Living

Life had a funny way of taking unexpected paths.

He hadn’t expected to meet Cloud.

He certainly hadn’t expected to be adopted by Cloud.

Or be given the training to fully optimize his more than human strengths.

He hadn’t expected to be good at the mercenary work Cloud had started up on an almost idle whim.

Hadn’t expected to be stab like that, either. That had hurt. Healers hadn’t expected him to be able to walk again. But he proved them wrong. Just like he did when he woke up after that fall when he was younger.

Hadn’t expected to like the twins or Seph enough to sleep with them.

Hadn’t expected to run into Aeris.

And he didn’t expect to find himself trapped like this, facing off against an insane mage with no place to run.

“You’re out of room, little mutt. What do you plan to do now?” The woman sneered at him.

Zack grinned.

“Life is full of detours,” he said, then flung himself off the edge of the wall, off the cliff. This time, he hoped things went just as he expected. As he felt claws catch him and then pull him tight against a familiar body, Zack couldn’t help but let out a joyful laugh.

This was what living was all about.

...Zack is crazy in ALL the universes, isn't he? ^__^

(scruffles his pointyfluffy head)

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm pretty sure that he is. But at least he's a fun crazy. *nods*

[artimusdin.livejournal.com]

*happy twitch* This? So kicks ass. Love how he's so certain that he'll be caught.

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

Of course he's certain he'll get caught. Those are his packmates and he trusts them with his life. *grins* A bit more -literally- in a few cases.

*L*

*Goes back to watching the synchronized Zack icons*

*grins* Awesome, isn't it?

Details, plz.

And again, it is proven that Zack is a batshit dork.

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

Hopefully as more themes get done, you'll see more. >.> I'm thinking about doing these for all the guys, one at a time.

And the thing Zack didn't count on? Being gangbanged into a wall for pulling a stupid stunt like that.

-snickers and pets-

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

Actually, knowing Zack, he was probably gleefully counting on that. Cause Zack is a perve.
