FFVII and Cloud not mine; Atlas is. No profit. We all know this…
Cloud's Little Partner
"SOLDIER 3rd Class, Atlas Southern-Cross, sir! I-I'm looking for M-Mr. Cloud Strife of… of 1st Class!" The SOLDIER recruit was tense beyond belief as he stood before the spiky-haired blond, one of his superiors. His eyes were pressed shut, veiled by long, fern-green bangs like palm leaves. His incredibly long ponytail was brought over his right shoulder as he hung his head in his nervousness. His body trembled, and once, he nearly dropped his helmet under his arm. "I… I was assigned to be Mr. Strife's p-partner for a while," the teenage gunner spattered, "Could… Could you t-t-tell me where I might find him, please?"
Cloud stared at this weird guy. He was rather cute in his shyness, but his hair color was really… green. The boy's eyes were shut, so perhaps that was why he didn't recognize him. "I am Cloud Strife. So, you're Atlas Southern-Cross…" When Cloud first heard that he would have a new partner, he thought that things would get boring, but, he was beginning to enjoy what hadn't even begun yet…
Atlas' eyes snapped open. He looked up, a well-built and handsome blond man coming into his focus. His face shot with redness, his rose-red eyes glittering with wonder. He didn't expect to coincidentally ask his new superior about where to find himself, and he CERTAINLY didn't expect his new superior to be so cute! He stood at attention with customized pistols at his sides. "Ah! I-I'm… very pleased to meet you, sir! 3rd Class Gunner Atlas Southern-Cross! M-My expertise is in ranged combat and spell casting! I hope… not to be a burden to you, sir!" Atlas bowed once, still showing stiffness in his body.
Cloud was amused by the sudden redness of his new, little partner. It matched his rosy eyes, which were as original as his hair. That made Atlas a very interesting young man. "Neither do I. Please, don't call me 'sir.' As partners, we should speak naturally, wouldn't you agree?" The blond glanced at the elevators doors when they opened, and waited until the SOLDIERs within poured out. "Let's continue talking in my apartment. It's always good to know your partner, after all."
Atlas bowed again. "Y-yes, sir—I mean, C… Mr. Strife… Pardon me. I'm not accustomed to addressing my superiors by first name. Uh, yes, we should acquaint ourselves before missions!" Ever the naive type, despite being a gun prodigy, Atlas was clueless to the stresses that Cloud usually needed to alleviate with masturbation. Now that they were partners, Cloud had no need for his hand to meet his cock anymore; Atlas would be his stress-relieving little bitch.
"Come with me." The two walked into the open elevator, and Cloud led Atlas to his apartment. Once they were in, the blond suddenly pushed the younger man against the closed door. "You have a cute face…" he murmured within mere inches, "I like how soft your lips look. Let me taste them." He pressed his mouth against the Atlas'. Indeed, they were soft, and sweet. It had a while since Cloud had actual sex. Now, his cock came to life! He couldn't resist grinding himself against the smaller body. He simply needed to feel as much of the boy as he could.
Cloud's soft lips against his own brought Atlas to excitement, instantly hardening him. In his wide-eyed shock, he whimpered like a puppy as both bishônen's confined penises pressed together. "Mm! Ah! M-Mr. Strife!" The boy was paralyzed with arousal, a fire consuming his insides. This hot swordsman who he was ordered to serve wanted his body right then and there!
Atlas didn't want to move…
Cloud could feel Atlas' arousal against his thigh. He started to rock his hips against the younger's, his hands stroking the green ponytail. His partner was responding well with his soft moans that drove the blond crazy. However, he couldn't just take the boy against the door. He backed up until his eager hands could barely touch Atlas' arms. "Let's take this to the bedroom, shall we?" Without waiting for a response, he desperately snatched the boy into his room.
Atlas felt swept away by all that was happening. Not once did he flail or object when he was shoved onto the bed. He may have been naive, but he knew what was going on. He wanted this, and he couldn't deny it. "Mr. Strife… I…" He was near breathless.
Cloud kissed Atlas' jaw bone before moving up to capture his earlobe. "Yes, Atlas?" He caressed his younger partner's chest, under his uniform shirt, feeling the smooth, dark skin. He paused there in wait for the 3rd Class' response.
"I… I want to be a good partner for you…" the lesser SOLDIER panted, trembling slightly, "Please… Let me act."
He tried to, but Cloud couldn't repress a little smile. "Very well, then…" He dismounted the green-haired teen and sat back with legs apart, grinning at Atlas. "Show me what you can do."
