Normally he didn't mind the snow. Growing up in the mountainous Niebelheim gave him some tolerance to the cold, and he'd always found it relaxing to watch the flakes drift towards the ground. The colder temperatures and lazily drifting snowflakes were often nostalgic for Cloud, a pleasant association to his childhood that was rarely found in the warmer climes of Midgar. Tonight, however, he was tired and very much ready to curl up in a nice warm bed and the gray slush was wearing his spirits down. The dreary ShinRa building that he was currently patrolling seemed to further diminish the beauty of the snow, instead just making it into one more setback to endure.
Some nights patrol seemed to last forever.
Cloud heard the drone of a helicopter moving overhead and felt his mood rise slightly. Hopefully a certain redheaded Turk had finally finished his mission. His patrol partner also heard the noise and gave Cloud a smirk. His expression quickly shifted from smug to indignant, however, letting out a muffled 'oomph' as Cloud elbowed him in the ribs. Though the couple had tried to keep their relationship quiet, they had not managed to avoid rumours and Cloud was in no mood for the inevitable teasing that was sure to be sent his way.
For the past month the sound of helicopter blades had made Cloud's spirits rise, each time sparking a hope that a certain redhead would be on board. So far his hopes had been constantly dashed as he found nothing but an empty apartment waiting for him, and worry would once again claw through his stomach to replace the hope. Due to his status as cadet coupled with the often secretive nature of his lover's work, they had not even been able to so much as talk over the phone. Hopefully, tonight he wouldn't have to go back to an empty home.
Movement ahead caught both of the cadets' attention before any mockery could begin from his partner, and Cloud was more than happy to finally see the approaching pair of cadets due to relieve them from patrol. While it wasn't terribly late, it had been a long day and he was eager to get inside and warm up. Maybe he could even persuade the Turk to have a quiet night snuggling on the sofa in front of a good film if he was indeed back. Knowing his loudmouthed lover's inability to sit still, Cloud doubted he'd get this. At least not without constant groping.
The pair of cadets rushed inside, neither in any mood for idle banter as they headed towards the barracks and a nice warming shower, stopping briefly to report in from patrol. As soon as Cloud was finished with his hurried shower and had dropped his snow-damp laundry off, he headed towards the building that housed the Turks apartments. Cloud took the cardkey from his pocket as he approached his lover's door, hoping it was indeed his helicopter and looking forward to an evening away from the crowded barracks.
Warm smells of food and a pair of hastily kicked off boots greeted him as he entered the apartment, confirming that Reno was finally back. The mission had been fairly long, and the blond had missed the mischievous redhead. Cloud quickly removed his shoes, pushing them over to join the other pair and went in search of the owner of the apartment.
The neatness of the Turk's home never failed to surprise Cloud, and he absently noted it again as he moved through the softly lit living room. The sight of the minimal wooden furniture and the feel of the soft beige carpet under his feet soothed the weary cadet, as it always did upon entering the redhead's apartment. Cloud walked towards the kitchen, where delicious smells promised he'd find Reno. This had been another unexpected revelation at the beginning of their relationship; Reno could cook. Perhaps not brilliantly, but it beat the cafeteria food.
Cloud found his lover at his coffee machine. Hearing the younger man enter the room, Reno rushed and bundled the blonde into his arms, locking their mouths together. Cloud eventually broke the kiss and laid his head against the taller mans chest, relishing the strong, lithe form against him, finally relaxing fully now that he was safe in his lover's arms. Cloud hadn't realised just how much he worried for the Turk until the tension melted from his body.
'I missed you.' he murmured into Reno's open collar.
'So you got my message then?' Reno replied gruffly, moving his hand up to ruffle Cloud's blonde spikes, which were still slightly damp from his shower.
'Hmm?' Cloud reached down to his PHS, still not breaking the embrace. He found a message from Reno inviting him to his apartment, and didn't know whether to giggle or sigh at the crude innuendos the redhead had used. He settled on another kiss, pressing his lips firmly against Reno's and moving a hand through the unruly red hair.
'I'll go make up some food. And then we can have some dessert.' The lewd look that accompanied the end of that sentence made Cloud sure that the dessert would not be edible, at least not in the traditional sense, and it instantly brought a delicate blush to his cheeks. 'Or maybe we should just skip to the dessert, hmm?' With that he slid a hand down to firmly grope the shorter man's bottom, eliciting a quick intake of breath that made the redhead smirk.
'Go finish cooking.' Cloud stalked off to make them drinks, hoping his lover hadn't noticed the slight bulge in his trousers. He definitely wasn't tired anymore.
