Summary: This story details an ordinary day in this little asylum we (Yukio, Sephiroth, Link, and I) call home.
Yukio lounged on the plastic blow-up pool chair, his hands tucked behind his head, his toes dangling in the water. He frowned a bit and pulled down his sunglasses a bit to stare at Link, sitting by the edge of the pool.
"Can you pant a little quieter? Some of us are trying to relax here." Yukio settled back against his plastic floating bed.
"I'm sorry... Yukio, but it takes alot... of breath to blow those up," Link said between pants.
"Well, then, fine, go pant elsewhere."
Link nodded and stood, he dizzily walked back inside the endless maze of rooms they called home. Diana had designed the mansion they lived in, and all the insainity of her subconscious had been unleashed upon the bluw prints. You never knew what could occur in this madhouse she had created. Still, Yukio thought, sipping his fruity red drink, adding a pool room inside the green house was a stroke of brilliance. Sometimes, that girl really does have a good idea. It only happens once in a blue moon, but... naw, it doesn't even occur that often. Yukio smiled up at the sun through the glass roof and closed his eyes. He must have fallen asleep (the lazy bum), for the next thing he heard was the high shrieking that was Diana's cry of frustration. He hadn't even heard her enter, and her shouting nearly startled him out of his seat and into the pool.
"Yukio! You TOLD me you were going to wash the car yesterday, you promised!"
"Jeez, Di, tone it down a notch. You could wake the dead with that voice box. And the car IS clean, isn't it?"
"Yes, but if I had of wanted Link to do it, I would have asked him! Really, your entirely to mean to that boy."
"The car is clean, ain't it? So stop your complaining!" Yukio settled down into his seat once more and closed his eyes. The next thing her heard was a ZIP through the air and the hiss of air being released from his flotation device. Yukio sank into the water and came up sputtering, his sunglasses hanging on by one ear. He frowned at Diana, who scowled back, sling shot (Where did she get a sling shot?) tucked in her crossed arms.
"You are insufferable."
"Give the boy a break, Diana," both turned to see the silver haired god that was Sephiroth enter the room. "I mean, sure, he's a lazy bum..."
"Am not!"
"...but at least he has his priorities."
"Yes, but Link can't survive under hard labor for long."
Sephiroth got a strange grin. "That boy can survive under a lot more labor than you think, Diana."
A confused look passed over Diana's face.
"Don't worry about it," Sephiroth moved and brushed a finger down her cheek, "we wouldn't want you frying those pretty blonde braincells, now would we?"
Diana simply melted into a puddle which slipped into the pool.
"Sephiroth! Don't do that stuff around the pool! Now we have to call the pool guy to clean up this mess."
Sephiroth shrugged at Yukio. "Everyone falls for me in the end."
Yukio got out of the pool, careful to avoid the floating blob of love sick goo called Diana, and wrapped a towel around his Speedo clad waist. Sephiroth pulled out his cell phone and called their pool cleaning service as Yukio went off in search of Link. Maybe Di was right, God forbid, maybe Yukio was a little rough on Link. Since Diana had brought him home, and Yukio had brought him into his bed (all in the same night!), Yukio had been treating Link much the way he used to treat Di, minus the tying up and locking in closets bit. Well, the closet bit, anyway. Poor Link, he must feel like a slave in this place. Yukio decided to make it up to him, he would let Link be on top this time. This ONE time. If he could find the elf! Yukio rounded corner after corner, he searched room after room. Link wasn't in his room, or the kitchen, or the dragon room, or the billiard room. (Billiard room? Who puts a billiard room in a modern home this day and age?) Yukio had been searching for an hour, when he finally came upon Link in the garden. He was peering through the leaves of a hedge. Yukio squatted down beside him.
"What are you looking at, Link?"
Link pointed and said, "There two really cute guys through there, they just met."
"Oh really? Let me see. Oh, that's just Valek and Leopold."
"Who?"
"Um, different story. Come on, we don't need a cross over this early in the plot." Link stared at Yukio confused, but Yukio grabbed his arm and pulled him back into the house. "I've decided I've been entirely to mean to you since you arrived, and I want to make it up to you, so from now on, when I need something done for me, I'll go back to calling Diana to do it! Wouldn't you like that?"
"Um, I don't think Diana would..."
"Nonsence, besides, who cares? What's she gonna do, 'rub me out?' She's devoted to much time in basing this website around me to go back and erase all of it."
"Um, Yukio, I don't think I understand..."
"Don't worry about it Link, more importantly, I'm going to sweeten up the deal by letting you be on top this time!" Yukio opened the door to his room and pulled Link in. "Just this once."
"Um, Yukio, that's not really necessary..."
"Shut up and strip, elf-boy."
