A Silent Answer to a Silent Question.

Reno reached for his keys, his hands shaking so much, he kept missing the lock. Cloud's hand closed around his, steadying it. Reno looked into the face next to him, smiling at him. Reno returned the smile, causing Cloud's heart to jump in his chest. they entered the apartment, kicking their shoes off.



Reno stood still, not quite believing he was home and safe.



Cloud moved throughout the rooms, turning lights on in the living room and kitchen. He opened a door, flicking the light switch, a small gasp escaping his lips, it was Reno's bedroom. The decor was dark, deep red walls and black wood furniture, yet the sheets, were pure white, the bed left unmade. He swallowed, drawing himself away he went to bathroom, and began to run the water before returning to the red head who was still by the door.



'Go take a shower, it will make you feel better' he said, gently ushering him towards his own bathroom. Cloud went to pull the door closed when reached out for him, a quizzical look on his face.



'Why are you helping me?' his voice tinged with doubt.



'I'm just that kinda guy..' he said '..and..' he swallowed '..I've always liked you Reno' pulling the door shut.



Reno reached for the door again, already missing the blond's presence. He removed the hoodie wrapped around him reluctantly, in-hailing the smell from it one more time before hanging it carefully on the back of the door, the rest of the clothes he shrugged off, letting them pool at his feet, not caring about them. He stepped under the running water.



The water felt amazing against his freezing skin, the temperature just right as he began to wash the aches and pains away. He pulled the band of his hair, letting it fall in tresses down his back. ~Cloud was right~ he thought ~I do feel better~



'..Cloud..' he whispered, he loved the way the name rolled of his tongue. ~Boy was I wrong about the infantry being a bunch of straights~ he chuckled slightly. He began to clean himself, rubbing foam over his aching frame, wincing as a flash of pain went through him as washed over his buttocks. He stood under the water for a long time, wishing the memories of that night were as easy to wash away as the bubbles down the drain. He turned off the water and stepped out into the chilly bathroom, reaching for a towel.



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



Cloud was in the kitchen, rummaging, attempting to assemble some form of comfort food. He stopped, the situation suddenly hitting him, he was helping Reno, in Reno's house, in Reno's kitchen, preparing Reno food. His breathing quickened. ~I've got no idea what happened to you, but I'll do anything i can to help you...Reno..~ He swallowed, and calmed himself down, getting back to the task at hand. He had found milk, cheese, eggs and ham, Cloud sighed 'Omelet it is then..' and went searching for a frying pan.



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



Reno opened the door with a towel around his waist, Cloud's hoodie clasped to his chest. The smell from he kitchen was inviting but he needed some clothes first. Finding the light already on, he pushed the door to and sat on the bed, his mind still reeling from the nights events. He shook his head, as to clear his thoughts. He went to his drawers and pulled some casual black pants, replacing the towel with them. He pulled a brush threw his flame red bangs, leaving it down for a change. Pulling the hoodie back over his clean skin he followed his nose.



Cloud was standing by the stove, his back to the door as Reno entered, leaning gently against the frame, he watched the blond at work. He was humming as moved whatever was in the pan around. He put the spatula down. '..Plate?..' he said to himself and started to look in the cupboard to his right.



'Top left' Reno said, causing Cloud to jump and turn around



'Wow' he whispered as he stared at the Turk. His hair was down, a crimson waterfall down his back and left shoulder, touching Cloud's own hoodie. ~If I ever get that back~ he thought ~I'm never washing it~



'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump'



Cloud nodded, it's all he could do. He retrieved a plate and dished up the omelet, carrying it to the table where Reno had already sat.



'It's not much, But I hope it makes you feel better' he said placing the steaming plate in front of the red head.



'It looks great yo' Reno smiled at him, before taking a fork to the fluffy mixture. As that first mouthful hit his tongue his stomach responded, he hadn't realized he was so hungry. He began to eat with vigor, Cloud watching him all the while, to make sure he ate it all. As he finished, he looked a little more like his old self. 'Thank you' he said



'Your welcome' he replied as he reached for the plate, when Reno's hand rested on his wrist, he returned to his seat.



'...I...guess I owe you as an explanation..' he said quietly, a haunted look in his eye.



Cloud placed his hand on top of Reno's, 'Not if you don't want too'



Reno took a deep breath, it all just coming out before he could stop.



'I was raped...by Rufus Shinra'



Cloud recoiled in horror...'What?!?!'



'I was late for work, as punishment I was guarding him as he went to The Gold Saucer, on the way back, he tied me up in the back of my own helicopter and...'



