SOLDIER Adventures

It's Possible

  As Rin and Sephiroth entered the tavern they decidd upon, they noticed Zack and Angeal were there. Sephiroth grinned a sly smile and patted Rin's head.

  "Hey kiddo," he said, staring over at his comrades. "I have a theory."

  "A theory?" Rin grabbed Sephiroth's hand, leading him as the waitress led them to a booth on the opposite side of where Angeal and Zack sat. Rin had yet to notice the student and teacher, and she was far too hungry to care to notice.
 
  Getting settled into their booth, they ordered water to drink and began to look over the menu. Sephiroth, barely looked over the menu before reaching for Rin's pushing it down so he could look at her.

  "Got any friends that are good with makeup?" he asked.

  Rin scrunched her eyebrows in confusion and shook her head. "Uh, no. Not really. Maybe Cissnei from the Turks department but we aren't thst close."

  "Let's go shopping after this. On me."

  "What're you up to?"

  "I just wanna doll you up, is that a crime?"

  Rin frowned a bit and sighed. "Well, no. I suppose not. I'm just not that used to dresses and makeup."

  "Don't worry, Rin. I think seeing everyone react will be priceless and worth it. Maybe we can get you a boyfriend, hm?" Sephiroth gave a sly wink to her before the waitress returned to take their order.

  "Come on out, Rin!"

  Rin groaned softly but reluctantly came out of the dressing room. Sephiroth had gotten her makeup and hair done and now they were on 'phase three' as he called it. With her long red hair now down and in loose waves, she felt a bit off. Throwing in the foundation and light makeup, Rin felt like she was at a different war. Put the girl in a short, black a-line dress, and she's not sure who she is.

  Sephiroth replaced her boots for heels and grinned seeing her. "Look at you. Precious," he cooed.

  "I feel...not like myself."

  "Rin," Sephiroth began. He took her hands in his and squatted down so they were a bit more even. "I want this to be a valuable lesson. I'm dolling you up for fun, but SOLDIER could very well use you to be a member of the team similar to what Turks do. Dressing up, seducing men once you are older, and being out of uniform, may come one day. I don't know what goes through their minds somedays buy if Turks are shorthanded or we need s female's charm, you will need to step up. Do you understand?"

  "I understand, Sephiroth," she repeated back to him. Her mako eyes filled with a ting of sadness knowing that could very well be an assignment's requirement one day. She cringed at the thought but Sephiroth was right. As the first female hirer up, she needed to be at SOLDIER's disposal and prove her loyalty.

  "I'm sorry, Rin. I know, it's not something any of us like hearing." Sephiroth stood and held her close briefly. While she was dressing, he had paid for the dress and heels. The staff saw them out and waved to the tall man and short girl.

  Once emerging onto the cobblestone walkways, Rin found herself struggling to walk. She had a death grip on the older man's arm and a fire in her eyes as her ankles screamed at the unfamiliar position and weight.

  "Sephiroth," she huffed. "Slow down. I can't walk."

  He looked down at her and his eyes went wide. Fuckin' hell, he thought. She can barely walk in them. It took all the power in the man's body to not burst out laughing at his lil date for the evening.

  "Right. Lets uh, get you used to those."

  "Now remember. Head up, back straight-"

  "I run this shit."

  Sephiroth nodded, chuckling softly. "That's my girl."

  The elevator dinged and the pair walked out, onto the forty-nineth floor arm in arm. There were a few infantry men when they stepped out that stared right at the teen. On the way up, Sephiroth gave her a crash course in seduction, with the warning to 'please not fuck adults Rin, I will kill them if they touch you.'

   Rounding the corner to the common space, Sephiroth smirked. "Target in sight," he mumbled to himself.

  Rin had blocked out all noise, and was focusing on literally not breaking an ankle. She didn't register the two tall men that were suddenly before her until she looked up, being greeted by Angeal's smiling face and Zack's flustered, deer-in-headlights stare.

  Sephiroth let go of Rin, smiling down to her. "Why don't you go take a seat. Angeal and I need to speak, kiddo."

  "Alright," she replied. She took a step, suddenly aware of just how loud the click of her heels were. Taking a few steps towards the catch, she suddenly felt a strong grip on her arm. Zack. "Wh..What is it, Zack?"

  His whole face went bright red and he looked to his hand thst grabbed Rin's upper arm to her face and back. He immediately let go and shook his head a bit. "Uh, s-sorry. I just uh..."

  Rin watched as Zack fumbled about for words and grinned up to him. "You're cute, ya know."

  "Wh-Wha...!?"
