Author's Notes: Here's hoping Rude doesn't kill me for spilling...

Rude kept it in the farthest corner of his closet most of the time. He only ever unearthed it when he was feeling particularly horrible and knew he'd be alone.

He'd sat this mission out, having been taken down by an incredibly nasty bug that sapped his energy and had him so congested he couldn't breathe well enough to move faster than a walk. When the snowstorm came through, shutting down all transportation, he'd thought he was safe.

That's how Reno came home to find Rude huddled under thick blankets, surrounded by used tissues, clutching a bright purple stuffed chocobo.

Author's Notes: I haven't yet played Crisis Core, so I'm just hoping that this isn't screwing with timelines.

Usually I LOVED partying with Zack. With the problems in Wutai, any time Angeal's Puppy was around was an excuse to get trashed.

Not this time, yo. Kid WOULD get back when this...THING was going around. I was trying to sleep it off when he pounded on my door and bounced in. Then he realized I was still in the doorway, wrapped in a blanket, swaying and sniffling.

"Reno, what's wrong?"

Before I could answer, a fit of loud, wet sneezes ambushed me.

Next thing I knew, I was tucked into bed. Kid's as enthusiastic about caregiving as partying.
