Twisted Around

"Good morning, Cloud."

"Let me sleep." Cloud muttered, burying his head under the pillow.

Chaos chuckled. "It's already noon, Cloud."

Cloud withdrew his head. "How can that be? I didn't stay up..."

Chaos shrugged. "I don't know."

The blond grumbled a bit but stood. He yawned loudly as he turned to Chaos. "Mmm... Is Vincent coming back today?"

Chaos wanted more than anything to say no. Instead, he nodded. "Later today."

"Ah."

Cloud sleepily pulled on pants.

"What are we doing today?"

Chaos shrugged once more. "What do you want to do?"

Cloud pressed his lips in a thin line in concentration. "Mnnnnn.."

Chaos chuckled. "You are very endearing, Cloud."

Cloud looked over at him and yawned. "You certain i can't go back to sleep?"

"..no."

Cloud smirked. "Then why'd you wake me up?"

Cloud began to pull the pants back down, only to have Chaos grip his hand.

"Chaos?"

Cloud looked at him fearfully. Chaos shook his head.

"You should stay up."

Cloud averted his gaze. "Ummm.. Chaos, please let go."

Chaos shook his head as he let go. "How is it that you can act.. normal... then go instantly shy and afraid?"

"I am no more unpredictable than you."

"That is, I suppose, true."

Cloud weakly smiled. "Very true."

As Cloud walked to the door, he turned back to Chaos.

"Chaos..." He hesitated. "If...If you don't...try...anything.."

Chaos watched silently as Cloud struggled to find words.

"If you don't try anything..."

"For one night....I am yours."

Bingo.

Just what Chaos had been hoping for.

After all, didn't supposed 'oneshots' often change to a more... permanent arrangement?

Chaos nodded.

"I'll be good."

Cloud forced a smile and left the room.

How?!

The word ran through his head.

How could he have said that..?

True, it was a gamble. No guarantee it would come to pass.

Just one night.

One night, and no more random Chaos-fucking-Cloud.

If Cloud could trust him.