'So what do ya want me to give ya, love? How about some juicy sausage?'
Once they had finished eating and the table was clear, Cloud and Reno moved to the living room to put a movie on. Cloud was getting his quiet evening curled up in front of a TV after all. He had missed the easy conversations with Reno, and had found himself relaxing even more in Reno's presence during the meal.
While they were eating they had talked about small events over the past month and Reno related what he could of the mission. Hearing about Rude having to play the part of a karaoke DJ as part of their cover struck Cloud as ridiculously funny. When Reno confessed that he had snuck an Abba track into the player while there was a lull in volunteers, forcing Rude to sing along, Cloud fell into fits of laughter. The image of the usually reserved Turk singing 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A Man After Midnight' was too much for Cloud and he had nearly choked on his food.
Now neither man paid much attention to the film; instead each revelled in the feel of the other's body spooned against their own, the comforting heat and closeness more than welcome after a month apart. Cloud felt the long day's weariness ease from his mind and body and be replaced by steadily increasing arousal. And if the hardness pressing insistently against his backside was anything to go by, Reno shared the sentiment.
Cloud turned so that he was facing Reno and took advantage of the access to his lover's lips. The kisses were tender with no urgency to them as the two men simply enjoyed each other. Cloud hummed his appreciation as Reno lightly added his tongue to the kiss.
A hand ghosted up Cloud's side to cradle the base of his head, fingers lightly massaging and stroking. The feather light touches sent shivers down his spine, and he ran his own hands over Reno's lithe form, enjoying the feel of subtle but firm muscle beneath the clothes.
The kiss became more heated and little pants and gasps of breath decorated the air. Reno manoeuvred them so that Cloud sat straddling his lap, hands on Cloud's hips to encourage him to grind his hips down against Reno's hardness, causing Reno to moan low in his throat at the glorious friction. Cloud got the hint and took a moment to concentrate on providing Reno with the pressure he clearly wanted. Reno responded by sliding a slender hand under Cloud's top and playing with a nipple, caressing and pinching in the way he knew Cloud enjoyed. At this, Cloud gasped and threw his head back, panting.
Reno took advantage of the beautifully pale throat bared to him and began nipping and suckling along the deliciously smooth expanse of skin. Reno's ministrations made Cloud gasp again, making the desire in him rise even more. He wanted to feel Reno's bare skin against him.
Cloud tilted his head back down so that he could meet Reno's lips with his own again. This kiss was harsher, filled with need as their tongues met. The buttons of Reno's shirt were hastily undone and Cloud slid it off lean shoulders to reveal a slender torso.
They parted their kiss again so that Reno could peel off Cloud's top, and he groaned as he was granted the feel of bare skin against his own. There was an edge of urgency to their kissing now and Reno stood, with Cloud still attached at his hips, to move them into the bedroom. Cloud locked his legs around Reno's waist and bit lightly at the point where neck meets shoulder. Reno growled at this assault, nearly tripping in his need to reach the bed and feel the blonde beneath him.
'Going to get that dessert I wanted now, hmm?' Reno eyed Cloud's bare torso lewdly and Cloud felt his cheeks burn.
Then Cloud felt himself falling backwards, landing on Reno's bed with the redhead sprawled on top of him and between his spread legs. The second they touched the bed, Reno was clawing at Cloud's belt and trousers and Cloud quickly started to comply, wiggling the unwanted items off as quickly as possible without having to move from under Reno's welcome weight.
As soon as all of his clothing was removed Cloud started to work on making Reno as naked as he himself was. Once his trousers had been removed, Reno reached up to the bedside drawer to grab the lube, and Cloud saw him pause as he caught sight of some of the toys they had in there. He must have decided against using any of them, however, as he was soon back to kissing Cloud as he put the little bottle within easy reach. Reno marked a trail from Cloud's ear to his collar bone, leaving little red marks that looked beautiful against the pale skin.
'Want you,' Reno panted out and Cloud felt another surge of need surge through him.
Cloud finally got the last of the clothes off Reno, and the redhead ground their exposed arousals together, making both of them moan.
Cloud rolled them so that he was straddling Reno's hips. He lightly kissed the throat beneath him, slowly working his way down but always keeping it light, teasing. Reno groaned as Cloud began lapping at a small nipple, and slender fingers gripped at Clouds shoulders and the top of his arms, trying to encourage more contact.
