It was the Night before Christmas...

Author: ZombieDuke

Comments: In the world of Tarot and general mysticism (Jewish, I think), Sephiroth is a branch of the Yggdrasil (the tree of life) and if you manage to find the right book of spells, it can tell you how to call upon the nine Sephiroth's (or was it seven? I read it ages ago). Anyway, seeing as how 'JEHOVA' is seen as a false god in this game (and there IS a religion, which believes this and reincarnation that didn't come from the east. Now that I think about it, perhaps Aeris was of this sect. I believe the church killed most of them off during the middle ages but they also disappeared off to France and into its court.), why not add a little pagan mysticism, eh?

Warning: NC-17, fluff, M/M, no plot anywhere in sight.

Review: Is wonderful! Flamers are annoying. Especially when done by the same person. Remember folks, this is Christmas and even flamers should receive a small lump of coal in their stockings. By the way, nobody is holding a gun to your head, if you don't like the content. DO NOT READ IT. Press the back button or something. Just spare me your misspelling, 'creative' ways of spelling Anonymous and general bad grammar. Is that so much to ask for?

This chapter is dedicated to: Utterly Anonymous, I know it isn't Zack and Cloud but I hope this story is just a little merciful on Cloud's part.

Special Thanks to Lauren for pointing those errors out!

