Pairings: SephirothxZackxCloud
Summary: There are some arguments that are better left unheard, especially if it’s Zack and Cloud fighting.

It wasn’t often that Zack and Cloud fought. They were usually two peas in a pod, too similar in their likes and dislikes. So when a screaming match started between the two, it was a given that everyone turned to see what was going on.

Who would throw the first punch? Money was exchanged, bets were shared, and a large group formed around the two in the hall. Cloud, puffed up and looking like a flustered chocobo, shoved his hands on his hips, turned his nose in the air and hissed that Zack was an idiot.

Outraged that their argument had gone to name calling, Zack made a grab at Cloud and someone further in the crowds shouting to throw a punch – he had a lot of money running on this fight, but Zack froze as a looming General appeared between Cloud and him, blocking his grabby hand from taking Cloud’s tense arms. Awkwardly, Zack looked up and tried to make light of the situation, “What abs you got General.” For added effect, he squeezed the man’s tummy, earning a grunt and a roll of laughter from the crowd.

“What’s going on here?”

“Disagreement, sir.”

“About.”

That drew silence from the dark haired man and a flustered look from Cloud, who was trying to hide in his stiff uniform. The crowds brought out their own speculations – from what movies the two wanted to sexual explicit thoughts. Not that Sephiroth cared what any of them had to think as he turned to the more likely to speak. Blue eyes looked up, shifting nervously as Cloud watched the towering General. “Strife?”

“It’s n-nothing. Like Zack said, sir, we’re having a disagreement.”

“I’d prefer that there be no fighting between my men, verbal or otherwise. If it was important enough to draw a crowd, I’d like to know.”

Again Cloud shifted before looking at his feet almost defeated, “Well…”

“No Cloud-!” Zack cried out.

“Zack said I couldn’t top you because I’m too girlish!”

“You are! Let the real men take care of you!”

“I’m not a girl! I’m a guy too! Tell him I top you once in awhile!”

“Don’t force him to say stuff just because I know the truth! I top you too!”

“Zack-Idiot!”

“Chocobo-doll!”

With less confidence in his step, Sephiroth abandoned the two to fight in the hall. If it weren’t for the fact that he loved those idiots he’d kill them both for ruining his image.