Although he was nervous, Atlas knelt between Cloud's separated legs and unzipped his pants. His heart stopped when he pulled out his superior's cock. "Wha…!? So… big…!" he whispered to himself as he held the organ in a loose grip. He gulped audibly, staring in awe. After mentally resolving himself, he leaned forward and licked the proud-standing cock, his face glowing red.
Cloud groaned as the rough tongue swept along the smooth underside of his cock. If Atlas could lose his shyness, he'd be an incredible sex partner. This little one was surely one of the most erotic pleasures he could ever indulge in. He felt it best for Atlas to ease into this apparently new transition.
Atlas looked up for approval. "Does… it feel good, sir…? I mean, Mr. Strife?" he shyly asked.
"It does, and please, it's Cloud. We're past formalities, at this point." Cloud stroked his little one's soft, green hair. "Please, continue."
Atlas nodded. "O-Okay… Cloud…" He felt so privileged to be allowed to speak so informally to his superior. Now with renewed determination, he took Cloud's whole cock into his mouth and sucked while making the sweetest little moans. He wanted to please Cloud as best as he could, even with no sexual experience. He only knew of these actions based on instinct and curiosity.
"Oh, Gods…" Cloud moaned, bucking forward. Atlas displayed such innocence, but could he really be a virgin with such talent? Those adorable sounds! The vibrations surged up Cloud's member, making everything more enjoyable. If this continued any more than he would expect, Cloud would surely break. He gently squeezed the boy's shoulder. "Stop, Atlas…"
"Cloud…?" the longhaired lad asked as he looked up. He looked down again after a moment. "Am… Am I… not good enough for you, Cloud?" He really looked disheartened by that thought. "I want to be your best partner… I don't want to disappoint you…"
"No, it's not that… In fact, it's the opposite; you're about to make me come too soon." Cloud smiled at the young gunner. "Let me see your skin, your body," he requested, caressing the warm cheek.
Atlas felt a sudden force press his breath out. "I… I am only 17, Cloud… Are you sure that a boy at my age can…? Am I…?" He looked down at his own bulge, ashamed. "Do you really… want ME?" he finally asked.
Cloud pressed his lips to Atlas'. "Of course I want you," he said assertively after the kiss, "Do you think because of your hair color or your age that I wouldn't want you? To Hell if I didn't want someone like you for so long!" He flipped Atlas over, thus pinning him, and trailed kisses and littles bits along his jaw bone and down his neck. "Are you sure that you want to lose your virginity to someone like me?"
The boy was speechless for a good while, gazing into Cloud's deep blue eyes. "Cloud…" he finally whispered. Atlas touched his lips in thought, and then looked back up at Cloud. "I want you. I want to give my innocence to you. Take me, please, all of me!"
Cloud nodded, smiling. "Then I'll take all of you." Cloud once again claimed Atlas' lips, humping the bulge between the 3rd Class' legs. He kissed the boy's neck while gently removing his belts shirt. He admired the gorgeous chest before him. Atlas wasn't as little as Cloud thought he would be, the muscles not too developed, but still visible. He liked that. For a while, he kissed and nibbled that chest, looking forward the littles moans and gasps he received.
Within a minute, Atlas was stripped of all clothing. He lay beneath Cloud in full nudity, redder like never before. Again, he wasn't as well built as Cloud, being only 17, but he still looked appealing for a boy of his age. His dark skin was mildly decorated with beads of sweat. A small forest adorned the base of his erect cock. "Cloud… Am I still what you want?" he asked, his hands covering his excited penis.
"Don't hide yourself." Cloud took Atlas' right hand and kissed each knuckle very softly. "Yes, I want you more than ever. Now, help me with my clothes."
"Cloud… Okay." Atlas undid Cloud's belt and threw it over the side of the bed. Slowly, hesitantly, he peeled the blond's shirt off. He gasped at the body underneath. "You…!" The teen shook his head and continued. When the two switched positions again, Atlas removed Cloud's boots and slid his pants and brief down. Again, but more heavily, he gasped. "Cloud, you…!"
Cloud chuckled. "Something wrong?"
"N-No!" Atlas stared at Cloud's naked body, captivated. "You… You're… so beautiful…"
Cloud blinked, amused by the sudden admiration from his partner. "So are you, but…" He gripped the boy's shoulders, inching closer to whisper in his ear. "If you're not careful, I could take you here and now, without preparation…"
Atlas shivered as soft words buzzed into his ear. "Cloud… I want you to take me," he pleaded, his arms snaking around his blond partner's neck. He suddenly felt a bit more daring, ready to go an extra mile.
