MONTENO’S





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Cloud was no longer nervous about being in the fancy restaurant, and quite relaxed now. The couple of drinks helped, and the fact that Zack was more relaxed himself, as well. Zack's knee wasn’t bouncing and shaking the table anymore.



Zack had already queried him on his injuries and he told him that he was feeling quite fine now. His shoulder had full range of movement and the bruise that was across his face was almost completely gone, thanks to materia practice where they were using some Cure. They weren’t that efficient in the use of magic, but it sure helped.



~wanna be limber for later~



The conversation was light, as it usually was, between them. The food was rich and good. Expensive too; Cloud was glad that Reno was paying for it.



He was beginning to feel like he had a few too many drinks, for he was starting to feel…giddy. What did Zack call them, Mojito’s? He would have to remember that for next time they went out.



Zack smiled at him. “Are you going to start giggling on me?”



Cloud pouted. “I’m not that drunk,” he said, even though he was feeling rather warm. He never wanted to get as drunk as he did last weekend, ever again. “You won’t have to carry me back to your room.”



Zack closed his eyes for a second and made a happy humming sound. He opened his violet eyes with an…



~smarmy~



… evil smirk on his lips.



“Don’t get any evil ideas,” Cloud said and gave him a stern look that quickly faltered into a smile.



“I got plenty right now,” Zack whispered and leaned across the table a bit, spearing a chocolate dusted piece of fruit that they had picked for dessert. He held it out to Cloud and Cloud obliged, leaning forward and took it off the fork, making sure that he licked his lips in the fashion that he had been practicing.



The shiver from Zack proved that he had done it correctly. He liked how his teasing affected him. Cloud speared another piece of fruit and offered it to Zack in the same manner. Zack leaned forward and took the fruit and made a small moan.



In a whisper, Cloud asked, “Did you make it to the store?”



He was pleased to see that he made Zack blush and try to stammer out the answer. “Y...yeah, I made it to the store,” he said.



“What did you buy?” He asked.



Zack dropped the fork that he was using to try to get another piece of fruit, and his blush deepened.



~what kind of stuff did he buy? ~



“I b-bought a bunch of stuff,” Zack said, retrieving his fork and trying to set his eyes in a stern look.



“Stuff?” Cloud questioned. “Anything interesting?”



Cloud raised his blue eyes to those violet eyes. Zack's were wavering though, like he was trying to avoid the question, maybe even a little embarrassed.



~must be really interesting stuff ~



“A few t-things,” Zack whispered back.



“Uh-huh,” Cloud said. “Like what?” He smirked at the thought that he was causing Zack to stammer like that.



Zack’s eyes faltered then and darted to the side. “You’ll have to wait and see until we get to my place,” Zack said and leaned back in his chair. Zack had unbuttoned his vest earlier and could see the muscles bunching under the shirt. He wanted to touch…



~kiss and fondle~



…him and his own body was reacting to how excited he was becoming with thoughts of how they would…



~make it officially, official, official~



…spend the evening. He was pretty sure the couple of drinks were helping him along as well.



Zack changed the subject, “Where’d you get those clothes? I don’t remember them.”



Cloud smirked as he remembered the brown box that was left on his cot. “Secret admirer,” he said. The note attached had only said to enjoy the new clothes and dinner. No signature. It could only be Zack that bought the clothes. After all, who else would do such a thing?



Zack frowned a bit. “Secret admirer?”



“Oh, come on Zack. I know you got them for me,” Cloud said and leaned, smoothing the blue shirt against his chest. Cloud was amused by the possessive streak that he was seeing in Zack. “Who else could have done it?”



Zack blinked, and gave a deep sigh. “They do look good on you.”



Cloud smiled brightly. He just had a wicked thought. He knew he wouldn’t do it without a little bit of alcohol in his system. He knew it was a little…



~slutty~



…bold of him. He leaned forward and crooked his finger to get Zack to lean forward as well, and in the huskiest whisper he could manage, he said, “I can’t wait until you take them off.”



That caused his face to rapidly flush. Zack abruptly stood.



“I think we are ready to leave,” Zack said, his voice breaking a bit as he spoke. Cloud laughed lightly and stood himself.



Zack moved quickly and put his arm around Cloud's waist and then gave him a kiss. A quick one, before he pulled his lips away. “You shouldn’t tease me in public.”



“Nobody’s watching in here,” Cloud whispered back and gave him another kiss, then deliberately pulled away. He could feel how excited his…



~most definitely his! ~



…dark haired man was. He was pretty sure that he heard Zack growl slightly, and most likely was going to try something else, when the screen opened and a waiter entered. Zack quickly announced that they were going for the evening.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Reno didn’t know if it was a blessing or a curse to be the one by the screen door. He could catch glimpses of the two…



~studs~



…in the private room that he had set up for them. He was quite happy to see that Cloud was wearing the clothes that he had bought for him and they looked even better than they did when he…



~peeped~



…observed him in the store window. Cloud seemed to know it too as Reno saw them flirting with each other across the small, private table.



They were more interesting than the room he was in anyway. Sephiroth was not exactly the best at conversation and it was mostly Rufus talking to the two dancers who were more than willing to talk about the performance and the next performance and the next dance move and the next challenge…blah, blah, blah.



