happy birthday, stairstothe7th!!

[tamlin_kitsune]

so, for once, I'm actually early instead of late about this but tomorrow's going to be crazy for me and I didn't want to miss wishing stairstothe7th  a happy birthday!!  So - happy birthday, my sweet and precious friend.  I hope you like the gift.  I thought you need more Zack.

Summary: a 200 word drabble prompted by the word 'awkward'.  And let me tell you - it was supposed to be 100 words.  See how bad I am? lol

"She's hot!"

“Zack… shut up.”

“No, man.  I mean like hot.”

“Zack – “

“Dude, pull your head outta that manual and smile at her when she comes over.  She’s  – bombshell hot.  … yowzah hot.   ‘If I wasn’t already taken I’d – “

“Zack!”

Zack relented but only with a reproachful look at his friend whose spiky head still hadn’t risen above his book to gape at the stunning waitress taking care of their section of the café.

“I’m tellin’ you, man…” he murmured through half closed lips as she swung over toward them, giving him a glorious view of just how nice those uniform shirts could look on the right figured girl.  Sure, he was happily taken but a guy had to notice someone like that.

Except for Cloud apparently, who only shifted his empty coffee mug from the inside of his book and held it absently near the edge of the table.

“Smoooo – kiiin.”

“Zack.”

“Hi!”  There she was with a smile, practically glowing with the happiest eyes Zack had probably ever seen… seconds before she bent down and planted a generous kiss on the lips of the blond, navigating the book as if it were second nature.  A kiss which, to Zack’s astonishment, Cloud returned and didn’t exactly rush through either.  If blue eyes could smirk, the blond’s were as Cloud finally came up for air and gave the man sitting across from him a lazy smile over the top of the book.

“Zack.  This is Tifa.  My girlfriend.”

And Zack keeps gawking as the curtain falls. XD

Hilarious ending. Very cute one-shot and it made both my CloTi and Fack shipper happy! =3

lol - glad you enjoyed it. Zack gave me the first line and the entire snippet just went from there. I suspect Cloud likes having a 'smoking' girlfriend :)

LOL

Short, sweet and hyper-hilarious, specially because it´s so easy to picture it.... Zack may really need a brain-filter, but I guess he wouldn´t be as devastangly endearing with it on, would he? :insert Zack´s plushie flirty wink here:

Gotta love´em all!! :)

XD I had so much fun with this one. But it's hard to write Zack and not have fun for me. Yeah, darling Zack - he's not too good about keeping what he's thinking to himself. But we wouldn't have him any other way and Cloud deserved this.

Bwahahaha! Oh, 'revenge' is indeed sweeeeeet!

Very nice, and I hope it brightened the birthday girl's day as much as it did mine!

Zack, gotta love Zack - but I do enjoy seeing Cloud come out on top. Especially since you know from this point on all he's going to have to do is smirk for Zack to know what he's thinking of.

Greetings to the Birthday Gal, and to the one who penned this delightfully clever zinger. God, I loves these characters! And I know they loved doing this! mc

Greetings to you too, MC! & thanks!

Glad you enjoyed and yeah, gotta love them. Must be why we come back time and time again. They had a blast with this one and you know Cloud's going to be smirking about it for a long time to come.

THANKS

Well, you were a day early and I was two days late, which really isn't fair considering that you DOUBLED the word count for me, so I'll just say thanks a million gil for this! Was a lot of fun and really made my day, especially the use of 'yowzah' and "Smoooo – kiiin," but you might have expected that. :)

And you were right about Zack. I *do* need more of him in my life. :D Thanks again, lovely!

heh - so very glad that you enjoyed this. I was wracking my brain trying to think of what to write and then Zack popped in. And Zack - well, he writes himself but especially when he starts off the story with a line like that. You, with your word smithing, I thought the slang might be enjoyed ;)

One can never have too much Zack in their life. Hope the birthday was good.