"Don't worry, I will, but I will prepare you first. I don't want to hurt you." Cloud reached out for the lubricant that he kept in his bedside table; conveniently, he found an unopened condom pack. He then commenced with lubricating Atlas' anus with his middle finger. "Tell me if it hurts, okay?" he added as he stroked the boy's inner walls gently.
Atlas trembled, but forced himself to endure for Cloud's sake. "I… I'm fine, Cloud…" He dropped to his hands and knees to make Cloud's job easier. "Just… don't go easy on me, okay?" he pleaded, getting bolder by the second.
No, Atlas wasn't fine. He was trembling, and Cloud didn't like seeing that. He did like to get wild and rough, but for Atlas' first time, he didn't want it to hurt. He placed soft, comforting kisses up the boy's smooth back while stroking his hair. "Atlas, I want to go slow with you first. If we go too fast, I could hurt you."
Atlas sighed. "Alright… but if I'm good enough for another chance with you, don't go easy on me again…" He gripped the sheets as Cloud brushed his insides. Every now and then, he bit his bottom lip. "Ow… Hurts a little, but… it feels good…" The teen could feel his dick pulse between his legs.
Cloud took Atlas' cock into his grasp once he felt the boy relax a bit. "Does that feel good?" he asked, growing harder as he watched his partner's form. He so craved the cute moans, whines, and gasps that Atlas was prone to making.
Sweet sounds did shoot from Atlas in little time. "Ah! Cloud! Feels… so good…!" He whimpered, placing his hand on his older partner's, on his twitching dick. He didn't want Cloud to stop. He didn't want the moment to end. Everything felt perfect.
Soon, Cloud could insert two, and then three fingers. He had Atlas moaning for more. He quickly removed his fingers and rolled the condom onto his hard manhood. He wanted that body so badly that it ached him, but he ignored his own need and eased into the young gunner. He groaned and and pulled back a bit when his scrotum touched Atlas' ass, but moved in again after feeling the boy's muscles relax. He then waited for a response.
"C-Cloud!" Atlas panted for a few seconds. "Please… I know that you want it badly! If you need it, just take me! I don't care if it hurts! I want to be your best partner! Take me, please! Use me!"
Those words shattered Cloud's last barrier. He began at a slow and steady pace, moaning and groaning under his breath. "Gods, you're so tight…" he huffed, loving the constriction gracing his cock. He increased his movements, taking his partner by the hips to go deeper. He changed his angle to hit the prostate just right. "Now, do you like that?"
Atlas gasped heavily as lights flashed through his eyes. "Gah! Gods, Cloud! Don't… Don't stop! I'm yours!" he tried to restrain himself from screaming.
Atlas was near, and Cloud could sense it in his need to scream. "Come for me, Atlas. I want to hear you. Let me see and feel it on my hand." He thrust harder and faster, beating his partner's throbbing cock.
"Cloud… Am I… a good partner to you?" the boy asked, desperate to know if he was useful to his beautiful superior all.
"Yeah, a very good partner, Atlas…" Cloud answered, panting.
"Cloud… G'AH!" Atlas tensed up all over, his anal muscles squeezing the swordsman's hard-on. Pure semen spurted onto his and Cloud's hands. "I… love you… Cloud…" the boy grunted, his arms giving in at last.
Cloud thrust a few times more until he finally came, filling the condom. He crashed on top of Atlas, panting heavily and kissing the boy's nape. After rolling over, he brought Atlas up to rest on his sweaty chest, petting his hair while watching him with gentle, blue eyes.
The whole room smelled like hot sex and sweat, but it drove Atlas wild. He kissed Cloud's chest with a smile. "I swear… I'll be your best partner ever, in battle and in bed. You'll… always have me, Cloud…"
A gentle smile graced Cloud's lips. "I know you will be, my beauty. As long as you're with me, I'll take good care of you." He kissed the boy's forehead. "Want to go again, or would you rather sleep?"
Atlas smiled back. "I'm ready to take a nap! You should've gone easy on me!"
Cloud stared at this weird guy. He was rather cute in his shyness, but his hair color was really… green. The boy's eyes were shut, so perhaps that was why he didn't recognize him. "I am Cloud Strife. So, you're Atlas Southern-Cross…" When Cloud first heard that he would have a new partner, he thought that things would get boring, but, he was beginning to enjoy what hadn't even begun yet…
