POV: Angeal

ABBREVIATE

Angeal liked days like these. Sephiroth and Genesis were out of town, so there was no chaos to interrupt his calm and it was guaranteed to remain that way without the resident corruptors. Zack was behaving well and helping Cloud with his homework in the living room.

He had cooked the two growing boys a nice meal after they had spent the afternoon sparring. Cloud even seemed much calmer as he relaxed on the couch with his books on his lap.

He was proud of both Cloud and Zack; they were progressing so quickly in their respective studies. He was sure he could request Zack to become a First Class soon and Cloud was showing great promise in all areas of his studies. He was sure to make SOLDIER within a year.

"What else do you have to finish?" he heard Zack ask from the living room.

Cloud sighed heavily and there was a thump of a book hitting the coffee table. "I got this part, but I can't remember what he asked me to do for the assignment."

"Didn't he leave a note?" Zack asked and Angeal heard the shuffling of paper. "Don't they usually write out assignment sheets?"

"Well, he did, but …" Cloud's voice trailed off as he let out another sigh. "I'm not sure what he means by this," Cloud finally said.

"Let me see," Zack said.

Angeal suddenly heard laughter erupt and the sound of something hitting the floor. He looked into the living room to see Zack as the one who had fallen to the floor. He was laughing so hard there were tears running down his cheeks.

"I don't think that's what he meant!" Cloud said from the couch, his pose defensive, and his cheeks were very pink. His legs and arms were solidly crossed and a stern, angry look was on his face. "It's not funny, Zack. "It's not my fault how he chooses to abbreviate things!" Cloud snapped at the man on the floor.

Angeal looked at Zack, who was still holding the piece of paper that had Cloud's assignment on it. Angeal bent down and tugged it from his fingers.

He read the homework sheet and let out a sigh before looking sternly back down at Zack, where he still lay on the floor. "You are spending too much time with Genesis," he accused. "This means Professor Marcus wants you to study the Functional Analysis of Materia and the Trade-offs, so get your mind out of the gutter Zack," Angeal said, aiming a kick at him. "'Fun Anal Trade-off's' is a required course," he continued with disdain.

"It is when Genesis teaches it," Zack howled.

Angeal continued to frown down at Zack until he stopped laughing. Cloud didn't look amused either as they watched him finally get up.

Angeal handed the paper back to Cloud. "You need to stay away from Genesis," Angeal said seriously. "And so do you." He pointed at Cloud.

"But he teaches the Functional Analysis of Materia class," Zack replied. "I have to take it from him." Zack blinked and started to giggle again.

"You're a pervert, Zack," Cloud complained.

"It's always hard in the beginning!" Zack nearly howled with laughter.

"Zack," Angeal adopted his best warning tone.

"Yes, Angeal?" Zack asked as he tried to suppress his giggling.

"If I hear any more tasteless jokes from you, I will kick you out for the rest of the evening," Angeal promised. He had gotten rid of the two who usually did such things to him and wasn't about to listen to it from this one.

Zack's smile grew again. "Well, then I will just have to sneak through the back door if that happens."

Cloud groaned and covered his face.

Angeal grabbed his puppy by the collar and hoisted him out into the hall before slamming the door in his face.

"Aw, come on Angeal," Zack yelled through the door. "You are being a real tight end." This was followed by more laughter from the hall.

Angeal frowned as he sat beside Cloud. "I will help you with your assignment," Angeal said ignoring the laughter from the hall.

Cloud gave him a worried look. "The Materia stuff right, not what Zack was saying?"

Angeal wondered why all the days that start off so well, always seemed to have a terrible ending.

I have to stop picking on Angeal! And In-erden-dos.