Cloud released the small bud from his lips and began to work his way further down, kissing and nipping at smooth, pearly skin and toned stomach until he reached a thatch of red hair. Reno's breath hitched in anticipation, but Cloud continued to tease, kissing the ridge between hip and groin.
'Please, baby. Suck me. Want your pretty little mouth around me.' Luminous blue eyes met sea green, mischievousness shining through them as Cloud moved lower. Never breaking eye contact, he lapped at the end of Reno's erection, causing Reno to flush with need, with want. Reno was clearly fighting an urge to thrust up into that teasing mouth and Cloud felt a smirk slide its way onto his face.
He suddenly took Reno in his mouth and swallowed as much of the hardness as he could, making Reno give a harsh cry at the abrupt pleasure. Cloud eased right to the very tip, then just as slowly moved down to the very hilt, swallowing to ease the way to the back of his throat. He gave a few slow, languid sucks, making sure to work all the way from base to tip then back again. He could feel his own need throbbing between his legs, desperate for the same sort of attention that he was currently giving Reno.
'Want to taste you too,' Cloud felt himself twitch at this request. He let Reno's erection slide from his mouth and lowered his head, tongue flitting out to lick at heavy balls before sucking one into his mouth. He brought a hand to lightly stroke Reno's penis and he let the globe out of his mouth with a loud sucking sound.
Cloud then began to turn, moving his hips towards Reno's face while keeping his own head nestled in Reno's groin. He felt Reno's hand grip a leg, moving him into position. Once he was settled he took Reno's length back into his mouth and groaned as he felt a slick digit enter him as a hot mouth enveloped his own erection.
Cloud set about putting the intense sensations to the back of his mind as he in turn attempted to provide Reno with as much pleasure as he possibly could, licking and sucking with all the skill he had. The air grew thick with the sound of harsh breathing and wet suction. The distinctly erotic sounds added to Cloud's excitement, leaving him feeling as though nothing of him was safe from Reno's assault on his senses.
A second finger was inserted into Cloud's tight heat, gently stretching and preparing him, making pleasure shoot through his entire body. He groaned as Reno's fingers moved in a way he particularly enjoyed. In retaliation, Cloud moved to tease the very tip of Reno's cock the way that he knew would make his lover writhe, causing a shudder to run the length of the redhead's body. Soon Cloud felt another finger enter him, further loosening him. Then an idea popped into his head.
'Lube,' Cloud managed to pant out after letting Reno's length slide from his mouth with a final lick. While he had never topped the redhead, he knew that Reno enjoyed the extra stimulation. Reno let out a deep groan at what he knew his lover was proposing and hastily fumbled a little tube into Cloud's hand.
Cloud quickly but thoroughly slicked up a few fingers of his right hand and reached around Reno's slender thigh, lightly stroking it as he passed before reaching a firm buttock. He gently rubbed at the puckered hole, making sure not to breach the entry, simply tease. With his other hand he gave a few light strokes of Reno's length before resuming his grip at the base, holding it in position for his mouth.
While his mouth lowered to consume Reno's erection, he smoothly pushed a slick digit into the tight hole. He smirked around the hardness filling his mouth as the dual sensations ripped a ragged cry from Reno, whose hands moved to tightly grip Cloud's thighs as though holding on for dear life.
Cloud once again began to bob his head while he simultaneously massaged the silky tightness enveloping his finger. He moved his left hand to lightly restrain the hips that were attempting to buck and force Reno's hardness deeper into his mouth, gently massaging smooth skin with his thumb to soothe the redhead.
'Cloud,' Reno gasped out, 'Want to be in you. Now, Love. Need you.' Reno's voice was thick with arousal.
Excitement rushed thickly through Cloud's veins; Reno wasn't the only one becoming desperate. He wanted to feel Reno's hardness fill him, moving deep within him. The anticipation rose within him, making his heart thunder in his chest.
Cloud eased his finger from Reno and let the swollen length fall from between his lips, giving one final kiss to the tip, before turning himself to straddle Reno's stomach.
Sky blue eyes met sea green and Cloud felt himself locked in place, unable or unwilling to move as he looked into those eyes that he had always found so beautiful.
Then the spell broke as Reno moved into a sitting position and wrapped his arms around Cloud, trailing kisses down his cheekbone. Cloud was practically shaking with need now, and he could feel the tension in the body below him, thrumming with the same desire.
After another kiss that made heat pool into Cloud's groin, Reno moved them again, positioning them so that Cloud lay on his back with Reno between spread legs. The bed dipped slightly as Reno reached above Cloud for a pillow, and Cloud obligingly raised his hips for it to be positioned.
