Tease - COMPLETE

TEASE





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



Warning:



A Zack and Cloud and possibly others (not telling yet ) fic, can guess who they are… yaoi…if you don’t like that…don’t read. A really hot and heavy chapter here, so if you don’t like the idea of Cloud and Zack getting it on… well, do not read it….extra-long (compared to other chaps as well) but so worth the read, if I do say so myself.



Authors Note:



I plan on having a lot of fun with this fic and bringing in some others into the mix. You can probably guess who they are by now…now it is just how will it all come together.



Thanks to ZiggyPasta for being my Beta…thanks and more thanks….



Zack and Cloud!!!! They are in the apartment…finally…to make it all official, officially official and all.

KITCHEN



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



Zack had his hands on the firm ass of the younger man. As soon as they walked into the door, he had thrust him onto his kitchen counter to enjoy the feeling of the warm, and inviting body. Zack had his mouth firmly latched onto the supple mouth that was fighting against his with his tongue. Cloud had that pale blue shirt unbuttoned and pulled to the side, and Zack had spent a few moments admiring the lithe body of the man, before starting to devour his mouth.



Zack broke away from those lips and moved to Cloud’s bare shoulder. Cloud made a soft moan and tilted his head back to allow him easier access. Zack squeezed that wiggling and suede covered bottom.



~want him~



“”Z-Zack,” Cloud whimpered, and squirmed against him. Zack did not move his mouth from Cloud's neck.



~tastes good~



"Zack.” Cloud was moaning more urgently, and his hands pushed against Zack's chest, forcing him to pull away.



“Hmm?”



Cloud was looking at him with a flush on his face, and short quick breaths escaping his slightly swollen lips. He looked amazing.



~cute~



The normally stoic young man was pure wildfire when he was turned on, and Zack planned on enjoying each moment he could with Cloud like this; it was empowering.



Cloud opened his mouth as if he were to speak, but then let out a sad sigh. Cloud lowered his eyes, and his hands dragged down his chest. Zack wanted to pounce on him again, but he held back his urges. Cloud mumbled, “Oh, man.”



~that didn’t sound good~



“What’s wrong?” Zack queried, and moved his hands from the softly clad ass, so that Cloud was now sitting on the counter. Zack placed a hand under the blond’s chin to force Cloud's blue eyes up to his violet ones. He moved his other hand to Cloud's side so he could rub him gently.



“N-nothing’s wrong,” Cloud said, a little hesitantly.



~that sounds like something’s wrong~



Zack tilted Cloud’s head and examined his frowning face. Cloud’s eyes no longer contained that lustful sparkle that had been there when he had thrust him onto the counter. Cloud was having another one of his mood swings.



~not now~



“Cloud,” he said softly, and continued to rub his warm side.



Cloud’s chewed his lip and shyly looked up at him.



~damn cute~



He let out a big sigh. “I-I should tell you something.”



~tell me something?~



Zack swallowed hard. What could Cloud want to tell him? They had been friends for so long; was there something that he didn’t know?



“Well?” Zack tried to keep the anxiety out of his voice.



~this better not have anything to do with Sephiroth~



Cloud sighed heavily. “It’s not that easy,” Cloud said as his fingers ghosted over Zack's belly. Zack held back the shudder that threatened to cause him to burst out of his skin.



“Well…” Cloud whispered. “...It’s just….”



~spit it out!~



He had never wanted to shake someone more in his life than he wanted to shake Cloud right then for being bashful. “What?”



Cloud gave another sigh, drew himself up straight, looked him directly in the eye and...crumbled into a slouch. Cloud pulled his hands from Zack’s side and covered his face. Zack was about to ask him to spit it out already, when Cloud starting talking into his hands.



“I haven’t...” he paused and threw his hands in his lap. “I haven’t gone all the way before.”



Zack blinked.



