Head aching, Zack slowly blinked open his eyes. What had he been doing last night? He didn’t think he had gone out drinking at all. When he realized how bright it was around him, he shut his eyes again with a groan, hand coming up to press against the aching spot.
“You hit your head when you passed out.”
Oh, and there was Seph. Now why would Zack pass out? It wasn’t as if….
Oh.
Yeah.
Eyes opening again, Zack blinked up at Seph, who was looking at him slightly concerned. “Tell me I just had the strangest dream.”
“You just had the strangest dream,” Seph said obediently, and moved to press his fingers against the sore spot on Zack’s skull. “I used a cure on you, and you bled on my carpet.” A pause. “And you are pregnant.”
“No, no, that was part of the dream. How can I deny stuff like that if you remind me of it?” Zack scowled faintly at Seph. “And sorry about your carpet.”
“Are you all right?”
Zack laughed. “No, Seph, I’m really not. I’m a girl who apparently is more functional than I thought.” He was starting to panic, too, breathing speeding up as he struggled to not hyperventilate. Then he registered something.
“You’re gonna be a dad, Seph.”
Seph nodded, but something in that blank expression told Zack that his friend wasn’t quite registering what the words meant. “A you kid, Seph. You helped make…this….” A vague gesture at his stomach. Oh, he was going to be sick.
And, look, still no real comprehension on Seph’s face. Fine then.
“A you kid, Seph. With -Hojo- around.”
Ah, there we go. A horrified realization suddenly dawned on Seph’s face.
“He can’t have you.”
Okay, maybe not what Zack was going for, but a step in the right direction. “He’s not going to get me, Seph. But we need to make sure of that.” He gave a bitter laugh. “Hell, for all we know, this was his plan since the beginning. Me and the others have been talking, and the only things we really have in common is we’re all SOLDIERs, and we all have partners who are SOLDIERs.”
“He can’t -have- you.”
The tone of fierce possessive protection in Seph’s voice actually did help Zack calm down a bit.
Well, enough that, when the regular burst of being sick hit, he didn’t break down into tears.
Stupid girl body.

It had been hard to adjust to the new body, and the hardest time of all was when he was trying to sleep. Given all his new agitations, it wasn’t surprising that Zack found it difficult over the last few days to get some kind of rest.
So when he finally got himself to drop off, the sudden shake was not expected.
Making a low, grumbling sound, he ignored Seph’s second shake to figure out what time it was. Early. Far too early in the morning to be up.
Batting a bit at the man’s hand, he rolled over, and blinked sleepy eyes at Seph. “What’s wrong?”
Look, that was almost concerned. He loved Seph dearly, but, really, the man should know by now not to mess with Zack’s sleep.
“I can’t be a parent.”
Blinking at the man, Zack tried to run that through his brain again. What? “Huh?”
Seph looked almost panicked. “I can’t be a parent. I'm not able.”
Okay, Seph totally could not mean that like he sounded like he meant it. “What do you mean, Seph?”
The man looked at him with wide eyes. “I don’t know how.”
See? There. Much better.
Zack still punched him hard in the arm. “You are not allowed to wander off on my over this, Seph. I don’t know, either. I don’t care if you have the ideas of a chocobo when it comes to parenting. If I’m really…you know, then you are staying here and helping me. Got it?”
He -reeeeally- wasn’t his best when he just got woken up. But the snarl had Seph nodding, so Zack could go with it. “Now go back to sleep, Seph. I love you, but we will talk in the morning. Or I’m going to murder you. Okay?”
Another wide eyed nod, and Zack shifted to use Seph’s chest for a pillow. Mmm, nice comfy muscles to lay on. And he was warm.
Seph was an excellent pillow.

He didn’t like this.
Zack was too exposed like this, too easy to take if needed.
Sephiroth had been there when Zack had been relearning his balance when this had first happened. It hadn’t taken long. Zack had always been talented in situations like this. But apparently the difference between male and female balance and the ways the body would move had been enough that Zack had almost pitched himself down stairs a few times.
And now, after doing some reading, he knew that being pregnant threw female bodies even more off balance.
This worrying about someone thing was new, and he wasn’t sure he cared for it.
He didn’t let Zack know, though. The man would be irritated that Sephiroth was so worried about him, especially as it had something to do with his current form.
Still, even if Zack didn’t want to realize it, Sephiroth made it a point to learn what he could.
Hojo would not make this easy for them.
When the time came, Sephiroth would be ready to defend what was his.

Waking up alone didn’t happen so often anymore. Confused, hand moving over the cooling sheets next to him, Sephiroth tried to put together what was going on. And where Zack had gone.
It only took a few moments to pick the man out, standing next to the window, looking out it quietly, arms curled around himself.
Was still odd to see the new form that Zack was in, no matter that it had been months since he had been changed. Still no sign of Hojo, either.
Sephiroth hoped they found the man soon. Zack seemed to be getting more and more quiet the longer this went on, and Sephiroth didn’t like it. Zack was many things, but quiet wasn’t normally one of them.
Like now.
Silent, Zack just looked out the window, huddled in on himself some, the ever-present Midgar glow bleaching out his skin. He looked tired, and Sephiroth dearly wanted to collect the man and bring him back to bed. But if Zack had gotten up, didn’t that mean he didn’t want to be in bed?
Still, he couldn’t leave Zack just standing there. It just seemed wrong.
Rising himself, he moved to the other and just hugged him, wrapping the blanket around them both. Hugging he had learned from Zack, and the quiet sigh and the way his friend leaned back on him told Sephiroth he had done the right thing.
And so he stood there, letting Zack lean on him for as long as the other needed.
Turnabout was only fair play, after all.

