AN: Oh gosh it's been a very long time since I've upload something and for that I apologize. And look, you get a fandom that I've never written for before: Final Fantasy. I wrote this for a friend who gave me the prompt (the title). It's based off a fanart picture I found which inspired me to write the story which can be found here: (.).

As always, happy reading.

If they were younger, then this scene would make a lot more sense. If they met in the past, then this scene would make more sense. Sure, Zack decided it would be a good idea to head to the beach. So he invited the whole crew: Aerith, Cloud, the Turks, even the squad he trained to go on a small vacation. Thankfully, there were no missions to be handed out and a solider needed to take advantage of down time.

Again, if Zack and Cloud were younger, then this scene would make more sense.

What scene?

Cloud having an inner tube placed below his waist, holding it in a certain position. Not to mention that Zack had a pair of shorts in his hand that didn't belong to him. The older male had a huge grin on his face while the younger, well, had a huge flush. Thankfully Cloud's wild hair covered his face enough to not show his dismay. Zack paraded around as if he had defeated a mighty enemy, placing Cloud's swimming trunks on a stick, which stuck out the sand castle he built with Aerith earlier.

Boys will be boys.
