- angeal would be chasing everyone around with sunscreen, in which zack would absolutely be running around to avoid it just to make angeal’s job just a little bit harder! and genesis would be encouraging zack, but when its gen’s turn to get sunscreened he lets it happen, but he is flirting with angeal the entire time, also to make angeal’s life harder

- genesis would also be complaining about the sand the entire time, while also throwing some at sephiroth to make seph miserable too

- zack would be throwing cloud in the water while poor cloud is just trying to look at the shells by the shore

- zack would find a crab and start chasing everyone around with it, until he steps on a jellyfish and gets stung

- genesis and sephiroth would get cloud and zack to try burying angeal in the sand, overseeing it and designing the sandcastle on top of angeal

- sephiroth and zack would start sparring with the beach umbrellas, and sephiroth would also try sparring with cloud that way too when he sees cloud watching them

- zack would also dig a huge hole in the sand so they can all use it as the big cuddle spot for when they need to relax/eat

- cloud would be nervous and on edge the entire time he’s around sephiroth, so when they’re in the water sephiroth will just start splashing water to cloud to try getting him to loosen up a bit, and genesis will also be teasing cloud the whole time about how nervous cloud is around sephiroth

- zack would be horribly flirting with cloud the whole time just to embarrass cloud even more

They are spitting straight up facts.

How good and bad neighbors would they be and what to expect from them?

Angeal: Is a friendly and courteous neighbor. You might catch him gardening on the weekend. If you're REALLY lucky, you'll catch him mowing the lawn while shirtless. Angeal is a reliable neighbor who you can depend on. He'll watch the house for you while you're away, occasionally bring you homemade treats or leftovers, and always greets you whenever you pass by. All in all, he is the kind of neighbor everyone should have.

Genesis: Genesis is... honestly a pretty bad neighbor. He parties to loud music, has his millions of groupies parked all over the lot, is generally pretty combative and high-strung, and is almost always high or intoxicated on something. His yard is surprisingly neat, but only because Angeal is tending to it for him. He's exasperating to deal with, but you can also almost sense a kind of loneliness there as well. Maybe he lives like this because he can't stand the silence...

Sephiroth: Sephiroth is tidy and cordial. But he's almost never home. He's always out on business, or overseas. And he always returns super late at night. The other neighbors spread rumors that while he's handsome and mild-mannered enough, he's probably some sort of secret serial killer with a bunch of bodies in his basement. There are no bodies, of course. And Sephiroth only seems to wither under such gossip, withdrawing farther and farther away from the community. It isn't all doom and gloom though. On the weekends, his car can frequently be spotted parked in Angeal or Genesis' driveways.

Zack: As a neighbor, Zack is nosy, loud, rambunctious, and always shows up at the worst possible time. He seems to always invite himself inside your house and steal all your snacks. While making a terrible mess! He puts weird lawn ornaments all over his yard and tracks wet grass stains everywhere from overusing the slip-n-slide. But to his credit, you'll never find a more loyal neighbor. When your house got egged, he immediately jumped in his car to chase down the culprits. And made them apologize and clean up.

Dhdhhdhdhd THE BOX!!! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE EC FOR THAT!!! 😭😭😭

~

Upon learning of the splintery, precarious wooden box that served as Sephiroth’s childhood bed, the gang bands together to gift their friend something truly special:

Another box.

…Only THIS ONE is laden with all the things that they know Sephiroth loves <333

Angeal fills it with boxes of his favorite pasta shapes + packets of goldfish crackers

Genesis fills it with books by his favorite authors

Zack fills it with soft, squishy, velvety plushies

Cloud fills it with custom-made posters of Sephiroth w/his friends

How does AGSZ handle their friend/SO during this time of great suffering?

Tooth-rotting fluff it is:

Angeal: Doesn't even try to hide his worry. The moment he sees Cloud struggling, he's scooping him up like he weighs nothing, cradling him close with one arm and stroking his hair with the other. "I've got you," he murmurs over and over. When Cloud gets overwhelmed and starts crying uncontrollably, Angeal just holds him tighter, rocking him gently. If Cloud's feeling too sick to move, Angeal doesn't let him out of his sight, he keeps Cloud on his lap, wrapped up in his arms, occasionally kissing the top of his head and murmuring soft reassurances. If Cloud starts apologizing for being a burden, Angeal silences him with a firm but gentle hug and "You're not a burden, Cloud. Never."

Genesis: Acts like Cloud is a fragile, porcelain doll, fussing over him like it's a full-time job. "Poor thing, you're absolutely wrecked," he coos, wiping tears off Cloud's cheeks with the sleeve of his coat. He's all over the little comforts—Banora White slices with honey, warm tea, soft blankets. And if Cloud so much as whimpers, Genesis is immediately pulling him into his lap, cradling him like he's the most precious thing in the world. He constantly calls Cloud by affectionate nicknames like "my darling" while brushing his hair out of his face, sometimes even breaking into lullabies when Cloud can't seem to calm down. "It's alright, love. Let it out. You'll feel better," he whispers, all gentle smiles and feather-light touches.

Sephiroth: The moment he notices Cloud struggling with the mako injections, he establishes a strict but gentle routine to ensure Cloud feels secure and cared for. He organizes Cloud's day around what he thinks will keep him stable: meals, naps, and quiet time. Breakfast is non-negotiable, even if Cloud isn't hungry—Sephiroth will sit him down and patiently cuts up food into bite-sized pieces, and isn't afraid to spoon-feed him if need be. Naps are another part of Sephiroth's plan. He insists Cloud lay down after meals, bundling him up in blankets and laying beside him while he drifts off.

but it's sephiroth, right? sephiroth doesn't stay dead for long

so when he's alive, he's with cloud or chasing after cloud, but he doesn't stay alive for long, either

Zacks hyper mobile. His elbows do the thing where they bend to far out when he sticks them up. He can also touch his thumb completely to his wrist and crack his hips. Down side of this is so many broken bones.

Cloud has got little scars on the back of his hands and calf’s from various canings.

However the stupidest scar he has is the one on the inside of his lip where zack bit him as a joke… they were not dating at the time.

Angeal has a couple of scars on his right forearm and elbow from the time he had to get the bone pinned because Genesis pushed him out of a tree when they were eight.

Sephiroth doesn’t really scar unless it’s a deep deep wound. He’s got a few surgery scars but the dumbest one is the one on his wrist that is a suspicious match for Genesis’s dental records (it’s exactly what you think.)

Cloud and Genesis and both incredibly flexible people.

Angeal is about as stiff as a board. Genesis has tried to loosen him up with yoga. It did not work.

Zacks not inflexible, however he overestimates how bendy he actually is and usually hurts himself.

Zack can dance he just chooses to be bad at it. The only time you’ll catch him dancing properly is when he’s trying to wooh his partners.

While Cloud and Genesis are very flexible, Sephiroth has mastered the ability of being able to fit all six foot five of himself in the gap behind the boiler in the airing closet. Many hours have been lost to that place.

Zack runs hotter than the sun.

Genesis runs surprisingly cold for someone who favours fire materia.

Cloud frequently does not recognise that he feels cold. He will walk around with blue lips until Angeal wrestles him into a jumper.

Angeals shoulders have been known to be wider than some door frames.