Reno squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block the memory and the tears that threatened.



Cloud's shock turned to anger at the thought of Rufus hurting Reno, anyone hurting Reno. He wanted to kill the bastard! He looked up, as Reno met his eyes, and the anger dissipated. He wanted to help him, to wash away the memories. He stood, pulling Reno with him, wrapping his arm around Reno's waist, his thumb stroking the mark on his cheek.



'I'm gonna make it better' he said, moving his hand to Reno's chin, tilting his head up, claiming his lips in a gentle kiss.



Reno melted into Cloud's strong arms, kissing back, loving the way Cloud tasted. He locked his arms around the blond's waist, trying to deepen the kiss, but Cloud kept it gentle. His hands began to play with Reno's hair, twirling it around his fingers, and got a moan in response. Cloud parted his lips further, and poked his tongue out, licking the kiss bruised lips of the Turk. Reno parted his own, his tongue coming out to meet Clouds. A shudder of electricity went through them both at the contact. Reno nails dug into the small of Cloud's back, getting a tug on his tresses in response.



The kiss deepened, Reno desperately trying to taste more of the infantryman. Cloud broke away, Reno whimpering as he did. Their eyes met, both searching for the answer to a silent question.



Reno reached out for Cloud's hand, stepping away and tugging on it gently. Cloud swallowed, it's everything he ever wanted...



'Are you sure you want this? Are you sure your ready?



He prayed the answer would be yes. God he wanted the red head, but not just for comfort right now, he wanted to be there forever...



Cloud pulled Reno back into his arms 'I...I think I love you Reno... the first time I saw you, my stomach clenched, and every time after that'



Reno looked shocked, he had no idea, he didn't remember ever feeling eyes on him. He went to open his mouth, but Cloud beat him too it.



'When you sat next to me in the cafeteria...your feel, your smell, it nearly sent me over the edge..'



'....I have a smell?....' Reno said quizzically.



Cloud smiled 'Oranges mainly...and ciggies..but,' his cheek flushed 'your lips taste of strawberries' biting his own lips.



'I don't wanna be a rebound, a comfort fuck in your time of need, or whatever it is...I want you Reno...I wanna be with you...forever..'



He trailed off, he had opened his heart and soul to the red head, and prayed they weren't about to be crushed.



Reno had held Cloud's gaze throughout, trying to take all in he had heard. He swallowed, feeling like he was getting lost in those mako infused eyes, he felt something knot in his chest that he had never felt before. It wasn't just the relief of rescue, he had been rescued before when work had gone a bit wrong, this was something else....



'...Strifey...'



Cloud eyes widened, then softened as he swept Reno into a passionate kiss. Reno responded feverishly, wrapping his arms around the blond's neck.



Cloud ran his hands down through the mass of red tresses, before squeezing Reno's ass gently upwards.



Reno reacted, jumping gently with the lift and wrapping his legs around the blond's waist, wincing slightly as he did.



Cloud pulled back, 'Are you okay?'



Reno locked ankles and nodded.



Cloud shifted his grip as Reno lent forward and began to nibble one of the infantryman's ears. He began to move through the apartment, heading for the bedroom, he couldn't wait to see Reno draped amongst those crisp white sheets. He kicked the door shut, and lowered Reno to the ground at the foot of the bed. He stood back a step, letting Reno take over.



The Turk placed his hands on the blond's chest, loving the way he felt through the thin material of his tee-shirt. A sighed escaped Cloud's mouth, enjoying the finger tips dancing on his chest.



'Up' Reno whispered, as he held the bottom of the dark blue garment. Cloud obliged, raising his arms above his head. With the shirt discarded on the floor, Reno turned his attention back to Cloud's exposed chest. He was beautiful, smooth, with defined muscles but not overly so. There was also not a mark on him, except his hip. Just above the waist band of his jeans was a small butterfly, all in black with swirls around it.



'Ah' Reno said with a smile 'Found it' He bent down, planting kisses along the swirls.



Cloud shuddered, he couldn't hold back anymore. He reached for his hoodie, and began to unzip it slowly. Reno shrugged and it fell to the floor. The Turk was slim, but strong as Cloud glided his fingers along the contours, his thumb teasing the silver bar through Reno's nipple.



A small moan escaped his mouth, he loved it when it was played with.



The noise went straight to Cloud's already growing erection. He pinged the waistband of Reno's slacks gently, getting a giggle before Reno pushed them down his legs, and kicking them aside.



