There was that one day Kadaj was laying flat on his
stomach sideways over Cloud’s chair, searching through
Cloud’s drawers for nothing specific. It wasn’t because
Cloud had told him to, not because Cloud had wanted him
to. It was just because Cloud wasn’t there, and Kadaj
wanted to know what was in his drawers. Of course, he
would’ve done it once when Cloud was home, if it hadn’t
been that Cloud wouldn’t let him, claiming ‘he would
mess things up in them’. But really, who could mess up a
bunch of documents? Not Kadaj, no, although the
documents caused him to wrinkle his nose. Why was it
called documents anyway? It was just a bunch of paper,
after all… to hell with that person who decided paper
with text on should have many different names. Kadaj
didn’t like that person, whoever he was.
Closing the second drawer on Cloud’s desk, Kadaj set out
at rummaging through the last one, pouting slightly at
the fact that in this one there was a bunch of
documents-no, PAPER, as well. Only other things he
found, was a couple of pens and an eraser. Gods, who
would think the hero of the Planet could be such a
boring person? Kadaj closed the last drawer shut, making
and angry pout as he let his head hang down for some
seconds, lying like this while searching drawers truly
caused neck pains, but it wasn’t like that bothered
Kadaj, not the least.
Looking up on top of the desk, which would probably
cause some back pains as well by the way his back were
angled when he did this, he looked first over all the
paper on Cloud’s desk, then over to-oh, he had forgotten
to check the drawer to the small table that had a lamp
on it.
Kadaj smirked widely as he, still laying flat on Cloud
chair, moved his legs to get to that drawer, rolling the
chair with him without ruining his pose. Reaching the
drawer, he opened it and settled himself to rummage this
one as well, although this one had way less things than
the other drawers. At least there was no paper in it.
Picking up one of the things he looked at it for a while
before sliding down from the chair, now letting his arms
lay sideways on the chair instead of his stomach, as he
looked at what he’d found. Now this was something he’d
never seen before, which was just what he had been
looking for! He let out a little grin as he looked all
over the little silver box, quite small with lots of
buttons on. At one of the sides, Kadaj quickly figured
out that if he slid a part of the top to the side, the
thing seemed to start. Because on the other side where
there was lots buttons and a screen, the screen began to
flash, and seconds after he suddenly saw the room, on
that screen. Moving the little weird thing, Kadaj
realized that the screen showed everything that was in
front of it, and it made him giggle slightly, proud at
his discovery.
A
short while after moving the thing around, Kadaj decided
to try on the buttons, finding the one at the top of the
thing most interesting, because it seemed so special. So
he clicked the button, and a white light flashed the
room for less than a second, causing Kadaj to jump back
in surprise. Looking at the screen on the thing right
after, he saw it being still at just one part of the
floor no matter where he moved the thing for just a
couple of seconds before returning to seeing everything
in front of it again.
Kadaj took a look up at the picture on Cloud’s desk.
That one with him, Tifa and the kids together with all
of Nii-san’s other friends, and he quickly realized that
this had to be the thing that made the pictures. He’d
found a picture maker!
Kadaj stood up soon after, bringing the picture maker
with him as he went out of the room, walking down the
stairs to stop up now and then, taking pictures of the
wall, the flowers, the stairs down, the door, and when
reaching downstairs, he heard Tifa working on cleaning
all the glasses in the bar. Making him grin widely
before, slowly but surely, leaning out through the door
into the bar until he could slightly see Tifa, then hold
the picture maker a bit further out and ‘flash!’
he’d made a picture of Tifa also, but she hadn’t seen
him! He smirked widely as he looked at the screen on the
picture maker.
Tifa herself turned abruptly at the white flash and the
sound of a camera taking a picture. Looking towards
where Kadaj had just been leaning out and taken the
picture, but weren’t there anymore. Although Tifa didn’t
need to see him to get a quite sure feeling that…
“…Kadaj?” she asked, but was only answered with Kadaj’s
usual grinning as his footsteps was heard running back
upstairs. And Tifa sighed with a slight smile.
“Good luck getting that away from him, Cloud” she
mumbled to no one particular, returning to the glasses.
Upstairs Kadaj had stopped up in the small hall between
the rooms, taking a picture of the window as he suddenly
heard small footsteps approaching him.
“What are you doing, Kadaj?” Marlene asked, trying to
sound like a grown up as Kadaj turned towards her, still
holding the camera up so it pointed right at Marlene’s
face.
“Nothing” he answered randomly, keeping his eyes on the
camera as Marlene walked closer, looking straight up at
the camera as she stood close to Kadaj.
“Isn’t that Cloud’s camera?”
…
‘flash!’ and Marlene blinked repeatedly while
Kadaj grinned widely at the funny picture he’d just
managed to make of Marlene, who pouted angrily in the
same way Kadaj always did.
“Kadaj!” she shouted in a mad tone, just about to jump
up to grab the camera when they both stopped up at the
sound of the door downstairs closing, the sound of
Tifa’s voice as she said something, and a certain blonde
answering something in return, and then it took just
seconds for both Kadaj and Marlene to start running,
Marlene getting in front first but soon tripping thanks
to Kadaj placing his foot in front of her legs, making
her fall flat on the floor as Kadaj grinned proudly
while he ran downstairs, attacking his Nii-san with a
big hug as he reached him.
A
minute later Marlene was there too, jumping up and down
to also get a hug from Cloud, so he grabbed Kadaj by the
waist and pushed him gently to the side to not make the
short tempered teen mad, before he leaned down and gave
Marlene a hug as well, who was glaring at Kadaj at the
same time as receiving the hug.
Standing back up, Cloud turned back to Kadaj again,
noticing that the teen had been holding something, and
his eyebrow rose as he looked at what it was.
“Kadaj, what are you doing with my camera?”
Kadaj tried to
smile innocently, thinking for a second before handing
Cloud the camera willingly, thinking about all the mess
he’d made at Cloud’s room, before he decided to give
Marlene all the blame. So he pointed a finger at her.
