Notes:

Based on this post I made.

Note: The year the game/console released in may or may not match with the year the drabble is taking place in. Suspend your disbelief a little here.

Chapter Text

“Hey Spike, do you like video games?”

“Not really. I never had anyone to play with me growing up, and my mom couldn’t afford a console to hook up to the TV.”

“Well, how about handhelds? Sure, there’s a smaller screen, but they’re oh-so-portable! Here, I got two DS’s right here~”

“...Zack, why do I get the rose-gold one while you get the Diamond & Pearl one? Besides, I thought you’d be more of a PSP guy? Way more mainstream fighting games and RPGs and all?”

“Ehh, something about the system wasn’t my style. And I used my salary money to buy both of these, ya know! That was a lot of saving I had to do! Now come on and play Mario Kart with me, I need to prove to Angeal that I can beat someone at it!”

-~-~-~-~-

“Hey Cloud, it’s Tifa. How have your deliveries been? Marlene and Denzel miss you a lot, so much that they snuck into your belongings and found your old handhelds. I promise, there’s not a scratch on them! They were hoping you’d have more than Mario Kart though, haha. There are no more deliveries for you tonight, you know. Why not come home?” -click-

Cloud turned Fenrir around and sped back towards Edge. He saved enough money with his deliveries, why not buy a gift for the kids? A few used games and another DS to add to the collection should be enough.

The rose-gold one was his, though.
