One day, while jamming out to his headphones, a strange concept popped into Genesis's mind.

He should throw a tea party. He did run a coffee shop, right? There's plenty of tea to spare. It seemed like a rational idea.

He'd just get Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz to be the servers, and then he and his friends could have a peaceful chat about interesting goings-on. He'd invite Sephiroth and Tseng and Vincent and that cute talking cat and Angeal and…wait, he hadn't seen Angeal since he opened the café, had he? The party would be a great place to catch up!

Genesis hummed as he worked on the invitations (fabulously pink with cursive heart font).

At the tea party~

The six manly men (and cat) were seated around a round table in Genesis's house. Five of them had looks of disbelief on their face, the last one was smiling as if pleased, gaily trying to make conversation at the manly pink table. (go ahead and laugh)

"So why haven't I seen you at the café, Angeal?" Genesis asked.

Angeal gave his friend a look and said, "I've been gone on assignment the past few weeks. Did you really not notice?"

Genesis's smile froze. He'd just been so busy lately… "Tea!" he called to the kitchen behind him.

"I'm comin', I'm comin'!" Kadaj said irritably, bursting through the twin swinging doors that lead to the kitchen. He was dressed in a black halfskirt with leather Capris underneath and a leather tank top. Very fashionable for Midgar, I swear.

Loz, dressed in a suit and tie, announced, "Craps are on the way, too!" as he followed behind Kadaj.

"That's crepe." Yazoo corrected, using his hips to hold open the door . A few eyebrows were raised at his outfit; it was one of those standard maid/waitress black dresses with white lace and an apron. Everyone present knew how Sephiroth's adopted sons looked, since he showed everyone their pictures, but it took even the genius Tseng a moment to recognize Yazoo and for it to process in his brain that Sephiroth's son is a crossdresser.

Yazoo took in the situation during the awkward silence, and pulled Genesis into the kitchen.

"You didn't tell me Sephiroth would be here!" Yazoo whisper-yelled at the redhead.

"You didn't tell me you were dressing up!" Genesis replied similarly.

"All you said was to dress nice and serve tea! This dress was 70% off!" Yazoo protested.

"I didn't make you wear it!" Genesis said, getting frustrated for getting the blame from Yazoo.

Feeling humiliated, Yazoo's mouth quivered as he held in tears. There's no way he could face Sephiroth like this!

Seeing the trauma in the questionable teen's face, Genesis relented. "If Sephiroth gives you a hard time later, I'll take the blame, okay? He would never comment on it now, in the middle of the party."

With that, they rejoined the festivities...the not-so-festive ones.

While Genesis and Yazoo were discussing things in the kitchen, Angeal, Sephiroth, Tseng, Vincent, and Nanaki were chatting~

"So did you notice I was gone?" Angeal asked Sephiroth, who was seated on the other side of Nanaki.

"Not at all." Sephiroth replied coolly, sipping his tea and not bothering to come up with an excuse.

"I…see." Angeal sighed and looked up at the ceiling, contemplating the significance of his meager life.

"So, what do you think of the weather, Tseng?" Nanaki asked, feeling a bit awkward since the table was made up of almost all 'strong, silent types'.

"It's too hot." Tseng said as he raised his teacup to his lips as a signal that he would like to end the conversation now.

Another silence rang about the room.

"You guys are all too damn boring!" Kadaj yelled impatiently, his skirt swaying slightly as he rested his hands on his hips.

"And what do you suppose we do to remedy that?" Vincent said nonchalantly, stirring sugar into his coffee.

"How the hell am I supposed to know! Geez, I don't even know why you guys even have fangirls! You barely talk and you're always serious." Kadaj huffed, spun around on his heel, and walked back into the kitchen. "I'm gonna go see what's keeping Genny and Yazoo out so long."

Just as he was reaching the swinging door, Genesis and Yazoo decided to open them. The collision and ensuing 'fuck! That HURT' from Kadaj moved the party guests' minds a little farther from the topic of Yazoo's crossdressing.

Unfortunately, as soon as Yazoo stepped back out into the room, all eyes (and minds) were on him.

Yazoo, feigning embarrassment, said, "Is there something on my face?" as he went around filling people's teacups with a forced grimace/smile on his face.

"None of you even care about my face! You guys are a bunch of hobags!" Kadaj screamed, throwing a tantrum to vent the pain of the giant bruise on his forehead. "Fuck you guys! I'm moving to Switzerland!"

A silence ensued as Kadaj noisily stomped back into the kitchen to get some ice.

"I had a dream one time Kadaj moved to Switzerland…" sniffed Loz, afraid that his brother was serious.

"Don't fret, Loz! Switzerland isn't even real in this world! That's like those otaku out there saying they're gonna move to Midgar!" Yazoo comforted. And, seeing an escape route, said, "I'll go make sure Kadaj doesn't move on to another magic place in the sky mountains."

When the brothers had exited the room, Kadaj and Yazoo by means of the door and Loz in the fashion of a five-year-old lost in an imaginary world, there was a brief silence before the question was raised.

In that silence, Vincent went batty and flew away on skeletal wings. (it happens sometimes to vampires when they need to laugh more)

"Ah, Sephiroth...?" Nanaki began to inquire.

"Was that Yazoo…?" Angeal continued.

"In a dress…?" Tseng finished.

Sephiroth set his tea down in a very regal manner and almost answered, just before Genesis interjected.

"Don't be too hard on him! Kids his age are just experimenting, and…" Oh no, he was losing steam, "and if you're harsh they'll get worse and…get pregnant and…die!" Genesis kept blabbering, but at that point his explanations and excuses could only get worse.

"That sounds like something a bad high school coach would say." Tseng commentated, sensing that he was now merely a spectator of the drama.

"I though Sephiroth only had sons… How could he get pregnant? This isn't some creepy fanfic." Nanaki mused.

"I feel rather neglected." Angeal said, and left the room. Needless to say, nobody noticed, since Genesis had stopped blabbering strange excuses and it looked like Sephiroth may just get a chance to speak.

Sighing, Sephiroth readied himself for speaking…

"Hey, look! A butterfly!" Loz cried. Everyone shot him a look, and even though his atmosphere sensors were underdeveloped, he had the instinctual sense to stay quiet for the room of professional fighters.

"As I was saying…" Sephiroth began, and the listeners held their breath. "I already knew of Yazoo's…hobbies. If it bothers you guys…" He said, hand on his sword's holster. "I can take care of your problems…such as being alive."

The room went cold with icy aura.

"Heh." Sephiroth chuckled. Whether he meant he was joking or he really got a kick out of scaring his acquaintances, the world may never know. As far as prudence, it is always best to stay on the safe side.

So don't question the…hobbies of Sephiroth's kids.

(A/N) hahaha~

Sorry for the super-delayed update, broskis~

I expect to continue this…little escapade.
