[Lili has carefully prepared dinner for Zack and Cloud, wanting to surprise the latter with a birthday dinner on top of his pies. It's only right, as she's late in wishing him a happy birthday. But she also can't wait to see her two favorite guys. It's been a while since they've spent time together, and she can't wait to

Cloud's Birthday Dinner

[futurefab]

[bblineface]

[Cloud's a little late but he's here, as promised. Zack isn't with him though, but knowing him, he probably isn't far behind anyway.]

Lili? Not sure when Zack will be here. You said you had something for me?

[action]

[soldierboy777]

[Surprise! Zack's right behind you, Spike. He was hoping to get there earlier so he could snag some pie, but oh well. So long pie, he hardly knew ye.]

Hey, Lili! Look, got your guest of honor right here! [HAIR RUFFLES FOR CLOUD~]

[action]

[futurefab]

[Hearing the boys come in, Lili pokes her head out of the kitchen while wiping her hands on a towel. Seeing both of them she smiles and hurries over to hug them both. Sorry, Cloud, you'll have to deal with more hair ruffling.]

You both made it! I'm relieved. I began to wonder just what I would do if you didn't come. Come on, see what I made for you!

[She's totally dragging them both to the table now, where six pies are cooling. When she knew Zack was coming she made an extra for him.]

I heard it was your birthday recently, Cloud. Happy Birthday.

[bblineface]

[He's used to the hair ruffles. His brain is permanently rattled as a result. Must be why it doesn't think beyond pie.]

...

[But this... THIS! Cloud kind of likes. Really likes. Six pies for his birthday?]

You went through a lot of trouble.. you didn't have to.

[He didn't feel any different after his birthday and he was surprised anyone even knew. He didn't remember telling anyone about it.]

Thank you, Lili. [That put a smile back on his face and then the impossible happened, he reached out to pull her into half of a hug.] Can I have them now?

[action]

[soldierboy777]

[Zack grins at Cloud's surprised expression, chuckling to himself when he immediately goes for the pie. Good thing the guy wasn't really a chocobo. They don't get pie.]

Hey, make sure you save one for me, right? Or at least a bite.

[Or they can share. Cough cough. He tries not to think about that and turns to Lili.]

You really went all out! Did you make all this yourself?

[action]

[futurefab]

I know I didn't need to, but I wished to make something for you. Even if it's late, the day is still important.

[She was going to say something else when he hugged her, and that rendered her speechless from the shock. She pulled him into a full-on hug; Cloud couldn't get away with just a slight one with her.]

I made dinner as well, but go ahead.

[She nods to Zack as well.]

It's much easier now that I have a place of my own. Do you like it? There's room if both of you would like to stay.

[And she leans closer then, whispering to Zack;] I hid a pie for you in the kitchen, just in case.

[soldierboy777]

[Oh Cloud. Such a ladies' man. Zack grinned in approval, especially at Lilisette's whispering. All riiiiiiight! Man, she knew them too well.

He gives a thumbs up and another grin in reply, in case Cloud heard him. Sneaky pie thief.]

That's an awesome offer, Lili. Me and Cloud have been world-hopping so much that we haven't even thought about staying somewhere, heh. [Turns to Cloud] You like it here, right? [Then adds teasingly - ] But I bet you'd rather live with the pirates.

[action]

[futurefab]

Tell me about it!

[She's been world hopping too much recently, too. This is her present to herself, for working so much.]

Where all have you two been?
