Sephiroth sat on his bed, blankly staring at the redhead going through his closet. "Do you own anything that isn't leather?" Genesis demanded.

"I find that black leather intimidates people," the silver haired man said airily.

"Yeah, and attracts the whip and chains crowd. I don't think you want…never mind found your cuffs."

"I don't have cuffs," the General frowned slightly.

"Then what are these?" the redhead held up a pair of leather wrist cuffs.

"You gave those to me."

"Oh right…mind if I borrow them? I heard Tseng is into this kind of thing."

"Tseng isn't going to allow you near him, he thinks you're a psychotic stalker, which you are, that's going to rape him, which you would."

"Oh it's not rape," the redhead waved his hand dismissively as he started through the General's closet again, "It's surprise sex he doesn't know he wants."

"Rape."

"Oh shut up bondage boy. Ew…bad image. Bondage Bunny."

Sephiroth choked on his breathe. "What did you just say?"

"Bad image, don't make me repeat it. You know what, your wardrobe sucks. We're going shopping."

"Genesis," the General warned, "I am not going shopping with you. I will end up in some tabloid in a pink tutu knowing you."

"That would be funny and you can always use the publicity," Genesis waved his hand at the silver haired man, "Ooh, never mind, I like this outfit." The redhead pulled out a black shirt and pair of dress pants. "You put this on and let me see how it looks."

Sighing heavily, Sephiroth took the outfit and laid it on his bed before reaching up to pull off his coat. Looking up at the redhead he paused. "Well?"

"Well what?" the SOLDIER blinked innocently.

"Aren't you going to leave?"

"Oh no," Genesis smirked, "I'm not missing this show."

"I will kill you if you don't leave."

"Oh psh," the redhead waved a hand airily, "No you won't. Look, just think of this as strip practice for when you get your little blond."

"…" Sephiroth looked at his friend then down at the outfit and finally at himself. "If you ever tell anyone about this I will castrate you, give you to an angry Turk, then hand you over to Hojo. Just so you know."

"Noted," Genesis paled slightly, "Now…proceed."

"I hate you, I hope you know that," the silver haired male muttered as he turned his back to Genesis, lowering his coat.

"Slower," the redhead prompted, "Cloud isn't going to drool over just dropping your clothes to the floor. You have to draw it out. Here, watch me."

Sephiroth pulled his coat back on and turned to face his friend. Genesis smirked, hooding his eyes slightly as he slowly turned away from him. Glancing over his shoulder, the redhead reached up and slowly slipped his coat from his shoulder. He allowed the garment to fall down his arms and catch on his elbows, Genesis turned to face Sephiroth again. A smug look graced his face as the coat slid off one arm then the other, falling with a slight thud onto the floor. "Now you try," Genesis said happily.

"Fine," Sephiroth sighed. Standing he mimicked the redhead, allowing his black leather coat to slide down his shoulders and fall to the floor in a similar way. "Happy?"

"Not particularly," the first class sighed, "But it'll do. Just remember that when you've got Cloud all laid out on your bed and you're doing that to have a sexy face, not an I'm going to stab you face."

"Fine."

"Okay, now the pants. What you do is pop the top button like this," Genesis reached for his own pants and Sephiroth threw a pillow at the redhead.

"I do not want to see that!" the General yelled.

"Oh you know you love it," Genesis smirked, "Now show me your pants work."

Sephiroth stared at his friend for a moment before grabbing him by the ear and throwing him out of the room. With a heavy sigh he locked the door and quickly stripped and jumped into the outfit Genesis laid out for him before the redhead could barge back in. Pulling his coat back on, the silver haired man looked into his mirror.

"Can I come back in?" Genesis called from the other side of the door, "Because I'm getting really sick of watching Cloud and Reno make out."

"WHAT?" Sephiroth screamed. Yanking the door open and incidentally breaking the lock. Storming down the hallway to his living room, the General looked across the gap between the buildings to glare at the blond and redhead's apartment.

"I knew that would get you out of there," Genesis smirked, "He's just getting dressed. Isn't he pretty?"