~virgin~



Cloud still looked at his lap to his twisting hands. “Me and- well – It wasn’t like,” Cloud sniffed. “I mean, you have to be quiet in the barracks and…”



~don’t need you to be quiet here~



“…everytime, well, we tried, I would get too loud and we would have to stop.”



Zack smirked and refrained from laughing. Cloud was worried about not having gone all the way. “That tongue of yours tells me that you have more than enough experience.”



Cloud twisted a little and Zack could see that flush on his cheeks. “Yeah, well. I’m quiet when I do… that.”



Zack chuckled lightly at him.



“It’s not funny,” Cloud said, lifting his chin up to look at him. Cloud’s eyes flashed with a strange determination.



“What are you worried about?” Zack asked, caressing his face. He leaned in for a gentle and reassuring kiss before pulling back to look at Cloud again.



Cloud chewed his lip, and his eyes showed a little bit of fear. “I haven’t done this before!” he said loudly. “I mean… I… I…”



Zack gave him another gentle kiss on the lips, aware of how big Cloud’s blue eyes were. “We don’t have to rush anything,” Zack breathed into his mouth. “You still want to, right?”



“No!” Cloud said quickly.



~WHAT~



“Yes- I mean, yes! Don’t confuse me!” Cloud said, shaking his head. “I want to. I mean…don’t look at me like that.” Cloud’s hand reached out to his shoulder and held Zack firmly. “I just haven’t done it before!”



Zack let his heart calm down as he looked at him; Cloud’s eyes were so large and bright. He also looked a little scared at his own bungling words. Cloud’s mouth was moving as if he wanted to say more, but was unsure if he was going to muddle his words further.



~he is just nervous~



“Are you worried that it will hurt?” he whispered.



Cloud nodded. “I want to, Zack.” Cloud lowered his eyes. “I really, really want to.”



~by Gaia, I want you~



Zack took another gentle kiss from Cloud’s lips. Cloud was a little tentative, but returned it.



“I’ll take it slow,” Zack said, and wrapped his arms around Cloud’s waist. “I’ll do whatever you want.”



Cloud flushed again, and that lustful sparkle returned to his eyes. Zack was a little startled when brown, suede-covered legs wrapped firmly around his waist, and Cloud’s arms clasped frimly around his neck. Cloud lifted himself off of the counter, and pressed himself against the dark haired man’s chest, their mouths crashing hungrily together. Zack had to stagger back, hurriedly placing his arms around the slender man’s waist, and found his back pressed against his fridge.



~not acting like a virgin~



Zack didn’t waste anymore time in the kitchen. With Cloud clinging to his body and his tongue trying to force its way down his throat, he carried the blond into the bedroom.



~bedroom, here we come~



Zack was forced to break the kiss to catch his breath. Cloud moved his mouth so that he was nibbling on his ear, which caused Zack to lurch, as they neared the bed.



“Damn it,” Zack muttered and staggered forward, nearly falling. Cloud was not letting go of him, and seem to squeeze his legs tighter around him. Whatever doubt or fear that Cloud had, was obviously gone.



~time to play~



He stood beside his bed and released his arms from around Cloud waist. Cloud’s legs just gripped him even tighter and his arms pulled himself closer, as if he was afraid to let go.



Zack sighed, trying to control himself somewhat. The nibbling, and the tight grip around his waist, was making it hard for him to breathe. “Cloud,” Zack gasped, and put his hands back on those hips.



“Nrgh,” Cloud murmured against his ear.



“We're in the bedroom,” Zack whispered and ran his hands up his sides again, causing Cloud to shiver.



“Unnn,” Cloud whimpered and pulled away from his ear. “We are?”



“Uh-huh.”



Cloud moved his mouth back to his ear with another incoherent sound. The grip around his waist loosened. Cloud’s teeth stayed on his ear, forcing Zack to bend as Cloud slid down his body. Zack groaned against his will as Cloud let go. Zack stood back up, taking in a shaking breath.



“You sure don’t act like you don’t know what you're doing,” Zack said, as he grabbed the blue shirt that was loosely hanging off of Cloud's shoulders. He threw it to the floor.