Cloud stood for a moment, admiring the beautiful creature before him. He was smooth all the way down, bar the odd small scar from combat. His member, long and already quite hard jutted out from a patch of fire red hair. Cloud moved in for kiss, his hand dancing light finger tip traces down Reno's chest. They got lower and lower, his fingers curling and twirling in those flame red pubes. He gripped the shaft firmly, getting the vibrations of a gasp through his lips. He stroked it gently as he moved back from the kiss, running his tongue along one of the marks on the red head's cheek.



Reno threw his head back, his cock getting harder in Cloud's hand. He looked at the blond, a smirk spreading under those bright blue eyes.



'No fair' Reno said, catching his breath. He reached for Cloud's belt and began to undo it, holding the blond's gaze as he did. Cloud shifted and stood up straight, giving Reno better access.



With the belt gone, Reno popped the button and pulled the zip slowly, his knuckles grazing against the bulge within. Cloud wiggled his hips, the jeans sliding down to his ankles before being kicked aside. He stood in just black boxers.



Reno reached for the waistband, pulling it back and peeping inside, like a child stealing naughty looks at Christmas presents early. He looked up at Cloud, a grin on his face as he reached inside.



Cloud moaned as Reno grabbed him firmly at first, then his touch became light, stroking gently and slowly, making the length even harder.



Reno kneeled down in front of Cloud, taking the boxers with him, his face in line with Cloud’s groin. His long cock tipped with pre-cum and based with soft blond down was just too tempting. His tongue flicked out slowly, just catching the salty tip.



Cloud gasped, his knees nearly buckling beneath him. Reno stood, almost giggling at the pleasure on Cloud’s face.



‘Touché’ Cloud said raising an eyebrow.



Reno sat and slid up into the mess of white sheets, his hand reaching out, beckoning Cloud too him.



Cloud breath caught in his throat, his dream, naked Reno in white sheets, was right before him. His whole body flushed with warmth, rushing to his groin, his rock hard cock beginning to ache and drip. He followed Reno up the bed, coming to rest above the flame haired Turk.



‘I...’ Cloud began to say before he was hushed by a slender finger on his lips.



‘You’ve already done enough to wash him away’ Reno said with a sad look in his eyes.



Cloud smiled at the fact he had, and he was proud of Reno, it must of been hard to say.



Reno thrust his hip upwards, grinding their erections together in a burst of heat and gasps.



‘Make your own mark!’ he growled, the fire returning to his eyes, as he wrapped his arms around Cloud, digging his nails in the blond’s shoulders, causing him to throw his head, a hiss escaping his lips.



Cloud lent forward planting chaste kisses on Reno’s forehead, nose and lips before running his tongue over the exposed throat. He kissed his way down Reno’s chest, taking the small silver bar in his mouth, his tongue flicking at it while his fingers worked on the other hard nipple.



Reno was mewing constantly, loving the way those lips felt against his skin. He wrapped his fingers in Cloud’s spikey bangs, tugging the tresses gently.



Cloud loved the intoxicating smell of the man beneath him as his lips trailed further. He dipped his tongue into Reno’s belly button, wondering what reaction it would get. A loud moan and a tightened grip in his hair showed a positive one, he did it again before moving lower.



A whimper escaped Reno’s mouth as Cloud by passed his aching cock altogether to nip and lick his inner thighs instead.



Reno wasn’t left whimpering for long, his knees were raised and a warm wet mouth enveloped one of his balls.



‘Oh God!’ Reno screamed, his nails digging in to Cloud’s scalp.

Cloud smirked, before releasing it and moved his head lower. Using Reno’s trick from earlier, his tongue gently flicked out, just catching the tight still bruised entrance.



‘Ah sweet G..AH!’ Reno managed to stammer out, his head thrown back, arms spread, knuckles as white as the sheets he gripped.



Cloud moved back up, planting kisses on Reno’s heaving chest as the red head tried to regulate his breathing. Their eyes met, the hunger and need in both set of blue shiny orbs being read by the other without a single word exchanged.



‘Have you got any lube?’ Cloud asked



‘Top draw’ Reno replied, still panting slightly, looking at the bedside table to his left.



Cloud crawled over and began to rummage around.



Reno’s hand snaked up and began to stroke Cloud’s ridged cock, getting a throaty growl from the blond as his thumb was drawn over the slit.



Cloud found what he was looking for and shifted back, to see Reno sucking on his thumb gently



‘Mmmm..so sweet.’ he smirked as his tongue roamed around his digit.