It was the Night before Christmas...
~~~


"What do you want for Christmas, Cloud?"

The blonde blinked and looked up from the book he was reading. "Christmas?" He rolled the word in his mouth, blankly staring at the man sitting across from him, not quite understanding what he meant.

Sephiroth ran a hand through his hair, not meeting Cloud's gaze and so he stood and walked over to the cupboards in the kitchen, pulling out a cup and some hot chocolate powder. "Christmas," he said, reaching over to snag the milk sitting on the table and set about to making the soothing drink. "It's a huge capitalistic creation made by some five lords of commerce to milk the working people out of their money." He finished, placing the cold drink in the microwave to heat it and turned to face the blonde while it heated. "So, what do you want for Christmas?"

Cloud stared at the silver-haired man like he had grown another head and frowned. "I-I-I'm not sure..." he started, putting his battle tactics book down on the table. "I've never celebrated Christmas before," Cloud mumbled, eyes wide as Sephiroth placed the hot chocolate before him. Zack had gone on a three-week mission and that would mean Cloud would be alone for all that time including the holidays. When Sephiroth had found out about this, he had given the blonde two options. One was that he would tie Cloud to his bed and leave him for when his job called, thus making him miss all his classes (even though there were just two because of the season) and pretty much everything else he needed to get into SOLDIER. Or, the other option was that Cloud moved in with him until Zack came back and 'help' him with his studies in the meantime. So the Cadet chose the latter and was learning stuff that wasn't even in the textbooks.

The General sat down once more and watched with narrowed eyes as Cloud blew off some of the steam and lightly dipped the tip of his tongue to feel the temperature of the drink. "Didn't you have Christmas in Nibelheim?" Sephiroth asked, sipping his coffee.

The Cadet shook his head, licking his lips at the sweetness of the cocoa. "I don't know if any of the other family's celebrated it, but my mom and I," he paused, and looked into his drink, watching the swirls of the heat coming off of it. "We... we celebrated the winter solstice instead," the blonde finished, his voice barely above a whisper. Nobody was supposed to know about that. Not even Zack knew about it and here he had gone and told Sephiroth. Why couldn't he keep his mouth shut? With that thought in mind, Cloud took a deep gulp of hot chocolate, biting his tongue as it slightly burned his throat.

A firm hand grasped his cup and pulled the drink away, Cloud blinked owlishly at the man and watched as he set the cup on the table. "It's alright," Sephiroth soothed, standing and walking over to the blonde. "I won't tell." With that said, Sephiroth gently ran his hands through Cloud's soft blonde hair, moving down to gently rub the back of his neck.

The blonde's eyes drifted shut and he moaned helplessly, leaning back against the soothing motions. That was another thing that Cloud didn't quite understand. Ever since he had moved in with the older General, the man hadn't touched him at all except to soothe him or made any passes at him and that was really confusing to Cloud. Especially since the young blonde was beginning to ache from not being fucked day and night and he wasn't exactly sure what to make of the situation.

"Come to bed," Sephiroth sighed, gently pulling the blonde to his feet. "Tomorrow's the start of my vacation and Christmas and I plan to spend at least one of those days in bed with you."

That was another thing that confused Cloud. Even though they slept in the same bed, (Sephiroth wouldn't have it any other way) the man still hadn't touched him and let the blonde sleep as much as he wanted. It was odd to say the least as Cloud stepped through the bedroom doorway and watched nervously as Sephiroth shut the door. Ever since the club incident, Cloud shivered at the memory, he just couldn't seem to shut his hormones off except for when he was studying and even then he had problems with it.

That train of thought was quickly derailed as Sephiroth pulled off his shirt, revealing hard muscles that could only be achieved if one trained their entire life for the sole purpose of combat. Cloud ran his eyes down the flat planes of the General's stomach, not realising that he was starring and blinked as Sephiroth gently chuckled. "You act like you've never seen anybody naked before," Teasing as it was, Cloud couldn't help but blush darkly.

"Z-Zack usually pounces of me in the middle of the night, or in the shower or at the table or-"

Sephiroth held up his hand, halting the blonde's explanation. "I get the picture."

Cloud bowed his head in embarrassment, why couldn't he just keep his mouth shut?

A tug on his shirt and Cloud glanced up, automatically raising his arms as Sephiroth pulled off his shirt. The man was a puzzle, the blonde thought as Sephiroth folded his shirt and placed it on the clothes hamper. It was almost like the silver-haired man wanted to take care of him.

"S-sir?"

A frown in his direction and Cloud smiled sheepishly. That was another thing the General wanted, as long as the two were alone, Cloud was supposed to call the General by his name, but habits have a tendency to die-hard.

"Sephiroth?"

"Yes?"

The blonde watched as the General pulled back the covers of the bed and looked up to watch the now wide-eyed cadet. "What is it?"

"Why aren't you fucking me?" Cloud blurted out; his cheeks and neck turning pink.

There was silence and Cloud turned his head away, rubbing his arms and trembled. Finally the sound of clothing sliding off and Cloud gasped as the larger man dragged his small frame onto the bed, the two of them ending up in such a position where Cloud ended up straddling Sephiroth's lap. Hesitantly, he placed his hands on the General's chest and looked into bright Mako Green eyes.

