Zack learns the hard way

 

Early morning was Zack's least favorite part of the day. It meant waking up to reality. It meant remembering. It also meant having to worry about Cloud and Cloud's needs, and the blond had a lot of needs. It frustrated Zack sometimes, that he barely had time to take care of himself once he was up and coupled with the other stresses of the up coming day, it overwhelmed him sometimes. He'd come close to losing several times, had lost it once before (But he wasn't going to think about that because it was stupid and spiteful and cruel and it was never going to happen again).

But on the lighter side, early mornings also meant the ever embarrassing and uncontrollable morning wood. More then once he'd woken up poking poor Cloudy in the back with it. Of course that wasn't too much of a problem, usually it went away on it's own though sometimes he had to take care of it. That really wasn't a big problem. No, the problem came with Cloud's little morning...issue. Cloud's huge terrible and awkward morning issue that Zack wasn't sure what to do with most of the time. Did he mention it was horribly awkward? Yeah.

Under normal circumstances it wouldn't be so bad, but of course these weren't normal circumstances and things could never be easy could they? He had too... touch it... too help Cloud relieve himself and if that wasn't the most awkward thing on Gaia. No wait, it wasn't. No, that title went to the one time (and only one time) that he had too... help spikey with it. It wasn't cause he was a perv or anything, he wasn't really. It was just...

It wouldn't go away and Zack had to do something cause that was really uncomfortable and maybe even painful and it make it hard to walk and it wasn't gay because sometimes guys did that right?

Breathe Zack.

Right, so other than that one morning that he would never mention to anyone ever, he- Wait. What was he talking about again? Um, well whatever. The point was, morning sucked. Sucked big stupid chocobo balls. He had never liked mornings and he never would and when this was all over and they we safe with Aerith, surrounded by warm knitted blankets and yummy cooking and pies, he would never get up before noon again. Ever.