Sephiroth stared mutely at the blond who was standing in the middle of his bedroom, seemingly amused by something happening in his closet. He was also shirtless. Emerald eyes roamed over the exposed flesh, taking in the defined muscles and pert pink nipples. Gaia how he wanted to just run his tongue over them. A breath taking smile crossed Cloud's face and he appeared to be laughing at whatever he was looking at. A second later Reno came toppling out of the closet, a shirt tangled over his head. The blond gently helped him up and removed the article of clothing from the redhead before using it to smack him on the ass. Grinning broadly, Cloud darted out of the room as the Turk gave chase. A minute later they reappeared, Reno still following the laughing blond. Cloud went up and over the bed before turning around and tackling the chasing redhead. He sat on his chest for a moment before giving him a peck on the nose and vanishing into the closet.

"Stop drooling," Genesis sighed, "You'll get to see him in an hour when we meet up with everyone. Now, I have a few outfits with me and you need to tell me how fabulous I look in them."

Sephiroth sighed heavily before turning to the redhead and choking on his own breath. "Gaia Gen!" the silver haired man sputtered, "Warn me when you're just suddenly naked!"

"Why?" the redhead blinked innocently and looked down at his own nudity, "I'm pretty."

Using his hand to block out the image of Genesis standing in his living room wearing absolutely nothing the General felt his way to his sofa and allowed himself to fall face first into it. "Are you dressed yet?" his voice was slightly muffled by the fabric under his face.

"Yeah, yeah," Genesis sighed, "My glorious body is shielded by fabric….baby."

Sephiroth slowly lifted his head up to survey the redhead. "You have got to be kidding me," he stated evenly.

"What?" the SOLDIER frowned and looked down. He was wearing a red fishnet shirt with his usual red leather pants and coat.

"That does not count as an outfit, put a shirt on!" the silver haired man scowled slightly.

"Oh fine."

Genesis dropped his coat and turned to the pile of clothing as he pulled the fishnet over his head. Sephiroth rolled his eyes as he saw the tattoo adorning the redhead's back. He had large ornate letters running down his spine, spelling out (of course) Loveless. At the base of the word was a book with thorned vines wrapping around it, a few roses adorning the vines. "Why did you get that hideous tattoo anyway?"

"Huh?" the SOLDIER looked over his shoulder slightly as he pulled a dress shirt on, "I like it thank you very much. Besides, it is my tribute to the goddess, for she deserves it."

Sephiroth was about to reply when the redhead shed his pants to reveal that he was, of course, not wearing underwear. "Dear god man!" the General held up a hand and screwed his eyes closed, "I do not need to see your ass!"

"Oh you know I have an amazing ass," the redhead smirked, "I'm clothed."

Sephiroth opened his eyes and immediately threw his hands up. "Not cool!" he yelled as the redhead started to sway his naked ass back and forth.

"MY EYES!" a voice screamed and the pair turned to find a mortified looking Zack, "KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS! PUT SOME PANTS ON!"

"You both suck," Genesis muttered as he grabbed his dress pants.

X_x_X_x

"Where is everyone yo?" Reno whined.

"I still can't believe you handcuffed me to the refrigerator to get out of the house in that atrocity," Cloud muttered.

The blond was in a pair of loose jeans and a deep blue muscle shirt, casually leaning against the wall as he took in his boyfriend's appearance. Reno wore a green suit with puffed up collar, a bright purple undershirt, red snake skin shoes, and a large gold cane with fake jewels in it. "I like dressing like a pimp yo," the redhead smirked.

"I don't know why I put up with you," the blond SOLDIER sighed.

"No one does," a velvety voice murmured.

Cloud and Reno turned slightly to watch as Sephiroth made his way gracefully towards them. Reno's eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the General. Sephiroth was wearing a tight black shirt, black dress pants, and his normal coat. His hair was swept back in a flowing pony tail. Beside him was Genesis in a pin striped black and white dress shirt and red dress pants with his leather coat. Behind the pair was a scandalized looking Zack in his normal SOLDIER uniform.

"What the hell are you wearing?" the brunet SOLDIER asked dimly as he looked at Reno.

"Mah pimp suit biatch," the Turk struck a pose to emphasize his statement.