'Ready, Love?' Cloud's heart swelled as Reno acted so tenderly considerate despite his obvious state of desperate arousal.
'Please, yes. Do it. Do me.' Cloud squirmed beneath Reno, his excitement making him unable to be still. Then Cloud felt Reno moving, lowering his arm to take himself in hand and better position himself to enter Cloud. Cloud moaned in anticipation, needing to feel his lover inside of him.
Reno's slick length finally breached Cloud's hot entrance, and while there was a slight discomfort, he was well stretched and relaxed and it soon dissipated, replaced by severe pleasure that thrummed throughout his entire body. He wasn't going to last at this rate; should Reno move within him now the intense pleasure would tip him over the edge.
He reached up to wind his arms around slender shoulders and brought Reno's delicate red lips to meet his own. The kiss was tender, filled with love, as both instinctively understood that they each needed a slight pause to collect themselves and anything more heated would have been counterproductive. As they parted they were both still breathing heavily, but the edge of desperation both men had been feeling had receded slightly.
'Missed you,' Cloud whispered. And he truly had; the month Reno had been away had been filled with worry and longing. Now that they were joined so intimately, Cloud felt his love give an extra layer of depth, emotional pleasure mixing with physical to make his body sing.
In reply Reno simply gave a little smile and stroked long pianists fingers through golden hair, face so full of care and love that Cloud felt his breath hitch slightly. Then suddenly Clouds breath was catching for a completely different reason as Reno began to move deep within him.
Reno began a steady rhythm, but Cloud wanted it harder, rougher. He wanted to imprint himself on Reno, wanted to make up for the month lost. Cloud began to move his hips up to meet Reno's thrusts and grasped at pale shoulders with his hands, trying to get more friction. Reno gave in to Cloud's silent demands and soon Cloud was soon gasping and mewling with his need for release. They were both so close to the edge, and this new tempo was pushing them even closer.
Suddenly Reno's hand was around Cloud's erection, pumping in time with his thrusts, and Cloud as undone. He felt his muscles clench around Reno's length as he cried out his release, chest heaving at the intense waves of pleasure. After a few more erratic thrusts Reno joined him in orgasm and he felt seed explode into his passage.
After a moment of stillness in which both men desperately tried to control their breathing Reno eased himself from Cloud, who hissed slightly in his sensitivity. Reno gave him a gentle kiss on the nose in silent apology and lay down beside him, both enjoying a moment to relax in each other's arms.
Sex often left Cloud feeling contentedly drained of energy. It had the opposite effect on Reno. The usually fidgety redhead became positively restless. While he always made sure to cuddle Cloud afterwards until he fell asleep, Cloud had woken later more than once to find Reno absent from the bed, cleaning or doing some other paltry task to burn off some energy. Now as they lay together, Cloud felt one of Reno's hands playing in his hair and gently massaging his scalp while the other stroked his arm, but otherwise Reno managed to be still.
Reno soon untangled himself from Cloud, moving from the bed and into the adjoining bathroom. He soon returned with a damp cloth and began to run it down Cloud's pale stomach and Cloud felt much more comfortable once the last traces of stickiness were wiped from his body. Reno sauntered back to the bathroom to return the cloth and to presumably to clean himself up a little too. Cloud was beginning to miss the warm body next to his, but then Reno was next to him again and he could relax back into a sleepy state of fulfilment.
The waiting was over. He had his love back and everything was fine again. He could relax and sleep peacefully tonight.
'So, baby, you ready to go again?'
Perhaps not as peacefully as he'd hoped.
Cloud lay sleepily in the comfort of Reno's arms, serenely enjoying the warmth as he listened to his lover's steady heartbeat. He didn't want to fall asleep just yet; he was enjoying being in Reno's arms too much.
'You ok, love?' Reno sleepily mumbled out. Cloud hadn't even realised he was awake.
'Mmmh. Happy,' Was the tired reply. Reno's hand came up to gently stroke Clouds hair, pushing Cloud even closer to sleep.
Cloud felt Reno's lips press to the top of his head before the chest beneath his ear began the steady rise and fall of sleep, arms still holding him tightly even in slumber. Feeling safe and reassured in that warm embrace, Cloud finally surrendered himself to sleep.
A/N: Thank you so much for reading! I'm planning on having this run for a fair few chapters and I've also started writing a prequel as well as a sequel. I don't have a beta, though, and if anyone's willing to beta for me, even if it's just an odd chapter or two, pretty pretty please get in touch!
Also, next chapter is longer and has more than just wanton smut. I promise.
Lilly.
