The Melancholy of Zack Fair
Title: The Melancholy of Zack Fair
Rating: This chapter's PG
Warnings: It's pretty tame for now, but there may or may not be spoilers for both The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and any of the Compilation games down the road.
Notes: After hearing about The Gender Bending of Haruhi(Haruki) Suzumiya, I got the idea for this. Originally Cloud was going to be a girl, but I decided that he was best left as himself. Also, this part is short because I'm just getting going. As more and more characters come in and things happen, the chapters will get longer. And I crossposted everywhere. Sorry about the Flist Nom.
Summary: Zack Fair is notorious at North High School for being eccentric. Cloud Strife knew his life would never be the same the moment they met.
Zack Fair was the most eccentric student at North High School. Cloud knew; he sat in front of him.
On the first day of class, Zack had declared that unless you were a slider, esper, alien, android, time traveler, or some other kind of mythical, supernatural, or highly technologic being, he wasn’t interested in you, much less dating you. As soon as he’d said that, the students who’d went to middle school with Zack started spreading the word about his dating habits there. He’d dated anyone who confessed to him, no matter the gender. Inevitably, they broke up in a short span of time. The rumor was that the shortest was a few minutes, the longest about a week.
The students familiar with Zack also spread the word about the odd things he’d done in middle school. The most talked about was the “desk incident,” in which he made a wall out of all the third years’ desks in the middle of the night. Coming in at close second for most talked about was when he’d painted crop circle replicas and chocobos all over the school roof and gym. Needless to say the principal had known Zack quite well.
He always wore dark blue DJ headphones the color of the night sky around his neck. He seemed to be aware of the color resemblance, as he’d pulled them off one day and painted the Milky Way on the left earpiece in white-out.
During the first week of school, he’d changed the style of his long hair every day. On Monday of the second week, he showed up with it cut short.
All of the teams and athletics clubs wanted Zack to join them. He was exceptional at sports and gave them each a try, but quit after a day. When he did the same to all the clubs and declared that no club was interesting to him, Cloud made his fatal mistake.
“So make your own,” he’d suggested, thinking Zack wouldn’t take it seriously.
He did.