"Why are you with him again?" Zack asked Cloud.

"I have no idea," the blond sighed, "Genesis, Sephiroth, don't you think you're a little over dressed? We're just going clubbing."

"It's important to always dress your best," the redheaded SOLDIER said airily.

"He dressed me," the silver haired General muttered as he thrust his thumb at Genesis.

"It was horrible," Zack looked like he was going to burst into tears.

"Do we need to call Angeal for you?" Reno asked and reached out to lay a hand on the brunet's shoulder.

"My ass is not horrible!" Genesis snapped, "And it is not my fault you walked in on me changing."

"Yes it is," Sephiroth growled, "You were trying to disturb me and traumatized the poor boy!"

"I don't want to know," Cloud muttered, "Oh look, it's the gang, let's leave and never speak of this again."

"TSENG!" Genesis squealed happily and started towards the group of Turks that had appeared in the lobby.

"Evasive tactic number 12!" Tseng yelled.

Immediately the Turks sprung into action, Cissnei and Rude flanking their boss while Rod and Elena moved forward, weapons drawn. "NO KILLING GENESIS!" Cloud yelled.

"Why not?" Rod asked.

"Because he's coming with us, I'm sorry Tseng," the blond smiled sheepishly as the Wutain man gave him a look that distinctly said he was going to die.

"And why is he coming with us?" the dark haired Turk ground out.

"Reno mentioned that we were going out and Genesis kind of decided to come along as well," the blond said seriously.

"Yeah yo," Reno said seriously, "You tell him he can't come."

"…they've got a point boss," Rod said seriously.

"Fine," Tseng bit out, "He can come."

"Woo hoo!" Genesis held up his hands in victory.

"But so help me Shiva," the Turk continued, "If you touch me, I will tie you to the fountain out front, castrate you, and force feed you your own balls!"

"So you are into kinky stuff!" the redheaded SOLDIER said enthusiastically.

Tseng sputtered for a moment before looking over at Cloud and Reno for support. Cloud shrugged slightly and Reno smirked. "You proved to Cloud and I that you were into it when we mpf!" Reno found himself with the blonde's hand clamped over his mouth as Cloud blushed furiously.

"No one needs to know about that!" the SOLDIER hissed.

"Oh we already know," Cissnei smirked.

"Yeah Cloudy," Elena smiled slightly, "We're not Turks for nothing."

"Could have done without the video though," Rod shuddered slightly.

"Oh Tseng," Elena said in a deep voice as if mimicking a male, "Give it to me harder."

"Whatever you want babe," Cissnei said in the same fake deep voice.

"Reno you feel so good," the blond Turk faked a swoon.

"I WILL KILL YOU BOTH!" Cloud yelled as he blushed a deep shade of crimson.

"…you have a video of that?" Reno asked with wide eyes.

"They will be turning it and all copies over by the end of the night," Tseng growled as the two female Turks flushed.

"Video of what exactly?" Sephiroth said slowly.

"…nothing," Cloud squeaked, "Let's go."

"Not before Reno goes and changes," Tseng said, "I will not have one of my Turks dressed in such a ridiculous fashion while going out in public. Either put your uniform on or dress like Sephiroth."

"That's not fair yo!" the redhead Turk exclaimed.

"Reno, do not make me repeat myself."

"Fine," Reno snapped, "I'll go change, but I'm not saving you from Genesis."

X_x_X_x

Sephiroth felt his eye twitching and regretted yet again not bringing Masamune with him. Gaia how he hated fans. He should really be allowed to kill the annoying shits. They hadn't even made it down the street from the parking lot to the club and four people had asked him for an autograph already. The Turks had taken to creating a barrier around him so he didn't 'accidentally' maim anyone. It also didn't help that Reno felt no need to help in keeping the deranged fans away, he was walking ahead with Cloud, his arm wrapped around the blond and head on his shoulder. Sephiroth needed something to hurt. They didn't have much of a problem at the door, Shinra officials never did, but the General's status was able to get them into the VIP lounge fairly easily. The silver haired man sunk into one of the couches with a sigh.

