Description:

Cloud has a terrible skeleton: it cracks every 3 minutes, sometimes a kneecap slips to the side, maybe a dislocated shoulder every now and then. It's not that big of a deal, and he makes it into the SOLDIER cadet program alright. Even when he fails, nobody notices it in the infantry either. It's only after a few alright years of service someone notes that "hey, that kid's joints suck ass!" and gets Cloud discharged.

Then, of course, is picking his life back up and figuring out that giving too many shits takes up too much damn energy. Best save them for special occasions, and use sparingly. He gets the hang of repairs, accidentally kills a dragon with two wrenches and a customer's sword, and settles.

Settling did not include any ShinRa employees bursting back into his life, but plans change, right?

Notes:

inspired by my sis, who got out of her chair one afternoon and found that she couldn't lean in any direction and tried to sleep it off. her bones are hilariously (aka worryingly and ridiculously) terrible, and tbh im hoping we didn't both inherit it. doctors are always like 'how tf are u moving' and she always replies 'i honestly dont know'.