A strange, sensual smile spread across the young’s man’s face, which made Zack shiver.



“You're teasing again,” Zack whispered, surprised that he couldn’t raise his voice.



“Am I?” Cloud said, and his fingers moved to Zack’s shirt to begin undoing the buttons. “I thought you liked it when I tease.”



~damn it~



Every move that Cloud did was teasing. Every word, every breath; everything about him was teasing. Zack whimpered as Cloud tossed his shirt and vest to the floor beside the pants he had discarded earlier, when Sephiroth had dressed him.



~don’t need to think about Sephiroth, right now~



Cloud’s hands were on Zack's chest, and his mouth was at his throat. Zack refocused and was able to move his hands to those snug pants. Cloud mimicked his movements as his fingers went to the front of Zack's pants. Buttons and zippers were undone.



~Cloud is commando~



Zack suddenly remembered how wonderful it felt feeling up the blond, who had not been wearing underwear, in the cab ride home. He groaned uncontrollably as he tugged at those tight pants. Cloud effortlessly pushed Zack’s down and they fell around his ankles. Zack wished he had thought of going commando.



“Your pants are too tight,” Zack mumbled as he tried to peel those pants off his hips.



“You bought them a size too small,” Cloud said as his thumbs rubbed underneath the hem of his boxers.



~gonna have to have a little talk with Reno later~



Zack hummed and kissed Cloud again, with his hands trying to get Cloud's pants down those slender hips. It wasn’t nearly quick enough.



~desperate times call for desperate measures~



Zack gripped the hem of Cloud's pants and dropped to his knees, yanking the tight piece of clothing down with him. Cloud gave a pleasing, yet sharp gasp. Thankfully the pants slipped down with the force, and now…



~oh yeah~



…he had the most delightful sight twitching right in front of him. Cloud swayed a little bit and placed his hands onto Zack shoulders so that he wouldn’t fall.



~mine~



Zack was not in the mood for any more teasing. He was so wound up and wanted the enticing man. Zack did not hesitate to move his hands and grab his hips to still him, and allowed his mouth to descend on the waiting cock that was right in front of his face. Cloud pressed against him. The sounds that he was making was beyond anything he had heard Cloud, or any other lovers, make before. The pleading, mewling sounds caused his stomach to flutter and his skin to feel like it was going to start on fire.



~music to my ears~



Zack swirled his tongue around the warm, throbbing member and applied some suction to it.



Cloud’s pleading noises echoed in the room. One of Cloud’s hands tugged at Zack's hair, as if he was trying to push him away, but Zack was not going to allow that to happen.



Zack rolled his eyes up, so he could look up at Cloud. Cloud was looking down at him with eyes that were absolutely glowing…



~will be amazing when he becomes a SOLDIER~



…with lust and passion. His face was flushed as he opened those lips, and let out another wonderful moan. Zack could feel Cloud’s whole body shaking as he stood there.



“Zack!” Cloud said urgently, and let out a groan. “I…I...un…coming…Zaaa.”



Zack stopped his suction and his tongue to listen to Cloud's panting. Zack pulled back slowly, keeping his lips tight around his cock before he let it bounce up against the taut belly.



Cloud frowned and looked down at him. “Why…why did you stop?” Zack was amused by the annoyed tone and narrowed eyes that were directed at him.



Zack smirked. He tightened his grip on his hips and tossed Cloud onto the bed. Cloud gave a small yelp as he bounced on the mattress. Zack quickly pulled the suede pants off and threw them across the room. Zack made sure that his legs didn’t get tangled up in his own pants that were wrapped around his ankles.



The naked and excited Cloud looked up at him expectedly.



Zack grinned and went to his bedside table.



“You did make it to the store,” Cloud said with grin as he moved to the centre of Zack's bed.



Zack nodded. It was Cloud’s first time tonight.