"What's the matter Bunny?" Genesis asked curiously and the room froze.

"Did…did you just call him Bunny?" Cloud asked into the silence.

"…oh shit, I did didn't I?" the redhead SOLDIER said, "Oh well, now they know your nickname Seph."

"You are going to suffer," Sephiroth murmured in a voice so low that only a SOLDIER could hear it. Genesis, Zack, and Cloud all flinched slightly.

"Well this is going amazing," Reno said sarcastically, "Let's just get drunk and deal with it later, okay?"

"Works for me," the General grumbled as he leaned back on his couch.

The VIP lounge had its own bar and bar tender, so there was little delay in the group being served. Sephiroth sat back irritably with his cranberry vodka and surveyed the group. Genesis was attempting to get through the Turk barrier to Tseng who seemed to be flirting with the bartender. Zack was staring out the window at the dance floor and bobbing his head slightly to the music. Cloud and Reno were over at the bar collecting their drinks. It didn't really surprise the General that the redheaded Turk had ordered a bottle of vodka and some shot glasses, he was a renowned lush.

The blond SOLDIER and Reno picked up their drinks and wandered over to the couches. The redhead surveyed the area, looking at Sephiroth with distaste. Cloud just plopped down next to the silver haired man casually, drawing his boyfriend with him. The General didn't miss the warning gaze the Turk gave him, but he was far too pleased that Cloud had chosen to sit next to him to really care. He was so close Sephiroth could actually feel his body heat radiating off him. Quickly taking a sip of his drink and looking over at Zack to distract himself from the urge to pounce the blond, Sephiroth scowled at what his second in command was doing. The brunet was standing by the window, spasmodically dancing along to the music and mouthing, but not singing, the words. He was quickly gaining the attention of the entire group, though it appeared that he was far more interested with the placement of his feet in his strange little dance.

"Zack!" Sephiroth yelled and the brunet jerked to a stop, "Sit down before you make a laughing stock out of SOLDIER."

"Oh that's nothing," Cloud giggled slightly, "You should see him drunk and dancing, it's really something."

Reno grinned along with the blond, pouring him a shot before downing one of his own. Sephiroth was a little surprised at how Cloud simply slammed down his drink, but couldn't help the slight chuckle at the face he made. "I think that's a little too strong for you," the General said and indicated the bottle of vodka with his own drink.

"You calling me weak?" the blond said teasingly, his lips quirking up ever so slightly at the edges, drawing Sephiroth's gaze for a moment.

"Well from that face I can only assume that straight vodka isn't your thing. Here," the silver haired man held up his drink to the blond, "This is cranberry juice and vodka, give it a try."

Reno bristled next to Cloud as the SOLDIER accepted the drink, taking a small sip. "That's pretty good," he said as he handed it back. The redhead beside him seemed to be absolutely beside himself, his indignant aqua gaze flitting between Sephiroth and the bottle he had purchased.

The General smiled smugly and indicated to the waitress to bring another drink, inwardly gloating over his small victory. Cloud clearly had similar tastes to him than Reno, they were more compatible. It might not be much, but it was something. The waitress approached the couch hesitantly, her eyes fixed on the silver haired man as she set the drink down and asked in a trembling voice if he needed anything else. Sephiroth just dismissed her with a wave of his hand, turning his attention back to the blond beside him. Reno was whispering something in Cloud's ear as the SOLDIER sipped his drink and Sephiroth had to suppress a scowl when the blond grinned broadly and nodded.

Cloud downed the rest of his drink in a single gulp and placed the glass on the table in front of him. Standing smoothly the blond grabbed Reno's hand and led him out of the VIP lounge. The General carefully watched their progress down onto the main dance floor, it wasn't hard with the pair's vibrant hair. He couldn't hold back a slight snarl when he saw them start dancing, their bodies moving in perfect synchronization that only familiarity could create. The song wasn't too bad though, nothing more was required than a few intimate brushes of a hand against hip, nothing more than slinging an arm around a waist. But then the song changed.

Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
they say it's over budget but you'd pay her just to touch it come on

Reno grinned widely and grabbed Cloud's hips, grinding his own against the blond provocatively. Sephiroth didn't miss the way the SOLDIER bit his lip and wound his arms around the Turk's shoulders, moving with him instinctively. The silver haired man bristled when he saw Reno's lips move to the lyrics.

needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
if Hollywood had called her she'd be gone before ya had her come on

A smirk passed over Cloud's face as the redhead sang the lyrics to him. They moved together easily, their hips rolling against one another as their arms wrapped firmly around each other.

pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
every sugar daddy hittin on her all night long

Cloud spun in Reno's grasp so that his back was against the redhead as they continued to grind against one another, soft smiles on their faces.

doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along

The blonde's eyes slipped closed as he reached one arm above his head to hook around the Turk's neck. The way they were swaying, the way their bodies were pressed together, it made Sephiroth sick.

(you naughty thing)
your ripping up the dance floor honey

Reno spun Cloud back around and ground against him.

(you naughty women)
you shake your ass around for everyone

A growl forced its way from the General's throat when the blond hooked a leg around Reno's waist.

(your such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody

Cloud's body ground against the redhead's. He seemed to move like liquid, his hips and back moving in a soft yet wildly erotic ripple. The blonde's hands were in Reno's hair, the Turk's ponytail long lost.

(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb
your so much cooler when you never pull it out
cuz you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

Reno leaned forward and whispered the lines into the SOLDIER's ear before taking the lobe into his mouth. Sephiroth didn't miss the shiver that ran through Cloud's body or the way he pulled the redhead closer.

crafty little lip tricks
tattoos on her left hip

Reno's hand dipped down Cloud's waist as his lips danced over the exposed flesh of his throat, gently nipping and licking at it. The only thing about the display that even slightly pleased Sephiroth was that the fucking Turk had the decency not to mark Cloud. No one was allowed to mar that perfect flesh, the General would kill anyone who did, no matter what.

she bending as your spending
there's no ending it so baby come on

The pair moved against each other faster, the Turk's hand slowly inching its way up under the blonde's shirt. Sephiroth gripped his glass so hard it shattered. The entire room was looking at him now, but he paid it no mind, his attention was focused solely on Cloud and that perverted excuse for a man that he called his boyfriend.

dressed up like a princess
bettin' that her skin smells better
than the scent of every flower in the desert come on

Sephiroth was going to skewer Reno; that was it. He was going to take Masamune and drive it up his ass and out his mouth. That would be a painful death, befitting of indecent physical contact with the blond. The way he was forcing Cloud to dance with him, it was just obscene! How could he have allowed the Turk to take advantage of his blond for so long? How could no one have brought to his attention just how serious it was? He had thought the blond was simply subject to the redhead's lewdness in the privacy of their apartment…and sometimes the supply closet, but to find out that Reno was molesting Cloud in plain view of anyone. The General would not stand for it.

pretty little lady with the pretty pink thong
every sugar daddy hittin on her all night long.
doesn't care about the money she could be with anybody
ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along

Sephiroth took a deep calming breath, stopping himself from doing something he knew he would regret. He had all the time in the world to obtain Cloud and make the damn redhead pay for what he had done, he just had to make sure not to over react right now.

(you naughty thing)
your ripping up the dance floor honey
(you naughty women)
you shake your ass around for everyone

The silver haired man tensed as he saw a man approach Cloud and Reno, a man he was not at all fond of. Don Corneo was not someone he wanted anywhere near his blond, the man was just a glorified pimp after all. This was unacceptable, he would definitely not stand for this. With a quick glance at Zack, the General saw that his friend had noticed the Don's approach as well.

(your such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(the way you swing)
and tease them all by sucking on your thumb

Don Corneo had reached the pair, and from the way that they had stopped dancing to look at him it was clear that the fat cow was speaking to them. A dark look crossed Reno's face and Cloud started to gape like a fish. The couple looked at one another as the group in the lounge began to make their way towards the doors.

your so much cooler when you never pull it out
cuz you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

Reno lashed out, striking the Don and sending him flying. The music immediately halted and everyone stared with wide eyes at the enraged Don. "Do you know who we are?" Reno hissed, his voice audible in the intense silence that had descended. Sephiroth needed to get down there now.

