Zack gets de-aged bc of reasons, asg have to coparent him, how does that go?

well it definitely depends what age we’re talking but overall i think it would be hell for asg but it would go pretty smoothly, but by vague age ranges i think:

- baby zack: a sweet little angel, babbles a lot, but isn’t super fussy! i think he sleeps a lot, and is kind of noisy, but isn’t a big crier and just wants to be held and sleep for the most part! they divide the work between the three of them, although none of them have many complaints

- toddler zack: the worst nightmare you could possibly imagine… constantly getting into things, having a fascination with doing really dumb and dangerous stuff like trying to put knives in electrical outlets kinda dumb and dangerous, and he runs around everywhere and hides, he’s the nightmare toddler that people complain about basically! poor genesis is stressed out of his mind trying to find zack, sephiroth is running around to hide all the potentially dangerous things and cover the outlets, and angeal is trying to make sure zack stays in timeout because if he looks away for one moment zack will just vanish

- child zack: loud and rambunctious but not nearly as bad as toddler zack would’ve been! he runs around and likes making a mess of things, he thinks everything is something he use as a training object because he’s in his wanting to be a hero phase, but he doesn’t get himself into too much trouble otherwise. since zack wants to be a hero and asg are all first class soldiers, zack would probably look up to them and beg and plead for them to train him, and they all bond with little zack because of it, with angeal teaching zack the basics, genesis desperately protecting the furniture, and sephiroth agreeing to “spar” with zack and letting zack win every time. i also think zack would be very polite and willing to help, so long as he’s given incentive to do so! he follows (most) instructions and rules that angeal sets, and he doesn’t get into *too* much trouble, although he makes a lot of messes and more often than not genesis has to take care of any wounds zack sustains from playing and training! overall very chaotic but asg can manage him, and they wouldn’t hate the experience