~you get to deflower him~



Zack tried not to react to the thought. Zack’s stomach tightened with anticipation. He never wanted anyone so much, and wanted to make sure that Cloud was not going to regret his decision. Zack sat on the edge of the bed and opened the drawer to pull out a package of condoms, and lube.



~the rest will be for later~



He closed the drawer and turned to Cloud, whose eyes were wide and his teeth on his lip.



~so damn cute~



He placed himself beside the younger man and kissed him, allowing his hand to roam over Cloud's chest and belly.



~way too loud for the barracks~



Zack resumed kissing him, enjoying the feel of the warming body that was wiggling against him.



“Zack!” Cloud said as he threw his head back.



Zack moved his hand down to that firm bottom again, as he kissed and sucked on Cloud's neck. Cloud’s hands were clinging to his back in a nearly painful way. Another delightful moan filled the room that had started from Cloud’s lips. Zack knew that Cloud wanted him to pay attention to his cock that he was rubbing against his thigh, but Zack had other plans.



~big plans~



Zack’s hand went between those clenching cheeks.



“Relax,” he whispered into Cloud’s ear. Cloud nodded and he began to relax and Zack moved his hand deeper to touch that wonderful, tight entrance.



Cloud made a small squeaking sound as he tightened up again. Zack smiled and moved his hand away to now receive a slight moan of disappointment.



“We need to get you ready,” Zack whispered.



Cloud’s whole body shuddered against him. That movement caused the tightness to coil in Zack’s belly. Zack knew that he had to take his time, but he was starting to get anxious himself.



~calm down~



Cloud rubbed against him again and he felt the wetness of his excitement.



~make him scream your name again~



His inner thoughts were not helping him calm down. He had to pull away and reach for the bottle of lube.



Cloud moved impatiently against him as Zack handed him the bottle. “Hold this,” Zack said and kissed Cloud's already swollen lips. Cloud’s pale fingers grabbed the bottle and looked at him with wide eyes. Zack positioned himself a little lower so that he could reach down between his legs easier. He gave Cloud a little tug and was rewarded by thrusting hips and a panting gasp of his name.



“You drive me nuts,” Zack said.



“You’re teasing me,” Cloud whined.



“Turnabout is fair play.” Zack moved his hand and squeezed Cloud’s tight balls to get another squeak out of him. “Open it,” Zack whispered, squeezing a little harder. He was pleased to not only have Cloud pressing against him again, but toss his head back with the most pleasure-filled moan rumbling from his throat.



~just give up trying to tease him~



Cloud shook as he tried to open the bottle. Brilliant blue eyes focused on the cap and then the label. “Cherry?” A strange smile crossed Cloud’s face.



“Don’t like cherry?” Zack asked as he moved his hand to touch that puckering hole. He allowed his finger to circle it.



“Did you…ah…you buy-y this on purpose?” Cloud squirmed against his finger, but complied and flipped the bottle open.



“Yeah,” Zack hummed against Cloud’s ear.



~flavours are more fun~



Cloud chuckled.



~he picks the strangest times to laugh~



“What’s so funny?” he said and gripped his delicate sac a little forcefully.



Cloud made a startled gasp, and he bucked his hips. The laughing was replaced with a lustful moan of the word 'cherry'.



~deflower. Pop his cherry~



Zack groaned.



~don’t be so dense~



“I should have just gone to the drugstore and got plain stuff.”



Cloud kissed Zack's lips in a gentle manner. “What store did you go to?”



~time for a distraction~



He pressed his finger against the entrance without penetrating it. “This is what you want, isn’t it?”



Cloud nodded and moaned. “Please.”



Zack removed his hand and brought it up to Cloud. “Put some lube on my fingers.”



Cloud obliged. Zack felt the cool gel go onto his fingers.



~relax~



“That’s good for now,” Zack said when Cloud kept squeezing the bottle. “Keep it handy, though.”



“Uh,” was the only sound that Cloud seemed to be able to get out of his mouth, as that lithe body shivered with lust.



