Twisted Around

"Wow. Can anyone say dirty?"

Cloud looked around the entrance room. He turned to Vincent before sneezing.

"This is one dusty mansion, Vin."

With a nod, Vincent agreed.

The gunman walked forward as he looked around.

/Chaos? Any ideas?/

Chaos grumbled. /Just let me out. I know you want me to clean the damn place./

Vincent smiled slightly at Chaos's immediate agreement. /If you want to./

Chaos merely grumbled.

Cloud gazed at the staircase. "..You know, I haven't been in here since I found you."

Vincent turned. "Nor have I."

Cloud smiled. "When we opened that door in the basement, the last thing we expected was for a man to come out of the coffin."

Vincent chuckled. "I would have been surprised if you were expecting it."

Cloud shrugged. "True..."

"I thought you were beautiful."

Cloud looked at him in silent surprise at his quiet admittance.



~Flashback~



"Why would anything be in here?"

Tifa looked around the dirty room in disgust.

"Are those... coffins?" Yuffie whimpered.

Aeris said softly. "Yes... That one's closed."

Yuffie wailed. "Let's go, Cloud!"

But Cloud stood, staring around the room. Tifa stepped forward just as Cloud gasped.

The lid of the closed open flew from the rest, landing with a bang against the wall. Cloud watched in wonderment as a pale man rose, gun pointing towards them.

"Let me sleep."

Cloud thought the voice was beautiful. It was silky and seductive, and the man himself was gorgeous.

"Who..." Cloud took one tiny hesitant step forward.

The man regarded him. Who was this beautiful blond boy?

"Have you heard of my darling Lucrecia?"

Cloud stopped as the man spoke. His eyebrows furrowed in concentration, inexplicably hoping that he had heard that name.

"No. I apologize."

The man nodded barely. "Then let me sleep."

He began to fall once more but Cloud walked boldly forward and grasped his normal wrist- the one holding the gun.

"Do not go yet." Cloud murmured.

"Cloud!" Yuffie shrieked.

The man looked at him. Cloud. That was his name?

"In my sleep, I dream of her...my Lucrecia."

Cloud hesitantly said. "Don't go back to sleep."

"Allow me to return, I implore you." Before I won't want to...

Cloud said firmly. "No one should have to sleep here alone in a coffin like this. Come on."

The man slowly stood again.

"I'm Cloud Strife." The beautiful blond boy murmured.

"...Vincent Valentine."



~End Flashback~



Cloud smiled. "We went into the library without you, but you joined us on our way out."

Vincent murmured. "After looking at you, I could no longer sleep."

Cloud joked. "Give you that many nightmares, huh?"

Vincent growled in laughter and pounced in the blond. Cloud collapsed under Vincent's weight, laughing.

Vincent peppered Cloud's cheek with gentle kisses as Cloud writhed.

"Hey, Vin, don't start this if you're not gonna finish. And, personally, I'd rather not do it on a dusty floor. Personal Preferences."

Vincent slowly sat up. "If you prefer."

Cloud stood and winked. "Hey, just a little incentive to clean faster."

Vincent followed Cloud up the staircase. "It'll be done before you have time to pick a bed."



-T.B.C.-

Sorry, a while since updating! I've been so out of everything, but I'm back, and I brought Vincent and Cloud with me!