He was pretty sure that Rufus really was into that conversation and both Drake and Mina seemed to be thrilled with the attention that…



~the brat~



…Rufus was giving them. He had a feeling that Rufus was going to be disappointed. From where he was sitting, he could see how Drake was constantly touching that bony Mina’s legs under the table. He doubted that Rufus saw it and he didn’t want to burst his bubble. He would let Drake do that.



It did seem like Mina was interested in Sephiroth and she tried to have a conversation with him on occasion but Sephoroth’s lack of personality did not deter her in the least. She did let Drake’s touches deter her hands from wandering towards Sephiroth or Tseng.



~guess she is just keeping her options open~



Of course, he was a little upset to see that Tseng was sitting at the table and he was the one that was standing like a stupid beacon. He had made the silly assumption that Tseng was going to be standing as a guard as well. Boy, was he wrong. He didn’t know if he liked the idea of being tricked by his boss like that. He could see the pointed look that Tseng gave him from time to time.



He got to watch everyone eat the delicious food, while his stomach grumbled. He knew that he would eat well after, but it still was torture and he found the suit getting a little warm, and seeing glimpse of the two…



~hotties~



…love birds in the other room was driving him absolutely nuts! Every now and then, he could hear one of them laugh or raise their voice. He wished he had the foresight to bug the room, so he could see what they were doing. Oh. He should have bugged Fair’s apartment.



~that would be something to watch~



He shook his head to get those thoughts out and frowned as he listened to Drake drawl on about how much he has to train in a day to do some fruity ballet move that Rufus seemed absolutely engrossed in hearing. He really didn’t think his boss was into this kind of stuff. It seemed so strange.



Tseng tried to hide a smirk behind taking a sip of his drink, despite how his dark eyes showed amusement, as he looked at him.



Did Tseng know that this was torturing him? He was pretty sure Tseng knew that he was miserable, even if he didn’t know the true reason why.



He heard the screen open to the room that…



~his two SOLDIERS~



…the two were in and saw them step out. Man. They looked hot together. Zack gave him a look and there was fire in his eyes and it wasn’t just the lust that he had for Cloud.



What the hell? He didn’t do anything to piss him off? Did he?



~could be the clothes you snuck Spiky? ~



Cloud just smiled and walked towards the door with Zack following closely behind. Cloud looked like he was already in dream land and gave him a small, but very content smile.



~I would be content too, if I was going back with Zack. ~



Man, he really had to get laid to get those two out of his head! Since that stupid kiss between the two, he could think about nothing else and it was getting annoying!



“Sir.”



A familiar waiter came over to him with a bill to sign. Zack and Cloud’s bill. He looked at the list of purchases and was grateful that they hadn’t been all that expensive, but he wasn’t going to let them know that.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Mina was an annoying woman. Sephiroth noticed that they ordered expensive food but ate very little of what was on their plates. They seemed to enjoy the drinking more. He tried to hide his revulsion at how Rufus was unashamedly flirting, and Sephiroth wasn’t sure if it was with Drake or that Mina. He was as civil as he could be, even with the bony Mina pawing at his arm for most of the evening. She seemed to alternate between himself and Tseng, and thankfully, and Tseng seemed to be enjoying conversation with the irritating woman.



Drake was annoying as well.



Rufus was extremely annoying.



Tseng was being smug.



Reno was distracted.



He noted that Reno seemed to be very concerned with what was happening in the other private room across the hall. He kept his eye on what Reno was observing and was startled to see that was the room that Zack had his date.



~how could he get a private room? ~



He had yet to see who Zack’s date was, though. He was very curious to see who was tickling Zack’s fancy.



Reno scowled or crinkled his nose when he heard laughter coming from the area. Once, he even heard Reno silently curse at the sounds. Sephiroth noted that he only seemed to hear masculine laughter coming from the room.



Zack said he had a date, so he must not just be hearing the female.



~there is definitely two men laughing in that room~



He was forced to answer a question about his ranking and life as a SOLDIER to that bony looking Drake. He avoided sneering at how Rufus was looking at the two dancers. Sephiroth did not understand the thrill of dining with them. They were nothing but frail people that happen to be on stage. He had been forced to watch the play with President ShinRa and Scarlet. They were graceful, but that was all he could say about it. It was pointless flitting about on stage to some apparent story that he had no interest in.



~Genesis would have loved it~



He frowned and pushed the thought aside. He did not need to bring up those painful memories.



~Genesis would be explaining all the plot holes and re-enacting it at the table~



He took a drink of the awful wine that Rufus had picked to drown out the thoughts. He did not want to start pining over his lost friends. He had worked hard to get past that.



~past them leaving him~



His only friendship now was Zack.



~who is on a date~



He heard Reno shift from his position and observed that Zack was emerging from that other private room with…



~the boy who ignored me~



…his date. He frowned as he watched how protective Zack seemed over the smiling blond who was walking ahead of him. Zack seemed to be scowling at Reno as he walked by.



He focused back on the painful dinner in front of him and took a couple of deep breaths. He knew this feeling and he hated it. He had no right to feel…



~jealousy~



… for he had not laid claim to Zack. He did not want to lose the friendship that he had with him, and for that matter, he did not think that Zack was interested in other men. He only talked of girls.



~obviously something changed~



Sephiroth heard Reno mutter under his breath about them being expensive as he signed something a waiter brought.



He had to find out who that young man that Zack was with, and it seemed that Reno knew.