Zack moved his lubed fingers down. Zack pressed his lips against those moaning ones. He didn’t want to waste any more time in getting the eager young man ready to go.



Cloud was very tense.



“You need to relax,” Zack purred.



Cloud made a small gasping sound. “Cold.” Cloud spread his legs a little wider, to allow Zack access; he was obviously trying to relax.



Zack rubbed his finger against the tight little opening. Cloud twisted his hips slightly and tossed his head back and forth. Zack nuzzled into the soft blond hair, and whispered into his ear. “Do you want it?”



Cloud made a positive grunt as Zack twirled his finger teasingly. Zack’s own erection was throbbing, and painfully pressing against his boxers. He wanted Cloud; he wanted to feel him writhing beneath him.



“Damn it, Zack,” Cloud muttered as he grit his teeth. “Please.”



Zack smiled and obliged.



He pushed a finger into the tight little hole.



~so tight~



Cloud thrust his hips forward with a grunt. Cloud’s own erection was twitching anxiously against his belly. The tip was leaking as Zack twirled his finger inside the man.



~think how good it’ll feel when you are in him~



Zack shuddered, and pushed his finger deeper.



Cloud gasped and made a startled sound.



“Are you okay?” Zack said, and slowed his movements. He remembered the first time being so precarious between pain and pleasure. He wanted to make sure that Cloud only got pleasure.



Cloud’s eyes were glazed over. “Oh, yeah,” Cloud breathed and closed his mouth onto Zack’s. He muttered against his lips. “Don’t stop.”



It took a lot of control for Zack to stop from forcing another finger in. Cloud was still too tight with the one finger. He wasn’t ready for the next one, as much as he wanted to hurry it…



~get inside~



…along.



Zack curled his finger, and Cloud gave out a startled, yet pleasured scream. This time Zack did not stop as he stroked his finger against the spot that caused the scream.



“Zack!”



~he screamed your name, again~



“How does that feel?” Zack whispered near his ear. He stroked his inner spot again.



Cloud made a series of inarticulate sounds. Cloud’s hips moved forcefully forward; his hand gripped the sheets; his back arched; his beautiful, throbbing cock burst over his smooth white belly.



~you made him come with a finger~



Zack slowed his motions and let the enthralled young man come down from the orgasm that had coursed through his body. He kept moving his finger, relishing how the body squeezed his smaller digit.



~wait until you can feel it on your bigger one~



Zack quickly kissed Cloud's breathless mouth. Zack was hurting now; he was hurting so bad, and his body was screaming from watching Cloud orgasm.



“Relax, Cloud,” Zack hummed against his mouth that was trying to still catch his breath.



“Zack,” Cloud said, as he let out a sated breath.



Zack realized that Cloud was more relaxed now, despite the mess that he had just made. “There you go,” Zack said as he moved another finger in. “Still so tight.”



Zack worked faster in preparing Cloud. Once both his fingers moved in easily, he started to spread his fingers apart. Cloud continued to make wonderfully lust-filled noises.



~loud~



Cloud’s hand was now grabbing at Zack's boxers. Zack had been so focused on preparing Cloud, that he was not aware that Cloud was almost hard again.



“Want to,” Cloud rasped. “Zack!”



Zack refrained from ripping off his boxers and throwing them across the room, before pouncing on the young man. He pulled his fingers out and was pleased to hear the disappointed groan from Cloud.



Zack stretched over to his end table to grab a condom from the package. Cloud took it as an invitation to start tugging at his boxers, and a fevered hand quickly surrounded Zack's member.



“Easy,” Zack hissed.



~gotta stay cool or you’re gonna blow before you even get in~



Zack ripped open the package with his teeth and took out the piece of latex. Cloud’s eyes were wide.



“You need to let go,” Zack said as he looked down at the hand that gripped him.



Cloud blinked and complied, but still stared at him. Cloud visibly swallowed as he looked at Zack’s stiff member. He had a worried look on his face. “Will it fit?” Cloud whispered.



