Baby!Angeal confiding in Seph that he always wanted a dog, but his family could simply not afford to take care of one when he was growing up.
Sephiroth tells him that circumstances always change.
Heartened by his friend’s words, Angeal asks if Seph likes dogs.
Seph says he is indifferent.
Angeal huffs out a laugh, making a comment that Seph has a good heart; he would probably make for a good companion to one. He then adds that maybe the three of them could get a dog once they return to Midgar, once the war quells a bit.
Sephiroth merely grunts in response.
“…If you get yourself a dog,” he says neutrally, a wisp of a memory that he would rather be forgotten, “then it is all yours.”
“Come on. You would help, wouldn’t you?”
“I don’t see why it’s my responsibility.”
“Well… think about this.” Angeal crosses his arms behind his neck, gazing dreamily at the pepper of stars overhead. “If I couldn’t take care of it, then I would want someone I trust to at least keep an eye on my pup.”
“Why not Genesis?”
“Well—him too. If he learned how to handle his spells better.”
“…Heh.”
“I’m serious though, Sephiroth.” Angeal rolls his head aside to face him, velvet grass scissoring in the wind like dancing swords. “If I ever—or… When I get a dog, that is, would you help me take care of the guy?”
Sephiroth lets out a playful huff.
Though he never gets to respond before there’s the wail of a siren, and the two SOLDIERs are back in the thick of war.
~~~
Years later~
“Seph!”
There’s hardly any time to react before young arms are wrapping around him, a healthy and exuberant Zack Fair smiling like the sun as he pulls him into an embrace.
Three days away on a mission, however, and that’s enough for Sephiroth to return it.
“Welcome back…” he says fondly, then adding with a soft smile upon seeing the dirt spattering Zack’s face: “Go get cleaned up, then let’s get something to eat.”
