Family

“Okay, this is your room here. Feel free to decorate it anyway you want.” Cloud grinned. “Let me know, and we can even paint it whatever you want. Can go shopping later for actual things like bedding and such as well.”

As Cloud continued to talk, Zack just blinked and followed. Then he grinned. Cloud was a soft touch. A shoulder to cry on if he actually wanted to. This…was going to be an interesting situation. Everyone knew that the softies were the best marks.

Zack paused and yanked the way his brain was taking that and sat on it. He wasn’t having to do that any more. He didn’t have to beg to survive; he didn’t have to figure out who would give the most money with his sad expression and large eyes.

It was a startling revelation. He didn’t have to take care of himself anymore. Cloud was going to do that.

He had a family.

It was an odd feeling. After a moment of feeling it, he just went up and silently hugged Cloud. The man paused, and then petted Zack’s hair.

“Come on, let’s get you settled.”

Sometimes it just takes a bit of "Oh, fuck" for it to kick in. Cute, isn't it?

[artimusdin.livejournal.com]

For some reason my brain had images of Plushie Zack in Chibi Zack's place the whole time, mitten-hand in mouth kind of shyly chewing, and when he toddled up and glomped onto Cloud, he was hitting approximately ankle level. And it was just about the cutest thing ever. ♥ Glad we've gotten to some of the nontraumatic ones!
