I do not own Final Fantasy VII, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story.
Silence, silence anywhere?
Sorry if there are any typing errors, I'm trying my best.
Oki, this chapter is set a bit after the other one, and it’s in October.
I don’t own Final Fantasy … obviously.

Chapter 3 – Silence, silence anywhere?
Hojo grinned. Today would be a good day. Today would be an excellent day, but he clearly had to stop grinning. It was 7am and his wife was giving him a strange look. 7am is not a time to be smiling.
In their kitchen lay a present, wrapped in colourful paper. Inside the colourful paper? Vincent’s gift! And not even his wife knew what it was. He had another one under his bed, but his wife would never know about that one! He sniggered and pulled himself out of bed.

When Vincent woke up, he had an odd feeling. It wasn’t how he was used to waking up. Usually it was a baby screaming, a phone ringing or someone shouting. Today, his alarm was going off. It was very odd. Usually someone called him way before 8am to get him into work early. Being second in command wasn’t exactly fun. Neither was being a near 24-hour babysitter.
The young man sat up, and froze. His head was swimming around all over the place. He had a headache.
“Must have had too much sleep.” He grumbled, but moodiness was difficult. It was his birthday, and he felt a strange urge run to his door and check to see if he had received any cards in his post.
Vincent grinned, he could remember doing that every birthday when he was little. He would sit on the stairs from 6am and wait, and then when the post finally came (usually about 3 hours later) he would run around screaming. It was surprising his parents didn’t get really irritated each time. However, they had always been wonderful. His father was a scientist, so he was usually at work. His mother had been a teacher, so she had spent a lot of her time with other children. Vincent had never seen them much, but he nearly always got to spend loads of time with them on his birthday! Excluding the time he spent in school.
The cold fingers of nervousness crept up Vincent’s spine as he realised that as it was his 21st, he probably wouldn’t just get a few mumbled ‘happy birthday’s. Especially not as Shin-Ra and his other bosses had been grinning every time he came in the room.
Hopefully, they weren’t plotting anything too bad!

Hojo dawdled around the office, making sure everything was in order. Lu had gone to put Sephy in the nursery, so someone had to keep people in line. He had decided he was just the man to do this! He wasn’t too fussed about a party for a 1-year-old baby, but Vincent was 20 years ahead of that! He was well aware of what happened around him and therefore Hojo was determined his best friend’s party would be wonderful. Even if the real party didn’t start till about 10pm, as his wife had forbidden any alcohol here. She had even intimidated the president into agreeing to the no alcohol rule; something which should not be easily dismissed, as Shin-Ra was on the verge of being an alcoholic!
Vincent would go see little Sephy at lunchtime anyway. He always did, and a bit of peace and quiet wouldn’t go far amiss with what would be happening here.
XXX
A few hours later, Vincent could be found sitting in the nursery talking to Sephiroth.
“ They really are wonderful, but it’s so exhausting. I think I might just go home now. I haven’t got any work today, they made sure of that! Which is all good, but I wish they hadn’t sung happy birthday to me quite so loudly. It’s so embarrassing, I’m not used to it!!”
He sighed and put his head in his hands. They had been messing around and playing games for ages. The young man was, understandably, tempted to just go home and read a book, and then see what his gifts were.
He picked up the child, and his bags, and walked over to the desk. Putting his stuff down, he signed the little boy out.

Lu smiled. Her husband was sleeping at work, but she was sure he had kept his word about having no alcohol, as no one was vomiting in a corner.
Vincent had given her a quick call over the internal lines to say he was going back to his apartment, and had taken Sephy with him. She was glad the 2 got along so well, it made her life so much easier!
XXX
Vincent collapsed onto his bed. Sephiroth wiggled out of his arms and crawled over to the pillows.
Vincent sat up, and looked around. He had presents to open, and it appeared he had a silver-haired angel sleeping in a ball at the top of his bed. A soft smile graced his lips and he quietly picked up his bag and emptied it onto the bottom of his bed.
He shifted his legs so they were on his bed too, and began removing paper of whatever it was Lu had given him.
XXX
A few hours later, Vincent was fast asleep next to Sephiroth. On the floor, he had a bunch of chocolate and a few books from Hojo (including a book his wife probably didn’t know he had bought), some videos of Lu, and some more general junk.
But Vincent was perfectly happy to have just spent his time with good people. Not that he cared at the moment, as he happily dreamed his Vincentish dreams.
But he had the joy, later on of getting drunk and waking up with no recollection of what had happened at the evening party Hojo arranged. Well, he woke up with that and Lu’s hard glare.

Oki, that is that! Sorry I took so long to update.
Please review so I know what you think!!
