HOSTAGE






Cloud looked nervous and a little jumpy as he walked out of the elevator, and Zack was curious as to why. His clothes were rumpled and had a slept-in look to them. He was more curious as to what he was doing getting off the elevator that was attached to the SOLDIER sleeping quarters -- particularly the First Class floor.



“Cloud?”



The young blond boy jumped and turned his way, his breathing increasing as he put his hand to his chest and took a defensive stance. But that quickly melted when he saw him.



“Oh, Zack,” He seemed relieved. “Did you just get back?”



“Yeah. Want to go for breakfast before I crash?” Zack asked and saw the nervous twitch of his blue eyes. “We can go to Beaks! Today is the day that they put carob nuts on the pancakes!”



Cloud smiled and nodded as if he were eager to get away.



Cloud kept looking over his shoulder and seemed abnormally skittish as they walked to the restaurant. He was very curious as to what caused him to be like this.



Zack ordered for them. Cloud really did have to eat more; he was way too skinny for his own good as they sat in a booth in the corner.



“So,” Zack said after he got a mouthful of pancakes, “where were you last night?” He pointed the fork at his young friend and saw his cheeks flare red as he did so. Cloud seemed to sink in his chair and become smaller.



“Nowhere.”



“Cloud?”



Cloud chewed his lip and twisted in his chair. “It was weird, okay? I don’t want to talk about it.”



Zack took another forkful of his breakfast. “It’s okay. I deal with a lot of weird stuff. It’s always best to get things out in the open.”



Cloud seemed to contemplate it as he picked at the food in front of him. Zack was patient. “You won’t tell anyone else, will you?”



“Cross my heart and hope to die,” Zack said and traced a cross with his finger over his chest.



“Well, I was training yesterday and Genesis showed up,” Cloud said. “He was a little weird and I ignored him as best as I could. I didn’t want a repeat of the materia training incident.”



Zack refrained from laughing at that and kept his face as serious as possible as he looked to Cloud to continue.



“He was getting weird again when Angeal arrived.” Cloud stopped talking and flushed harder.



Zack was dying to know but knew from experience that sometimes it was best just to let Cloud talk instead of bombarding him questions.



“We trained together and we had dinner again with Genesis. Genesis … well, he was flirting a bit, but Angeal stepped in. He said that he had to protect me from being corrupted. He wasn’t going to fail me like he did you, or something like that.”



Zack watched Cloud stir the carob nuts and syrup mixture on his plate. “I missed curfew because of the meal and he offered me a couch, but with Genesis there he said it would be safer to sleep in his room.”



Zack knew his eyes were getting large and the fork fell from his hand. He was pretty sure his jaw was unhinged as well. Angeal never hit on other men, at least as far as he knew, and then he goes after Cloud. This was mind-blowing.



“What happened?” He gasped and closed his mouth, as he couldn’t help but ask the question.



“Nothing!” Cloud quickly said. “He just held me the entire night. Not an endearing kind of way. Like kidnapping or held hostage kind of way.” Cloud looked extremely uncomfortable and he sank further into the booths cushions. “The only reason I got out of there this morning was because he had to go to the bathroom, and so I bailed.”



Zack blinked and was trying to picture it.



“Don’t tell anyone, please,” Cloud pleaded. “It’s so embarrassing.”



“This was Angeal?” Zack said and Cloud quickly shushed him as his voice was too loud.



Zack’s phone started to ring and he answered it without even looking at the call display. “Zack here,” he answered and was quite alarmed at the rush of words from a very flustered-sounding Angeal. “Easy, whoa, he’s right here. No. He’s fine. We’re just having … No. Genesis isn’t here. It just me and him. Okay. I’ll keep an eye out.” He shut his phone and sighed.



He looked over at the very upset-looking and nervous blond. “It’s all right. He was just making sure that Genesis hadn’t swiped you.”



Cloud groaned and sank further and looked as if he was on the verge of slipping under the table as he covered his face with his hands.



“You shouldn’t really worry,” Zack said as he gathered his fork and took another bite of his breakfast. “Genesis can be really gentle.”



He had to check under the table for his young friend after he said that.
