Shower

..........

The second shower of the evening and all thanks to that man…



~nearly naked man~



… that was now sleeping in his bed, getting over his drunken stupor. Zack was tormented with his own inner thoughts tormenting him and they all rotated around Cloud. Images of how Cloud had moved his hips when he wiggled out of his jeans made him lean against the wall of his shower and gasp. All the movements and words and …



~teases~



…giggles from the normally stoic man.



He was beginning to wonder if he had to thank or kill Reno for tricking Cloud into that silly drinking contest.



He thought back to the phone call. Did they really talk about his ass? What else did they talk about? What did Reno call him? The Fair Prince. Where did that come from?



~ your last name you idiot ~



He frowned at himself and grabbed the soap. He didn’t clean himself in his last cold shower and he was still hurting from all that teasing and then kneeling in front of the wiggling and nearly naked Cloud.



~all you had to do was remove his boxers and he would be naked ~



“Damn it,” he whispered and looked down at his painfully erect groin. Everything that Cloud had done tonight had made him all the more tense.



~the word is aroused~



Yeah. He defiantly aroused. He reached down with the soap and touched himself. He used one hand to lean against the shower and moved his hand in practiced motion on his arousal. Of course this time, he had images and memories of Cloud’s touches running through his head.



“Damn it,” he muttered as he thought about how Cloud’s hips had moved when those jeans had been removed…the ways his lips felt when he gave him those pills… the way his hand massaged his thigh… the way he chuckled and giggled…how his breath hitched when they were talking in the bathroom…He groaned heavily and leaned more heavily against the wall and increased the pace with his other hand. He closed his eyes and imagined how Cloud’s hip bone…



~ that’s not the bone you are thinking about ~



… would taste. How his lips would taste if he were to kiss them and how he could make some more adorable moans and groans come out of those lips.



~ you could make his scream your name ~



His inner voice took him over the edge. His belly was so tight as the rush of his own orgasm came. He whimpered Cloud’s name as his knees buckled.



“Damn it,” he muttered in a breathless tone.



He did admitted that he had thought about Cloud in the past but now as he sat gasping in the shower, trying to get enough strength to stand again. How did he start thinking about Cloud as a sexy…



~ wants you to take advantage of him ~



… damn giggly drunk. Cloud had gotten under his skin completely now.



How could he ignore the feelings that he was having now? Hell, he had already confessed them, even if Cloud was snoring.



He got enough strength to stand now and allowed the cooling water to rinse him off. He rushed to wash his hair and then got out and got dressed back in those simple cotton pants.



He looked at the door to his bedroom and the small loveseat in the living room.



He decided on the bedroom. It made him all nervous with these thoughts running through his mind, but he knew that he didn’t want to not be beside Cloud.



~ damn it ~



Even his inner voice was cursing now.



Cloud had not moved for where he had left him. He was still cuddled under the blanket and looked so …



~ kissable~



…relaxed and calm.



Zack approached the bed and crawled in on the other side, being brave by crawling under the covers. He had fought monsters, dealt with a grumpy Sephiroth and he was reduced to a quivering fool around a young infantry man, who had been being a terrible tease.



He wanted to touch Cloud’s back but held back. Was that too much…



~he kept grabbing your ass, you can touch his arm at least.~



… to quick? They had not talked about anything yet but he wanted to touch…



~ his ass ~



…the man that was giving off such warmth.



He couldn’t move. He couldn’t have moved even if someone had been trying to skewer him with a sword. He wanted to but he found that his breath was coming too shallow and he was uncertain of how Cloud would truly act when he was sober.



He didn’t have to move though.



Cloud moved, which stopped his inner turmoil. Cloud reached for him in his sleep and turned towards him. He quickly took the hand in his own. He knew that he probably should turn down the hands that were clutching his. He should go sleep on his uncomfortable loveseat. He should be the good and caring commander and just make sure that he was okay in the morning and send him back to the barracks. Cloud’s face turned to him and he was still sleeping and smiling.



He clutched the warm hand tightly in his own.



It was such a warm feeling and he realized and he could get used to this.



Most definitely.



.................... .......... .......... ....................