Cloud leaned down for a chaste kiss, a hint of his own seed on those quivering lips before moving back to settle between Reno’s spread legs. He dipped his finger in the cool slick lube before looking up.



‘Are you sure?’ he asked swallowing, he got a nod in response.



‘Tell me to stop whenever you want’ as he lowered his finger to circle Reno’s hole.



The red head’s breathing became heavier, half from fear, half from anticipation.



Cloud slid his finger inside, he was so tight despite the assault earlier. A hiss came from up the bed at the penetration. Cloud kept his finger still, allowing Reno to get used to it. He felt the walls gripping his finger relax, he began to slide it in and out gently.



Reno’s eyes were tightly shut. His breath hissing through his clenched teeth. The sensation changed from pain to pleasure as Cloud slowly finger fucked him, he relaxed a bit more.



Cloud, feeling him relax, added a second finger, and began to scissor gently, stretching the red head. He twisted his fingers, curling the tips as he thrust, feeling around for the small soft pebble he knew was there.



'AH GOD!!' Reno screamed as Cloud fingers glazed over his prostate.



A smirk spread across Cloud's face as his fingers moved in and out, hitting the red head's sweet spot every time.



Reno was in ecstasy, his hair was sprawled around him as he threw his head from side to side, his fists full of white sheets. He couldn't hold on anymore.



'Cloud...' he whispered through shallow breaths.



Cloud looked up to be met by pleading eyes. He nodded, slowly removing his fingers, noticing the whimper as he did. He pulled Reno up into his embrace, raising him and placing the hard throbbing head of his cock against the red heads opening.



Reno gripped Cloud's shoulders tightly.



Planting chaste kisses on Reno's neck to keep him relaxed, he slowly lowered him onto his shaft.



Reno cried out, throwing his head back, the kisses still trailing down his throat as he went lower and lower until he had the whole of Cloud's length buried in him.



Cloud remained still, letting Reno get used to the feeling for a moment. He lowered him to the bed, raising his legs to rest on his shoulders, he began to move in short slow thrusts. Reno's mewings were music to his ears, he sped up, keeping a steady pace for a while. Stopping every now and then to pull out almost completely before burying himself to the hilt, then resuming his ever increasing pace. He could feel the burning in the pit of his stomach, he was getting close. He wrapped his fingers around Reno's dripping cock, matching his pumps to his thrusts.



Reno was moaning loudly, his hands griping the bars of his bed for leverage, his hips raising to match Cloud's every thrust.

One of his hands reached to Cloud.



Without breaking rhythm, he pulled Reno into his arms, their eyes locked to each others as they both neared climax.



Reno came first, the double stimulation just too much. He threw his head back, gripping Cloud's shoulders tightly, screaming his lovers name as his whole body shuddered, the heat that had pooled his groin exploding throughout his entire body, rocking him to his very soul.



Cloud kept going, even as blood trickled down his back from the nails buried in his shoulders, and Reno hot seed dripping from his stomach and hand. As Reno's tight walls clamped down, he burst, a throaty growl escaping as he released his load into the shuddering body in his arms.



They remained locked in each others embrace as they came down from their releases. Cloud shifted, laying Reno down, before gently pulling out and laying beside him. Gathering the rumpled sheets around them both.



Reno turned to face the blond, wrapping his arms around his waist, resting his head against the sweat slicked chest. Cloud panting kisses on his forehead.



'I love you' Cloud whispered, squeezing the body next to him tighter.



Reno moved to stare at the man beneath him, those beautiful blue eyes still sparkling in the darkness.



'I love you too...Strifey' leaning in for a gently kiss.



They settled beneath the white sheets, the bodies entwined as sleep came swiftly and peacefully to the new lovers.



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



'Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Bee.....' Reno hit his alarm.



'I hate that fucking thing' he cursed curling back into the warm body next to him.



'I gotta get up for work babe yo' he said through kisses to the blond's chest. He went to get out of bed, an arm snaking around his waist, pulling him back amongst the sheets



'Reno', a sleepy voiced filled his ears as Cloud began to nibble at the silver ring in the red head's lobe.



'I wish I could stay, but it was being late that got into majorly bad trouble yesturday' he shuddered at the thought. He tried to detangle himself, but Cloud shifted, pinning him between the blond and the bed.



'Reno he whispered again as he kissed a trail down his throat.



'Cloud... I can't..' he moaned as a tongue found his nipple bar again.



'Reno...'



'What?!?' he snapped, glaring at the blond intently.



'...It's Saturday..'



'You Bastard!' Reno said wrapping his arms Cloud's neck, bringing him down for a passionate kiss.
