after sephiroth made eggs for the both of you, and you two enjoyed a nice breakfast, you both got into his car, as today had a mission.

while eating breakfast, you guys decided that it was the day to tell the rest of your friend group that the two of you were dating.

the plan was that you were gonna go home to change into new clothes, then call the group in for lunch, while sephiroth waits at a different table in the restaurant.

if it went well, he would come and join you all.

if not, you will excuse yourself from the table, and leave the restaurant with your boyfriend, easy peasy.

the drive to your apartment was fun, music blasting and bad, karaoke-like singing, and you two raced each other up the stairs to your apartment as the elevator was out of order again.

you both walked into your kitchen to find your dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper and drinking a coffee.

"no breakfast?" you asked, scaring him.

"didn't hear you come in," he noticed seph and smiled, "hey, fancy seeing you here. how are you?"

"i'm good, thanks for asking."

"how was the sleepover?" your dad gave you a look which made your face feel flush.

embarrassed, you coughed, "dad please stop. i'm gonna go change."

"you can shower if you want y/n, we have time before the reservation," sephiroth checked his phone.

"yeah, you're a little rank looking honey, assuming that you guys are going somewhere fancy?"

now you just wanted to crawl into a hole and die of embarrassment.

"nothing fancy, just a dinette," sephiroth smiled, "we're telling her friends we're dating today."

you brought your dad's mug into the sink as he was done with his coffee, sighing.

"and that's a special occasion?" dad asked.

"they don't particularly like him," you shrugged, "i'm gonna go shower now, be back in a few."

you left the guys to talk while you got a set of clothes ready and started up the shower.

while you were brushing your teeth, you smiled hearing the men laugh through the thin wall.

your dad really loved sephiroth, it was sweet.

then again maybe you could treat your dad a little better, you thought, as you remembered the relationship between sephiroth and his father.

you scrubbed your hair in the shower, thinking about last night and what would come later that day.

would they hate you? you had no clue.

cloud, tifa, yuffie, and the rest had been so kind ever since your first day at SHINRA.

'maybe they'll understand..'

you finished up in the shower and dried off, changing in the bathroom and putting your hair up with a clip.

you walked out to see them watching the television in the small living room connected to your kitchen.

"you look pretty," sephiroth smiled.

"i look like a rat."

"a cute rat."

your dad snorted at that, and then you decided it was time to go.

surprisingly though, you gave him a hug, the first hug you had given him since you were about 12.

maybe it was those thoughts about hojo and seph.

it made your dad happy though, so who cares.

in the car, sephiroth smiled, "your dad's a sweet guy, he loves you a lot you know."

"i know," you smiled softly, "i know."