Reno knocked on the door. He had tried both Zack’s and Cloud’s cell phone but they had shut them off after his fifth try of each. He couldn’t help but grin widely. It was nearly noon now. He knew from the last conversation that they were in Zack’s place. He knew that Cloud was in there and he wanted to know what had happened. He knew curiosity killed the cat and all, but there was no saying involving Turks.



“Hello?” He knocked again. “Are you two awake yet?”



The door opened and Zack stood there, just wearing his pyjamas bottoms. He looked quite annoyed.



“Turk,” Zack said in a curt voice.



“SOLDIER,” Reno said and pushed his way in. “Is SOLDIER wannabe here?”



“He’s here,” Zack said.



“I brought the ultimate hangover remedy!” Reno said as he held a tray of drinks in thermal paper cups. “You look a little tired, there Zacky.”



Reno smiled as he walked in and saw Cloud sitting on the couch and giving him a bleary and slow smile. “Coffee.” A shaky hand reached toward the tray that he held. Reno handed the very hung-over looking infantryman a cup. He sure looked shaky. Man, he was grateful for his almost supernatural power from recovering from a night of heavy drinking.



Tseng was the first to comment on how quickly he recovered from his drinking like that and it was greatly amusing to have it referred to as a superpower. It was a damn cool superpower to have and he planned on flaunting it as often as possible.



He watched as Cloud held the cup like it was full of the most precious thing in the world. He also was not looking up. Was there a flush on his cheeks? Oh yeah.



He watched as Zack sat beside him and grabbed one of the cups and leaned back into the small couch.



He wondered what had really happened last night between the two. He was going to have to dig for details. If only he had been more coherent in the phone call he could have got more answers.



“You seem to be taking your defeat well,” Zack said. “Getting defeated by a half-pint like Cloud.”



Cloud frowned at the comment but didn’t say anything. Reno smiled at how closely they sat to each other. He made himself comfortable on the chair and took his own cup of coffee. They were almost touching.



“Hey, I’ll beat him next time. I was just tired from my last mission, is all,” Reno defended.



Cloud groaned at what he said and took a sip of the coffee. He winced slightly at the taste but said nothing. After all, it was his hangover remedy.



“Next time. I don’t think so,” Zack said and took the lid off of his coffee, but he hadn’t taken a sip yet. “You have done enough damage already.” Wow. Zack was already acting overprotective. Cloud wasn’t even noticing.



“Pfft,” Reno said. “Aw, come on. I know you had a good time last night.”



Cloud groaned a bit and rubbed his forehead. “If you call puking and having a monster headache a good part of the night a good time.”



He watched as Zack put a comforting hand on Cloud shoulder, gave it a small rub and then pulled it back.



Reno noticed how that Cloud hair was messed up and he was wearing a pair of what looked like a pair of Zack’s pants for they hung to low on his hips that you could see that was a pair of dark blue boxers beneath. He looked a little pale and his eyes looked like they wanted to collapse shut. He was even swaying a little bit. When Zack touched him, Cloud had moved toward the touch, ever so slightly.



Oh yeah. Something happened. He would just have to figure it out what. He knew he was grinning and didn’t bother to hide it.



Zack turned his back to him. “Yeah. Great. A dunk Cloud, correction, a drunk giggly Cloud was quite a handful to deal with.”



“Hey,” Cloud said. He looked slightly offended but seemed to be content to take another drink of the hangover remedy.



“Well, you were!” Zack said in a slightly softer tone.



“Oh, I bet,” Reno chuckled.



“What is that supposed to mean?” Zack said as he turned back to look at him.



Reno shrugged his shoulders. “Just saying, is all.”



“You are a pest, you know that, right?” Zack said.



Reno laughed. “So. What happened?”



“Thanks for the coffee Reno, you can go how,” Zack said. He was getting that annoyed look. He leaned forward a bit. Did Zack even realize that it looked like he was protecting Cloud from him?



“I don’t have to be at work until 2, yo,” Reno said. “How ya feelin’ there Cloudy? You look a little bleary eyed.”



“Huh?” Cloud said and looked at him; he blinked a few times at him as if he had not been listening to the last bit of the conversation. “I beat you.” Cloud said with a crooked smile. His mind was still a few sentence back.



