" it's been a while since i slept through the night without any nightmares. "

"Then my home's doing it's job, eh?" Zack flashed Seph a bright smile as he set down breakfast plates for the two of them. Though the day had hardly started it was already feeling like it'd be a good one. Neither of them had horrid dreams keeping them awake all night for once and that alone deserved celebration.

He turned back to the kitchen to retrieve his coffee. "Do you want some coffee too?"

[ interrupt ] sender stops a confrontation between receiver and someone else, stepping between them and coming to receiver's defense

[ feeling safe prompts ]

Though he was much more cool-headed now, there were still moments of impulsivity that got to him. He was an ill-timed breath away from drawing his sword when an even larger figure than his own stepped in front of him.

Right. Violence wouldn't solve anything right now.

"I'm... I'll be okay, Sephiroth." Zack placed a hand on his friend's shoulder and gave a weary smile. "I appreciate it though."

At this point, the closet sounded tempting.

Zack crosses his arms, head lolling to the side until it tapped Sephiroth's. "Sounds cramped."

Screw it. The cameras probably already found them. Even if he was to hide away in a closet, there would be footage of him going into said closet to nap which would make him look even worse. Instead, better make the best of what he's got.

"Well, the room's booked for the rest of the afternoon." Originally he was planning on training until he couldn't anymore, but this was a much better use of his time. "No one said we have to use it for its intended purpose."

As he nudges Sephiroth's shoulder again, he holds up the environmental simulation controller. "Digital beach vacation?"

As if he'd ever deny Sephiroth rest.

"Duh." Zack knocks their shoulders together. Honestly though, who was going to rat them out? One of the Second classes? A Third? Being highest up in the military pecking order truly had it's perks.

With a sigh, he runs a hand through his hair. "Think we could find a part of the building that doesn't have security cameras? I could use a nap."

- cellphone

Zack refuses to upgrade to a smartphone. He is so used to a flip phone that a smartphone confuses him. This lends him to a particular texting style of typing as short as possible and ignoring punctuation or spelling. He also tends towards simple/old-school emoticons like ":-)" and "D:".

With a sigh, he runs a hand through his hair. "Think we could find a part of the building that doesn't have security cameras? I could use a nap."

The exhaustion hung over the entire department, and no amount of encouraging words could lift it. There simply wasn't enough operatives for the amount of missions they had and the new ones weren't good enough yet.

"Mmm." Zack leans against the wall and closes his eyes. Though, with a grin, he puts a finger to his lips. "If Lazard is looking for me, you haven't seen me."

Zack knocks on the door of the facility with nary a warning before he enters. They were all pushing themselves too far lately, but Sephiroth was particularly going too far.

"Hey." He kneels down next to his friend and hands him a nice cold sports drink. Zack smiles softly. "I've got some protein bars if you need some."

Breathless, worn out, tired, he let his body sink down against the wall of the training facility.

Perhaps he was driving himself too hard lately...
