Title: The OTHER Problem with Puppies
Drabble Challenge: AU
Prompt: literal puppyverse, with "kemonomimi & fluffy tails & all"
"Hide me!" Zack wailed as soon as he saw Cloud. Cloud's eyes went wide.
"Wha-?" Cloud managed. That was as far as he got before Zack grabbed him by the arm as he ran by. "Zack, what are you-let me-I'm on duty!" he spluttered as Zack beelined for a door.
"You're officially commandeered," Zack said, then yelled "C'mon, c'mon, open!" at the door, while looking furtively at the elevators. The door opened, and Zack ran through, still dragging Cloud behind him.
"Zack!" Cloud finally yelled.
Zack whimpered, but kept right on making his way for an exit at top speed, Cloud struggling behind him, and didn't stop until they made it out of the ShinRa building. "It's Sephiroth. He's got flea powder!" Zack said mournfully, his tail tucked between his legs, and he took a second to scratch just as mournfully at his ears.