“Pfft! I told you, I was just tired. That is all.” Reno defended.



“Yeah, right. You paid last night bill right?” Cloud said and took a sip of the coffee and grimaced. Reno wondered if he had mixed it to strong. Cloud was not protesting though. He held back a grin as Cloud brought up the bets that they had made. It was the opening in the conversation that he was going to need to get more information out of him.



“I paid,” Zack said. “I was the only semi sober one there. Rude took off with your lame ass.”



“Reno needs to pay you then and the next time, he pays too,” Cloud said and took a deeper drink of the coffee. Cloud pinched his nose as if a headache was taking over him.



Zack looked at him with concern but didn’t move to comfort him. His hand twitched like he wanted to though.



“Oh, you will defiantly pay,” Zack said as took a sip of his coffee. He made a gasping sound and then laid on a terrible glair at him. “What the hell! There’s bailey’s in here! Can’t you lay off for a couple of hours?” Reno tried really hard not to smile that was threatening to break across his face. He didn’t succeed all to well from the increased glare that Zack was giving him.



“Umm, baileys,” Cloud said with almost a hum in his voice and took another drink. “Good stuff.”



“Hey. You know, a little hair of the dog…” Reno stopped at the now death look that he was getting from the SOLDIER. “Hey, yo, it is all …”



Zack put own cup down and took the cup from Cloud. Yep, overprotective all right.



“Hey!” Cloud protested. “I need that!”



“I will make some coffee without Reno’s hangover cure,” Zack said and stood. “Don’t drink anymore of that. Really!” The last word and an accusing finger were directed at him as he went into the kitchen to make some boring old plain coffee.



Reno smirked and drank his own coffee. Baileys was the best for hangovers, he drank it in his coffee all the time. He had given the flavoured coffee to Cloud a couple times now and he knew that Cloud enjoyed it. Of course, this was a little stronger than what he normally gave Cloud.



He could see the frown on Cloud’s face as he looked at the cup that was no longer in his hand.



“So?” He smiled at Cloud, drawing out the word as he spoke.



“What?” Cloud said looking at him with an innocent look that he should defiantly patent because he had it down. And he knew that Cloud was not that innocent of a guy. Especially after the conversation they had the bar last night.



Reno moved into the spot that Zack just vacated and leaned in towards Cloud. Cloud flinched slightly and then blushed something fierce. Oh yeah. He needed to know what was going on for certain. He needed to know what happened.



“Did you?” he said in a hushed whisper.



“What?” Cloud said again.



“Did you?” he said again and raised his eyebrows and puckered his lips. “With Mr. Fair Prince over there? Huh? The second wager?”



Cloud cringed a little in the couch, “I… I… don…don’t really…”



“Don’t bullshit me, here. I can see it all over your face.” Reno said. “How far did you go?” Reno leaned a little closer to whisper. “Did you at least squeeze his ass?”



He swallowed and chewed his lip that showed that there had been definitely something that happened. He most defiantly had his hands on Zack Fair ass at some point in the evening.



“Spill or you forfeit your second bet, man,” Reno said. “Did you guys kiss? Did you guys fool around?”



Cloud sputtered and looked to the kitchen where Zack was still working on getting his coffee machine to work. “Reno.” His voice was low and a little tense.



“If you want to have that reservation at Monteno, you will have to kiss and tell, bud,” Reno said. “And you will tell me. I want details.”



Cloud’s eyes darted to the kitchen.



Cloud opened his mouth, but then snapped it shut again with a groan. Reno was even more curious than before. He was quickly turning back into the brooding skittish Cloud. He had to get the information out of him before he was going to close up again.



“No way, blonde, I need to see proof,” Reno said with a tease.



“Proof of what?” Zack asked as walked out of the kitchen. He could hear a coffee maker sputtering in the kitchen. Man, he needed to update his appliance, the thing sounded like it was going to die.



Cloud looked over at the cooling cup of coffee that he was no longer drinking.

“What kind of proof?” Cloud asked looking a bit nervous.



Maybe they didn’t go as far as he had hoped they had. Man, he couldn’t read them at all, they were so guarded. There were so many mixed messages they were giving off.