"I don't think you know who I am you worthless whore," Corneo snarled.

"I'm a Turk you ass," the redhead snarled.

"SOLDIER here," Cloud smirked slightly as the Don paled.

"My SOLDIER to be exact," Sephiroth said smoothly and Corneo looked up at him from where he was still sprawled on the floor.

"What happened here?" Tseng asked calmly, the fact that he had already downed an entire bottle of tequila not even noticeable in his speech.

"Scum bag propositioned us Commander," Reno said smoothly, "Took defensive measures."

"I see," the Wutain Turk said evenly, "Elena, have someone come pick Corneo up and bring him in for investigation."

"Yes sir," the blond nodded and whipped out her PHS while Rude silently handcuffed him.

"Well as exciting as all this is," Sephiroth said dryly, "I think it would be best if we retire to the lounge again."

Cloud nodded slightly and wrapped his arm around Reno's waist, leading the redhead away. Sephiroth had to suppress a flinch as the blond made willing contact with the Turk, but made no move to break up the touch. The silver haired male followed after the couple calmly, nodding to the DJ to start the music back up. Back in the lounge, Sephiroth was intensely pleased that Cloud once again chose to sit next to him. He was not so pleased that Reno decided to sit on Cloud, spreading himself over the blonde's lap and drinking directly from his vodka bottle. Cloud too was drinking rather heavily, a dark cast to his eyes.

"Are you okay Chocobo?" Zack asked finally.

Cloud looked up, seemingly startled, then confused, then annoyed. "I'm not a Chocobo," he muttered.

"Fine Spiky," the brunet smiled softly, "You okay?"

"I'm okay," the blond said softly as he started to stir his drink, "Fine really."

Reno shot Zack a look that clearly said to drop it. "So Zack, you going to take care of my little Chocobo-ow! No hitting!" the redhead glared at the blond.

"Not a Chocobo," Cloud said again.

"Then stop being so cute," Reno grinned.

The blond stared at him for a moment before blushing furiously and looking down at his lap. "Aw," Zack cooed and Cloud turned a deeper shade of red. Sephiroth took a moment to appreciate the flush that had crossed the small male's cheeks. He wondered if it would look the same way when he was in a fit of passion, writhing under him. He was forced out of that train of thought when Cloud giggled unexpectedly before seeming startled that the noise had burst forth.

"You're so cute drunk," Reno cooed and nuzzled the blonde's neck.

Cloud scowled slightly, looking so young and adorable that Sephiroth couldn't resist himself. He was supposed to be a friend now anyway, why not tease just a bit? "You really are," the General smirked as he pinched a pouting cheek.

The blond pushed his arm away as the group around him chuckled slightly. "Oh shut up Bunny," the SOLDIER smirked.

"You did not just call him that," Reno looked a little panicked.

"Oh I soooo did," Cloud slurred slightly, "He's not doing anything about it."

The group looked over at the stunned Sephiroth. "He's drunk," the silver haired man said softly, "I'll allow it."

The tension the General hadn't realized was there eased and Zack drew Cloud's attention away with another Chocobo comment. This resulted in the blond drunkenly pushing Reno from his lap to tackle his friend, missing in his aim and landing face down in Zack's crouch. The brunet burst out laughing as Cloud flung himself back, sputtering wildly and beet red. Sephiroth smiled slightly at the pair.

"Turks," Tseng's voice suddenly called out and all the Turks looked up immediately, "We need to move out, orders just came in."

The group moved instantly, except for Reno who looked over at Zack. "Hey man," the redhead said, "Will you make sure Cloud makes it home okay? He's a little out of it."

"You have really pretty hair," the blond suddenly blurted out, his sapphire gaze fixed on Sephiroth.

"See?" the Turk sighed.

"I'll make sure he gets home fine," Zack waved Reno off, "Get going before Tseng kill you."

The remaining SOLDIERs watched the Turks vacate the lounge and sat in silence for a moment. "Well if Tseng isn't going to be here I'm out," Genesis said airily and wandered out as well.

"So it's just us then?" Zack looked at Cloud who was swaying slightly in his seat, "You feeling okay Spiky?"

