WHERE ARE ALL THE KIDS goodness

[bothourlives]

...Of course I miss them.

Doesn't mean I want them caught up in all the weird things that happen on the ship though. Probably better if they stay home with Tifa.

[He's used to lectures, he thinks he can handle Tifa if he handled Angeal's lectures all those years.]

You're such a "no" person, Cloud.

[bothourlives]

[I dunno man, girls are scary.]

Maybe you just say "yes" too much.

[weallfalldown]

[Okay, you're right. Tifa can be terrifying, but all he needs to do is zone out a little and the threat is gone. He is a good listener. But he can also look like a good listener too.]

Nuhuh, see what I did there? I said no. Like you do all the time.

"No" people are sad, Cloud. You don't want to be one of them.

[bothourlives]

[He's really got no room to talk in a way. How many sidequests could have been avoided if he'd just put his foot down?]

I don't say it all the time.

...And I'm not sad.

[weallfalldown]

[What was that about dolphins, Cloud?]

There you go, you're on your first step to not being a "no" person. I'm proud of you.

[bothourlives]

[It was that or be electrocuted!!]

Shut up, Zack.

[But there's a touch of affection there, not quite so huffy.

Honestly this was about the mildest teasing he'd received from his friend. ARE YOU OKAY BRO?]

[weallfalldown]

[Suuuuuure. That's what they all say.]

You know I can't. [He might die if he did.

But it's probably because of the kid thing, man. He gets that. He'd like kids too, even if he has none to miss.]

When have I ever stopped talking, huh?

[bothourlives]

[You're just jealous Mr. Dolphin isn't your friend.]

[He could name a few times. That are hideous and terrible.

He won't, though. It's much better having decent conversation. AND WE NEED AT LEAST ONE THAT DOESN'T SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL.]

Never. Maybe there's something wrong with you.

[weallfalldown]

You know, my mom never got me tested. Maybe they just let me pass through those ShinRa tests because they didn't care about what I had so long as I could fight.

[Country boys don't get tested out in the boonies.]

What do you think?

[bothourlives]

They didn't test for much of anything.

[Now that warrants a bit of a... bitter scoff. Being a willing victimparticipant was pretty much enough for ShinRa.

I mean really, years later Cloud still sucked.]

Doubt talking too much was on the list though.

[weallfalldown]

Well I get pretty distracted too, but you're right.

[ShinRa was pretty shitty. Employing thirteen year old kids.] Dangerous hair wasn't on the list either or you'd have been out of there.

[bothourlives]

[WE NEEDED ADULTS.

WE STILL NEED ADULTS.]

...Yours is worse.

I am being distracted by this silent film so sorry if my tags are really shitty >>

[weallfalldown]

[THIS IS SO TRUE.]

Have you looked at your hair lately? Every possible angle I could poke my eye out on it.

Mine's just slicked back.

lmao, you're fine bb <3

[bothourlives]

[...are we seriously having this debate.]

It's still spiky. And longer.

[weallfalldown]

So? Just in the back. [Like a hedgehog.]

Yours is an all around danger zone!

[bothourlives]

Doesn't stop you from messing it up all the time. So I guess it's not that dangerous.

[weallfalldown]

No, I can just withstand it.

SOLDIER hands, you know? [He is so ridiculous. Why are you even friends with him, Cloud?]

Regular people better watch out.

[bothourlives]

[He asks himself that every day.]

Don't be ridiculous.

[It doesn't bother Serah! ...she does wear gloves though most of the time hmm.

The chocobo chicks don't mind it! They nest in his hair for naps quite frequently.

YEAH.]

That doesn't make sense.

[weallfalldown]

I am being serious, Cloud.

I think you might have to shave it all off. It's a safety hazard.

[bothourlives]

There's nothing wrong with my hair.

[weallfalldown]

It goes against the code, Cloud.

Gotta shave it. Sorry buddy. [He clicks his tongue and shakes his head, looking sorry for him.] I can go get the scissors if you want me to.

[bothourlives]

[He is...

NOT BELIEVING THAT FOR A SECOND. Not even one. Nope.]

You're not coming near me with scissors.

...that's dangerous.

[weallfalldown]

Have you ever cut your hair Cloud? How did it look when you were a kid?

[bothourlives]

[I have no idea whether to believe he looks this ridiculous because he hacks his hair off himself or that he pays someone else to do it.

NEXT QUESTION.]

It was longer. Had a ponytail.

[And it was cool. Even if it was pretty much exactly like his mom's hair.]

[weallfalldown]

Awww, that's cute.

So it was all fluffy like that except you had a little mullet in the back you tied back for a ponytail? [Cloud with a mullet...Totally Nibel-style.]
