Time Period: Pre-Crisis Core
Description: Never give Sephiroth a teddy bear.
Rating: K, although I based it off of someone else's fanfic, which was rated M… My fic can be viewed on its own, though. Because there are indeed many ways to tick Sephiroth off. XD;;
Also: I wanted to mention that other fic. Which I wrote this after reading, so I wanted to credit the author. I thought the story was very poignant and beautifully written, especially regarding poor Seph's descriptions and reactions. Then it hit the very last line, which seemed… cruel of Angeal. But it was still an awesome fic, up until then, and have a warning that the fic I am linking you to, once again, is RATED M. .net/s/5148248/1/Some_Kind_of_Friendship
The camp was completely silent, but for the sound of a stapler going off. Twice. Sephiroth… had not been pleased with him, Angeal reflected. He'd thought the little fuzzy, stuffed bear, proclaiming "I'm sorry" would have soothed the General's foul mood. And apparently it had. In… a way.
Sephiroth had turned the thing over, as though confused. "What am I supposed to do with… this?" he'd asked incredulously.
The response had not been satisfactory. "Well… it can be used as a decoration. As a soft thing to cuddle against."
One silver eyebrow quirked. "I do not require either of those." A pause. "Though it might be amusing to see it explode. I see that the introduction of Zack has already altered my perceptions. The option 'blow it up' would never have occurred to me, before."
Angeal had to hold back a chuckle. "And how do you plan to blow it up?"
Sephiroth thought for a moment. "The other SOLDIERs… need some encouragement. We could hold a contest. As long as we don't use too much MP, Shin-Ra shouldn't mind."
And that was how Angeal had ended up here. Stapling a flier in the most visible place of the camp he could think of, at the crack of dawn. They'd brainstormed on it for a short time, and come up with an amusing contest for everyone to get involved in.
The flier proclaimed:
Be the One to Make the Teddy Bear Explode 1. Do not enter an idea which would evaporate, disintegrate, or otherwise send the teddy bear into non-existence. We want to see some flying fluff. 2. Do not submit an entry which would require the use of more than 50 MP. 3. All entries must be submitted by tomorrow at 12:00. The teddy bear will meet its fate at 16:00. This contest sponsored by Sephiroth and Angeal. Never give Sephiroth a teddy bear.
