He had plenty of warning- the sound of running feet and his own name called out- but when Marlene hit his back, instinct took over and he flipped the girl over his shoulder. Only a fast grab saved her from hitting the ground headfirst. The girl laughed and wriggled out of his grasp, leaving Sephiroth to try to still his drumming his heart.

On the front stoop, Cloud said nothing, but Sephiroth knew the younger man had caught his mistake. Sighing, he followed Marlene inside, muttering as he passed the doorway, "Just one of many habits I need to break."

Author's Notes: For prompt: alternate universe. Follows Brothers in Soldier, and I have a sneaking suspicion there will be more along this vein. -_-

It was a shock that Colonel Aeris was actually shorter than him. Cloud stood at rigid attention and tried not to look like he was boggling; for her part, the diminutive Colonel paid him no more heed than she paid the taller members of his unit.

"That's all. Dismissed!"

The others broke ranks and left; Cloud lingered, checking the roster for a free practice room. "Still got energy to burn, huh?" the Colonel said behind him.

Cloud managed not to jump. "Ma'am! I- need the practice."

Aeris grinned, and suddenly that slight, green-eyed girl seemed as menacing as a dragon.

Title: Work Expenses

Series: na
Author's Notes: Frilly Apron.

Straightening the crumpled papers Tseng raised an eyebrow in annoyance. Reno just smiled.

"Gum. Smokes. Shoe polish. Frilly apron? ...Frilly apron? Never mind. Condoms?" The Turk leader looked at the redhead in disbelief before resuming the list of claimed ‘expenses’. "What the hell is from XR Inc? Reno, what are you charging to the company?"

Again, Reno just smiled. Tseng glanced up at him, noting the smile and almost growled. "I want an answer, not a smile."

"Everything I put on the form is something that helps me with work."

“Bad habits are not to be charged to the company.”

I couldn't avoid the idea of Zack making a mess of things at the dinner table... I'm sure there's something to be written about the situation with Aeris in the picture, but this bit is with my favorite boys.

Author's Notes: chicken butt.

"Gloves again?" The long haired man didn't even need to look up, knowing the response would be a slight nod. "How is it you habitually go through gloves so fast?"

Rude's response was to drop the most recent pair onto the desk in front of Tseng.

His eyes grew large in surprise for a moment, the pair before him were covered in what could only be dried blood. He was sure that there was something a bit more solid than fluids in the creases. Tseng now understood.

Rude signed the requisition form and slid the paper back across the desk.

Reno winced and tried surreptitiously to adjust his stiff collar. 'Remind me why we are doing this partner?' he whined.

'Because the boss said so,' said Rude with a sly smirk.

'Yeah, mock my pain. Just because it's OK for you. Why d'YOU get to be the priest an' I have to be the nun, hmmm?' he glared.

'Because you look like a girl and they don't make habits in my size. Now be quiet, there's our target....' muttered Rude, instantly alert.

The poor sucker scarcely knew what hit him, his last words being 'Wow, that's a really bad ha...'

Author's Notes: oh the kinda kink. they are MY bad habits.
( i love my habits...bad as they are )

Last week, Avalanche waltzed into the SOLDIER barracks intent on murder, spied the shiny trophy sitting on the mantle and made their escape with prize in hand with 100 points.  SOLDIER was not pleased or amused to find that their four week winning streak had come to such an abrupt end with only 30 points.  The Turks have no shame and no luck in getting their hands on that trophy.  They are quite pleased laying low with their 20 points.

This week's prompt is #60 - Bad Habit

We all have a bad habit or two.  This week, give the characters a bad habit.

Is Sephiroth a hair-twirler?  Does Reno throw his clothes on the floor?  Does Tseng chew his nails and leave them on the bedside table? Is Genesis a horrible gossip? How does Shera feel about Cid's smoking? Does Barret think nothing of swearing in front of children?  Does Tifa spit?  Does Zack talk with food in his mouth? Would Cloud adjust himself in public?

So give them a bad habit, but write it in just 100 words.
