19th Combo - [Video]

[There's a huge grin on Lloyd's face, the kind of grin you only give when you're pleased and excited and everything is right in the world, or when something amazing is happening.]

Hey, everyone! Guess who's officially an adult today!

[That's right, it's his birthday - or the one that he and Dirk celebrate. The only one he's ever known, so the only one that counts as far as he's concerned.]

Oh, yeah, by the way, Kanaya, I finished that necklace for you! When do you wanna meet up?

[He... hasn't realized yet that Kanaya is gone. Late with your gifts again, Lloyd. Always late. :/ ]

But man, I've been looking forward to this birthday so much! Now that I'm eighteen, I don't have to go back to school!

Man, I hope I never see him get drunk, then.

[A slight pause.]

Huh. I can't even imagine Kratos being clumsy. He's just one of those people who's always in control of himself, you know?

Trust me, you don't want to. It's messy.

[A nod; oh, he knows.]

Yeah, I know the type. My best friend's the same kinda guy, but when he gets drunk...he's just like a sack of flour or something. Can barely sit up straight, let alone walk. It's kinda funny, actually.

What do you do when he's like that? Do you have to carry him home?

[Video]

[couldnotfly.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Carry him home and put him to bed, then get out of there fast. He doesn't remember the drinking in the morning, but he sure gets grumpy when he wakes up with a hangover.

[And a grumpy General of ShinRa is a terrible thing to be around. Probably worse than Kratos at times.]

[Okay, now Lloyd is trying to picture himself carrying Kratos home.

Snrk.]

He'd probably be pretty grumpy if he realized you carried him home, too.

[Ah, the lovely mental images. Zack's struggling to not burst out laughing at the moment. Good memories, these.]

Nah, he found out the next morning when someone told him. He was a little grumpy about it, but I think it was his pride being hurt or something. He didn't glare me into a hole or anything like he usually would.

[snicker. It's obvious Zack's not afraid of that.]

Re: [Video]

If he ever does get really mad at you, you can always hide out at my place.

[He wouldn't mind having a friend spend the night, and yeah, he wants Zack to stay alive.]

[Video]

[couldnotfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Lloyd. I appreciate it. You know you can do the same, right? Anything happens and you need a place to hide, just gimme a call.

[He means that; friends have each others backs, after all.

And Zack kinda wants to stay alive, too. Running into the desert to escape an angry General might not be the best idea to do that.]

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Definitely!

[Lloyd grins, appreciating the offer for all it's worth. He wants to stay alive, too, and he's glad he has friends who want to help.]

Anyway, I've got some birthday shopping to do. I'll see you later, okay, Zack?

[Video]

[couldnotfly.livejournal.com]

[Birthday shopping, huh? Well, far be it from Zack to keep a friend from that wondrous occasion. He'll just grin wide now.]

You bet! Now get going. Day's young, but you gotta make the most of it.

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah. Bye, Zack!

[He flashes his friend a thumbs up sign, still grinning. Then he turns the Dreamberry off.]