Leaning against Seph, Zack realized that he had a choice.
He could continue to let this wear at him, tearing him up a little at a time, let it upset Seph and worry the people who cared about him.
Or, he could simply let go and accept it.
He was a guy. Yes. But, for the moment, he was very, very much female. He didn’t know if he -could- be turned back. Especially after doing something like this, which was very much a change to this form.
But…he did know that this was happening, and that this was something that, hopefully, wouldn’t ever be repeated.
He could choose to let this break him.
Or he could be happy.
Leaning against Seph, feeling the other man warm against his back, arms tight around him, there was really no choice at all.
This set has warning for gender materia and side effects of said materia. Also, implied boys kissing boys. So, yeah, Zack/Sephiroth pairing.

Seph: *holding newborn up* ... Well, that's nice. Now what do I do with it?
no subject
Still amused it took a few days for it to register with him. *nods*
And he totally would. And Zack would swat him.
Somehow, I get the feeling -Seph- will be more diligent in reading up on what to expect.

A few typos:
"I can’t be a parent. I's not able."
I's to I'm? Though the thought Seph saying I's like a little kid is wildly amusing.
"Waking up along didn’t happen so often anymore."
Along to alone.
no subject
Seph has -massive- delayed reactions to some aspects of this, though he go the potential Zack danger from Hojo fast enough. *pets him*
Zack says he can damn well woob if he wants. He's allowed angst time to time.
no subject
More of this. Thanks, babe.
Mommy Zack coming to terms! And Papa!Seph diligently reading child care books. Made of win.
....what would they name the kid?
no subject
Seph is going to freak himself and Zack out over the next few months due to "You could have 'insert some disasterous situation here'" and then Zack will be forced to kill the man for making him twitchy.
no subject
Zackie-girl needs a female friend. *coughAeriscough* To trade eyerolls with when Seph's being... Seph. Someone to plan a babyshower, coo at her growing stomach and all that.
and knit baby clothes/socksno subject
But for a group of control-freaks like SOLDIERs (and I imagine that most SOLDIERs are, at least to a degree, control freaks), this has to be terrifying. They aren't in charge of this change at all, and if something goes wrong (like one of them getting pregnant), then there's nothing they can do.
Something that occurred to me is (even if you don't agree with this stance, or they don't agree with it), why doesn't abortion come up as a possibility, even if it is a distasteful one?
no subject
As for abortion, it just hasn't occurred to Zack. At all. I know one of the other SOLDIERs is considering it(no, Zack was not alone in his bad luck)
Zack, though, Zack just blinks blankly at the idea. I think it's just not something that ever came into his world view. He's never really had an opinion on it, and, well, he was a boy. It's never been a real worry for him. Maybe if he had ever knocked someone up, it would, but until this point, never been something to consider.
And Seph is barely aware of the possiblity, but, to him(at least for a few days), it was "Zack's baby" and he couldn't imagine why Zack would want his opinion on that.
*pats them*
Though things are going to get fun, soon. Zack's carrying Jenova's grandchild, after all.
no subject
...which is actually one of the things I love about this. Zack remains a SOLDIER, he doesn't become a whimpering weakling. Same for the other SOLDIERs who were changed.
*nods* I can see how that'd be a non-issue at first, especially when the both of them are still blinking in confusion over the whole, "baby, wha?" thing. I figured that Zack wouldn't be alone in his luck, though - heck, I'm pretty sure that's why Hojo did it in the first place, to see if he could breed his next generation of super-SOLDIERs, or something. Why do it only to SOLDIERs who were in relationships with other SOLDIERs, after all?
Oh my. Jenova's grandchild. I don't think I really thought of it in that context. That will make things...very interesting indeed...
no subject
And bingo! Hojo is curious what would happen if you could bred SOLDIERs.
Course...there -is- a reason why they don't just make female SOLDIERs in the first place. *cackles*
And, well, Seph carries an insane level of Jenova cells. Would make sense that those get passed along to his child. And Zack's got his own set of them, even if it's not nearly the amount of Seph.
*cackles evily*
no subject
Having to be the one who's got it all together at the same time that his body's been taken over for yet another freaky Hojo science experiment? For months? With what's basically a partially alien parasite visibly growing inside his body?
Poor, POOR Zack. I hope Seph crunches Hojo up into tiny little bits. And that they run into Aeris soon!
o-omg. Cloud also had preliminary injections though not the whole Soldier workup, right? Cloud would be even more traumatized, what with the huge self-esteem issues and the kicked-puppyness...
no subject
And Zack is very much unhappy with Hojo for what the man has done to him. Even if Seph has to hold him down for Zack, Zack's going to kick him in the balls. A lot.
*snickers* Everyone keeps rooting for a girl Cloud. I find that hilarious.
Maybe I should do another version of this idea, only with the foursome already in place. *ponders the idea*
no subject
Cloud's got the life experience with being bullied into dresses; he could give Zack some Aeris-survival advice. Of course, Aeris-survival advice mostly goes "just nod, because fighting back never does any good, and the sooner you surrender the sooner you can get it over with and get back out of the makeup and pantyhose -- you wouldn't believe how unpleasant pantyhose can make themselves." But still, they could be moral support for each other. XD Not to mention there's a reason Artimusdin's "Still the Prettiest" Cloud icon is so hilariously appropriate! XDDD
no subject
He does. And I still have such bunnies for a girled up Cloud. *grins* He keeps giving me such indignant looks. It's so cute. And now he's glaring at me.