Reno chuckled though at how red his face was. Oh, there was something that was getting to him. He needed to loosen up a bit more. He should have just brought the bottle of Baileys. Thing would defiantly get interesting if he had brought that. That is if Zack would let them drink it.



“Reno? Proof of what?” Zack said his voice low and calm and more than a little threatening. Reno was about to answer, when Zack placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned closer to him. It was a little bit intimidating. “Does it have something to do with my ass? I understand that it was a big topic of conversation.”



Cloud gave a little groan and blushed even heavier.



“Well, ah, you know,” Reno chuckled. Did Zack listen in on his conversation with Cloud that he had earlier. Maybe he had Cloud on the speaker phone. He couldn’t tell if he was mad or what. Did he tell Zack that he liked his ass? Man, he wished they would be giving off clear signals. “We had another little side bet going on. That’s all.”



“Oh? And what was that?” Zack said.



“Just a little dare,” Reno smirked, “but I need Cloud to give me proof,” Reno smiled and looked closer to the very embarrassed blond who was now staring at his lap and looking like he really wanted that baileys infused coffee.



“A dare?” Zack said.



“Yep. Need some solid evidence,” Reno said. “Wouldn’t have any of that would ya?”



“Reno,” Cloud whined. He was so red! He was damn cute when he was blushing.



“No compromising on this, blonde.” Reno said.



Zack suddenly had a big smile on his face and a strange sparkling in his eyes.



Zack sighed and walked around the loveseat and sat on the armrest beside Cloud. His arm casually resting behind Clouds shoulders, but not touching, and in a sort of leaning pose. “What kind of proof is he looking for, Cloud?”



Reno blinked and took a drink of his flavoured coffee. It hid the loud swallow that he just did. Zack without his shirt was damn sexy and the way he was leaning was nothing more than a perfect specimen of a man and the fool didn’t notice that.



Cloud licked his lips, his eyes darted towards Reno and then toward Zack. He looked back down at his lap and chewed his lip in that cute way that he did.



“Solid evidence,” Reno said. “I will not go out of my way to get you all set up, yo, without solid evidence. If you want to get a reservation at Monteno’s I need the proof.”



He looked at the two. Cloud was looking all nervous and refusing to look up from his hands and Zack looked like he was unsure of something or he was changing his mind.



They both looked a little awkward.



They both looked adorable.



Yeah. Something happened alright; he just wished they would spill the beans already!



“Well, I do have to be going, I have work to do and all,” Reno said. “Just wanted to make sure that my two favourite guys were doing all right and all. Hey, well, at least I won’t have to pay up on the second bet, yo?”



The indecisive look that Zack had once on his face, was now gone and was replaced with a smile and he wasn’t hiding it. Cloud looked relieved, but then, he wasn’t seeing that wolfish smile on Zack’s face.



Reno stood smoothly, finishing his coffee. Zack smile, if it was possible, grew wider. It was a little unnerving. Zack cleared his throat, “I heard some great things about Monteno’s.”



Cloud’s eyes grew wide at the words and looked up. He looked like he was going to say something but didn’t get the time.



Reno was shocked as one of Zack’s hands went to Clouds face and caressed it gently as he leaned a bit awkwardly but gracefully that caused the muscles in his bare back and stomach to ripple as he did so. In the same graceful motion he lowered his head at an angle and his lips touched Clouds.



~Holy shit, that is so fucking hot~



He watched as their lips moved together. Cloud’s shocked eyes closed as he reached into the kiss and he could see that there was some tongue wrestling going on there.



“Wow,” he whispered as he watched the kiss look like it was going to go on forever and he wished it would.



~so very hot!~



At the sound of his voice, Zack opened his eyes and looked at him and broke the kiss. Cloud leaned back on the couch. His flush was so different now, not embarrassed but…



~aroused~



…content.



Zack was off the arm of the couch and he felt a rough hand on the back of his neck and before he knew it he was thrust out the door in a quick throw.



“Hey!” he yelled as the door slammed into his face.



Zack opened the door and peered through. “Set up that reservation, Reno.”



“Hey!”



The door stayed closed this time.



“Damn it,” Reno muttered.