"Do you want me to fuck you Cloud?"

Cloud chewed on his bottom lip and bowed his head, his hands moving down to softly stroke Sephiroth's hard stomach. He felt warm hands slide over his arms and shoulders before they moved too gently rub his neck. He moaned softly, tilting his head to the side, feeling the battle roughened fingers slide across the soft skin of his throat. This was so very different; so slow and so wonderful. Cloud squirmed backwards on the lap he rested on and paused as Sephiroth ground his erection up against his bottom. He released a shaky breath and started rocking on the man's lap, feeling his eye's drift shut as Sephiroth returned the motion. One hand slide from around his neck, dragging blunt nails down the blonde's side before wrapping around his waist, adding pressure to the young cadet rocking motions.

He let out a soft moan and turned his face to left so that Sephiroth's hand now covered half of his cheek. Blue eye's opened and he met the darkening green, keeping their gaze's connected, he pressed a kiss into the roughed palm before flickering his tongue out to lick and nip on one of the finger tips that pressed against his mouth, drawing it in to suckle on the firm digit. A groan beneath him and he let the hand go to lean down and press a trembling kiss against Sephiroth's lips.

The young blonde could feel the hard erection that pressed against his clothed ass. That and the sheet that half-covered Sephiroth was the only thing keep them separated. He ground down hard on the erection beneath him, letting out a sharp gasp as the arm around his waist tightened and Sephiroth bucked up against him.

Suddenly he sat up, his body shaking, his lips swollen and he looked at the man beneath him. You wouldn't tell at first glance that he was aroused, no, only the harsh breathing and the eyes, the eyes told everything. Cloud licked his lips, watching as those eyes narrowed on his lips and he lifted his own hands, resting them on his hidden erection.

"Do you wanna see?" Cloud asked, starting to tremble from his arousal. Whenever he did this with Zack, the brunette would tell him to do it and Cloud needed to touch himself by this point.

Barely a nod and Cloud unzipped his pants, lifting his hips and breaking contact with Sephiroth. He managed to push them down as far as he could, which wasn't much considering he was straddling the silver-haired man, but he bared enough so the General could see what would happen. The blonde panted his eyes halfway closing and shivered at the tall man's gaze. With a shaking breath, he first gently dragged his dull nails across the length, letting out a yelp as he did so and couldn't help but bucking his hips in response. The grip around his waist tightened and Cloud moaned, tilting his head back as his hand wrapped around his erection, sliding the soft hand up and down his length, gently rocking his hips. The hand that had been around his neck reappeared and Cloud gasped as the grip slightly tightened around the front of his throat, keeping him locked in place and unable to move his head. His other hand was busy sliding up and down the arm around his waist, where he would run his fingers along Sephiroth's inner arm.

Everything becomes to much and Cloud starts to thrust faster and faster, losing the rhythm and he knows he's going to come soon and he can't help it but the hand around his waist stops him and the one holding his throat lets go to grab his now sticky hand. He pants and shakes, trembles and mewls, trying to rock his hips against the erection beneath him but to no avail. He's going to cry soon and knows it, feel the fat tears slide down his face and beg to be touched but Zack told him to never beg because he would be punished if he did so.

Sephiroth isn't Zack.

Shaking, Cloud leans down and kisses the silver-haired mans lips, trying to arch his hips for some sort of touch and whine's as he's held tight. Teeth nip on his lips and Cloud groans, losing him self in the intimate touch and pulls his mouth away, a thin string of saliva connecting the two.

"Please,"

Harsh panting beneath him and Cloud's afraid to look in those eyes, knowing he'll fall apart and sob and roll onto his stomach and beg to be filled again and again.

"'Please' what?"

Cloud whimpers, his mind overloaded and his balls tight, his cock aching.

"Touch me."

Silence and Cloud shakes, eyes closing and rests his head on Sephiroth's shoulder, feeling his eyes prickling with the telltale feel of tears. The hand that was holding his wrist lets go and Cloud opens his eyes, turning his head to lick at the throat before him, moments later the hand returns and pushes something cold into his cum covered hand. He lifts his head up, and sits back, his body still shaking just as badly as before and look's at what he's holding.

Its lubricant and Cloud nearly cries in happiness but then pauses and looks at Sephiroth in his desperate state of arousal.

"Take off you pants,"

Trembling, Cloud climbs off the man's lap and stands. He feels so dirty, standing before the silver-haired man and pushes off his pants and crawls onto the bed once more.

"No," Confusedly, Cloud glances at the tall man and once again is pulled onto his lap. "On me." Again he is confused and obediently sits up, his hands going to rest on Sephiroth's shoulders, keeping steady as the tall man pushes off the sheet that covered him. The blonde licks his lips, nearly moaning and wishes he could take the cock in his mouth and lick off the pre-cum that coats the head. He leans backward once more, inhaling sharply as the thick cock nests between in the cleft of his ass and eyes the lubricant once more.

"Give me your hands," With his body shaking, Cloud does as he's told and offers his hands, feeling a delicious shiver race through his body as the cold lubricant touches his hot palms. Placing the lubricant on the side table, Sephiroth takes the blonde's hands and leads them to the blonde's pale ass. A frightening whimper and Sephiroth glances at the blonde on his lap. "Haven't you done this to yourself?"