Cloud giggled softly and nodded. Sephiroth smiled down at the blond, desperately wanting to run his hand through those golden spikes. He caught the look that Zack sent him and shrugged in resignation, which was apparently enough for the brunet. The General nearly swallowed his tongue when Cloud leaned back against him, yawning slightly.

"I think it's time to get you home," Sephiroth said softly.

"Aw," Cloud whined.

"Seph's right Blondie," Zack said.

"Fine," the blond sighed as he pushed himself to his feet and swayed a little on his feet.

Zack smirked slightly and was about to reach for his friend when his PHS went off. "Just a moment," he said as he turned away to answer it. "This is Zack."

"Um…Zack?" a female voice said softly.

"Aeris? Is everything okay?" the brunet frowned with concern.

"Everything's wonderful," Aeris responded, "It's just…I've been thinking…about us. And…oh this is so hard to say."

"Are you breaking up with me?" the SOLDIER knew he sounded like a child as he asked but he couldn't help it.

"No! No Zack, I'm not breaking up with you…I'm…I'm trying to say that I want to go the next step and…oh hell, will you come over tonight?"

"…"

"Zack?"

"I'll be there in five minutes!" Zack yelled into his phone before snapping it shut. Looking up at his friends he stopped. Cloud was leaning against Sephiroth for support, his face covered with a blush from the alcohol. The General seemed immensely pleased that the blond had chosen to use him as a wall, but was keeping his hands to himself. "Um..Seph?"

"Yes Zack?" the silver haired man looked up to meet his eyes.

"Would you mind taking Cloud home? I need to go see Aeris."

"Oh course," Sephiroth brightened slightly, but upon seeing the look he was being given wilted, "I'll just drop him off, don't look at me like that."

"Okay…good…I've got to go…now," the brunet sprinted out of the club so fast Cloud swore he never saw him move.

X_x_X_x

Cloud couldn't stop giggling, he didn't know why, but he just couldn't. Sephiroth didn't seem to mind, but it still made him feel stupid. He was also using the poor General as a leaning post, unable to keep completely upright at the moment no matter how hard he tried. He just hoped Sephiroth didn't care.

Sephiroth had never been happier. He had his blond under his arm, leaning into the embrace. Sure, Cloud was drunk and for some reason wildly amused by everything, but he was there and the General was able to touch him. It didn't really settle well that he would have to simply drop Cloud off though, but he wasn't going to do anything that would get him in trouble, not while Cloud was so obviously drunk. No, he was just going to drop Cloud off, go home, and work on his plan to completely win the blond over before the idiot came back.

All too soon they made it to Cloud's apartment, standing outside the door as the blond searched for his keys. After a moment he stopped cold. "Oh fuck," he muttered, "Reno's got the keys. Zack's got a spare, but he's at Aeris'. Crap. Oh well, looks like I'm sleeping in the hall."

"Why would you sleep in the hall?" Sephiroth looked down at the blond as he tried to work out that logic.

"I have nowhere else to go," Cloud shrugged as he plopped down on the ground.

Sighing heavily, the silver haired SOLDIER pulled the blond to his feet. "Come on, you can stay at my place for the night, it's better than a hallway."

"Oh…if it's okay," Cloud blushed so cutely that Sephiroth had to strangle the urge to kiss the blond.

"Of course it's okay," the silver haired male sent the blond his most charming smile and was pleased when his blush deepened.

Silently Sephiroth lead the blond to his own apartment, suppressing the urge to shout for joy the entire time. This was perfect. He was going to be able to show Cloud exactly what he could have. He'd need to make sure the blond saw him in all his glory, accidentally of course. He would be able to show Cloud exactly what he would get if he chose him over that Turk. Sephiroth would make him a breakfast worthy of a king in the morning, make him never want to leave, and make sure he was so wrapped up in his charm that the blond would never even think of Reno again.

Showing Cloud into his apartment, Sephiroth smiled at the awed look that crossed the blonde's face. He did have a nice place. A soft smile crossed the smaller male's face and he turned to look up at the General innocently. "Where will I be sleeping?"
