Living together in a group such as Avalanche meant that sometimes, by accident or not so much accident, you were bound to walk in on your team mates in less than decent situation. It kind of came with the way they all camped together or shared rooms in inns together and generally just spent all the hours of both day and night together.

But really, Tifa thought, this was where she drew the line. It was her damn bar, and she could put her foot down here at least.

It had started with some suspicious noise coming from Cid and Vincent’s room – well, not that suspicious perhaps, considering the amount of alcohol they had both been downing last night and the rather shameless snuggling that had followed. Then there had been about two seconds worth of silence, a piercing scream and a loud bump followed by a growl. Avalanche looked up as a white-face, terrified and butt-naked Cid came running into the kitchen, pointing behind him and stammering:

“Vince! And then…and not….naked…where the *Hell* did the fucking chainsaw come from?!”

“Cid….” Tifa tried not to look too blatantly at the naked pilot. Yuffie, however, had no such problem and was staring with slack-jawed fascination, Barrett had hidden behind the newspaper, Cloud had dropped the spoon into his cereals and was trying to wipe the splattered mess out of his hair, Nanaki seemed untroubled by the sudden naked arrival and Reeve was doing a very good imitation of Yuffie.

“I mean, what if that thing had fucking started when we were asleep, huh? That ain’t somethin’ I want that close to my personal area when I sleep!”

“Cid.”

“And then there’s that mask which might be a bit kinky, but ain’t something I wanna see that cloe up first thing in the morning…”

“Cid!” She yelled, desperate to cut off the rambling.

“What?!”

“You are naked. You are standing in the kitchen naked.”

“Um, yeah, so? There was a demon in my bed!” Cid didn’t seem flustered by the fact.

“Cid, you are naked, and there are bits….wiggling.” Tifa tried with as much diplomacy as she could muster.

Swearing, Cid grabbed the hood to the teapot and held it with careless disrespect in front of his groin.

“There, all happy? Now the demon…”

“Chief…” a low and rather embarrassed voice came from outside the corridor. Cid spun around, now giving Avalanche a great view of his firm ass, making Barrett hide deeper behind the paper, causing Yuffie and Reeve to squeal and made Cloud drop the spoon once more. Vincent was dressed only in his flowing cape, but although he seemed to make no conscious effort of holding it together, the cape was still providing some slight coverage. Tifa rolled her eyes and gave up.

“Vince, that’s ya? What the fucking Hell happened?!”

“Um…I’m afraid you startled me this morning, and Hellmasker took over. I’m terribly sorry.” The dark man cast an uncomfortable glance at the rest of Avalanche who tried really hard to pretend they didn’t listen. “Maybe…maybe we can go back upstairs and start this morning over?”

Cid nodded, relieved.

“Do ya promise not to take out that chainsaw again?”

“On one condition.”

“What?”

“That you promise to leave that tea-hood down here.”

“Deal!” Dropping the knitted hood, Cid grinned and put his arm around Vincent; Yuffie and Reeve both pouted as the cape swirled up to cover them once more.