The cadet shakes his head, Zack never made him do it or told him too and gasps as the General pushes one of his slick fingers in along with his own. Cloud cries out, his back arching and tries to curl his finger, his hips twisting. He can't his finger in all the way and it's maddening. Another slicked finger pushes in and Cloud moans, his eyes closing. He doesn't realise that Sephiroth has pulled his hand away from his ass and Cloud pushes in a third finger, but this one doesn't go in as far as the others and he mewls at the contact. He starts to stretch himself, licking his lips as he rocks his hips, imagining the hard cock beneath him sliding into his young body. His other hand, still covered in lubricant goes to stroke his own erection but his wrist is captured and he opens his eyes, moaning as it wraps around something bigger. Grunts and groans beneath him and Cloud realises that even with his fingers wrapped around that thick length, his fingertips don't touch. Cloud lets go of the large cock and with a last twist of his hands, pulls his fingers from his slightly stretched ass.

He's confused now, not certain what to do and uses one hand to gently tug on the silver-haired man's shoulder, trying to make the larger man roll over on him. The firm grip around his wrist and Cloud stops, trying to control his breathing and gives a started squeak as Sephiroth lifts his waist, so the blonde is forced to rest both hands on both of the older Soldier's shoulders. His swollen lips are captured in another bruising kiss and he moans, only to let out a small shriek in the kiss as the General's cock starts to slide into his body. He pulls away and sits back, eyes going wide as the thick erection slides deep into his body. It feels different this time, larger, thicker and Cloud squirms on Sephiroth's lap, his waist held captive once more by the hands that are still sliding him down the older man's cock. Finally it ends and Cloud can only release choked whimpers and tries to lift his waist, to get the erection in him to move and shudders as he's held still. He can't move, his ass stretched to the maxim and desperately, in a attempt to relieve that tight feeling in the bottom of his stomach, reaches down to stroke himself only to wail as his hands are held captive in the firm grip of Sephiroth's left hand.

A lazy thrust beneath him and the blonde squeals, trying to buck back but cannot and falls forward, unable to hold him self up. Panting and finally feeling those tears begin to fall, he looks up mouth opening and closing as yet another lazy thrust into his body makes him speechless. A kiss to his forehead and he manages a whimper as his hips are pulled up, shuddering as he feels the cock within slide out until only the very tip remains. Then, just as suddenly, Sephiroth's flexes his hips and Cloud lets out a scream, feeling it slam into his body. He can't handle this. He has to move, he needs to buck backwards on that thick cock, he has to move!

With a shaking grip, Cloud slowly sits up, his hands let go and rests them on the silver-haired man's shoulders, he leans forword then and places pleading kiss along the man's neck, nipping in desperation to have his hips freed. The hand that had once been holding his wrists move to gently rub his back, attempting to soothe his young body and Cloud whimpers, licking and suckling the silver-haired man's Adams apple, letting out tiny coos as he tastes the salty skin of his throat. The arm around his waist finally lets go and moves to rest on his hip, the one that had been rubbing his back rests on his other hip and Cloud softly sobs as he's finally able to lift his hips. His body shaking, he pushes against Sephiroth's shoulder and resettles on the man's lap, letting out a shuddery breath as he slides back down on the cock within him. Then, hesitantly, just to make sure he's not being teased, he slightly raises his hips and moans as he slides back down, the hands on his hips, helping to lift him up and push him down. With this new freedom, Cloud sets his body to a faster pace, panting as he begins to rise up and slam back down, feeling Sephiroth meet his bodies demands. A slight twist of his hips and Cloud mewls as Sephiroth moans beneath him and gasps as the General starts to thrust faster, forcing the blonde to keep up with him.

Gasping and panting, the two meet in a breath stealing, soul searing kiss. The thrusting coming faster and one of the hands that had been holding onto his hips, lets go and wraps itself around his neglected cock. Cloud gasps and pulls away from the kisses and looks down, his eyes closing and holds onto the General tightly, rocking into both the hand that strokes him and the thick cock that fucks his small body. Cloud moaned then, his body tightening up and he began to buck in earnest, his lips caught once more in a hard kiss. He gasps, eyes squeezing shut as he felt himself covering the silver-haired man, his body tightening and mewled as Sephiroth started thrusting harder into his body and moments later, felt the hot spurts of cum cover his insides.

Panting, Cloud clung dearly to the older man, shaking as he felt everything become too sensitive to handle. The hand that held onto his hip let go, revealing faint bruises where he had held the blonde tightly and moved to gently stroke his lower back. The young blonde whimpers at the touch and lifts his head, his body exhausted beyond reason and shakes as he's gently kissed. Slowly, the silver-haired man eases the blonde off of him and lets the blonde flop to his side, the young cadet's body looking as though he was a puppet and someone had just cut his strings.

Equally, Sephiroth eases his own tired body and drags the sensitive blonde over to him, wrapping his strong arms around the youth's frame and pulls the covers over them. "Merry Christmas," He murmurs, receiving only a faint nuzzle in reply and fell asleep.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
