Raising Angeal
Part Two: Fix It
-Call the plumber! It's leaking!-

Zackary Fair was woken abruptly by a pounding at the door.
The sudden, booming noise from the entry had him scrambling from his bed in a tangled mess of sheets, limbs, and muffled curses.
"Shit, Zack," The groggy sound of Kunsel's usually-soft voice drifted through the thin dormitory wall, "What'd you do now?"
"I dunno," Zack returned, "I haven't done anything since the lap pool last week. �'least� I don't think so."
"Don' care what it was, Fair! Git the damn door!" Watt Hyde, the irritable cadet on Zack's other side, joined the fray.
"I'm going, I'm going! �Sheesh." Zack placated, escaping the confines of his blankets and stumbling towards the door.
The banging abated for a moment before starting up, if possible, more frantically.
Zack steeled himself, taking a few steadying breaths before opening the gateway to his disciplinary doom.
"A-Angeal? I mean, Sir?" The dark-haired recruit straightened up, prepared to salute the General when he noticed the little sniffling, gasping noises.
He didn't have much time to examine the source before the bigger man thrust it at him.
"He's leaking. Fix him."
Zack blinked, eyes the size of dinner plates.
"I�hey, there�"
This was unbelievable.
Here, at 12:54 A.M., in the middle of a Cadet bunk hall, at Zack Fair's door, stood General Angeal Hewley.
Not only General Angeal Hewley, but General Angeal Hewley holding a kid awkwardly under the arms and demanding he be fixed like a broken toy.
Zack would have laughed if he hadn't taken a better look at the little guy.
Shiva, he was cute.
And crying.
With the biggest, bluest eyes Zack had ever seen, in or out of SOLDIER.
He focused on the kid, maintaining eye contact and producing the most comforting smile he could first thing in the morning, "Hey, there." He repeated.
The kid paused in his struggles to look up at him, his lip quivering in a moment of pure, heartbreaking adorability before returning to his sobbing and squirming.
Zack blinked again, looking back up at the General's face, "Uh�permission to speak freely?"
The man's eyes narrowed, "Don't you do that anyway?"
"Sorry, Sir, but uh�when did you sprout a kid? And�why's he cryin'?"
"He's one of my sister's. And he just�."
"He yelled." The little blonde said, his voice tiny and soft, "Genesis touched somethin', and he yelled real loud."
"So that's his name�" Angeal nodded his understanding, child still extended.
Zack sighed, taking the boy gingerly, "Genesis is�your brother?"
The blonde wasted no time burying his head in the cadet's shoulder, nodding against the skin.
Zack rested his chin atop soft, downy blonde spikes, looking sidelong at the First, "And General Hewley yelled at him?"
Another nod.
The kid started shaking.
Angeal opened his mouth as if the defend himself.
"What did he touch?"
"I d-."
"The Buster Sword. It nearly fell on him."
"Ah." Zack made a soft, clicking sound. The massive sword was as much a part of General Hewley as creepy rumors were part of Dr. Hojo. "That's a pretty big sword. Your brother was lucky it didn't hurt him."
"�.it was loud. Genesis is mad�."
"How old is he?"
"Thirteen."
"Trust me, man. Thirteen-year-olds are always mad. It's a hormone thing."
The kid made a little laughing noise, pulling out of hiding just a bit.
Angeal was watching as if Zack were making a scientific breakthrough.
Zack rolled his eyes at him, mouthing, 'He's just a kid.'
"How old�?" Angeal attempted, but the blonde squeaked, clinging tighter to Zack.
"Aw, hey, kiddo. General Hewley just wants to get to know you. Right, Sir?" Zack beamed at the other man.
"�Right." He didn't have the energy to smile right now, but he made an effort to look as unthreatening as possible.
"�I thought he was 'Angeal'�"
"Huh?"
"That's what she called him."
"Your mom?"
Vigorous nodding.
"Well, to me, he's General Hewley," Zack winked, "But I'll bet he'll let you call him something better."
"Why can't you call him somethin' better?"
"I'm in a lower position. General Hewley's my C.O. �my commanding officer. Oh! Hey!"
The blonde squeaked again, eyes bugging.
Zack grinned, "My name's Zack Fair, SOLDIER cadet. I hope to make promotions, soon, but 'til then, I'm just a grunt. So: What's your name?"
"�I'm Cloud�"
"Cloud, huh? Well, Cloud, let's try this again," He turned the boy to face his uncle, "Cloud, this is General Angeal Hewley. General, this is Cloud."
Cloud bit his lip thoughtfully before putting up his hand for a high five.
Zack grinned, and Angeal, awkwardly, obliged.
"It's�a pleasure to meet you�"
Cloud studied him for a moment before offering a shy little smile, "Okay."
Zack set him on his feet, watching with little surprise as the undergrown youth shuffled down the hall, exploring tentatively.
"So�?"
"My sister dropped them off not long ago. �I don't think she's coming back for them."
Zack looked back, startled, "What?"
"My sister has never been the most responsible person. This is just a manifestation�"
"General, no disrespect or anything, but 'manifestation' kinda sounds like a bullshit excuse for 'shit parent'."
Angeal grunted, "None taken. There's a reason we were�estranged. I'm sorry to bother you so early, especially with your training schedule. You are coming up on exams, but you seemed like the best candidate. �Nice boxers, by the way." The general arched a brow, indicating the cadet's bright blue cactuar boxers.
Zack crossed his arms over his chest self-consciously, "'The best candidate', huh?"
"Hojo mentioned that you get along with Sephiroth. The boy that lives in the lab?"
"Yeah, I'm good with kids. I have a little sister. So�?"
Angeal nodded, "Thank you, Cadet Fair. I think I can take it from here."
"Somehow, Sir, I don't quite think so."
"I'm sorry?"
"Child. Window. That way."
"Wow! We're really far�."
Cloud, in under five seconds, was snatched away from the open hall window and crushed against his new guardian's heaving barrel chest.
Angeal turned, and Zack struggled to repress a giggle fit at the sight of his superior officer's bugged-out eyes as he trooped back to the cadet's door.
"So, you need help, huh?" He smiled.
"It appears so. What can I offer you?"
"Huh? Oh�well, I wasn't really expecting anything, but�I guess�maybe a home-cooked meal, say, once a week? The food here ain't exactly the best."
"Done."
The blonde stress ball smiled brightly in the General's clutches, "Yeah! Zack, you're gonna hang out with us?"
"You bet," Zack grinned, then turned the look on his C.O., "In that case, just call me Super Nanny. Now, uh�can I go back to sleep?"
"Oh. Sure. Thanks again, Cadet."
"Night, Zack!"
"G'night, bud. Don't let your brother kill this guy, okay? He's my ticket to decent food."
He ruffled the soft blonde hair, gave a lazy salute, and re-entered his dorm room, shutting the door in his wake.
Angeal stared at the door for another five minutes, cactuar-print boxers dancing in his head, "So�Zackary Fair�"
"Yep."
Angeal blinked down at the blonde in his arms, a shy smile greeting him.
"Genesis doesn't stay mad long. S'okay. The door's prob'ly not blocked anymore�"
The General snorted.
"Trust me, Cloud. I'm a First Class SOLDIER. If he thinks a barricade can keep me out, he doesn't know Angeal Hewley."
"But you don't know Gen. �Or me." He added the last bit sadly.
Angeal sighed, "I've got a feeling I'm going to."
Cloud's grip tightened.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad, after all.

A/N: I did say this part would be longer. :)