Zack rolled the condom on his cock, and that sparkle returned to Cloud’s eyes again. “It won’t hurt. My fingers didn’t hurt, did they?”



The drying cum on Cloud’s belly was evidence that he certainly enjoyed it.



“But you are…are big.” Cloud flushed as he said that.



Zack leaned in and kissed Cloud, almost chastely. “Relax. I’ll be gentle.”



Cloud shivered and seemed to calm at the words.



Zack motioned toward the bottle of lube that was near Cloud’s hand. “Lube me up.”



Cloud’s eyes grew wide again, as he quickly grabbed the bottle. Zack revelled in how he saw an anxious quake in those fingers as they opened the cap again and squeezed out some of the cherry lube onto his hand.



Cloud reached forward and Zack hissed as the gel was cool, but it did nothing to cool his raging and stiff erection. After a couple of strokes he had to grab Cloud’s arm for him to stop.



“Lie back,” Zack said, after he regained control. “I want to see you when I make you come again.”



Cloud’s chest heaved, and a soft moan escaped his tempting lips. Zack twisted out of his boxers and moved to position himself between those slender legs. He lifted Cloud's legs on to each of his shoulders so that the exercised entrance was exposed to him. Cloud was hard and ready to go once again.



Cloud was looking up to him with large blue eyes that held a mix of lust and fear.



~make it good~



Zack leaned forward, pushing his tongue into his partner’s mouth in a heavy kiss, as he folded the flexible young man in half.



“I’ll make it good,” Zack whispered as he leaned back. He twirled the head of his cock against the small dark hole. Cloud arched his back, which made Zack want to just thrust all the way in. He pulled back gently, however.



“I'll take it slow,” Zack whispered.



Cloud panted. “Hurry up with it then!” Those blue eyes were focused on him, and there was frustration written all over his face. Zack chuckled and gave in to his own urges, as well as Cloud’s. He pushed his slick head in.



~heaven~



Zack panted and closed his eyes. The warm body beneath was everything that he had fantasised about the whole week, and more. He was so warm and snug…



~and needy~



He wanted to bury himself in a quick stroke and have him completely. He took in a shaky breath and opened his eyes again. Cloud looked at him anxiously as Zack pushed forward gently, and with care. Cloud’s eyes grew wider and a pleasing tune of passion rose to his ears. Cloud’s pushed against him, forcing Zack to move in a little more.



~Damn it, he’s going to make me lose it too soon~



Cloud’s eyes grew wide and made a small startled yelp.



“Are you okay?” Zack asked and stopped moving.



Cloud groaned. “Don’t stop!” Cloud’s raised his hips and pushed his legs hard against Zack's shoulders. Zack had to use a lot of control at the command the younger man gave. The panting, sweating young man was so impatient, and was testing his stamina.



~doesn’t act like a virgin now, either



Zack pulled back a bit and then slid further in. The warmth of the man beneath him made him want to push in further, as he tried hard not to let his carnal urges take over.



~want it to be good~



Cloud started to murmur Zack's name while he tossed his head. A few slow and easy thrusts, and Zack was fully seated inside of him.



~absolute bliss~



He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the tightness surrounding him. He revelled in the warm feeling of completely filling Cloud. Everything was perfect. He opened his eyes and looked down at the beautiful man. Zack ran his hands up and down the legs that were pressed against him and felt them quiver. Cloud’s breathing evened out as he became familiar with Zack inside of him. Zack would have stayed still for longer if that warm body didn’t shift beneath him.



“Move!” Cloud demanded with fire in his eyes.



Zack chuckled and opened his eyes. “As you wish.” He moved slowly, pulling nearly all the way out before sinking back in. Zack loved how Cloud’s face looked. His eyes were wide with pleasure, and his mouth was in the shape of an 'o', as Zack moved within him.



“Like that?” Zack asked.



