?).
He took a moment to think on that…
…and promptly looked disgusted. Oh, he'd have to keep at least one woman alive. He was not procreating with his Mother, no matter how devoted he was to her.
Sephiroth then crossed his arms in a brief moment of a fit, glaring out at the green swirls around him. He really wished that the Reunion would happen already.
He really hated waiting.
