09: Zack and Books
"CLOUD!"
Crashing onto the stone floor, I can't help cursing whoever gave this moron sugar.
"Where have you been? I was so worried that you'd ditch me!"
Pushing porcupine head up, I wonder how he managed to get out of kindergarten. Let alone high school. "Maybe if someone bothered to pick me up this morning," I growl.
"I was busy!"
Raising an eyebrow, I force a stoic mask on my face. "Doing what precisely?"
He rubbed the back of his neck, laughing slightly. "Trying to find a tea shop."
I tilt my head slightly. "Why? You hate tea."
"Well, you see…" He stands up a determined look on his face. "There comes a time in every man's life where he must accept all that has given him… God—or Satan, I'm not sure which—has blessed me with an angelic woman, therefore I must move forward to claim all that she is—"
Scratch the sugar.
This has to be mushrooms...
"—I must sally forth to her place of employment!"
Standing up, I brush invisible dust from my pants. "What would that have to do with a tea shop?"
He rubs his temples, as if trying to explain to a child. "She works at a tea shop… She just won't tell me which one!" Cluching his head, he groans. "She's a seductive siren, I tell you!"
Zack, you have absolutely no idea.
"Junk, junk, junk… Who the hell reads this stuff?" Zack waves a romance novel before my eyes. Those breasts are fake.
"Housewives? How the fuck would I know?"
Leaning back, porcupine-head laughs. "Oh? You've never read one?"
"Zack?"
"Yes?"
"You're an ass."
Turning himself about, he glances at his backside. "Yes, I do have a fine ass, don't I?"
I really should get on Prozac or something.
… Or maybe just find more sane friends.
Then again, I look relatively sane by comparison…
Please review. I can't do the puppy-dog pout very well using text.
Just out of curiosity, what are everyone's favorite pairings? Before anyone asks, no there won't be any romance (mostly because that devolves into sap).
Daenis TooShy, Kameko Suigami, Aimme, Aya-chan, and Lord Divestre Croft get Zack plushies for reviewing
Bonus Story Three
Moving
"Exactly—grr—do I have to help you move your stuff?"
"Because I have a date tonight, and Scar—Mother said I needed to get everything out by midnight."
"Which brings us back to," amber eyes glare, "why I have to help?"
A gentle smile and a sparkle to the eye grace Aerith's features. "Please, Jessie?"
"Don't try that 'girl next door' crap with me." With a sharp kick, the box rolls down the stairs.
"—Jessie—!"
"Oh, it's just those sappy romance novels. They'll be fine… Biggs and Wedge show up with the truck yet?"