Cloud started to make those inarticulate sounds again. The low grunts and gasps for air were making it hard to keep steady and smooth motions, but he found his pace, and the grunts matched his thrusts.



~that is so a yes~



Zack started to move faster as the tightness began to loosen slightly. Cloud's legs pushed against Zack's chest, trying to match the rhythm of his thrusts. The sounds of their flesh hitting together meshed with the moaning, and it filled the room.



~music to my ears~



Zack knew he wasn’t going to last much longer and he wanted to see Cloud come again. He moved a hand, which had been gripping those legs pressed against his shoulders, and reached down to grip the fully excited blond.



He didn’t think Cloud could make more noise. His moans switch to a higher pitch of passion, and his movements increased. Zack realized that some of those noises that were echoing in the room were his. He was starting to feel his control going as he raggedly pumped his hand around Cloud’s cock, and his hips couldn’t move to match, either. His control was nearly shattered.



“Zack!”



~I could make him scream my name all night!~



Zack didn’t yield. He saw the body beneath him arch; he tossed his head back in a breathless throw of passion and felt Cloud’s insides grip him impossibly tight, as Cloud came again. The tight hole quivered around him as Cloud’s member twitched as he exploded in Zack’s hand. The tension that was coiled in his stomach was almost unbearable.



~too much~



With Cloud pressing against him, he was pushed over the edge. Zack gasped as he gave one last deep thrust, and was lost in the wave of passion. Zack’s muscles froze, trying to understand the blissful feeling that was consuming him.



Zack’s moans mingled with Cloud's. Zack was never one to be loud, but it was pretty hard to be quiet with someone as loud as Cloud. Zack opened his eyes and examined the man beneath him. Cloud still looked like he was trying to control his breathing. His face was flushed and some of his wild blond hair was sticking to the side of his face.



~more adorable than ever~



Cloud looked up at him with hooded blue eyes, and a relaxed smile took over his face. He unhooked Cloud's legs from his shoulders, as he placed his fingers on the condom. He slowly pulled out with a hiss, and this made Cloud whimper.



Cloud was a mess; his belly and chest displaying how much he had enjoyed himself. “Wow,” Cloud whispered in a hoarse voice. “That was wonderful.”



“Would you expect any less?” Zack joked.



“Nuh-huh,” Cloud said, and stretched out on the bed, absentmindedly rubbing his hip.



Zack smiled as he leaned forward to give him a kiss. “I’ll go get a cloth to clean you up,” Zack said and walked to his bathroom.



Cloud nodded, and smiled.



Zack hurried and disposed of the condom. He cleaned himself up quickly, and took a damp cloth back into the bedroom. Cloud was still lying there and looking a little bashful and slightly embarrassed at the mess on his chest and belly. Zack lay beside him and gently rubbed the cloth over Cloud in gentle, smooth strokes. The motions seemed to relax Cloud further as the flush left him, and he seemed to sink into the bed.



Zack doubted that he had ever seen Cloud looked so calm, and relaxed. Cloud usually had his guard up about something, or there was always something that he was worried about. He was grateful that he was able to take those worries away from him.



~keep them away forever, if I could~



He realized that Cloud had been smiling a lot lately, and he liked that. He still had his moody moments, but there were a lot more smiles coming from the man, now. And Zack realized that he was smiling a lot more than he had in a while, as well.



~lots of smiles~



He nestled himself beside Cloud and pulled the covers over the both of them. Cloud pressed against him and wrapped his arms around him in a clinging manner. “That was wonderful,” Cloud whispered.



“You said that already,” Zack chuckled into the messy blond hair.



“Well, it needed to be said again,” Cloud said in a now sleepy voice.



Zack hummed as they moved into a comfortable position. Cloud looked like he was starting to doze. Zack doubted that he had felt this level of contentment in a long while, as well.



“Wished ya woulda stocked up sooner,” Cloud mumbled against his chest.



“So do I,” Zack said and watched as Cloud fell into a satisfied sleep.
